225: Chapter 0225: Eminent Officials and Nobles 225: Chapter 0225: Eminent Officials and Nobles Long Fei stared blankly at Wang Xiaoya.
He still hadn’t resolved the issues with Lin Yingying, how could he be in the mood to et his parents?
If they brought up marriage, should he agree or not?
Seeing him hesitate, Wang Xiaoya frowned and pressed, “You don’t want to?”
“No, how could that be!”
Long Fei quickly shook his head.
Wang Xiaoya thought he was just shy and consoled him.
“Don’t be nervous, eting the parents doesn’t an anything, it’s just having a al together.”
Long Fei chuckled awkwardly.
What he was thinking was entirely different from what Wang Xiaoya thought.
“I promise you, find a ti, and I will accompany you ho for a visit.”
He nodded in agreent for now, anyway, Wang Xiaoya had just found a job and couldn’t go back for the ti being.
Wang Xiaoya nodded, curled up cozily in his arms, and asked him with a flushed face, “Do you still want the stockings?”
“Yes, of course!”
Long Fei swallowed.
He had eaten too much seafood just now, and his stomach was on fire!
Wang Xiaoya bit her lip and lifted her foot for him to take off her shoes.
In front of Long Fei, she elegantly pulled on the stockings.
Her fair, long legs, once wrapped in that thin material, beca even more alluring.
Long Fei grinned from ear to ear, his eyes nearly spouting fire.
The next day when Wang Xiaoya got up, her whole body felt sore and tender.
She muttered to herself, swearing not to play recklessly with Long Fei again.
This guy was simply too barbaric.
It was a beautiful Sunday, yet sadly, she didn’t have the day off.
Long Fei wasn’t resting either.
There was a traditional dicine conference today, and he wanted to go and see the world.
After Wang Xiaoya ca out, he pedaled her to the clothing store on his bicycle.
Leilei had arrived early to open the store.
She greeted Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya.
After Wang Xiaoya went in, Leilei smiled and asked Long Fei, “I heard you two went out for seafood last night?”
“How did you know?”
Long Fei asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.
Leilei said, “It’s all because of Xie Xiaoyao and her husband, so bored.
They have a little group and dragged into it.
Last night, Wang Zhe posted a picture of your car in it, and a bunch of people discussed it, saying a lot of bad things about you both!”
Long Fei chuckled lightly, “These people really have nothing better to do.
Don’t mind them, let them say whatever they want!”
Leilei nodded, glanced inside the store and whispered to Long Fei, “Our boss seems to have lost quite a bit, I think he will contact you next week.”
“That’s good!”
Long Fei laughed and told her, “You arrange it, I’m free anyti.”
“Okay, boss!”
Leilei teased him with a smile and waved goodbye.
After Long Fei left, she went back inside the store.
Wang Xiaoya, now changed into her work clothes, asked her, “What were you guys talking about?
You seed so happy.”
Leilei teased, “Why, are you jealous?”
Wang Xiaoya giggled, “Not at all, I’m vinegar from Jinxi Old Chen Vinegar!”
“You’re so petty even towards your best friend!”
Leilei laughed and playfully ssed around with her.
Having interacted with Long Fei more recently, she indeed started to have feelings for this man.
Low-key and honest, and most importantly, wealthy–which woman wouldn’t like that?
But she was just daydreaming.
Wang Xiaoya was her close friend, and she definitely wouldn’t cross that line.
Linhai Wetland Park, located on the east side of Binhai City.
This area was originally a deserted tidal flat.
Later, it was transford by the municipal governnt into Binhai City’s largest wetland park.
With rivers crisscrossing and flocks of egrets, the vast stretches of greenery and flowers were indeed pleasing to the eye.
By the ti Long Fei rode his bicycle there, it was already past nine o’clock.
In this park, there was only one set of antique-style courtyard houses.
This courtyard was the venue for today’s traditional dicine exchange eting.
Having seen the luxurious villas of Dongyang Mountain, Long Fei couldn’t help but be surprised the first ti he saw this courtyard.
