"What are you envious of? Even if you were asked to go and save them, you wouldn't have the ability!"

"Yeah, that's true."

……

the other side.

Having just escaped the pursuit team and still somewhat shaken, the Shangguan sisters, accompanied by Shangguan Meng and Chen Feng, returned to the entrance of the dessert shop.

At this moment, Yassen, who was actually Lin Qingyao in disguise, "just happened" to return from outside.

Upon seeing the three sisters, Lin Qingyao stepped forward to greet them.

"Sister Lin, Sister Xi, Xiaomeng, what's wrong with you? You don't look well. Are you sick?"

Lin Qingyao asked the question knowing the answer already.

Shangguan Meng stepped forward first to answer: "Oh, well... my eldest and second eldest sisters have food poisoning and have been throwing up all the way. So, I'm planning to take them back to their rooms to rest first."

Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xi, whose faces were still a little pale, nodded in agreement.

"I see."

Lin Qingyao nodded, then looked at Chen Feng standing next to Shangguan Xi, a slight smile playing on her lips, and deliberately asked, "And who is this?"

……

Chapter 142 Inside the Dessert Shop

Shangguan Meng reacted quickly and immediately said, "Ah, he... he's my second sister's boyfriend."

"Oh?"

Lin Qingyao revealed a teasing smile: "Sister Xi's boyfriend? Hello, my name is Yasen, the owner of the coffee shop next door. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello."

Chen Feng extended his hand and shook hands with Lin Qingyao in front of him.

Their palms made brief contact, and Chen Feng clearly felt the other person's finger scratch his palm.

Chen Feng looked up and met Lin Qingyao's gaze. Using Chen Feng's figure as cover, Lin Qingyao winked her left eye at Chen Feng in front of her.

This caused Chen Feng's lips to twitch.

Although Lin Qingyao's looks are definitely top-notch, she is now in her own form, so is this... being teased by "herself"?

Shangguan Meng and the others, who were standing nearby, did not notice Lin Qingyao's subtle movements and said, "As for Yasen, we'll head back first."

"it is good."

Lin Qingyao smiled and nodded, then gave Chen Feng a meaningful look before turning around and leaving, returning to the coffee shop.

Chen Feng and the three Shangguan sisters returned to the dessert shop, went up to the second floor, closed the door, and sat down.

By this time, Shangguan Xi and the other person had recovered from their previous shock, and their complexions had gradually returned to normal.

Looking at Chen Feng in front of her, Shangguan Xi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um... when did you get back?"

"Just arrived today." Chen Feng still had that same smiling poker face.

"I heard about the three female thieves' operation as soon as I arrived. I originally planned to go to the scene to watch the three ladies perform, but I didn't expect to see that scene instead."

Hearing Chen Feng recount what had just happened, the three Shangguan sisters felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, the scene just now was indeed a bit unsightly...

Shangguan Lin slowly said, "Anyway, thank you, Kidd."

"No need to be so polite," Chen Feng replied.

"Fortunately, the operation was successful. Although some unexpected things happened along the way, overall the result was good." Shangguan Meng raised her head and said with a smile.

"Do not."

Shangguan Lin suddenly spoke up, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.

"What's wrong, eldest sister?" Shangguan Meng asked, somewhat puzzled.

She had personally witnessed her eldest sister take away the ancient jade, the target of this operation. Could something have gone wrong again?

Shangguan Xi was even more puzzled, since Shangguan Meng only saw that scene through the surveillance camera, while she was acting with Shangguan Lin.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of Shangguan Meng and Shangguan Xi, Shangguan Lin slowly took out the ancient jade from her person.

The emerald green ancient jade lay quietly in Shangguan Lin's fair hand, looking extremely alluring.

"Is there... a problem?" Shangguan Xi asked, somewhat confused.

Shangguan Lin did not answer, but took out a handkerchief and wiped it on the jade antique. When the handkerchief was opened again, the center of the originally white handkerchief had been stained with a light green.

"A fake?!"

