Chapter 195: Able to See Xiaofeng

Mou Lili tried to turn on her phone, but it wouldn't turn on no matter what she did.

She angrily said to Ling Feng, "You broke my phone."

"Blaming me? It was clearly you who dropped it yourself. Do you know what this is called? This is called 'reaping what you sow, no one to blame but yourself.' You blamed me and even slapped me; let's see how you try to blame me now," Ling Feng said triumphantly.

Mou Lili said crossly, "Get off the bed. I booked this room."

"Heh, if you want me to get off, I'll get off," Ling Feng said.

However, he was stark naked, "Where are my clothes?"

"You threw up all over yourself last night and got mine dirty too, so I had no choice but to strip your clothes off and have the hotel staff send them to be washed, including my own."

"Then why did you share a bed with me? Isn't it obvious you wanted to take advantage of me?"

"This hotel only had this one single-bed room left, didn't you know?"

"I..."

"Wait a moment, I'll make a call to ask if the clothes are washed yet," Mou Lili said crossly.

There was a landline by the bed, and Mou Lili called the service desk; they replied that it wasn't finished yet, estimating it would take about another half hour.

"There's still half an hour, you'll have to wait," Mou Lili said.

The hotel room was very small, and since neither of them had clothes, they could only sit there doing nothing.

Ling Feng took the phone from the tabletop to check his messages.

The person he was looking forward to most had no news.

He checked his work group, which consisted of the company's senior management; Bai Shunan had sent a message in the group saying she was going to the United States today to handle issues there, and if the company had any matters, they should find the Vice President.

Other than that, there was no important information.

He put the phone down. Mou Lili turned on the TV to watch; many channels required a membership, and since she was only staying for one night, there was no need to open those, so she just watched the broadcast channels. After tuning for a while, she settled on the sports channel to watch soccer.

Ling Feng couldn't help but ask, "What was your name again?"

"Mou Lili."

Ling Feng didn't have much of an impression. He used to have a contact category where he noted down the names of women he had slept with, but later, in order to pursue Bai Shunan, he had deleted them all.

"Then what do you do for a living? How did you end up at the bar last night?" Ling Feng asked.

Mou Lili said, "I'm a resident singer at that bar tonight."

"Doesn't sound like a very respectable profession," Ling Feng said bluntly.

Mou Lili took a cigarette from the nightstand and was about to light it when she looked up and saw the smoke detector. She asked, "Singing isn't respectable, then what profession is?"

Ling Feng asked, "In your line of work, you must often pick up handsome guys, like me?"

"Young Master Ling, don't be so conceited. I'm only being nice because we had a one-night stand; otherwise, who would bother with you?"

Ling Feng said, "All in all, you did help me, and your phone was broken because of me. Why don't you leave a number? I'll contact you later to compensate you for the money."

Mou Lili said, "Who cares about that?"

At this moment, a waiter came to knock on the door, saying the clothes had been washed and dried. Mou Lili kicked Ling Feng: "You go get them."

Ling Feng was a man, so it was more appropriate for him to go get them.

There was a bath towel by the bed; after putting it on, he went out to get the clothes.

The clothes were folded very neatly, but the waiter didn't know their relationship, so the underwear and panties were folded together, and the outer garments were folded together.

He brought them in, sorted his own out, and threw Mou Lili's in front of her.

"Turn around," Mou Lili said.

Ling Feng turned around and dressed himself. When he finished and turned back, he saw Mou Lili already standing in front of him, fully dressed.

She was about 168 cm tall, with a curvaceous figure and long, wavy hair. Her outfit was what she had worn while singing last night: a red leather jacket, black leather pants, and knee-high boots, possessing a dash of the dashing temperament similar to Bai Shunan.

But Bai Shunan was like a goddess high above, while Mou Lili was more like a vixen.

Mou Lili finished dressing and waved at Ling Feng: "You don't need to compensate me for the phone, and I don't care to contact you either. Just treat tonight as me picking up a stray dog, washing it clean, and putting it back on the street."

Having said that, she swayed her hips and walked out swaggeringly.

Ling Feng ruminated on that sentence: "A stray dog..."

Forget it, if she didn't want it, she didn't want it; he couldn't be bothered to give it either.

Who knew what she really did, or if she had a boyfriend or husband? What if she was some disreputable woman?

Bai Shuruo settled her accommodation and worked for another three days.

She worked at a 4S dealership. She had originally wanted to be a car salesperson, but it wasn't until she started working that the sales manager discovered she didn't even have a driver's license.

The manager was just about to lose his temper, wondering why they were hiring just anyone, but fortunately, Ling Feng stepped in and said she was his person.

Then Bai Shuruo was transferred to after-sales, serving car owners who came for after-sales service or maintenance.

She worked quite hard, thinking every day that she must work well and gain a firm foothold in Beishi; only then would it be possible to see Xiaofeng for a long time.

After getting off work, she would cook a simple meal and then pull up her old design software.

After not using it for several years, she was rusty, and her sense of design had also worsened significantly.

Design work, besides talent, also required spirituality and inspiration.

And inspiration must be unleashed in a relaxed state; it was very difficult for a woman who ran around for household chores every day to have such inspiration.

Bai Shuruo studied for a while; she remembered how to operate the software, but her mind was a mess.

Forget it, she would just focus on doing her after-sales job well. As long as she was diligent and conscientious, she could still support herself.

She finally looked forward to the weekend. That morning, she called the Manor early, saying she was coming to see Xiaofeng today and hoped Xiaofeng would wait for her at home.

Then she took two subway lines and hailed a taxi to the Manor.

On the way to the Manor, the taxi driver looked at the area several times in confusion, then looked at Bai Shuruo in confusion, feeling that Bai Shuruo seemed like someone from a small place, reserved.

The driver asked her, "Going to visit relatives?"

Bai Shuruo nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then your relative is quite impressive; are they a nanny or a security guard?"

Bai Shuruo said indifferently, "A driver."

"Why didn't you ask them to come out and pick you up?"

"They are at work."

"That's true, they serve a big shot after all, but can you even get into a place like that?"

"I'll just wait for them at the gate," Bai Shuruo said.

Bai Shuruo stared blankly out the window.

This road has no buses or subways; those who come and go are all in private cars or shuttle buses.

This road is so familiar.

During that time, she came and went from here every day with the mindset of a mistress, living in luxury, but now, she can only come as a visitor.

Was it her own doing? Certainly not.

Actually, there is nothing to regret.

……

Arriving at the Manor, Bai Shuruo saw that the housekeeper had already driven the sightseeing cart to the gate to wait for her.

The taxi driver said enviously, "Your treatment is quite high; when will you be coming out? Do you want me to wait here for you?"

Bai Shuruo hurriedly said, "No need, I don't know when I'll be going back yet."

The driver clicked his tongue twice, then drove the car away.
