Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1297: Wang Xiaomin’s Pursuit

At this moment, the phone rang.

This was the first call Lin Zifeng received after turning on his phone upon returning to the country.

Moreover, his phone displayed several missed calls, which instantly made his scalp tingle, all from that little troublemaker named Wang Xiaomin.

During the days he spent in Fusang, his phone was mostly turned off, and since it was a Zhonghai local number, once he went abroad, there was naturally no signal, and calls couldn’t go through.

”Who is it?!”

Upon answering the call, Lin Zifeng’s tone was extremely cold. He knew perfectly well that it must be Wang Xiaomin on the other end, but given his current mood, he couldn’t muster any pleasantries.

”Is this Lin Zifeng?”

A delicate and refined voice came from the other end.

”Sorry, you’ve got the wrong number,” Lin Zifeng said indifferently.

”Wait a second! I didn’t dial the wrong number; this is indeed Lin Zifeng’s phone!”

Wang Xiaomin said with certainty.

”Then why are you asking who I am?”

Lin Zifeng felt this girl was being unnecessarily redundant.

If she already knew it was his number, why ask who he was?

”Haha... I was just asking. By the way, Lin Zifeng, why couldn’t I reach you these past few days? It always said unavailable, and I even thought your phone was out of credit, so I topped it up with a hundred bucks.”

”Thanks.”

Lin Zifeng remained cold. His mood was like mud in his trousers—whether it’s mud or not, it felt like shit. He had no interest in chatting with anyone, let alone with Wang Xiaomin, a woman he had a casual relationship with, without any genuine connection. Hence, he didn’t need to bother.

”Huh! How strange, you don’t seem to be in a good mood today.”

Wang Xiaomin found it odd. Although she’d only seen Lin Zifeng a few times, she judged people well. She felt Lin Zifeng wasn’t the kind of man with a cold exterior. Besides, would a man who appeared cold frequent nightclubs?

”Well, if there’s nothing else, I suggest we hang up. You’re a lady from a Chinese Medicine Family with plenty of time; you can play as you wish. I, however, don’t have time to accompany you. Sorry, I have things to do.”

With that, Lin Zifeng was ready to hang up.

He had been in Fusang in the morning and returned to Zhonghai by evening. This fast-paced escape left him feeling embarrassed, and he still hadn’t adjusted his mood.

He hadn’t even been home yet, so how could he have the time to chat idly with a woman?

”Hey, hey, hey! Don’t hang up on me just yet! I still have something to discuss with you.”

”Buzz, buzz, buzz...”

On the other end of the line, Lin Zifeng had already hung up. Continuing the conversation with a woman like that was bound to lead nowhere good.

She was a descendant of a Chinese Medicine Family, from a prestigious background, yet she went to nightclubs for fun and sought him out, a casual partner, to finish what wasn’t done that night. Lin Zifeng couldn’t and didn’t want to deal with that now. Besides, he had seen her in the hospital with a man, being very intimate.

Perhaps it was her boyfriend; Lin Zifeng generally didn’t like getting involved with such women.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zifeng suddenly felt a sense of relief. It turned out that hanging up on someone felt so good that if someone else called him in the future, hanging up on them twice might actually improve his mood.

Carrying a head full of mixed emotions, this was Lin Zifeng’s first return home after being away for so many days.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, after her call was so decisively hung up by Lin Zifeng, Wang Xiaomin wasn’t feeling good at all.

Previously, when she sought Lin Zifeng’s expertise in medicine, she was rejected. Over the subsequent days, she called him numerous times, only to find his phone turned off.

Today, when she called him again, he rudely hung up on her without any courtesy.

The gentlemanly demeanor from that night at the nightclub was instantly erased from Wang Xiaomin’s memory.

”What’s wrong, Xiaomin? You don’t seem to be in a good mood,”

At this moment, an elder dressed in a black Tang suit walked into the office from outside. He had just passed by Wang Xiaomin’s office and noticed her poor mood.

Turning back, he found her still mired in her earlier emotions, piquing his curiosity.

”Father, I’ve failed again.”

Wang Xiaomin glanced up at the elder. This elder was her father, hailed as the doyen of Zhonghai’s medical profession!

A half month ago, Wang Xiaomin had mentioned Lin Zifeng’s Medical Skill to her father.

Her words sparked his interest, and he genuinely wanted to meet the young and accomplished Lin Zifeng in person.

However, Lin Zifeng’s strong rejection left Wang Xiaomin feeling utterly defeated.

Not content, Wang Xiaomin thought this guy was unbelievably unreliable.

Even if they hadn’t become casual partners, at the very least, having met, what was the harm? She, as a young woman, wasn’t afraid or embarrassed, yet he seemed unappreciative.

This really infuriated Wang Xiaomin.

”What? Did you call him again just now?”

The elder asked, frowning.

He had heard of the legend surrounding that young man, said to be quite impressive, yet to the elder, given his youth, it made little difference whether they met or not.

Only a fool would use their warm face to touch someone’s cold behind.

Yet, his daughter, Wang Xiaomin, was that fool, repeatedly attempting to use her warm enthusiasm on someone indifferent.

From initial attraction, Wang Xiaomin’s curiosity about Lin Zifeng gradually turned to anger.

She was, after all, a descendant of a prestigious medical family, deserving some respect, wasn’t she? But what about him?

Instead of respect, he gave her cold-heartedness in spades.

”Yes.” Wang Xiaomin nodded.

Looking helplessly at her father.

”Silly girl, he’s just a young man who knows some medicine. Nowadays, who doesn’t know a bit about Chinese medicine? You should understand that many retired Special Soldiers know a few medical skills. Maybe you’ve misjudged him?”

”No, father, his healing abilities are truly amazing, and the effects were excellent. When I got injured, he used some skill I can’t explain, but he managed to heal all my internal injuries, greatly reducing my pain, stopping my bleeding, and in just two days, the wound was basically painless. This method of healing couldn’t possibly exist anywhere in the world.”

Wang Xiaomin was still unwilling to give up.
