Chapter 117 You child, aren't you spending too much money?
"Several times a day?!" Xia Ning immediately frowned and looked at Su Wan suspiciously.
Qin Weiguo coughed lightly: "Well... I was just using an analogy."
"The key is for you to remember: as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!"
"Only by ensuring that Lin Feng, this 'green mountain,' remains lush and verdant can you have a continuous supply of 'firewood,' a longer-lasting happiness, and even... more offspring, right?"
"For the sake of a longer-term future, it is well worth it to temporarily restrain your current desires."
To Lin Feng's surprise, Xia Ning and Su Wan did not show any displeasure or opposition after hearing these words.
They exchanged a glance, and after a moment, Xia Ning spoke first, her tone surprisingly serious:
"Team Leader Qin, you're right. We didn't think things through and only considered the immediate situation."
She touched her pregnant belly. "For my husband's health, and for... our future children, we know what to do."
Su Wan nodded, a hint of remorse on her pretty face: "Yes, we'll listen to the team leader. We'll... pay attention to the frequency in the future."
Lin Feng watched in stunned silence, never expecting that Team Leader Qin's intervention would have such an immediate and effective result!
Lin Feng ended the call and arranged for the housekeeper to take Xia Ning and Su Wan away first, while he continued to video chat with his parents.
In the picture, the parents are in a brand new home, with a bright living room in the background.
The two looked quite well, but their eyes immediately revealed deep concern.
"Xiaofeng!" her mother called out first, her voice filled with worry. "Are you alright?"
"Your dad and I were terrified by the last instance!"
"My heart was pounding when you guys went into the back hill of the school!"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat—
If parents watch the live stream, doesn't that mean all their inappropriate moments have been seen?
He smiled somewhat awkwardly, his tone carrying a hint of embarrassment:
"Dad, Mom, I'm really fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly alright. The dungeon is over."
The father cleared his throat, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat serious:
"Well, son, your mother and I watched the live stream, and there are some things... we need to ask you about."
He paused, seemingly considering his words.
"What happened between you and that girl named Su Wan in the last dungeon? You two seemed... well... quite close."
Just as he feared, Lin Feng's toes dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.
"Ah... this..."
Lin Feng stammered, his eyes darting around, "Dad, Mom, don't misunderstand, that...that's all strategy! It's a mission given by the Ghost Stories Strategy Team!"
This isn't exactly shifting the blame, since the strategy team did indeed devise a "Sea King Plan" for him.
Lin's mother sighed, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:
"Xiaofeng, it's not that I'm criticizing you. Didn't you just start dating that girl named Xia Ning in the last dungeon? How come you're dating your instructor in this dungeon... You're such a womanizer, aren't you?"
Several black lines instantly appeared on Lin Feng's forehead.
The word "flower" is incredibly damaging when it comes from parents.
"The situations are different. Xia Ning's side... and Instructor Su's side... sigh, these are all necessary strategic arrangements!"
"Everything is for the sake of clearing the dungeon. You wouldn't want to see your son fail in the dungeon, and bring bad luck to the Dragon Kingdom as well, would you?"
The parents exchanged a glance and fell into a brief silence.
Although the son's words were blunt, they were the truth.
Although the romance route took some effort, I managed to survive and even brought a generous reward to the Dragon Kingdom!
"So you're planning to...have both?" the father asked bluntly. "Two girlfriends, or rather, two wives—can you handle that kind of relationship?"
"They're all incredibly powerful and uncanny beings, this is no joke!"
Lin Feng took a deep breath: "Dad, Mom, don't worry about that."
"Xia Ning and Su Wan... they are both quite understanding and know my special situation."
"They...they get along quite well, their relationship is good, and they haven't had any conflicts."
Seeing their son say this, the two elders were somewhat relieved.
Lin's mother immediately shifted her attention to more practical issues:
"Both girls are pregnant now, is there anyone to take care of them?"
"Are they feeling unwell? Can your father and I come over to help take care of them? How can we get there?"
Lin Feng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no! Mom, you can't come! The real world and this place are not connected; there's no teleportation hall, you simply can't get here!"
He patiently explained, "You really don't need to worry. The medical facilities here are excellent, and we also have a very professional housekeeping team that will take excellent care of them. You can rest assured!"
To change the subject, and out of genuine concern, Lin Feng asked, "Dad, Mom, where are you now? The surroundings look nice."
Lin's father continued, "It was arranged by the Ghost Story Strategy Team. They provide food and lodging, and even give us a 'special allowance' every month, saying it's so you won't have any worries and can focus on dealing with the world of ghost stories."
"We feel like we've started living the retirement life of retired cadres ahead of schedule, and we're bored out of our minds every day."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng understood and felt much more at ease.
The country's actions are not only out of concern, but also out of profound foresight.
On the one hand, it ensures that he can wholeheartedly represent the country in fighting against supernatural tales, and on the other hand, it also eliminates the possibility of hostile foreign forces or criminals trying to control him by threatening his parents.
As the video call drew to a close, Lin's mother couldn't help but offer another word of advice:
"Xiaofeng, although both of your wives are pregnant, I don't think they're easy to deal with. You... you'd better take it easy!"
"Take care of yourself, don't...don't overwork yourself!"
After saying that, she laughed a little embarrassedly.
Lin Feng's face flushed red again: "Mom! What did you say! I know! I'll be careful!"
He ended the call almost as if he were fleeing for his life.
........................
The next morning, Lin Feng woke up naturally, but Xia Ning was no longer by his side.
After a full day of rest yesterday, he felt refreshed and relaxed.
After washing up, he strolled down to the spacious living room on the first floor, intending to get some drinks.
Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire space.
However, the scene before him made him pause.
Su Wan was curled up in a corner of the sofa, her long legs crossed, holding a comic book in her hands.
The book's cover was vibrant and beautifully illustrated, and she was engrossed in reading it, a faint smile playing on her lips, and a slight blush rising to her cheeks.
Just as Lin Feng was about to ask her what she was looking at, another figure moved faster than him.
Xia Ning walked from the direction of the kitchen carrying a plate of freshly washed berries. The berries were still covered with water droplets and looked very appealing.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the comic book cover in Su Wan's hand, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes instantly lighting up...
