Chapter 459 Make her one of our own
A night of passion.
The next morning when they woke up, Miao Ruoruo’s slender fingers playfully drew circles on Ling Feng’s chest, neither of them speaking, but occasionally exchanging sweet smiles after catching each other’s eyes.
These tender moments were rather rare, so both of them cherished them greatly.
However, time flew by too quickly, and before they knew it, it was already nine in the morning. Miao Ruoruo spoke up, "I need to go back, there’s urgent production work waiting for me today!"
"After the New Year, why don’t you just move your business center to my Shiliu Village?" Ling Feng said, holding her shoulder and reluctant to let go. "That way, we won’t have to be apart anymore."
Miao Ruoruo smiled sweetly, "I’d like that, but I’ve already invested so much, and I haven’t recovered the costs yet. How can I leave?"
"Besides, aren’t you working on the Teleportation Array? Once it’s done, I can come find you anytime, right? I’m just worried that you’ll be too busy by then!"
Ling Feng was touched by the teasing look in her eyes. It was indeed rare for her to be unconcerned about the presence of others and to be so accepting.
It wasn’t just her; other girls like Mo Jiaolan, Li Shiyun, and the rest were the same. Thinking of this filled Ling Feng’s heart with profound emotions.
After basking in each other’s presence for a little while longer, Miao Ruoruo struggled free from his embrace, "I really have to go, I can’t stay any longer!"
"Alright, I should head back too, we’re going the same way!" Ling Feng sat up and said.
"What’s the use if we’re not in the same car?" Miao Ruoruo rolled her eyes at him.
"At least I can escort you and keep you safe," Ling Feng said with a smile.
Joking and laughing, they finished getting ready and left the hotel together, each driving off in their own car from the provincial city.
Miao Ruoruo’s car was in the lead, with Ling Feng deliberately slowing down to follow behind. They maintained the same speed all the way until they were close to returning to the county.
As Ling Feng was about to take the exit from the highway, he flashed his headlights at the car in front. Miao Ruoruo responded with her hazard lights, and both of them smiled knowingly, sharing a small romantic moment.
After exiting the highway, Ling Feng had intended to head straight back to Shiliu Village, but before he knew it, he had turned off towards Junlin Hotel.
The thought of Mo Jiaolan, who hadn’t been to Shiliu Village much recently, crossed his mind, and he wanted to check on what she was busy with and see if she felt like going back to the village with him.
The hotel staff were all familiar with Ling Feng and greeted him with nods as he quickly made his way upstairs and gently pushed open the door to the office.
Mo Jiaolan was engrossed in something, and without looking up, she asked, "What is it?"
Ling Feng didn’t speak and instead pounced over, but Mo Jiaolan, sensing danger, abruptly raised her hand to strike!
"Hehe!"
With a laugh, Ling Feng caught her delicate little hand and pulled her into his embrace.
Mo Jiaolan let out a surprised yelp, but once she saw that it was him, she scolded with a feigned annoyance, "What are you doing? You scared me!"
"Just came to see you. What are you so focused on?" Ling Feng held her tightly and asked smilingly.
Mo Jiaolan let him hold her, her voice soft, "Financial reports, for the foundation’s work!"
"Oh? Wasn’t Wang Laogen in charge of that? How come it’s you going through the reports now?" Ling Feng was surprised.
"You just love to be hands-off, don’t you? We both have our tasks. I’m responsible for providing funds, and now I’m checking the account records for fund expenditure!" Mo Jiaolan shot back at him.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng finally understood, and he laughed, "Ah, so that’s how it is. You’ve been working hard. Let me see if you’ve lost weight."
As he spoke, his arms tightened slightly, lifting Mo Jiaolan off the ground.
While they were being affectionate, a staff member happened to pass by the door and blushed upon seeing this scene, quickly scurrying away.
Mo Jiaolan gently punched Ling Feng, "Can’t you even remember to close the door!"
"Who doesn’t know about our relationship? If they see, they see!"
Mo Jiaolan wasn’t really angry, she just rolled her eyes at him and then asked, "By the way, weren’t you supposed to be in the provincial city? How come you’re back so soon?"
"Yeah, once I finished my business, I came back. I was thinking you haven’t been to the village for a few days, so I came to check on you," Ling Feng said.
"I was actually planning to go this afternoon. It’s perfect timing that you’re here. Drive me there, will you?" Mo Jiaolan said with a smile.
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s great. I came to pick you up!"
Mo Jiaolan looked up at him, "Then aren’t you going to let go?"
"I haven’t hugged you enough yet. Let’s hug a little longer, what’s the rush?" Ling Feng chuckled.
Pouting, Mo Jiaolan shook her head helplessly and rested her face against Ling Feng’s chest, feeling his strong heartbeat and immediately felt a sense of security.
It was a while before the two of them separated. Afterward, she tidied up a bit, took the documents that needed to be dealt with, and went downstairs with Ling Feng.
On the way back to Shiliu Village, Ling Feng elaborated on what happened in Shahe Village, especially when he spoke of Wang Wan’er, Mo Jiaolan’s eyes widened, "Is it really that miraculous?"
"Although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, I think this girl wouldn’t lie to us, so I was thinking..." Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mo Jiaolan and continued, "I was thinking of making her one of our own!"
After saying this, he quickly explained, "What I mean is, to have her work for me, we can’t let such a capable person be poached by others!"
Mo Jiaolan glanced at him, "Is this Wang Wan’er very beautiful?"
Ling Feng looked embarrassed, "Uh, she’s alright, quite a unique temperament."
Seeing his reaction, Mo Jiaolan’s lips curled slightly, and she nodded slightly, "Got it."
Upon arriving back in Shiliu Village, it was just around noon. From a distance, they could see the smoke curling up from home, clearly lunch was being made.
Walking in with Mo Jiaolan’s hand in his, Ling Feng smiled, "Better to come back by happenstance than to come back early, just in time for lunch!"
Li Shiyun inside the house had already heard the car engine outside and turned around with a laugh, "That means you’re lucky with food!"
Upon seeing Mo Jiaolan, she quickly stood up, "Jiaolan, you’re here too!"
"Yeah, Shiyun, why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"
"Yuhe and Fei’er went to the greenhouse. They’re also picking some vegetables to bring back," Li Shiyun said.
Ling Feng picked up on something in her words and asked in confusion, "Also?"
"I forgot to tell you; Yuhe brought Wan’er over. They’re trying to plant medicinal herbs in the greenhouse, been busy all morning!" Li Shiyun answered.
"My goodness!"
Ling Feng exclaimed, slapping his thigh.
As a result of his sudden movement, Li Shiyun was startled, "What on earth are you doing?"
"Nothing, nothing. I was just discussing Wan’er’s situation with Jiaolan on the way here, and I didn’t expect that Yuhe and the others were more thoughtful than I anticipated, already having brought her over," Ling Feng said with delight.
"Such a fuss, I thought something had happened!" Li Shiyun replied, and immediately rolled her eyes at him.
