Chapter 99: Sister, You Absolutely Must Win Him Over!
At this point, Lin Feng had nothing more to say. After all, although the filming location had been rented by the production team, given the Chu family's influence, no one dared to object. Besides, wasn’t this an open hotel to the public?
Lin Feng remained silent, watching as Chu Lingshuang walked away from him. Her shoe soles pressed softly on the carpet, the heels leaving faint square imprints on the plush fabric that quickly faded. When she passed the wardrobe, her steps faltered briefly; she paused just long enough to glance inside before pushing the door open and leaving.
When the door slammed shut with a definitive “bang,” Lin Feng finally exhaled deeply. But as his mind cleared, the earlier scene flashed vividly before him. He didn’t know why, but in that fleeting moment, an urge to conquer her had risen within him.
No, no, no—he wasn’t crazy! He had no respect for such extremes, especially since she had tormented him so cruelly in the past. If he let himself be assimilated by such madness, he would be utterly pathetic! Lin Feng chuckled bitterly to himself.
He rose and strode directly to the wardrobe, yanking open the sliding doors forcefully.
Crash!
Xiao Ran shot out sideways, nearly colliding with his toes.
Though Lin Feng was unaware of the relationship between her and Chu Lingshuang, he instinctively disliked meddling in others’ affairs. Looking down at the back of Xiao Ran’s head, he said coldly, “Miss Xiao, you’re safe now.”
In other words, “You can leave.”
But Xiao Ran suddenly grabbed his pant leg, kneeling and pressing herself to the floor. She looked up at him with eyes blazing with urgency.
“Why stop now, brother? Hurry and keep going!”
Keep going my foot! Always stirring up trouble just for fun, huh? Hiding in the wardrobe to watch the show while letting him face that devil alone wasn’t enough—you actually enjoyed it?
Lin Feng withdrew his leg coldly, stepping back two paces before sitting on the edge of the bed, maintaining his composure. “Miss Xiao, you can leave now.”
“No!”
Xiao Ran crawled forward, clutching the bed’s edge, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “This is the crucial moment, brother! How can you back down now?!”
She was clearly thrilled, gesticulating wildly. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen my sister take a hit. Brother, you’re amazing—truly the idol I chose!”
What?!
Wait a minute...
Lin Feng’s scalp tingled as he blurted out, “Hold on, you just said ‘my sister’?”
“Yes, I—”
Xiao Ran was about to continue, but reason suddenly returned to her. She hastily corrected herself, “No, I mean... well, actually...”
Lin Feng’s lip twitched at her awkward smile. Come on, those two phrases are not the same! Did she think he was an idiot?
“Brother, you’re incredible! I’ve decided—starting today, you’re my idol! I’m going to record this glorious moment right now!”
Without another word, Xiao Ran jumped up excitedly and bounded out.
The room fell silent once again.
But Lin Feng’s heart churned like stormy seas. He’d suspected Xiao Ran was abnormal, but to find out she was Chu Lingshuang’s sister! The Chu family really knew how to keep secrets. The proud second young lady was active in showbiz—this was something else.
It seemed he not only needed to keep his distance from Chu Lingshuang but also from Xiao Ran, who was unlikely to be harmless.
Sighing, Lin Feng slipped off his shoes and lay back on the bed, resting against the headboard with eyes half-closed. What other terrifying secrets was the Chu family hiding from him?
...
“Miss Ranran, Miss Lingshuang requests your presence in her room,” Qin Xue said, meeting Chu Yunran as she returned.
Seeing Qin Xue’s worried expression, Chu Yunran grew excited. “Xue Xue, you won’t believe what I just saw! My big sister, that demon, actually got taken down—by a man, no less! Hahaha!”
In contrast to Chu Yunran’s enthusiasm, Qin Xue sighed. “Miss Ranran, Miss Lingshuang...”
“You want me to go to her room? Got it! I’m on my way!”
As Chu Yunran cheerfully rushed out, Qin Xue’s worry deepened. She had already warned Ranran as per Lingshuang’s instructions, but Ranran paid no heed. If Qin Xue had seen correctly, Lingshuang had just emerged from that very room.
And now, Ranran was eavesdropping near the door...
This was a disaster.
Bursting with excitement, Chu Yunran pushed open Chu Lingshuang’s door. The moment her right foot stepped inside, Zhang Peng and the others grabbed her.
At the end of the room, Chu Lingshuang faced away, sipping tea slowly from her cup.
Chu Yunran panicked. “Xiao Zhang, you’re bold! How dare you grab me? I’ll fire you all!”
Clearly, her threats held no sway before Chu Lingshuang.
“Miss Ranran, the young lady has arranged a private jet for you. It will depart for Indonesia in half an hour.”
“!”
Panic overtook Chu Yunran. Her feet kicked wildly in the air as she pleaded, “Sister, my dear sister, please don’t! I have something important to tell you!”
“Let go of me!!”
She struggled, but to the well-trained bodyguards, she was like a kitten.
By the floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Lingshuang raised an empty hand and waved it lightly in the air.
Zhang Peng nodded immediately. Glancing at his men, he started to escort Chu Yunran out.
Desperate, Chu Yunran bit Zhang Peng’s arm.
“Ahh!”
“Ugh!”
Zhang Peng loosened his grip in pain.
In the next instant, Chu Yunran scrambled to the desk.
Hearing the commotion, Chu Lingshuang’s anger flared. Just as she was about to deduct Zhang Peng’s bonus for the month, Chu Yunran’s urgent voice rang out.
“Sis, I’m telling you, you absolutely must win over Brother Lin. I want him to be my brother-in-law!”
Her clear voice echoed through the room, instantly frying the brains of Zhang Peng and the others standing at the door.
What?! Brother Lin as her brother-in-law?!
Wait a minute...
Is that position actually the lady’s husband?!
Wait... what...
Chu Lingshuang turned her head lightly, setting down her cup. She raised her hand slightly, signaling Zhang Peng and the others to leave.
Still stunned, Zhang Peng and his men caught her meaning and, unwilling to linger, hurriedly exited.
Once the door closed, her cold gaze swept over Chu Yunran.
At that moment, Chu Yunran clung to the desk edge, chin resting on the surface like a small cat, eyes shining brightly with fervent adoration...
