Ling Feiyan noticed the varied gazes from everyone in the restaurant and felt so ashamed she wished she could disappear into a crack in the earth.
In her entire life, she had never said such shameless words.
It was one thing for Lin Feng to be unwilling, but he had to announce it loudly. This guy was clearly toying with her.
Ling Feiyan bit her lip, her lips turning pale from excessive anger.
Yet, despite her burning rage, she had nowhere to vent it.
She was acutely aware of Lin Feng's terrifying nature. Falling out with Lin Feng would be akin to asking for humiliation, and worse, this fellow might even spank her in public.
Just thinking about it was embarrassing!
"Enough, stop talking. Can we just pretend I never said anything?"
After enduring for a long time, Ling Feiyan managed to utter this utterly unassertive sentence.
"Alright, alright, I won't say another word. Let's eat."
Lin Feng was thoroughly enjoying himself; teasing Shen Xinyue and Ling Feiyan was the greatest amusement in his life.
It was precisely while Ling Feiyan and Lin Feng were dining that a black Bentley pulled up to the entrance of the Western restaurant.
The car door opened, and Shen Nan, dressed in a suit, alighted with Shen Xinyue.
"Brother, let's not walk too closely. If anyone sees us, all my previous efforts will be in vain!"
Shen Xinyue was somewhat worried about encountering someone they knew.
"Xinyue, you worry too much. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know we're siblings?"
"If we're seen, there are many ways to explain it. I, your brother, am concerned for you and wanted to treat you to a better meal."
Shen Nan smiled, looking at Shen Xinyue, who had visibly lost weight. As a brother, his heart ached.
He couldn't imagine how much hardship his sister had endured while undercover beside Lin Feng!
"Brother, I'm actually doing alright, not as bad as you imagine!"
"Also, there's something I feel I need to tell you."
Shen Xinyue bit her lip, looking conflicted.
"What is it? Why are you still hesitating to tell me? Just say it. Your brother can handle it!"
Shen Nan sensed that Shen Xinyue had something bad to say and put on a nonchalant expression.
"Then I'll say it. You like Lu Jingzhe, right? Do you know what kind of girl Lu Jingzhe is?"
Shen Nan chuckled, "Silly girl, of course, I know. Jingzhe is learned and talented, ambitious, a rare good girl, and also a great help in my work."
"Brother, you're mistaken. Lu Jingzhe isn't what you think. She's actually quite liberal, and she doesn't like you. She likes someone else and has even been intimate with him!"
Shen Xinyue's face was etched with distress. She truly feared her words would upset her brother.
As expected, Shen Nan's expression turned grim, "Xinyue, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Jingzhe like someone else and be intimate with them? She wouldn't!"
"Brother, it's true, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"She's been with Lin Feng all this time, and their relationship has developed very quickly. They're already together."
"I'm your sister, would I lie to you?"
Shen Xinyue became a little anxious. She revealed everything because she wanted her brother to give up sooner, lest he become more deeply involved.
Shen Nan clenched his fist. The news was indeed a blow, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"I understand. It seems I underestimated Lin Feng. If Jingzhe chose him, there must be a reason for her choice."
"I'm fine. Love is about mutual affection. Even if she doesn't like me, I can find someone more outstanding. It's not important."
Although Shen Nan appeared unfazed on the surface, his heart felt heavy.
"Brother, honestly, it's quite normal for Lu Jingzhe to like Lin Feng. Lin Feng is truly formidable; he can't be understood with normal judgment."
Shen Xinyue worried that Shen Nan might target Lin Feng and took the initiative to remind him.
"What? Do you have feelings for Lin Feng too?"
Shen Nan snorted coldly, sensing a shift in Shen Xinyue.
"No, how could I like him! I'm just stating facts!"
Shen Xinyue quickly denied it.
"That's good. Your mission is to monitor him. If you get involved, our father would regret it deeply."
Shen Nan smiled and led Shen Xinyue into the Western restaurant, holding her hand.
"Xinyue, order whatever you like. You've been through a lot recently."
Shen Nan stroked Shen Xinyue's back, his eyes filled with a brother's affection and care for his sister.
As a result, just as the siblings sat down, Shen Xinyue happened to notice Lin Feng and Ling Feiyan seated directly in front of them.
Upon seeing Lin Feng there, Shen Xinyue's face turned pale with fright.
Lin Feng naturally noticed Shen Xinyue too. Seeing her arrive with Shen Nan, Lin Feng immediately suspected something.
"Well, Brother Shen Nan, you've come here to dine as well!"
Lin Feng proactively stood up and walked over.
Shen Nan was equally surprised by this turn of events, and his heart involuntarily tensed.
Talk about running into trouble!
Just as he feared, what was he supposed to explain now?
"Brother Shen Nan, don't be so nervous. I told you I'd introduce Miss Shen as your girlfriend, but you wouldn't agree."
"Now look, I've caught you red-handed!"
Lin Feng laughed heartily and sat down next to Shen Xinyue.
