"Heh heh~!! Why would I want you to pay me back? I brought you out to play, so of course I'm the one paying," Su Lin chuckled.
Hmph! You say you brought me out to play, but you just want to see me embarrassed.
"No, I really don't mean that," Su Lin quickly said.
Lin Xiaowan stared into Su Lin's eyes, but Su Lin remained unfazed.
He couldn't let Lin Xiaowan see that he did want to see her embarrassed, and incidentally, deepen their relationship.
If she saw through him, Lin Xiaowan would definitely find a way to get back at him.
"Hmph, I don't believe you."

Seeing that Lin Xiaowan was still a little upset, Su Lin couldn't help but pat her head again. "Alright, alright, don't be angry. How about this, I'll treat you to a big meal at noon. I heard there's a barbecue place here that grills pork belly especially well. It's crispy and crunchy, and not greasy at all." Prepared
Lin Xiaowan hadn't eaten breakfast, and Su Lin's words successfully tickled her appetite. Used
"Barbecue? Where?" Group
"Here~ Xiao Wan, we have to agree on this. After we eat this barbecue, you can't be upset with me anymore," Su Lin said in a tone that was half coaxing, half commanding, leaving Lin Xiaowan unable to resist. 8
She puffed her nose. "What kind of person do you think I am? Am I that petty?" 9
Su Lin chuckled. He knew that if he didn't appease Lin Xiaowan today, he'd be facing all sorts of exploitation from her later. 3
"Heh heh, I knew our Xiao Wan was beautiful, generous, and open-minded." 9
"Okay, okay, stop with the flattery. I'm hungry." 6
"Alright, let's go now." 4
Su Lin led Lin Xiaowan out of the amusement park. He hadn't driven, and after they turned a corner, they saw a barbecue restaurant. 4
It was just lunchtime, and the barbecue restaurant was quite busy, but neither Su Lin nor Lin Xiaowan looked at it. Instead, their attention was drawn to a milk tea cart nearby. 6
Wanwan Milk Tea~!! 0
A very tacky name.
"Su Lin, is this milk tea good? Wanwan Milk Tea? Is it from Taiwan?" Lin Xiaowan asked curiously.
"Milk tea is a flavored beverage that originated in Taiwan. The taste is alright, but this pearl milk tea is just average. I'll find a more authentic milk tea shop for you to try later," Su Lin said casually.
"Then let's go buy one and try it. We're a bit thirsty anyway."
"Okay~!!"
Lin Xiaowan pulled Su Lin across the road. She didn't realize that at some point, she no longer resisted holding Su Lin's hand, and sometimes would naturally take his hand.
The two arrived at the three-wheeled cart.
Lin Xiaowan saw a woman around forty years old and said softly, "Auntie, how much is this pearl milk tea?"
"Five yuan a cup, second cup half price," Liu Mei said without looking up.
"Oh! Then give me two cups."
Liu Mei called out, "Xiao Feng, two cups of pearl milk tea."
"Coming right up."
Ye Feng darted out from the side, holding two freshly packaged cups of milk tea.
Then the smile on his face froze. He saw Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan.
Instantly, Ye Feng's face turned cold. His mental age was over thirty, so even if he couldn't remain completely expressionless, he shouldn't have changed his demeanor on the spot. However, when facing Su Lin, he couldn't force a smile; he didn't even want to pretend.
Having been reborn, Ye Feng had long decided that he must live for himself and live happily.
"What bad luck, running into you everywhere," Ye Feng said indifferently.
The smile on Lin Xiaowan's face also froze.
She hadn't expected Ye Feng to confront Su Lin so directly, which made her very angry.
She said with a cold face, "Excuse me, Auntie, we don't need the milk tea anymore."
"Heh~! Lin Xiaowan, you're supposed to be a pampered young lady, yet you hang out with people like Su Lin every day," Ye Feng said sarcastically.
At this point, Liu Mei also noticed the problem. Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan clearly knew her son, and their relationship wasn't right.
Fortunately, the peak rush had passed, and there weren't many people gathered around. Otherwise, the argument between Ye Feng and Lin Xiaowan would definitely have affected business.
Lin Xiaowan chuckled, "People like Su Lin? Even if Su Lin has a thousand faults and ten thousand wrongs, he's still a person with principles. You even scammed Xiao Yu out of the money meant to save her father's life, eighty thousand yuan! That's eighty thousand yuan! You just took it, didn't you? Don't you know Uncle Xia is still lying in the hospital?"
Seeing Lin Xiaowan drop such a bombshell, Su Lin was inwardly delighted. This time, he didn't even need to lift a finger; Lin Xiaowan had taken care of Ye Feng.
Seeing Liu Mei's ashen face, Su Lin knew that if Ye Feng didn't explain himself now, he'd be subjected to a double beating from his parents that night.
This was truly interesting.
