Twenty stars
Lin Tang was startled and hurriedly closed the cupboard. The moment she turned around and saw who was coming, she breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her hands and said cunningly, "Nothing, just looking around, your kitchen is quite big."
She laughed twice. If she stayed any longer, she would be exposed. She was about to leave when she heard him say, "Are you hungry?"
She was startled, her gaze fell back on Feng Yunjing, she paused, and asked, "You're not planning to sue me, are you?"
Feng Yunjing chuckled softly, as if afraid that the noise here would be heard by others, so she said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'm hungry too, we can do it secretly."
Lin Tang raised his eyebrows hesitantly: "We?"
Facts have proved that the indigenous people really know their home better.
Feng Yunjing found a few packets of noodles from somewhere and asked Lin Tang to help him keep an eye on them. He cooked the midnight snack in no time.
Because they were afraid of being discovered, they divided the food into two portions and brought them to the dining table without leaving any.
Lin Tang didn't eat much at night, and she was very hungry at the moment. Everything she ate seemed delicious.
Seeing her eating mouthful after mouthful without stopping, Feng Yunjing curled his lips and took a mouthful of noodles. Suddenly, he looked up again, "Why did you come down here alone to find food?"
He said it tactfully, but it was not difficult for Lin Tang to understand what he meant - how could he abandon you.
But Lin Tang felt that this midnight snack was hers, and it seemed to have nothing to do with Feng Chibai. Besides, she swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said with difficulty, "He is my husband after all. It's not good to always say bad things about him in front of me."
She said this jokingly, not in anger. But thinking carefully, she realized that she was violating the so-called "breaking family rules." Feng Chibai was still a member of the Feng family, with many people watching. If he didn't do it well, he would easily be criticized. But in such situations, he still went along with her a few times.
Thinking of this, Lin Tang couldn't help but feel touched and wanted to say a few good words for him: "Besides, he is actually quite considerate."
But just as she said this, she suddenly realized the relationship between the man in front of her and Feng Chibai. Saying this in front of him didn't seem right. Lin Tang was confused for a moment, then hurried to smooth things over: "Hey, not entirely... Wait... Forget it... Just pretend I didn't say anything."
After stumbling for a long time, she couldn't think of any other excuse, so she chose to give up.
Feng Yunjing just smiled and was silent for a moment before replying, "Well, except to me."
Lin Tang pursed her lips, feeling somewhat guilty for having said the wrong thing. She took a deep breath and soothed him, "I know it's irrational to say that, but perhaps, talking nicely can lead to reconciliation."
After all, from an observer's perspective, the fault lies with the parents and they are all innocent.
Feng Yunjing lowered his eyes and suddenly sneered, his eyes suddenly becoming dazed. "Then let's talk about it in the next life, because in this life... I owe him something very important."
His voice was very soft, more like he was talking to himself. Seeing Lin Tang was stunned, he pretended to be calm and changed the subject, "Eat quickly, don't get caught later."
In the room.
Feng Chibai was sitting on the sofa looking through documents, but his mind was not there. He would pick up his phone from time to time to check.
But I never saw her send me a message.
He closed the document, sat quietly for a while, and decided to go downstairs to see what was going on.
The restaurant was right next to the escalator. When he had only a few steps left to go down, he heard some faint sounds of talking and laughing coming from inside.
You can also tell who the voice comes from.
He stood there for a moment, choosing not to go any further. When he turned around and was about to go back to his room, he suddenly heard a voice: "He is actually quite considerate."
His body reacted before his brain did, and he curled his lips uncontrollably without stopping.
Back in his room, he didn't bother looking at the documents anymore. He felt sleepy, but he just sat on the sofa and closed his eyes for a while.
After a long time, the sound of the door opening was heard. He opened his eyes and looked over calmly.
When she was fully in his field of vision, he asked knowingly, "Did you have your midnight snack?"
Lin Tang felt relaxed after eating. He twisted his shoulders and said comfortably, "Don't worry, the crime scene is well cleaned up. You won't be implicated."
I accidentally glanced at the time on the wall clock and it was already past eleven o'clock.
She sat down next to Feng Chibai and jokingly asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for me?"
