Chapter 1157 - 1162: Calling to Account
Su Zi got out of the car and returned to Villa No. 3, not paying attention to Ning Aoxue behind her as she dashed straight to Lin Feng’s room and knocked on the door excitedly, shouting, "Lin Feng, wake up, the sun is shining on your butt!"After knocking heavily a few times, Su Zi assumed Lin Feng would quickly open the door, as she knew her voice was quite loud. No matter how deep Lin Feng slept, he would usually come to open the door by now.
But to her disappointment, she waited at the door for more than ten seconds and still, the door didn’t open!
"Is Lin Feng not in?" Ning Aoxue asked curiously as she walked up behind Su Zi.
Su Zi turned the handle lightly, finding it locked from the inside, shook her head, and said, "He should be here! But it seems like this guy hasn’t woken up yet, let me call him a few more times..."
"Forget it!" Ning Aoxue waved her hand, advising Su Zi with some experience, "Lin Feng is quite alert; if he doesn’t get up with you shouting that loud, he must have been exhausted from last night. Maybe he went through a lot of battles and is very tired! Let’s wait until noon to call him."
"Is that so?" Su Zi looked doubtfully at Ning Aoxue and asked, "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"What’s wrong?" Ning Aoxue looked at Su Zi annoyed, "Are you suspecting I’m lying to you on purpose?"
"No..." Su Zi replied with an embarrassed smile to Ning Aoxue, "Of course, I believe Miss Ning’s judgment, it’s just that if Lin Feng wasn’t hurt, he shouldn’t be too tired to get up!"
"Maybe he got a minor injury..." Ning Aoxue said casually.
Su Zi was taken aback and mumbled, "Then I should go in to check on him... Should I climb in through a window?"
"Better wait a bit..." Ning Aoxue, knowing Lin Feng liked sleeping in, disagreed with Su Zi’s suggestion.
As Ning Aoxue and Su Zi were arguing, Lin Feng’s door suddenly clicked open, and they both stared into Lin Feng’s room to find Tang Rou, dressed in pajamas, looking at them awkwardly.
"Tang—Tang Rou... How come you’re here?" Su Zi’s eyes widened, unsure how to describe her current feelings. She only felt a sinking feeling in her heart, as if suddenly blocked by something, finding it hard to believe what she was seeing...
Ning Aoxue was also stunned; she thought Lin Feng would do something unpredictable like getting up early, but she absolutely did not expect Tang Rou to walk out of the room...
Tang Rou, a bit embarrassed, looked at Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, her face reddening as she said, "Su Zi, Aoxue, I... I came over to find Lin Feng last night, and because of an accident, I had no choice but to stay overnight, I’m sorry..."
After Su Zi and Ning Aoxue exchanged a silent glance, they each saw a strong killing intent in the other’s eyes, not directed at Tang Rou, but at the still-sleeping guy...
"Could it be that Lin Feng sent Ning Aoxue and me away last night just to meet with Tang Rou?! This bastard, he’s too much!" Su Zi fumed inwardly, thinking if Lin Feng really did that, she wouldn’t know if she could forgive him, given that she and Lin Feng were already in a relationship!
But after thinking it over slightly, Su Zi felt something was off, given that she also encountered those female Assassins who ambushed Lin Feng last night. By logic, Lin Feng shouldn’t deceive her!
Ning Aoxue thought similarly at first, feeling a bit stifled, but later she too found it odd. She didn’t believe Lin Feng would send everyone away just to meet Tang Rou alone. If so, Lin Feng could’ve just met Tang Rou in a hotel!
Ning Aoxue knew Lin Feng had done that kind of thing before...
"Tang Rou, when did you come over last night?" Su Zi asked, unwilling to give up, looking at Tang Rou with a proprietary air.
"I can’t remember clearly, around eleven o’clock, probably!" Tang Rou, seeing nothing wrong with Su Zi’s attitude, answered truthfully.
"Eleven or so? You’re not lying?" Su Zi’s face eased. When she and Ning Aoxue left, it was around eight, so if Lin Feng wanted to see Tang Rou, he wouldn’t have waited that long!
"I didn’t lie..." Tang Rou looked a bit uneasy, glancing at Su Zi, speaking softly. She vaguely felt Su Zi seemed to have become more aggressive after not seeing her for over a month.
"That’s good then!" Su Zi smiled but then caught sight of Lin Feng’s pajamas on Tang Rou, her face turned a bit awkward as she frowned slightly and asked, "Tang Rou, talk about what happened last night when you saw Lin Feng, what actually happened?"
Tang Rou glanced at Su Zi, lowered her head uneasily, and said softly, "I heard Lin Feng came back from Imperial City yesterday, and I wanted to see him. So around ten, I took a ride in a car driven by my family’s driver and came to the outside of this community. Just as I called Lin Feng, he suddenly warned me not to come near this villa..."
Tang Rou recounted the unexpected incidents from the previous night with a lingering fear. Her words were coherent and neatly summarized how someone captured her and then Lin Feng rescued her solo from the deserted hills within a few minutes...
Upon learning of Tang Rou being kidnapped by bandits the previous day, both Su Zi and Ning Aoxue showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. They almost suspected Lin Feng of just sending them away to meet Tang Rou, proving they were a bit petty!
Su Zi and Ning Aoxue doubted Lin Feng’s explanations, but they believed Tang Rou, as she never lied.
"Tang Rou, I am sorry, I didn’t know so much happened to you last night. I thought... I thought Lin Feng deceived us!" Su Zi apologized to Tang Rou, whilst not inquiring about what happened between Lin Feng and Tang Rou upon their return. Lin Feng and Tang Rou’s relationship had been publicly announced for some time, and although Su Zi felt uncomfortable, she wouldn’t cause a fuss about it between Lin Feng and Tang Rou.
This time, Tang Rou suddenly spoke, looking at Su Zi, and timidly asked, "Su Zi, did something happen between you and Lin Feng?"
Suddenly, Su Zi’s face stiffened, feeling the atmosphere shift. Although Tang Rou was gentle, she wasn’t someone easily pushed around...
According to some, Su Zi knew Tang Rou was Lin Feng’s officially acknowledged girlfriend; she still sought out Lin Feng, making her the interloper!
This role was inherently somewhat disgraceful; though Su Zi felt no guilt, she couldn’t fully face Tang Rou...
