Chapter 54 You don't want to do it with me in this room during the rainy season? ...

On the way home after the party, the atmosphere was somber.

Lin Fei scrutinized Liang Yanzhe several times, unable to fathom his thoughts.

Was he sad or happy about his grandmother's passing?

But she doesn't look happy at all.

The light ahead was red, so the car stopped with the flow of traffic.

"If you want to see," Liang Yanzhe said, freeing one hand and pressing it on Lin Fei's head, "you can see it openly and honestly."

"I..." Lin Fei coughed a few times, embarrassed. "Do I need you to remind me? Of course, I'm looking at my husband openly and honestly."

Lin Fei glanced at the traffic light, estimating it would be another minute before it turned green. He deftly unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to kiss Liang Yanzhe on the cheek.

"Not only do I want to look, I also want to kiss you," she declared domineeringly.

Before Liang Yanzhe could react, Lin Fei shrank back to her position. He quickly stopped her, cupping the back of her head with his large hand and giving her a light kiss on the corner of her lips.

Lin Fei may be bold, but once he was flirted with, he blushed instantly.

"You are mine too."

"Kiss them too."

Liang Yanzhe looked at her with a smile.

The green light popped up, and Liang Yanzhe let go, thoughtfully saying, "Fasten your seatbelt."

"Oh..." Lin Fei sat back down in a daze.

As the car entered the underground parking garage, Lin Fei was still reeling from the kiss.

The two entered the elevator.

Lin Fei questioned, "Who did you learn that from?"

"Who else can I learn from? The best teacher is right here beside me." Liang Yanzhe put his arm around her waist. "Teacher Lin, what do you think?"

That calling him "Teacher Lin" was a foul.

Lin Fei really wanted to kiss him.

He kissed her before she could make a move.

The elevator reached the floor it was going to, and a second before the doors opened, he released her and returned to his original position.

Apart from the lipstick that had been eaten off her lips, nothing seemed wrong.

Once inside, Lin Fei kicked off her shoes, hugged his neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist, making it clear through her actions that she wanted him.

Liang Yanzhe supported Lin Fei's waist, "Shunshun is still watching."

"She's still young, she doesn't know." Lin Fei kissed his chin. "Daddy's body hair management is really good."

Not only does he have stubble, but he also manages his body hair on his lower abdomen very well.

"Didn't you say you were taking today off?" Liang Yanzhe brushed aside her hair, allowing him to see her face more clearly.

"What can I do? I really want to do it with you." Lin Fei licked his Adam's apple, which bobbed up and down. "Don't you want to?"

How could he not want her? She had a fatal attraction for him.

Avoiding Shunshun, the two returned to the bedroom.

Lin Fei had never had a passionate romance during her student days, so she didn't understand why Tu Xia would go to He Jingshi's apartment whenever she had free time at night. Back then, she just thought it was a hassle, and with her studies so demanding, she had no energy to think about anything else.

Tu Xia said that if the other person is someone she likes, she won't consider whether it's troublesome or not; she just wants to spend the limited time with them.

She silently replied to herself, "No, it won't happen."

Fortunately, she never really boasted about herself, and now she can fully understand Tu Xia's feelings.

Being with Liang Yanzhe, even if they do nothing—no, they have plenty of energy, so they should make love to their hearts' content.

Liang Yanzhe was somewhat helpless against Lin Fei. She was the one who did it, but afterwards she was also the one who complained that she wanted to die.

Lin Fei stood in front of the mirror and saw the exaggerated bite marks on her thigh. She said, "This part is numb."

"Come here, I'll put your medicine in." Liang Yanzhe stood by the bed waiting for her.

Lin Fei supported her lower back and lay down directly. Unlike the first time, she was no longer embarrassed and just wanted to quickly apply the medicine to relieve the soreness.

Liang Yanzhe's technique was so comfortable that Lin Fei unknowingly fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Liang Yanzhe had finished exercising and was changing clothes in the dressing room after taking a shower.

"Good morning." He came out of the dressing room, tying his tie.

