Chapter 122: Chapter 114: What’s your monthly salary?Chen Feng heard this sentence, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he had made some decision. Just as Lin Mu was about to withdraw his hand from Chen Feng’s grip, Chen Feng smirked and tightened his grip, trying to give Lin Mu a taste of superiority! As a Special Forces King undefeated on the North African Battlefield, Lin Mu could easily see through Chen Feng’s little trick. He snorted coldly in his heart, thinking, "If you want to play like this with me, go home and practice for another ten or eight years first!" Lin Mu decided to hold back initially, letting Chen Feng use his strength first. But no matter how hard Chen Feng tried, Lin Mu’s expression remained unchanged, relaxed, without a hint of discomfort. Moreover, Chen Feng felt Lin Mu’s hand was as hard as a rock—a true case of an egg hitting a rock! Looking at Chen Feng, Lin Mu smiled slightly and applied a bit more force to his hand, watching as Chen Feng’s facial muscles twitched violently. "I’ll have to rely on Young Master Chen to look after us in the future!" Lin Mu said as he gradually increased the pressure. Chen Feng frowned, his face turning red like a hen unable to lay an egg! But with Xiong Xiaoxiao in front of him, mindful of his image, Chen Feng gritted his teeth and persisted, trying not to show any pain. From Lin Mu’s perspective, it was clear: this guy with his slanted mouth and crooked eyes was really suffering! At their second meeting, Lin Mu still didn’t want to make things difficult for Chen Feng. After all, he was the legitimate fiancé, matched in family status, while Lin Mu was merely playing a role. It’s important to give him some face and not embarrass him too much, just make him understand to stop pretending! "Young Master Chen, shall we go inside and chat?" "Oh... let’s go inside... let’s go inside!" Chen Feng, face red as a beet, nodded repeatedly. Lin Mu smiled, released his grip, and looked at Xiong Xiaoxiao, saying, "Xiaoxiao, let’s go inside." "Okay, good!" Xiong Xiaoxiao nodded, holding Lin Mu’s arm as they walked in. Standing at the door, Chen Feng kept shaking his right hand, feeling a constant subtle pain in his arm, trembling uncontrollably—such an unpleasant experience! Chen Feng stared at Lin Mu’s back, spat in dissatisfaction, and then lifted his leg to follow them inside! Inwardly, he thought, what kind of guy is this? He looks so skinny, yet why is he so strong? Here I am, a big guy at 1.8 meters tall, yet in front of him I seem like a weakling! Xiong Xiaoxiao used her key to open the door, just as the housekeeper who was about to open it stood there. "Miss, you’re finally back! Sir and Madam have been waiting impatiently!" A woman dressed as a housekeeper greeted Xiong Xiaoxiao. Xiong Xiaoxiao nodded, "Aunt Liu, are my parents home?" "Sir had something to attend to, so only Madam is waiting for you in the living room." Aunt Liu led the way, then turned around and called inside to Xiong Xiaoxiao’s mother, "Madam, Xiaoxiao and the others are back." Xiong Xiaoxiao, with her arm around Lin Mu, walked inside, "Mom, I’m back." Chen Feng followed them in, and as Lin Mu looked up, he saw a graceful and plump middle-aged woman sitting in the main seat of the living room, sipping tea with elegance. Seeing the two young ones enter, she quickly set her teacup down and stood up slightly. Lin Mu understood that this was likely Nanny Xiong, the mistress of the Xiong Family. So he put away his usual carefree demeanor and bowed earnestly, "Hello, Auntie!" Nanny Xiong merely glanced at Lin Mu out of the corner of her eye, nodded slightly, and then walked right past him to greet Chen Feng with a smile, "Fengzi, you’re here!" "Auntie, I’m here to see you again!" Chen Feng exclaimed, taking out expensive Indian spices and Myanmar jade from behind him, "These are just little tokens, my father brought them back from Southeast Asia. They’re not worth much, just a small gesture..." "Look at you, kid. I’m already happy to have you here, why bring gifts? Don’t do this next time!" Nanny Xiong was chatting and laughing with Chen Feng, treating Lin Mu as if he were invisible. She led Chen Feng past Lin Mu to sit on the sofa next to her, "Fengzi, sit here with Auntie!" "Auntie, you’re too kind to Fengzi!" Chen Feng shot a mocking glance at Lin Mu while politely nodding to Nanny Xiong. Lin Mu glanced at Xiong Xiaoxiao, shrugged helplessly, and Xiong Xiaoxiao could only shrug back. Of course, this was within Lin Mu’s expectations. People today mostly judge by appearances, and Chen Feng’s attire, especially with ten rings on his fingers, certainly made a much stronger impression than the low-key Lin Mu! Moreover, according to the information Xiong Jian gave him, the Chen Family and the Xiong Family both worked in the same system in the South China Military Region, and the two families were old acquaintances. More importantly, their marriage was arranged from before birth, something Lin Mu couldn’t compete with. Lin Mu didn’t really care, he was just playing along anyway! "Fengzi, don’t be polite now, let’s have Auntie peel a banana for you to eat!" "Thank you, Auntie!" seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Nanny Xiong amiably placed a fruit platter in front of Chen Feng, then asked, "Fengzi, how are your parents doing lately?" Chen Feng nodded, his tone humble and polite, "They’re fine. Before I came, my mom asked me to say hello to you, hoping you’d visit us to try her cooking. Ah, my mom’s steak is up to New York chef standards!" "Oh, really! Haha, I’ll definitely go another day, and I’ll bring Xiaoxiao along. Xiaoxiao loves to visit too!" "Who says I like it, hmpf, I won’t go!" Xiong Xiaoxiao turned her head and hummed quietly, dissatisfied. "Xiaoxiao, you’re almost an adult now, be mindful of your words!" Nanny Xiong glared at Xiong Xiaoxiao, slightly displeased. "Auntie, don’t blame Xiaoxiao. She’s still young! It’s understandable. When I was her age, I was rebellious too, way more than Xiaoxiao, not understanding anything. Once you become an adult, you’ll naturally understand the care your parents have, and who you should and shouldn’t get close to!" While speaking formally, Chen Feng secretly made a face at Lin Mu, implying that Lin Mu was clearly the kind of person one shouldn’t get close to. Standing aside, Lin Mu glanced at Chen Feng, internally cursing, "This guy’s acting pretty well, damn he knows how to put on a show. A smooth-talking dandy on the surface, but a sinister schemer behind the scenes—absolutely disgusting!" However, Lin Mu wasn’t too angry. It’s just an act, after all, as long as he plays his part well, he’s not concerned with the story’s outcome! Nanny Xiong was very pleased with Chen Feng’s behavior, she smiled, "Fengzi, you’re such an understanding child. When Xiaoxiao marries into your family, you must take care of her!"
