Chapter 28

I conducted a small survey, please help me choose, thanks, I'm really in a dilemma.

...

Yoo Ri said with some disdain, "Look at your empty hands, you’re being too insincere. Treating us to a meal would be enough."

Her words immediately made Xu Xian’s face turn red, and she raised her fist and waved it.

Ji Feng smiled and said, "I promise everyone will get something. Well, I guess none of you can guess what it is, so let me perform a magic trick for you. Please watch closely."

Hearing that Ji Feng was going to perform a magic trick, Lin Yuer couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, "Please, don’t try to fool us with something that only kids would believe."

Ji Feng chuckled and shook his head, but didn’t explain. He just asked everyone to watch again, then rolled up his sleeves, placed his palms together as if holding something, and seeing Xu Xian’s curious face, he brought it to her and smiled, "Xiao Xian, blow a breath of fairy air."

Seeing Ji Feng’s playful expression, Xu Xian’s heart raced again as she gently blew on Ji Feng’s hands.

Ji Feng coughed and smiled, "Everyone, don’t blink. The next moment will be a miracle."

At this point, not just the nine of them, but even the makeup artists and assistants who were helping them were curious to see what Ji Feng could pull off. After all, Ji Feng was wearing a simple, not very thick casual outfit, and there were no bulges where he could hide anything.

Ji Feng smiled and suddenly spread his hands wide, revealing a teddy bear over a meter tall in his hands.

The sudden appearance of the teddy bear, even though it was just a toy, shocked everyone. If it had been a small one, it might have been possible, but a teddy bear over 1.2 meters tall was clearly impossible for Ji Feng to hide.

Seeing everyone’s surprised and open mouths, even Sica, who always had a cold expression, was the same. Ji Feng felt a sense of pride, glad that he had bought these things while shopping, thinking of giving them to friends whose little girls liked them, and even many adult women enjoyed them.

Sica was the first to jump up, tugging at Ji Feng’s clothes and searching all over him, saying curiously, "How did you hide it? Teach me, this is so much fun, no one has ever pulled out such a big toy before."

Ji Feng laughed and, seeing everyone’s amazed faces, said, "This is my secret, I won’t tell anyone. I said everyone would get a gift, I don’t know who likes this one, so you can decide among yourselves."

The few of them smiled, understanding what Ji Feng meant, and all looked at Xu Xian, making her feel awkward and unsure of what to do. She hadn’t expected Ji Feng to pull out such a big toy. Well, she actually liked it, but she felt a bit embarrassed to accept it in front of the others.

Seeing Xu Xian’s dilemma, Ji Feng’s lips curved into a smile, and he “pulled out” another teddy bear, one by one. Although they were different, when the nine teddy bears were placed in front of the nine of them, they were completely stunned.

After all, these nine toys could bury Ji Feng, yet he had come in with empty hands. How did he pull them out? This was what everyone was thinking.

However, everyone knew that Ji Feng wouldn’t tell them, and after a moment of surprise, they happily grabbed the teddy bears they liked.

Seeing the sisters’ happy faces, Xu Xian hugged the first bear and smiled at Ji Feng, "Thank you, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble."

Ji Feng looked at Xu Xian with affection and gently shook his head, softly saying, "Anything for you is worth it."

Xu Xian’s heart raced, her breathing quickened, and she felt a bit at a loss. She hadn’t expected Ji Feng to say such things. Why did her heart feel so sweet? Was he confessing? What should she do? How should she respond? Although she didn’t dislike him, she admitted to herself that she liked him a little, but it was more out of curiosity. Besides, the company strictly forbade artists from dating.

In the end, not knowing how to respond, Xu Xian lightly coughed and turned to talk to her companions, pretending not to have heard.

Seeing that Xu Xian was ignoring him, Ji Feng was somewhat amused and frustrated, thinking he might have been too direct, but he wouldn’t give up.

After leaving the TV station, the company’s minivan picked them up, and Xu Xian, with the sisters’ encouragement, got into Ji Feng’s Mercedes. Although she knew it wasn’t his, the girls were all knowledgeable and had seen his watch during the magic trick. A man who could wear a Patek Philippe watch could easily afford a Mercedes.

