Lin Tingfeng put his phone back in his pocket and said to Ye Wenyu, "Then I won't give it to you." There was a mischievous smile in his eyes.
"You bastard—" Ye Wenyu stomped her foot in anger, but Lin Tingfeng had already walked ahead laughing loudly. Ye Wenyu was a little stunned when she heard his hearty laughter; he rarely seemed to laugh so loudly.
When I first met him, his face was blank, like a stone, without any expression. If I had to say he had an expression, it would be weariness, a weariness that made me feel a little sorry for him. Later, after we got together, the corners of his mouth would occasionally turn up. Now that the two of them are together, he smiles more and more often, and now he even laughs out loud.
Does she really have such great magic? No wonder President Lin treats her as his darling.
Lost in thought, she heard Lin Tingfeng calling her name from outside. She had no choice but to hurriedly answer and rush out.
Sitting in Lin Tingfeng's black Mercedes, the car drove towards the Lin family's old residence. As the distance grew shorter, Ye Wenyu's heart became increasingly nervous. Her face turned pale, her palms sweated, and even her breathing became rapid.
Lin Tingfeng spoke to her, but she seemed not to hear him. Lin Tingfeng then noticed that she was getting nervous again. He cleared his throat and said to her, "Are you worried? Both of my children are in school. One of them has been abroad for a long time and will not be coming back for the time being, or may never come back. My brother is not at home either, and my sister is at school. So my parents are at home, and the rest are domestic helpers."
Ye Wenyu nodded, feeling a little relieved knowing she wasn't facing a large family. Lin Tingfeng freed one hand and took hers. Ye Wenyu smiled gratefully at him, feeling much more at ease.
She wondered why she was so nervous. It wasn't like she was about to marry into the Lin family. She was just accompanying Lin Tingfeng to meet the elders to make her happy.
Upon arriving at the Lin family's old residence, Lin Tingfeng parked the car in the garage, opened the passenger door, and let Ye Wenyu out. Servants had already come out to greet them upon hearing the car. Lin Tingfeng took Ye Wenyu's hand, nodded slightly to the servants, and led her inside.
Ye Wenyu didn't want Lin Tingfeng to hold her hand, but he held on so firmly that he seemed unwilling to let go. Helpless, she had no choice but to let him hold her hand. However, when the servants of the Lin family saw how affectionate they were, they still smiled and treated her with great courtesy and politeness. They did not look down on her because of her status. Ye Wenyu couldn't help but think that big families were different; even their servants were very well-mannered.
The Lin family's old house is naturally very beautiful. Although it was once ridiculed for its garden being a hybrid of Chinese and Western styles, the hybridity has its own unique beauty. The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, vying for attention, and the large swimming pool is like a blue mirror.
As soon as I stepped into the living room on the first floor, I heard a loving voice say, "Feng'er, you're back."
Ye Wenyu became nervous. She mustered her courage and looked up, only to see a beautiful young woman coming down from the second floor. Upon seeing Ye Wenyu, she immediately went up to her warmly and said kindly, "This must be Xiaoyu. You are indeed very beautiful."
Ye Wenyu looked at her and asked, "Sister, where is Lin Tingfeng's mother?"
The young woman was taken aback. Lin Tingfeng laughed and tightened his grip on Ye Wenyu's hand.
The young woman was also very happy, her face beaming with joy. She said somewhat shyly, "I am his mother."
What? How is that possible?
Ye Wenyu's eyes widened in shock. The beautiful young woman in front of him looked to be no more than forty years old. Because Lin Tingfeng was almost forty, he had always thought that his mother was sixty years old and must be white-haired and wrinkled.
Seeing Ye Wenyu's shock, Lin Tingfeng's mother was even happier. She took Ye Wenyu's hand and sat down on the sofa in the living room, saying to her affectionately, "This child, before she even said a word, has already made me so happy."
Lin Tingfeng sat smiling on the other side of his mother. Servants brought out snacks and fruit, and brewed the finest jasmine tea. He sat beside her, slowly peeling a tangerine for her. Having taken off his suit jacket, he looked as handsome as a fairy from a painting in his white shirt.
The house was beautifully decorated, resplendent in gold.
However, none of the shocks could compare to the astonishment of Lin Tingfeng's mother being so young and beautiful.
Ye Wenyu blinked, looking at Lin Tingfeng's mother. She looked at her again and again. Lin Tingfeng did look very much like her. The two had strikingly similar facial features. But how could she still look so young? Her skin was fair and firm, and her face was without wrinkles. Only her beautiful big eyes lacked the vibrancy of youth, but instead exuded gentleness and peace.
A beauty like that, if she went out, would surely make a lot of men swoon.
Although her eyes weren't as dark and bright as a young person's, overall she was still a great beauty.
"Sister—" Ye Wenyu dared not look at Lin Tingfeng's mother again.
Lin Tingfeng's mother burst into laughter, feeling extremely relieved. She took Ye Wenyu's hand and shook it, saying to her, "Call her Auntie—"
Ye Wenyu blushed, feeling it was extremely inappropriate to call such a young and beautiful woman "Auntie." However, fearing the woman's anger and remembering that she was indeed Lin Tingfeng's mother, she could only nod and softly say, "Hello, Auntie—"
"Yes—" Lin Tingfeng's mother responded happily, glanced at Ye Wenyu, waved away the servants attending to her, and said gently to her, "Tingfeng has told me about your situation. My greatest wish in this life is that my precious son can find a girl he loves and who truly loves him. Ideally, this girl should be smart and capable, someone he can walk hand in hand with in the future. Now that I see he has found you, I am so happy. This is a gift from your aunt, please take it—"
Lin Tingfeng's mother handed over a small red square brocade box, but Ye Wenyu immediately shook her head and said, "Auntie, this is too precious, I can't accept it."
Her mind replayed Lin Tingfeng's mother's words: "My greatest wish in this life is that my precious son can find a girl he loves and who truly loves him. Ideally, this girl should be smart and capable, someone he can walk hand in hand with in the future. Now that I see he has found you, I am so happy." These were clearly words spoken to her daughter-in-law, but not to her. This aunt was very strange. Why did the Lin family, apart from Lin Tingxuan, collectively ignore the woman who had been married into the family long ago and had given birth to two children for Lin Tingfeng?
Seeing that Ye Wenyu refused to accept his mother's gift and that his mother seemed somewhat displeased, Lin Tingfeng gently said to Ye Wenyu, "You can accept it."
