Finally, after exhausting all his efforts, Thomas managed to coax Alice, and Ling Feng promised to always be her big brother. Only then did Alice break into a smile.
In Alice's heart, there wasn't much difference between a bride and a sister. As long as Ling Feng continued to pamper and protect her in the future, she would be happy!
"Thank you so much for helping with Alice!" As they were about to leave, Thomas sincerely said once again, "Ling Feng, you will forever be my friend."
Ling Feng smiled lightly and replied, "Of course. By the way, make sure to thoroughly investigate who went after Alice once you're back."
Thomas nodded, "No need to say; I already know. It must be one of my competitors. We're leaving now. Next time you're in Europe, don't forget to come by my place. You turned down Alice's invitation this time, and she's quite upset about it!"
Ling Feng responded, "Definitely. I've been away too long during this trip abroad, and I truly miss home. Next time, I'll make sure to visit both you and Alice."
"Take care. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
...
After sending off Thomas and Alice, Ling Feng and Bai Feifei started preparing for their return to Huaxia. Calculating the time, this trip abroad had taken over a month, and Ling Feng was eagerly ready to head back home.
Once Ling Feng compiled the events into files and reports, he and Bai Feifei boarded the plane heading to Yanjing.
Before returning, Ling Feng had originally planned to notify Ting Yu and the others first, but Bai Feifei insisted on surprising them. She flatly refused to let Ling Feng inform them. Under Bai Feifei's watchful eye, Ling Feng had no choice but to accompany her onto the plane.
"I bet Ting Yu and the others will be utterly shocked and delighted when they suddenly see you!" Bai Feifei confidently declared.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and replied, "I still think it's better to notify them in advance..."
"Hmph, you just want them to meet you at the airport so you can see them earlier, right?" Bai Feifei said, her tone dropping. "Actually, the reason I don't want them to know is because I don't want them to realize you left them for over a month because of me. Even if they don't say it, they'll surely have some resentment towards me in their hearts."
Ling Feng gently grabbed Bai Feifei's hand and said softly, "Feifei, you're overthinking it. They wouldn't blame you. Besides, my trip abroad wasn't entirely due to your situation; it also involved investigating the Freedom Organization and the Atlantis Continent."
Bai Feifei leaned her head on Ling Feng's shoulder and said, "I know Ting Yu and the others are all kind-hearted girls, but I still worry. So please forgive my selfishness, okay?"
Ling Feng whispered back, "Okay, I won't blame you! We've got a long journey ahead, so try to get some rest."
Bai Feifei smiled sweetly, tilted her head to glance at Ling Feng's profile, and then quietly closed her eyes. Being by Ling Feng's side always brought her immense comfort and peace.
It didn't take long for Bai Feifei to fall into a deep sleep. Ling Feng gently touched her smooth cheek, tucking the stray strands of hair behind her ear.
Ling Feng had keenly picked up from Bai Feifei's earlier words that she wouldn't avoid her feelings anymore. This time, she truly intended to face Ting Yu and Han Rui. That's why she seemed so anxious and worried, fearing their opinions of her.
"Ah, the deep feelings of a beauty!" Ling Feng sighed softly, his gaze tender.
A few hours later, the plane landed at Yanjing International Airport, and Ling Feng and Bai Feifei disembarked.
"The air in Huaxia really has a sense of home!" Bai Feifei stretched lazily at the airport and cheerfully exclaimed, "Huaxia, I'm back!"
Returning to Huaxia, Bai Feifei seemed much more lively and radiant.
Upon stepping out of the airport, Ling Feng and Bai Feifei noticed a crowd of fanatical supporters holding banners surrounding the area.
"Could there be a celebrity on this flight?" Ling Feng exchanged a surprised look with Bai Feifei.
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Levstin is here! Everyone, go!"
A group of people in black emerged from the terminal, escorting a blonde woman wearing sunglasses.
Quickly, the surging crowd rushed forward, with fans shouting excitedly and reporters darting ahead like cats catching the scent of fish.
Despite being blocked by over ten security guards in black, the enthusiastic fans and relentless reporters refused to give up.
"Miss Levstin, are you in Huaxia for Miss Chen Ningxue?"
"Miss Levstin, what do you think was the main reason you lost at the Grammy Awards this time?"
"Miss Levstin, is it true that you once said Huaxia singers don't deserve to step onto the Grammy stage?"
...
Hearing the reporters' questions, Levstin's expression turned grim.
However, the reporters didn't relent and continued to pepper her with queries even more aggressively, perhaps hoping to provoke her into saying something controversial. A sensational headline would surely garner attention.
Watching the crowd scrambling for a scoop, Ling Feng curiously asked, "Who's Levstin?"
Bai Feifei appeared puzzled as well. "How would I know? I never pay attention to the entertainment world, let alone the Western entertainment scene!"
"Let's head out then!" Ling Feng shrugged. "Looks like being a celebrity isn't easy either."
As Ling Feng stepped out of the airport, three familiar figures appeared before him.
"Ling Feng, welcome home!" Liu Tingyu walked up and hugged Ling Feng tightly. "Seems you've gotten darker!"
Ling Feng looked at Liu Tingyu, Yun Hanrui, and Wei Meizi in complete bewilderment. How did they know he was coming back?
"I told them!" Bai Feifei chuckled mischievously in Ling Feng's ear. "I thought about it and realized that if I kept them in the dark, they'd surely get upset with you. Since you were considerate of me, I naturally wanted to be considerate of you too!"
A warm smile spread across Ling Feng's face. After being apart for over a month, seeing these women again filled his heart with joy.
Ling Feng hugged each of them in turn, feeling their excitement and happiness.
With Bai Feifei included, Ling Feng now had four stunning women with distinctly unique charms by his side. Around them, envious and jealous gazes from other men poured in.
"That pretty boy surrounded by four beauties—unbelievable! Are all the beautiful women blind nowadays? Don't they understand that true beauty lies in the heart?"
Despite being the focal point of countless envious stares, Ling Feng couldn't care less about the frenzied jealousy of other men.
"Let's go home!"
