Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 592: Time to Go Back (Second Update)

"Boss, the International University Exchange Summit is going to take place in Yuegang in over ten days. If we can bring this mega-event to South Korea and then send an invitation to Yingbo University, Ding Wan’er, as the president, must attend," Jin Ze quickly explained his idea, which seemed to be the best approach at the moment.

"Hmm, that’s a great idea, I’ll handle the specifics," Cui Jinhao said with a smile creeping onto his face upon hearing Jin Ze’s suggestion, feeling extremely pleased. Bringing the event to H Country wouldn’t be a difficult task for him. As Jin Ze said, Ding Wan’er, being the president, would be obligated to participate in such an activity. This meant he could continue to pursue Ding Wan’er...

Lin Feng stayed in his room for a while, tinkered with Leng Hao’s computer, and was getting ready to look for Leng Mei. But before he could get up, he received a phone call. Seeing the caller ID, he answered the call without hesitation.

"Hello, Brother Lin Feng, why have you disappeared for so many days?" Lin Jie’s voice came through the phone, soft and weak, tinged with a touch of grievance.

These days, Lin Jie had missed Lin Feng terribly. Several times she went to Yingbo University hoping to see him, but never succeeded. She had thought about calling him but then decided against it, rationalizing that if Lin Feng had nothing important, he wouldn’t leave the school for such a long time. Since he was busy with work, she didn’t want to disturb him. But to Lin Jie’s surprise, Lin Feng had been missing for such a long time. This morning she couldn’t bear it any longer and finally called him; otherwise, she felt she might go crazy.

The call connected, and a weight lifted from Lin Jie’s heart, indicating that nothing had happened to Lin Feng. Now that she knew he was okay, her curiosity peaked. What could have happened that made Lin Feng disappear for so long? And... why hadn’t he even called her once during this time? What... what exactly had occurred?

"Lin Jie, have you been well recently? I’ve been quite busy. First, I spent over half a month in Nanyun Province on business, then I came to Capital City to treat someone. I’m planning to take a flight back to Tianhai this afternoon," Lin Feng said, understanding the situation immediately upon hearing Lin Jie’s voice. No doubt she was missing him. He admitted to himself that he had been remiss, not even calling Lin Jie for so long. Lin Jie was a good girl who had confessed her feelings for him, and it was indeed an oversight on his part.

With that thought, he quickly summarized the events of the recent period, but deliberately didn’t elaborate on his activities in Nanyun Province to avoid worrying Lin Jie. She was such an innocent girl; it was better that she didn’t know those things.

"Lin Jie, I should be able to get back to Tianhai tonight. How about we find some time in the next couple of days to have dinner together?" He thought for a moment and decided to make up for his omission. He really should spend some time with Lin Jie, have a good chat, and make up for his recent neglect.

"Sure, let’s talk about it when you’re back. I won’t keep you from your work now, goodbye Brother Lin Feng. Call me when you’re free; I’m not in a hurry," Lin Jie replied, relieved by what Lin Feng said. It seemed Brother Lin Feng still cared for her after all. It was just that he had been too busy recently and forgotten everything else. With this realization, she suddenly felt her call was too abrupt—was Brother Lin Feng still busy?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jie decided it would be better to talk when Lin Feng was back in Tianhai. So, she asked him to hang up the call. Everything would be clear when Lin Feng returned to Tianhai; there was no need to continue the conversation now. She wanted to talk to Lin Feng, but reason dictated she couldn’t do that. She didn’t want to delay him further as she believed the woman for Brother Lin Feng needed to be sensible, not to hinder him with romantic entanglements.

"Alright then, I’ll get in touch with you after I’m back in Tianhai. Take care of yourself, okay?" Lin Feng said, pleased with Lin Jie’s thoughtful response. She truly was an understanding girl, hard to come by nowadays, so he added a caring comment, not as a formality but from the heart.

"Okay, I’ll take good care of myself, don’t worry Brother Lin Feng. I have to go to class soon. We’ll chat more after you’re back. Bye." Lin Jie’s cheeks flushed with Lin Feng’s concern, quickly ending the call with her heart feeling warm. Brother Lin Feng’s words proved that she held a special place in his heart, and she could tell that he meant what he said, making her exceptionally happy.

