Finally, Shen Su stopped in front of Feng Feng and smelled her scent again, likely from her usual shampoo, which she hadn't changed in years.
Shen Su asked, "Shall we go in together?"
Feng Feng nodded and walked ahead, maintaining a certain distance from Shen Su. Shen Su followed behind her, his gaze sweeping over her hips, her sway making him want to find something to pin her against.
Shen Su felt a surge of heat. After entering the house, he went to grab a bottle of ice water.
The simultaneous appearance of Feng Feng and Shen Su was naturally the doing of Xing Zheng and Lin Mei. The idea was Lin Mei's first, and Xing Zheng cooperated with her. Therefore, neither Feng Feng nor Shen Su knew the other was coming. Xing Zheng spoke a few words to Feng Feng before going to find Shen Su in the dining room.
In the living room, only Feng Feng, Lin Mei, and Lin Jingchu, who was playing with toys, remained.
Feng Feng asked Lin Mei, "You called them over, didn't you?"
Lin Mei nodded, readily admitting, "To create an opportunity for you. How are things between you two?"
Feng Feng hadn't had a chance to share last night's events with Lin Mei and Lan Lan. She glanced towards the dining room and, in a few words, informed Lin Mei of what had happened. Lin Mei's eyes widened upon hearing it.
After a moment, she sighed, "As expected of CEO Feng."
This composed approach, even someone as experienced as Shen Su, would likely find it hard to resist. In relationships, blind initiative isn't always effective; it requires skill. Feng Feng's way of pursuing him was much better than Lin Mei had imagined, and her previous worries were likely unfounded.
Not long after, the kitchen aunt finished preparing dinner. Feng Feng joined Lin Mei and sat down in the dining room. She didn't go to find Shen Su but sat with Lin Mei and Jingchu. Jingchu was at the edge, Lin Mei in the middle, Feng Feng on the other side, and Shen Su opposite her.
Despite Lin Mei and Xing Zheng's presence, Feng Feng's attitude towards Shen Su remained unchanged. She spoke to him generously, without any awkwardness, as if they were just ordinary friends.
Seeing Feng Feng's demeanor, Xing Zheng was also surprised. Her composed performance didn't suggest someone who hadn't pursued men before; rather, she seemed as experienced as Lan Lan. Xing Zheng then glanced at Shen Su, who appeared to be in a similar state to Feng Feng.
With the parties involved so calm and composed, Xing Zheng stopped worrying about them too much, focusing his attention on his wife and son. Throughout the meal, he kept serving Lin Mei food, as if caring for a child.
This made Lin Mei a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Don't bother with me, I can do it myself."
Xing Zheng, unconcerned about others being present, raised an eyebrow and retorted, "You're my wife, who else would I take care of?"
Lin Mei: "..."
Jingchu, as if to add to the liveliness, chimed in, "I want to serve my wife too. Mommy and Daddy, where is my wife?"
The innocent words of a child amused the four adults at the table. Shen Su smiled and said to Jingchu, "The baby in your godmother's belly is your future wife."
Upon hearing this, Jingchu looked at Feng Feng, clearly applying Shen Su's words to her. "Godmother has a baby?"
Feng Feng smiled and explained to Jingchu, "It's not me, it's another godmother."
Jingchu nodded, a look of anticipation on his face, as if he were truly looking for a wife. Feng Feng couldn't help but chuckle and teased Lin Mei and Xing Zheng, "If Mr. Liang knew his child was already being claimed before it was even born, he'd be furious."
Xing Zheng laughed, "It's no use him being angry; Lan Lan has the final say in this." Everyone present knew that Liang Yu Feng was Lan Lan's devoted follower, and Lan Lan held absolute authority at home.
After discussing this matter, Shen Su's phone suddenly rang. His phone was on the table, and when Feng Feng heard the sound, she instinctively glanced across. She couldn't clearly see the name on the screen, but she could vaguely make out that it was a woman's name.
Shen Su picked up his phone and walked out to answer it. For some reason, Feng Feng's first thought was of the woman he had dinner with last night.
Her mood was undeniably affected. Even the calmest person's expression would have soured slightly. Xing Zheng and Lin Mei noticed this and exchanged a look, communicating with their eyes.
Shen Su's call wasn't long. When he returned, Xing Zheng casually asked, "Whose call was it?"
Shen Su sat down before replying, "A friend. They're on a business trip to Nanjiang recently and invited me to dinner."
With Shen Su's answer, Feng Feng was certain it was likely the person from last night. She remained silent, not joining the conversation, and quietly ate her food.
Shortly after dinner, Jingchu began to get sleepy. Lin Mei and Xing Zheng were busy taking care of their child and didn't have time to entertain Feng Feng and Shen Su. At half-past nine, the two of them left Zhuhua Villa one after another. This time, Feng Feng was still in front, with Shen Su behind.
It was already dark. The lights in the Zhuhua Villa courtyard were on, casting a glow upon her, further enhancing the ambiguous atmosphere. Shen Su looked at her waist and hips, the desire he had suppressed for a day and a night completely uncontrollable.
He quickened his pace, catching up to her, and placed a hand on her. Feng Feng didn't dodge. She turned to look at him, and though she didn't speak, her eyes seemed to hook him.
Shen Su caressed her, leaned in close to her ear, his lips brushing her hair, and whispered, "Would you like to have a drink at my place?"
Feng Feng smiled and asked, "Do you have good wine at your place?"
Shen Su's voice grew hoarser, "You'll find out when you see for yourself."
Feng Feng nodded, "Okay, let's go then."
The adults understood each other implicitly. They both knew that the intention was not merely for a drink.
Shen Su and Feng Feng got into their respective cars. His car was in front, and Feng Feng followed behind. She had been to his place once last week and had already memorized the address, so she wouldn't go wrong following him.
In less than half an hour, their cars stopped in front of the villa. After Shen Su got out, he walked towards Feng Feng's car. As soon as she stepped out, Shen Su embraced her fully. They stood there, intimately holding each other, as they entered the villa.
Shen Su also enjoyed drinking. His living room had a wine cabinet, and the bar area was larger than Feng Feng's apartment.
Feng Feng walked with Shen Su to the wine cabinet. Shen Su generously said to her, "Choose whichever one you'd like to drink."
Feng Feng didn't stand on ceremony. She opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of Martini, a very sweet wine.
Shen Su got glasses and added ice. They sat down at the bar.
Feng Feng hadn't taken off her jacket. Shen Su gazed at her chest, a half-smile playing on his lips, "Doesn't it feel uncomfortable wearing your jacket?"
Feng Feng lifted her wine glass and glanced down at her clothes, "It's fine, it doesn't stop me from drinking."
Shen Su continued to stare intently, "What are you wearing underneath?"
Feng Feng took a sip of her wine, "A sports bra."
Shen Su asked again, "Did you go to yoga this afternoon?"
Feng Feng nodded, "Nothing else to do at home, so I did some casual exercise."
Shen Su's gaze shifted downwards, settling on her legs.