Lin Fei felt that the sexiness of him tying a tie and doing manual labor were the same.

Her nails were neatly trimmed, her fingers were long and slender with prominent bones, and thin calluses clung to her large knuckles, making her look good no matter what she did.

"Dr. Liang, your hands must look really beautiful when you perform surgery," Lin Fei blurted out out of the blue.

Liang Yanzhe pondered for a moment and replied seriously, "I'm not sure if it's good to watch. There are surgical videos, but I suggest you don't watch them. The scenes are bloody and may cause discomfort."

"I was just talking nonsense." Lin Fei snuggled back into bed. "It's just something to indulge in in my mind."

Liang Yanzhe sat on the edge of the bed and took Lin Fei's hand, which was outside the blanket. "I'm going back to Hong Kong tonight."

Before he could finish explaining, she sat up and said, "Take me with you."

"Aren't you in business talks with the milk tea company lately?" Liang Yanzhe had considered bringing her along, but this collaboration with the milk tea company was a great promotional opportunity for her shop, and he hoped she could devote herself fully to it and not let other things distract her.

Lin Fei: "We can discuss the details online. If the cooperation is confirmed, we will meet again to finalize the contract, so it won't cause any delays."

Liang Yanzhe: "Okay, let's go back together. We might see a lot of relatives, so please bear with us."

"No problem." Lin Fei stood up and pushed Liang Yanzhe out the door. "You can go to work with peace of mind. Leave the booking of tickets and packing to me."

Liang Yanzhe's flight was at 9 p.m., but he had an emergency surgery and couldn't go home in time, so the two arranged to meet at the airport.

During the nearly two-hour flight, Lin Fei forced Liang Yanzhe to take a nap and make the most of the time to rest.

Her concerns were valid. When the plane landed in the port, Liang Yanyi personally came to pick them up. After exchanging greetings, they discussed business.

Zhou Hui also came along, while Lin Fei and he lagged a few steps behind the siblings, which made it easier for them to inquire about the current situation.

"Why do you look like you haven't had enough sleep? Did you keep watch?" Lin Fei handed over a box of mints. "Have one to perk you up."

Zhou Hui ate one and sighed, "The house is a complete mess, there's no time to sleep."

"Did other relatives come to make trouble?" Lin Fei asked with a somewhat spectator's attitude.

Zhou Hui thought the candy tasted good and popped two more into his mouth: "Grandma was still conscious when she passed away, and in less than two days, she's already caused trouble three times. My uncles and aunts made a fuss over getting a bigger share of the inheritance, the board members came once, and the lawyer made another fuss when he announced the will. They're driving me crazy."

"That's too much." Lin Fei suddenly felt that it was better to have a smaller family.

Zhou Hui slumped his shoulders: "I reckon there will be another uproar. The position of director of Liang's Group was handed over to Xiao Yi, and several of my uncles are not satisfied."

He suddenly put on a sour face: "What's there to be dissatisfied with! My wife has worked diligently and been the president for five years. They just sit there and collect their bonuses without doing anything. Now they want to hold onto power and continue to boss my wife around. Bah!"

"Is calling Dr. Liang back for a vote?" Lin Fei wasn't quite sure about the company's internal situation.

“You got it right. Big Brother got a lot of shares. With him back to oversee things, Xiao Yi’s chances of winning will be even greater.” Zhou Hui yawned. “I can’t stay up any longer. I need to get a good night’s sleep tonight.”

Liang Yanyi and Liang Yanzhe rode in one car, while Lin Fei and Zhou Hui rode in another, leaving them space.

There are still many things to deal with. After seeing them off, Liang Yanyi will continue to be busy.

Zhou Hui fell asleep in another car, so Liang Yanyi asked the driver to take him home while she returned to her company.

"Xiao Yi is working too hard, it breaks my heart," Lin Fei sighed.

Liang Yanzhe held a stack of documents in his hand, which Liang Yanyi had just given him. He said, "Some of her work has been transferred to me. Can I get some compensation?"

