Although Lin Feng did not understand why Su Rong called him at this moment, he still answered the phone.
"Lin Feng, are you free right now?" Su Rong asked nervously on the other end of the line.
"Is there something you need?" Since the last time he met Su Rong's ex-husband, Lin Feng had not been in contact with her, and now there was a sense of unfamiliarity between them.
"If you’re free, I would like to invite you over for dinner," Su Rong said, unsure of how to express herself, ultimately deciding to be straightforward.
Originally, Su Rong did not intend to invite Lin Feng over for dinner at this time. It wasn't that she didn't want to; rather, the incident from last time had created some tension between them. After thinking it over at home, Su Rong realized that Lin Feng's actions were for her own good and that she had been too indecisive. Therefore, she hesitated to reach out to him, let alone invite him over for dinner, fearing he might refuse.
Some things, once spoken about, only lead to awkwardness for both parties.
However, today her little princess Xiao Ling was insisting on seeing Lin Feng. With no other choice, Su Rong had to call him. She knew that only by inviting Lin Feng over would Xiao Ling stop causing a fuss.
Xiao Ling was not usually one to throw tantrums; after all, children can’t always be obedient. She often had her little moods, but typically a few comforting words from Su Rong would suffice to calm her down. This time, however, no matter how much Su Rong tried to soothe her, Xiao Ling was adamant about seeing Lin Feng before she would eat.
Su Rong felt that she and Xiao Ling were all each other had; Xiao Ling was her soft spot. When the little girl acted spoiled, there was little Su Rong could do. Even though she didn’t want to call Lin Feng, she felt she had no choice.
Now that she had made the call, Su Rong naturally wanted to invite Lin Feng over for dinner as best as she could.
But then came the problem: how should she phrase the invitation? Should she say it was to thank Lin Feng for something or mention that her daughter insisted on seeing him before eating?
There was a distinction between these two approaches. Su Rong understood the difference between inviting Lin Feng voluntarily and being compelled to invite him.
The former might be more easily accepted, but as for the latter—Su Rong certainly didn’t dare to say that to Lin Feng.
She estimated that with Lin Feng's temperament, he probably wouldn't come back, because she knew that this man had his pride.
So, Su Rong thought for a moment and decided to tell Lin Feng that it was her who wanted to invite him to dinner.
However, she didn't realize that if she had said it was the little girl who missed Lin Feng, he would have come over without hesitation. But since she said it was her who wanted to invite Lin Feng to dinner, that made Lin Feng think for a while.
Of course, in the end, Lin Feng still agreed.
The reason was simple; Lin Feng thought about it and felt that there wasn't really any major conflict between him and Su Rong. Perhaps he was a bit angry at the time because Su Rong had stopped him, but upon reflection, Su Rong wasn't really anything to him. Lin Feng felt that if he truly got angry over this, it would be overreacting.
Lin Feng was very clear that the reason he helped Su Rong back then was entirely because of Xiao Ling, that little girl.
Well, no matter what, Lin Feng was already on his way to Su Rong's house.
Although the timing was quite rushed, Lin Feng was still driving while pondering what kind of gift to buy for Xiao Ling.
He really missed that little girl.
After thinking for a while and realizing he didn't have enough time to prepare something interesting as a gift, he ultimately decided to buy a high-quality doll for Xiao Ling from an upscale toy store. It was pure white and felt great; Lin Feng was very particular about this. The doll would likely be something the child hugged all night while sleeping, so the quality had to be top-notch.
Thus, Lin Feng bought the best doll available.
After purchasing the doll, Lin Feng pretended to put it in the trunk of his car; in reality, the doll was already in his magic ring.
Sometimes Lin Feng found this quite annoying. Every time he had to pretend to put things in certain places before secretly placing them into the magic ring felt like an unnecessary act.
He even thought sometimes how nice it would be if he could openly store things in the magic ring without anyone being surprised. But Lin Feng knew that this was just wishful thinking and completely impossible to achieve.
Finally, Lin Feng summarized his actions as "greediness" and expressed that he was willing to deal with the trouble it brought.
It is important to note that without the magic ring, Lin Feng would not have had such a smooth journey after his rebirth. In fact, if it weren't for the magic ring, Lin Feng wouldn't have been reborn at all.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Feng felt quite fortunate.
Well, the gift was purchased, and Lin Feng continued driving towards Su Rong's house.
Upon arriving at Su Rong's home, Lin Feng parked the car with familiarity, only to find Xiao Ling and her mom already waiting for him.
Seeing Xiao Ling made Lin Feng feel as if something deep within him had been struck. Despite being so mature now, he sensed a stirring of his soul.
He quickly walked over, and before he could even greet Su Rong, Xiao Ling had already rushed into his arms.
