Chapter 267: I Am That Kind of Woman Too

It was dark.

The two of them caught a bucket of fish, about 20-plus catties, but only kept two and released all the rest.

This farm not only provided fishing but also offered to process the fish for an extra fee, so Mou Lili and Ling Feng had a full-fish feast: pan-fried fish, grilled fish, and fish soup.

They were stuffed.

After the meal, Ling Feng drove Mou Lili back to her building.

Ling Feng asked in a very flirtatious tone, "Won't you invite me up for a sit?"

Mou Lili smiled and shook her head: "Another day. I'm too tired today, and I have to work tomorrow."

What "going up for a sit" implies—every adult knows that, right?

Mou Lili asked again: "You don't think that just because you treated me to coffee and a fish meal, you can get into bed, do you? I'm not that cheap. I'll transfer the money for today's expenses to you."

"I didn't mean that." Ling Feng was a bit angry: "Why are you such a mercenary woman? You have to calculate even this little bit of money so clearly."

Mou Lili said: "I don't want to owe you."

"Let's just be friends. Besides, it was me who insisted on treating you to dinner, so don't dwell on it. Since you're tired, go up early, wash up, and sleep."

"Goodbye," Mou Lili said.

"Goodbye." Ling Feng did not try to make her stay.

The car door closed, and Ling Feng felt the car was more than half empty, with only a trace of the fragrance she left behind.

Immediately after, his heart felt empty as well.

Since that day, Ling Feng had not contacted Mou Lili for a long time.

He did not contact her, and she did not contact him.

It was as if the two of them had never crossed paths.

During this time, his family had set up several gatherings for him, all with the purpose of matchmaking, and he had attended them quite actively.

However, he seemed to have caught a case of asceticism, feeling no interest in anyone.

The young women were also puzzled; wasn't it said that the great Ling Feng was dashing and a playboy? Why did he look like a wooden vase?

That day, while eating with Han Yangting, Bai Shuruo, and the others, the matter was mentioned, and Ling Feng said: "I really want to become a monk."

Han Yangting said: "That's why you shouldn't have played so wildly when you were young. You know the principle of conservation of energy, right? A person only has so much energy in a lifetime. If you used it all up in the first half of your life, you won't have any left for the second half."

Bai Shuruo followed up on Han Yangting's words: "Then what should we do? Ling Feng isn't really going to become a monk, is he?"

Han Yangting said: "Actually, becoming a monk might not be a bad thing. He has played enough now; it's time to atone for his sins."

Ling Feng couldn't help but say: "What sins am I atoning for? You don't know, but when I played around in my earlier years, I was generous to the girls and even inadvertently helped them get through their difficulties."

Bai Shuruo was curious: "Oh? How did you help them through?"

"Just money, really." Ling Feng felt that Bai Shuruo was like a little fairy who knew nothing of the mortal world.

Bai Shuruo said: "Oh, so that's how it is. I thought those girls were looking for you because they were heartbroken and you healed them. But then again, Brother Ling Feng, don't take offense at what I'm about to say, but you helped them with money, which is also equivalent to harming them. They spend a period of time playing with you and get a large sum of money; after they squander it, they don't want to work properly anymore. After all, money from taking shortcuts comes fast."

Han Yangting nodded: "I agree with Ruoruo's view."

"There are exceptions." Ling Feng gave a rough account of Mou Lili's situation.

After he finished, Bai Shuruo couldn't help but say sympathetically: "That girl is too pitiful. How could her father do such a thing?"

Han Yangting put his arm around Bai Shuruo's shoulder: "Ruoruo, don't believe everything you hear. Some people's words aren't necessarily true, especially those who play around outside; they always like to make their own backgrounds sound very miserable."

Ling Feng objected: "How is it not true? I think what she said is correct."

"Then are you still in contact with her now?" Bai Shuruo asked while drinking corn juice.

Ling Feng shook his head and said: "No, I just feel..."

"You feel that you and she are not from the same world, right?"

Ling Feng nodded, but after a moment, he shook his head again: "Actually, there isn't much difference between her and me. I am a bum myself, just relying on the fact that my family has more money, so I live a little better."

Han Yangting said: "Well, your self-awareness is quite clear."

"Shut up!"

After leaving Han Yangting's house, Ling Feng was bored and listless again.

For some reason, he still thought of Mou Lili.

So, he went to the bar.

Although it was the weekend, it was still afternoon, and there were very few people in the bar, so he found a seat and sat down.

At this moment, that girl named Xiaojuan came over again.

"Young Master Ling, here so early today?"

Ling Feng nodded, took another sip of his drink, and then asked: "Where is Mou Lili?"

"Sister Rose went back to her hometown."

"Back to her hometown?" Ling Feng asked guardedly: "What for?"

"How would I know? She doesn't tell us."

Ling Feng gloomily drank the last drop of his alcohol.

Xiaojuan moved a bit closer to Ling Feng, her body making contact with his, and Ling Feng couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

Xiaojuan also rested her hand over, her fingertips touching Ling Feng's, and she smiled at him; there was no need to guess what this smile meant.

She was intentionally flirting.

Ling Feng couldn't help but smile.

If it were a few years ago, he would definitely have asked her what she needed and satisfied it afterward.

Not a single woman who had slept with him had ever spoken ill of him.

"Do you want to get into my bed?" Ling Feng asked directly.

Xiaojuan couldn't help but laugh: "Young Master Ling, don't be so direct."

"However, I don't want to play anymore right now, otherwise, I'm afraid the monks in the temple won't take me in."

"You want to become a monk?" Xiaojuan asked, shy and annoyed: "Young Master Ling, if you don't want to sleep with me, just refuse me directly; why come up with such an absurd excuse?"

Ling Feng said: "I'm really not interested."

"You wouldn't happen to be impotent, would you?" Xiaojuan asked again.

Then she leaned in, pressing her large breasts against him: "How about I help you test it?"

Ling Feng steadied Xiaojuan, then asked: "Where is Mou Lili's hometown?"

"A small county town, I don't know exactly where. Young Master Ling, you haven't fallen for Sister Rose, have you? She isn't suitable for you; you don't know... she was very deeply in love with her ex-boyfriend. After her boyfriend died, we all said she might never fall in love with anyone again, at least not as much as she loved that boyfriend."

Ling Feng then asked: "Then tell me, how was she toward her ex-boyfriend?"

"All the money she earned during that time went to pay for her boyfriend's medical treatment. She worked several jobs a day and went to work as a caregiver at night. I dare say, neither Lady Meng Jiang nor the Seventh Fairy was as devoted as she was."

Ling Feng said: "That is quite loyal."

"They were together since middle school and even went through life and death together. Do you think she could still fall in love with someone else?" Xiaojuan asked.

Ling Feng ordered another drink and continued: "There are still quite a lot of devoted women in the world, it's just a pity I never run into them."

"Don't look down on women. Actually, sometimes women don't want money at all; as long as a man is good to her, she can give her life for him. Young Master Ling, do you believe me? I... am also that kind of woman."
