Turning her attention to Ling Feiyan, she had just settled her luggage and was unaware of what had transpired in the villa.
Seeing Xia Xue and the other girls chatting, she proactively joined them.
“What are you discussing?” Ling Feiyan asked.
“Miss Ling, we are talking about Lin Feng,” Shen Xinyue inquired with curiosity.
“We are all women, and Lin Feng isn’t present. Just be honest, did you approach Lin Feng because you like him?”
Xia Xue also looked on expectantly.
Ling Feiyan shook her head decisively, “It’s impossible for me to like him. I’m here to learn martial arts. If Lin Feng won’t teach me, please pass on what you’ve learned to me. Once I’ve mastered it, I’ll leave immediately.”
“Alright then, we’re on the same side. I’ll help you,” Shen Xinyue stood up and shook hands with Ling Feiyan.
“We’re on the same side? What do you mean?” Ling Feiyan didn’t quite understand.
“It’s simple. Besides you and me, the rest are Lin Feng’s women. They are like a family, and only we are maids,” Shen Xinyue said with a self-deprecating smile.
Ling Feiyan seemed to understand. “Okay, then I’ll rely on you from now on.”
“Is it really that serious? Have we started forming factions? If what you say is true, then we need to divide ourselves more clearly,” Xia Xue chuckled and pulled Lu Jingzhe and Su Qingya aside.
“Sister Qingya, let’s form an alliance amongst us girls,” Xia Xue suggested.
“Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke are a pair and are close. They will surely compete with us for Lin Feng in the future.”
“Therefore, the three of us must stick together and defend against them!” Xia Xue was well aware of everyone’s personalities and knew who could get along with whom.
“I, I think I’ll pass. I don’t want to compete, and I don’t think we need to form factions,” Su Qingya was somewhat hesitant, fearing she would cause trouble for Lin Feng. She didn’t ask for much; as long as she could stay by Lin Feng’s side, she was already content.
“Sister Qingya, I think what Xia Xue said makes sense. Things are relatively peaceful now, but there will definitely be friction in the future due to competition for Mr. Lin.”
“I agree to an alliance!” Lu Jingzhe shared the same sentiment as Xia Xue. She often watched palace dramas and was well aware of the complexities involved.
“Exactly. Tang Wan is quite assertive. She appears indifferent on the surface, but she’s very skilled at pleasing Lin Feng.”
“Lin Feng has been helping her with her company recently, and his focus has been on her.”
“So, for someone like her who acts alone, we don’t need to ally with her, and she wouldn’t deign to ally with us.”
“Liu Mengyao seems to not fight or compete, but Lin Feng clearly listens to her more.”
“And with Luo Keke helping her, it will be difficult for us to contend with them in the future.”
“Therefore, the three sisters must be united and not let them monopolize Lin Feng.” Xia Xue analyzed the situation. She didn’t want Lin Feng to be constantly focused on other girls; she also wanted Lin Feng to spend more time with her. Since she felt this way, other women surely felt the same, which highlighted the importance of an alliance.
“Alright then, I’ll go along with you.” Su Qingya had no strong opinions and couldn’t refuse Xia Xue and Lu Jingzhe, so she silently joined them.
At this moment, Lin Feng was completely unaware that several women had begun forming their own small groups. His entire focus was on Luo Keke.
He was pinned down on the bed by Luo Keke, feeling both helpless and thrilled. Luo Keke was so playful, having tied his hands and feet with ropes and giving him a full-body massage. The sensation was incredibly exhilarating.
“Little Lin Zi, how is it? Is my technique impressive?” Luo Keke asked, a triumphant smile filling her face as she looked at Lin Feng’s strong reactions.
“Keke, I think we need to calm down,” Lin Feng said.
“Your family is still trying to find a good match for you. You don’t need to cling to me; I can’t give you happiness.”
“Besides, your brother cares a lot about you. If you act so casually, your brother will surely be furious.”
“Please, let’s calm down a bit, okay?” Lin Feng tried his best to maintain some composure and reason with Luo Keke.
“That’s right! It’s precisely because my family always wants to dictate my fate that I must rise up and resist.”
“This isn’t just a moment of impulse; I genuinely like you. I’m giving myself to you willingly.” Luo Keke replied very earnestly.
This was the first time Lin Feng had seen Luo Keke answer his questions so seriously.
“Keke, it seems you’re not a naive innocent. You’ve had this planned all along, haven’t you? You want me to be your shield, to avoid your family arranging your marriage, right?” Lin Feng asked with a smile.
“Exactly! So, just surrender obediently. I, Keke, will be responsible for you!” Luo Keke giggled and, unable to hold back any longer, kissed Lin Feng.
What else could Lin Feng do? Luo Keke had made her intentions so clear. If he refused now, he would truly hurt her.
