"Here's how it is!" Yun Hanrui said with a wry smile.

It turns out that the Biotech Park jointly constructed by Yanjing City and Chaoyang Group is nearing completion. Apart from Chaoyang Group, numerous renowned biotech companies both domestically and internationally have set their sights on this bio-ecological park.

Among them, Asia-Pacific Biotech Group stands out as a fairly powerful contender. Asia-Pacific Biotech Group, a major corporation from Singapore, holds significant influence in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and India, and is also a key foreign resource highly valued by Yanjing City.

The founder of Asia-Pacific Biotech Group was a Chen Family member who fled to Singapore due to wartime chaos a century ago. Over the past century, the group has undergone rapid development and has now become a biotech company with far-reaching influence across Asia!

Although Chaoyang Group is one of the top biotech research firms domestically, it still lags behind Asia-Pacific Biotech Group in certain respects!

As the Biotech Park project neared completion, Yanjing City hosted a multinational conference inviting well-known biotech enterprises across Asia. It was at this event that David met Yun Hanrui and was instantly captivated by her intelligence, beauty, and confidence. Coupled with Chaoyang Group's strong reputation, the Chen Family wholeheartedly supported David in pursuing Yun Hanrui.

"Chen David? What a mediocre name!" Ling Feng sneered. Though he didn't say it aloud, he wasn't happy about David trying to swoop in.

"What do you mean, 'Chen David'!" Liu Tingyu laughed. "He's actually called Chen Zhen, with his English name as David. He thinks it's super fancy!"

"Fancy?!" Yun Hanrui scoffed. "He's just a privileged heir flaunting his family background—a total pretentious fool!"

"Let's head back to the villa for now. We've prepared to give you a proper welcome!" Liu Tingyu said with a cheerful smile.

Bai Feifei hesitated briefly before apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, I'd like to... head home first. I... I miss my family!"

Ling Feng patted Bai Feifei's shoulder, saying, "Go ahead, Auntie's been worried about you. You should definitely visit them first!"

After half an hour, Ling Feng dropped Bai Feifei home and then returned to the villa.

Upon entering the villa, Ling Feng noticed how clean and organized it was. The three women who lived there had developed a bond that made them seem like genuine sisters, getting along harmoniously.

"It feels good to be home!" Ling Feng lazily sprawled on the living room sofa, looking utterly relaxed and content.

The three women had already tied on aprons. "Look at you slacking off. Just relax properly in the living room; we'll have the food ready soon!"

With that, the three women disappeared into the kitchen, leaving no one to keep Ling Feng company.

Ling Feng watched their backs, a trace of tenderness flashing through his eyes. Having their affection really felt like the happiest thing in life.

At this moment, Ling Feng's phone rang.

"Hello? What's up?" Ling Feng answered the call in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Hey, kiddo, is this how you talk to your master?" came Long Guangyi's voice from the other side. "You've returned without reporting your progress—what are you waiting for?"

Ling Feng spoke lazily, "Come on, I just got back to the country. Can't I at least take a break?"

"Take a break my foot!" Long Guangyi snapped. "Don't think I don't know you're cozying up in your little gentle village! I'm telling you, a gentle village is a hero's grave..."

"Alright, alright, stop!" Ling Feng quickly interjected. "I got it. I'll come and report on the mission tomorrow. Will that work?"

"That's more like it!" Long Guangyi replied.

Ling Feng asked, "Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up!"

"Wait a moment…" Long Guangyi said over the phone. "This time, you handled the mission very well, and I'm quite impressed!"

Ling Feng paused for a second, listening to the dial tone. He couldn't react immediately!

Had Long Guangyi actually praised him? Although Ling Feng didn't particularly care for his approval, hearing it still brought a touch of joy to his heart.

"Why am I thinking like this?" Ling Feng muttered, mocking himself. Gathering his thoughts, he made his way toward the kitchen.

By now, the aroma of food was wafting from the kitchen. Ling Feng leaned against the kitchen doorway, watching the three charming cooks busily working. His lips curled into a smile.

"Hungry? Almost ready!" Liu Tingyu turned to Ling Feng, laughing.

Ling Feng shook his head. "Let me help out too!"

"Forget it! Just don't meddle in here!" Yun Hanrui gave Ling Feng a sidelong glance. "The kitchen is a sacred space—no men allowed!"

Wei Meizi didn't say anything but smiled warmly at Ling Feng, her gaze filled with tenderness.

Ling Feng shrugged, feeling relieved to see that the three women were free of any lingering tensions. It brought him comfort.

Since his offer to help was rejected, Ling Feng returned to his room and started unpacking his belongings. Naturally, he had brought back small gifts for the three women after his time abroad.

Before long, the enticing aroma filled the villa.

"Dinner's served!" Yun Hanrui called out loudly. "Ling Feng, time to eat!"

When Ling Feng went downstairs, the dining table was already covered with an array of colorful and delicious dishes.

Braised pork ribs, oil-braised prawns, steamed mandarin fish, pork belly taro soup, mixed mushroom stir-fry, and tomato-egg soup—six dishes filled the table. Just smelling the delicious aroma made Ling Feng's mouth water.

"I can't hold back anymore!" Ling Feng joked, pretending to drool as he reached out to pick up a prawn.

With a slap, Liu Tingyu swatted Ling Feng's outstretched hand. "Go wash your hands first."

Ling Feng made a playful face before obediently heading to the bathroom to rinse his hands.

When he came back, the three women were already seated. Wei Meizi had opened a bottle of red wine, filling a glass for each of them.

"Ling Feng, welcome home!" Liu Tingyu raised her wine glass with a smile. "Having you back safe and sound is our greatest hope!"

Looking at their radiant smiles, Ling Feng was moved. He raised his glass too and said, "Thank you. Honestly, while I was abroad, I missed you all terribly!"

The four glasses clinked lightly, producing a crisp sound.

"Try some of the dishes we made!" After the toast, Yun Hanrui said with a smile. "See if you can guess who made what!"

Ling Feng chuckled and started eating. First, he tasted a bit of the braised pork ribs. The tender, flavorful meat practically melted in his mouth—it was a delightful experience.

"This dish…" Ling Feng furrowed his brows, showing a serious expression.

He glanced at the three women before suddenly breaking into a smile. "This is absolutely delicious, Xiao Rui. I didn't expect your cooking to be this good!"

Yun Hanrui was startled but then let out a relieved breath. "You scared me! I tasted it myself; it wasn't bad. How did you know I made this dish?"

Ling Feng offered a mysterious smile. "That's a secret."

Liu Tingyu chuckled, "What secret? Xiao Rui, your expression earlier gave it all away—it's obvious to anyone paying attention!"

Yun Hanrui suddenly understood and angrily replied, "Ling Feng, you're so bad!"

Ling Feng burst into laughter, "Alright, let me try the next dish!"
