Chapter 239 Going Back to Hometown
Chapter 239 Going Back to Hometown
Time flew by, and two days had passed.
Shen Yao needed to prepare to leave because the university over there was about to start its new semester. Although she was extremely reluctant to part with Lin Feng, she had to return to school, which left her in utter turmoil.
"Yaoyao, promise me you’ll prioritize your studies, okay? Only by learning well can you help your family. There will be plenty of time for us to be together in the future. There’s no need to be together all day long right now," Lin Feng knew exactly why Shen Yao was clinging to him so tightly. She felt the time to return home was near and didn’t want to leave him, so he took the initiative to persuade Shen Yao, hoping she would see things more clearly.
"Okay, I promise, but I really don’t want to leave you! What should I do if I miss you?" Shen Yao clutched at Lin Feng desperately, feeling a million reluctant knots in her heart. She didn’t want to leave Lin Feng, but she steeled herself and agreed, because what he said was right. She needed to focus on her studies now to help her family in the future, so she had to do as Lin Feng suggested.
However, she really wanted to be with Lin Feng. The happiness she had experienced in the past two days was about to make her lose herself, a feeling of bliss she had never known before. She was now truly infatuated with this sensation.
"If you miss me, you can call me. But don’t throw a tantrum like a child and come running over whenever you want. That would disrupt your studies, you know?" Lin Feng caressed Shen Yao’s head, comforting her. He didn’t want her to come to Tianhai on a whim, as that would greatly impact her education.
"I understand. Can I come to see you during my winter and summer breaks?" Shen Yao reluctantly agreed not to visit Lin Feng in Tianhai randomly, and to call him when she missed him. She recognized that what Lin Feng had said was true, and the only right thing to do was to follow his advice.
"Of course you can. And if I’m free, I might even come to Yuegang to see you," Lin Feng said as he looked at Shen Yao in his arms, feeling the warmth for all that she meant to him, then gently kissed her on the forehead.
"Lin Feng..." Shen Yao lowered her head shyly, reproaching Lin Feng for his kiss. For some reason, the memory of what had happened on their first night together came flooding back, and her face heated up once again.
Just then, Lin Feng’s phone suddenly rang.
Lin Feng quickly pulled out his phone and answered the call without thinking, because the ringtone was the special one he had set for his parents. It must be a call from them. Weren’t they back at their ancestral home? Why were they calling him?
"Hello, Dad, what’s happened?" Lin Feng was very surprised. It was odd that his father was the one calling, as it was usually his mother who handled things. Why didn’t his mom call instead?
"Son, there’s a problem with the demolition at our ancestral home. Can you come over?" Lin Yiwen sounded pleased to hear his son’s voice, but now wasn’t the time to chat. It was more important to get his son over to figure things out, as that was the most pressing matter.
"What’s happened? Is there a problem at the ancestral home?" Hearing his dad’s call, Lin Feng became even more puzzled. What kind of problem could there be with a demolition at the ancestral home? Could it have encountered a forceful demolition?
"Yes, it’s about the demolition. There’s been a lot of trouble, and it’s hard to explain over the phone. You’ll understand when you’re here." Lin Yiwen still insisted on getting his son to come over quickly, as the situation was complicated, and it wasn’t something that could be clearly conveyed over the phone. Only with his son present could things be clarified, especially now when they were really out of options to resolve the village’s issues. They were hoping his son could bring some unexpected solutions.
"All right, I’ll hurry over there." Upon hearing his father say so, Lin Feng immediately indicated that he would rush there as soon as possible and then hung up the phone, looking at Shen Yao in his arms with a helpless shake of his head.
"It seems I can’t even stay to keep you company. My dad just called from our ancestral home asking me to deal with some matters." Lin Feng informed Shen Yao about the content of the call. Such emergencies were unforeseeable, and coincidentally, Shen Yao also had to return to Yuegang. Both events converged at the same time.
"Well then, since you have matters to attend to, you should take care of those first. Oh, and my car followed the Ocean Number here. I’ll have them bring over my RV so they can take you there," upon hearing that Lin Feng indeed had urgent matters to deal with, Shen Yao had no choice but to part with him. After thinking it over, she decided to arrange for her RV to be brought to Lin Feng so he could travel comfortably.
"That would be good," Lin Feng didn’t refuse. His car had already been taken by Ding Wan’er and the others, and he was currently without a vehicle to rush over, so Shen Yao’s car would do the trick.
"I’ll have them bring it over right away." Shen Yao had just heard the urgency in the phone call, and since Lin Feng had serious business to attend to, there shouldn’t be any delay. She immediately called her driver to bring over the long-distance RV.
Lin Feng thought it over and decided to have Lin Jie join him in returning to their hometown. That would ensure a safer and more comprehensive approach to the situation. He immediately called Lin Jie to inform her that they would return to their hometown together and asked her to come back as soon as possible.
