#290 - Chapter 290 New Year 2

Cheng Feng could feel the warmth and expectation in Jiang Feifei's eyes, a kind of emotional exchange that didn't need words.

He tried to respond to this emotion with a smile, but found that the corners of his mouth had already slightly turned upward unintentionally.

The women at home more or less had some external factors involved, but Jiang Feifei was a flower that Cheng Feng had slowly nurtured during his medical studies.

As the end of the year approached, he still had many important things to deal with, including the planning of the Cheng manor, the development of the Hongmen, and his personal cultivation, and so on. These all required him to invest a lot of time and energy to deal with.

Now was not the time to be in a relationship. He could only pretend not to see Jiang Feifei's gaze, thanked her, and walked straight into the inner courtyard.

Jiang Feifei, expressionless, silently chided, "Silly."

But she also followed him in. Cheng Feng could only let her do as she pleased.

After chatting briefly with Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Feifei, he directly took his leave.

Looking at her granddaughter's gaze towards Cheng Feng, how could Grandpa Jiang not know that his granddaughter's heart was already on the man who had just left?

However, according to Grandpa Jiang's own inquiries, Cheng Feng already had more than a dozen concubines at home, which was not at all compatible with a good match.

But his granddaughter was also a person with her own ideas, and she might not listen to what he said!

Ignoring the thoughts of the Jiang family, Cheng Feng took his servants to the Lin family.

The Lin family was one of the prominent families in Qingxi County, and had a deep connection with Cheng Feng.

First, he saved Lin Wan'er, and then Lin Wan'er came forward to sell the current house to him.

Later, the medicinal materials needed for the dragon bone secret medicine also had to be obtained through the Lin family's caravan.

There were quite a few things going back and forth. Facing Lin Wan'er, Cheng Feng also felt a trace of restlessness in his heart.

Who wouldn't like Lin Wan'er, who was clever and intelligent?

Cheng Feng had already visited Jiang Feifei. After visiting the Lin residence this time, the visits before the New Year could be considered over.

The development of the Hongmen also needed allies. Fighting alone was not a good strategy for the long term.

The martial arts hall could be considered a strong helper, and the medical hall could be considered a part of treating illnesses and saving people. Cheng Feng also wanted to turn Yonghe Hall into the Hongmen's medicine hall.

The Lin family's relationship represented a channel for some goods. The price of grain had risen a lot this year.

Because of the needs of Hong Village, Lin Wan'er directly sold about three thousand taels of grain to the Hongmen at the original price, which was a considerable loss. Cheng Feng naturally could not take this matter lightly.

Therefore, Cheng Feng specially prepared a generous return gift—two jars of wine soaked in the bones of a red-scaled snake. Before, when chatting privately with Lin Wan'er, she said that she had also started practicing martial arts.

This medicinal wine was definitely heavy enough. As a martial artist, who didn't need medicinal materials to nourish themselves? The better the nourishment, the faster the improvement.

In front of the Lin family's mansion, Cheng Feng personally handed the gift to Lin Xiong, the head of the Lin family, and expressed his deep gratitude to the Lin family.

Lin Xiong naturally accepted the gift with a smile, and invited Cheng Feng inside to share family matters. The two families looked forward to the new year together in laughter.

Lin Wan'er was also there to accompany him. Looking at Cheng Feng, who was eloquent and had an extraordinary aura,

Lin Wan'er's mind recalled the young Cheng Feng who had saved her on the road before.

The appearances of the two overlapped at this moment, and Lin Wan'er's heart was pounding like a deer.

Facing Lin Wan'er's affectionate gaze, Cheng Feng was naturally touched in his heart.

Being able to see Lin Wan'er's eyes filled with spring water for him made Cheng Feng feel proud of himself.

At least Lin Wan'er didn't have no affection for him at all.

If that was the case, it would be easier to talk about some things in the future.

In the warm atmosphere of the Lin family's mansion, Cheng Feng's communication with the Lin family seemed particularly harmonious.

Every visit and cooperation was a deepening of the relationship between the two parties, and also a preparation for future common development.

And Lin Wan'er's company added a special color to this exchange.

His relationship with Lin Wan'er was not just a simple cooperative relationship, but also a deep emotional bond.

This emotion was both admiration and love for each other, and also an expectation and longing for a common life in the future.

That's right, Cheng Feng was indeed moved, for various reasons.

Due to Lin Xiong's presence, Cheng Feng could only say some polite words and drink with Lin Xiong.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Feng naturally took his leave.

Lin Xiong pretended to be drunk and unable to let Lin Wan'er come out to see Cheng Feng off. Everyone with discerning eyes knew what that meant.

The Lin family's direct daughter took the initiative to send a young man out. Was this really something that friendship could accomplish?

The Lin mansion's servants had learned their lesson from before and kept their eyes straight ahead.

"Brother Cheng, your growth is really impressive." Lin Wan'er's voice was soft and pleasant, interrupting Cheng Feng's thoughts. She looked at Cheng Feng with a smile, her eyes shining with gentle light.

"Sister Wan'er, your support and help are the most important to me. Without your help, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to achieve such achievements in such a short period of time." Cheng Feng said sincerely, his tone full of gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly. Her feelings for Cheng Feng had become deeper and deeper, and everyone around her could see it clearly.

Was Brother Cheng pretending to be confused?

Cheng Feng seemed to see through her thoughts, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Sister Wan'er, I have been busy with affairs recently and haven't had time to find you, it's my fault, but after the New Year, I will be free. Will Sister Wan'er have time to drink with me then?"

Lin Wan'er felt the warmth of Cheng Feng's palm, her face flushed red, she quickly pulled her hand out, and stammered: "Brother Cheng, you are drunk, but don't worry, I have time at any time."

Looking at Lin Wan'er's bullyable appearance, the little devil in Cheng Feng's heart was eager to move, but he also knew that now was not a good time. Regretting the good opportunity in his heart, he said righteously: 'Wan'er, then you have to practice hard at home, otherwise, Uncle may not let you come out and play with me later.'

Lin Wan'er firmly said: "No, I will definitely have time then."

Cheng Feng naturally responded with a smile, and also left a message that the medicinal wine had an excellent effect, and told Lin Wan'er to be careful when drinking it.

After saying goodbye to each other, Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief. This trip to the New Year was finally over.

For Cheng Feng, whether it was Jiang Feifei's warm expectation or Lin Wan'er's affectionate gaze, they would all become the motivation and support for him to move forward.

There were emotional factors and also interest factors. The adult world has long been devoid of simplicity.

Fortunately, Cheng Feng himself was a beneficiary and considered himself innocent.

Smiling, he just wanted to go home quickly and work hard to cultivate.

Reaching the Bone Refinement completion as soon as possible, and then obtaining the Thunderclap Saber Art from his master.

Then break through the Viscera Refinement, in this way, Cheng Feng can feel more at ease.

The feeling of being weak and fearful,

Once is enough.
