Lin Feng laughed unconsciously upon hearing Tang Rou’s question, looking at Tang Rou with a sudden sense of realization.
"Why are you laughing? Quickly answer my question!" Tang Rou felt a bit guilty from Lin Feng’s laughter, suppressing her embarrassment, she spoke loudly.
"So my dear Tang Rou is jealous... No wonder it turned out like this!" Lin Feng chuckled proudly, gently caressing Tang Rou’s cheek, earnestly saying, "Tell me, isn’t that right?"
"Of course not!" Tang Rou’s face turned crimson as she emphatically denied, "Who would be jealous of you? You’re overthinking! I’m just curious, can’t I be curious?"
"Hehe..." Lin Feng put on an enigmatic expression, smiling faintly, then gazed seriously at Tang Rou, as if trying to use a perceptive look to make Tang Rou back down.
Tang Rou stared at Lin Feng for a while, her mouth moved, but eventually she turned her head aside, playfully saying, "Anyway, just tell me, stop looking at me!"
"Alright, alright... How could I hide anything my dear Tang Rou wants to know!" Lin Feng said with a smug look, "The reason I was so rushed to go out with Su Zi this morning was because her father suddenly came to Jiangzhou from the Imperial City. We just went to chat and have a meal together..."
Oh, so it was to meet Su Zi’s father, no wonder he was in such a hurry! Lin Feng, is he eager to discuss marriage with Su Zi? Thinking of this made Tang Rou feel gloomy again!
"Oh, what did you guys talk about?" Tang Rou asked in feigned indifference, but Lin Feng, the old fox, could easily see through her little thoughts.
"Tang Rou, you’re definitely thinking that I’m rushing to see Su Zi’s father to earn his approval, so I can unabashedly be with Su Zi, right?" Lin Feng chuckled, throwing the question back at Tang Rou.
Tang Rou felt her heart tighten, surprised that Lin Feng so perceptively guessed her thoughts. She looked at Lin Feng angrily, asking in a deep voice, "Isn’t that the case?"
"Of course not..." Lin Feng shook his head, gently stroking Tang Rou’s hair, whispered, "Tang Rou, I’m only telling you this, you must keep it secret!"
"Hmm?" Tang Rou looked at Lin Feng with some puzzlement; wasn’t he just meeting Su Zi’s father? What secret could there be?
"You’ll understand when I say this!" Lin Feng looked into Tang Rou’s eyes, saying earnestly, "Su Zi’s father is Su Zhenxian..."
"Su Zhenxian..." Tang Rou mumbled Lin Feng’s words once more, then suddenly widened her eyes dramatically, asking in shock, "Su Zi is Chancellor Su’s daughter?!!"
Throughout China, except for some remote areas where older generations and clueless children can’t access internet or television, there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know the famous name of the current chancellor of China!
As the second most powerful person in China, Su Zhenxian’s every word and action are broadcast nationwide by countless media, showing a chancellor who cares for the people, dislikes empty talks, and prefers practical actions.
Lin Feng solemnly nodded.
After the affirmation, Tang Rou suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation pressing from all sides. She never expected Su Zi’s father to be Chancellor Su! Knowing Su Zi’s father’s identity made Tang Rou understand why Lin Feng and Su Zi were in such a hurry to go and see Su Zhenxian this morning... considering Su Zhenxian’s status, for Lin Feng, it was indeed like an audience...
"So that’s how it is..." Tang Rou said to herself with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"But don’t overthink..." Lin Feng gently stroked Tang Rou’s hair, saying lightly, "I went to see Old Su for another important reason, it’s not what you were thinking."
"Yeah, I believe you..." Tang Rou met Lin Feng’s gaze with a softened expression, forcing a smile, though her mood was somewhat gloomy.
Lin Feng didn’t notice the disappointment in Tang Rou’s eyes. Seeing her smile made him breath a bit easier, he tenderly patted Tang Rou’s head, calmly saying, "In any case, stop overthinking, I promised that I wouldn’t let you down..."
Tang Rou managed another smile, feeling more sad inside, thinking to herself, you may think that, but if Su Zi’s father suggests you marry Su Zi, what would your parents think? Would they still stick to their initial thoughts? Considering this, Tang Rou faintly felt that the future was shrouded in a haze.
As Lin Feng saw that Tang Rou was emotionally stable, he recalled the plan arranged by Su Zhenxian. To ensure Su Zhenxian’s safety, Lin Feng needed to find two people, one being Xiang Wang, responsible for intelligence surveillance, and the other, his convenient senior sister Lu Lu!
When Lin Feng and Tang Rou walked out of the room, Lu Lu was sitting in the living room watching TV, while Su Zi and Ning Aoxue surrounded her, chirping about martial arts cultivation problems.
Ning Aoxue sat earnestly to the side, appearing reserved, though she also wanted to practice martial arts and even wanted to please Lu Lu, but she would never get close to Lu Lu like Su Zi, calling her Younger Sister Lu Lu or Senior Sister Lu Lu.
"Lu Lu, there you are! Come with me to the study, I have something to say to you..." Lin Feng greeted Lu Lu with some excitement upon seeing her.
Lu Lu turned to look at Lin Feng, noticing Tang Rou walking out of the room with him, a playful smile appeared on her face as she lightly pouted, casually saying, "The study is on the second floor, and I’m too tired today to climb the stairs. If you have something to say, just say it here, I’ll listen."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, he couldn’t believe Lu Lu would be that exhausted, could a mighty innate expert not even climb one flight of stairs? Was this a joke?
"Ahem... What I need to discuss is a bit confidential, not very convenient here..." Lin Feng said, slightly embarrassed, looking at Lu Lu.
"What’s inconvenient... Aren’t we all our own people here?" Lu Lu said with a cheerful smile, then glanced at Su Zi and Ning Yujiao, the two agreed with nods.
"Forget it, you better come with me to the room..." Lin Feng glanced around; Ning Aoxue sisters, Tang Rou, and Su Zi weren’t martial artists, hearing his plan might make them frightened, better not to mention it.
"Go into the room, hmm, that sounds better..." Lu Lu finally smiled, lazily stood up from the sofa, and followed Lin Feng into his room.
Tang Rou felt an intense tightening in her heart again, previously she thought she wouldn’t mind seeing such things, now realizing otherwise.
