Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 544: Move Aside, Third Wheel

"That’s good, I was worried something might go wrong since I feel like Yuan Kun was exaggerating a bit, how could making money be that easy." When Lin Feng said this, Leng Mei finally felt relieved. Lin Feng had given considerable thought before doing this, but now Leng Mei was a bit puzzled about what Lin Feng was really thinking. Knowing the risks involved, he still signed the power of attorney over to Yuan Kun, and even gave him his ID card afterward. This... what’s going on exactly?"

"Are you wondering why I gave the power of attorney and ID card to Yuan Kun?" While driving, Lin Feng glanced at Leng Mei using the corner of his eye and, seeing that her brows were still furrowed, guessed what she was thinking. He then asked in a very warm tone.

"That’s right." Leng Mei responded, not surprised that Lin Feng guessed her thoughts; such occurrences weren’t rare between them. But she really wanted to know why Lin Feng would hand over something so risky to Yuan Kun. Normally, people wouldn’t easily give such things to others.

"I did it on purpose. I wanted to see if the outcome would be as I expected. You don’t need to worry about anything. I have everything under control," Lin Feng said calmly, wanting to reassure Leng Mei so she would stop fretting over this.

"Alright, if you say so then I’m reassured." Having heard Lin Feng, Leng Mei was completely at ease. Lin Feng had been prepared all along, so she didn’t need to worry about him. As for Lin Feng’s reasons, Leng Mei didn’t care anymore; she believed that he had his own reasons for doing so. As Lin Feng’s woman, all she needed to concern herself with was his well-being, and she didn’t want to interfere with the rest.

"By the way, Leng Mei, how about we go to the night market for a late-night snack? I’ve heard that there are many delicacies at the night market, and I’ve never tried them before. Shall we go take a look?" Seeing that Leng Mei had finally relaxed, Lin Feng shifted his thoughts and suggested with a smile that they visit the night market for a late-night snack. He had been with Leng Mei for a long time but had never accompanied her on a shopping trip, which made him feel a bit guilty. This was a great opportunity, especially since Capital City’s snacks are famous nationwide.

"Sounds great! I haven’t been there in so long. Come on, let me show you the way." Leng Mei’s eyes lit up at Lin Feng’s suggestion. She realized that she had never gone out with Lin Feng just the two of them since they met. The thought of strolling in the night market together tonight filled her with unprecedented joy. Just the thought made Leng Mei happy.

So, Leng Mei happily agreed to Lin Feng’s great suggestion. It wasn’t late, and the springtime weather was perfect for visiting the night market. It had been many years since she last wandered around a night market, and she was eager to go again, especially with Lin Feng by her side. How could she not be delighted!

"Then it’s settled." Seeing that Leng Mei was eager to go, Lin Feng was happy too. It seemed they both liked the idea. He glanced at Leng Mei, collected his thoughts, and continued to focus on his driving.

Leng Mei felt the warmth in Lin Feng’s gaze and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She quickly started giving him directions, and with her guidance, they soon arrived at Capital City’s largest and most bustling night market, Wangjing Night Market!

After parking the car in a parking lot, Leng Mei and Lin Feng got out of the car. But before they had taken a few steps, Leng Hao, who had been following behind, caught up to them. It puzzled Leng Hao why his sister and Lin Feng didn’t head home but instead went to the night market.

"Sister, why did you come to the night market?" Leng Hao quickened his pace, walked up beside Lin Feng and Leng Mei, and asked directly. At first, he thought his sister and Lin Feng were heading home, but he hadn’t expected them to end up at the night market. What were they doing there?

"Lin Feng and I decided to wander around the night market and have some late-night snacks," Leng Mei replied upon seeing her brother catch up. She had been so engrossed in her conversation with Lin Feng in the car that she forgot about her brother, so she explained briefly.

"Alright then, I’ll join you guys." Once Leng Hao heard this, he immediately understood. Lin Feng wanted to spend time alone with his sister at the night market, which he wouldn’t allow. Seeing Lin Feng now, he couldn’t help but view him unfavorably, not wanting to let Lin Feng be alone with his sister. In case something did happen between Lin Feng and his sister, he as a brother, would have let his sister be deceived. So he was determined not to let this pretty boy, Lin Feng, spend time alone with his sister.

Leng Hao was resolved to separate Lin Feng from his sister. He deeply disliked Lin Feng and firmly believed that Lin Feng was nothing but an out-of-season playboy aiming to climb onto the Leng Family’s coattails.