"Wow, little girl, you've become even prettier lately," Lin Feng said as he tightly embraced Xiao Ling.
"Is it because Lin Feng brother hasn't come to see me for so long that I've become pretty?" Xiao Ling suddenly asked him.
Before Lin Feng could respond to her unexpected question, Xiao Ling continued, "Then I'd rather not be pretty if it means Lin Feng brother can come see me every day."
Xiao Ling's voice still carried a hint of childishness, but her words tugged at Lin Feng's heart. He knew that Xiao Ling felt particularly close to him.
At that moment, Lin Feng even felt an impulse to tell Xiao Ling that he would meet her every day from now on. However, he refrained from saying it; he understood that it wasn't realistic.
Moreover, Lin Feng didn't want to lie to Xiao Ling, especially about such matters.
"Come here, Xiao Ling. Take a good look; let me show you a magic trick. I promise you that even the greatest magician in the world can't perform this trick," Lin Feng said, shifting the topic to something else to prevent Xiao Ling from feeling sad.
This was originally a gift prepared by Lin Feng for Xiao Ling, but Lin Feng presented the gift to Xiao Ling in an unexpected way.
"Great! I want to see Brother Lin Feng perform magic," Xiao Ling exclaimed. True to her childlike nature, although she had just expressed a desire to see Lin Feng every day, her attention was immediately captured when she saw him about to perform magic.
"Watch closely, don't blink, it's only going to happen once," Lin Feng said as he set Xiao Ling down and began his magic performance.
The magic show wasn't anything too elaborate; it was merely a way to pique interest. Although Lin Feng had never performed magic before, he had seen enough to know how it worked. At that moment, he was ready to start his performance.
"Puff..." Lin Feng blew on his right hand, and in the next instant, he surprisingly caught a Doll out of thin air.
In reality, the Doll had been summoned from the magic ring using his mental power in that brief moment.
Of course, this kind of magic was something even the greatest magicians in the world could not replicate.
While those magicians could pull out larger props like cars or houses, they were all aided by tricks and props; they could not achieve a transformation from nothing to something. Lin Feng, however, truly accomplished this transformation from nothing to something with the help of the magic ring.
This was what made it utterly irreplicable.
"Wow... Brother Lin Feng is amazing! He's even better than those magicians on TV," Xiao Ling exclaimed, clearly astonished by Lin Feng's trick. After a few seconds of being stunned, she happily hugged the Doll, which was much larger than her, while joyfully shouting.
In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Ling who was amazed; even Su Rong, who had been watching from the side, was left speechless by Lin Feng's feat. A child might not think too deeply about it, but Su Rong was not a child; she simply couldn't understand where Lin Feng had hidden such a large Doll.
Of course, this question would remain unanswered. Even if Lin Feng were willing to tell Su Rong the truth, she might find it hard to believe.
It was truly beyond imagination.
"Careful now! Here, let me help you carry it to your room," Lin Feng said. Although Xiao Ling wanted to carry the Doll herself, she was still too small for that task. So she had to rely on Lin Feng's help to make her wish come true.
Of course, while helping Xiao Ling carry the Doll, Lin Feng did not forget to say to Su Rong, "Rong Jie, come help us."
"Yeah, Mom, it's so heavy! Hurry up and help!" Xiao Ling initially thought she would carry it inside by herself, but upon hearing Lin Feng address her mom, she immediately felt that having the three of them carry the Doll home together was quite nice. She didn't know why, but she just liked it.
In a daze, Xiao Ling felt a sense of family togetherness.
Yes, that's right, it was the feeling of being a family together. Even Su Rong, who quickly joined in carrying the Doll after hearing this, had the same illusion.
With Su Rong's help, the Doll, which wasn't heavy to begin with, was soon moved into Xiao Ling's room. In the end, the little girl acted as the overall coordinator while Lin Feng and Su Rong became the movers.
"Alright, Lin Feng, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" When the three returned to the living room, Su Rong asked Lin Feng.
Watching Lin Feng and her daughter work together to carry a Doll back to the room made Su Rong feel somewhat excluded. It was at that moment that Lin Feng suddenly called out to her to join in helping.
At that moment, although Su Rong didn't want to admit it, she knew she felt a bit excited and hurriedly helped Lin Feng and Xiao Ling carry the Doll.
Of course, at that moment as well, Su Rong felt that any awkwardness from her previous encounter with Lin Feng and her ex-husband had dissipated. So now she naturally asked Lin Feng, "So you haven't eaten yet?"
"Yeah, I haven't eaten yet." Lin Feng had originally planned to come over for dinner; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Wolf King and the others eat first while he left. So he had nothing to be polite about and replied.
