Chapter 140 Playing_1
Qin Feiyang had only one purpose for this visit: to understand Lin Yiyi’s current living situation. However, he couldn’t appear overly concerned about her in front of Lin Han, as it would arouse Lin Han’s suspicion. Lin Han might even use Lin Yiyi to get close to Qin Feiyang or to bribe him. Therefore, staying temporarily at the Lin residence was the best choice.
After some casual conversation in the reception hall, Lin Han suggested taking Qin Feiyang for a stroll outside. Qin Feiyang didn’t refuse.
The layout of the Lin family’s estate was quite exquisite. Clusters of artificial rockeries stood amidst a profusion of blooming flowers. A small, winding stream traversed the entire Lin Mansion, its water crystal clear, revealing schools of colorful fish frolicking playfully. On either bank, vibrant green saplings swayed in the breeze like young maidens exuding youthful vitality.
However, Qin Feiyang paid no attention to any of this, preoccupied as he was with figuring out how to meet Lin Yiyi without arousing suspicion.
Unconsciously, noon arrived. Steward Lin approached and bowed. "Family Head, the food and wine are ready."
"Mm." Family Head Lin nodded, then smiled at Qin Feiyang. "Little brother, please!"
"Please," Qin Feiyang replied.
The dishes were plentiful, a feast of color, aroma, and taste.
At the entrance, apart from several maids, stood a young man and a young woman. The man, about twenty years old and dressed in a purple robe, bore a slight resemblance to Lin Han. The girl was only fifteen or sixteen. She wore a spotless, pure white long dress. Her silky hair was dark and lustrous. Her skin was like smooth jade, her features as picturesque as a painting. She looked like a lady who had stepped out of a scroll, an absolutely stunning beauty!
However, if one looked closely, a hint of melancholy could be discerned within her clear eyes.
Qin Feiyang and Lin Han walked over from the path ahead. When Qin Feiyang looked up and saw the girl in white, a flicker of joy lit up his eyes.
