"Why are you still here so late, Lin Feng? You might as well stay; there are plenty of rooms here." Su Rong had already promised Lin Feng that he could stay, so it was natural for her to invite him again.
"Hehe... there's no need to trouble yourself, Chen Xinni. Let's go," Lin Feng insisted on his original intention and said to Su Rong.
"No way! If you're leaving, you can go by yourself. I'm staying here tonight," Chen Xinni was unwilling to leave just like that. She wanted to see how things would unfold and, if given the chance, test Su Rong's feelings towards Lin Feng and whether she had any affection for him. She certainly didn't want to leave without finding out.
"That's right, Chen Xinni is right. Lin Feng, why not stay for the night? We just finalized such a big deal; it would be better if you stayed so we can continue discussing it. I still have many details to go over with you," Su Rong continued to persuade him.
"Alright then, since Rong Jie has said so, I can only comply. I'll stay," Lin Feng saw that Chen Xinni was adamant about not leaving and that Su Rong genuinely wanted him to stay, so he agreed.
"Well, it's getting late. Why don't you sit for a bit? You're probably hungry, right? I'll go prepare a simple late-night snack for you," Su Rong said happily upon hearing Lin Feng's agreement and began to head towards the kitchen.
"Hehe... Rong Jie, there's no need to be so polite. We're friends; there's no need for such formalities. Don't bother with it," Lin Feng felt embarrassed about having Su Rong cook for them and quickly stopped her.
"Hehe... it's no trouble at all; it's just a small matter. You are my guests now; I must show my hospitality. Just sit tight and don't refuse me," Su Rong felt relieved after hearing Lin Feng's words earlier and was in high spirits, excited about preparing the late-night snack. It seemed that this meal was a must.
"Great! Rong Jie, I’d love to taste your cooking. Do you need any help?" Chen Xinni chimed in as she felt hungry too.
"No need for help; it's not a big deal. Just sit back; the snack will be ready soon," Su Rong quickly declined her offer. Although the late-night snack wasn't anything extravagant, Su Rong wanted to express her gratitude towards Lin Feng personally; in her view, preparing it herself showed sincerity.
"Alright then, Rong Jie, I'll keep an eye on Lin Feng for you to make sure he doesn't run away," Chen Xinni had never been in the kitchen before; her offer to help was merely polite talk. If she were allowed in the kitchen, she might end up being more of a hindrance than a help. So when she heard Su Rong say no help was needed, she quickly added.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Rong Jie. Since I've said I'm not leaving, do you really need to keep an eye on me?" Lin Feng found himself unable to refuse at this point but didn't mind Chen Xinni's comment about "keeping an eye on him."
Su Rong was used to seeing Lin Feng and Chen Xinni bicker and didn't take it seriously; she smiled and went into the room to prepare the late-night snack while ignoring their playful banter.
"Hehe... look at you pretending so much! I think you can't wait to spend the night here," Chen Xinni remarked after Su Rong left. She recalled how differently Lin Feng treated Su Rong compared to herself and felt a surge of anger as she teased him.
"Hehe... do you think you're a worm in my stomach? How would you know what I'm thinking?" Lin Feng shot back.
"Hmph... you jerk! I'm not talking to you anymore. You have no gentlemanly manners at all," Chen Xinni realized she couldn't win against Lin Feng in their verbal sparring. Besides, she didn't want to scold him too harshly since he was someone she liked deep down. In fact, even Chen Xinni herself realized that she enjoyed their banter; at least it meant Lin Feng paid attention to her. In her view, if there came a day when he stopped teasing her, she'd truly struggle to find opportunities to communicate with him.
"I'm sorry, but my gentlemanly demeanor is not for you to see," Lin Feng said with his usual arrogant attitude towards Chen Xinni.
To Lin Feng's surprise, Chen Xinni did not respond this time; she simply stared at her Mobile Phone. However, observant Lin Feng noticed that although Chen Xinni was holding the Mobile Phone, she wasn't actually doing anything with it. The screen was just displaying the main menu.
Lin Feng didn't know why, but seeing that Chen Xinni wasn't engaging in a verbal sparring match with him made him quiet as well. Instead, he began to think about how to deal with Su Rong's husband and his "lover," hoping to make them lose even more badly.
After all, as long as he handed that Prescription to Su Rong, with Lin Feng's confidence in Tesla, he was sure that Su Rong would quickly promote this cosmetic based on the formula. At that point, capturing the market would be inevitable, and the profits would be astonishing. According to the contract, they were supposed to share one percent of those profits with him, which was something Lin Feng was unwilling to accept.
