Felin laughed even more upon hearing this, "Sheng Fei, that's it then. Move to my place to live. It will be convenient for work as well, and besides, I have a two-bedroom apartment. We can each have our own room and won't affect each other at all."

Felin knew that Sheng Fei had always been a beautiful girl since childhood. After so many years, she must have blossomed into an even more stunning beauty. Having lusted after her for so long, Felin had already decided to pursue her, but unfortunately, he never received any encouragement in return. This time seeing the real deal was like encountering a goddess from heaven, yet Felin's acting skills were top-notch; he remained calm and composed without revealing his true intentions.

Before coming to Sheng Fei’s home this time, Felin had done extensive preparation beforehand. Not only did he send waves of family members, relatives, and matchmakers one after another to launch an offensive, but he also brought many gifts from the capital city, meticulously securing the support of all of Sheng Fei's relatives.

However, Felin’s intentions were clearly not beyond Sheng Fei’s notice. After years of working alone outside, Sheng Fei had developed very high standards. How could a man like Felin catch her eye As she was contemplating how to reject him, she unexpectedly found both her grandmother and mother laughing uncontrollably.

"Xiaofei, you see how thoughtful Lin is. Living with someone else would surely provide some mutual support," said the grandma with a smile: "For so many years, being alone without anyone to take care of you when you’re sick or injured, having company will at least not make it as lonely."

Hearing this, Sheng Fei looked at her grandmother in great surprise. She never expected that an illiterate old woman like her would say such insightful words today.

"How exactly should I refuse him"

Looking into Felin's hopeful eyes, Sheng Fei really couldn’t think of a good reason to refuse without disappointing her family or making Felin feel humiliated in public. She was already quite troubled by encountering such a situation within ten minutes of returning home.

"Well, Sheng Fei, I'll help you move this time when I return to the capital. You just drove back from there for more than ten hours; take a rest. I won't disturb your grandparents and auntie. It's rare for Sheng Fei to come home once, so you should spend some quality time together."

After saying that, Fei Lin stood up to leave.

"Oh no, how can that be Fei Lin, stay and have a meal with us. You haven't seen Sheng Fei for a long time; there must be much to talk about. Don’t go, I'll make the decision—I’ll call your mom over now."

Fei Lin smiled and said, "Auntie, it’s really not necessary, Sheng Fei just got back, so I won't disturb them."

As Fei Lin turned to leave, he saw Sheng Hao blocking the door, saying in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, you can’t go. You’re not leaving this house today anyway."

Fei Lin looked at Sheng Fei with some difficulty and was surprised that Sheng Fei didn't even lift his head to look.

Seeing Fei Lin’s expression, Sheng Hao continued: "Brother Lin, it's been ages since we last met. When we were kids, you used to take me out to play too. Even if we don’t chat with my sister, we should at least have a couple of drinks and catch up properly."

Fei Lin was delighted in his heart. Sheng Hao looked rather stupid, but he was actually quite astute; after receiving the belt and wallet set from Jin Lide’s store and just a slight hint, he produced this result—people really can't be judged by their appearance! This investment is definitely worthwhile.

"Sheng Fei has just returned home. Your family should spend some quality time together without me disturbing you. I'll visit another day since we’re neighbors." While calculating in his heart, he still maintained a modest demeanor.

"Alright, alright, we're family now. You can eat here with us; I'll be offended if you keep refusing," Shen Fei's mother has a quick temper and was getting impatient watching them pass the offer back and forth. She pretended to be annoyed but pulled Felin down to sit beside her. The term "family" made Felin feel on top of the world, thinking about how successful he had become in Beijing and that he even owned property there. Everyone in his hometown looked at him differently now, including Shen Fei’s family; these thoughts left him feeling very smug indeed.

Shen Fei couldn't help but chuckle inwardly when she saw the petty side of Felin showing through so clearly. If he knew that during this period before, Shen Fei was already one of the top ten shareholders in Lanhai, and her net worth would soon be over a hundred million, would he want to dig himself an underground hole to hide Seeing how happy his grandmother and mother were and how they exchanged glances from time to time, Shen Fei didn’t want to spoil their mood. She could just pretend to eat together with them since Beijing was so huge; she and Felin could each go back to their own lives after the meal.

