Chapter 147 - 147 147 Chief Chen's Solemn Promise

147: Chapter 147 Chief Chen’s Solemn Promise 147: Chapter 147 Chief Chen’s Solemn Promise In Zhonghai, Lin Fei, carrying a hefty amount of fruit, vegetables, and various bags, appeared with Chen Qi, who clung to his arm looking as demure as a chick leaning on a person, beneath the apartment building where Chen Qi’s retired parents lived.

“Lin Fei, we’re about to meet my parents.

You absolutely must not blow our cover.

If I can’t get past my parents, don’t think you’re going to have an easy time either,” Chen Qi, whose face showed a slight blush from Lin Fei taking liberties with her during the journey and whose sexy and explosive figure felt a bit numb, pinched Lin Fei hard as a warning.

“You should be more worried about yourself,” Lin Fei, with hands full of fruit and vegetables and thus unable to continue appreciating Chen Qi’s proportions, replied quite displeased.

“I’ll do my best to cooperate with you,” Chen Qi obviously had some self-awareness as a rare trace of embarrassment flickered across her pretty eyes.

Upon reaching the fifth floor and stopping in front of her own door, Chen Qi took a deep breath as if facing a great enemy, a streak of determination flashed in her eyes.

The woman grabbed Lin Fei, who was about to press the doorbell, drew close to his ear, and whispered softly, “Do you still remember what you did to me in the car last time?”

“What are you trying to do?!” With Chen Qi bringing up the past right at her own doorstep, Lin Fei became instantly alert and instinctively wanted to keep his distance from her.

“Cut the crap.

I will never forget what you did to me that day,” Chen Qi obviously didn’t believe that Lin Fei had forgotten about their intimate moment in the Ferrari.

She clenched her fist tight and pinched Lin Fei fiercely, looking desperate.

“As long as you play your part well and convince my parents, I might just do it again for you.”

“Do what?” Lin Fei didn’t catch on for a moment, wondering what Chen Qi meant.

It wasn’t his fault for being slow; it was just that Chen Qi’s words were too abrupt.

“You idiot, what are you playing dumb for?!” Chen Qi had finally plucked up the courage to offer Lin Fei this great temptation, only to see not excitement but wariness on his face instead, which enraged Chief Chen on the spot.

If it were not for the fact that they were in front of her own door and had to put on an act for her parents soon, Chen Qi might have already struck out.

Well, to be precise, it would have been a kick aimed at a certain part of Lin Fei’s body, as a reminder.

Seeing the cold glint in Chen Qi’s charming eyes continually sweeping over his lower regions, Lin Fei instantly realized what she meant.

“What kind of person do you take me for?!” Lin Fei suddenly bellowed, glaring at Chen Qi, “I’m helping you purely out of the friendship between us, out of loyalty!

To hear you say such things, I am truly disappointed!”

Lin Fei’s outburst left Chen Qi completely dumbfounded.

Chen Qi had forsaken her principles and humility to make such a solemn promise to Lin Fei because her mother had nearly driven her mad.

Ever since her boss, who was also her father’s comrade-in-arms and the Deputy Director of the Zhonghai Police Department, Xie Songqing, mistook Lin Fei as her boyfriend and notified Chen Qi’s father, Chen Qi hadn’t had a moment of peace.

Her mother called almost every day, demanding that Chen Qi bring Lin Fei home for her to meet.

If not for being pushed to the brink by her mother, Chen Qi certainly would not have stooped so low as to beg Lin Fei to pretend to be her boyfriend.

This was precisely why, in order to stop her mother’s constant harassment, Chen Qi was willing to abandon her modesty and principles and make such a weighty promise to Lin Fei.

In Chen Qi’s opinion, given Lin Fei’s personality, even if he wouldn’t be overjoyed, he certainly wouldn’t refuse her.

Most likely, under her earnest promise, he would perform as if his life depended on it, thus solving her problem with Chief Chen being harassed by his own mother.

She had never expected Lin Fei’s reaction to be so intense.

Seeing the look of disgust on Lin Fei’s face, Chen Qi felt an unusual twinge of shame.

Just when Chen Qi was thinking that she might have really misunderstood Lin Fei because of past events and was considering apologizing to him,

Lin Fei’s expression suddenly changed from righteous indignation to a sleazy grin as he leaned closer to Chen Qi, “That being said, now that you’ve put it that way, it’d be rude of me to refuse.

Just make sure you brush your teeth regularly these next few days, and when it comes to that kind of thing, I prefer doing it without clothes.”

The abruptness of Lin Fei’s transformation was such that Chen Qi’s brain couldn’t even react in time.

She stood there frozen, staring at Lin Fei’s lower body without moving an inch, like a statue.

“Hey, you’re not planning on doing it now, are you?” Lin Fei implored with some patience, seeing Chen Qi staring dumbfounded at his lower body.

“Qi Qi, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you really shouldn’t be thinking like this.

Even though I know you’re rather desperate right now, this is still right in front of your parents’ house.

What if they came out and saw us?

Be good and be patient.

Once we’ve dealt with your parents, I’ll give you a chance.”

Pfft!

Chen Qi, who had just come back to her senses, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Her pretty, oval face turned from red to white to blue in two seconds flat, colors changing back and forth several times in quick succession.

She, Chief Chen, was merely slow to react, okay?

If others heard what Lin Fei just said, who knows what kind of slut they would think she, Chen Qi, was.

“Lin Fei, I’m going to kill you—”

Chen Qi, spurred by Lin Fei’s words into a frantic rage, no longer cared about boyfriends or acting.

The only thought in Chen Qi’s mind was to tear apart that shameless mouth of Lin Fei and smash his private parts.

Unfortunately, she didn’t get the chance.

Because the door opened.

The man who opened the door was in his forties, “What are you doing standing at the door, girl?

This is—”

Upon seeing the man’s face, which bore a faint resemblance to Chen Qi, Lin Fei immediately stopped paying attention to Chen Qi and hurriedly smiled as he introduced himself, “Auntie, hello, I’m Qi Qi’s boyfriend, Lin Fei.

Auntie, you’ve come out at just the right time.

If you had come out a few seconds later, Qi Qi might have really chased me away.”

With that, Lin Fei cleverly explained away the awkward situation of Chen Qi wanting to hit him.

Despite her extreme reluctance and myriad objections, Chen Qi clearly had no option but to stop at that point.

“I’ve heard about you long ago.

This girl has always been as temperamental as her father.

Lin Fei, don’t take it to heart,” she said, smiling while sizing up Lin Fei from head to toe, then turned and glanced irritably at Chen Qi, “What are you still standing there for, you silly girl?

Quick, invite Lin Fei inside.”

After speaking, it was Chen Qi’s mother who walked into the house first, “Old man, your daughter has brought home a boyfriend, hurry up and come out.”

With her own mother talking like that, Chen Qi had no choice but to suppress the frustration in her stomach, took the initiative to hook her arm through Lin Fei’s, and entered the house together.
