Chapter 545: Keep Pretending, Go On!
Seeing that Chen Qingyan was about to leave with Lin Fengmian, Luo Jinfeng struggled with all his might.
His face turned red with exertion, but no surge of primal power emerged. He remained firmly pinned down by Elder Ming.
“Don’t worry about me, don’t go with him!”
“Jun Wuxie, as long as you let her go, I’ll do anything for you!”
Lin Fengmian stood there watching the scene unfold and realized that he had truly become the villain who bullied men and oppressed women.
He pointed at Luo Jinfeng and raised an eyebrow as he asked Chen Qingyan, “Senior Sister Chen, are you two close?”
Could it be that Chen Chaoyan and Luo Jinfeng had a deep relationship with each other?
But Chen Chaoyan’s profile hadn’t mentioned this before!
Chen Qingyan shook her head. “I’m not close to him. I just don’t want to get others involved.”
Luo Jinfeng, who had been struggling fiercely, froze. Even Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for him.
“Seeing how dramatic this is, I thought I was breaking up a loving couple.”
As Chen Qingyan walked toward Lin Fengmian, Luo Jinfeng shouted hoarsely, “Senior Sister Chen, you’re sending yourself into the tiger’s den!”
Seeing Luo Jinfeng’s heartbroken expression, Chen Qingyan helplessly turned around. “Junior Brother Luo, this is my matter!”
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “Such self-importance!”
Chen Qingyan also shook her head, finding the situation both amusing and exasperating.
“Don’t mind him. Let’s go.”
Hearing this, You Yao immediately glared at Lin Fengmian with a murderous look and clenched her teeth.
This guy had said that he was here to find Ye Yingying, which was why she had followed him.
But it turns out he was openly building a bridge while secretly crossing through the shadows?
If he really tried to do something to Chen Qingyan, should she obey him or not?
She had promised Chen Qingyan, and if it weren’t for her, Chen Qingyan wouldn’t have agreed to that bet.
She absolutely couldn’t let this scoundrel ruin Chen Qingyan!
If he really wanted someone to sleep with him, couldn’t she just do it herself?
Feeling You Yao’s murderous gaze, Lin Fengmian found himself in a difficult position!
He awkwardly sent a voice transmission to Chen Qingyan, “Senior Sister Chen, I’m actually not here for you. I’m here to find Ye Yingying.”
Chen Qingyan was stunned. Had she been overthinking things?
She felt the same kind of embarrassment and social death that Luo Jinfeng had experienced.
She had stepped forward in front of everyone, only to find out that he wasn’t here for her!
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to die, unsure of how to save her face.
Chen Qingyan could only awkwardly reply via voice transmission, “Ye Yingying… she’s out… I…”
Seeing the blush on Chen Qingyan’s face that even her veil couldn’t hide, Lin Fengmian could feel her discomfort.
“Since Ye Yingying isn’t here, Senior Sister Chen, come with me for now. We’ll talk outside.”
Chen Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded almost imperceptibly, just wanting to escape the situation.
“When Ye Yingying returns, tell her to come to my residence. I have important business with her!”
After saying this, Lin Fengmian gestured politely, “Senior Sister, after you!”
Chen Qingyan gave a soft “Mm” and walked out first, with Lin Fengmian helping her into the carriage waiting at the door.
Meanwhile, Luo Jinfeng was still shouting and raging as if Lin Fengmian had stolen his woman.
You Yao grabbed Lin Fengmian who was about to board the carriage and warned, “You’re not allowed to do anything to her!”
Lin Fengmian chuckled. “She’s the one who came willingly, right? I didn’t threaten her.”
Chen Qingyan nodded. “Master, don’t worry. I’ll be fine!”
Lin Fengmian smiled and got into the carriage, casually saying, “Yao Yao, what are you standing around for? Let’s go!”
You Yao gritted her teeth in frustration and whipped the beast pulling the carriage as if she was whipping Lin Fengmian.
Inside the carriage, Lin Fengmian activated a soundproofing array, isolating them from the outside noise.
He looked at Chen Qingyan sitting next to him and couldn’t help but laugh.
Senior Sister Chen usually seemed cold and aloof, but she often surprised him with her bold actions and adorable little habits.
Like the time she had pretended to moan to tease Liu Mei and the others while sharing a bed with him.
Chen Qingyan glared at him. “Still laughing? You almost made me die of embarrassment!”
Lin Fengmian teased, “It’s Chen Chaoyan who should be embarrassed, not you, Chen Qingyan. What are you afraid of?”
“But I was the one who stood there embarrassed!”
Chen Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and asked warily, “Do you really plan to do something to Ye Yingying?”
Lin Fengmian waved his hand. “I’m not interested in that little bean sprout. I have serious business with her.”
Chen Qingyan looked skeptical, and Lin Fengmian teased, “Senior sister, this is already the second time you’ve ruined my plans.”
Chen Qingyan stared at him cautiously. “So? What do you want to do?”
Lin Fengmian looked at her playfully, his eyes roaming over her, and couldn’t resist teasing her.
“Senior sister, you came to me willingly. If I don’t take advantage of it, wouldn’t that be against my character?”
Only then did Chen Qingyan realize the implications and feel conflicted.
She really hadn’t thought about this before.
“Maybe… you could say that something came up? Or that you’re not in a good mood today?”
Lin Fengmian quickly shook his head. “How could that work? A man can’t say that he’s incapable!”
Chen Qingyan was at a loss for words. Lin Fengmian stroked his chin and grinned. “Senior sister, can’t you just play along with me for a bit?”
Chen Qingyan shook her head firmly. She knew her own limits and absolutely couldn’t pretend in such a situation.
“No!”
Lin Fengmian pretended to be confused. “Why are you so resistant to me?”
He wanted to see how long she would keep up this act of being the seductress.
When would she finally come clean about the Heartache Technique?
Chen Qingyan’s expression became strange. She was resisting him?
What a joke. Other men didn’t even have a chance to touch a single strand of her hair.
“I’m not interested in you. What we have is pure friendship. I don’t want to mix anything else into it.”
“Liu Mei and Yunxi are my friends. I don’t want to betray them. Don’t bring it up again!”
Her serious tone left Lin Fengmian speechless for a moment. He could only smile helplessly.
“Senior sister, you make a good point. But since you ruined my plans twice, shouldn’t you compensate me?”
Chen Qingyan asked, “What do you want?”
Lin Fengmian smiled shyly. “I have a hobby of collecting women’s lingerie. How about you…?”
Before he could finish, Chen Qingyan immediately stood up and retreated to the corner of the carriage, looking at him in horror.
Lin Fengmian felt uncomfortable. “Senior sister, you’re really hurting my feelings here.”
Chen Qingyan remained silent, simply staring at him as if he were a pervert.
Lin Fengmian immediately put on an act, sighing deeply and looking sad.
“Senior sister, since we’re fated to part in this life, why not grant me a keepsake to remember you by?”
Chen Qingyan seemed conflicted, but she still shook her head.
“Junior brother, this hobby of yours… I really can’t accept it.”
Lin Fengmian sighed and looked extremely disappointed.
He helplessly waved his hand. “Fine, let’s just go back and have some tea. Consider this matter settled.”
Chen Qingyan let out a soft “Mm”, completely unmoved, and watched Lin Fengmian’s performance with an amused smile.
Keep pretending, go on!
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. This was the first time that he had been rejected so thoroughly.
Indeed, the only people you can fool are those who are willing to believe you.
Liu Mei and the others were not fools.
They were just willing to play along and be “fooled” by him.
Perhaps he was the one being fooled all along.
