Alright, regardless of everything, today everyone can be said to have achieved their wishes. After a bit of pleasantries, Lin Feng left.
Of course, as Lin Feng was leaving, he was informed by Xiao Yue to report to the company on time tomorrow. To this, Lin Feng naturally smiled and agreed; he really couldn't find a reason not to.
Driving back to his residence, Lin Feng shared the day's events with He Ting. After all, He Ting was currently his nominal "superior," so Lin Feng felt it necessary to report certain matters to him.
Naturally, it was up to Lin Feng to determine what should be reported to He Ting and what shouldn't. Lin Feng's personality wasn't the type that would absolutely follow others' orders. To put it nicely, he had a strong personality and his own opinions; to put it bluntly, he lacked organizational discipline.
Regardless of how one might describe him, Lin Feng was just like that, and he didn't care how others viewed him.
After reporting the situation to He Ting, Lin Feng prepared to go to sleep.
However, at that moment, Lin Feng's phone suddenly rang. It wasn't a big deal that his phone rang; what mattered most was that the call was from Xiao Yue.
"Hello, Lin Feng, are you asleep?" Once the call connected, Xiao Yue asked.
"Um, not quite yet. What's up?" Lin Feng wasn't sure why Xiao Yue was calling at this hour but answered honestly.
"Nothing much. I need to go out for a bit. Can you accompany me?" After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yue said.
"Accompany you? It's pretty late; isn't that inappropriate?" Lin Feng genuinely felt it was inappropriate. He knew that Lin Mei was likely very concerned about his interactions with Xiao Yue. Although he had taken advantage of this during the day, going out with Xiao Yue at night—no matter the reason—would be a big deal if Lin Mei found out.
Moreover, Lin Feng also understood that given the nature of the Lin family, it wouldn't be difficult for them to notice this. Perhaps they had already arranged someone to keep an eye on Xiao Yue.
It is possible to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Lin Feng, but it would be difficult to prevent him from noticing. After all, Lin Feng possesses Mental Power, and if Lin Mei were to assign someone to watch him, he believes he would know immediately.
This is necessary and a source of confidence for Lin Feng.
However, the person is not watching Lin Feng; they are watching Xiao Yue. Therefore, if Lin Feng and Xiao Yue go out at midnight, they would certainly be aware of it.
"What's inappropriate about it?" Xiao Yue asked when she heard Lin Feng say that.
"Hehe... Xiao, you know very well that you are engaged. Going out at night with a man like me is not appropriate, is it?" Lin Feng replied directly when he saw Xiao Yue's question.
"Hehe... Lin Feng, do you remember what your job is here?" Xiao Yue thought for a moment after hearing Lin Feng's words and asked.
She certainly understood the reasoning behind what Lin Feng said, but for some reason, tonight she suddenly wanted to indulge herself for a while. This was similar to having Lin Feng come over as her personal assistant in front of Lin Mei. She knew that if the Lin family found out about this, they might have thoughts about it. However, at this moment, Xiao Yue couldn't care less about that. Perhaps subconsciously, the reason she acted this way was indeed to provoke some thoughts from the Lin family.
Xiao Yue had been constrained by the Lin family for too long; this constraint was a form of mental imprisonment. Being trapped for so long inevitably led her to rebel against it.
And Lin Feng might just be the catalyst for her rebellion.
"As your personal assistant, I was planning to report to the company early tomorrow and get familiar with my work," Lin Feng said, genuinely confused about what Xiao Yue meant by her statement regarding their current conversation.
"Hehe... Lin Feng, it seems you don't understand what a personal assistant is. Let me tell you: there are many types of personal assistant roles, but the role I need you to fulfill right now is to accompany me and protect me. Do you understand?" Xiao Yue playfully said on the other end of the phone.
"Uh, does that include this? Am I supposed to be at your beck and call?" Lin Feng truly didn't realize that being a personal assistant involved such duties; as far as he knew, it wasn't typically like that.
"Well, I am your boss now, so what I say goes," Xiao Yue replied.
"Alright, boss, I'm on my way. Where shall we meet?" Lin Feng realized that Xiao Yue probably just wanted someone to accompany her for a walk, and since he was the one who had just saved her, he naturally became the chosen person.
In fact, Lin Feng understood that it wasn't that Xiao Yue had any romantic feelings for him; rather, her social circle was too small. This woman could only showcase her wisdom and talent in business; at other times, she was even more innocent than the average girl.
