Lin Feng was startled by the sudden appearance of this "sister" and her actions. Once he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but find it amusing. Dear lord, am I being treated as a gigolo by a rich woman?

An invitation for a tryst, and she even slipped me a small red packet as a greeting gift...

"AHEM..." Lin Feng cleared his throat lightly, addressing the flamboyant older woman with a smile. "You flatter me, Miss. I'm just an average guy, not as impressive as you've made me out to be! Besides, I have plans tonight. I'm truly sorry..."

Towards this 'sister' with such discerning taste, Lin Feng surprisingly didn't have the heart to send her off with a harsh rebuff... After all, this was a unique experience, a first for him, and he was still processing it!

"Oh dear... you don't understand, young man. Those teenage girls don't know how to take care of you men! I have plenty of experience, you know. Stick with me, and I guarantee you won't want to sleep all night..." The wealthy older woman still hadn't given up on attracting Lin Feng's attention. She glanced at Li Liping and Cao Ying beside Lin Feng, then flashed Lin Feng a "charming" smile and blew him a kiss...

"HUMPH!" Suddenly, Cao Ying, who had been observing everything with a cool gaze, started to feel a bit unsettled. At first, she was merely an amused spectator to Lin Feng being hit on by the wealthy older woman. But when the latter persisted, Cao Ying felt a pang of indignation. After all, Lin Feng was there on her invitation. Although there was no defined relationship between them, seeing him being fought over by such an elderly woman made her uncomfortable!

Liu Leping turned to look at Cao Ying's expression, her face breaking into a triumphant smile. She advanced a few steps and used her body to block the infatuated rich woman's line of sight to Lin Feng.

"Old Hag, what was that you said? You want my boyfriend to spend the night with you? You've got some nerve! Take a good look at yourself! Aren't you afraid of scaring people if you go out at night? HUMPH!" Li Liping sharply interrogated the rich woman, not holding back at all.

Lin Feng didn't know how he had suddenly become Li Liping's boyfriend... However, seeing her eagerly coming to his rescue, he didn't have the heart to refute her claim... Besides, if he had to choose between this matronly woman and the elegant Li Liping, he wouldn't be foolish enough to pick the matron!

Truth be told, this feeling of being fought over was strangely flattering. The only fly in the ointment was that if this older woman had been a bit more attractive and not so off-putting, it would have been perfect!

Seeing Li Liping step forward, the matronly woman, perhaps worried that escalating things would affect her status or simply feeling inferior in Li Liping's presence, pursed her lips resentfully. Ultimately, she didn't dare to talk back and slipped away into the crowd.

Seeing the older woman retreat in such a sorry state, Cao Ying couldn't help but laugh. It seems being a bit feisty has its advantages, she mused. Her cousin's sharp, barbed outburst had been quite effective!

"Are you two full?" Lin Feng asked. Feeling uncomfortable being gawked at like some prize, he wanted to get the two girls out of this contentious place quickly.

Cao Ying nodded slightly. Her thoughts mirrored Lin Feng's; she also wanted to escape the feeling of being stared at. "We're full. Let's go. It's already past nine!"

"Sigh, alright, let's go then..." Li Liping signed the bill, then lazily walked over to Cao Ying and took her hand.

"What's wrong?" Cao Ying asked casually, noticing Li Liping's lack of enthusiasm.

"I barely ate anything... Now I'm hungry," Li Liping grumbled softly, patting her stomach. "Besides, you two won your bets and got prizes. I'm the only one who's empty-handed and got nothing!"

"Alright, alright, I'll take you to the school cafeteria for a late-night snack later," Cao Ying said with a smile, placating Li Liping.

"Fine! That's the only way... Sis, I want to discuss something with you..." Li Liping's eyes suddenly widened. She pouted slightly, gazing at Cao Ying with an expression of utmost innocence.

"Stop trying to look pitiful in front of me... I'm not a man; I won't be charmed by you! Just say what's on your mind..." Cao Ying snapped, seeing right through Li Liping's act.

"You just won five million in cash. Can you give me back my Carrera GT car keys? I'll even add some money so you can pick out a new car!" Li Liping said, her eyes twinkling. "That was my birthday present... Sis, you can't just take my beloved away from me!"

"So that's what you were getting at!" Cao Ying chuckled at Li Liping's request. "But now that it's in my hands, do you really think you can get it back?"

"Sis... please have pity on me... If you keep the car keys, I'll have to walk to school!" Li Liping whined, her voice dripping with a captivating charm.

Cao Ying wasn't particularly affected, but Lin Feng, standing beside them, couldn't help but shiver...

Li Liping's destructive power was truly formidable. Any normal man would probably be unable to resist such coquetry and would give her whatever she asked for.

"Haven't you heard the saying? 'A pitiful person must have a detestable side'..." Cao Ying continued to tease with a smile. "When you made that bet with me, hoping I'd have to run in a... b-bikini, did you think about how pitiful you'd be then?"

"Sis... you're awful..." Li Liping blushed crimson. When she made the bet with Cao Ying, she had indeed been eagerly anticipating seeing Cao Ying streak naked; she just hadn't expected to lose.

"Alright, alright... I'm being serious now!" Cao Ying handed her bank card to Li Liping. "Take this five million and buy yourself another car. It's not like I can buy a car in my own name anyway..."

Cao Ying's father was the Mayor of Jiangzhou City. Of course, she couldn't be seen driving a luxury car registered in her own name on the streets of Jiangzhou. That's why "borrowing" Li Liping's car was a matter of necessity for her!

By the same token, the five million was a hot potato for Cao Ying. Regardless of where the money came from, she couldn't spend it casually, or it would cause unnecessary trouble for Mayor Cao...

Giving the money to Li Liping for her to buy a car was the best way to handle it...

"Five million for me to buy a car?" Li Liping looked at the bank card Cao Ying handed her, stunned for a moment. Then, she shrieked with delight, hugged Cao Ying tightly, planted a firm kiss on her rosy cheek, and said with a wide grin, "Sis, you're the best! I love you!"

Lin Feng watched Li Liping's antics with an amused smile. He felt a bit curious... He remembered kissing Cao Ying in the restroom last time but didn't seem to have had a chance to kiss her cheek. He wondered what that would feel like...

As Lin Feng, Cao Ying, and Li Liping walked out of the Yuefu Hotel entrance, they suddenly spotted a black Audi A6L with the license plate Jiang 0002 parked by the curb. A man in a sharp suit, whom all three recognized, stepped out of the car—Li Jiawei!

"Miss Cao, Miss Li, Lin Feng... what are you all doing here?" Li Jiawei, the mayor's chief secretary, paused for a second when he saw the three of them. However, his actions didn't falter in the slightest; he immediately walked to the other side of the car and pulled the door open...

The person riding in car number 2 of Jiangzhou, important enough to have the mayor's chief secretary Li Jiawei personally get out and open the door, could naturally only be Mayor Cao Tiannan himself.
