Cui Zhe saw that the eting had reached this point and knew it was beyond redemption. He couldn’t utter a word, just silently sighed to himself, thinking ’Has my son gone mad? How could he do such a thing? To give up the identity of the heir to the entire Six Stars Group for a woman—this... this is truly the height of folly!’ Right now, he wished he could drag his son over and give him a sound beating to vent his anger. He had worked so hard to get this position for his son, and now it was all going up in smoke—this... this unfilial son!
"Alright, let’s leave it at that. Everyone has reached a consensus to revoke Cui Jinhao’s status as heir to the Six Stars Group. The eting is adjourned. I will report this outco to the Elders Council for their deliberation. As for what the final outco will be, it’s up to the Elders Council to decide," said the Clan Leader Cui Enpu, seeing everyone’s stance. He knew there was no need to continue, and declared the eting over. Cui Jinhao had truly disappointed everyone. He had been such a brilliant business prodigy, but now he had co to this because of a woman—it was hard to find words for Cui Jinhao.
Upon hearing what the Clan Leader had said, the other Family Heads knew that the general situation was settled, and they left the eting room, each one starting to contemplate who to support to beco the new heir of the Six Stars Group.
Cui Zhe was the last to leave, feeling utterly dejected. He hadn’t expected that, after all the effort he put in to make his son the heir to the Six Stars Group, his disappointing son would commit such outrageous acts. Now that the status of the heir was gone, what... what was he supposed to do in the future, he worried...
anwhile, Cui Jinhao was still smashing things in a rage, completely unaware that by offending Lin Feng, he was going to lose everything completely. Instead, he was still planning how to deal with Lin Feng, not sensing the peril in his current situation...
......
Tianhai International Airport.
The plane carrying the delegation from Yingbo University landed slowly. The entire trip in H Country was very successful apart from the encounter with Cui Jinhao. Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng exited the plane and recovered their originally cheerful moods. The group left the airport and boarded the school bus to return to the university, while Zhu Tao left directly in Huang Shi’s car.
"Wan’er, let’s go out for dinner tonight. We’ve been involved in group activities in H Country, so tonight let’s find a place where it’s just the two of us," Lin Feng suggested to Ding Wan’er after returning to the principal’s office in high spirits. Honestly, he really wanted to spend so alone ti with Ding Wan’er. During the trip to H Country, he felt more and more that Ding Wan’er was a remarkable woman, a paragon of maternal grace.
"Lin Feng, I’m a bit busy this afternoon and probably won’t be able to go out. Why don’t you ask Sister Leng instead?" said Ding Wan’er, touched by Lin Feng’s words. She initially wanted to agree instantly, but on second thought, she had been with Lin Feng for nearly ten days in H Country, which was tantamount to monopolizing his ti. She’d feel sowhat embarrassed to continue doing so upon their return, especially now that Leng i was Lin Feng’s woman. She couldn’t let Lin Feng spend all his ti with her, as it wouldn’t be fair to Leng i and the other sisters.
"It’s just dinner, no need to overthink it," said Lin Feng, who was initially eager. Upon hearing Ding Wan’er’s words, he imdiately understood her intention—she was considering Leng i, not wanting to leave her lonely. After all, they had been away for about ten days, and Leng i must have been quite solitary during that ti. He should go and keep Leng i company, but he wanted to have dinner with Ding Wan’er. He naturally planned to take care of Leng i; that wasn’t a problem at all, and surely it wouldn’t hurt to spend ti on one dinner. Why did Ding Wan’er insist on pushing him towards Leng i?
"Lin Feng, I just think that we’ve been out for so long, you should go see Sister Leng as you co back, to make her happy. After all, Sister Leng is now your woman. You may not consider these things, but I have to. Even though Sister Leng might not say it, I don’t want her to be alone any longer. Go keep her company, cheer her up. I have a lot of things piled up here since we’ve just returned, so it’s a good ti for you to go see Sister Leng."
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ding Wan’er of course understood what he ant and explained in detail. She didn’t want to avoid accompanying Lin Feng but believed that, having just returned, Lin Feng should visit Leng i and give her a surprise. Moreover, she really did have many things to handle at the mont, so it was an opportune ti for Lin Feng to keep Leng i company—wasn’t this outco the best?
Furthermore, Ding Wan’er knew that Sister Leng had been solitary for years, leading an especially bleak life. Now that Leng i finally had Lin Feng, she couldn’t even see him. Ding Wan’er did not want Sister Leng to continue living a life filled with nothing but work. Making Sister Leng happy was what Ding Wan’er desired most to see.