Thinking about it, she had been deprived of love since childhood, and throughout her life, everything she did needed to be planned by others. It was indeed impossible for her to live optimistically.
This was also why Lin Feng suddenly felt that the beautiful Xiao Yue was quite pitiful.
He knew that living in such a family meant that often, many things couldn't be done just as one wished.
"Um, come pick me up at my house," Xiao Yue said. Although she was innocent, she understood that going out with Lin Feng at night in a sneaky manner would make it seem like they were hiding something. Therefore, she thought it would be better for Lin Feng to come to her house openly; at least it wouldn't give off a secretive vibe.
"Ah..." Lin Feng realized that this beautiful woman on the other end of the line might have suddenly felt rebellious, which led her to make such a request. However, he didn't expect her rebellious spirit to be so intense that she wanted him to come pick her up openly. Miss, how could you put the Lin family in such a position?
"Is that not okay?" Xiao Yue asked.
"Well, that's a bit difficult. How about this: you drive out and find the nearest place to your house to park. I'll come pick you up there. How does that sound?" Lin Feng suggested.
"Uh, that's fine then." Seeing Lin Feng's response, Xiao Yue didn't know what else to say. She wasn't the type of girl who disregarded others' feelings. The reason she had "commanded" Lin Feng to accompany her earlier was out of necessity. Of course, this also gave Lin Feng a reason to stay with her so late.
In fact, this was also an excuse she made for herself.
Next, Xiao Yue told Lin Feng a location; it was a private club that was closest to her home and perfect for parking.
"Lin Feng, how long will it take you to get there?" Xiao Yue asked.
"Well, how long will it take you?" Lin Feng did not answer Xiao Yue's question but instead asked her back.
"I... I might need about five minutes," Xiao Yue thought for a moment and estimated that it would take her around five minutes to get there, but she was also quite happy.
"Okay, see you in five minutes. I'll wait for you," Lin Feng replied upon hearing Xiao Yue's answer.
"Five minutes? Can you really make it there in that time?" Xiao Yue asked.
"Hehe... you'll find out when the time comes," Lin Feng said.
"Lin Feng, don't be like that. You may have good skills, but please don't speed at night. If something happens, it won't be worth it," Xiao Yue advised.
"Alright, I understand," Lin Feng acknowledged her concern and agreed.
"Okay then, see you soon," Xiao Yue said with a smile before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, Lin Feng quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs to drive out.
Xiao Yue was the same; since she had initiated the plan for Lin Feng to accompany her, she had already changed her clothes and was ready to go.
Driving her car, Xiao Yue did not inform anyone at home and simply left.
After Xiao Yue left, her family realized she had suddenly gone out late at night. Her father, Xiao Jing, the head of the Xiao Family, was puzzled by the report from his subordinates. He couldn't understand why Xiao Yue was acting so unusually tonight; usually, at this time, she would either be with her mother or studying in her room.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Jing immediately decided to send someone to follow Xiao Yue. The purpose was twofold: first, to find out where she was going so late at night, and second, to ensure her safety.
“Master, the young lady just left, and the Lin family members followed her. If we rashly follow them, won't that be inappropriate?” This subordinate had been working under Xiao Jing for over ten years and was currently considering Xiao Jing's perspective.
“You don’t understand. It’s precisely because the Lin family members have followed her that we must follow as well. Do you want people to think we, the Young Lady of the Xiao Family, don’t care when she goes out at night?” Seeing that his subordinate was still hesitating, and knowing that if the Lin family found out about this, it wouldn’t have a good outcome, Xiao Jing became somewhat angry and shouted.
“Yes, Master, I will take care of it right away.” Realizing he was overthinking, the subordinate quickly replied and then hurried out.
“Sigh…” Watching his subordinate leave to handle the matter, Xiao Jing sighed. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about his daughter’s unusual behavior tonight.
At the same time, Lin Mei also received notification from her subordinate that Xiao Yue had gone out in the middle of the night.
“Oh, she just ran out? Did she say where she was going?” Lin Mei asked.
“No, it seems that the Xiao family members also don’t know why the Future Young Lady suddenly went out. We are following her now,” the subordinate replied honestly.
“Alright, I understand. Just follow her and notify me immediately if anything happens. Also, make sure to protect her safety,” Lin Mei instructed since her subordinate didn’t have much information at the moment.
“Understood. We are following her closely and won’t let anything happen to the Future Young Lady.” The person assured her before hanging up the phone.