The air here was fresh, a much better environnt than in the city.
To be able to live in a wetland park of over a hundred acres – even money might not be able to make it happen!
The entrance of the courtyard was already filled with luxury cars.
It was supposed to be a traditional Chinese dicine symposium, but the people getting out of the cars were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking every bit the part of leaders and rich businessn.
And he had guessed right, these were indeed Binhai City’s influential figures.
The banquet today was divided into two groups, with the famous traditional dicine experts having arrived early.
Long Fei was completely puzzled, not understanding how He Hongtao, a so-called big shot in society, could invite so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries no matter how powerful he was.
He had wanted to broaden his horizons, but who knew, a traditional Chinese dicine symposium was put on like a grand party.
What could he possibly learn mingling with these people?
He was hesitating about leaving when a familiar voice sounded, “Long Fei, what are you doing here?”
The woman had just stepped out of a Rolls-Royce, dressed in a black cinched waist evening gown and holding an exquisite little purse—other than Lin Yingying, who else could it be?
As soon as she got out of the car, the attention of everyone imdiately converged onto her.
Among the many beautiful won present, she was indeed the brightest pearl.
At that mont, any woman of any deanor was completely overshadowed by her.
In the crowd, she easily spotted Long Fei.
Everyone else was dressed formally, dripping with glamour and luxury.
Only Long Fei, in a T-shirt and denim capris, feet in a pair of fifty-yuan sneakers that looked like Adidas.
At first glance, he looked like a delivery guy.
Long Fei parked the car and with a light laugh said, “Director Lin, you’re here too!”
“Call by my na!”
Lin Yingying gave him a glare, clearly dissatisfied with the title he used.
“You’re not mad at anymore?”
Rembering the argunt from yesterday, Long Fei still felt sowhat embarrassed.
Lin Yingying snorted, “If I were to be angry with you, I would have been mad to death by now.
As it happens, I still need soone to carry my bag, so follow in.”
She thought Long Fei had co to the park to play around and join in the fun.
Casually handing her purse over to Long Fei, she led him inside.
The entrance was guarded inside and out by well-trained n in suits, and from their physique, one could tell they were martial artists.
Broad upper bodies and strong legs.
Glancing up at a person, they seed like tightly coiled springs.
Lin Yingying had him take out the invitation from the purse to show it to the security guard.
The security guard scanned their bodies with a detector and checked Lin Yingying’s purse before letting them in.
Long Fei took a look at the invite, which was different from his; it read “Binhai City Business Exchange Conference.”
The courtyard had two entries and two exits, with two mansions front and back.
The front yard was large, featuring rockeries and a small lake, and was arranged like a South Yangtze private garden.
Catering was set up in the yard, where many n and won were already inside, chatting and laughing with glasses of red wine in hand.
All the won were in evening gowns, tiny waists and long legs, looking like models, and it made one wonder where they had been recruited from.
One of the won seed to be from Binhai City’s television station, soone Long Fei often saw on TV.
Lin Yingying found a spot for them to stand and handed him a glass of red wine.
Her hair was pinned up high, displaying her clear forehead.
Her ears were adorned with diamond pendants, dressed with high-class elegance, a completely different vibe from Wang Xiaoya.
Looking at her, Long Fei was slightly lost in thought.
Lin Yingying glanced at him, her pretty eyebrows furrowing, and as she smoothed her hair she asked, “Is there sothing on my face?”
Long Fei chuckled and sincerely complinted her, “You look really beautiful today.”
“Smooth talker!”
Lin Yingying pursed her lips, her face appearing cool, but inwardly she felt a bit pleased.
Which woman doesn’t like being told she looks pretty?
Her situation with Long Fei was half playing hard to get and half genuinely having a soft spot for him.
She had intended to tell Long Fei yesterday to accompany her to this banquet.
But who would have thought that Long Fei would take the initiative to suggest ending their engagent, leaving her seething with anger and walking out.
After she got ho, she cursed Long Fei a thousand tis.
And said she would never bother with this jerk ever again.
Yet upon seeing him today, she still couldn’t help talking to him.
