Chapter 72


    Chu Feng was surprised by the condition of the house. He had witnessed the grandeur of the


    mansion of Yun Family’s ancestral home. As part of the Yun Family, Chu Feng thought Yun


    Muqing’s parents—even if they could not afford a mansion as magnificent as the Yun Family’s


    ancestral home—would at least live in a much morefortable and finely decorated house located


    in some high-end districts such as the Second Ring Road of Beijing. What brings them to such


    degradation?


    “Surprised, aren’t you?” Yun Muqing noticed Chu Feng’s puzzlement. She sighed. “My grandfather


    had three sons. My eldest uncle is the General Manager of Yun Group. My youngest uncle is in the


    army. My father was initially in the management board of thepany. He was a very talented man


    with plenty of support from the family. But he suffered from high paraplegia due to a car ident ten


    years ago and lost his ability to walk. So, he had to relinquish all his positions in thepany. My


    eldest uncle took over all the projects and contracts that once belonged to my father. We were


    forced to live on the meagrepany share dividend. We had to sell our cars, houses and other


    valuables to pay for my father’s medical bills. And eventually, we be like this.”


    Chu Feng nodded in agreement. He said solemnly, “Poor Mr. Yun! What a difficult life he had! It


    must be hard for him to lose everything at the height of his career like this. I can’t imagine the pain


    he''s been through.”


    Yun Muqing nodded sadly. “Please don’t bring this up in front of my father, okay? I don’t want him to


    be upset,” she reminded Chu Feng.


    “Of course, my dear.” Chu Feng nodded and agreed with Yun Muqing, intimately addressing her as


    ‘my dear’.


    Yun Muqing blushed suddenly. She said crossly, “W-who are you calling ‘dear’ with? You shameless


    pervert!”


    But Chu Feng insisted, “Well, we need to put on a convincing act in front of your parents, needn’t


    we? I’m sure you don’t want them to know that we are a fake couple, do you? If they know we are


    acting, they will have more reasons to force you into a marriage.”


    Yun Muqing nodded thoughtfully; it sounded reasonable.

    “So, from now on, we must begin our acting,” Chu Feng chuckled while watching Yun Muqing’s


    beautiful face blushing with embarrassment. “Now, it’s your turn to call me ‘dear’.” Chu Feng had to


    admit that he had be pretty thick-skinned ever since he met Yun Muqing. Perhaps, this was


    the power of love?


    Yun Muqing stared angrily at Chu Feng for a moment before she blushed and stammered stiffly, “D-


    Dear”


    “I can’t hear you clearly. Can you repeat?” Chu Feng decided to tease Yun Muqing further.


    But the next moment, he sensed Yun Muqing’s threatening death stare and quickly fled the scene


    after picking up all the presents.


    Feeling annoyed and funny with Chu Feng’s childish demeanor, Yun Muqing stomped her feet


    angrily on the ground and shouted, “You moron!”


    Ten minutester, Chu Feng and Yun Muqing arrived in Yun Muqing’s parents’ house. It was a two-


    bedroom house about 80 square meters wide. The old interior decorations around the house looked


    stylish and sophisticated, which suggested the owner of the house was of prominent background.


    “Dad, Mum, I’m home.” Looking at the familiar interior of the house, Yun Muqing’s eyes reddened.


    She wrapped her arms around Chu Feng’s arm and introduced him to her parents. “This is Chu


    Feng, my boyfriend.”


    Yun Muqing blushed when she recalled the moment where she addressed Chu Feng as ‘dear’ just


    now. She still found it hard to address Chu Feng with such an intimate term after long consideration.


    While trying to act intimate and close with Chu Feng, Yun Muqing felt her heart pounding rapidly.


    She was worried that her parents might see through their act but luckily, Chu Feng was quite calm


    and good at acting.


    “Mr. Yun, Mrs. Yun, nice to meet you,” Chu Feng greeted politely.


    “Wee, you must be Feng. Muqing talked about you a lot. You are quite a handsomed, aren’t


    you?” Yun Muqing’s father, Yun Jiaming was in a wheelchair, reading the newspaper when he


    greeted Chu Feng warmly. Yun Jiaming wore a pair of gold-framed sses and his legs were


    covered by a piece of wool nket; he looked well-cultured and schrly like a college professor.


    Meanwhile, Yun Muqing’s mother, Li Fenn, was sitting on a couch. She was flipping through a


    luxury magazine in an idle manner when she saw Chu Feng and Yun Muqing enter the room. She


    greeted them with a simple ‘yeah’ without even looking at the pair. Li Fenn was in her early


    forties. She looked rather young and pretty for her age due to constant skincare and proper weight


    management. She bore an uncanny resemnce with Yun Muqing. However, Li Fenn looked


    less refinedpared to her daughter and there was an unusual flicker of cunningness in her sharp


    eyes.


    As soon as Chu Feng entered the room, Li Fenn had observed him quietly and carefully. The


    cheap clothes on him probably totaled to no more than five hundred in worth, and there were no


    expensive watches on his wrists, so of course there would be no BMW or Mercedes-Benz car keys


    hanging from his belt. He was obviously as poor as a church mouse! It would be such a disaster if


    Muqing married him!


    “Mum, Chu Feng bought you some of your favorite fruits.” Noticing Li Fenn’s impoliteness, Yun


    Muqing quickly presented the gifts to her parents. “And dad, here’s some wine for you. Chu Feng


    made them himself.”


    “Oh, Feng, that’s very kind of you! Thank you for the gifts,” Yun Jiaming thanked Chu Feng warmly.


    A broad smile crossed his face; he liked his future son-inw, Chu Feng very much.
