Chapter 1346 - 1350: Tang Rou Is Going to America

Lin Feng chuckled as he looked at Tang Rou, shaking his head, "Don’t overthink it. No matter how you look at it, this isn’t your fault... having a good talent isn’t a bad thing."

After speaking, Lin Feng glanced at Tang Rou’s left wrist and noticed the Hotan jade bracelet was slowly emitting a faint white glow.

"Tang Rou, can you feel anything special about this bracelet right now?" Lin Feng pointed at Tang Rou’s wrist and casually asked.

"Bracelet?" Tang Rou heard Lin Feng’s question, looked down at her arm, and instinctively said, "It’s cool and refreshing, quite comfortable..."

Feeling comfortable is just right. If you feel uneasy, then there’s a problem. Lu Lu mentioned that the jade bracelet Tang Rou wore isn’t an ordinary one but a mid-tier magical item carved from mid-tier Spirit Stone. It has a calming and soothing auxiliary effect, suitable for inner strength cultivators experiencing rapid progress with unstable mindsets. You could say this bracelet is almost tailor-made for Tang Rou.

"If you ever feel down later, just focus on the bracelet’s aura; it can calm you down..." Lin Feng gently stroked Tang Rou’s face and spoke tenderly.

"Mm, I got it..." Tang Rou’s face flushed slightly. Even though she had been with Lin Feng for a long time, she was still not used to his affectionate gestures in public.

"Is there anything else? If not, go and rest for a while. I’ll cook lunch to reward you..." Lin Feng gently pinched Tang Rou’s cheek and said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Feng say that he would personally cook, Tang Rou was even happier. It had been a long time since she last ate Lin Feng’s cooking.

After Lin Feng and Tang Rou returned to the villa, they started busying themselves in the kitchen. The fridge in Ning Aoxue’s villa had been stocked with fresh ingredients every two or three days by the Ning Family, never lacking in foods like various meats and greens, allowing Lin Feng to freely plan his dishes.

However, just as Lin Feng was lifting the kitchen knife to cut a few ribs, Tang Rou, who had just gone upstairs, suddenly came down again...

"Lin Feng..." Tang Rou called out softly with a slightly somber voice and a tense and conflicted expression.

"Hm?" Lin Feng turned his head, noticing Tang Rou’s anxious expression, and slightly frowned, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

"I... I’m leaving..." Tang Rou sniffed slightly and suddenly spoke in a lowered, aggrieved voice.

"Leaving? Where are you going?" Lin Feng frowned as he sensed something amiss with Tang Rou’s emotions. He wondered if Tang Zhendong had called to reprimand Tang Rou.

"My mom just called me, saying... it’s close to the New Year, she misses me a lot and hopes I can spend a few days with her. She’s already booked my flight for tomorrow!" Tang Rou looked at Lin Feng and spoke with grievance.

Clearly, this wasn’t Tang Rou’s intention...

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He had been with Tang Rou for quite some time, and Tang Rou had shared quite a bit about her family matters... Lin Feng knew Tang Rou’s mother didn’t get along well with her father, Tang Zhendong. The two had been living apart for years, with Tang Rou’s mother living alone in America for many years.

As a middle-aged woman living alone in a foreign country, wanting her daughter Tang Rou to accompany her during the festive season was understandable. However, seeing Tang Rou so aggrieved, Lin Feng naturally felt resentful towards that future mother-in-law in America who he’d never met.

"Why is the trip scheduled so hastily?" Lin Feng asked with a frown and a puzzled expression.

Tang Rou shook her head and softly replied, "I don’t know. Maybe my mom doesn’t want my dad to know about this."

"Your father doesn’t know about this?! You’re going to America alone?" Lin Feng heard this and felt even more uneasy...

"Mm!" Tang Rou nodded obediently, widened her eyes, looked seriously at Lin Feng, and spoke softly, "Lin Feng, you don’t need to worry about me. I went to America alone two years ago; I won’t get lost..."

"No way!" Lin Feng shook his head. He couldn’t interfere with matters from two years ago, but now things were different... Since Tang Rou was already his girlfriend, Lin Feng couldn’t reasonably let her travel alone and take risks.

"How about I accompany you?" Lin Feng looked at Tang Rou’s face and spoke seriously.

"Ah?" Tang Rou was a bit surprised and then shook her head in a fluster, "It’s not possible. My mother’s personality is a bit eccentric... If she sees you, she might get very upset!"

Tang Rou looked at Lin Feng guilt-ridden. She knew Lin Feng cared about her, but her mother’s peculiar personality left her with no choice... She was afraid Lin Feng might feel wronged, and more afraid that meeting him might cause her mother to emotionally break down.

Lin Feng knew Tang Rou’s mother resented Tang Zhendong heavily and understood she might not be welcoming towards him as Tang Rou’s boyfriend... If it was simply enduring discomfort, Lin Feng wouldn’t mind facing Tang Rou’s mother, but hearing Tang Rou’s concerns made Lin Feng worry that his presence might strain the atmosphere, even affecting the mother-daughter reunion.

Therefore, it’s better not to meet for the time being.

But Lin Feng was still worried about Tang Rou going alone to America.

"How about this! I won’t go to America, but I’ll send Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang to escort you back and forth!" Lin Feng looked at Tang Rou and spoke calmly, "Xiang Wang’s hometown is over there as well; he can take the opportunity to visit his family..."

Saying this, Lin Feng naturally remembered Xiang Wang’s previous request to find a way to bring his parents to China for retirement... Since the trip involved going to America, why not have Xiang Wang plan this out!

Tang Rou didn’t reject this proposal. Although she felt bad about inconveniencing Xiang Wang and Zhou Yang, she knew that if she refused Lin Feng’s arrangement, he might not allow her to leave China.

...

"What, Boss, you want me to go to America?!" Xiang Wang’s eyes widened upon hearing Lin Feng’s command, staring at Lin Feng with a highly incredulous expression, extremely agitated, "Are you... Boss, are you preparing to bring... my parents?"

Xiang Wang looked quite surprised. Although he knew Lin Feng would eventually help him bring his parents to Jiangzhou, the sudden mention of such a task seemed a bit abrupt given the recent flurry of affairs.

"Yes!" Lin Feng patted Xiang Wang’s shoulder and said with a smile, "Your task with Zhou Yang this time is to figure out how many covert agents are around your parents, then formulate a reasonable plan and strive to bring them back domestically as soon as possible... and of course, on your way, protect Tang Rou!"
