Chapter 23 - A Tangle of Affections

Getting into the room I checked Liu Qiyue's health condition making sure it wasn't too serious. There were were some medicines and jug of water on her bedside cabinet.

I sat beside her bed and ogled her mature and seductive body for a while then asked Mrs.Liu how's your health now while placing my hand on her forehead seeming to check her body temperature. Her eyes twiched slightly seeing which I distanced myself a bit.

Liu Qiyue's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at me, surprised and slightly blushing. "Lin Feng, what are you doing here?" she asked softly, her voice weak but clear.

Ah..! I almost forgot that my charm has 100 value as if now I said to myself realising her reaction.

"I..I'm sorry Mrs. Liu it was my involvement that lead to Zhang Wei's arrest and I came to check on you and Wen," I said, gently pressing my hand against her forehead to check her temperature. "How are you feeling?"

She sighed, her gaze softening. "It's was a bit difficult but I'm glad we got to know it beforehand. Knowing you're here helps." She tried to sit up, but I gently placed a hand on her shoulder, keeping her down.

"Rest, Mrs. Liu. You need to recover," I insisted, my voice firm but kind. She nodded, allowing herself to relax back again as I helped her against the pillows.

I took the pills packs kept on her bedside cabinet and unpacked for her to take them with adding one affinity pill with the bunch. I offered them and a glass of water to her which she took and consumed quickly. [LIU QIYUE AFFINITY +30.....] giving me a notification in an instant.

I spent some time talking with her, reassuring her that everything would be fine. She seemed to draw strength from my presence, her initial shyness giving way to a warm, appreciative smile [LIU QIYUE AFFINITY +1...] with each interaction.

Suddenly Liu Wen entered the room, her eyes lighting up when she saw me and her mom chatting happily. "Mom, how are you feeling?" she asked, her voice full of concern.

"I'm feeling better, thanks to Lin Feng," Liu Qiyue replied, reaching out to squeeze her daughter's hand. "He's been very kind", she said.

Liu Wen turned to me, her eyes shining with gratitude as she kissed me on the lips before her mother. "Thank you, Lin Feng. For being with us at a time like this."

"It's nothing, really, It was even casued by me to some extent" I said, smiling awkwardly at both of them. "I'm just glad I could help." I said noticing a guilty expression on Liu Qiyue's face through the corner of my eyes.

"Okay It's getting late now take care I'll go back for now". I said and left through the door. Suddenly remembering something I went back and leaned through the door again. "By the way can I call Juan and his mother's here tomorrow if you don't mind ?"

She thought for a few seconds and nodded back at me.

As I went away Liu Wen turned to her mother and "Mom do you like Mr. Lin too" she asked looking at her mother intently.

Lin Qiyue's face turned red and she quickly denied it "No..No..No what gives you that idea?" she asked.

"I just noticed your expression when I kissed him just now, you know" she said as a matter of factly tone. "No need to shy away anyway he's a greedy man, already has more than two women in relationship with him excluding me" she said.

"Wha..what did you say?" she exclaimed hearing her daughter's words.

"Mom, it's obvious. You're blushed and act all shy around him. Plus, he's so kind and caring, is rich. It's okay to have feelings for him," Liu Wen said softly, taking her mother's hand in her palm caressing it gently. "We both like him, and he cares about us. There's no need to hide your feelings from him."

"Just give it a go, whatever happens, happens"

Liu Qiyue sighed, looking away. "It's complicated, Wener. I don't want to cause any trouble or confusion."

"Mom, love and feelings are always complicated. But what's important is being honest with yourself, even dad would want to see you happy. Liu Wen encouraged her mother.

Liu Qiyue looked back at her daughter, a mix of emotions on her face. "I... I just don't know, Wen. It's been so long and so overwhelming for me."

"Take your time, Mom. Just remember that we're here for each other. And Lin Feng... He'll be here for us too," Liu Wen said, giving her mother a reassuring smile.

Liu Qiyue nodded slowly, her mind still swirling with thoughts and feelings. "Thank you, Wen. I'll think about it."

I without a care in the world called Chu Bai and asked him to prepare for Juan, his mom and Ling'er to travel to Hunan as quickly as possible and went back to the hotel.

Reaching the hotel I ordered some food to eat and went to the freshen up while doing so "Sign in" I said.

"Just what I was missing here" I said as I finished cleaning myself and getting out in my bathrobe. The food was already placed there while I was bathing.

Eating the food I got ready and went down to the floor having restaurant below in the hotel and went to the bar area to have some drinks.

Ordering A Moutai to be delivered to me. The staff nodded politely and pointed me to a table located at a corner. I went there and was amazed as I could see the scenery below from above, just while sitting on the table.

Just in a while I was served the drink by a female waitress. Taking the glass from the table I started drinking asking the waitress to go away.

I drank slowly for a while enjoying the scenery outside. While I was enjoyong drinking my drink I saw as mature women sitting across me lost in thought.

Her table with untouched glass of liquor I stared at her for some time then spoke while sitting on my table "Hey Miss! Is the liquor not to your linking?" I asked.

Hearing my voice made her come out of her thoughts "Ah..sorry are you speaking to me?" she said in confusion.

" I asked is the liquor not to your linking?" I repeated.

"Ah... No I was just lost in thought" she said. "Would you like to join me if you don't have company" I asked.

She was quiet for a while then stood up directly and walked towards me and sat across me on my table. "Hi my name is Lin Feng" I introduced with a polite smile on my face.

"Hello my name is Su Fei" she introduced politely. "You looked qiute sad and out of space there" I said. "No..no I was just thinking something" she said back.

Her mood changed in an instant and she picked her glass "anyway let's drink" saying so she clinked her glass with mine and drank.

We both drank for a while talking and laughing for sometime all while I got some notifications [SU FEI AFFINITY +1...]

After sometime we both got up and shook hands as she said "anything it was nice meeting you Mr.Lin" "Pleasures all mine" I replied instantly.

After greeting goodbye to each other we separated and I went to my room to rest.
