Chapter 786: I just like listening to you reason

~7 min read 1,393 words

Entering the Lin Family's Da Men is somewhat troublesome, but once inside, it becomes relatively free.

Zhao Yuwan brought Mu Ling (Feng Xuelan) to her own residence.

The Sihe Courtyard is a multi‑section courtyard with many rooms.

Zhao Yuwan has a set of rooms that belong to her here.

All kinds of facilities are complete; the conditions are not inferior to the apartments in the Green Edge Building.

"Your place is not bad!"

After entering the house, she put down her things, and Mu Ling said with a smile.

Zhao Yuwan smiled, leapt onto the sofa, and lay down.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Zhao Yuwan looking weak and listless, Mu Ling also sat down on the sofa and asked casually.

"I'm under a lot of pressure, mainly psychological pressure."

Zhao Yuwan murmured.

Mu Ling laughed and said: "Yeah! In such a big mansion with so many people, I'd feel the same."

Zhao Yuwan said: "Actually, no one treats me badly or puts pressure on me; it's just that I feel restrained for no reason."

There are some things Zhao Yuwan finds hard to tell Mu Ling.

That is the process of how she met Lin Feng, which has some unsavory aspects.

Whenever she thinks of it, she feels it's a stain on her life; besides herself, no one else remembers it.

Just then, a young woman in a cheongsam knocked and entered.

After seeing Zhao Yuwan, she handed her something like a menu.

Then she left.

Zhao Yuwan opened it and saw it was the schedule for tomorrow's New Year.

What time to get up, what time and where to gather and eat, etc.

The arrangements above are very detailed, with timing down to the minute.

Mu Ling leaned over curiously to look, then smiled and said: "It's like rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala; hey, aren't you performing on New Year's Eve tonight?"

Zhao Yuwan shook her head: "I used to think about it, but now even Han Xiang has refused."

Her meaning is that the two of them no longer need to use the gala to boost their fame.

With that time, it would be better for the whole family to sit together and watch others perform, relaxing.

"Can I go out for a walk?"

Mu Ling asked.

Today is the day before New Year's, and Zhao Yuwan has no special arrangements here.

The only thing is to visit the elders Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun.

After returning, they just wait for tomorrow's New Year gathering to have a lively time together.

After thinking, Zhao Yuwan nodded and said: "Okay! But the courtyard is huge; some places cannot be entered freely. For example, the study, the kitchen… Of course, even if you wanted to go in, you couldn't."

Most importantly, you need to watch out for the two dogs in the house… Actually, there's not much to wander around.

"Then I'll go out for a walk; your makeup is a bit smudged."

After reminding Zhao Yuwan, Mu Ling opened the door and went out.

The Sihe Courtyard is large, filled with flowers; walking alone inside for a long time makes it easy to get lost.

Especially for those unfamiliar with the place.

Of course, Mu Ling does not belong to that group, because her memory is excellent.

Although many buildings in the courtyard look alike, they are actually quite different.

However, this time she wants to get a little lost on purpose.

If luck is good, she could even have a beautiful encounter with the master of this place, namely Lin Feng.

That is what she hopes for.

If she meets him, great; if not, it's no big deal.

Not long after Mu Ling left,

the doorbell rang.

"Come in!"

Zhao Yuwan, who was holding a small mirror to touch up her makeup, said lightly.

Then she put down the small mirror.

The door opened, and the one who entered was not the housemaid but the smiling Lin Boss.

Seeing Lin Feng, Zhao Yuwan was very surprised and stood there stunned for a moment.

"Tomorrow is New Year's; why are you only coming home now? You returned to Yanjing several days ago."

Lin Feng sat down beside Zhao Yuwan and said with a smile.

While speaking, Lin Feng put his arm around Zhao Yuwan's waist.

Zhao Yuwan leaned gently against Lin Feng and said: "I just wanted to stay a few more days in the apartment; anyway, coming back I wouldn't see you, you're such a busy person."

Her words carried a hint of resentment.

Lin Feng shook his head and said: "I think you're under a lot of psychological pressure and overthinking."

"Our family may be big, but Caiwei woman keeps making more and more rules; yet our family is still different from other wealthy clans, and the most important thing is to have human warmth."

"Mm!"

Zhao Yuwan nodded.

Lin Feng's warm words brought Zhao Yuwan to tears.

Not the slightest exaggeration.

Zhao Yuwan's psyche is just that sensitive.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Lin Feng asked casually.

Zhao Yuwan shook her head, then pursed her lips and said, "I just got up and did yoga, and right after that I came over with a friend."

"To keep your figure, you don't have to skip breakfast, right? And an enhanced body won't get fat."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

"I'm definitely hungry, I'm saving my stomach to have a big New Year's feast at your place!"

Zhao Yuwan said with a laugh.

Lin Feng said, "I've got snacks on hand; do you want to fill your stomach first, then go see your parents? They asked about you this morning."

Lin Feng always carries snacks with him, something Zhao Yuwan knows.

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, she reached into his pocket.

"Who is that friend of yours?"

Lin Feng leaned against the sofa back, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Her name is Mu Ling, a beautiful woman! I previously ran into trouble, and she helped me resolve it. She's from the Mu family, not someone of unknown origin..."

Zhao Yuwan spoke indistinctly.

Lin Feng already knew; he was just asking casually.

Even Lin Shiyi knows this woman has trouble, let alone Lin Feng.

A couple of days ago, information about Mu Ling appeared in Lin Feng's hands.

On the surface, Mu Ling seems to have no problems at all.

Actually, in Lin Feng's eyes, she is full of flaws.

As a young lady of the Mu family, under normal circumstances she wouldn't befriend someone like Zhao Yuwan.

The two of them are essentially from two different worlds.

Only in fairy tales do princes and princesses make friends with commoners.

Lin Feng doesn't believe that, given his son Lin Shiyi's cleverness, he wouldn't notice that this woman has problems.

Lin Feng's mouth twitched up, and he couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Yuwan looked up at Lin Feng's smile and also became happy.

Lin Feng stroked Zhao Yuwan's hair and said, "Have you ever thought about withdrawing from the circle and just enjoying life?"

Zhao Yuwan shook her head and said, "My job isn't just about making money; otherwise I wouldn't have worked last year."

"I just want, when I'm young, to have something to do; otherwise, idling all day, I wouldn't know what I'm capable of."

"Alright! As long as you're happy. Next time you run into trouble, remember to call me; whoever makes you angry, I'll hang them up and beat them!"

Zhao Yuwan chuckled, then shook her head and said, "It's just a small matter; no need to bother you, the big boss."

"Actually, if Mu Ling hadn't shown up, I could have handled him myself."

"I just didn't want to reveal my strength in front of outsiders."

"These days, when filming TV dramas and movies, directors keep asking if I've ever trained in martial arts."

"Many times, after getting into character, I almost can't help really striking out and beating those actors into pig heads."

As she said this, Zhao Yuwan couldn't help laughing.

Lin Feng gave a slight smile.

Zhao Yuwan said, "You! Don't just listen to me talk; you need to speak too!"

"What should I say?"

Lin Feng asked.

Zhao Yuwan said, "I like it when you reason with me; you should reason with me!"

"Reasoning, that's what you said, so don't blame me for being naggy."
