Chapter 444 Mom and Dad Are Back
Chapter 444 Mom and Dad Are Back
"That’s good." Lin Feng also felt the sincerity of the two girls and knew they were truly frightened and genuinely making a promise, so he felt at ease about them.
"Hehe, Junior Brother, you seem to care quite a bit about these two campus beauties, huh? You saved them twice last night and now you’re saying this..." Chu Meng couldn’t stand listening any longer and took the initiative to tease her junior brother. From last night until now, she had seen how he acted towards these two campus beauties. Could it be that he wanted to win over both of them?
"They are my students, so it’s normal for me to save and care about them." Lin Feng was aware that his senior sister’s remarks were probing his attitude, but such a question was easy to explain. He didn’t harbor any special thoughts towards the two campus beauties. It was still the same old saying: let everything take its course.
"Lin Feng, I plan to live here with Sister Chu Meng from now on, to keep her company. Sister Chu Meng, you don’t have any objections, do you?" Qian Duoduo had been listening for a while without interjecting, as her mind had been preoccupied with other matters.
Chu Meng had told Qian Duoduo that this was one of Lin Feng’s girlfriends’ houses, and right next door was Lin Feng’s home. If she could live here, wouldn’t that bring her closer to Lin Feng? That was exactly what she wanted—to be closer to Lin Feng, so she could...
After thinking it over, Qian Duoduo concluded that living with Chu Meng had only advantages and no disadvantages, which was why she took the initiative to speak up and express her intention to live with Chu Meng.
"Of course, I don’t mind. I also feel very lonely living here all by myself. It would be great to have you as my companion," said Chu Meng, immediately understanding the subtext of Qian Duoduo’s words. She wanted to be closer to Lin Feng, which meant more opportunities to see him, especially as he usually went home unless there was something special happening.
"Since Senior Sister has already said so, then you should stay here," responded Lin Feng upon hearing Qian Duoduo’s suggestion. He understood that she simply wanted to be closer to him and with his senior sister not objecting, he didn’t have any reason to disapprove, leaving him no choice but to agree.
"Then it’s settled. I don’t have any belongings with me right now, but I’ll go and get everything I need later, and then I’ll start keeping Sister Chu Meng company," Qian Duoduo said happily as soon as she heard that neither Lin Feng nor Chu Meng were opposed, and she quickly finalized the arrangement.
Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu never expected Qian Duoduo to request to live with Chu Meng. But then it dawned on them what Qian Duoduo truly meant—she must also be pursuing Teacher Lin. Otherwise, why would she ask to stay with Chu Meng and have more contact with Teacher Lin? Why hadn’t they thought of this before?
However, thinking about it was of no use. They were still Teacher Lin’s students, and unlike Qian Duoduo, Teacher Lin would never agree to them living there. Realizing this, Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu felt envious of Qian Duoduo. They too wished to live there, which would mean they could go to school with Teacher Lin every day and come back home together...
Seeing that Qian Duoduo was really going to stay at Chu Meng’s place, Lin Feng felt helpless. It looked like his home would soon become much livelier, and he wondered how his parents would react when they came back and met Chu Meng and Qian Duoduo.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Just then, Lin Feng’s phone rang. Taking it out, he saw it was a call from his parents, so he hurriedly answered.
"Mom, where are you guys? When will you be coming back?" Lin Feng asked eagerly, having returned home for several days without knowing when his parents would be back, and he missed them.
"Your father and I have already come back. We’ve just arrived home and didn’t see you, so we decided to give you a call," Zhang Lan’s voice sounded happy to hear her son’s voice. She had missed him during the days they were apart, and as soon as the matters in Lin Family Village were settled, they had rushed back to Tianhai.
"Alright, I’ll come home right away, very soon," Lin Feng said, not expecting that his parents would return so suddenly and calling only after arriving home. Knowing his parents were at home, Lin Feng expressed his intentions to return quickly before hanging up the phone.
"You guys rest here for a while. I’ll be back home soon. My parents have returned from my hometown, and I’m going to make them breakfast." After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng turned to the four beauties in the house and spoke. Honestly, he was feeling quite awkward in such a situation, and his parents’ return was a good excuse to leave. After saying goodbye, without waiting for their responses, he opened the door and left the villa, heading back to his nearby home.
"Sister Duoduo, why did you suddenly decide to live here?"
"Living here is quite nice! And Sister Chu Meng has agreed too."
"It’s quite boring being alone. Having Duoduo as company is much better."
"Sister Chu Meng, how long have you known Lin Feng?"
"Yeah, how come you’re Teacher Lin’s senior sister?"
