Meeting The Parents (1)

Hours passed as if it was seconds with the sun nearing the edge of the horizon.

Emerging from his cultivation, a sense of starvation struck Jiang Feng in his stomach as it rumbled. The noise woke up Ling who had been asleep all along, causing an awkward smile to appear on Jiang Feng's face.

"Looks like we've forgotten to eat lunch with me cultivating for such a long time. Do you want to eat out? It'll probably be dinner at this point, though."

"I'll eat whatever you give me."

"It's settled then, I'll call a cab for us."

…

Bringing Ling to a western restaurant, the two indulged in steaks while enjoying the relieving melodies being played.

Once they were done with the meals, they went back home on their separated ways, meeting up with each other again next morning.

Days would pass with Jiang Feng cultivating under the help of Ling, who would provide Jiang Feng with her spiritual energy, hastening his cultivation speed.

Jiang Feng's cultivation base also rose quickly under her guidance, reaching the peak of Qi Circulation middle stage, with the late stage of Qi Circulation being only half a step away.

Jiang Feng's parents also began noticing changes around their house, with Jiang Feng leaving without breakfast and reaching home late having already eaten dinner alone. Of course, they only assumed he was alone, but that didn't matter.

When asked by Aunt Lee, Jiang Feng would only reply saying he had work to do.

This puzzled the masters of the house as they tried asking him about it, but they didn't even had a chance to meet him with how early he left and how late he came home.

Jiang Feng, who was oblivious to all of this, continued to visit Ling everyday like he promised. His cultivation continued soaring as it reached the late stage of Qi Circulation, nearing a breakthrough to the next level.

Soon, two weeks passed as the day arrived.

"Ling, are you ready? The car is here already."

"Just give me a few more minutes. I'll be done with the makeup."

"Since when did you learn how to use a makeup? Also, where the heck did you even get them from?"

"I ordered them from online after seeing those posts where people make tutorials on using makeups. Can't lag behind the fashion world, can I?"

"…"

Walking out of her room, an hourglass figure stood before Jiang Feng as her hand held a branded bag bought by Jiang Feng.

Dressed in a full white dress and a straw hat that Jiang Feng thought suited her the most, Ling made a small spin for him and smiled.

"How do I look?"

Dumbfounded by how captivating Ling was, Jiang Feng could only stare at her face speechlessly. A flush of red slowly appeared on his face when he realized that he had been looking at her with his mouth agape, making him turned away in embarrassment as he replied.

"Perfect."

"That's good. Well then, let's get going. We shouldn't make our driver wait."

Leaving the hotel, the 'couple' walked towards the black limousine, where Uncle Chen had been waiting.

"Good morning, Young Master Feng. I suppose this lady here is your girlfriend that the masters mentioned."

Noticing Uncle Chen's attention shifting onto her, Ling have him a light smile as she greeted with a nod.

"Hello there, Uncle Chen. My name's Ou Yang Ling. Well, Ling for short, and yes I'm Feng's girlfriend." Ling replied as her smile widened, seemingly proud to announce her relationship with Jiang Feng.

Seeing how she was acting, Jiang Feng let out a sigh inwardly as he turned to the black limousine.

"It's rare seeing this car being drove out." Jiang Feng commented.

"Well, the masters were eager to see the lady that managed charm our young master, who was as dense as a brick. So, they ordered me to gave her the highest courtesy we could give."

"Enough chit chat. We should get going, Young Master Feng. The masters are waiting." Uncle Chen said as he eyed at the crowd gathering around them.

Nodding at his words, Jiang Feng decided to act gentleman and opened the door for Ling before entering the car himself.

"You first, my lady." Jiang feng teased.

"Well, thank you, my darling~" Ling teased back as she bend forward a little, whispering the last part of her sentence into Jiang Feng's ear.

Seeing how he immediately blushed with his face turning mild red, Ling chuckled to herself and got in.

Once Jiang Feng entered as well, Uncle Chen closed the door for him and moved to the driver's seat, driving away from the view of the crowds.

"Where are we headed to now?" Ling asked.

"To a private restaurant owned by Young Master Feng's parents. They are there waiting to meet the rumored girlfriend, Miss Ling." Uncle Chen said as he teased the 'couple'.

Seeing how the two became silent with their faces glowing with a light tinge of red, Uncle Chen laughed at his success and resumed to drive in silence.

Being on the road for more than half an hour or so, the car finally stopped in front of a luxurious building built from white tiles and bricks located in the wilderness, with only a few cars present in the parking lot

Being the butler he was, Uncle Chen opened the door for the 'couple' as they got off the car.

"I'll be waiting here. The masters are at the private room." Uncle Chen said.

"Got it. You can head back in first, Uncle Chen." Jiang Feng replied.

Nodding at his words, Uncle Chen left the two alone and sat back into the car. Jiang Feng took a deep breath as Ling turned to look at him with a smile.

"Are you nervous?" Ling asked.

"Of course I am. This is the first time I'm doing this, even though it's just an act for you to stay with me."

"An act? Aren't we officially a couple already?"

Teasing him with her words, Ling grabbed Jiang Feng's arms and circled her arms around it, bringing her face closer to his while shining with a bright smile.

"Like I've said before, I've waited for you for centuries. So are you going to let my expectations fall right now?" Ling continued as she whispered her words, her smile becoming alluring in the eyes of Jiang Feng.

Surrendering to her teasing, Jiang Feng let out a defeated sigh and smiled back at her.

"You're right. This isn't an act but the truth. We've been together in my past life, after all."

"Does this mean you recovered some of your memories?" Ling asked, noticing what he said in the end.

"Not yet, I'm only getting weird feeling of nostalgia from you every once in a while during the past two weeks." Jiang Feng replied with a shook of his head.

"That's enough for now. You'll regain those memories soon." Ling said as her smile bloomed.

With their hands still held together, the two walked into the restaurant, ready to face whatever challenge prepared for them.