"As the older brother, it's only right." Lin Fei patted his arm affectionately. "Dr. Liang, keep it up. After all, you have quite a few shares. If you don't want to work anymore in the future, these dividends will be enough to live a life of luxury."

Lin Fei wasn't just saying it; he meant it.

After returning home, she washed up and went to bed without disturbing Liang Yanzhe, who was busy in the study.

-

When Lin Fei woke up, Liang Yanzhe had already left home; there was a shareholders' meeting today.

Zhou Hui also has important matters to attend to. Now is a crucial moment, and he needs to make his presence felt on screen, which is also indirectly helping Liang Yanyi gain the support of shareholders.

Zhong Shuyu was well-informed; she not only learned that Lin Fei had returned to Gangdu, but also came directly to her home.

Lin Fei took a bottle of orange juice that she had bought last night from the refrigerator and put it on the table: "There's nothing at home, please bear with me."

When the wealthy heiress Zhong Shuyu first encountered this situation, the host offered her orange juice bought from a convenience store. "You should go home and stay here. What kind of life are you living?" the host said.

"If you don't want to drink it, that's fine." Lin Fei reached out to take it.

Zhong Shuyu shielded herself, quickly disassembled the straw, inserted it, and took a big gulp: "It's all my saliva, do you want more?"

Lin Fei had no intention of drinking; he was just trying to provoke her.

"What do you want from me? I'm very busy," Lin Fei yawned.

Zhong Shuyu sneered: "You haven't even changed out of your pajamas, and you call that being busy?"

Lin Fei: "I have a video conference this afternoon."

“You said last time that you wanted to meet people in the fashion industry, I can introduce you to some.” Zhong Shuyu crossed her arms and proudly raised her chin. Today she was wearing a light purple Chanel-style suit, looking just like the white cat with the big bow in Tom and Jerry.

Lin Fei hadn't told Zhong Shuyu, "You were secretly looking at my WeChat Moments?"

"What do you mean by peeping! I have your friend, I'm watching openly and honestly!" The cat bristled, losing its elegance.

Lin Fei was curious: "Oh? Who should I be introduced to?"

"Lin Shufei, can't you at least show some attitude when asking for a favor?" Zhong Shuyu clenched her fists, suppressing her anger.

Lin Fei said politely, "May I ask which big shot Miss Zhong, who is she going to introduce to me? Could you tell me so I can make some preparations?"

Although it was an act, Zhong Shuyu was very satisfied: "Do you remember Lin Manzhi? The Lin sisters we met in the cruise ship's small restaurant that day, the one wearing a cheongsam was Lin Manzhi. She runs a clothing design studio and also has a lot of intangible cultural heritage series clothing, hand-woven Zhuang brocade, which is not cheap. It would be best to cooperate with a studio with her style."

"Wait a minute," Lin Fei called out. "I wouldn't be surprised if you introduced me to Lin Manyin or Liang Yanzhe today. Didn't you speak ill of them before? And now you're connecting with me?"

"Didn't you tell me to use my own eyes to judge people? Don't follow the crowd, don't believe everything you hear." Zhong Shuyu was quite angry. "I put in a lot of effort to get this connection for you."

Lin Fei could use her connections to contact Lin Manzhi, but she was more than grateful that someone had offered her a pillow when she was sleepy.

"My Shuyu has been smart, beautiful and sensible since she was little. It's a blessing from my past life that I can be her sister." Lin Fei's words of praise came easily.

Zhong Shuyu coughed: "That's an exaggeration."

"It's no exaggeration, you are indeed beautiful and kind-hearted." Lin Fei's words came from the bottom of her heart.

Zhong Shuyu was secretly pleased, but still maintained her noble demeanor: "Alright, I've invited her to dinner at the newly opened ferry restaurant tonight. You can come along."

"No problem." Lin Fei stood up. "Before that, I'll treat you to dinner."

Lin Fei not only treated her to a meal, but also bought Zhong Shuyu a bottle of perfume. She was overjoyed, and as soon as the sales assistant finished packing it, she posted it on her WeChat Moments.

The caption read: "A gift from my older sister."