Shen Fei rarely came home, and her mother naturally wanted to show off a bit for her daughter. Several aunts were busy in the kitchen as well. Seeing that Shen Fei didn’t seem interested in chatting with him, Felin was too embarrassed to be too forward, but he knew how much his two brothers, Sheng Qi and Sheng Hao, adored him; so they started chatting about his experiences of打拚 (struggling) in Beijing. Shen Fei slipped into the kitchen and although their home now was a small villa that had been renovated nicely enough, the layout of the kitchen still retained its rural style. What made her feel especially close to home was the stove—still the same wood-burning stove she’d used as a child, with an iron pot on top of it. Aunt Two was sitting in front of the stove feeding the fire while Shen Fei’s mother was waving around a large spatula frying vegetables; seeing this reminded Shen Fei of something that made her smile involuntarily.

"Aunt Two, let me have a go at this; I haven't helped my mom with chores in such a long time," thinking back to when she was young and how she used to sit on a little stool by the stove helping her mother add wood to it while she fried vegetables. This had been Shen Fei’s favorite chore—especially during winter, when her smiling face would turn rosy from the flames while her whole body felt warm and cozy; after she finished cooking, her mom would reward her with an unpeeled sweet potato that was cooked in the ashes of the firewood, so it’d be ready to eat by dinnertime.

Shen Fei’s mother looked at her grown-up daughter standing there seriously feeding wood into the stove as she used to do and couldn't help but feel emotional.

A whole table full of dishes and a lot of people; the atmosphere around the dining table was very lively, with Felin drinking toast with his two cousins while Shen Fei chatted happily about family matters with her grandmother and aunts. The long-awaited homey feeling filled Shen Fei’s heart with happiness.

"Xiaofei, you're not getting any younger; it's hard being a young woman out there on your own. No matter how important your job is, finding yourself a good partner should be more important. All sorts of people are out there in the big city—finding a boyfriend I’m worried about that. In my opinion, it’s best to find someone you know well, and preferably from our hometown where everyone will feel at ease. You two, for example; Felin and you would make a good match. If you two get together, I can live twenty years longer just to be able to take care of your kids," Grandmother Shen didn't allow anyone else to interject with her series of comments that brought Shen Fei back down to Earth. It was obvious she had done this on purpose and now used this method to try forcing her hand—this old lady really knew how to do things thoroughly.

"Grandma, I told you before; I’m very busy at work right now, my boss thinks highly of me and I just don't have the time or mind for dating yet. Maybe in a few years," Shen Fei blushed and tried to stay calm while talking to her grandmother but inwardly she was panicking—this was such an embarrassing situation with Felin here; what could she do

Felin smiled and said, "Actually, what Xiaofei said isn't wrong. Sometimes it’s just a bit exhausting doing everything on your own; if you have someone to help each other out, things can be easier.

Felin is very eloquent, and his grandparents and Sheng Mama are visibly pleased. After all, being able to buy a house in the capital city solely through one's own efforts within just a few years indeed makes him an outstanding man, far beyond what peers can achieve.

However, in Shen Fei's heart, Felin is merely an elementary school classmate at best, with no other thoughts. As for working together in the capital city, it’s something she never considers.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Shen Fei's mind, and she seemed to remember something. She smiled slightly and quickly took out her phone to send a text message secretly.

The content of the text message read: Wang Zheng, come save me urgently.

Hardly had the text been sent when Shen Fei heard car horns blaring at the gate. It turned out that the Maybach was there. Shen Fei's big eyes immediately lit up. The family knew in advance that one of Shen Fei’s good friends would be coming, so they quickly put down their chopsticks and went to the courtyard to welcome him.

Wang Zheng arrived with gifts in hand, standing at the door. Looking at the newly constructed villa, clearly less than three months old, a faint smile flickered across his lips. To上官詩詩's eyes, this smile was neither reassuring nor bitter; it was complex indeed.

In previous years, Wang Zheng had無數次驚醒於噩夢中，醒來總是大汗淋漓。老盛在最後時刻被一梭子子彈打成篩子的場麵依舊曆曆在目。可以說冇有老盛就冇有後來叱吒黑暗世界的東方邪王，更不會有今天的王錚，如果冇有老盛捨命相救恐怕龍鱗精華在最後一戰中就會全軍覆冇再無翻盤可能。

Old Sheng's choice at the last minute forged another Wang Zheng, and it also gave Long Lin an unextinguishable hope.

Perhaps only Old Sheng knew that only Wang Zheng could reunite Dragon Scale, no one had to sacrifice themselves but only Wang Zheng must survive.and Song Ziyè""How did you know that Song Ziyè also went to Ningxia" Wang Zheng asked somewhat surprisedly, of course without hiding his surprise.Song Ziyè deliberately approached him in Ningxia.