"What business is it of yours to follow us? Scram, third wheel," Lin Feng said, not mincing his words to Leng Hao. He clearly understood Leng Hao’s intentions. Today, when Leng Mei wasn’t in the best of moods, he had planned to comfort her. How could he let Leng Hao tag along? Besides, the opportunity for him to shop with Leng Mei was too rare to let Leng Hao, this glaringly obvious third wheel, disrupt their time together. Lin Feng wouldn’t allow such an interruption.

"You... what did you say?" Leng Hao never expected Lin Feng, who always appeared refined and cultured, to suddenly speak like this. His words choked Leng Hao, and what was more, Lin Feng wasn’t wrong. He couldn’t find words to refute. Just the fact that Lin Feng and elder sister were shopping alone suggested a special relationship. He had never heard of his sister doing such a thing with any man before. Butting in at this time would clearly make him the third wheel.

However, Leng Hao didn’t care about that. What mattered to him was that Lin Feng dared to be so blunt with him, especially in front of his sister. How could this not infuriate him? Truth be told, no one in the Leng Family had ever spoken to him with such tone. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Who didn’t respect him? And yet, here was Lin Feng, not giving face at all, bluntly scolding him. Who did Lin Feng think he was, a pretty boy telling him off like this!

Thinking of this, Leng Hao became enraged. His face turned red as he stared at Lin Feng, his body tensed, and he spoke viciously to Lin Feng. He also made up his mind that if Lin Feng said any more offensive words, he would teach this ignorant pretty boy a lesson right there and then, making his sister see for herself what kind of person this Xiao Bai really was!

"I told you to get lost." Lin Feng’s tone remained calm, betraying no emotion as he commanded Leng Hao to leave.

"How could I possibly leave? I must ensure my sister’s safety. Today... tonight after offending Zeng Xiaolong, what if they come and endanger my sister? With me here, I can fend them off. Without me, my sister could be in real danger. What are you? A French teacher like you couldn’t possibly protect my sister!"

Leng Hao grew even angrier upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. Who was Lin Feng to tell him to leave? Did Lin Feng really want to get intimate with his sister, to get rid of him? No, that definitely could not happen. He absolutely couldn’t let Lin Feng be alone with his sister. With that in mind, he grew even more determined to follow them, and he even came up with a somewhat reasonable excuse so that his sister wouldn’t dislike his intrusion. He thought, with such an excuse, let’s see what else Lin Feng could possibly say.

Plus, if he was around, he could find opportunities to expose Lin Feng’s true colors as a pretty boy. He couldn’t believe Lin Feng could cover up his deceit forever. If Lin Feng dared to make a move on his sister, he would cripple him. With these thoughts, Leng Hao glared at Lin Feng with full of resentment, firmly categorizing Lin Feng as a shameless pretty boy, determined to protect his sister from being wronged.

"Little brother, you should go back. It’s fine for me and Lin Feng to shop together. Besides, if anything happens, Lin Feng can handle it. He’s a lot more capable than you. Stop worrying about us. Okay, we are going in, and you shouldn’t follow us anymore."

Seeing her brother behaving this way, Leng Mei knew he meant well, but she didn’t want him tagging along, as it would ruin her alone time with Lin Feng. She didn’t want this to happen, but she also understood it was out of concern for her. With a smile at Leng Hao, she indicated that she wasn’t worried about her safety with Lin Feng present. Confident in her security, Leng Mei casually linked her arm with Lin Feng’s, and the two of them headed to Wangjing Night Market together, leaving Leng Hao behind, dumbfounded.

What... what!

His sister... she actually smiled!

How is this possible! How is this possible!

Seeing his sister’s smile, Leng Hao froze completely. Although it was a faint and brief smile, he knew he hadn’t seen incorrectly, and the smile was genuinely heartfelt. Since Leng Hao could remember, his sister had always been cold and expressionless, never smiling. Today... today she actually smiled. What on earth was going on?

Her personality had always seemed icy, and though she was good to him even in the minor details of life, he had never seen her smile, even in his tenderest moments with her. And today, breaking precedent, his sister smiled and, in front of him, happily linked her arm with Lin Feng’s and wandered off to the night market, insisting he shouldn’t follow. What was going on? She’d never behaved like this with any man before!

Moreover, with Lin Feng calling him a third wheel, Leng Hao, though not the brightest, now understood that Lin Feng and his sister were truly together as a couple. Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t have said that, and his sister wouldn’t have acted as she did. However, Leng Hao was utterly baffled about what Lin Feng had to make his sister, always so elusive, fall for him. A washed-up wealthy scion, a French teacher, how could he be more attractive than all the other suitors pursuing his sister? What was the reason for this!
