Chapter 540: Wait and See
Ling Feng’s neck stiffened, "Of course it’s true!"
Seeing the look in Lu Liang’s eyes, he continued to ask, "What? Old Lu, don’t you believe me?"
"Of course not, it’s just that your arrival was a bit abrupt, I was somewhat startled for a moment, after all, you are a distinguished guest of the Lu Family!" Lu Liang said with a smile.
With that response, Ling Feng felt reassured and smiled, "What distinguished guest, I’m just honored that the Lu Family Head thinks highly of me. Thinking it over, before and after the New Year, I felt I went a bit too far, so here I am to apologize to you, sir!"
"What’s the use of apologizing now that it has come to this?" Lu Liang said with a faint smile.
Ling Feng heard this and thought, now you’re feeling spirited, revealing your true thoughts, blaming me for going too far back then?
He didn’t respond to Lu Liang’s words but turned his head to glance at Sun Lei, "How’s your recovery lately?"
"Not bad."
Sun Lei didn’t expect him to ask, and after a pause, he nodded slightly.
Ling Feng smiled and turned back to face Lu Liang, "Old Lu’s means are truly brilliant. I thought he would have to spend the second half of his life in bed, but to think he’d recover so quickly, now he’s no different from normal people, right?"
"Thanks to you, fortunate to have met a skilled doctor!" Lu Liang said indifferently.
"Oh? Which doctor is it? I was also a rural doctor once, with such skillful medical expertise, I would indeed love to learn a thing or two!" Ling Feng immediately asked.
However, Lu Liang just shook his head, "Let’s not discuss that. That skilled doctor is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he doesn’t like interacting with outsiders. You won’t be able to meet him even if you want to."
"If that’s so, then I won’t insist."
Ling Feng spoke and took out two bags of fruit from his Space Ring, "I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to buy any gifts, so I got some fruit from the roadside, a small gesture of my intention, I hope Old Lu won’t find it too meager."
Both Lu Liang and Sun Lei twitched at the corner of their eyes!
When Ling Feng came, he was empty-handed, now conjuring items out of thin air, obviously he had spatial equipment on him!
Firstly, he had driven all this way, claiming he was here to express an apology, yet he brought these fruits worth less than thirty yuan. Is he fooling ghosts?
Sun Lei’s expression turned sour, and he was about to explode, but a look from Lu Liang stopped him, and after a dry chuckle he said, "Mr. Ling is thoughtful, we appreciate your sentiment, but keep the fruit."
"I bought them with money, just keep them and eat!"
Ling Feng laughed and turned to leave.
Until he returned to his car, he didn’t see the master and disciple come out of the house. Ling Feng chuckled darkly and started his car to leave.
Meanwhile, Lu Liang was sitting there with a gloomy face, silent.
Sun Lei stood by, waiting for a while without hearing him speak, so he carefully asked, "Master..."
"Don’t talk, let me think!"
Lu Liang raised his hand, stopping his disciple’s words.
After a long silence, he finally looked up at his disciple, "This Ling Feng, is he very close with the Chu Family?"
Sun Lei nodded, "Yes, as far as I know, he hasn’t known old Chu Nan for very long, but they’ve become quite close."
"Got it, you can go now."
Lu Liang did not say more and slowly closed his eyes.
...
...
On the way back to the provincial city, Ling Feng called Wang Laogen and recounted the event’s outcome.
After listening, Wang Laogen laughed, "That attitude of yours isn’t one of an apology, it’s clearly a provocation!"
"Really? I don’t think so, it’s just that the gift was a bit cheap!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Isn’t that deliberately showing off to Mr. Lu? He’d be odd not to be angry!" Wang Laogen said, somewhat speechless.
Ling Feng, "Getting angry is certain, but I didn’t expect the old man to have such good self-control, actually holding back without any reaction!"
He paused, then continued, "And what’s really strange is that Sun Lei, who had totally lost his Dantian, has recovered as quickly as a normal person. This medical skill is almost catching up to mine!"
Wang Laogen was taken aback, "That is indeed something new. You didn’t get anything out of him?"
"Nope, Lu Liang is too cunning, he didn’t say a word!"
"Got it, we’ll talk more when you’re back!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "I won’t be going to your place, I need to deliver a car to Li Yun. If anything comes up, just call me!"
"That works."
After returning to the Luo Family’s residence, Ling Feng parked the car and went upstairs.
Li Yun was sitting in the living room on the second floor. Seeing him return, she immediately stood up and asked, "How did it go?"
"Not bad at all, I’ve taken care of everything Wang Laogen proposed, now it’s all about waiting for Lu Liang’s reaction!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Oh."
Li Yun nodded, not saying anything more.
Ling Feng looked at her, stepped forward to sit beside her, and then asked with a smile, "Why aren’t you talking?"
Li Yun, not looking at him and with her head lowered, asked, "What is there to say?"
Ling Feng took her hand, "I have a good opportunity today to discuss something with you."
"Wha... what’s that?"
Li Yun’s breathing became rapid, and her heartbeat sped up significantly.
"With the Luo Family in its current state, there isn’t much for you to stick around for, so why don’t you move to my place," Ling Feng suggested.
"Isn’t that unnecessary? I go to Nine Heavens every day with Sister Lan; why would I need to move in?" Li Yun was startled for a moment before she looked up and asked.
Ling Feng smiled, "Shiyun isn’t here, and Jiaolan has her own things to keep her busy. I’m short of a hand and after thinking it over, you’re the most suitable candidate."
"..."
Li Yun didn’t respond, her head was lowered as if lost in thought. Seeing this, Ling Feng reached out to loop an arm around her shoulder, "You’re not still hung up over Luo Nanlin’s affairs, are you?"
"No, I’ve thought it through," she quickly glanced at him before adding, "Now that I think about it, all these years by his side, I’ve just been playing the role of a nanny. I really don’t think it was worth it for myself!"
"It’s never too late to have a realization," Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Li Yun nodded, "Mhm."
"So, I’ll take this as your agreement. I’ll say hi to Sister Lan later, and you can pack up your things and move over," Ling Feng said.
Li Yun bit her lip and peeked at him, but remained silent.
Ling Feng instantly understood her feelings and said with a smile, "Worried about not having an official status?"
As he spoke, his other hand slid down from her knee, and then he lifted her into his arms.
Li Yun was startled and quickly looked up at him, "What are you doing?"
"Fulfilling a promise I made long ago."
With a smile, Ling Feng carried her into the bedroom.
At that moment, Li Yun’s mind went blank. Although she had anticipated this day, when it arrived, she was still filled with panic.
In just a moment, Ling Feng had laid her on the bed, and as those dark eyes looked at her, Li Yun’s face flushed red!
Feeling too bashful to look any longer, she had no choice but to close her eyes.
But this act was tantamount to silently consenting to Ling Feng’s actions, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly, leaning in to kiss her!
