Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

Chen Feng understood instantly, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips:

"Oh—afraid of being seen on a date with a man, which would damage Reporter Hao's reputation?"

What are you thinking!

Hao Mei blushed. "I was afraid my mom would see! If she knew I was out so late with a guy, she could interrogate me for three days and three nights!"

Chen Feng laughed heartily, but still wisely parked the car about a hundred meters away from the villa.

The two got out of the car.

The night was as still as water, the streetlights were dim and yellow, and the villa area was so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.

"Alright, let's go back."

Hao Mei, holding the bag of her newly bought dress, said somewhat awkwardly.

"good."

Chen Feng nodded, but did not turn and leave.

He looked at the woman before him, bathed in moonlight, her long, wine-red hair swaying gently in the night breeze, her delicate face appearing exceptionally beautiful in the dim light.

His time together tonight gave him a new perspective on this feisty female reporter.

"Sister Mei."

Chen Feng suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"Thank you so much for today."

Chen Feng's tone was unusually serious. "This isn't just polite talk; it's from the bottom of my heart."

Hao Mei paused for a moment, then pouted:

"No need for thanks, just remember you owe me a favor."

"That's natural."

As Chen Feng spoke, he suddenly reached out and grasped Hao Mei's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Hao Mei instinctively tried to pull it back.

But Chen Feng didn't give her a chance.

He bowed slightly, raised that fair and slender hand to his lips, and gently kissed the back of her hand.

At that moment, Hao Mei froze completely.

Chen Feng's lips were warm and soft, with a faint smell of tobacco. They lingered on the back of her hand for less than a second, but it was like a fire that instantly ignited the blood in her entire body.

"You...you want to die?!"

Hao Mei jerked her hand back as if burned, her face turning as red as a ripe apple. "What are you doing! You pervert!"

"This is Western etiquette."

Chen Feng looked completely innocent. "Didn't you tell me to act like a gentleman? That's how a gentleman says goodbye when escorting a lady home. I saw it in a movie."

"you……!"

Hao Mei stomped her feet in anger, "You haven't learned anything else, but you've picked up tricks for taking advantage of others pretty quickly!"

"That's because the teacher is good."

Chen Feng said with a grin, "Alright, alright, go back now, see you the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, he waved to Hao Mei, turned around and got into the car.

The Santana slowly drove away and disappeared into the night.

Hao Mei stood there, watching the taillights of the car gradually disappear into the distance, her heart pounding.

She subconsciously raised the hand that had been kissed, looked at it in the moonlight, and the blush on her face lingered for a long time.

"That bastard..."

She bit her lip and muttered a curse under her breath, but there was no hint of anger in her tone.

……

Hao Mei never dreamed that this whole scene would be seen clearly by a pair of eyes.

Beside a garden path in the villa area, a middle-aged woman wearing a silk nightgown and a thin coat was hiding behind a large tree, her eyes wide open.

That was Hao Mei's mother, Li Fen.

Li Fen is in her early fifties, but she takes good care of herself and looks like she's only in her forties.

She was a traditional housewife, and her husband, Hao Jianguo, was the director of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau, who was always extremely busy.

Bored at home alone, she developed the habit of taking a walk after dinner.

As usual, she went out for a walk tonight, and when she got to the entrance of the residential area, she saw a black car drive in.

It was nothing at first, but when she saw the woman getting out of the car, she was instantly stunned.

Isn't that my own daughter?

It's so late, why are you coming back in a man's car?

Li Fen's gossip spirit was burning brightly, so she immediately hid behind a tree and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Then, she saw that scene.

The tall, handsome man held his daughter's hand and bent down to kiss it!

Li Fen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

My God!

Meimei has a boyfriend?!

Finally figured it out?!

Why have you never told me this before?!

She was so excited she almost cried out, but she managed to cover her mouth.

After the car drove away, Hao Mei slowly walked back to the villa alone, while Li Fen quickly turned a corner, pretending to have just finished a walk and was walking back.

"Meimei?"

Li Fen feigned surprise as she went to greet her, "Why are you so late?"

"mom?"

Hao Mei was startled. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm just out for a walk."

Li Fen looked completely innocent, but her eyes darted around Hao Mei like searchlights. "Hey, what are you holding? New clothes?"

"Um...it was issued by my company."

Hao Mei guiltily hid the bag of dresses behind her back.

"Oh..." Li Fen nodded meaningfully, "Working overtime so late, huh? You must be tired."

"Yes...it's quite tough."

The two walked towards the villa one after the other. Li Fen had been holding back all the way, but finally burst out the moment she entered the door.

"Beautiful!"

She grabbed Hao Mei's arm, her eyes flashing with an alarming light, "Who was that man just now?"

"Wh...what kind of man?"

Hao Mei's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed instantly.

Stop pretending! I saw everything!

Li Fen's voice trembled with excitement, "It's that guy who drove the black car, wore a suit, and kissed your hand! He's so handsome! Is he your boyfriend?"

Hao Mei was completely dumbfounded.

Oh no, we've been caught.

"Mom, we're just ordinary friends..."

No explanation needed!

Li Fen interrupted her, shoving her onto the sofa before excitedly sitting down herself. "Tell me quickly! What's his name? Where is he from? What does he do for a living? What's his family's financial situation? How long have you been dating? When are you bringing him home to meet your dad and me?"

A barrage of questions came at Hao Mei like a machine gun, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

"Mom! He's not my boyfriend!"

Hao Mei blushed with anxiety, "He's just... just a friend! A normal friend!"

"A casual friend kissing your hand?"

Li Fen gave her a look that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" "I'm over fifty years old, and I've never met such an ordinary friend!"

"He...he is..." Hao Mei stammered, not knowing how to explain.

You can't exactly say that guy is a thug who just taught her how to eat Western food tonight, and he's using that knowledge to take advantage of her, can you?

"Alright, alright, I won't force you if you don't want to tell me."

Li Fen patted Hao Mei's hand, her face full of affection, "Mom just wants to ask one question: how far have things progressed in your relationship?"

This question exploded in Hao Mei's mind like a bomb.

Which step?

What are you thinking about?

That scoundrel who's a hoodlum, talks nonsense, and has two "older sisters" at home?

"I...we really are just ordinary friends..." Hao Mei lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

Looking at her daughter's shy expression, Li Fen already knew the answer in her heart.

She's lived most of her life, what hasn't she seen?

The daughter's eyes, her expression, and her face that was so red it looked like it could drip blood—it was clear she was in love!

"Okay, Mom won't ask anymore."

Li Fen stood up, smiled meaningfully, and said, "But let me make this clear: you're welcome to bring her back anytime you want. As for your father, I'll take care of that."

After saying that, she hummed a little tune and went upstairs, leaving Hao Mei sitting alone on the sofa, dumbfounded.

It took Hao Mei a while to come to her senses.

She leaned back on the sofa, recalling everything that had happened tonight, the roguish yet earnest man, the warmth of his kiss on her hand… “Chen Feng, you bastard…”

She buried her face in the cushion and muttered a curse.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that the corners of her mouth are subtly turning up.
