Lu Yun intended to pursue a serious matter with Liu Fengxi, a matter that Feng Ying, seated on the bed, naturally understood was about to unfold—especially since the final protagonist of this affair would be herself.
Watching her elder sister Liu Fengxi now smiling warmly and moving toward Lu Yun’s body, Feng Ying suddenly exclaimed, “Sister, I came here not to engage in this with Lu Yun. Please don’t—”
Lu Yun, lifeless in tone, replied, “Fengying sister, you’ve listened to this for so long—do you really have no desire at all, or have you already settled this matter yourself?”
Liu Fengxi, who was gently pressing herself closer to Lu Yun’s body, listened intently and then stared at Feng Ying in astonishment, asking, “Fengying, Lu Yun is telling the truth. When he and I were engaged in this, were you not outside the entire time?”
Feng Ying gasped, her face turning crimson, and with a look of lingering resentment toward Lu Yun, she turned to her elder sister, Liu Fengxi, and stammered, "Sister, I... I just can't quite put it into words."
"Though he spoke as if asking questions, Liu Fengxi clearly understood why Lu Yun had acted the way he did. Lu Yun smiled and apologized to Feng Ying, saying, 'Feng Ying sister, you're leaving today, and I'm also about to go. I'm not sure when we'll be able to meet again. So I'd like to let my warm essence flow once through each of your and Fengxi sister's delicate mouths—last night I slept soundly, losing precious time. Now that it's still early, we have plenty of time to make good use of it.'
Feng Ying nodded. Now it wasn't just a matter of time—her father-in-law, Tingting's father, might at any moment step out of the house. Under the care of the medicine brought by Lu Yun, his condition had improved significantly. Previously, he'd been confined to the house due to his brother-in-law, Ma Fugui, being at home. Today, he was determined to return to his own home. He had insisted on getting up early to help Feng Ying pack their things. Though the room had soundproofing, if he couldn't find Feng Ying and came here, everything would be exposed. Although she greatly enjoyed the feeling of being ridden by Lu Yun, Feng Ying cared deeply about her husband's comfort. So, though she longed to be with Lu Yun, she had to hold back for now. There was still plenty of time ahead—she could find the right moment to make it happen. With a clear and concise expression of her concerns and thoughts, Lu Yun and Liu Fengxi no longer pressed the matter. After all, it wouldn't be fair to shatter the family over this. The pain wouldn't only affect Feng Ying and her husband—Tingting would suffer even more. After getting up, washing,
Feng Ying had already gone into the kitchen, yet Liu Fengxi, who had been following Lu Yun closely, seemed startled upon hearing Lu Yun's sudden burst of laughter. She reached out and gave him a solid clap on the back. "Someone truly understands me—Fengxi sister," Lu Yun silently praised himself in his heart. Still, he couldn't admit it aloud, for Liu Fengxi, who was always prone to jealousy and irritation, would surely hold it against him. Lu Yun noticed that Fengxi now frequently grabbed his ears or gave him gentle slaps from time to time, which left him quite vexed. "Fengxi sister, please don't misunderstand me," Lu Yun said, brushing off the situation with a light chuckle. "I just feel really happy right now, that's all." As he spoke, Feng Ying stepped out of the kitchen and hurried forward, approaching him and whispering, "Feng Ying sister, I'll help you." Then she passed on the aluminum pot she was holding. Feng Ying, in turn, seemed startled and hurriedly whispered, "Lu Yun, you mustn't call me 'sister' now. Only when no one is around can you do that. If Mr. Tingting hears you
Lu Yun chuckled, "Confidential."
"Cut it out!" Liu Fengxi gave Lu Yun a withering look, clearly displeased, muttering, "What's so special about it? Just don't say it if you don't want to. I myself will go ask Fengying—I'm even afraid I won't get an answer!" Upon saying that, she truly disappeared into the kitchen, and Lu Yun didn't know what they were whispering about. He waited outside for a long time, but when the two didn't emerge, he finally decided to go in himself.
Lu Yun quickly rose to his feet, as this was his future father-in-law. The only thing that made Lu Yun a bit uneasy was that his condition with his future mother-in-law, Mr. Tingting’s father, had improved noticeably—clearly recovering well. With a warm smile, Mr. Tingting’s father waved at Lu Yun and said, “Much better, Xiao Yun! This time, it really all thanks to you. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how long I’d have to wait before I’d be buried in the earth, given my age.”
Hmm… Mr. Tingting’s father was indeed quite polite. Lu Yun went over and helped him sit down at the bench, modestly saying, “Uncle, I’ve only done my part—this illness still requires you to maintain a strong will and fight the illness until the end.”
Mr. Tingting’s father settled on the bench and smiled, “I’m relieved that Tingting has entrusted you with this.”
Lu Yun sat down beside him, scratching his head and saying, “Uncle, I have many shortcomings—I’m far from as good as you think.”
He had a feeling that today would be the day he finally left this place of constant tension. Mr.
Lu Yun noticed Liu Fengxi closing the door, and felt a subtle sense of unease. Liu Fengxi beamed and whispered, "When Fengying came over, she only brought a few change of clothes and didn't have much to settle down with. I invited you in specifically because you're also leaving today. I'm not sure when you'll be able to come back to see me again. I don't want to be like Fengying, who has such a good daughter..."
Before Liu Fengxi finished speaking, Lu Yun immediately grasped the meaning behind her words. She furrowed her brows and said, "Fengxi sister, didn't I just bother you this morning when I came out? Are you thinking of something again? Right now isn't the best time—let me make it up to you when I visit next time."
After all, Tingting's father was already having tea in the outer room, and there was no soundproofing in this room at all. If things got too noisy, he'd surely notice.
