Chapter 89 Yun Yang's Compromise
"My dad was so handsome today!" Yun Hanrui said while washing vegetables in the kitchen.
Aunt Yun snorted coldly, "That's because that Fusang Person had no good intentions. He got what he deserved! By the way, why did you suddenly decide to come back today? Didn't you say you were really busy with work recently?"
"No matter how busy I am, I still have to come back and see my dear mom!" Yun Hanrui crinkled her nose and said, "Don't you and dad welcome me home?"
"You silly girl, how could we not welcome you!" Aunt Yun said with a smile, "I'm just curious. You always used work as an excuse when we asked you to come home for a meal, but today you took the initiative to come home! Could it be that..."
Yun Hanrui's heart skipped a beat, "Ah, mom, you're always so suspicious. If you keep this up, I'm going back to the company!"
Aunt Yun said with a laugh, "Alright, I won't say more! By the way, are you still in contact with Xiao Feng?"
Yun Hanrui's movements came to a halt. She remembered how Ling Feng looked ambiguously close with a female police officer on the night of the twelfth. A hint of displeasure crossed her face, "Oh come on, why bring him up!"
"Xiao Feng is a good kid!" Aunt Yun said while organizing the ingredients, "On the night of the twelfth, our building's elevator was under maintenance, and that kid Xiao Feng carried you all the way up to the seventeenth floor. I thought you two got along quite well!"
Yun Hanrui was moved. She was indeed very tired that day and slept deeply afterward. Although she later heard that it was Ling Feng who had brought her home, she didn't know that Ling Feng had actually carried her up seventeen floors!
"Oh," Yun Hanrui said in a low voice.
In fact, when Yun Hanrui learned that Ling Feng was taking her dad to the symposium today, she inexplicably decided to come home for dinner, her heart not without the intention of seeing Ling Feng. Though she would not admit to such a subconscious thought.
The door creaked open, and Yun Yang entered, bringing in a chill, "What delicious food are we preparing for tonight?"
Aunt Yun's voice carried through, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook! Consider it a reward for you!"
Yun Hanrui quickly walked out, "Dad, you were really cool today! From now on, you're my idol!"
Yun Yang feigned anger, "So I wasn't your idol before? Ah, I knew all those things you said before were just to fool me!"
"No way! Dad, you've always been my idol!" Yun Hanrui hugged Yun Yang, then glanced around involuntarily and asked nonchalantly, "Dad, did you come back alone today? Where's your personal driver?"
Yun Yang's eyes twinkled with amusement, "Yes, isn't it disappointing to see me come back alone?"
Yun Hanrui's face flushed slightly, she replied haughtily, "What would I be disappointed about? How silly!"
"Ah, I was actually hoping that Xiao Feng would come over for dinner!" Yun Yang muttered to himself as if explaining to Yun Hanrui, "But unfortunately, he had a date with his sweetheart, so I had no choice but to let him go!"
"A date with his sweetheart?" Yun Hanrui's heart suddenly became much more agitated, "It must be that little policewoman! Hmph!"
"Dad, I came back today because I have something to tell you and mom," Yun Hanrui said with her lips pursed, hesitantly, "Ling Feng and I have talked it over, and we've decided to just call each other siblings. As for the agreement between you and Uncle Ling, we've decided not to honor it!"
After Yun Hanrui spoke those words, her heart felt somewhat uneasy. She was very aware of the close friendship between her father and Uncle Ling, and she was even prepared for a stormy response.
But after a long silence, Yun Yang sighed softly, "Let it be, I won't meddle in young people's affairs! Xiao Rui, since you've made your choice, don't regret it in the future! Xiao Feng is a good person, and even if there's no romantic fate between you two, after all, you've grown up together, and you shouldn't grow apart!"
Yun Hanrui breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, dad, he's still my Brother Feng after all!"
Watching Yun Hanrui flutter back to her room like a butterfly, Yun Yang's lips curved into a slight smile, "Silly girl, you probably haven't realized how much your attitude towards Ling Feng has changed! But let it be, Guo Liang, if the two of them are meant to be, they'll end up together in the future, don't you think?"
...
After dropping Yun Yang off at Jinghua Community, Ling Feng checked the time and then headed towards the address given by Bai Xiaoxiao.
An hour later, Ling Feng arrived at his destination and was taken aback by the villa in front of him!
After all, this was a prestigious military-political compound, and the fact that Bai Feifei's home was located here clearly indicated that she must have high-ranking military or political officials in her family!
"I never would have guessed that silly girl had such a powerful background," Ling Feng murmured, shaking his head gently.
"Halt, who are you looking for?" A security guard appeared, eyeing Ling Feng suspiciously.
The guard was young, but there was a formidable air about him, clearly indicating he had a military background.
"I'm looking for Bai Xiaoxiao!" Ling Feng said.
The security guard frowned, "There's no one named Bai Xiaoxiao here, you're at the wrong place!"
Ling Feng was taken aback; the address was clearly listed on the business card Bai Xiaoxiao had given him!
"Are you sure?" Ling Feng furrowed his brows.
The security guard was visibly irritated by Ling Feng's challenge, "There are one hundred and thirty-two households here, and I'm clear about the number of dogs and cats in each one. How could I be unsure? Are you questioning my professionalism?"
Ling Feng asked, "But my business card shows that Bai Feifei's home is right here, is that not correct?"
The guard shuddered, "Wait a moment, sir, are you looking for Bai Feifei?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"Just a second, I'll make a call inside!" The security guard hurried into the guardhouse.
However, Ling Feng found it strange; why did the guard look at him with a hint of pity when he mentioned Bai Feifei just now?
Less than three minutes later, the guard reappeared, "I'm sorry, may I ask if you are Mr. Ling Feng?"
"I am Ling Feng!"
"Then that's right, please come in!" The guard opened the electronic gate and said, "Good luck!"
Ling Feng was bewildered but, with not much time to spare, he didn't ponder over it and headed straight inside.
At that moment in Bai Feifei's home, the atmosphere was bustling and very lively.
"Everyone, quiet down!" Mu Xiao placed her hands on her hips and shouted, "Our son-in-law has entered the community, so all of you quiet down. If you scare my son-in-law, you'll be paying!"
"Sister, you're already calling him son-in-law so soon; looks like this Ling Feng is really to your taste!" A young-looking woman laughed and said, "Well, we'll have to take a good look to see what makes this Ling Feng so special!"
