The instant those words left his mouth, Bibi Dong felt as if she had been struck by heavenly lightning.
Her mind buzzed—completely blank.
Tired of it?
Not coming anymore?
No.
If she couldn't eat Lin Feng's cooking again… then what meaning would her life even have?
She would collapse.
She would break down.
She would absolutely go insane.
"No… no, it's not like that!"
Bibi Dong suddenly looked up.
Her noble amethyst eyes, once cold and aloof, were now filled with sheer panic—like a small animal about to be abandoned.
"Senior, I—"
She desperately wanted to explain.
To justify herself.
To tell him how obsessed she was with his food, how much she worshipped every dish, how deeply she admired him.
But before she could utter the next word—
Lin Feng raised his hand.
Expressionless.
A gesture that cut off everything she wanted to say.
"You don't need to explain."
"I don't want excuses."
"You broke the rules. You accept punishment."
Punishment.
This single word made Bibi Dong's heart squeeze painfully tight.
She didn't fear injury.
She didn't fear losing money.
She feared only one thing—
losing the meals that gave her a reason to keep living.
Cold bitterness flooded her heart.
She lowered her gaze, long lashes trembling violently.
Inwardly, she prayed.
As long as the punishment doesn't touch my meals… anything else is fine.
But fate loved cruelty.
Lin Feng looked at her pale face, at her pleading eyes overflowing with helplessness—and remained unmoved.
Her punishment…
was not pain.
Not gold.
It struck at her greatest weakness.
"According to the shop rules, with the severity of your behavior, you should be permanently blacklisted—never allowed to enter again."
BOOM.
The words were like a divine thunder exploding inside her skull.
Blacklisted?
Never allowed to return?
All color drained instantly from Bibi Dong's face.
Her world spun.
Her chest tightened.
Her knees weakened.
She staggered, nearly collapsing, barely steadying herself by grabbing the corner of a nearby table.
It felt like death.
Like losing everything precious in her world.
And behind Lin Feng—
Zhu Zhuyun's seductive eyes widened, exploding with unrestrained joy.
Her lips curled upward.
Blacklist her!
Black! List! Her!
If this woman was expelled, then the competition would finally be—
But Lin Feng didn't finish.
He sighed inwardly.
After all… she was the shop's only VIP.
The woman who had donated a mountain of wealth for his system upgrade.
His emotions—and his logic—both held the slightest bias.
So he continued, tone cool and calm.
"However, considering you are currently the only VIP customer…"
Zhu Zhuyun's jubilant smile froze like cracked porcelain.
Bibi Dong, on the verge of fainting, felt a tiny spark of hope.
Lin Feng remained expressionless.
"Your punishment is modified. Your monthly service will be suspended."
"Starting today, your privilege of three meals a day is revoked."
"It will resume only once you sincerely recognize your mistakes."
Although this was merely a return to the previous one-meal-a-day torment…
For Bibi Dong, it was devastating.
She had just obtained this paradise-like privilege.
A miracle that belonged to her alone.
And now—because of Qian Renxue… because of that "bastard's" words—she lost control and crushed her own happiness.
"Yes… Senior…"
Her voice trembled.
Tears finally spilled down her cheeks.
Bibi Dong slowly lifted her head, her amethyst eyes reddened, looking toward Qian Renxue one last time.
The look contained no killing intent this time.
No fury.
Only grief.
Only despair.
Only heartbreak.
"Why…"
Her voice cracked softly.
"Why do you Qian family people always want to destroy me?"
"Why must you always block me… from reaching happiness?"
Her voice was like a dull blade slicing into Qian Renxue's chest.
That mournful question echoed over and over in her mind.
Qian Renxue felt her heart jolt painfully.
But before she could process the unfamiliar disquiet rising inside her—
Bibi Dong released the table.
She wiped her tears roughly with the back of her hand, but they kept falling.
Covering her mouth to muffle sobs, she turned.
She didn't look at anyone.
She didn't try to argue.
She stumbled out the door like a soul that had lost its last refuge.
Leaving behind all dignity.
All pride.
In this tiny restaurant.
Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena didn't dare breathe.
The air felt frozen.
Lin Feng stood calmly, face unreadable.
Qian Renxue remained rooted where she sat, staring at the door.
Her heart echoed with Bibi Dong's words.
"Why do you Qian family members always want to destroy me?"
"Always want to stop me… from running towards happiness?"
"Qian… family?"
She included Qian Renxue in that category.
But excluded herself entirely.
Did she truly think… they were enemies?
That there was no mother-daughter bond at all?
Why?
Why did she hate this "family" so deeply?
What exactly happened?
For the first time in her life, Qian Renxue felt truly lost.
Truly shaken.
And just as confusion swallowed her—
She felt a cold gaze fall on her.
She stiffened.
Slowly, she looked up.
Lin Feng was looking directly at her—indifferent, fathomless.
And he spoke:
"Now…"
"…it's time to discuss your problem."