"Alright then, I’ll go see her. I won’t walk you ho tonight; take care of yourself," Lin Feng said after hearing Ding Wan’er’s words. There wasn’t much else to say; the conversation had reached this point, and he had to go find Leng i. This way, he wouldn’t disturb Ding Wan’er’s work, and he felt that what she said made sense. Leng i was now his woman, and she hardly saw him; their ti together in Capital City was slightly longer. Upon his return, he also should go to see Leng i, giving her a pleasant surprise and making her happy.
"Sure, make sure to pamper Sister Leng; she’s had it tough. Alone in Tianhai without any relatives, don’t worry about . I’m going to visit Grandpa tonight," Ding Wan’er reminded Lin Feng once more, aiming for just one thing—to make Sister Leng happy. She also wanted Lin Feng not to worry about her. Now that she had returned from H Country, she rightly could go visit Grandpa, whom she hadn’t seen in a while.
"I’m off," Lin Feng said upon hearing this, reassured. He turned around and left the office, then headed toward the Departnt of Languages.
Seeing Lin Feng exit the room, Ding Wan’er couldn’t help but smile, thinking what Sister Leng’s surprised expression would be like when she saw Lin Feng. Would she be overjoyed...
After pondering for a brief mont, Ding Wan’er reluctantly began to sort through the backlog of work that had piled up during her absence, picked up a pen, and started working.
As soon as Lin Feng arrived at the School of Languages, he encountered a group of French departnt students, who were ecstatic to see him. Teacher Lin had been missing for over a month, and now that he had finally returned, how could they not be thrilled? Although there were no classes today, the prospect of Teacher Lin teaching tomorrow’s class was too exciting.
"Teacher Lin, you’re finally back."
"Teacher Lin, what have you been busy with these days?"
"Nothing much, just went out to handle so things."
"Then Teacher Lin, will you make up the classes that were missed?"
"We’ll see. If possible, I will make up the missed classes for you all."
"That’s great. Without Teacher Lin’s classes, there’s just no interest in attending."
...
Lin Feng was imdiately surrounded by students. Seeing their happy expressions, he didn’t quite know what to say. He felt sowhat helpless in such situations, but more than that, he was pleased. His students’ happiness was his own. He casually chatted with them for a while before bidding them farewell and leaving. Feeling their enthusiasm, Lin Feng’s mood greatly improved. As a teacher, everyone hopes for such monts.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Lin Feng arrived at Leng i’s office door and knocked gently.
"Co in," Leng i’s cool voice sounded from inside the office. Recently, the School of Languages had been overwhelmingly busy due to the upcoming evaluations of various departnts. With Lin Feng not in Tianhai, her mood was understandably a bit irritable, making her voice sound as chilly as ever.
Hearing Leng i’s voice, Lin Feng knew her mood wasn’t great. It seed he had not chosen the best ti to visit, yet he hoped that seeing him would improve her mood, which would an he had achieved his goal for the day.
With this thought, Lin Feng gently pushed open the office door and walked straight to Leng i, who was still engrossed in her work. He stood quietly beside her, not wanting to disturb her concentration. He did feel sowhat guilty; Leng i was truly a workaholic. This couldn’t go on; Lin Feng decided he should spend more ti with her in the future to help her relax. She was just working too hard.
"Eh, Lin Feng, you’re back?" Leng i finished her imdiate tasks and, looking up to see Lin Feng, was surprised. Wasn’t he in H Country with Girl Ding? How had he returned?
"What kind of question is that? Once things were wrapped up there, I naturally ca back. Right when I got back to school, Wan’er sent over to your office. Are things particularly busy now?" Lin Feng saw the surprised look on Leng i’s face and realized she didn’t know they had returned. He briefly explained and then inquired, for he had been standing there for a solid ten minutes, and if Leng i hadn’t finished, she would have forgotten soone had co into the office. Was she that busy?
"You don’t know, now is the busiest ti. Every year around this ti, it’s the season for evaluations in all the language departnts. There’s not a single person in the School of Languages who isn’t busy, and I have even more to take care of here. How was the trip to H Country, any gains?" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Leng i felt a warmth in her heart. Girl Ding had sent Lin Feng over right after returning, obviously hoping he would spend more ti with her. Honestly, seeing Lin Feng also made Leng i very happy. She had barely returned from Capital City when Lin Feng left for another country with Girl Ding, which had caused a flicker in her heart.
During these past days, every evening when Leng i returned ho, she would rember the nights she spent with Lin Feng at the Capital City night market. Thinking about it always made her laugh; it was the happiest ti for her. It was then she had truly felt Lin Feng’s love for her, longing to relive those joyful tis.
