Chapter 473 She Stared into My Eyes for Three Minutes and I Was Trying to Figure Out If She Owed Me Money
A few possessed decent appearances, but their personalities were unbearable after only a few conversations.
Yet Lin Feng...
Just standing there quietly without doing anything already made the entire place revolve around him naturally.
Li Mengyao could not even imagine what kind of woman would be capable of resisting a man like this for long.
Worse still, Lin Feng did not seem aware of how dangerous he truly was. His calmness and gentleness only made him even more irresistible.
Li Mengyao suddenly had a frightening feeling that after today, no other man in existence would ever be able to move her heart again.
The standards in her mind had already been raised to a completely unreasonable height.
Still, she forcefully pushed aside those dangerous thoughts. She had not come here merely to admire Lin Feng’s appearance.
There was something important she needed to know.
Something that had been weighing heavily on her mind ever since hearing the truth surrounding her mother and Lin Feng.
Li Mengyao quietly took a deep breath.
Her fingers unconsciously tightened slightly beneath her sleeves before she gently cleared her throat.
"Master Lin Feng... I..."
The words nearly became stuck in her throat again.
Even now, speaking directly while facing Lin Feng required tremendous courage.
His eyes were calm and profound, carrying a strange warmth that made people instinctively lower their guard before him.
It almost felt as though he could see through every emotion hidden within her heart. For a split second, Li Mengyao nearly lost the courage to continue.
But eventually, she steadied herself.
"I heard that you and my mother are lovers," Li Mengyao finally said softly. "Is that true?" Her voice became quieter toward the end.
Then, after a brief pause, she looked directly into Lin Feng’s eyes with a seriousness she had not shown until now.
"Do you truly love her? My mother... Li Yuhua?" The area instantly became quiet once more. Even the atmosphere seemed to slow down.
Li Mengyao’s gaze remained fixed firmly upon Lin Feng.
Although her face was still faintly red and although her heart still beat wildly from merely being near him, she suppressed all those distracting emotions with effort.
This was the real reason she had come today. She needed to hear the answer personally from Lin Feng himself.
Because someone like him was simply too extraordinary.
A man of Lin Feng’s caliber could easily have countless women throughout the heavens pursuing him willingly.
Powerful clan daughters, holy maidens, empresses, fairy like geniuses and any one of them would likely fall for him after enough interaction.
Li Mengyao needed reassurance.
She needed to know whether her mother truly held a special place in his heart or whether she was merely another passing beauty in the life of an overwhelmingly exceptional man.
For a few moments, Lin Feng did not immediately answer. He simply stood there calmly.
Yet strangely enough, the silence did not feel awkward this time. Instead, it carried a heavy and thoughtful atmosphere.
Then, the moment Li Yuhua’s name lingered in the air, something subtle changed within Lin Feng’s expression. His eyes softened.
The change was incredibly small, almost impossible to notice unless one was paying close attention. Yet Li Mengyao still caught it immediately.
And that tiny reaction alone already caused her heart to tremble slightly. Finally, Lin Feng spoke.
"Love?" he repeated quietly. A faint smile appeared upon his face. It was not the smile of someone amused or arrogant.
Rather, it was the smile of a man thinking about someone precious beyond words.
"I do love her," Lin Feng said softly. His voice remained calm and steady, yet every syllable carried indescribable sincerity.
"But..."
Lin Feng slightly lifted his gaze, as though trying to find the right words.
"The word love itself is far too small to fully describe what I feel for your mother."
Li Mengyao’s breath unconsciously stopped for a moment. Lin Feng’s voice carried no exaggeration whatsoever.
There was no attempt to sound impressive. No false passion. No dramatic display. Precisely because of that, his words felt even more genuine.
Then Lin Feng continued.
"If it were possible," he said slowly, "I would gather every beautiful thing that exists within this world and forge them into gifts for Li Yuhua."
His eyes became distant for a brief moment.
"The stars above the heavens. The rarest treasures hidden within ancient realms. The greatest miracles born from countless eras. If any of those things could make her smile even slightly..."
Lin Feng gave a faint chuckle.
"...then I would gladly place them all before her feet without the slightest hesitation."
Boom.
Li Mengyao felt as though her entire mind had exploded. Her beautiful eyes widened completely in shock.
For several seconds, she could not even process what she had just heard.
Poetic.
Too poetic.
Too sincere.
Too devastating.
Li Mengyao had heard countless men speak romantic words before, but compared to Lin Feng, all of them now sounded unbearably shallow and childish.
Because Lin Feng’s words did not feel rehearsed. They came naturally from the depths of his heart.
Even more frighteningly, his expression remained calm the entire time, as though such overwhelming devotion was merely common sense to him.
Li Mengyao’s heart trembled violently. At that moment, every remaining doubt within her disappeared completely.
Lin Feng truly loved her mother. No, perhaps love itself was indeed too small a word for what he felt.
Li Mengyao could clearly sense that if Li Yuhua ever encountered danger, Lin Feng would probably overturn the heavens themselves without hesitation.
Her breathing became slightly uneven.
"What kind of man is this...?" she thought blankly.
Not only was he impossibly handsome and wise beyond measure, but he was also terrifyingly romantic.
Any woman who heard such words would likely be unable to sleep peacefully ever again. Li Mengyao suddenly understood everything.
She finally understood why her mother had fallen for him.
The truly frightening thing was that after spending only this short amount of time with Lin Feng, even Li Mengyao herself was beginning to understand how dangerous it was to remain near him for too long.
A man like Lin Feng was capable of conquering hearts without even trying!
