Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 649 I Forgot to Drink

Although Ye Xiangqian was thinking so much inside, he didn’t show it at all on the surface, he was all smiles with Lin Feng, and hurriedly indicated for Lin Feng to order dishes. Just like Mao Dawang, he too hoped that through this meal, he could mollify his two daughters. If they could leave happy, that would be the best outcome. Hence, it was crucial to keep Lin Feng well entertained at today’s banquet and to ensure Lin Feng had a good time. That would trump everything else.

"I won’t order, anything is fine, we should follow the host’s lead," Lin Feng said indifferently, pushing the menu toward Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian. For Lin Feng, what he ate really didn’t matter. He had come for this meal just to reassure the two school beauties. As long as that goal was achieved, that was all that mattered.

"Alright then, I won’t be polite," after hearing Lin Feng say this, Mao Dawang knew it was useless to insist. Since that was the case, he would be the one to order. Thinking this, he picked up the menu and flipped through it quickly.

"This abalone, two servings per person, please."

"Australian lobsters, let’s have two!"

"Hokkaido beef brisket is nice, bring two plates of that."

...

Mao Dawang didn’t hold back at all. Since they were inviting Lin Feng for a meal and also had to uphold the dignity of his two daughters, naturally he would order whatever was good. In no time, he had ordered a table full of exquisite delicacies, all in double portions. Had the two daughters not intervened to say it was enough, he would have continued ordering.

"For drinks, let’s start with four bottles of the most expensive white spirit in your restaurant, and then one bottle of the most expensive red wine you have. That’s it, and make sure it’s quick!" Mao Dawang, having finished ordering, closed the menu and gestured for the waiter to go and place the orders.

"Dad, why did you order so much alcohol?" Mao Rongrong’s face had already turned sour when she heard Mao Dawang ordering. She was speechless about her father’s approach. It was bad enough ordering luxurious food, and even worse ordering double portions. Only her father would do something so extravagant. And when she heard her father order four bottles of white spirits in one go, she couldn’t help herself anymore. Such a banquet was meant to be an apology to Teacher Lin, and ordering so much alcohol was going to get Teacher Lin drunk – this was unacceptable!

"Exactly, that’s four bottles of white spirits, it’s too much," Xiaoyu couldn’t help interjecting. Four bottles of white spirits were indeed too much. Since she and Sister Rongrong couldn’t drink white spirits, it meant that the elderly gentlemen would have to consume one bottle each on average. That... that was really too much. If Teacher Lin ended up drunk, that would be terrible!

"Girls, men should drink heartily. Don’t worry, with your two dads here, we definitely won’t let Teacher Lin drink too much. Haha, isn’t that right, Xiangqian?" Mao Dawang, hearing his daughters express concern, knew they were worried about Lin Feng, but in his heart, he wasn’t worried at all.

"Of course, you two don’t need to worry. We’re all so happy today, and it’s rare for Teacher Lin to find the time to come out for a meal. Four bottles aren’t too much at all. Don’t fret over Teacher Lin," Ye Xiangqian also said with a laugh after hearing the girls’ comments. He took a couple of puffs from his cigar, thinking that the two girls seemed to really fancy Lin Feng. The girls had hardly begun to interact and were already speaking up for Lin Feng – this was not a good sign!

Thinking this, Ye Xiangqian’s anxiety grew. He was actually happy that his daughter could find someone she liked, but the problem was that Lin Feng was engaged to be married. This was a real headache, and what made matters worse was that if it had been just one daughter who had taken a liking to him, the situation might have been simpler. But now, both daughters were smitten with Lin Feng – what to do now?

However, Ye Xiangqian knew he couldn’t speak these thoughts out loud, or else the two girls would definitely fight him tooth and nail. So on the surface, he didn’t show any sign of discomfort, still laughing jovially, but inwardly he sighed. Well, he would just have to let things take their course. There would be a way out when they got there. If push came to shove, they would have to call in the two ferocious "tigers" at home – the dads were out of options.

"Teacher Lin, feel free to drink as little as you want, don’t be swayed by our pompous dads. They always end up drunk when they drink outside; don’t take them too seriously," Xiaoyu said, slightly exasperated by her fathers’ statements. She didn’t want Lin Feng, who had only come for a dinner, to end up drunk.

"Teacher Lin, it’s fine to drink less," Rongrong added softly, speaking up after hearing her fathers. She already anticipated that her dads wanted to get Lin Feng drunk, so she gave them a fierce glare and thought, weren’t they supposed to apologize today? Why did they insist on drinking so much? No way could she let her fathers get Teacher Lin drunk; that would be bad. With that in mind, Rongrong hurriedly signaled to Lin Feng, hoping he wouldn’t drink too much.

