Chapter 116 He Has Never Been One to Meddle in Others' Affairs

Again?!
Yu Xueyan shuddered all over. But she would never dare question the young lady about her affairs, so she hurriedly answered, “Yes, Miss. I understand.”
With that, she left.
After taking a short rest, Lin Feng had just stepped out of his room when he ran into Yu Xueyan.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes darted about conspicuously. She said to him, “Well, Mr. Lin, Miss said that once the program is over, you’re to go to her room.”
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched. That woman was truly something else. Even in her current condition, she still refused to let him off.
He had thought she had fallen asleep...
“All right. I understand.”
Lin Feng nodded, turning away as he said to Yu Xueyan, “I’m going to record the program first.”
Then he left.
Yu Xueyan did not dare look at him for long either. She went straight back to stand guard outside Chu Lingshuang’s room.
When Lin Feng went downstairs, he happened to arrive just as the meal service was beginning.
Since the two programs were being recorded separately, everyone was also dining and filming in two different restaurants. Miao Ruoyu and the others were in the restaurant not far from the staircase.
As soon as Lin Feng reached the ground floor and passed the restaurant entrance, Miao Ruoyu, who was livestreaming, caught sight of him coming down the stairs. She immediately used going to the restroom as an excuse and walked toward him.
Just as Lin Feng was heading for the restaurant where Xiao Ran was, Miao Ruoyu’s voice rang out behind him.
“Mr. Lin!”
Lin Feng paused and turned around blankly.
Miao Ruoyu approached with graceful steps, her face bright with smiles. “Mr. Lin, I heard you were ill. Are you feeling any better now?”
Ill?!
Could this be the excuse Zheng Bochao had made up for him?
Lin Feng instantly understood. He nodded and said, “A little better.”
Miao Ruoyu blinked, then suddenly took two steps forward and stopped right in front of him. “Mr. Lin, you really need to take good care of yourself. The weather on this island changes unpredictably. Your health is what matters most.”
He and Miao Ruoyu were not acquainted. At most, they had seen each other before; they had never even spoken. Yet she had suddenly come over to show him such concern. If she had no ulterior motive, he would never believe it.
Chu Lingshuang and Xiao Ran were already more than enough trouble for him. Lin Feng had no interest in getting involved with another woman, so he merely nodded and said coolly, “Thank you for reminding me, Miss Miao.”
Miao Ruoyu was clearly taken aback by his response.
After all, she was a beauty influencer with tens of millions of followers on the platform. Though she could not compare with Xiao Ran, she was extremely confident in her makeup and appearance. Even Zhu Qiming spoke to her politely and pleasantly, yet Lin Feng had treated her with such indifference.

This only strengthened her conviction that Lin Feng had powerful connections behind him.
And now, a rare opportunity had finally presented itself...
A flicker passed through her eyes. She was just about to step forward and pull Lin Feng into a longer conversation when, right as her hand was about to touch his arm, Xiao Ran’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Big Brother Lin! You’re here!”
The moment Xiao Ran spotted Lin Feng through the restaurant’s glass windows, she rushed over excitedly.
The livestream instantly erupted with activity.
“Has Factory Boy’s fever gone down?”
“Is Factory Boy feeling better?”
“You’d better make it up to our precious Ranran. It can’t have been easy for her to keep everything running...”
“...”
When she arrived and caught sight of Miao Ruoyu standing in front of Lin Feng, Xiao Ran immediately understood what was going on. She blinked and asked, with open curiosity, “Sister Miao, aren’t you supposed to be accompanying Big Brother Zhu?”
Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with blatant, wide-eyed curiosity. She even deliberately pressed herself closer to Lin Feng’s side.
Miao Ruoyu’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
The viewers in the livestream noticed it too.
“What is Miao Ruoyu doing here? I want to watch Xiao Ran and Lin Feng!”
“Is she trying to play tricks on Lin Feng? She definitely doesn’t have good intentions.”
“That little flirt is trying to steal him halfway through, isn’t she? Factory Boy belongs to our Ranran. Get lost!”
Although nobody present had brought along a phone, there was a camera right in front of them.
Miao Ruoyu, who had spent years navigating the online world, could hardly fail to understand the consequences of Xiao Ran’s words.
Her gaze darkened, and she hurriedly said, “Miss Xiao, you’ve misunderstood. I came out to use the restroom and happened to run into Mr. Lin, so we exchanged a few pleasantries.”
As she spoke, she smiled at Lin Feng, silently praying that he would help explain.
How could she have expected Lin Feng to come to her aid? He had always hated meddling in other people’s affairs. Faced with the hopeful look in Miao Ruoyu’s eyes, he simply slipped both hands into his trouser pockets.
He looked like the very picture of someone who wanted no part in the matter.
Xiao Ran pursed her lips and gazed at Miao Ruoyu innocently. “Oh... I thought Miss Miao wanted to steal Big Brother Lin from me. Looks like I was mistaken...”
Her words were direct, striking straight at the heart of the matter.
The viewers, who had not previously considered that possibility, were instantly led in that direction.

Miao Ruoyu froze where she stood, suddenly at a loss for words.
To make matters worse, Xiao Ran even turned to her with an apologetic expression. “Miss Miao, I’m sorry. I must have been overthinking things.”
With that single move, she completely seized control of the narrative, and the livestream exploded.
“Ranran, why are you apologizing? She clearly wants to steal Lin Feng from you!”
“Factory Boy is my Xiao Ran’s. No one is allowed to touch him!”
“That fake flirt needs to get out of here. She’s annoying just to look at!”
“Can’t you take Miao Ruoyu off the livestream? Does she really have to come out and stir up trouble?”
Even without looking at the comments, Miao Ruoyu knew exactly what the situation had become. She had only wanted to take the opportunity to exchange a few words with Lin Feng. How could she have imagined that Xiao Ran would intercept her?
Ever since the program had begun, Xiao Ran had constantly controlled the narrative against her. Now, somehow, she had become the one at fault.
Most importantly, she had no choice but to accept this apology.
Miao Ruoyu shot Xiao Ran a vicious glare and forced herself to say, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I have to record the program too, so I won’t disturb you.”
With that, she fled the scene.
Away from the cameras, Xiao Ran watched Miao Ruoyu run off, then looked at Lin Feng with eager anticipation. “Big Brother Lin, why aren’t you praising me? I just helped you deal with a fake flirt.”
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.
Good grief. As the person actually involved, he thought Xiao Ran was the one acting like a fake flirt.
Still, her intervention had spared him a great deal of trouble.
To be honest, Lin Feng had no idea what these women saw in him. He had done absolutely nothing. He was even late to the recording every single day. And yet they could still take an interest in him?!
Having Xiao Ran serve as his shield was not a bad thing.
He raised his eyelids slightly. “You did well.”
After receiving Lin Feng’s praise, Xiao Ran practically bounced with delight. Pressing herself close against him, she rubbed her shoulder against his arm and said excitedly, “Big Brother Lin, come on. Let’s eat!”
“Mm.”
Lin Feng answered. He really was hungry.
After resting for a while, his stomach had already begun to growl. This time he did not resist and simply followed Xiao Ran into the restaurant.
As usual, he focused entirely on his own meal, eating with gusto, while Xiao Ran sat across from him. Although she wore a smile, her gaze remained fixed on him, carrying a meaning he could not quite decipher...
