Chapter 91: She Lost Her Mind Again Because of Lin Feng!
Zhu Qiming lifted a hand and pointed at the pot and the pile of instant noodles.
Ma Yanbin: “...”
He wanted him to cook for himself?
No way.
Ma Yanbin could not sit still any longer and got to his feet at once. “Isn’t there still one bowl nobody’s eaten?”
Just then, a member of the camera crew came forward and bent close to Lin Feng’s ear, saying something in a low voice. Lin Feng’s eyes widened in surprise.
Right as Ma Yanbin came over and was about to ask for the noodles, he saw Lin Feng roll sideways and slip down from the hammock.
“I actually am a bit hungry.”
Without giving Ma Yanbin a chance to reach out, Lin Feng said this, then simply picked up the bowl of noodles and began slurping them down.
Ma Yanbin’s hand froze in midair, and his face instantly stiffened with embarrassment.
What was this? He would not come, he would not eat, but the moment he arrived, he started eating. Was this kid deliberately picking a fight with him?
Seeing Xiao Ran sucking on a lollipop and smiling as she watched Lin Feng, he could not say much else.
He shot Lin Feng a vicious glare, then turned back to the wooden bench and began cooking his own instant noodles.
The livestream comments quickly erupted into heated discussion as well.
“Now that’s more like it! Eat! Such good noodles, and it’d be a shame not to!”
“Eat them all, damn it. Brothers, I’m loving this!”
“This factory kid is absolutely the chosen protagonist, hahaha!!!”
Behind the scenes, Zheng Bochao finally let out a breath of relief. Other things aside, the main point was to make the audience enjoy themselves, wasn’t it?
Besides, since his brother had come to join the show, how could he not treat him properly?
But...
The extra budget was something he had not considered. In his moment of excitement just now, he had nearly forgotten about that.
Watching Lin Feng gorge himself on the noodles, Zheng Bochao’s mouth twitched.
Brother, if that’s how it is, then don’t blame me...
He stared at his phone for a long while before finally dialing Xu Zhiqing’s number.
After discussing it with Xu Zhiqing, Zheng Bochao agreed to let Xu Nuo’er appear as a surprise guest to shake things up, for a fee of six hundred thousand yuan, and enter on the fourth day after the show’s premiere.
...
“Miss, Mr. Lin he...”
At the Purple Light Manor villa, Yu Xueyan rushed into Chu Lingshuang’s study. She had only gotten halfway through her sentence when she saw the screen of the computer in front of Chu Lingshuang flashing with the program Hell or Heaven.
The words stuck in her throat.
Chu Lingshuang turned her chair around. Her expression was utterly flat, betraying no emotion at all.
Yu Xueyan’s heart gave a sudden jolt.
There was an old saying: before a storm arrives, the sea is always calm...
She swallowed nervously and forced a strained laugh. “Miss, ahahaha... you’re watching this show too?”
Chu Lingshuang remained expressionless and gave a slight lift of her eyes. “Mm.”
It was only one syllable, but it fell into Yu Xueyan’s heart like a stone. Trembling, she asked, “Miss, should I pressure the production team and bring Miss Ruanruan back?”
Unexpectedly, Chu Lingshuang waved a hand. “No need.”
Eh?!
Yu Xueyan was stunned. Ever since the young lady had met Lin Feng, she had almost never been able to guess her thoughts anymore.
What was she up to this time?
“You may leave.”
Chu Lingshuang calmly tossed out the words, then nudged the floor with her toe and turned the chair back around.
Yu Xueyan drew in a deep breath and nodded. “Yes.”
She answered and withdrew, and the room once again fell quiet.
Chu Lingshuang stared fixedly at Lin Feng on the screen, expressionless.
Away from her side, he was so happy, even eating those coarse, hard-to-swallow foods with such relish.
A trace of anger rose in her eyes, but it soon faded.
These past several days, aside from being busy tying up the loose ends of the Gu family matter, there had been another, greater anxiety circling in her heart.
After he left, her life had returned to calm.
It was clearly the same life as before, yet it felt unbearably boring.
She had spent night after night tossing and turning, unable to eat or sleep, her mind always conjuring Lin Feng’s face, along with every little moment they had shared...
These thoughts made her want nothing more than to lock Lin Feng by her side again.
But he had said that none of that was what he wanted.
So, what did he want?
What method could she use to make him remember her completely, and forever?
As these thoughts churned in her head, a clear trace of anxiety appeared in Chu Lingshuang’s gaze.
Now Ruanruan was by his side.
As for what Chu Yunran wanted to do, Chu Lingshuang knew perfectly well.
Her younger sister had been a heart-stealer since school days, lively and playful, and though she could be a little spoiled at times, her looks more than made up for it. Not only did it fail to annoy people, it only made them like her more...
Their parents had always said she should learn from Ruanruan and loosen up a little, but with family matters weighing on her, she simply had no time to concern herself with such things.
Yet now she found herself thinking that perhaps Lin Feng liked that sort of personality.
She pressed a hand to her forehead and kneaded the bridge of her nose, though her eyes never left the image of Lin Feng on the screen.
Perhaps she should let Ruanruan give it a try...
At that thought, the domineering light in Chu Lingshuang’s eyes instantly scattered. She half-lidded her gaze, resting a fingertip against her red lips.
If he still did not like it, if she still could not find what he loved, she would not mind keeping Lin Feng here for the rest of his life.
Even if she had to use underhanded means.
No matter how filthy it might be, she would make sure Lin Feng remembered her.
She took a deep breath and steadied herself, then picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip.
But in the next second, when her eyes fell on the computer screen again, flames of fury erupted at once.
On the screen, Chu Yunran was smiling as she lifted a hand and wiped at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth after he had finished the noodles, while Lin Feng looked utterly flattered and even... pleased?
Damn it. He actually dared to enjoy it.
Chu Lingshuang was so furious she smashed the cup straight to the floor.
A deafening crash rang through the room.
Outside the door, Yu Xueyan’s anxious voice called out, “Miss, what happened? Are you all right?!”
“Get out!”
Chu Lingshuang was shaking with rage. She glared viciously at the scene on the screen, then angrily grabbed her phone, opened Chu Yunran’s profile, pressed the voice-message button, and her furious voice rang out sharply.
“Chu Yunran, you have a lot of nerve, daring to touch my man!”
“You have until tonight to get back here, or I’ll send you to Indonesia!”
“Bastard!”
Chu Lingshuang was livid. She sent three messages in a row, but the next second, Qin Xue’s message popped up.
“Miss Lingshuang, is something wrong? Miss Ruanruan is participating in a show, and her phone is with me.”
The moment she saw those words, Chu Lingshuang froze.
Damn it.
She had actually forgotten that Chu Yunran was taking part in a program right now...
She came abruptly to herself, instinctively pressing a hand to her chest. Feeling her heart pounding violently, she fell briefly into a daze.
Just now, had she once again lost all reason because of Lin Feng?