"No worries," Lin Feng said lightly, looking at the two amusing fathers and the school beauties. He wasn’t at all surprised by the fathers’ antics. It would have been abnormal for them not to act like this. He was even more nonchalant about drinking – he had never gotten drunk before. So he indicated to the school beauties that they didn’t need to worry about him.

Huang Shi, listening from the side, didn’t say anything, but he was quietly amused. He knew the Boss’s capacity for alcohol all too well – much stronger than ordinary people, he had never gotten drunk before. Not four bottles, nor even ten, would pose a problem. It seemed today’s enthusiastic dads were in for some embarrassment. Thinking this, Huang Shi couldn’t help but laugh.

"I knew it, Teacher Lin is a forthright person!"

"Yeah, that’s what I feel too. Girls, don’t be so nervous about Teacher Lin."

"Uncles, you both must have a great time later!"

"Huang Shi, don’t you worry, we’ll take good care of you and Teacher Lin for sure!"

"No one is allowed to drink too much!"

"..."

...

Seeing Lin Feng’s positive response, the two jokers were immediately reassured. Lin Feng’s attitude indicated that he wasn’t angry about the incident that occurred that night. With this in mind, the two girls wouldn’t be angry either, and everything else would be easy to handle. Thinking this, the two jokers started to liven up the atmosphere, chatting with Lin Feng, Huang Shi, and the two girls.

Soon after, the table was full of dishes, and the wine was served. Mao Dawang gestured for the waitstaff to leave with a wave of his hand, and the banquet officially began.

"Teacher Lin, this first glass of wine is for you. Please, don’t take that night’s incident to heart. Ye Xiangqian and I, we’re just simple folk and we don’t know what got into our heads when we caused such a mess. Consider this glass of wine as our apology to you."

Mao Dawang personally got up and poured a glass of wine for Lin Feng, speaking with sincerity. Today’s banquet was set up at the girls’ request, and they specifically wanted their fathers to formally apologize to Lin Feng. Of course, they had to do it, otherwise, if the girls got upset again, the two of them wouldn’t know what to do.

"Just you won’t do; this glass, we both should offer together. Teacher Lin, your lordship should not be bothered by the offenses of us lesser men. We two big lugs aren’t good with words, but to put it simply, if you respect us, then let’s drink this together!"

Ye Xiangqian, seeing Mao Dawang leave his seat to approach Lin Feng, immediately understood the situation and hurried over to Lin Feng’s side to join Mao Dawang in the toast. Truth be told, he was also embarrassed about the incident that night. Had they known beforehand what kind of person Lin Feng was, they would never have acted as they did, and wouldn’t have upset the two girls so much. Today was a good opportunity to apologize to Lin Feng and ease the girls’ worries.

"I forgot, cheers." Lin Feng said casually. He genuinely didn’t mind what had happened that night. Seeing the two old jokers’ sincere enthusiasm, he drank down the wine in his glass, indicating that the incident was truly behind them.

"Wonderful!"

"Teacher Lin is so straightforward!"

Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian were even more delighted to hear Lin Feng speak like that and watched as he downed a glass of liquor. They didn’t expect Lin Feng to be so forthcoming and found his attitude really suited their temperament. Seeing this, Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian glanced at each other and then also finished off their glasses of wine!

After drinking the wine, Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian returned to their seats and started to urge Lin Feng to eat.

"Teacher Lin, let bygones be bygones. You really are a straightforward person, which is great! Have some food, have some food! Rongrong, serve Teacher Lin some dishes, pour him some wine!" Mao Dawang’s face was full of smiles, and he was genuinely surprised at how simply Lin Feng let the issue go. He felt it was for the best that it was behind them. Now, they were left with only happy matters to attend to. Today, in honor of Lin Feng’s straightforwardness, Mao Dawang was determined to keep Lin Feng company no matter what, to make sure he was well taken care of!

With this thought, Mao Dawang’s spirit soared, and he immediately instructed his daughter Mao Rongrong to serve Lin Feng food and pour him wine. Things were going smoothly from the start, and he resolved to drink a bit more today. With Lin Feng happy, the two girls would be happy, and if the girls were happy, he would have good days ahead — Mao Dawang understood this logic all too well.

"Teacher Lin, have some dishes." Mao Rongrong, following her father’s instructions, swiftly served Lin Feng some food. Seeing how Lin Feng had so crisply downed his drink earlier made Mao Rongrong very happy. She could tell that Teacher Lin had genuinely put that disgraceful incident behind him and wouldn’t hold it against her two fathers anymore. The heavy stone in her heart had finally fallen. Now that things had worked out this way, all that was left was to happily enjoy the banquet.

After pouring a glass of wine for Lin Feng and observing his calm and composed demeanor, Mao Rongrong felt her heart start to flutter, and a blush slowly crept over her face...
