Chapter 35: Let Bygones Be Bygones

  Xu Wei suddenly realized she was a bit out of place, and awkwardly wiped the corner of her eye. "Director Su, Lin Fei is the younger brother of my neighbor's family, whom I've known since childhood. We played together for many years and have a good relationship... It's just that when I was 10 years old, he got lost, and I thought I would never see him again in this lifetime."

  Su Yingxue slightly doubted it, so Lin Fei got lost at the age of eight? However, Lin Fei claimed that he was adopted by a foreign couple.

  Xu Wei definitely wouldn't deceive herself, so what Lin Fei said may not necessarily be true.

  But she didn't have the energy to think about it for now, seeing Lin Fei and Xu Wei looking like they had a lot to say. She didn't want to linger and ask Lin Fei questions, so she just said: "You two chat, Lin Fei don't run around again, go back to the office later."

  Lin Fei readily agreed, but he was busy catching up with Xu Wei.

  When she saw Lin Fei's excited expression facing Xu Wei, Su Yingxue didn't know why her heart felt a little uncomfortable.

  As soon as Su Yingxue left, Xu Wei immediately pulled Lin Fei to a small conference room where no one was around and started talking about what happened back then.

  Xu Wei naturally had to ask Lin Fei where he went, what he experienced, and how he became Su Yingxue's bodyguard after returning.

  Lin Fei couldn't possibly tell the truth, so he made up some stuff about his life abroad and said he had practiced some martial arts. It just so happened that Su Yingxue took a liking to him and came to be his bodyguard.

  Lin Fei also learned from Xu Wei that she and Su Yingxue were still privately good sisters, which made Lin Fei wonder if someone with Su Yingxue's personality could have a close friend.

  "Lin Fei, you're Xiao Xue's bodyguard, don't be too relaxed. Her personality can sometimes provoke enemies, so you need to be on guard at all times. Moreover, the people who want to make a move on her recently are not ordinary characters. I heard that the Ma family has local underground forces backing them up, so you need to be extra careful." Xu Wei reminded him.

  Lin Fei smiled and said, "Little Wei sister, we're all grown-ups now, why are you still like when we were kids, lecturing me like an elder?"

  "I'm your sister after all, you have to listen to me. You've forgotten how many times you were spanked by Uncle Da You for not listening to me when we were young?" Xǔ Wēi scolded with a smile.

  Lin Fei's heart felt a pang of bitterness upon hearing the three words "Big Friend Uncle", and the smile on his face also stiffened.

  Lin Dafu, that was his father who ran a noodle shop to make a living, the man who would chase him on the street with an iron ladle whenever he was being mischievous.

  Xu Wei thought of Lin Fei's father, who was no longer around, and the incident that had occurred back then. She let out a soft sigh, "So many years have passed, you shouldn't always hold on to it. Perhaps if your mother..."

  "Never mind!!"

  Lin Fei suddenly raised his head, his eyes like a fierce beast that chooses its prey, ferocious and sinister. In a low, hoarse voice, he said: "Don't mention that despicable person in front of me..."

  Xu Wei felt her heart skip a beat, startled by Lin Fei's sudden fury, and it took her a while to come back to herself.

  Lin Fei found himself unable to control his emotions, and a surge of energy inside him was somewhat chaotic. He forcibly suppressed it, making his slightly congested eyes look less ferocious.

  "Sorry...... Xiaowei sister, I wasn't targeting you...... I didn't do it on purpose......" The man seemed to be suddenly physically and mentally exhausted, saying weakly.

  Xu Wei's eyes were slightly red, and the man's raging anger only showed how much pain was in his heart.

  It's probably unbearable for anyone to bear the kind of pain and suffering he experienced back then, and he was only an eight-year-old boy at that time. As time goes by, this wound will only become more and more heart-wrenching and bone-piercing.

  She involuntarily got up and walked to Lin Fei's side, bent down and gently hugged Lin Fei.

