Invincible martial expert

A red Panamera Porsche had just entered the gates of Yile Garden when the duty guard in the security room, with his sharp eyes, spotted Lin Xinru's distinctive vehicle. He no longer bothered to study the educational film on his computer screen and scurried out to greet her.

"Miss Lin, hello," the guard said, saluting her with his hand when he saw Lin Xinru in the driver's seat. When he noticed Chen Feng in the passenger seat, he was taken aback for a moment. He had been working here for so long yet this was the first time he had seen Miss Lin bring a man home.

Everyone knew that Lin Xinru was the ideal goddess in the hearts of countless single men in Star Sea City, especially as the darling of the Lin Family. Usually, he didn't even dare to fantasize about her, wondering who this lucky fellow sitting next to Miss Lin could be? However, as a security guard, the most important thing was to keep one's mouth shut. Even if he saw something, he had to act as if he didn't, which was the mark of a guard well-liked by his employers.

The electronic gate opened slowly, and the guard made a respectful welcoming gesture to Lin Xinru. The Porsche roared as Lin Xinru drove it straight to the villa, parked the car in the underground garage, and then led Chen Feng into the villa.

The European-style villa had a living room that was over a hundred square meters, with French leather sofas and white marble chandeliers. What caught the eye the most were the two classical pear wood carved chairs. To call these chairs was an understatement; they were more like pieces of art. Chen Feng had seen similar items a few times abroad, with bidding prices starting at several hundred thousand, and that's in US dollars. He roughly estimated that the furnishings in the entire living room were close to ten million dollars.

Chen Feng wasn't too surprised to see these things. Though the Lin Family wasn't the top-ranked clan in Star Sea City, this kind of wealth was nothing to them. Still, he continued to play the part of a bumpkin, touching the pear wood chairs over and over again, nearly drooling over them. He was now enjoying this simple and ordinary life; people no longer trembled in his presence, and the women by his side weren't always harboring ulterior motives.

Lin Xinru gave him a look, her eyes showing disdain. As expected, he was a nobody dazzled by the sight of money and utterly captivated by fancy possessions. She really didn't understand how her father had been fooled by him.

"Are you done looking?"

Lin Xinru couldn't help asking. After all, her time was precious, and once she had settled him in, she had to return to the company. There was a major project waiting for her there.

"Ah? Oh..."

Chen Feng quickly snapped back to reality, looked at Lin Xinru, and then said, "These chairs are quite nice, you can tell they're quality items. By the way, may I sit down?"

Lin Xinru felt a sudden urge to take off her high heel and smack it onto Chen Feng's face. If chairs weren't for sitting, what were they for? Eating?

"Yes, you can sit! If you behave well, when this is all over, I wouldn't mind giving you both chairs," Lin Xinru said with scornful laughter.

Lin Xinru simply couldn't bear it any longer. She just wanted Chen Feng to play his part well in this act so that her father and grandmother wouldn't detect anything amiss. Whatever conditions he demanded, as long as he obediently followed her instructions and did the job, she would be satisfied.

Upon hearing that she might give him the chairs, Chen Feng found it somewhat amusing.

"Haha, you said it, oh! You can't go back on your word! By the way... these things must be worth some money, right?"

"Were you deprived of money in a former life? Hurry up and come upstairs, I'll arrange a room for you!"

Lin Xinru really didn't want to waste time on anything else. She stopped feeding into his nonsense and led him upstairs. After all, the rooms were all on the second floor; the first floor housed only the kitchen, the living room, and the lounge.

Chen Feng shrugged nonchalantly and followed Lin Xinru upstairs. He was curious to see how Lin Xinru planned to handle the situation between them.

Indeed, up to this point, Chen Feng had been watching the whole situation as if it were a play. It wasn't that he wanted to play tricks; one reason was the old man's request, and the second, he couldn't deny that Lin Xinru had attracted his attention. But attraction is one thing, and falling in love is another. If it were so easy to fall for someone, he wouldn't have spent so many years abroad without finding a woman he liked. He usually just flirted casually.

There were many women more outstanding than Lin Xinru, at least five that Chen Feng had met, in terms of both beauty and wealth, but none had captured his heart.

Chen Feng hadn't expected the unexpected summons from the old man to his homeland would lead to such an encounter, so he was quite willing to see what sort of magic Lin Xinru had, to have caught the old man's eye.

As soon as Lin Xinru reached the second floor, she stopped, looking uncertainly at the several rooms nearby. How should she arrange this? Share a room with him? Absolutely not, out of the question. Just looking at that guy, she could tell he was no good. What if he took advantage in the middle of the night when she was asleep... She couldn't overpower him; it wouldn't do!

But if they stayed in separate rooms, would her father suspect? Wouldn't that reveal a flaw? No, that still wouldn't do!

Rejecting both options, Lin Xinru decided to ask Chen Feng for his opinion. Just as she turned around to ask the Chen Feng behind her, a figure suddenly bumped into her...

"Mmm..."

Lin Xinru's brain short-circuited because her lips were suddenly pressed against something—that was Chen Feng's cheek.

The moment Lin Xinru turned around, the following Chen Feng, who happened to be looking down, walked up the stairs. Chen Feng himself hadn't expected Lin Xinru to stop at the top of the stairs. With his gaze fixed on the wooden steps below, he hadn't seen her pause and collided with her when he looked up.

Chen Feng was taller than Lin Xinru, but the difference in the height of the stair steps meant their faces ended up at the same level, leading to the unfortunate 'collision'.

"Hmm, very nice..."

"Smack!"

Chen Feng was enjoying the sensation when a sharp pain suddenly shot across his face, and he saw Lin Xinru glaring at him with fury, her hand still raised in the air.
