Chapter 96
Seeing the elated look on the cunning girl’s face, Chu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. “You’requite the smart cookie, my sweet daughter. Fine, go and watch television in the living room.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Duo Duo leaped into Chu Feng’s arms and nuzzled his chest like a little kitten. “Iknew you loved me the most. I love you too.”
Chu Feng sighed and waited for Duo Duo to saunter out of the kitchen before taking out his phone andposting a plea for help online—‘How to deal with a manipulative daughter? It’s urgent, so I will bewaiting online.’ novelbin
For the next week, Chu Feng lived a peaceful and blissful life. After Li Ziyang discovered his limitlessinfluence, his engagement to the Yun family was hastily cancelled. and he hadn’t caused any troublesince. He didn’t even dare ask for a refund of the two-billion dowry he gave. Even though the Yunfamily was puzzled by this, they certainly didn’t complain about getting to keep the two billion in theiraccount. They also didn’t have to waste time persuading Yun Muqing anymore.
Yun Muqing felt the most relaxed and comfortable she had ever been during that period. With ChuFeng picking up Duo Duo from school every day and playing with her as well as teasing Yun Muqingherself, the family of three was completely enjoying the familial bliss they had at the moment anddeveloping a bond that was stronger than ever. At this rate, it would only be a matter of time beforeChu Feng felt ready to reveal his identity and gain Yun Muqing’s acceptance as her husband.
Chu Feng had also visited Zhou Lie’s during his spare time to visit his adoptive parents. After the Zhoufamily reclaimed the land deed that the Chamber had stolen, in addition to the ten-million gift from MaSanyuan’s own coffers, they had been living their best lives, and thus Chu Feng had one less thing toworry about. The only issue was that he had never seen Zhou Ying during all his visits, not even once.
According to Zhou Lie, Zhou Ying’s fiancé, Sun Mingxuan, had an uncle who got promoted to third-in-command of Jiangling City, and he became full of himself. Naturally, Sun Mingxuan rode on his uncle’scoattails and spent his days rubbing shoulders with the worst of the city’s upper class. Zhou Ying alsofollowed him in and out of the most high-class events. It was because of this that she acted arrogantnowadays.
“She had the stench of alcohol on every inch of her and a stubborn pride to match! A girl should neveract like this. She’ll get into trouble if she keeps fooling around with that Sun boy!” Zhou Lie would rantand get emotional every time they drank together. Then, he would grab Chu Feng and say seriously,“Feng, you’re Yingying’s brother, so help me out here. She listened to you the most when she was a kidand kept tagging along with you like a lost puppy.”
“Relax, Dad. I’ll talk to her.” Even though Chu Feng promised his father, he felt conflicted inside. Sure,Zhou Ying would have listened to everything he said ten years ago. But now, he felt like he barely knewthis girl who even refused to acknowledge him as her brother. All Chu Feng could do was sigh andlament the inevitability of change.
Every person has their own fate and ambition in life, and no one could demand anything different fromthem. What lay in Zhou Ying’s future was up to her and her alone. But no matter what happened, ChuFeng would still see her as his sister. After all, she was one of the few people left he could call ‘family.’
Time flew, and before they knew it, it was the weekend. Duo Duo woke up early and was in good spiritsbecause today was the day Yun Muqing promised the whole family would go to Happy Valley. “Daddy!Mommy! Hurry up!” she urged with a pout. She had already finished packing her stuff, so she was veryimpatient as she waited for Chu Feng and Yun Muqing to get ready.
While they were on the road, the little tyke only grew more impatient and wished she had wings to fly to
the destination. Yun Muqing put her in her place with a stern, angry expression, whereas Chu Fengmerely smiled as he drove and enjoyed the moment.
How long had it been since he felt this relaxed after joining the army? Was it one, three, or five yearsago? He couldn’t even remember, and that was why everything felt like a dream. It was too perfect andsurreal. Happy Valley was located within the newly developed area of Jiangling City’s entertainmentdistrict; it was a half-hour drive away from the city. It was a bold attempt of the city to stimulate the localeconomy, and thus a lot of money was invested in it.