Feng Chibai said calmly, "I'm not used to sleeping with the lights on."
He then stood up and walked to the bed, as if telling her with his actions that now that he was back, she should turn off the lights and go to bed early.
Lin Tang didn't waste any time. He washed up and lay down on the bed.
Because she had just eaten, she wasn't very sleepy at the moment. In silence, she recalled the scene when she just came back. Knowing that he was still asleep, she couldn't help but say, "Feng Chibai, you are such a coward. They accused you so much, and you still swallowed your anger."
Feng Chibai opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his voice still flat: "I just think there's no need to waste time arguing with people who can't agree with you."
"Then I won't." Lin Tang's tone rose a little, with a hint of disdain, "I insist on saying it until I feel relieved."
Suddenly, she turned over, her back facing the ceiling, and supported herself on the bed with her arms to look at Feng Chibai. After staring at him for a few seconds, she asked again, "You won't curse?"
"Very little." Feng Chibai glanced at her and answered truthfully.
Lin Tang said "oh" and lay down again.
Just as I was about to concentrate on sleeping, the person next to me unexpectedly asked, "Lin Tang, do you think I'm boring?"
Lin Tang smiled, feeling that this was not a question he would normally ask: "What? Did you become autistic because you were called autistic?"
"Don't worry, their words won't be enough to discourage me."
Lin Tang followed up on his words: "Then you are quite strong."
The room fell silent.
After a long silence, she said, "No,"
This is the answer to the question just now.
Feng Chibai hummed, "Good night."
*
On the old man's eightieth birthday, the banquet was grand, with almost everyone he had ever dealt with in business during his youth coming to congratulate him. But for Lin Tang's sake, no reporters or media were invited.
After all, their marriage was not officially announced to the public, and only a few close friends knew about it.
Because of their status, they spend most of their time under the media's scrutiny. However, Lin Tang is different. Although he has given several interviews, the focus is more on his research projects, and they are simply categorized as people who have contributed to the country, with little focus on the individuals themselves. Therefore, they are also worried about the impact of this matter going public.
Lin Tang has been busy with work recently, so he waited until after get off work to go to the lounge to change into his dinner clothes.
Even the fitting process was skipped, and Feng Chibai was asked to just pick out something comfortable for her.
However, when the clothes were put on, although they fit well, they didn't seem very comfortable, and my body felt restrained from time to time.
Feng Chibai even asked someone to help her with her makeup. After all, this was a banquet where she would have to show herself in public, and he would never let her appear in front of everyone casually.
When she was finally putting on her lipstick, the door of the lounge was suddenly opened and a little girl, about two or three years old, whom she had never seen before, ran in.
The little girl didn't seem to expect that there would be someone here. She stood there awkwardly, leaning against the wall.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and perhaps remembering the etiquette, the little girl clenched her hands and said in a soft voice, "Hello, sister."
She was cute and lovable. Lin Tang's tone was unusually gentle: "Why did you come in?"
The little girl stared at her blankly, as if she was shy, and said weakly, "I'm looking for my dad."
Looking for dad?
Lin Tang was a little confused and was about to ask who her father was when another person walked in from the door.
It is Fengchibai.
The moment their eyes met, Feng Chibai subconsciously looked her over.
The glacier-blue cheongsam, printed with delicate bamboo leaves, fitted her perfectly, its waist-cinching design showcasing her curves. Her hair was tied low with a hairpin, and she wore a touch of light makeup, masking any aggression she might have harbored, lending her an inexplicably cool and distant air.
After just one glance, Feng Chibai was the first to look away.
When the little girl saw Feng Chibai coming, she felt like she had finally found someone she knew, and she hurried over to hug his thighs.
Thinking of what the little girl had said just now, Lin Tang couldn't help but think of something else. After a pause, she pointed at Feng Chibai and asked the little girl in surprise, "Your father?"
Feng Chibai: "..."
The little girl naturally became bolder in speaking because she knew someone around. She shook her head and said in a soft voice, "This is my uncle."
Feng Chibai brought the little girl to sit on the sofa and whispered, "Wenwen, stay here for a while. Your mother will be here soon."
