"He used to be a bureau chief in Hehai City. He bought a house there, and even after he was transferred to the provincial capital, he didn't deal with it and just kept it. It's probably close to the school where Wanyu is taking the postgraduate entrance exam, so he cleaned up that house for Wanyu to live in. You can go and see how Wanyu is settling in. She's all alone in Hehai, so please take good care of her."

When Shen Qianqian heard that Lin Feng was leaving again, a hint of reluctance flashed across her face, but she quickly smiled and said, "Go ahead, I know you've been very busy lately. But you promised me you'd spend more time with me when you come back. I have so much to say to you in Kyoto, and I haven't finished telling you all today."

Lin Feng stood up and straightened his shirt collar. She walked him to the door, tiptoed and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "Come back early after you're done. I'll be waiting for you at home."

Ye Qinghan leaned against the sofa armrest, watching Lin Feng's departing figure, silently thinking that Shen Ping's invitation to Lin Feng's home this time was probably not just a simple gesture of gratitude.

She had watched Wanyu grow up since she was a child. She was stubborn and had high standards. The fact that she was persuaded by Lin Feng in just a few days said something.

Lin Feng sent a message to Shangguan Jinghong, asking her to come pick him up.

Not long after, a black sedan pulled up at the entrance of the residential area.

He opened the car door, sat in the back seat, leaned back, and stretched languidly. "I've been so busy lately, running from Hehai to Ning County, and from Ning County to Kyoto for almost half a month. How's things at the company?"

"Everything is normal. The number of visitors to the karst cave scenic area during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays has reached a new high, and the online reservation system is running stably. Chao Yuan said that the foundation for the second phase of the resort hotel has been laid. The groundbreaking ceremony for the school district housing project is scheduled for next week, and He Qianwen has already prepared the pre-sale plan. The construction progress of the Ningxian processing plant is faster than expected. Wang Yue's weekly report said that the main steel structure has been erected and it is expected to be capped next month. In the transportation department, Yonghu has signed two new clients, both of which are provincial logistics projects. Shen Ping's people have already made arrangements."

Shangguan Jinghong started the car and drove away from the residential area, giving a brief report on the progress of various tasks as he drove.

Today she was wearing a dark gray long-sleeved shirt, buttoned all the way up, black straight-leg trousers with wide legs, and black flat leather shoes. Her hair was loose over her shoulders, and her pale face was still covered with her signature dark red lipstick.

Lin Feng leaned back in his seat and listened, his gaze slowly shifting from the rapidly receding street scene outside the window to her legs.

He then noticed that Shangguan Jinghong was wearing black stockings today, which covered her smooth, fair legs and gave them a faint sheen in the dim light inside the car.

He couldn't resist reaching out and touching her thigh, his fingertips gently tracing the fabric through the thin black stockings, feeling the subtle friction of the knit against his fingers. "It feels pretty good. When did you start wearing stockings? You never used to."

"Wang Yue told me this when she came to Baijinhai for a meeting last time. She said President Lin likes to see girls wearing stockings and suggested I try them. So I went and bought a few. What, don't they look good?" Shangguan Jinghong's tone was as indifferent as ever. She didn't dodge Lin Feng's hand, but instead moved her leg a little closer to him, making it easier for him to touch her.

"It looks good. Black suits you very well, it makes your legs look even whiter. But with your style, wearing black stockings doesn't make you look like the sweet type like Wang Yue, it makes you look more like a female agent going on some secret mission."

"From now on, I can only carry out missions in front of you." Shangguan Jinghong rarely made a joke, but his face remained expressionless.

Lin Feng slowly traced circles on her leg with his fingers, thinking to himself that although this woman's words were cold, her mind was more meticulous than anyone else's.

The car was parked at the entrance of a low-key yet luxurious residential complex.

Security in the residential area was very strict. The security guards at the gate stood ramrod straight and only allowed people in after verifying their identities. As soon as Lin Feng got out of the car, he saw Shen Wanyu standing under the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the residential area. She was still dressed like a well-behaved girl, with long black hair, bangs, wearing a white cotton short-sleeved shirt, a light blue denim skirt, and white canvas shoes.

She wore almost no makeup, only a light layer of lipstick, and looked clean and fresh.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking around as if waiting for someone. When he saw Lin Feng get out of the car, his eyes lit up, and he ran over, naturally taking his arm. "Lin Feng, you're here! Let me take you inside. My dad took the day off to clean the yard, saying he hadn't been here in a long time and the land had become overgrown. He also said he'd build me a cat shelter in the yard, and this morning he went to the pet store to pick out a cat bed himself, saying he'd build it himself. I feel like my dad has changed. He never cared about these things before; last time I came home, he just told me to stay home by myself. Do you think he's been brainwashed by you?"

"Maybe your dad has come to his senses. He's always wanted to be good to you, but he just didn't know how to ask. Now that you're back, he has the chance, so of course he wants to make a good impression. Did he agree to you getting a cat?"

"He agreed! He said I can keep as many as I want, as long as I'm happy. By the way, why didn't you stay longer in Kyoto this time?"

"I'm back now that I've finished my business. How was it? Is things alright here at Hohai?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanyu tightened her grip on Lin Feng's arm, looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "As long as you're there, I feel very happy."

Lin Feng gave a wry smile to himself as Shen Wanyu pulled him forward. He could feel the soft curves of her breasts, though not very large, brushing against him from time to time.

She was wearing a thin cotton shirt today, and he could feel her warm body temperature and soft touch through the fabric. He felt a little distracted, but didn't show it on his face. He just thought to himself that the way this girl was linking her arm with his was too natural.

"The postgraduate entrance exam is settled. My dad took a day off to come and help me with everything a couple of days ago, and it's all done today. I'll be a postgraduate student at Hohai University from now on. I heard Qianqian is also studying at Hohai, so I can go out for a meal with her. I'll be living alone in this apartment from now on. Lin Feng, you can come over to visit whenever you have time, and I'll cook for you. Although my cooking skills aren't great yet, I've been learning from online tutorials recently, and I've already learned several dishes. I can make braised pork ribs, steamed sea bass, and garlic broccoli. Whenever you're free to come over, I'll go to the supermarket in advance to buy groceries and cook a feast for you."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly to himself, but could only say "okay" aloud.

The girl's enthusiasm was indeed overwhelming for him. She invited him to be her guest and offered to cook a meal. Judging from her earnest expression, he clearly couldn't refuse.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of a detached villa.