"Is that what we're like? Are we that close?" Lin Fei asked deliberately.

Zhong Shuyu's smile froze, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Lin Shufei, don't dampen my spirits when I'm happy, or I really will hit you!"

"Alright, alright, go back and rest for a bit now. I'll come find you after my video conference." Lin Fei soothed the easily agitated and proud cat.

Zhong Shuyu: "Come to my apartment, feel free to use the study."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. To prevent the study from getting dusty, I'll take pity on you and use it for a bit." Lin Fei also wanted to save himself the trouble of making another trip.

The video conference was to confirm the contract details, and Lin Fei had a lawyer review it for him.

The milk tea company decided to accept all five patterns for the collaboration, offering postcards as a gift. However, they requested that the company create a new pattern as an exclusive design for the collaboration, and that the same design not be sold to others later.

When Lin Fei saw the amount of the joint venture, she felt like she was about to become rich. She silently counted the number of zeros several times to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

To avoid revealing his lack of worldliness, he remained calm and only shouted a few words of joy at the end of the video.

After the initial joy, Lin Fei called Ying Shuiying, asking her to design a new Zhuang brocade pattern. He also made several demands and quoted a five-figure design fee before she could object. After a few seconds of silence, she accepted.

With a major matter on her mind, Lin Fei and Zhong Shuyu went to the ferry to meet the two Lin sisters.

Lin Manzhi had the same quiet and elegant demeanor as Lin Fei had felt when they first met. She wore a light green cheongsam, and her long, wavy hair was loosely tied with a flowing ribbon. A few strands of hair fell around her cheeks, and her features were deep and striking, a typical Hong Kong-style beauty.

Lin Manyin, standing next to her, has more heroic features, giving her a different kind of charm.

The two sisters are two different colors, each with their own unique characteristics.

"Nice to meet you." Lin Fei extended his hand to the two of them.

Lin Man hesitated for a second, then shook hands with him, smiling faintly: "Miss Lin, you're too kind."

Lin Fei could tell that the other person was the type to speak frankly and directly, without beating around the bush. After exchanging pleasantries, they got straight to the point once the dishes were served.

Instead of directly discussing the collaboration, Lin Fei said, "I've seen your work and really like your OL intangible cultural heritage series. I'd like to order two sets from you, but I'd like to use Zhuang brocade woven by my grandmother. What do you think?"

"You're doing custom orders with me? Aren't we supposed to be discussing a collaboration?" Lin Manzhi asked, puzzled. They were supposed to be discussing a collaboration today, so how did it turn into her doing business with Lin Fei?

Lin Fei held up the juice in his hand: "There's no rush for cooperation. When you have the chance to come to Jiangdu, I'll take you to visit our weaving workshop, and we can talk in detail then. Consider today as an introduction."

“Great! I haven’t been there yet, but I’ll have time next month.” Lin Manzhi was tired of traveling between Beijing and Gangdu, and was very much looking forward to the trip to Jiangdu.

The clinking of glasses signifies a consensus.

Zhong Shuyu grew anxious and repeatedly gave Lin Fei meaningful glances.

What a great atmosphere! The Lin sisters are all here. Why don't you hurry up and finalize the collaboration?

The two Lin sisters left midway through the event to go to the restroom.

"Why not just finalize the cooperation? What a great opportunity!" Zhong Shuyu grabbed Lin Fei's shoulder and shook him.

Lin Fei leaned back, escaping the clutches: "Blind cooperation is not good for either party. Lin Manzhi must have learned about Zhuang brocade before coming, but she may not understand my business model. If we can conduct an on-site inspection, it will be good for both of us."

Moreover, she genuinely wants to achieve a long-term partnership; good things take time and cannot be rushed.

“Alright, I’ll go to Jiangdu next month too.” Zhong Shuyu stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth. “I’ll have to keep an eye on things for you.”

"Okay! Thank you, Miss Zhong." Lin Fei poured her some juice.

Zhong Shuyu: "That sounds sarcastic. I'm the second oldest, so don't call me that."

