"Grandpa..." Liu Yanran elongated her voice, speaking to Liu Lao with a hint of a pout.
Indeed, she had feelings for Lin Feng, but that didn't mean she could accept Liu Lao saying such things about Lin Feng in front of her. This was just her shy nature as a girl.
"Hehe... Lin Feng, you know, Yanran is quite stubborn and has high standards. She still doesn't have a boyfriend, and I'm really worried," Liu Lao would not give up on his plans just because of Liu Yanran's pout. This was a rare opportunity; after all, Lin Feng was quite handsome and would make a good grandson-in-law.
"Hehe... Yanran is so outstanding; I believe she will find her true love soon," Lin Feng could only continue to say this.
"Hehe... I think Yanran seems to like you quite a bit. Why don't you two consider dating?" Liu Lao was very pleased with Lin Feng's words and continued to smile broadly, this time directly stating what he wanted to say.
"Uh... Liu Lao, I already have a girlfriend," Lin Feng did not expect Liu Lao to be so direct in front of him and his granddaughter about matchmaking them.
"Hehe... Does that have anything to do with you having a girlfriend?" Liu Lao didn't care much about Lin Feng's refusal and asked back.
"Well... uh..." Lin Feng really didn't understand Liu Lao's meaning. How could it not matter if he already had a girlfriend?
However, what Lin Feng didn't know was that Liu Lao belonged to an older generation where it was normal for a man to have several close female friends as long as he had the capability. What Liu Lao cared about was whether his granddaughter would benefit from being with Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng wasn't married yet, as long as Liu Yanran became his girlfriend, he could push for their marriage, and then his precious granddaughter would be well taken care of.
Therefore, what Liu Lao wanted most at the moment was for Lin Feng to become his precious granddaughter's boyfriend. As for everything else, he believed that things would fall into place naturally.
"Grandpa... Lin Feng doesn't mean that at all. Are you really that worried about your granddaughter not getting married?" Liu Yanran, being a girl who had never been in love and feeling shy, couldn't sit still after her grandpa recommended her so openly in front of Lin Feng. Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be rejecting the idea, she scolded her grandpa and left the place that made her feel embarrassed.
Yes, Liu Yanran did have feelings for Lin Feng. Earlier, she indeed meant for her grandpa not to be so straightforward about it. But once her grandpa had said it out loud, she thought since it was already said, she wouldn't stop it anymore and instead began to pay attention to Lin Feng's attitude.
"Lin Feng, I already have a girlfriend," his hesitant attitude made Lin Feng's heart sink. Frustrated, he realized that the last remark, although directed at her Grandpa, might have been indirectly aimed at him.
"Yan'er..." Liu Lao suddenly realized that he hadn't considered his granddaughter's feelings. He quickly stood up, but after calling out a few times without receiving a response from Liu Yanran, he was at a loss for what to do.
"Liu Lao, the matter has been resolved. I should take my leave now," Lin Feng said awkwardly, wanting to excuse himself.
"Lin Feng, look at this old man; my thinking can't keep up with you young people. I unintentionally upset Yan'er and made her run off. Could you please go check on her?" Liu Lao ignored Lin Feng's attempt to leave and instead requested him.
"Uh... Liu Lao, I..." Lin Feng was taken aback by Liu Lao's request at this moment and was about to refuse.
"You're the best person to go right now. Just apologize to her and comfort her a bit. If I go now, she definitely won't see me. Don't be fooled by her composed appearance; she has quite the temper. Last time she went out drinking was proof of that. She has never touched alcohol before, yet she went to a bar alone and got herself drunk. When she gets angry, she can do anything," Liu Lao urged Lin Feng, trying to convince him not to refuse. In short, if Lin Feng didn't go see her now, who knows what kind of trouble she might get into like last time when she got drunk late at night.
"Uh... Was Yanran drinking for the first time last time?" Lin Feng had been considering refusing but realized he might have misunderstood Liu Yanran's character after hearing Liu Lao's words.
"Yes! Hurry over there; I'm quite worried about her," Liu Lao continued to urge.
"Okay, I'll go take a look," Lin Feng thought it would be rude to refuse again at this point. Besides, it would only take a moment to check on her, so he agreed.
After leaving Liu Lao's study, Lin Feng asked a member of the Liu Family for directions to Liu Yanran's room and then headed over.
Liu Lao's and Liu Yanran's rooms were not far apart; they were both located in the central area of Liu Family Village. Normally, walking through this area required many assessments, but after today's events, everyone in the Liu Family held great respect for Lin Feng. So they let him pass without any questions or obstacles.
