Xia Xue was on the verge of going mad with anger.
She knew her parents better than anyone; how could they be so easily fooled by Lin Feng's appearance?
Lin Feng wasn't like this! Can you please open your eyes?
Xia Xue didn't know how to explain, so she could only glumly eat her rice.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xue Jingru went to open the door.
"Old Xia, Mr. Tang and Xiao Wan are here!"
Xue Jingru saw Tang Qingshan and Tang Wan, the grandfather and granddaughter, appear at the door and quickly called out to Xia Weiguo.
"Mr. Tang, please come in! We're just about to eat. All these dishes were made by my son-in-law, and his cooking is excellent."
Xia Weiguo stood up to welcome them, not forgetting to show off his son-in-law.
Tang Qingshan, however, couldn't be happy. He looked at Lin Feng, who was sitting at the dining table, and replied, "Weiguo, my young friend Lin Feng and I already know each other. You don't need to introduce us."
"Ah! You know my son-in-law?"
Xia Weiguo was a bit surprised. Tang Qingshan was the head of the Tang family, and it wasn't easy for ordinary people to get in touch with him.
"Uncle Xia, I've met Mr. Tang a few times, so we're old acquaintances."
Lin Feng stood up and explained.
Xia Xue, however, inwardly felt a sense of foreboding. Tang Wan claimed to be Lin Feng's girlfriend and was now at their home. She wondered if Tang Wan was here to cause trouble.
"Since you know each other, that's even better! Come in and join us for dinner."
Xia Weiguo snapped back to attention and invited Tang Qingshan and Tang Wan to the table.
Tang Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony. Since Lin Feng had cooked the meal, he was keen to taste Lin Feng's culinary skills.
As a result, upon tasting it, Tang Qingshan was astonished.
Having grown accustomed to rich and fatty dishes, he found that eating Lin Feng's cooking was like tasting the flavors of his childhood hometown.
The fish was fresh and fragrant, the vegetables were light and delicious, devoid of the greasiness of restaurant food, carrying more of the essence of nature.
"Not bad, excellent cooking, delicious!"
Tang Qingshan couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.
Tang Wan also tasted it, her beautiful eyes shimmering with admiration.
She knew Lin Feng was a capable person, but she hadn't expected his culinary skills to be so exceptional.
"Little brother, you keep surprising me more and more. I'm so curious, is there anything you *can't* do?"
Tang Wan smiled charmingly, her captivating eyes full of allure.
"Haha, my son-in-law's cooking is good, isn't it? My Xiaoxue used to know a few boys, but compared to Xiao Lin, they fall far short."
Xia Weiguo was even happier. To receive praise from Tang Qingshan was no small feat.
"Weiguo, isn't your Xiaoxue quite close to Yang Ming? Did they break up?"
Tang Qingshan asked, puzzled. He didn't want Lin Feng to marry another family's daughter.
"Mr. Tang, Yang Ming is also very outstanding, but my Xiaoxue just doesn't like him. As a father, I can't force her, can I?"
Xia Weiguo knew that Yang Ming was considered part of the Tang family, and he worried about offending Tang Qingshan, so he explained tactfully.
"Weiguo, feelings can't be forced. You don't need to explain; I understand."
Tang Qingshan's heart sank, feeling a sense of disappointment.
"Xiao Wan, how are you? Have you found someone you like?"
Xue Jingru, not wanting to neglect Tang Wan, proactively initiated a new topic.
Xia Xue and Lin Feng's expressions changed simultaneously, and they both looked at Tang Wan.
"Aunt Xue, I already have someone I like."
Tang Wan replied with a smile, her enchanting eyes fixed on Lin Feng.
"You have someone you like? That's wonderful! That young man must be very outstanding, right?"
Xia Weiguo became more animated. He knew a bit about Tang Wan, recognizing her as a strong businesswoman, and knew that it was difficult for ordinary men to capture her heart.
"He is indeed outstanding. Not only do I like him, but many other girls do too."
Tang Wan's words held a double meaning.