"The Zhong family ranks men and women together?" Lin Fei had never heard of that.

Zhong Shuyu asked angrily, "You're first in line, and I'm second, isn't that right?!"

"Yes, yes, I was talking nonsense." Lin Fei refilled the juice. "Don't argue with me, getting angry is bad for your health."

Zhong Shuyu drank the entire glass of juice before her anger subsided.

Around 10:30, Lin Manzhi's husband came to pick her up and left first.

Zhong Shuyu was very irritable today, drank a lot of cold juice, and stayed in the toilet for a long time.

Only Lin Manyin and Lin Fei remained at the dinner table.

"Mrs. Liang is gone, and the results of today's meeting are out. From now on, Xiao Yi will be in charge. Are you and Mr. Liang going to settle down in Hong Kong?" Lin Manyin was quite looking forward to living in the same city as Lin Fei, feeling that it would be very interesting.

Lin Fei: "Jiangdu is fine, I don't have any other plans for the time being."

"Lin Fei, I really admire you." Lin Manyin smiled gently. "You did what I most wanted to do but didn't dare to do."

Lin Fei understood the implied meaning but showed no dissatisfaction. Instead, he asked with a smile, "What was Liang Yanzhe like during his student days?"

"He fulfilled all the fantasies of teenage girls: good-looking, good at studying, good-natured, understanding, and sensible." Lin Manyin recalled, "I knew he didn't love playing the piano, but when he practiced in the music room, the lush green camphor leaves outside the window were shining. It was the most beautiful scene I had ever seen during my youth."

"Will you... regret it?" Lin Fei paused for a moment.

Lin Manyin shook her head: "Although I was young at the time, I was very rational. The living environment he was in was one I dared not set foot in, and I had no confidence that I could pull him out of the swamp. Maybe... I would get stuck in it myself."

“Mr. Liang and I are the same kind of people, because even I am fascinated by your sincerity and openness, so it is destined that we can never become lovers.”

Lin Fei touched Lin Manyin's cup with his own: "Consider your last sentence as an expression of your affection for me."

"Can we be friends?" Lin Manyin genuinely wanted to be friends with Lin Fei. Lin Fei: "Please take care of me."

The two were laughing happily when Zhong Shuyu returned, clutching her stomach.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

Lin Fei: "Miss Lin praised you for being warm and generous, and said she likes you very much."

Lin Manyin nodded in agreement.

"Ahem... Stop flattering me, it's getting late, let's go back." Zhong Shuyu suppressed her little bit of smugness and put on a serious expression.

-

When Lin Fei arrived home, the house was pitch black. Liang Yanzhe, who was sitting in front of the French windows, startled her.

"Why aren't the lights on?" Lin Fei put down her handbag, too lazy to turn on the lights, and walked over to sit on Liang Yanzhe's lap.

Liang Yanzhe looked at the night view outside the window: "Where did you go today?"

"You came back and didn't see me, so you were sad and forgot to turn on the lights?" Lin Fei asked jokingly.

Liang Yanzhe gave a soft "hmm": "I thought I'd see you when I got home."

A lot must have happened today; I could tell he was feeling down.

Lin Fei guessed, "You were sad because you didn't get to see your grandma one last time?"

“No, I said we wouldn’t see each other again, and we never will,” Liang Yanzhe said slowly. “I’m not sad, I feel relieved. It’s just that I’ve lived like this for thirty years, and I feel a little lost after this relief.”

Lin Fei propped himself up on his shoulders, his eyes filled with determination: "Dr. Liang, from today onwards, every day will be a good day."

Liang Yanzhe smiled with relief and stroked her long hair: "Yes, every day is a good day."

"Congratulations! You're about to embark on a wonderful life with Fei Wen." Lin Fei pressed his hand against Liang Yanzhe's lips. "Smile, cheer up."

Liang Yanzhe shook off the gloom in his heart and chuckled, "Stop fooling around."

Lin Fei suddenly leaned very close, staring intently at Liang Yanzhe, and asked, "Liang Yanzhe, why don't you want to make love with me in this room?"
