Chapter 701: Chapter 701 The Soft-Spoken Fairy Screams the Loudest

And of course, Lin Feng was not the type of man to waste time.

The morning after Qin Ran had become acquainted with his life, Lin Feng turned his attention toward another woman in his residence.

Among all the women in his harem, Li Ruoxi was arguably one of the quietest.

If there was a competition for who could remain silent the longest, Lin Feng was fairly certain Li Ruoxi would have a very good chance of winning.

She rarely took the initiative, rarely spoke unnecessarily, and usually preferred to stay quietly by his side.

Even when surrounded by the other women, she would often simply listen to their conversations with a faint smile rather than participate.

But Lin Feng knew that silence did not mean indifference.

He understood Li Ruoxi better than she probably realized.

After all, he already knew the circumstances surrounding her arrival in his life.

Li Ruoxi had originally approached him as a spy from the Li Clan.

She had her own mission and her own reasons for getting close to him.

Lin Feng had known about it from the beginning.

Yet he had never considered it particularly important.

People often had their own secrets, and Lin Feng was not the kind of person who would expose every secret simply because he knew it.

Besides, things had already changed.

Whatever reason had originally brought Li Ruoxi to his side, she had gradually developed genuine feelings for him.

Lin Feng could see it clearly.

She might not say anything.

She might not be the kind of woman who boldly threw herself into his arms.

She might even become embarrassed whenever the subject of their relationship became too direct.

But Lin Feng could still tell what was in her heart.

The quiet woman had already become deeply attached to him.

She simply did not know how to express it.

That morning, Lin Feng found her and smiled.

"Come, Ruoxi. It is time to fulfill your promise."

Li Ruoxi’s body stiffened slightly when she heard his words.

Her beautiful eyes immediately turned toward him.

She remembered the promise.

For a moment, her normally calm expression showed a hint of nervousness.

Lin Feng noticed this and chuckled softly.

"Why are you nervous?" he asked.

"I am not nervous," Li Ruoxi replied quietly.

Her voice was so soft that an ordinary person might have had trouble hearing it.

Lin Feng smiled.

Of course she would say that.

He had already spent enough time with her to understand her personality.

Li Ruoxi was not someone who would openly admit her embarrassment.

Instead, she would quietly endure it and pretend that everything was perfectly normal.

Lin Feng stepped closer and looked at her.

"Then come with me."

Li Ruoxi hesitated for a moment before quietly nodding.

She followed him without saying anything else.

Lin Feng did not need her to say much.

He already understood her.

Their relationship had changed considerably from the moment she had first entered his life as a spy.

Whatever her original intentions had been, Li Ruoxi was no longer simply carrying out a mission for the Li Clan.

She had made her own choice.

And now, Lin Feng intended to let their relationship naturally move forward.

For someone as quiet as Li Ruoxi, she might never be the woman who openly demanded his attention.

But Lin Feng knew that sometimes the quietest person could have the deepest feelings.

And today, he intended to make sure Li Ruoxi understood that she no longer needed to hide those feelings from him.

Many of the women in the residence looked at Li Ruoxi with envy, and Li Zhiyan was naturally one of them.

Over time, Li Zhiyan had once again settled into Lin Feng’s residence, serving him as his maidservant.

Although she had started out simply wanting to repay his kindness and remain by his side, her feelings had gradually changed.

She wanted their relationship to become something deeper.

The problem was that she simply could not bring herself to say it.

Whenever Lin Feng was around, all the courage she had carefully gathered would somehow disappear.

She could think of countless things she wanted to tell him when she was alone, but the moment she stood before him, she would become too embarrassed to say even a single word.

Li Zhiyan had always been like this.

She was willing to quietly take care of Lin Feng, prepare things for him, accompany him, and remain at his side.

But confess her feelings?

That was an entirely different matter.

Now, however, she watched as Lin Feng walked away with Li Ruoxi, and an unmistakable feeling of envy appeared in her eyes.

Li Ruoxi was one of her clan elders, and seeing her become even closer to Lin Feng made Li Zhiyan’s heart ache slightly.

"If only I had been a little braver..." she thought.

If she had been more courageous, perhaps the woman walking beside Lin Feng right now could have been her.

The thought made Li Zhiyan bite her lower lip.

Then, just as Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi disappeared from sight, something suddenly ignited inside her heart.

It was determination.

"I need to be more open," Li Zhiyan vowed silently, clenching her little fists. "I need to tell Lin Feng how I truly feel!"

She could no longer continue hiding behind her timid personality.

If she kept waiting for the perfect moment, someone else would always arrive before her.

Li Zhiyan glanced in the direction Lin Feng had disappeared, her expression gradually becoming more determined.

She had already waited long enough.

Unfortunately for her, there was another problem.

Lin Feng’s attention was not unlimited, and there were already many women around him.

Li Zhiyan suddenly remembered something that made her heart tighten.

She was already near the end of the line.

If she wanted to have a chance, she could no longer remain passive.

"I have to move faster!"

For perhaps the first time in her life, Li Zhiyan decided that she would not simply wait for fate to make the decision for her.

She would take the initiative.

Even if her face turned completely red.

Even if she became so embarrassed that she wanted to hide somewhere.

She had to tell Lin Feng what was truly in her heart.

Otherwise, she might spend the rest of her life regretting that she had been too timid when she finally had the chance.