Lin Feng also knew that seeing the transition from losing money to potentially making money would make Su Rong very happy and satisfied. She had just said that as long as she wasn't losing money, she would be willing to work for free. This showed that she didn't care much about the profits from this venture; even if she had to give away one percent of it to them, her reluctance wouldn't be too strong.
In contrast, Lin Feng, who couldn't stand such things, felt that since he had taken the initiative in this matter, he had to crush his opponents completely so they would never have a chance to recover.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng couldn't come up with anything else and decided to let it go for now. After all, there was still a month left; he had plenty of time to find a way. Recently, he had almost wrapped up matters in City B, a mid-level city, and everything was proceeding smoothly with various projects being taken over by others. He was also looking forward to playing around with Su Rong's treacherous ex-husband and seeing who would ultimately outsmart whom.
"Here we go! Lin Feng, Chen Xinni, this is my signature dish. Give it a try!" After about half an hour, Su Rong finally brought out a pot of food and called out as she walked.
"Rong Jie, I could smell it from far away! What delicious food do you have?" Chen Xinni, who was never shy according to Lin Feng, quickly cleared off some space on the table and cheerfully spoke as she saw Su Rong approaching with the pot.
Seeing Chen Xinni suddenly shift from silence to being lively put Lin Feng at ease as he smiled and stood up.
"Come on! Rong Jie's specialty is on the table!" With the dish made by Su Rong, Chen Xinni exclaimed as she set it down.
"Here, Lin Feng, eat more! If it's not enough, I'll make more!" Su Rong followed behind with bowls and chopsticks for the table, specifically reminding Lin Feng.
"Hmph... Rong Jie is biased," Chen Xinni pouted like a child upon hearing Su Rong's words, playfully complaining.
"Alright, alright! I was just telling Lin Feng before coming over to serve you! Chen Xinni, sit down and eat. Today we have the chance to gather here; it's fate! Let's enjoy this late-night snack together. Be careful; it's hot!" Knowing how to treat people well, Su Rong quickly reassured her and helped serve a bowl for Chen Xinni, speaking kindly.
"Hehe... Rong Jie, I was just joking! I know you're the best to me; I can handle it myself," Chen Xinni quickly replied, not really angry at all.
"Okay then, everyone sit down! Rong Jie, I'm going to savor your specialty late-night snack. It looks delicious just by looking at it!" Since he had decided to stay, there was no need for politeness at this moment. Besides, he really was feeling hungry; especially when Su Rong placed the pot on the table, his hunger intensified as he spoke.
"Well, as long as you like it, come on, give it a try." Su Rong felt delighted seeing Lin Feng's greedy expression; finally, Lin Feng enjoyed the late-night snack she prepared, so her efforts were not in vain.
"Wow, Bird's Nest Porridge! Rong Jie, you really put in a lot of effort!" Chen Xinni scooped some of the contents from her bowl and was surprised to see what kind of porridge it was.
"Hehe... I actually prepared this early in the morning; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get it ready so quickly. Go ahead and taste it; don't just focus on talking. It'll get cold and won't taste good later," Su Rong said while serving Lin Feng some porridge. Hearing Chen Xinni's surprise, she hurriedly added.
She knew that both Lin Feng and Chen Xinni were wealthy individuals, at least they could afford bird's nest, so they wouldn't be surprised by it. Thus, she maintained a calm demeanor.
"Hehe... Rong Jie, I have to say, I've never had Bird's Nest Porridge before in my life. Thanks to you tonight, I finally have the chance to taste this precious delicacy. I’ll definitely have a few more bowls," Lin Feng said. Although he became wealthy later on, he had never tasted such an expensive item as bird's nest before. Seeing the opportunity now, he couldn't help but express his excitement.
"If you like it, eat more," Su Rong said as she filled Lin Feng's bowl and placed it in front of him. Hearing Lin Feng's words, she thought he was just being polite and felt there was no need to take it too seriously. She simply replied to him.
"Alright then, I won’t hold back." Lin Feng saw Su Rong’s expression and thought she genuinely believed him. He didn’t feel anything was wrong and picked up his bowl to start eating.
It must be said that on such a cold night, having a pot of warm food for a late-night snack was quite nice; at least it warmed his stomach and felt extremely comfortable. This was how Lin Feng felt while drinking the Bird's Nest Porridge from his bowl.
Thus, the three of them took turns speaking while enjoying their porridge. By the time they finished eating, the pot was nearly empty. Looking at the empty clay pot, Su Rong smiled again.
Although they said they were full, Lin Feng felt embarrassed to eat more. Otherwise, with his appetite, he could probably finish another pot by himself. However, sitting with two women for a late-night snack made him hesitant to indulge completely; after all, he wasn't someone without shame or decorum.