"Xiao Wan, then you need to act fast. Such an outstanding young man shouldn't be snatched away by other girls."
Xue Jingru advised. As women, she knew how sought-after good men were, and that a moment's delay could mean a missed opportunity.
"Mom, the dishes are getting cold. Let's eat quickly!"
Xia Xue interrupted their conversation. If it continued, Tang Wan would expose her secrets.
"Yes, let's eat! Hurry and eat while it's hot!"
Xue Jingru finally realized and quickly served Tang Wan some food.
Seeing Xia Xue's flustered demeanor, Tang Wan knew her guess was correct; Xia Xue was indeed using Lin Feng as a shield.
She didn't expose it, but as they ate, Tang Wan's high heels would occasionally brush against Lin Feng's legs under the table.
Lin Feng naturally felt Tang Wan's subtle movements and tried to move away, but found Tang Wan becoming more daring. She even took off her shoes and gently caressed his thigh with her bare feet clad in black stockings.
It was a flirtation! An overt flirtation!
Lin Feng's face became unnatural, and fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
This was too much! To dare to seduce him so openly in front of Tang Qingshan and the others, this woman was truly a siren.
Tang Wan, however, was very pleased with Lin Feng's reaction. Seeing him sweat from nervousness, she giggled alluringly.
Xia Xue noticed Lin Feng's strange expression and shot him an annoyed glare, signaling him not to embarrass himself.
Lin Feng also wanted to act normally, but Tang Wan wouldn't let him.
Helplessly, Lin Feng slipped his hand under the table, intending to grab Tang Wan's foot and make her behave.
However, as he grabbed, he realized something was amiss.
Tang Wan was wearing stockings, but this leg was bare.
The touch was smooth and delicate, with excellent elasticity.
What was going on? Did Tang Wan secretly take off her stockings?
Well, since you're teasing me, I'll tease you back!
Lin Feng's mischievous thoughts took over, and his large hand began to explore this leg.
Xia Xue, meanwhile, had a flushed face and was on the verge of exploding.
Lin Feng, that scoundrel, was too shameless! He was sneakily touching her thigh under the table.
Even if he touched, why was he still caressing it endlessly? The key point was, what was he squeezing?
Xia Xue was going insane.
If it weren't for everyone at the table, she would have flipped the table and beaten Lin Feng up.
But she couldn't, so she could only desperately try to pull away.
However, Lin Feng wouldn't stop; he was becoming more outrageous, even lifting her leg.
In her shame and anger, Xia Xue could no longer tolerate it. She kicked Lin Feng directly in the crotch.
Lin Feng was startled and quickly shielded himself with one hand, thus avoiding a disaster.
However, through this action, Lin Feng suddenly realized that the owner of this leg was not Tang Wan, but Xia Xue.
Xia Xue glared fiercely at Lin Feng, her eyes red with fury.
In contrast, Tang Wan calmly ate her rice, not even looking at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng awkwardly scratched his head, thinking he was completely finished now.
"Lin Feng, come with me for a moment. I need to tell you something."
The meal was almost over. Xia Xue seized the opportunity and gestured for Lin Feng to follow her to her room.
"Just say whatever you need to say. My leg is numb, and I don't want to move."
Lin Feng knew what Xia Xue wanted and immediately refused.
"Whether you want to move or not, you have to. Stop wasting time! Hurry up and come!"
Xia Xue couldn't help but snap.
This shout startled Tang Qingshan and the others.
"Xiaoxue, we have guests. Be gentler with Xiao Lin!"
Xue Jingru glanced at Xia Xue.
"Mr. Tang, I apologize for this. My daughter has a bad temper."
Xia Weiguo explained awkwardly.
"She is indeed a bit fiery."
Tang Qingshan smiled. He had initially thought Xia Xue was quite gentle and beautiful, but now he saw that wasn't the case at all!
What could Lin Feng do? Under Xia Xue's forceful insistence, he reluctantly went to her room.
Tang Wan watched their secretive actions and chuckled knowingly.
