Chapter 283: Can They Be Together?

The gathering Mou Lili imagined should have been in some casual place, sitting down with a group of people to drink tea or alcohol, chat, and shoot the breeze.

However, when Ling Feng's car drove out of the city and headed toward a very high-end villa district, she couldn't help but ask: "You aren't planning on taking me to your house, are you? Young Master Ling?"

Ling Feng couldn't help but say: "How could my home be in a place like this? This area looks like it's full of the stench of money; it's all big villas."

That was true, Ling Feng's home was in a certain large compound.

The car drove for a while longer, and there didn't seem to be any more houses in front, so Mou Lili asked again: "Young Master Ling, you aren't taking me to some mountainous area to sell me, are you?"

Ling Feng asked amusedly: "Then tell me, how much money would be appropriate for me to sell you for?"

Mou Lili thought for a moment: "At least 500,000, right? That's the price my family set."

"500,000 isn't enough; I think you should add at least 10 yuan."

"Hehe, so stingy, you can't even spare 100 yuan."

"..." The two bickered all the way, and then Mou Lili saw a manor ahead, along with those three towering Castles.

She was stunned: "Did Disney secretly build this out here?"

"Of course not, this is a friend's home," Ling Feng said.

"A partner in crime?"

"Mou Lili, what are you thinking? Although I am a playboy in your eyes, my friends are all decent people, okay? Take the person who lives inside, for instance; he is the big CEO of the Baiyin Group."

"I've heard of this company."

"My friend is awesome, right?"

"More awesome than you," Mou Lili said.

Ling Feng was displeased: "Do you have to compare me to him?"

"Then why don't you live in a Castle?"

Ling Feng: "..."

Ling Feng said: "You don't live in a Castle either."

Mou Lili couldn't help but ask: "If I had your reincarnation skills, I would live in a Castle. I earned my own college tuition; can you do that?"

"That's not what I meant," Ling Feng quickly said: "I meant that I don't live in a Castle, and you don't live in a Castle, so the two of us are just right to hang out together."

Mou Lili gave him another "hehe."

As they were talking, they arrived at the Manor.

Ling Feng parked the car in the parking area inside and then took a sightseeing vehicle in.

Mou Lili stared in amazement, like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Ling Feng asked: "This Manor is beautiful, isn't it?"

"It can't even be described with words; just one word: opulent."

Ling Feng said: "Then I can bring you here to play often in the future; the owner inside is my buddy."

"Forget it, they might look down on me later."

Mou Lili felt that she couldn't fit in with rich people.

Ling Feng said: "They won't look down on you. The wife my buddy married wasn't from a family of equal status either. You'll see when you meet them in a moment."

Mou Lili soon met Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo.

At the first glance of them, Mou Lili felt they were an indescribably perfect match.

The main thing was Han Yangting; he was too handsome and his aura was too strong. No matter who was in front of him, they would unconsciously become well-behaved.

As for Bai Shuruo, she gave people a very kind feeling. At first glance, she was clearly a person with a very good temper, making one want to get close to her.

"Everyone, this is my friend, her name is Mou Lili," Ling Feng introduced.

Then he introduced Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo to Mou Lili.

Han Yangting nodded at Mou Lili, which counted as a greeting.

But not long after, he said another sentence: "Ling Feng rarely brings a girlfriend to my house; you are the first."

Mou Lili couldn't help but look at Ling Feng, asking with her eyes: Really?

Ling Feng nodded solemnly.

Mou Lili smiled and said to Han Yangting: "He might just be too bored lately. By the way, I'm not his girlfriend, just an ordinary friend."

Bai Shuruo, who was to the side, said: "Regardless, you are a guest once you've arrived. Please, sit down."

Mou Lili saw that Bai Shuruo had a big belly and, worried that she was tired, quickly went over to sit down.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and Ni Xianglei's family arrived as well.

This kind of family gathering was truly relaxed. No one forced you to drink, and no one chased you down to ask about your birth or background, except for Bai Shuruo, who asked where Mou Lili was from.

Mou Lili said it was just a small county town, and Bai Shuruo didn't ask any further.

Mou Lili even went to play with Xiaofeng and served food and drinks to everyone.

Having been a resident singer at bars for many years, her manners were poised and generous, neither humble nor pushy, neither impatient nor irritable.

After sitting here for about two hours, Ling Feng saw that the time was about right, so he took Mou Lili to tour the Manor, and they left on their own after the tour.

On the way back, Ling Feng asked Mou Lili: "How was it? My friends are easy to get along with, right? These are my best friends today."

Mou Lili said: "With friends like these, why are you still thinking about becoming a monk?"

"It's not like we can see each other every day. They have their own affairs. Look at Han Yangting's wife; she's about to give birth to their second child, right? Once the second child is born, they'll have their hands full."

Mou Lili asked: "They have so many nannies at home, what would they be busy with?"

"Even with nannies, you still have to spend time with the children properly; otherwise, what if the children call the nanny 'mom' in the future?"

Mou Lili burst out laughing.

Ling Feng asked her again: "How about it? Did you have a happy day today?"

"It's alright."

"That means you're happy."

"It's alright."

"Are you actually happy or not?"

"I'm happy. I've broadened my horizons and received respect," Mou Lili said.

Inside the Manor.

After Bai Shuruo and the others had dispersed, and Xiaofeng had been taken back to her room to sleep by Ye Caiyue, she snuggled into Han Yangting's arms again.

"Brother Han, have you noticed that Mou Lili has a bit of my sister's shadow in her?"

"Does she? I don't think they look alike," Han Yangting said.

"I don't mean their appearance, I mean their temperament. Although she isn't as beautiful as my sister, their personalities and the way they speak are somewhat similar."

Han Yangting held her and said, "I haven't studied women; I only understand you."

"Annoying." Bai Shuruo asked again, "Do you think Ling Feng and Mou Lili will end up together?"

Han Yangting pinched her nose: "When they were here just now, you didn't seem gossipy at all. Now that they've left, why are you so gossipy?"

"How could I have the nerve to ask to their faces? Besides, I saw that they really didn't have any physical contact; they don't look like they're dating. Maybe they really are just ordinary friends."

Han Yangting stroked her belly: "Don't think so much, just let things take their course."

"Brother Han, I still want to drink some strawberry juice."

"I'll go juice some for you," Han Yangting said.

When the strawberry juice arrived, Bai Shuruo said again: "Brother Han, Mou Lili said she is from a small county town. Do you think if they really fell in love, their families would agree to them seeing each other?"
