Chapter 1448: Because I Want To
Chapter 1448: Because I Want To
Leaving the hotel, Ling Feng went straight back to Shiliu Village.
Once home, he washed up a bit, then lay down to get some sleep.
The day’s events were too unexpected, and he felt like he’d exhausted a lot of brain cells, so he wanted a good rest.
So he set his phone to silent mode, tossed it aside, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Without speaking a word all night, Ling Feng woke up naturally the next morning.
The first thing he did upon waking was to immediately check his phone.
Seeing that no one had called him, he finally relaxed.
He got up, dressed, washed up, and pondered what he should do today, when suddenly the phone rang.
Seeing that it was Mo Jiaolan calling, Ling Feng answered and asked, "Is something going on?"
"Nothing serious, just that Miss Catherine specifically wants you to accompany her to check out Shiliu Village!" Mo Jiaolan said.
Ling Feng was taken aback, then helplessly shook his head: "What’s with this woman sticking to me?"
"Probably has something to do with the alliance. Last night she shared her thoughts with us and still wants to form an alliance between Holy Light Society and you!" Mo Jiaolan replied.
"Still not giving up?"
Ling Feng widened his eyes, then asked, "Do you have any thoughts on it?"
"I don’t, you can decide on your own." Mo Jiaolan said.
Ling Feng chuckled wryly: "A bit of advice would be helpful!"
"Well, I think as long as you don’t lose national dignity, don’t do something against conscience, and there’s something to gain, you have no reason to refuse!"
Mo Jiaolan said, then laughed: "Of course, that’s from a businessman’s perspective, you don’t have to take it into consideration!"
"Alright, I got it."
Ling Feng nodded, then said: "Have Catherine wait at the hotel, I’ll drive over to pick her up in a bit!"
"Okay!"
Mo Jiaolan replied, then hung up.
Ling Feng tidied up at home, then drove his sturdy vehicle to the county town.
Upon arrival, he went upstairs to the room door; Catherine was already dressed and waiting.
Today she changed into a new outfit, this time a black sweater, with a cape outside, still wearing jeans, but her shoes had changed to knee-high boots!
The outfit was bold and full of style.
Moreover, her shoes were high-heeled, standing together, she was almost taller than Ling Feng.
"You’re early, Ling. I’m all set; let’s head out!"
Seeing Ling Feng, she chuckled lightly and stepped out through the door.
Ling Feng followed her, and the two went downstairs and got into the car.
"This car is pretty nice; it’s my kind of type!"
Catherine glanced around the interior decorations, praising as she spoke.
Ling Feng didn’t say much, started the car, and headed straight for Shiliu Village.
Driving along the road, Catherine suddenly asked, "By the way, Ling, there’s something I’d like to ask you."
"Go ahead." Ling Feng kept his face straight, eyes firmly on the road ahead.
"Do you know someone by the name of Dick?" Catherine inquired.
Ling Feng was stunned, thinking that the moment he’d feared had come!
He turned to glance at Catherine: "Yes, why do you ask?"
"Has he visited your place recently?" Catherine followed up.
"Well, I’m not sure why you’re asking this. Do you have some kind of grievance with Dick?" Ling Feng didn’t answer directly; he changed the subject.
Catherine looked at him and shook her head: "Not really a grievance, I’m just very interested in his identity and have been trying to trace him, but every time I’m about to catch him, he escapes!"
"Is that so? Just like those few times between us, right?" Ling Feng asked with a laugh.
Catherine was taken aback, then nodded: "That’s right, pretty similar!"
After that, she continued: "You still haven’t answered my question!"
"Oh, sorry, I can’t tell you that. I have some dealings with Dick, so I must be responsible for him!" Ling Feng replied earnestly.
Catherine looked at him: "What if I tell you that this person’s identity is very special, and catching him could lead to unexpected gains?"
"I’m not interested. A gentleman seeks wealth through honorable means; I won’t abandon friendship for profit!" Ling Feng responded sincerely.
"Alright then!"
Upon hearing this, Catherine sighed and didn’t say more.
After a while, she couldn’t resist and turned to Ling Feng: "Yesterday’s President Mo and President Chen, are they your girlfriends?"
Ling Feng didn’t look at her: "Why do you ask?"
"The way they look at you is different; it’s quite obvious!" Catherine noted.
"Oh, if you’ve noticed, you’ve noticed. Why bother to confirm with me?" Ling Feng glanced at her askance: "And even if I tell you, what does it matter?"
"Nothing, just satisfying my gossip curiosity, who’d have thought Ling is quite the charmer!" Catherine remarked.
Ling Feng chuckled inwardly, thinking this was just the beginning; if she saw Ling Yao and Yu Linglong, she’d be dumbfounded!
Chatting idly this way, the car quickly made its way back to Shiliu Village.
Just entering the village entrance, as they saw several buildings at the foot of the mountain, Catherine’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she asked, "What’s that place?"
"That’s our village’s residential buildings!"
Ling Feng looked at her: "What? Did you think that the villages in Huaxia are still low mud huts, broken and shabby?"
Catherine chuckled and nodded: "Don’t be mad; that really was my impression!"
"That’s just media misleading you. While you’re in Huaxia, why not explore more? We’re not like decades ago!" Ling Feng scoffed.
They entered the village, and after parking, Ling Feng looked at Catherine: "This is my home, do you want to sit inside first or take a walk around the village?"
"Let’s do both!"
Catherine replied, pushed the car door open, and with her long legs, stepped into Ling Feng’s house.
Upon entering, she took a look around. When Ling Feng came in as well, Catherine turned to him: "Why are you living in such a low bungalow?"
"Because I want to!"
Ling Feng didn’t bother to explain much, then said: "Feels comfortable, I live however I want!"
Catherine didn’t mind his attitude and smiled: "You have personality, well said."
Seeing she had no inclination to leave, Ling Feng brewed a pot of tea. Even if one doesn’t like it, he couldn’t be too blunt; the usual courtesy should still be observed.
Unexpectedly, just as the tea was ready and Catherine had yet to take a sip, a flash of white light appeared in the room, and Yang Guang, with ear-length short hair, suddenly teleported in!
As their eyes met, the little girl looked puzzled, glanced at Ling Feng in confusion: "Uncle, another new girl?"