Now, Lin Jie felt incredibly joyful; Brother Lin Feng was about to return to Tianhai. When she found the chance to speak with him and spend some time together, how wonderful that would be. As she thought, her cheeks flushed with a bashful smile, humming a tune cheerfully, she skipped towards the classroom, ready to start another day of lessons.

Lin Feng chuckled upon hearing the dial tone, left the room, and went to look for Leng Mei. He planned to conduct final check-ups for Meng Ping and Leng Hui, have a chat, and then it would be time to leave Capital City.

When he reached Leng Mei’s room, he knocked on the door, and after Leng Mei opened it, he stepped inside.

"Why does the setup here look exactly the same as in Tianhai?" Lin Feng noticed something as he entered the room. Leng Mei’s room was arranged just like his place in Tianhai, which he found strange and casually remarked upon.

"Actually, the setup is the same back in Tianhai as it is here. I’m a bit of a homebody, and I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings," Leng Mei said with a faint smile, offering an explanation to Lin Feng. This was simply her habit and nothing significant really.

"Are you all packed?" Lin Feng asked Leng Mei. They were due to return to Tianhai that afternoon, and if Leng Mei still had things to do, he would go alone to give the two elders their follow-up checkups.

"Mhm, I didn’t bring much with me to begin with. Going back, I’m just taking some local specialties for Wan’er and Duoduo. There’s nothing much to pack. Oh, and I’ve also brought gifts for your senior sister and uncle and aunt," Leng Mei replied to Lin Feng. However, when she mentioned preparing something for Lin Feng’s parents, she became slightly shy and unnatural, even though she concealed it well, her heart still thumped twice.

"That’s good. Come with me for Elder Meng and your grandfather’s final checkup, we’ll have a chat, and then it’s time to leave," Lin Feng said upon hearing that Leng Mei was ready, sticking to his original plan to take Leng Mei for the elders’ follow-up.

"Okay, let’s go," Leng Mei agreed immediately upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, and naturally took his arm. The two of them left the room and walked towards the living room.

Upon entering the living room, they saw both elders chatting and laughing together; the guard was standing at a distance, and Leng Hao was accompanying the two older men. Seeing Leng Hao acting like that surprised Leng Mei greatly; her brother had never behaved like this before, and if nothing was amiss, all this was Lin Feng’s doing. She felt a wave of emotion, thinking how wonderful it was to have Lin Feng!

"Lin Feng is here, come and sit down."

"You two, come and sit down."

The two elders beamed with joy when they saw Leng Mei walking arm in arm with Lin Feng, and they quickly gestured for them to take a seat. To the elders, Lin Feng and Leng Mei were a match made in heaven, a perfect pair. Besides, the famously cold beauty of Capital City, who no man could approach within a meter, was now linking arms with Lin Feng. What this implied was more than obvious, making the elders even happier.

"Brother Lin, sister, come sit over here," Leng Hao got up to offer his seat to his sister and Lin Feng when he saw them. He walked over and stood by the two elders, with a beaming smile on his face. Seeing Lin Feng and his sister together filled him with envy. The more he looked at them, the more suitable they seemed as a pair. He used to worry about his sister’s marital prospects, but all those concerns had vanished since Lin Feng appeared, and Lin Feng was the only one who could truly match his sister.

Lin Feng and Leng Mei sat down, looking perfectly at ease amidst the family members, who were all intimately close—there was no need for formality.

"Elder Leng, Elder Meng, before we leave, I thought I’d give you both another checkup, and then we’ll be heading off," Lin Feng spoke to the two smiling elders, happy himself. Happy events invigorate the spirit, and this is especially true for elder people; thus, he mentioned the follow-up checkup with a light smile.

"Sure!"

"No problem!"

Hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, the two elders agreed without a second thought, having already been checked by Lin Feng the day before. Lin Feng’s request for another checkup indicated he wanted to leave with peace of mind. With that in mind, they saw no need for further discussion. The two waved Lin Feng over to re-examine them.

Lin Feng approached and took hold of the offered hands of the two elders, promptly beginning a careful checkup. Since he didn’t know how long it would be before he could return to Capital City, it was best to take care of things now, to avoid the hassle of coming back in case of any issues.

Seeing Lin Feng conducting the checkup for the elders, Leng Hao said nothing. He quietly left the living room, soon returned with a large bowl filled with various fruits, and carefully placed it down so as not to make any noise that might disturb Lin Feng. After ensuring everything was in order, he stood beside Leng Mei.