No matter how powerful the protagonist is, he can't escape his parents' discipline. What a shame, I won't get to see it.
Su Lin remained silent, only gripping Lin Xiaowan's small hand a little tighter.
Lin Xiaowan patted his hand reassuringly and gave him a look that said, 'I've got this.'
Su Lin was amused by the situation and gave her an encouraging look.
"Eighty thousand, what eighty thousand? When did my Xiao Feng ever scam anyone? Can you explain yourself clearly, daughter?" Liu Mei chimed in, wanting to understand the reason behind it all.
Lin Xiaowan pointed at Su Lin and said, "Auntie, ask Ye Feng. He's the one who scammed the money. If you ask him, he'll definitely know what's going on."
Liu Mei looked at Ye Feng. "Xiao Feng, what's going on? Did you scam this eighty thousand yuan?"
"Mom~! I didn't scam it, I borrowed it, borrowed eighty thousand yuan."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaowan sneered. "Heh, borrowed eighty thousand? If Su Lin hadn't come to demand it and threatened to call the police, you wouldn't have planned to return it. And you still have the nerve to say you borrowed it."
"Oh, and Auntie, Ye Feng has already returned that eighty thousand yuan, but we don't know where the money came from. I hope Auntie will have a good chat with him."
After speaking, she looked at the milk tea in front of her. "We won't be drinking this milk tea today. If I ever hear you badmouthing Su Lin again, Ye Feng, I'm not done with you."
"Su Lin, let's go~!"
With that, Lin Xiaowan linked her arm with Su Lin's and walked towards the milk tea shop.
Su Lin gave Lin Xiaowan a thumbs-up. "Xiao Wan, you're amazing. You silenced Ye Feng in just a few sentences."
"I just can't stand seeing this scumbag do something wrong and then badmouth others. Su Lin, I'm not as open-minded as you. I have a small heart," Lin Xiaowan said seriously, looking at Su Lin.
Su Lin was touched. He understood Lin Xiaowan quite well. If it were about herself, she definitely wouldn't have made such a scene. It was only because it concerned him that she couldn't stand him being misunderstood, which led her to confront Ye Feng.
Su Lin sighed, "Xiao Wan, if you keep being like this, I'm going to like you more and more. What should I do?"
This was the first time Su Lin had openly confessed his feelings. Lin Xiaowan giggled. "Then do well in the final mock exam. If you win against that scumbag Ye Feng, I'll be your girlfriend~!!!"
"Okay~! I'll definitely get a high score then."
"Hee hee..."
Husband and Wife Tag Team [Seeking Flowers and Votes]
"Mom~! Don't listen to their nonsense, I... "
"Slap~!!" A fierce slap landed on Ye Feng's face.
Liu Mei looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears. "Xiao Feng, no one else is here now. Tell Mom, what did you do with that eighty thousand yuan?"
Ye Feng looked at Liu Mei's expression, finding it difficult to speak. But if he didn't say anything, today wouldn't pass. He stammered, "I... I invested it."
"Did the investment make money?"
"I l-lost it," Ye Feng choked out.
"You lost all eighty thousand?"
"There's a few thousand left."
"Oh~! You said you borrowed a few thousand when you were collecting medicinal herbs before. Is this the remaining amount after losing the eighty thousand?" Liu Mei narrowed her eyes.
Ye Feng nodded. He could argue with anyone else, but in front of Liu Mei, he couldn't get the words out.
"What kind of investment did you make to lose so much?"
"I... I was hoarding game equipment," Ye Feng mumbled.
"Games? You took eighty thousand yuan to buy game equipment? You... you you..."
"Slap~!" Another slap landed on Ye Feng's face.
"We'll talk about this at home with your dad. Pack up and go home now." Liu Mei was so angry she almost fainted. Ye Feng didn't dare to disobey her, otherwise, who knew if his past life's illness might be triggered early.
Ye Feng wanted his parents to live a few more years.
"Su Lin... Ye Feng's mom slapped him." Lin Xiaowan pulled Su Lin and looked at Ye Feng through the glass.
Su Lin nodded. "Xiao Wan, I saw."
"Ye Feng's usual arrogant demeanor is gone. It's truly satisfying. It's a shame Xiao Yu isn't here, she would have been very happy," Lin Xiaowan said with a smile.
Su Lin nodded. "Xiao Yu is still at the hospital taking care of her dad. Xiao Wan, I didn't expect you to have such a mischievous side. Ye Feng is going to be in big trouble when he gets home this time."
Lin Xiaowan said righteously, "I'm doing this for Ye Feng's own good. He's only eighteen and already capable of scamming eighty thousand yuan. Imagine if he goes to college or enters society later, he'll scam even more. Now that this is reported to his mom, his mom will definitely educate him. That way, Ye Feng will surely learn his lesson in the future, isn't that a good thing?"
"Mmm~! That makes sense."
