Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Fleeing Through the Door

"Then why did you say it?" Huo Feifei asked, blinking.

"Of course, saying something and doing it are two different things," Lin Kuang said with a playful grin, captivated by her cute expression. "Besides, I like you too, Feifei."

Upon hearing his words, Huo Feifei’s pretty face flushed a deep crimson, as if blood were about to drip from her cheeks. Her unruly little heart started to THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, accelerating uncontrollably.

"Brother Kuang, you’re bullying me again," Huo Feifei said with immense shyness, but inside, she was overjoyed, simply unable to be happier.

"Not at all. I’m being very serious," Lin Kuang continued, looking at her bashful expression.

Hearing this, Huo Feifei’s face turned an even deeper shade of red. She was so flustered she didn’t know what to do with herself.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he affectionately stroked her head. "Alright, what’s there to be so excited about?"

At his words, her blush faltered. She thought Lin Kuang was just teasing her, and the joy that had just bloomed in her heart instantly vanished.

Watching the expressions flicker across her pretty face, Lin Kuang smiled faintly. He opened his arms and pulled her into an embrace. "Alright, I’m not lying to you," he said, gently patting her on the back.

Hearing his words, the unease on her face was replaced by a crimson flush, her heart filled with disbelief.

Blushing, Huo Feifei mustered her courage. "Brother Kuang, are... are you serious?"

Lin Kuang nodded. "Why would I lie to you?"

Hearing his answer, Huo Feifei was so excited she was at a loss for words, but she instinctively wrapped her arms around him in return, pressing her head tightly against his shoulder. At this moment, Huo Feifei was exceedingly happy.

She had secretly adored Lin Kuang for so long. To suddenly hear him say he liked her felt like winning the lottery. Her excitement was indescribable. Feeling her heart hammering against his chest, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but tighten his embrace.

By now, Lin Kuang had come to terms with his situation. In the grand scheme of a lifetime, things like this didn’t seem so complicated anymore. Since so many women liked him, he didn’t want to let any of them down. Worst-case scenario, he would just accept them all. What was the big deal? Of course, Lin Kuang only dared to think this way because he knew all the women genuinely liked him.

Huo Feifei rested in his arms, still finding it hard to believe this was all real. But the strong, masculine scent coming from him and the solid warmth of his embrace assured her that this was no illusion.

"Feifei," Lin Kuang said with a smile, still holding her, "I have to be clear with you. You’re not my only woman, and neither is Wan’er. If you’re willing, you can stay by my side. Of course, if you’re not, I won’t force you."

"It’s... it’s okay, Brother Kuang! I don’t mind, really! As long as you’re willing to have me, Feifei is happy to be with you!" Huo Feifei blurted out excitedly, as if she were afraid he would change his mind.

Sensing her fervent emotions, Lin Kuang gently patted her shoulder. "Alright, as long as you’re willing, that’s all that matters. Don’t be nervous," he said with a smile.

Truthfully, Lin Kuang was very grateful to the heavens. So many beautiful women, all of them Top Grade beauties, wanted to be with him. It made him ecstatic. Of course, any man would be overjoyed in his shoes, and Lin Kuang was no exception.

"Mhm, mhm! I’m not nervous... just a bit excited. And very happy," Huo Feifei said, overjoyed.

"Good girl," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, still holding her.

"AHEM. Am I interrupting something?" At that moment, Mu Wan’s teasing voice echoed in the room.

"Yelp!" At the sound of Mu Wan’s voice, Huo Feifei cried out in surprise. She hastily pushed away from Lin Kuang, her face flushing as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Mu Wan. She looked just like a child who had done something wrong, waiting to be reprimanded.

Mu Wan, who had been feeling a little sour herself, couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh at Huo Feifei’s adorable reaction. "Alright, silly girl, you’re still acting like a child. I knew this jerk had his eyes on you for a long time. This is good, too. From now on, we’ll be even closer sisters," she said, walking up to Huo Feifei with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Feifei suddenly looked up, her face red and her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Mu Wan. "Sister... Sister Wan’er, you’re... you’re not mad at me?" she asked, her voice full of incredulity. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Just moments ago, hearing Mu Wan’s voice, Huo Feifei had braced herself for a scolding. She had even prepared herself to take all the blame, no matter what Mu Wan said, just to prevent a fight between her and Lin Kuang. She never imagined that not only was Mu Wan not angry, but she would say something like this.

"What? Silly girl, were you hoping I’d be angry?" Mu Wan said, feigning annoyance at her incredulous look.

"Ah, no, no, no! That’s not it, Sister Wan’er! You’ve misunderstood, that’s not what I meant!" Huo Feifei’s face turned red as she frantically waved her arms, trying to explain.

Seeing this, Mu Wan laughed again. I’d worry about this clumsy girl being with anyone else, but leaving her with Lin Kuang is actually a decent choice. It’s just... that jerk Lin Kuang gets to benefit from all of this.

At that thought, Mu Wan shot Lin Kuang an exasperated glare. He just responded with a foolish grin, pretending he didn’t know what was going on.

"You jerk," Mu Wan said fiercely, looking at him. "Are you playing coy after getting what you want?"

"Eh? What are you talking about? Wan’er, my love, you’ve got it all wrong! Am I that kind of person? I’m really not!" Lin Kuang said with a look of profound grievance, as if he’d been gravely wronged.

Mu Wan looked at him with contempt. "Cut the crap and go take a shower. I need to have a talk with Feifei, lest this innocent little girl gets completely fooled by a scoundrel like you."

"Ahem. Wan’er, my love, I wholeheartedly support you two having a chat. But to say that I fool people? I can’t possibly agree with that!" Lin Kuang declared with an air of self-righteousness.

Mu Wan’s lips curved into a dangerously charming smile. "Oh? So you’re not going?"

At the sight of that smile, Lin Kuang quickly backed away. "Just kidding!" he said with a placating grin. "I’m going, I’m going right now!"

With that, he fled the room.
