Female Novel
Chapter 71
Chu Feng was surprised by the condition of the house. He had witnessed the grandeur of the mansionof Yun Family’s ancestral home. As part of the Yun Family, Chu Feng thought Yun Muqing’s parents—even if they could not afford a mansion as magnificent as the Yun Family’s ancestral home—would atleast live in a much more comfortable and finely decorated house located in some high-end districtssuch as the Second Ring Road of Beijing. What brings them to such degradation?
“Surprised, aren’t you?” Yun Muqing noticed Chu Feng’s puzzlement. She sighed. “My grandfather hadthree sons. My eldest uncle is the General Manager of Yun Group. My youngest uncle is in the army.My father was initially in the management board of the company. He was a very talented man withplenty of support from the family. But he suffered from high paraplegia due to a car accident ten yearsago and lost his ability to walk. So, he had to relinquish all his positions in the company. My eldestuncle took over all the projects and contracts that once belonged to my father. We were forced to liveon the meagre company share dividend. We had to sell our cars, houses and other valuables to pay formy father’s medical bills. And eventually, we become like this.”
Chu Feng nodded in agreement. He said solemnly, “Poor Mr. Yun! What a difficult life he had! It mustbe hard for him to lose everything at the height of his career like this. I can’t imagine the pain he's beenthrough.”
Yun Muqing nodded sadly. “Please don’t bring this up in front of my father, okay? I don’t want him to beupset,” she reminded Chu Feng.
“Of course, my dear.” Chu Feng nodded and agreed with Yun Muqing, intimately addressing her as ‘mydear’.
Yun Muqing blushed suddenly. She said crossly, “W-who are you calling ‘dear’ with? You shamelesspervert!”
But Chu Feng insisted, “Well, we need to put on a convincing act in front of your parents, needn’t we?I’m sure you don’t want them to know that we are a fake couple, do you? If they know we are acting,they will have more reasons to force you into a marriage.”
Yun Muqing nodded thoughtfully; it sounded reasonable.
“So, from now on, we must begin our acting,” Chu Feng chuckled while watching Yun Muqing’sbeautiful face blushing with embarrassment. “Now, it’s your turn to call me ‘dear’.” Chu Feng had toadmit that he had become pretty thick-skinned ever since he met Yun Muqing. Perhaps, this was thepower of love?
Yun Muqing stared angrily at Chu Feng for a moment before she blushed and stammered stiffly, “D-Dear”
“I can’t hear you clearly. Can you repeat?” Chu Feng decided to tease Yun Muqing further.
But the next moment, he sensed Yun Muqing’s threatening death stare and quickly fled the scene afterpicking up all the presents.
Feeling annoyed and funny with Chu Feng’s childish demeanor, Yun Muqing stomped her feet angrilyon the ground and shouted, “You moron!”
Ten minutes later, Chu Feng and Yun Muqing arrived in Yun Muqing’s parents’ house. It was a two-
bedroom house about 80 square meters wide. The old interior decorations around the house lookedstylish and sophisticated, which suggested the owner of the house was of prominent background.
“Dad, Mum, I’m home.” Looking at the familiar interior of the house, Yun Muqing’s eyes reddened. Shewrapped her arms around Chu Feng’s arm and introduced him to her parents. “This is Chu Feng, myboyfriend.” novelbin
Yun Muqing blushed when she recalled the moment where she addressed Chu Feng as ‘dear’ justnow. She still found it hard to address Chu Feng with such an intimate term after long consideration.While trying to act intimate and close with Chu Feng, Yun Muqing felt her heart pounding rapidly. Shewas worried that her parents might see through their act but luckily, Chu Feng was quite calm and goodat acting.
“Mr. Yun, Mrs. Yun, nice to meet you,” Chu Feng greeted politely.
“Welcome, you must be Feng. Muqing talked about you a lot. You are quite a handsome lad, aren’tyou?” Yun Muqing’s father, Yun Jiaming was in a wheelchair, reading the newspaper when he greetedChu Feng warmly. Yun Jiaming wore a pair of gold-framed glasses and his legs were covered by apiece of wool blanket; he looked well-cultured and scholarly like a college professor.
Meanwhile, Yun Muqing’s mother, Li Fenglan, was sitting on a couch. She was flipping through a luxurymagazine in an idle manner when she saw Chu Feng and Yun Muqing enter the room. She greetedthem with a simple ‘yeah’ without even looking at the pair. Li Fenglan was in her early forties. Shelooked rather young and pretty for her age due to constant skincare and proper weight management.She bore an uncanny resemblance with Yun Muqing. However, Li Fenglan looked less refinedcompared to her daughter and there was an unusual flicker of cunningness in her sharp eyes.
As soon as Chu Feng entered the room, Li Fenglan had observed him quietly and carefully. The cheapclothes on him probably totaled to no more than five hundred in worth, and there were no expensivewatches on his wrists, so of course there would be no BMW or Mercedes-Benz car keys hanging fromhis belt. He was obviously as poor as a church mouse! It would be such a disaster if Muqing marriedhim!
“Mum, Chu Feng bought you some of your favorite fruits.” Noticing Li Fenglan’s impoliteness, YunMuqing quickly presented the gifts to her parents. “And dad, here’s some wine for you. Chu Feng madethem himself.”
“Oh, Feng, that’s very kind of you! Thank you for the gifts,” Yun Jiaming thanked Chu Feng warmly. Abroad smile crossed his face; he liked his future son-in-law, Chu Feng very much.
