Chapter 1493: Charity Gala (Fifth Update)

Pretending not to care, those words sound simple, but when truly facing such a pivotal moment, who can remain calm and return to their original aspirations?!

“I understand!” Lin Feng nodded casually at Lin Zhonghua, smiling as he said, “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”

In fact, if Lin Zhonghua really got promoted, Lin Feng could almost hear it from the national news right away… After all, a transfer at Lin Zhonghua’s level would definitely be broadcasted to the world.

“Well, you don’t need to bother with my affairs anyway!” Lin Zhonghua nodded pretentiously, saying coolly to Lin Feng, “By the way, there’s something I want to trouble you with.”

“What is it?” Lin Feng asked curiously.

“I received an invitation from Cao Tiannan, saying there would be a large charity gala in a couple of days. My status isn’t suitable to attend, so can you go for me?” Lin Zhonghua handed an exquisitely framed invitation envelope to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng casually opened the envelope and asked lightly, “What kind of charity gala is it?”

“It seems the theme is to set up a foundation specifically to help trafficked children find their biological parents…,” Lin Zhonghua showed little interest in it. For one, he’s in the military, and such local matters aren’t his concern; for another, Lin Zhonghua doesn’t have much wealth to squander on donations, so he likely couldn’t offer much help.

“Helping trafficked children?” Lin Feng paused for a moment; it’s actually a hot topic recently. The media has been talking about trafficked children for a while, and he didn’t expect someone would take the lead to do something about it… Since this invitation was issued by Cao Tiannan to Lin Zhonghua, the charity gala probably won’t be of low caliber!

After opening the envelope, Lin Feng saw a very elegantly printed invitation card. The paper quality was high-end, definitely not a cheap good.

“The gala is at the Four Seasons Hotel, seems the organizers have money to burn…” Lin Feng raised the invitation in his hand, chuckling as he said, “Just the venue rental must be around four to five million, I wonder how big this foundation’s appetite is?”

Lin Zhonghua slightly furrowed his brows, “Hearing you say that, is their purpose just to raise money?”

“It’s unlikely to be purely for profit, that would be too obvious…” Lin Feng shook his head, “But these days, few in charity have clean hands… Forget it, I won’t comment further, I’ll go there and see what’s up.”

Lin Feng knew that Lin Zhonghua indeed wasn’t suitable for such occasions, and besides, Lin Zhonghua had to return to the military district in a couple of days, so he had no time. However, since the invitation was from Cao Tiannan, throwing it away didn’t seem appropriate, so Lin Feng decided to attend in Cao Tiannan’s place.

Moreover, Lin Feng found the gala’s topic somewhat interesting… because before his rebirth, Lin Feng himself might have been a trafficked child.

After finishing the serious business, Lin Zhonghua looked at Lin Feng with a loving gaze, carefully observing him with a gratifying expression on his face. This son of his was making him increasingly proud! Upon careful thought, Lin Feng had basically become a successful son, though there was one thing…

Lin Zhonghua hesitated for a while, but ultimately couldn’t resist advising Lin Feng, “I say Lin Feng, regarding your personal life, I really shouldn’t say much, but you should understand your mom’s and my stance. No matter how carefree you are outside, we’ve decided that Tang Rou is the future daughter-in-law… Do you understand?”

Lin Feng’s face darkened. Although he had long guessed that this was what Lin Zhonghua meant, hearing the old man say it so cautiously in person was still surprising.

“Ahem… My affairs, you don’t need to worry about!” Lin Feng grunted in response to Lin Zhonghua before escaping the study.

Seeing Lin Feng’s rare loss of composure, Lin Zhonghua couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Lin Feng returned to the living room and, after accompanying Tang Rou with Jiang Xiuyun for a few more hours, finally said goodbye and left with Tang Rou.

As the BMW pulled out of the Lin Family, it was already past midnight. The night was cold and dewy, and Tang Rou, sitting slightly hunched in the passenger seat, looked a bit dazed as she turned to Lin Feng, “Lin Feng, it’s so late now, where are we going?”

Initially, Lin Feng had planned to take Tang Rou home, but hearing her question, he suddenly felt it was inappropriate… After all, it was already the early hours, Tang Zhendong was probably asleep, and it seemed unnecessary to take Tang Rou home, right?! Plus, Tang Zhendong never said it was necessary to take Tang Rou home tonight…

If Tang Rou didn’t need to go home, Lin Feng thought about Longfeng Martial Hall, but decided against it because Wu Mei was already staying there and the old house’s lock hadn’t been fixed… As for Ning Aoxue’s villa?

Lin Feng subconsciously shook his head; he vaguely felt that Ning Aoxue couldn’t handle any more provocation now, so better not to provoke her.

“Lin Feng? Lin Feng? What are you thinking about, why did you suddenly shake your head?” Tang Rou asked, her gaze puzzled and her expression odd.

Lin Feng snapped back to reality, then his eyes mischievously glanced at Tang Rou as he grinned wickedly and said instinctively, “Little Rou, let’s get a room!”

“Ah…” Tang Rou was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lin Feng to suddenly say such a thing after his daze… Lin Feng, he was so direct!

A blush appeared on Tang Rou’s face. She lowered her head without saying anything and slowly nodded… She would follow Lin Feng’s lead anyway, whatever Lin Feng liked.

“Cutie… if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as you agreeing!” Lin Feng grinned proudly, blowing a smug whistle, he activated the car’s GPS and drove toward the nearest five-star hotel.

Hearing Lin Feng call her that, Tang Rou wanted nothing more than to hide her face in the car… However, she was also looking forward to what was going to happen. Since the incident, she hadn’t… been with Lin Feng for a long time… She used to be overwhelmed by Lin Feng’s advances, but now that she has become an Innate expert, surely… she can handle it?

She didn’t understand why she suddenly thought of such a shy notion, feeling internally embarrassed.

Half an hour later, in a luxurious suite of a five-star hotel, Lin Feng’s chuckle continuously echoed with Tang Rou’s surprised soft exclamations:

“Lin Feng… you, don’t be in such a rush… we’re so dirty…”

“Silly girl, why would I mind if you’re dirty…”

“No way… I, I want to take a bath first…”

“Okay, then let’s bathe together, hehe…”