Shangguan Meng exclaimed in surprise, then looked somewhat deflated: "We went through so much trouble, and my eldest and second sisters almost got arrested, and all we got was a fake!"

Shangguan Xi was also somewhat disappointed and sat down to the side without saying a word.

They didn't have Chen Feng's expertise in appraising treasures, so despite his careful planning, they failed to notice that the target item had been switched and turned into a fake.

Just then, Chen Feng, who had been silent until now, spoke again: "Perhaps... this is what you're looking for!"

Chen Feng's voice immediately drew the attention of the three Shangguan sisters.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Chen Feng took out an identical piece of ancient jade from his pocket.

However, compared to the replica in Shangguan Lin's hands, the ancient jade in Chen Feng's hands had a more substantial and ethereal green color.

The three Shangguan sisters' eyes lit up immediately.

The disappointment on Shangguan Xi's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of joy.

"This...where did you come from?" Shangguan Xi asked in surprise.

Chen Feng smiled mysteriously: "I just went in for a quick look before the three phantom thieves appeared, and took this little gadget with me."

Overjoyed, Shangguan Xi immediately reached out to take it.

But Chen Feng flipped his hand, and the ancient jade was instantly put away again.

"Madam, shouldn't you say something before taking it?"

Chen Feng smiled and raised his face.

Shangguan Xi immediately understood, her face flushed slightly, but she did not refuse. She simply stood on tiptoe and quickly pecked Chen Feng on the cheek.

"Is that all right?"

Shangguan Xi spoke in a low voice.

Chen Feng placed his hand in front of him and lightly snapped his fingers.

The next second, a blue rose appeared in Chen Feng's hand, and the ancient jade that had just been put away was now stuck to the rose.

"This is for you, Miss Shangguan Xi."

Shangguan Xi reached out and took it, her face slightly flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Chen Feng's gaze.

"Alright, it's about time, I should go."

With that, Chen Feng stopped lingering and turned to walk towards the balcony.

"and many more!"

Shangguan Xi suddenly spoke again.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Shangguan Xi strode to the table, opened a drawer, tore off a piece of paper from the notebook, and casually scribbled a string of numbers on it.

He then walked back to Chen Feng and stuffed the note into Chen Feng's hand: "This is my phone number. You can call me anytime if you need my help."

After saying this, Shangguan Xi's face turned bright red.

Chen Feng put the note away, reached out and lifted Shangguan Xi's chin, gently kissing her forehead.

"Thank you for your trust, ma'am."

After saying this, Chen Feng turned around and opened the balcony door.

After winking at Shangguan Xi, she transformed into a flock of white doves and slowly disappeared into the night.

Chen Feng left.

Only the three Shangguan sisters remained in the room.

Faced with the teasing glances from her older sister Shangguan Lin and younger sister Shangguan Meng, Shangguan Xi blushed with embarrassment.

"We really owe a debt of gratitude to Second Sister. If it weren't for her lover's help, we would have wasted all our time."

Shangguan Meng's playful voice came from inside.

"Xiao Meng!"

In a fit of shame and anger, Shangguan Xi clenched her fists and made as if to hit Shangguan Meng.

Shangguan Lin's voice followed immediately:

"But Xiaoxi is indeed at the age to date. It's much better to find someone she likes than to go on blind dates later."

"Big sister! Why do you say that too!"

Shangguan Xi, who was still lecturing Shangguan Meng, blushed even more, but after thinking for a moment, she spoke directly:

"But if you ask me, sister, you're already so old, why don't you find a boyfriend? Don't end up an old maid who's never even been in a relationship!"

"Um?!!"

Shangguan Lin narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and the smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to reveal a dangerous signal: "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with my age? Am I very old?"

Actually, Shangguan Lin isn't that old, although at 27 she still looks a bit older than her two younger sisters.

"Huh? I..."

Shangguan Xi seemed to notice the change in her older sister's expression. After a brief moment of thought, she quickly got up and fled to her room.

"Xiaomeng, stop Xiaoxi! I'm going to teach her a lesson on what it means for an elder sister to be like a mother!"

"Okay, big sister!"