The girls couldn’t help but envy Xu Xian’s luck, being chosen by such a wealthy and handsome man. They didn’t know when they would be able to afford a big Mercedes.

In the car, Xu Xian sat in the back seat, hugging the big teddy bear and placing it between her and Ji Feng, gently stroking its soft fur. She thought for a moment and said, "Ji Feng, how long do you plan to stay in Korea?"

Ji Feng looked at Xu Xian, who seemed a bit uncomfortable, and smiled gently, "I haven’t decided. I came here for you, and I won’t leave until I get your answer."

Xu Xian hadn’t expected Ji Feng to be so direct. She opened her mouth in surprise, her cheeks instantly turning a bright red, her heart racing. Although she wanted to say “don’t refuse,” she didn’t know what to say. "I feel it’s too fast, and I don’t know you well enough."

Seeing her response, Ji Feng immediately became serious, "Xiao Xian, I don’t want to deceive my feelings or you. I’ve recently realized that I like you. I can’t bear to be without you, and hearing your voice is the happiest time of my day. I always look forward to being with you, even if it’s just quietly watching you. Please give me a chance, and give yourself a chance to get to know me better. Believe me, I’m serious. I’m certain I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Hearing Ji Feng’s sincere and heartfelt confession, Xu Xian was moved, but she still had her concerns. She had a well-planned life and hadn’t thought about dating at this time. While many men pursued her, Ji Feng was the one who had touched her the most.

However, the thought of their different nationalities, cultural backgrounds, and living habits made her hesitate. But deep down, she didn’t want to refuse. In the face of true love, those issues weren’t problems.

Xu Xian’s heart raced uncontrollably, and she found it hard to speak. After a long pause, she said, "But we have so many differences. I’m Korean, you’re Chinese, and you’re also Swiss. Our cultures, languages, and living habits are different. I don’t know why you like me, and the company definitely won’t allow artists to date."

Ji Feng continued, "Actually, these aren’t problems. I have dual citizenship, but I’m willing to settle in Jeju Island for you. We can adapt to the differences over time, and I’m confident in my ability to adapt. With the motivation of love, it will be even faster and more lasting. As for your company, don’t worry, I’ll talk to your CEO. I’m sure he’ll give me some face."

Ji Feng didn’t want to miss this opportunity. The girls were usually so busy that Ji Feng felt a bit heartbroken. The next chance might not come for a long time. He knew their income was pitifully low, with most of their earnings going to the company, leaving them with a small share to split among the nine of them.

Ji Feng couldn’t directly support her financially, but if she were his girlfriend, he could spend money on her without her feeling guilty. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t accept his help. He didn’t know why, but he couldn’t bear to see the people he liked suffer.

Even though Xu Xian’s family wasn’t poor, they weren’t wealthy either. Ji Feng understood why a Louis Vuitton bag had been a big deal for her in Jeju Island, even though she was a celebrity. It might have been a special gift from someone.

Xu Xian lightly bit her lip and said shyly, "Can I think about it? This is too sudden, and I haven’t thought about it."

Ji Feng felt a surge of excitement. As long as she didn’t refuse, he still had a good chance. He smiled, "Of course. I’ll go talk to your company first. Even if you don’t accept, I don’t want to see you so tired. I’ve learned that many Korean artists have slave contracts, especially at S.M. Your contracts don’t match your fame."

Xu Xian nodded slightly and took a deep breath, feeling both relieved that Ji Feng wasn’t pushing her and a bit disappointed.

However, she was grateful to Ji Feng for giving her time to think. His sudden confession had put her in a difficult position, and she hadn’t considered this before.

After arriving at a familiar Korean barbecue restaurant, Ji Feng treated the girls to a good meal. Seeing that they were all tired, he declined the others’ teasing and let Xu Xian go back to rest with them. He didn’t want to exhaust her, seeing her obviously sleep-deprived, which made his heart ache. This poor girl must not get enough sleep.