Then he walked up to Lin Tang, looked down at her bare feet, and asked, "Where are your shoes?"
Lin Tang pointed to the silver high heels placed on the table and explained, "I just finished putting on my makeup and haven't had time to put them on yet."
Feng Chibai glanced at her, then walked over and held the shoes in front of her. He half-knelt down, pulled out a box from his pocket and handed it to her, "Put the ring on first."
Lin Tang said "oh" and did as he was told.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of large hands gripping her feet. She lowered her head and found Feng Chibai helping her put on her shoes. She froze for a moment, and just as she was about to say she could do it herself, the door opened again.
A woman who looked a few years older than them walked in, followed by Feng Siru and Old Man Feng.
Lin Tang immediately understood everything. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Isn't this your purpose?"
Feng Chibai didn't raise his eyes. He calmly continued to help her put on the other shoe and corrected her: "That's our goal."
When the little girl named Wenwen saw her mother coming, she immediately got up from the sofa and ran over to be hugged by her mother.
Lin Tang glanced at him cautiously out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Who is that?"
Feng Chibai explained: "Wen Jin, grandma's sister's granddaughter, is considered your cousin."
After putting on his shoes, Feng Chibai stood up and did not forget to help Lin Tang up.
Wen Jin had a kind face. Seeing what had just happened, he smiled and joked with the old man, "What a good relationship."
The old man was also satisfied and felt that Feng Chibai was quite aware, so he nodded with satisfaction.
The two men were about to walk towards the old man, but just as they took a step, Lin Tang's foot twisted uncontrollably.
It was her first time wearing high heels, and she was not mentally prepared. As soon as she started walking, her true form was exposed. She subconsciously grabbed Feng Chibai's arm and held it tightly to prevent him from taking a step beyond her.
After he stabilized, he pulled him forward again.
Feng Chibai hadn't expected this either. She took a deep breath and walked slowly, trying her best to keep her balance.
When they reached the old man and Wen Jin, Wen Jin teased Wen Wen in his arms and asked, "Wen Wen, call me auntie."
Wen Wen half huddled on Wen Jin's shoulder and shouted in cooperation.
Suddenly, he looked at Lin Tang for a moment and stretched out his hand for her to hug him.
Lin Tang was stunned. She had no experience holding a child and her hands were very stiff, but she still pretended to be calm and hugged the little girl who reached out her hand to her.
Fortunately, Wenwen was very well behaved and didn't twist and turn restlessly. She seemed to think Lin Tang was pretty, so she timidly and boldly hid in her arms and peeked at her. Then, unexpectedly, she kissed her on the side of her cheek.
Lin Tang's pupils shrank, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a tingling sensation.
Today was the old man's birthday party, so he was in a good mood to begin with. Seeing this scene, he was so happy that he pointed at Wen Wen and said, "The little girl is quite capable."
He looked at Feng Chibai and Lin Tang and said expectantly, "I wonder when I can become a great-grandfather?"
When the old man said this, Wenwen stuck her head out again and looked at Lin Tang with her round eyes without blinking.
Lin Tangxin was immediately softened by the look, and without thinking twice, he replied directly: "I will definitely accept it!"
Feng Chibai: "..."
She had previously considered various emergency plans in case of being exposed, but now it seemed that they would be useless. She seemed to be putting herself in the situation.
Because the dinner was about to begin, the old man, as the main character, couldn't stay away all the time, so he left after a short while. Wen Jin also took Wen Wen back and followed him downstairs.
Many people came today, and Lin Tang naturally wanted to avoid embarrassing himself in such an occasion, so he followed Feng Chibai closely, never letting go of his hand. Sometimes, when he walked too fast, Lin Tang would immediately pull him back and remind him, "Don't leave me alone. It's so embarrassing if you fall in public."
Being restrained by her and having no other choice, Feng Chibai could only hold back his anger and laugh.
During their conversation, someone suddenly approached. But that person seemed to ignore Feng Chibai, not even glancing at him. Instead, he greeted Lin Tang and complimented him, "Lin Tang, you look really good today."
Lin Tang was about to reply when the person next to him suddenly interrupted, "Fourth brother, maybe it would be more polite to call me sister-in-law."