Shen Yao’s vehicle arrived, and to Lin Feng’s surprise, what she referred to as an RV for long trips turned out to be a luxurious mobile home. It was practically a movable house, with an extravagantly styled front truck that was bound to catch anyone’s eye. At a glance, it was obvious that the vehicle was extremely expensive. To have such an RV on the road would definitely attract everyone’s attention.
"Shen Yao, your car is just too over the top," Lin Feng said, feeling completely at a loss for words. If he had known earlier that this was the car Shen Yao was talking about, he wouldn’t have accepted the offer. It was just too much trouble.
"It’s fine, since it’s already here, you might as well use it. This car is only used by me, so it’s very clean. You can basically sleep and not feel anything, plus you can rest assured about the driver, they’re all professionals and very safe," explained Shen Yao, understanding Lin Feng’s meaning. She knew her car was indeed a bit much, but as long as Lin Feng was comfortable, nothing else mattered.
"Alright then," Lin Feng gave in, knowing the car had already arrived and it would be rude to send it back. Besides its flamboyance, there wasn’t much else to fault it for, and he remembered the road to his hometown was in good condition, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
"That’s great, hehe," Shen Yao chuckled happily as Lin Feng agreed to use her car, and she snuggled against his chest.
"Don’t worry, I’ll come to visit you in Yuegang when I have time," Lin Feng comforted her, feeling her reluctance to part and hoping she could handle the separation rationally.
"Mm, I know what to do, I just want to be by your side," Shen Yao said, no longer feeling tense as she lay quietly in Lin Feng’s arms, comforted by his love.
Soon, Lin Jie, who received Lin Feng’s call, also rushed back and was astonished to see this ostentatiously styled motorhome. Wondering whom it belonged to, she pushed the villa’s main gate, rang the doorbell to find no one, and then took out her phone to call Lin Feng.
Lin Feng answered Lin Jie’s call and saw her through the glass standing at the villa’s gate. He signaled to Shen Yao that Lin Jie had returned, and then he and Shen Yao both got out of the car to welcome her.
"Lin Jie, come on, we’ll take this car back home," Lin Feng called out to Lin Jie to board the vehicle.
"Oh, got it," Lin Jie responded upon seeing Lin Feng coming down from the extravagant motorhome with a beautiful woman. Her heart skipped a beat. Who was this woman, and how come she was with Brother Lin Feng in such a luxurious vehicle? However, the clever Lin Jie knew there were some questions better left unasked to avoid awkwardness and estrangement. So, she chose to remain silent.
"Shen Yao, now that Lin Jie is here, we should get going. You should head back to Yuegang too," Lin Feng said to Shen Yao who was still standing outside the door, taking her hand to comfort her and suggesting she return to Yuegang.
"Yes, I know. I’ll head to the airport after watching you leave," Shen Yao replied, simply wanting to stand there and see them off with her own eyes.
"We’re getting in the car now, goodbye," Lin Feng said, leading Lin Jie into the motorhome, then waving goodbye to Shen Yao outside. Although he felt a tinge of reluctance, his father seemed very anxious, so he had to take Lin Jie and hurry back.
"Lin Feng, you must come to see me!" Shen Yao called out, then turned her head away, not daring to look at Lin Feng any longer, as tears streamed down her face.
"I will," Lin Feng promised.
After finishing, he closed the car door and felt a sour sensation in his heart at the sight of Shen Yao outside. Having spent the past few days together, he realized she really was a wonderful person, and he definitely planned to visit her when he had the chance.
The luxury motorhome started up and then headed towards Lin Feng’s hometown.
Lin Jie didn’t utter a word, simply sitting quietly beside Lin Feng, filled with questions. Who exactly was this beautiful woman? Who owned this vehicle? What was her relationship with Brother Lin Feng? How come she was so close to him?...
Lin Jie’s heart was tumultuous, unable to understand why a gorgeous girl had suddenly appeared and seemed to be quite close to Brother Lin Feng. She had never heard any mention of Brother Lin Feng having a girlfriend, especially not one who seemed so cultured and from such a wealthy family. Who was this girl, and why had Brother Lin Feng never mentioned her?
Now her mind was preoccupied with how to continue her relationship with Brother Lin Feng and be with him forever. If she could be with Brother Lin Feng, nothing else really mattered. The sudden appearance of this beautiful Shen Yao put tremendous pressure on her. If she didn’t act fast, she feared she wouldn’t stand a chance.
With these thoughts, her headache intensified. She might not know the exact value of the vehicle, but she could guess it wasn’t cheap. This implied that Shen Yao’s family must be exceptionally wealthy, plus she was so beautiful and close to Lin Feng. Lin Jie truly didn’t know how to face this situation...
