Misunderstanding

In the women's dormitory, Li Xiaona sat in a daze. When is Brother Feng coming back? He's been gone for so many days. I wonder if he's thought of me. By my reckoning, he should be back by now.

Shi Nan rushed into the dormitory like a whirlwind. Seeing Li Xiaona so lovestruck, she didn't know how to tell him what she had just seen.

After collecting herself, Shi Nan decided to tell her anyway.

"Xiaona, I just saw Senior Ye Feng on campus."

"What! Brother Feng is back? Where is he?" Li Xiaona exclaimed, his face bright with delight. He was about to rush out when Shi Nan grabbed him.

"Xiaona, listen to me. I just saw Senior Ye Feng at the supermarket entrance, holding a bouquet of roses and standing with a girl. Don't get worked up. Maybe I saw it wrong. Xiaona, wait for me!"

Li Xiaona raced to the supermarket entrance. When he saw Ye Feng and the girl sitting there, he could no longer hold it in and burst into tears.

Ye Lin looked at Li Xiaona in confusion and said to Ye Feng, "Brother, that girl is so strange. She's looking over at us and crying."

Ye Feng turned around and, seeing that it was Li Xiaona, immediately ran over. Just as he was about to reach him, Shi Nan blocked his path.

"Senior Ye Feng, I never thought you'd be a scumbag too! Xiaona likes you so much, but you're still two-timing him. How could you do this to Xiaona? What good does it do to come running over here and put on an act now? Go keep your little girlfriend company! Xiaona, let's go! He's not worth your tears!"

Ye Feng's head felt twice its size. He hurriedly stopped Li Xiaona, but just as he was about to explain, Ye Lin ran over and said, "Brother, this is my sister-in-law, right?"

"Brother?" Li Xiaona froze and looked at Ye Feng. Before he could speak, however, Shi Nan said, "Little girl, that's such a cheap excuse. You got caught, so now you're saying you're brother and sister? Then how do you explain the roses? You say he's your brother, so how are you going to prove it?"

Ye Lin might usually be a bit of an airhead, but now she was exceptionally sharp. Pointing at the roses on the table, she said, "My brother bought those roses for my sister-in-law. As for proving we're siblings, that's even simpler. Brother, give me your ID card."

She took her own ID card out of her bag and handed it to Li Xiaona along with Ye Feng's.

"Sister-in-law, take a look. Aren't the addresses on the ID cards the same? We're full siblings, with the same father and mother."

Ye Feng secretly gave Ye Lin a thumbs-up. If he had to explain it himself, it would have been a struggle.

Li Xiaona looked at the siblings awkwardly. She knew she had misunderstood. Shi Nan, standing beside her, also realized she had given a false military report. After saying sorry, she fled in panic.

"Sister-in-law, come on, let's sit over there. Don't just stand here."

The three sat down, and Ye Feng picked up the roses and placed them in front of Li Xiaona.

"Xiaona, these roses are for you. I don't know if you'll like them."

Li Xiaona accepted the roses, his face full of happiness. Then he said quietly, "Brother Feng, Linlin, I'm sorry. I misunderstood just now."

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. Don't take it to heart. Are you free this afternoon? Let's go shopping and make big brother pay, hehe."

The atmosphere among the three gradually grew more relaxed. When Li Xiaona learned that Ye Lin would soon be attending Demon City University too, he was even happier. In the future, he could learn more about Brother Feng from her and get along well with his future sister-in-law.

Seeing how happily they were chatting, Ye Feng reserved a table at Phoenix Cry Pavilion for the evening on his phone. Just as he finished making the reservation, Shen Haoran called.

"Brother Ye, you've invested so much money in my Shen Family, yet you haven't even asked how things are going?"

"Brother Shen, isn't that because I trust you? Besides, it wasn't that much money. What made you think of calling me today?"

"I've got Cloud Villa ready, so you can move in whenever you like. Also, the Qin Family, Demon City's number one family, is holding a charity dinner tomorrow night. I wonder if you're interested, brother?"

Ye Feng wasn't particularly interested in the dinner. It would be nothing more than businesspeople blowing smoke up each other's asses, but he was interested in spending money.

"Brother Shen, I'll definitely attend tomorrow night."

"Good. I'll send you the address in a bit. See you tomorrow night, then."

Not long after they hung up, Shen Haoran sent him an address: the Demon City Pearl Hotel.

"Brother, are you going to a dinner tomorrow night? Can you take me and Sister Xiaona along? I've never been to a banquet before. Please?"

"Sure, we'll go together tomorrow night."

When Ye Feng agreed, Ye Lin jumped up with joy and pulled Li Xiaona along to go buy formalwear.

Ye Feng drove the two women to Wanda Plaza, and the three headed straight for the luxury goods section. They went to the Armani store first, intending to pick out a suit for Ye Feng.

The saleswoman immediately greeted Ye Feng warmly. She had seen his lavish spending last time.

"Mr. Ye, welcome to Armani. What can I help you with this time? I'll be delighted to serve you."

Ye Feng glanced at the somewhat familiar saleswoman, but before he could speak, Ye Lin spoke up first. "Take us to see the suits."

The saleswoman led the three to the suit section and pointed to a black suit as she introduced it.

"Mr. Ye, this latest suit was personally designed and handmade by Feilanduo Armani, one of Italy's top designers. It uses the finest materials. Not only is it very comfortable to wear, but it also brings out the best proportions of the wearer's figure. It's especially suited to a very tall man like you, Mr. Ye."

"Brother, hurry up and try it on. I've never seen you in a suit before."

Ye Feng took the suit the saleswoman handed him and went to the fitting room.

After changing, he walked out of the fitting room. Seeing Li Xiaona and Ye Lin staring blankly, he said, "What are you two spacing out for? Take a look. How does it look?"

"Brother, I've only just realized how handsome you look in a suit! Ahhh! You've practically blinded my dog eyes. How does that saying go again?"

"On the path, a man like jade; beneath the heavens, a young master without equal," Li Xiaona said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, that's the one."

Ye Feng looked at Ye Lin and said seriously, "That's right, they really are dog eyes. A single dog's."

Li Xiaona, standing beside them, burst out laughing.

Ye Lin looked at Ye Feng with a disgruntled expression.

"Sister Xiaona, aren't you going to rein in your Xiao Fengzi? How can he talk to his own sister like that?"

"All right, you two should pick out a couple of dresses too," Ye Feng said, hastily changing the subject.

In the end, Ye Lin chose a backless dress, making Ye Feng's eyelids twitch. If their mother found out, wouldn't she come all the way from Jin City to Demon City to teach her a lesson?

Li Xiaona, meanwhile, chose a very conservative dress, but it matched Ye Feng's suit perfectly.

Ye Feng then had the saleswoman find each of them a matching clutch. After picking out a few pieces of jewelry, he paid and left with them.

"Brother, how did you and Sister Xiaona meet?"

Ye Feng gave Ye Lin a mysterious look and said, "You want to know? I'll take you somewhere in a bit, and then you'll know."
