379: Let everything take its natural course.

Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuanhua sat in the study, chatting over tea.

“Zifeng, I was able to smoothly take another step forward this time thanks to the Li and Yang families; I also benefited from your connections.

Tell me properly about your history with these two families!”

Chen Yuanhua was the first to bring up the topic, something he had always wanted to understand.

Lin Zifeng nodded and gave Chen Yuanhua a detailed account, starting from saving someone on the Expressway two years ago, to meeting Li Yanran and the others again in the capital this time, and then to his interactions with the two families over the past three months.

Naturally, he didn't say a word about what shouldn't be said.

After listening to Lin Zifeng's account, Chen Yuanhua nodded and said, “Good deeds really do bring good rewards! This is definitely a massive opportunity for you, and even I have benefited from it.

You must maintain this relationship well in the future! It will definitely be of great help to your official career, and at critical moments in your promotion, it can certainly become your strongest support.”

“Dad, I know what to do. We are very good friends now. I don't want to deliberately curry favor, nor do I want to use my kindness to demand rewards. Let everything take its natural course!”

Hearing Lin Zifeng say this, Chen Yuanhua knew that Lin Zifeng had his own pride, so he didn't try to persuade him further. Instead, he spoke again: “Zifeng, regardless of the circumstances, I have received help from these two families.

If there's an opportunity in the future, I still need to repay them. I'll leave it to you to handle this!”

Hearing Chen Yuanhua's words, Lin Zifeng thought to himself that although the Li and Yang families were incredibly powerful and held important positions, Chen Yuanhua was now a provincial Governor and a powerful official at the departmental level, so he was already qualified to say such things.

Chen Yuanhua taking this stance meant that he was leaving the operation of this matter to Lin Zifeng.

In this way, when facing Li Chenghe and Yang Leshan, Lin Zifeng wouldn't just be unilaterally accepting their favors; he could also provide them with some assistance in the future.

He knew that Chen Yuanhua doing this was a disguised way of providing him with the chips to give back.

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng said from the bottom of his heart, “Thank you, Dad. I will handle the boundaries well.”

Hearing Lin Zifeng's words, Chen Yuanhua knew that Lin Zifeng understood his meaning. He couldn't help but think that his Son-in-law was truly sharp and got the point immediately! This level of perceptiveness was not something ordinary people could compare to.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Yuqing pushed open the study door and said with a smile, “Dad, Zifeng, I don't know how much you two have to talk about, but you've been in the study for over an hour. Aren't you coming out? Relax a bit at home and talk less about work!

Dinner is already on the table, let's go eat!”

Hearing Yuqing's words, Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuanhua stood up with smiles and followed Yuqing out of the study. Chen Yuanhua said with a laugh, “Zifeng, accompany me for a good drink in a bit. Today I'm going to make an exception and have an extra glass.”

“Alright, Dad, but you can only have one extra glass.”

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

Chen Yuanhua nodded. The family sat together around the dining table, and Yuqing brought two bottles of wine and placed them on the table.

Lin Zifeng picked up a bottle, opened it, poured a glass for Chen Yuanhua, and then poured one for himself. Only then did he look at Li Jing and ask, “Mom, would you like a glass?”

“I won't drink, Zifeng. I still have to drive Your Father back later!”

Li Jing waved her hand in refusal.

“Zifeng, pour a glass for me and Yuxi! Let's celebrate your return from your studies together.”

Yuqing took the initiative to speak.

Lin Zifeng agreed and poured a glass for each of the two women. Just like that, the family began to enjoy dinner happily.

The two women only had one glass each, while the remaining White Liquor was shared between Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuanhua.

Chen Yuanhua set down his glass and spoke again: “Zifeng, you're heading back to Yushu City with Yuxi tomorrow. Your mother and I won't come over to see you off.

Every time your mother sees Yining leave, she feels sad for several days. If she doesn't see you leave, she'll feel a bit better.”

“My mom really has that grandparental affection! Luckily Haotian is still by your side. I can understand.

We're all one family; you and Mom don't need to come see us off.”

Lin Zifeng said with great understanding.

To give them more time together, Li Jing pulled Chen Yuanhua away after dinner.

The two sisters tidied up and then took the two children to bathe separately.

Lin Zifeng sat in the Living Room drinking tea for a while. Once the two women had finished bathing the children, he got up to take a shower himself.

As he passed by Yuxi, she whispered, “Hubby, it's not convenient for me today, I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'll head to bed first.”

Lin Zifeng knew that the reason Yuxi said this was because they were leaving tomorrow; she was deliberately creating time for him and Yuqing. Saying she felt unwell was just an excuse.

Lin Zifeng only gave a soft 'mm' and walked into the bathroom.

When Lin Zifeng finished his shower and walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas, the Living Room was quiet. The two children were already asleep, and The two sisters had each returned to their rooms.

Lin Zifeng came to the door of Yuqing's room and saw that the door was cracked open. The corners of his mouth curled up into a handsome smile, and he pushed the door open and walked in.

Closing the door, he looked back and saw the slender silhouette on the large bed in the darkness. He took a few steps to the bed, lay down beside Yuqing, and hugged her waist from behind.

Seeing that Yuqing didn't have any reaction, as if she were really asleep, Lin Zifeng knew she was faking it. So he leaned into her ear and whispered, “It seems my Yuqing isn't in the mood tonight? Then I'll just have to go back to my own room.”

After saying this, Lin Zifeng pretended to get up and leave.

Yuqing finally couldn't keep up the act anymore. Fearing Lin Zifeng would actually leave, she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She said coquettishly in his ear, “You big baddie, you're teasing me on purpose, aren't you? You and Yuxi are going back to Yushu City tomorrow. Aren't you going to hurry up and fulfill your duties as a man tonight?

If you don't tend to your own field properly, aren't you afraid someone else will plow it for you!”

“You dare!” Lin Zifeng deliberately said these two words fiercely.

The next morning, early birds chirped outside the window, signaling the arrival of a new day. Lin Zifeng got up as soon as it was light. He went downstairs to a secluded spot outside the Residential Community and practiced a set of Eight Extremities Fist. Only when he was slightly sweating did he turn and walk back into the community.

By the time Lin Zifeng returned home, The two sisters had already prepared breakfast. Lin Zifeng did a quick wash and sat down at the dining table with a face full of smiles.