  For over twenty years, he was the only man she was willing to hug without any reserve.

  "Sister knows, it's not your fault... It's sister who is wrong, shouldn't have brought up that matter..."

  A woman's gentleness is like fine silk, smooth and lustrous, with a subtle fragrance.

  Lin Fei felt his heart soften a bit, one hand wrapped around Xu Wei's slender waist, exerting a slight force, letting Xu Wei sit on his thigh.

  Xu Wei's figure is a southern woman's just right proportion, delicate and not short, plump and not fat.

  That soft buttocks sat on Lin Fei's thigh, feeling incredibly comfortable, like two pieces of elastic sponge with just the right degree of flexibility.

  Xu Wei turned her head and saw Lin Fei looking at her with a gaze that was both melancholic and gentle, filled with longing.

  Xu Wei's face involuntarily flushed, and she suddenly realized that the Lin Fei in front of her was no longer the little kid who wore open-crotch pants when they first met, but a man exuding masculinity from head to toe.

  His hands were so thick and hot, his breath carried the scent of tobacco, carrying the flavor that ripened her soul.

  "Do you still remember, I rode a small bicycle with you, taking the wind and saying that I would grow up to marry you as my wife?" Lin Fei's hand was somewhat improperly placed on the woman's thigh.

  Xu Wei's blushing face was like a tender peach that seemed to be dripping with juice, and she gave him a resentful glance, "Childish words are not to be taken seriously".

  Lin Fei looked disbelieving, suddenly bowed his head and bumped his forehead against Xu Wei's.

  "Xiao Wei", Lin Fei naturally ignored the word "sister", and smiled brightly, "Being able to see you again... is really great."

  Childhood friends, two young innocents, the purest and most precious years, flashed one by one in their minds.

  Xu Wei was also moved to tears, smiling faintly, everything was self-evident.

  The two of them sat together like this, one embracing and the other sitting, chatting for nearly an hour, as if the fifteen years had never made their relationship distant, but instead because of the inner bond they had always had, it became even more intimate.

  After chatting for a while, Xu Wei suddenly remembered that there were still documents that needed to be processed, and she quickly got up and rushed back to the office.

  "Little Wei, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Anyway, you and General Su are good sisters, I'll just mention it to her and she shouldn't refuse." Lin Fei is now flush with cash, having just received a check for one million dollars.

  Xu Wei hesitated a little, "Is this suitable? Shouldn't we consider Director Su's schedule first?"

  "I'll go ask then," Lin Fei thought to himself that Su Yingxue probably wouldn't have any plans, and the woman probably wouldn't like attending social gatherings either, so she would likely just head home for dinner tonight.

  "No rush, one day when you're free, come to my place and sit for a while. My mom knows you're back, she must be eager to see you too," said Xǔ Wēi with a wink.

  Lin Fei nodded repeatedly and took a closer look at Xu Wei's current appearance, which indeed resembled her mother Xu Yun's looks back in the day. She really was carved from the same mold.

  Back in the CEO's office building, Lin Fei went to Su Yingxue's office and knocked on the door. A cold female voice came from inside, "Come in."

  Lin Fei walked in and Su Yingxue, who was working at her desk, looked up at him and asked, "Is there something?"

  For some reason, Lin Fei felt that the woman seemed to be in a bad mood, but he was too lazy to care and smiled: "Director Su, how about I invite you to dinner tonight?"

  Su Yingxue's eyes were cold, with a hint of displeasure. "Do you think I'm an idiot? Are you trying to reconnect with Xu Wei, inviting her to dinner and bringing me along?"

  "Of course not, how can this be called taking advantage of the opportunity? After all, the money is still taken from your father." Lin Fei laughed.

  Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, then said: "You can invite Xu Wei to dinner if you want, but you must answer me, what did you do in the past and why can you speak so many foreign languages? Don't think about fooling me, otherwise, you won't have time to take Xu Wei out to eat."
