“Alright!” Baozi and the others cheered.
“What if we run into that woman?” Qin Laohu suddenly asked. “We can take back the black market, but what about that woman? We can’t beat her…”
“…” The moment Baozi and the others recalled the scene of their teeth being forcibly knocked out, their gums ached. Their initial morale vanished instantly.
“Big Brother, Wang Hu must have traded for benefits too. Let’s give her a large share, she won’t be able to resist!” Lao Qi suggested.
“Exactly!”
“Treat her like Brother Long. If we follow her, she definitely won’t refuse!”
“Brother Hu, what do you think?”
The underlings all thought this was a good idea. Qin Laohu nodded, but then added, “What if she doesn’t agree?”
“…Then we’ll just come back then,” Lao Qi said softly, glancing at everyone.
Everyone looked at Qin Laohu. Qin Laohu gritted his teeth. “Damn it! Let’s take back the black market first!”
“Good!” The underlings cheered again.
Xiao Liuzi and Liu Fang came to find Fu Wenwen and relayed Lin Feng’s request. Fu Wenwen looked at them, amused by Lin Feng’s actions.
“He went to find Wang Hu and asked you to come catch us?” Fu Wenwen asked with a smile.
Xiao Liuzi and Liu Fang immediately nodded. “Not a bit of it. He even gave ten dollars, but Brother Hu didn’t accept it.”
“Then you should listen to him!” Fu Wenwen smiled. “When it’s time for dinner, come over and eat.”
“Okay.” Seeing that Fu Wenwen agreed, Xiao Liuzi and Liu Fang stayed.
When Lin Feng returned home, he saw Xiao Liuzi and Liu Fang in the alley by his doorstep. He nodded at them before entering the house.
Xiao Liuzi and Liu Fang exchanged a look, their lips curling.
This pair, the female hero and Lin Feng, were truly interesting.
They hadn’t expected the female hero to be so ‘weak’ in front of her man.
As soon as Lin Feng entered, he saw a table full of dishes. Seeing that Lin An and Fu Wenwen were fine, Lin Feng smiled lightly. “I’m back.”
“You’re back?” Fu Wenwen looked at Lin Feng with a complex expression, then found it amusing. “Lin An, Daddy’s back. Stop playing with the dirt and hurry and wash your hands with Daddy. It’s time to eat!”
“Okay, Mom.” Lin An was digging in the yard, his hands covered in yellow mud. He obediently walked over. Lin Feng quickly picked him up to wash his hands.
Lin Feng and Lin An washed their hands and came to sit at the table. Fu Wenwen told them to eat first, then she took two bowls of rice, filled with dishes, and walked out of the house.
Lin Feng was stunned and looked at Fu Wenwen, confused. “Where are you going?”
“We’ll talk about this topic after dinner!” Fu Wenwen looked at Lin Feng with an undeniable depth in her eyes. Lin Feng instantly felt a chill down his spine.
Watching Fu Wenwen walk out with the bowls, Lin An looked back at Lin Feng.
“Dad, did you do something bad and make Mom angry?” Lin An asked Lin Feng in a low voice.
“Probably… not?” Lin Feng wasn’t sure. He had just stolen a few more kisses at noon, it shouldn’t make her angry, should it? Wasn’t she quite happy?
“Dad, you’re doomed,” Lin An said with certainty, shoveling rice into his mouth and looking at Lin Feng with wide eyes.
“…You little brat, why are you so happy that your mom is angry with me?” Lin Feng gritted his teeth.
“Dad, you’re so capable, you shouldn’t bully Mom! Hit Mom a couple of times, and she won’t be angry anymore,” Lin An said seriously.
“…When were you ever disciplined and had your bottom spanked by Mom?” Lin Feng retorted with a raised eyebrow.
“I’m so good, Mom would never spank my bottom!” Lin An lifted his chin proudly. “I’m Mom’s most precious son!”
“You were just playing with mud, and Mom didn’t say anything?” Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. Lin An’s hands, covered in yellow mud, were no less dirty than his own when he was doing field training in the wilderness back in the camp.
“Mom said I can play if I want to, but I can’t touch my face with dirty hands or put them in my mouth. I have to wash my hands after playing!” Lin An puffed out his chest. “I’ve played several times, and Mom hasn’t scolded me, she even praised me for pinching well!”
“…” Lin Feng looked at Lin An and felt a strange pang in his heart.
She was truly good to Lin An.
“Dad, you don’t want to play with the yellow mud, do you? You’re already so old, do you still want to play in the mud…” Lin An frowned at Lin Feng’s wistful face, thinking he also wanted to play with mud, and said disapprovingly. “Alas…”
“…I don’t want to play with mud!” Lin Feng glared at Lin An. “I thought Mom would scold you. Look at you, you’ve made yourself so dirty.”
“Don’t lie to me. The way you looked just now was exactly like Brother Shitou wanting to snatch my toy,” Lin An didn’t believe Lin Feng. He stood up from his stool and served himself his favorite dishes.
“…I didn’t.” Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling a bit frantic.
“Okay, okay, you didn’t.” Lin An glanced at Lin Feng. “Dad, hurry up and eat! Mom will be back soon, and you said you’d talk about it, why aren’t you moving your chopsticks yet…”
After Fu Wenwen delivered the food to Xiao Liuzi and Liu Fang, she returned and saw Lin Feng looking deflated. She asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Who upset you? Why aren’t you eating? The dishes will get cold.”
Lin An glanced at Lin Feng.
—See!
Lin Feng’s heart clenched, and he took two deep breaths. “It’s nothing, I’m waiting for you to eat together! Unlike some little kid, who eats by himself and doesn’t wait for Mom to eat with him.”
After speaking, Lin Feng looked triumphantly at Lin An. Lin An was stunned after hearing Lin Feng’s words.
“Mom, I was wrong.” Lin An’s eyes welled up, and he put down his chopsticks with a repentant look. “I’ll definitely wait for Mom to eat with me next time.”
“Don’t listen to your Dad’s nonsense. Mom just wanted you to eat while it’s hot, it’s not Lin An’s fault.” Fu Wenwen glared at Lin Feng. Why would he say something like that to the child for no reason? “Eat quickly, the food will get cold soon.”
“Mm, I’ll wait for Mom to eat with me!” Lin An handed Fu Wenwen her chopsticks. Fu Wenwen smiled, took them, ruffled Lin An’s hair, and wiped away his tears. “Such a good son.”
After saying that, she glared at Lin Feng.
“…” Lin Feng felt unbalanced.
Discrimination!
“Eat quickly.” Fu Wenwen shot Lin Feng a glance, then served him his favorite dish. Lin Feng looked at the food in his bowl and immediately regained his energy, smiling at Fu Wenwen.
He then shot a triumphant glance at Lin An.
“…Dad, is there rice on my face?” Lin An asked confusedly.
Fu Wenwen looked at Lin Feng with amusement. “Are you a three-year-old child?”
“Ahem! Eat! The food is getting cold,” Lin Feng coughed awkwardly, looking earnestly at Fu Wenwen, and whispered, “I’m your man!”
Fu Wenwen gave him a coy glare. “I’m still testing you!”
“…” Lin Feng felt that the food in his hands was no longer appetizing.