...
After Lin Feng left, the people inside the house started chatting again, but they were just talking about trivial matters to pass the time. However, aside from Chu Meng, everyone, including Qian Duoduo, had their own little schemes in mind.
"Mom and Dad, you’re back! Why didn’t you call me in advance so I could come and pick you up? Traveling at night is so dangerous!" Lin Feng noticed that his parents had rushed home early in the morning and realized that they must have started their journey late the night before. If everything was settled, why were they in such a hurry to return? A simple phone call would have done; he would have definitely gone to pick them up to avoid the unsafe rush during the night.
"Son, we just haven’t seen you for so many days, and we missed you," Zhang Lan said, her hands fondly touching Lin Feng’s face and giving his cheeks a firm squeeze. Good, her son hadn’t lost weight during these days apart. If anything, she and her husband had slimmed down a bit. The food they had at home had made them picky, and the ordinary meals elsewhere felt like chewing wax, hardly palatable. So once the matters in Lin Family Village were settled, the two of them immediately headed back to see their son.
"Mom and Dad, wait here for a while and have a little rest. I’m going to prepare something to eat. You must be hungry after traveling all night. We’ll eat and talk afterwards." After hearing his mother’s words, Lin Feng felt incredibly warm. He quickly rose to prepare breakfast for his parents, realizing they probably hadn’t eaten yet.
Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen didn’t object to their son making breakfast; indeed, they were both tired and hungry from the night’s journey. It was the perfect opportunity for a short rest, so both sat down on the couch in the living room and closed their eyes.
Soon, Lin Feng had prepared breakfast, making some vegetable congee and a few simple side dishes that looked very appetizing. Then, he called his parents to come and eat.
"Mom and Dad, is everything in Lin Family Village taken care of?" Lin Feng casually inquired, having thought that they would only be delayed a few days, but it took them much longer to return.
"Yes! The Lin Family Village matter involved many aspects, and it was quite a feat to handle the main issues in such a short time. This was the result of the Shen Corporation’s active cooperation in many aspects. Otherwise, forget about coming back so soon, even getting things organized in a month would have been tough," said Lin Yiwen. Just thinking about handling the affairs in Lin Family Village gave him a headache. He, his wife, Lin Dongchen, and Liu Li had all been incredibly busy there, managing to resolve the main issues within such a short span. The remaining matters could be handled by Lin Dongchen and Liu Li, which allowed the two seniors to return to Tianhai.
"Son, we really owe a lot to the Shen Corporation for this time. Their professional team was incredibly efficient, and for any differences in the development plans for Lin Family Village that weren’t too significant, a simple negotiation was all it took to reach an agreement. We’ve never encountered such smooth negotiations before. This really saved us a lot of trouble. You should thank Miss Shen Yao when you have a chance," Zhang Lan said.
During the negotiations and coordination for the development, she could clearly sense that the Shen Corporation favored Lin Family Village. Normally, this wouldn’t be the case, which implied that someone had influenced the professional team sent by the Shen Corporation, and Lin Feng’s new girlfriend, Shen Yao, was undoubtedly that key person.
"There’s no need to thank her, she’s my girlfriend." Lin Feng thought for a moment; it was inevitable that his family would find out about Shen Yao sooner or later, so he might as well tell them now to avoid misunderstandings.
"I knew it! With such a big project in Lin Family Village, it was strange how readily the Shen Corporation agreed. Lin Feng, is Shen Yao pretty? Do you have a picture? Let mom take a look," said Zhang Lan, her face beaming with joy upon hearing her son declare Shen Yao as his girlfriend. It confirmed her suspicions, and even though she hadn’t yet seen Shen Yao, she trusted her son’s choice and was eager to see a photo.
"Son, when you have the chance, bring Shen Yao home for a visit, and make sure to bring her here to meet us. Don’t forget the proper etiquette," Lin Yiwen said, also quite pleased to hear about his son’s girlfriend, and he quickly urged Lin Feng to bring Shen Yao home for an introduction.
"Well, she’s still studying in Yuegang right now. I’ll bring her home when she has time to come to Tianhai," Lin Feng replied, somewhat at a loss for words upon hearing his father’s request. He knew that both of his parents were eager to meet Shen Yao, but she was currently in Yuegang, so they would have to wait until she visited Tianhai.
"Alright then, son, as soon as Shen Yao returns, you must bring her home immediately," said Zhang Lan, just as eager to meet Shen Yao. Understanding that Shen Yao was studying in Yuegang and nothing could be done at the moment, she resolved to wait for her eventual return to Tianhai to meet her.