"Knock knock knock..." Lin Feng knocked on Liu Yanran's door; it was important to be polite. Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate.
"Didn't I say I don't want to see anyone? Are you deaf?" Liu Yanran felt annoyed when she heard the knocking and shouted in frustration.
"Yanran, it's me, Lin Feng. Your Grandpa asked me to come check on you," Lin Feng said, knowing that Liu Yanran might not realize it was him.
"My Grandpa, my Grandpa, it's always about my Grandpa. Lin Feng, I'm just being sentimental; you should leave. I don't want to see you," Liu Yanran refused to meet anyone because she was in a bad mood. Of course, she didn't want to see Lin Feng either, especially since he had been stammering at her Grandpa's place. Liu Yanran didn't think she had the face to see him now.
"Yanran, I'm sorry, I..." This was the first time Lin Feng encountered such a situation, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Afraid of saying too much and making Liu Yanran feel worse, he could only utter the words "I'm sorry."
"Lin Feng, just go. I just need some time alone; I don't need your pity. Please leave," Liu Yanran shouted again at the door.
"Yanran, please open the door and let me in. Your Grandpa is worried about you," Lin Feng naturally wouldn't leave just like that. He was genuinely concerned that Liu Yanran might do something reckless again, as her Grandpa Liu Lao had mentioned.
"My Grandpa, my Grandpa—if my Grandpa hadn't called you here, would you completely disregard my well-being?" This time Liu Yanran fell silent and sat on the bed hugging her knees, cursing Lin Feng in her mind for being such a fool and having a pig's brain.
"Yanran, please open the door. Let's talk properly," Lin Feng knew that Liu Yanran was deliberately ignoring him and could only continue to persuade her.
"Liu Yanran, if you don't open the door, I'm going to break it down! I'm counting to three: one... two..." Lin Feng was genuinely worried that Liu Yanran might be feeling suicidal and shouted from outside.
It wasn't just Lin Feng overthinking; he had already learned from Liu Lao that Liu Yanran had gone wild after getting drunk for the first time. He feared that because of him she might do something reckless again. Rather than regret later, it was better to stop her now. At least he wanted to make sure she was okay before leaving.
Sure enough, when Lin Feng counted to "two," he deliberately slowed down his pace, but Liu Yanran still showed no response. "Three..." Lin Feng could only start counting "three," knowing that at this point he would have to break in.
As soon as he finished counting "three," Lin Feng used his magic ring to unlock Liu Yanran's door. Although it was breaking in, specifically speaking, he simply unlocked her door without damaging it.
Entering Liu Yanran's room, Lin Feng finally saw both her and the space she occupied.
Liu Yanran's room was decorated warmly, indicating that she was a girl who paid attention to details. At that moment, she was sitting on the bed with her legs hugged to her chest, tears still on her face, which made Lin Feng feel a surge of compassion.
"Uh... I'm sorry. Since you wouldn't open the door, I had no choice but to come in like this," Lin Feng said with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood as he noticed Liu Yanran seemed somewhat normal.
Liu Yanran wasn't surprised by Lin Feng entering her room in such a manner; in her view, it would have been surprising if he hadn't. She merely glanced at him before burying her head again. Seeing her like that, Lin Feng realized she was still crying.
"Yanran, your grandpa is very worried about you." Lin Feng didn't let Liu Yanran's indifference affect his mood. He was there to comfort her, and besides, he felt responsible for making her cry, so it was only natural for her to ignore him.
He approached Liu Yanran's bedside and spoke softly to her. "Yanran, your grandpa really cares about you. He specifically asked me to check on you and encouraged me to talk to you." Lin Feng brought up Liu Lao because he knew that Liu Yanran had a good relationship with her grandpa. He thought mentioning her grandpa's concern might help lift her spirits.
However, it was true that Lin Feng lacked experience in this area. Just moments ago, Liu Yanran had been internally cursing him for constantly mentioning "your grandpa," and now here he was bringing it up again—wasn't that just asking for trouble?
After a brief calm before the storm, Liu Yanran lifted her tear-streaked face and suddenly hugged Lin Feng tightly. The young girl bit into his chest while simultaneously hitting him, muttering in her heart, "This is what you get for making me angry!"
Lin Feng truly hadn't expected this reaction from the young lady. For a moment, he found himself at a loss for how to respond and could only plead for mercy. Despite being someone who commanded respect—even feared by figures like Liu Fei—he found himself completely subdued by Liu Yanran's unexpected outburst. All he could do was beg for forgiveness.
