#297 - Chapter 297 Su Min's Visit

Cheng Feng was teasing Cheng Yun when a servant came to report: "Master, Master, there's a disheveled woman outside the gate who claims to know you. She also says she has a note written by you. What do you think?"

Cheng Feng pondered for a moment and knew it must be Su Min.

Cheng Feng pressed, "Is her brother with her?"

The servant replied truthfully, "I didn't see him, but I did hear a man's voice from the carriage."

"I understand. They are indeed the ones I invited. Send some maids and male servants to help them wash up. Once they're done, have the woman come to my study."

The servant acknowledged the order and left. Soon, the residence was bustling with activity, preparing everything for the unexpected guests. Cheng Feng took the first step and entered the study, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He gently stroked the Xuan paper on the desk, the ink fragrance still lingering. It was written by his own hand,

bearing a large character for 'Martial'.

Inside the study, sunlight streamed through the window, casting a serene glow. Cheng Feng sat behind his desk, holding a writing brush, but hesitated to lower it, his thoughts drifting far away.

Soon, light footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a maid's respectful announcement: "Master, Miss Su is ready and waiting outside."

"Let her in." Cheng Feng put down the brush, straightened his clothes, and tried to appear calm and dignified.

The door opened gently, and Su Min, dressed in plain clothes, entered the study. Her face was slightly haggard, but her eyes were still as bright as ever, sparkling with tenacity and resilience.

Su Min walked slowly forward, gave a bow, and said in a slightly hoarse but firm voice, "Master Cheng... are you well?"

Cheng Feng stood up and took a few steps forward, wanting to offer a hand, but stopped in mid-air and said slowly, "Miss Su, you've come from afar. There's no need to be so formal."

Su Min sat down as instructed. There seemed to be thousands of words between them, but they didn't know where to start. Finally, Cheng Feng broke the silence: "Your brother... how is he?"

Su Min smiled slightly, a hint of bitterness in her smile: "He's doing well, but he's been running around these past few days, seeking doctors for treatment, and has suffered a lot. It's really not easy to have your help, Master."

Hearing this, Cheng Feng felt a little relieved. He was really afraid that someone in the city could cure Su Qiang's shattered bone disease, and then the duck he had in his mouth would fly away: "It's not that bad, we've already discussed things beforehand."

Su Min shook her head gently, interrupting his modesty: "Master Cheng, let the past be the past. I'm here to confirm one thing.

Is the Black Jade Regenerating Balm you mentioned really able to cure my brother's shattered bone disease? I've seen many doctors, and they all say that my brother's end is near."

As she spoke, it seemed that she was reminded of the difficult days she had been through, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Cheng Feng looked at Su Min, whose temperament had changed greatly. A few sharp edges had been added to her originally delicate face, and the fragility between her eyebrows had dissipated a lot.

Cheng Feng tentatively asked, "The efficacy of the Black Jade Regenerating Balm has been proven. There's absolutely no problem. It's just, are you really prepared?"

Su Min nodded with unwavering eyes: "Since I'm here, I know what I should do."

Looking at Su Min's determined appearance, Cheng Feng frowned.

He thought to himself, which of the women around him wasn't gentle and docile?

Why was this Su Min so special, actually discussing her life's important matters with such a determined expression?

Deep down, Cheng Feng still had a lot of affection for women, but he wasn't a simp who would be unable to move when he saw a woman.

He said bluntly: "I have to make it clear to you first, I do have the Black Jade Regenerating Balm, but it's only enough for one person. Once it's used up, there's no way to find a second portion.

You don't need to worry about the efficacy, but what you need to do is become my woman. But you must not, after marrying into my family, choose to die once your brother Su Qiang's injuries are healed. I hope you can continue the Cheng family line for me!"

When Su Min heard "choose to die," there was a clear fluctuation in her expression. Cheng Feng immediately realized that this girl seemed to really have such thoughts.

Now that he knew this, he would definitely not let such a thing happen.

After all, since Cheng Feng started his career, he had never done a losing business.

Cheng Feng looked at Su Min with cold eyes and said in an icy voice: "To prevent you from doing anything that might endanger your own life, we need to sign an agreement.

If, after your brother's injuries are healed, you choose to commit suicide or take other extreme measures to end your life, then I have the right to make him relapse into a disabled state.

Of course, this agreement will also clearly stipulate that if I don't fulfill my promise, you also have the right to raise objections to me, and even kill me."

Su Min widened her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and she looked at Cheng Feng in disbelief.

This man was so cold and ruthless that he wanted to push her into a desperate situation, not even leaving her the hope of suicide!

Cheng Feng continued: "If you are willing to accept this agreement and marry me, I will do my best to protect your brother's safety and provide the best treatment resources. But, if you refuse, then you will bear the consequences."

Su Min's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She knew this was a difficult choice, but for her brother's safety, she seemed to have no other choice. She trembled her lips and asked, "Can... can I consider it?"

Cheng Feng frowned slightly and said firmly: "Time is tight, you must make a decision as soon as possible. Either sign the agreement and marry tomorrow; or leave here and never come back."

Su Min felt helpless and desperate, and she didn't know how to face such a dilemma. She knew that once she signed this agreement, her fate would be completely changed, but if she didn't sign, she was worried about her brother's life safety.

In the end, after a long period of consideration, Su Min bit her lip and nodded, indicating that she agreed to sign the agreement.

Cheng Feng showed a satisfied smile. He took out paper and pen and began to draft the terms of the agreement. Su Min sat silently aside, her heart full of pain and helplessness.

She felt like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to escape this cruel reality.

Soon, a contract was presented to the two of them. Cheng Feng carefully reviewed it, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the pen to Su Min. Su Min took the pen, her hand trembling slightly, but she still firmly wrote her name and pressed her handprint.

"Good, from now on, you will be a member of my Cheng family." Cheng Feng put away the contract, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible tenderness, "I will order people to prepare the wedding, you just wait patiently."

Su Min nodded. Although her heart was still full of unease and doubts, she knew that this was her only choice at the moment.

She looked at Cheng Feng, trying to find a trace of comfort in his eyes, but found that his eyes were as deep as the sea and difficult to fathom.
