Chapter 140: The Retirement Home

"Ah! Lin Feng, let go of me. Put me down!"

Thud!

Lin Feng closed the bedroom door, carried her to the edge of the bed, and tossed her onto it forcefully.

Su Qingxue turned her head and looked at Lin Feng's desire-filled face. Terrified and nervous, she quickly covered her body and cried out in a panic, "Lin Feng, what are you doing? Calm down a little. I was just joking with you."

"I am not joking with you at all. Tonight, I am going to make you mine."

With those words, Lin Feng stepped toward her once again.

At that moment, Su Qingxue's heart was aflutter with complex tension. She felt not a shred of anger; instead, as Lin Feng drew closer, a wave of subtle excitement washed over her.

She had fallen for Lin Feng long ago, but lamented that he lacked any romantic intuition. Never had she expected that tonight, he would actually resort to taking her by force!

Since things had reached this point, she might as well yield to him!

Watching Lin Feng approach, although her lips still offered token resistance, her body no longer fought back.

When Lin Feng caught her arm, she proactively threw herself into his embrace, pressing her body tightly against his. In an instant, it fanned the flames raging in Lin Feng's heart.

At that moment, she could distinctly feel the immense physical reaction from Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, go ahead. As long as you promise to treat me well in the future and never let me down, I won't resist."

Her heart racing and her face flushed crimson, Su Qingxue stared at Lin Feng and said.

"Qingxue, you..."

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned. In truth, he had only intended to scare Su Qingxue earlier; he never imagined she would lose her fear and become so proactive instead.

In that fleeting instant, Lin Feng's heart was completely conquered!

How could he possibly not like Su Qingxue?

It was simply because they had not yet formally established their relationship, and he had not yet given her a grand confession ceremony, that he felt he could not cross the line with her.

At this thought, his mind snapped back to clarity. He pushed Su Qingxue away and said, "No, Qingxue, we can't do this."

"Why?"

Su Qingxue had just begun to harbor expectations, only for them to plunge into profound disappointment.

She looked at Lin Feng with puzzlement, frowned, and asked, "Don't you like me?"

"I... I don't mean that. I just feel that our relationship hasn't reached this stage yet. It's getting late, you should get some rest early."

Without another word, Lin Feng hurriedly left the room, returned to his own bedroom, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Su Qingxue was left in a wave of profound disappointment. Could her charm really be this lacking?

Does Lin Feng feel utterly nothing for me?

It was a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng prepared breakfast as usual. Noticing that Su Qingxue had not yet come down, he went upstairs to call her.

After knocking on her bedroom door several times, Su Qingxue finally emerged, but her demeanor this morning was distinctly different from before.

Noticing the abnormality in her expression, Lin Feng casually asked, "Qingxue, what's wrong? I've prepared breakfast, you can..."

"You eat it, I have no appetite."

Cutting Lin Feng short and refusing his offer, Su Qingxue went to wash up on her own and then left for work.

Lin Feng wore a look of curiosity. Wasn't she perfectly fine last night? Why had she suddenly turned so cold?

Could it be because... he had rejected her?

This silly girl, she couldn't possibly think that he didn't care about her in his heart, could she?

After pondering for a while, Lin Feng decided to put his plan of confessing his feelings on the agenda. Since it was a confession, he naturally needed to prepare a romantic venue and a token of love.

While he was deep in thought, the doorbell outside suddenly rang.

Assuming Su Qingxue had forgotten her keys and returned, he immediately walked over to open the door, only to find Zhou Nianying standing before him.

Zhou Nianying was dressed in a very pure style today—a Bvlgari T-shirt paired with Gucci ultra-short shorts, and a pink Chanel bag slung over her shoulder, making her look both luxurious and radiantly charming.

"Lin Feng, let's go. Do these clothes I'm wearing today suit your taste?"

Catching sight of Lin Feng, Zhou Nianying deliberately struck a pose to showcase her outfit and perfect figure, fluttering her pretty eyes as she asked.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, nodding in praise, "The matching is great, but the sun is a bit strong today. Are you sure you don't want to wear a bit more?"

"I brought sunscreen, I won't get burned. Let's set off immediately."

Pulling Lin Feng along, Zhou Nianying led him out, got into a car, and headed straight for the nursing home in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.

The Jiangcheng Nursing Home was located near the hills in the suburbs, where the scenery was picturesque and the air was fresh. It was practically a natural oxygen bar, making it exceptionally suited for the elderly.

Furthermore, the facilities here were complete, making it the largest of its kind in the entire city. The young women tending to the elders had been meticulously selected and recruited from nursing schools, highly skilled in patient care.

When Lin Feng arrived by car, he was instantly captivated by the blissful life of the seniors living here.

The elderly residents roaming the grounds were accompanied by caretakers; some gathered in groups to chat, while others played cards or chess, brimming with joy.

Zhou Nianying was a regular here, and almost all the elderly residents recognized her. The moment they saw her, they greeted her with smiles, and she waved back to everyone with radiant delight.

"Xiaoying, is this your boyfriend? He is so handsome! You aren't young anymore, it's about time you found a suitable man and got married."

"That's right! If you don't find someone soon, when you grow old you'll end up as lonely and helpless as us with no one to look after you."

The old men and women teased Zhou Nianying with gleeful smiles. Zhou Nianying stuck out her tongue and retorted, "I won't! I'm so pretty, there are plenty of people lining up to chase me."

"By the way, where is Granny Mei? Where did she go?"

"Her? At most she's out there soaking up the sun, where else could she be?" One of the elderly women pointed toward a corner in the distance.

Looking in that direction, Zhou Nianying spotted Granny Mei right away and her face lit up with joy.

After having Lin Feng distribute some of the fruit they brought to the grandpas and grandmas on site, she led him over to find Granny Mei.

This Granny Mei was the elderly resident Zhou Nianying always visited whenever she came here, and the "Flying Dragon and Dancing Phoenix Jade Ring" recovered yesterday happened to be the item she had lost.

"Granny Mei, sunbathing all by yourself? Look what I've brought you?"

Walking up to her, Zhou Nianying deliberately hid behind Granny Mei, holding up the jade ring to give the old woman a pleasant surprise.

The old woman was startled for a moment. Turning around to see Zhou Nianying, a radiant smile bloomed across her face as she said, "So it's you, Xiaoying. You little rascal, you've even learned how to startle people now."

"Could this be... did you really manage to find my lost jade ring?"

When Granny Mei caught sight of her jade ring, her entire expression turned exceptionally delighted.

Tugging at Lin Feng, Zhou Nianying introduced him, "Yes, Granny Mei! It was this friend of mine who helped you find it. You must properly thank him."

"Oh? Is that so? This young man actually found it? May I ask what this young man's name is? Is he your newly found boyfriend?" Glancing at the handsome Lin Feng and looking him up and down, Granny Mei asked Zhou Nianying.

"Him? Yes, that's right, he's my boyfriend. We've just started dating."

Zhou Nianying had originally intended to tell the truth, but suddenly remembering something, she changed her words on the spot.

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, casting a bewildered look her way!
