Chapter 622 Courting Death? No, I Am Courting the Ice Beauty!

Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Courting Death? No, I Am Courting the Ice Beauty!

Hazel’s investigators were among the best money could hire.

In fact, she knew with absolute certainty that at least three security vehicles were discreetly following them at that very moment.

Her bodyguards monitored everything around her, and every conversation taking place inside the car was almost certainly being recorded for her protection.

That level of security wasn’t unusual.

As one of the country’s most successful film directors and producers, Hazel was constantly in the public eye.

Her wealth, fame, and influence naturally attracted unwanted attention, so maintaining a professional security detail had long since become part of her daily life.

Yet despite all their resources...

They had uncovered almost nothing about Lin Feng.

That, more than anything else, continued to puzzle her.

Hazel glanced at him once more through the rearview mirror before smiling helplessly.

"It seems," she admitted, "you’re still the biggest mystery I’ve ever tried to solve."

Lin Feng merely smiled without saying another word.

Some mysteries, after all, were far more enjoyable when they unfolded one Chapter at a time.

Thirty minutes later, Hazel’s luxury sedan pulled into the parking area of one of the city’s most prestigious restaurants.

The moment the car came to a stop, Lin Feng stepped out first.

Without the slightest hesitation, he walked around the vehicle and personally opened the doors for the two women.

"Thank you," Ning Xi said with a warm smile.

Hazel also smiled.

"Thank you."

The simple gesture left a favorable impression on both women.

Despite his mysterious background and extraordinary confidence, Lin Feng remained a true gentleman.

After all, a man without manners was nothing more than an animal in clothes... a wild, uncultured beast.

As the three began walking toward the restaurant entrance, Ning Xi naturally slipped beside Lin Feng and affectionately wrapped both hands around one of his arms.

Ever since Lin Feng had accepted her completely and acknowledged her as his woman, she had become much more open about expressing her affection.

Being close to him filled her with happiness, and she had no intention of hiding it.

Hazel noticed the intimate gesture and felt a small pang of jealousy.

After hesitating for only a moment, she quietly moved to Lin Feng’s other side.

She gently wrapped her arm around his free arm, imitating Ning Xi.

One luscious breast pressed firmly against Lin Feng’s solid, powerful arm.

The unexpected closeness immediately caused her heart to race.

Her face grew slightly warm, and she instinctively pressed a little closer without even realizing it.

"Hmm..."

A soft sound escaped her lips before she quickly composed herself.

It was the first time in her life she had been so physically close to a man, and the unfamiliar feeling left her both excited and embarrassed.

Why is my heart beating so fast...?

Hazel wondered inwardly.

Just walking beside him is making me nervous...

Lin Feng simply smiled to himself. One woman held his left arm. The other held his right.

Together, the three of them walked into the restaurant.

The luxurious establishment, which had been filled with the sounds of conversation only moments earlier, gradually fell silent.

Dozens of diners turned toward the entrance. Some looked out of curiosity.

Others stared in amazement.

Whispers soon spread throughout the dining hall.

"Who are they?"

"That man is unbelievably handsome."

"I’ve never seen someone with such an extraordinary presence."

"And look at the women beside him."

"They’re both stunning."

"He’s incredibly lucky."

Another customer narrowed his eyes before suddenly exclaiming,

"Wait..."

"That woman looks familiar."

A few others looked more carefully.

"...Isn’t that Hazel Reed?"

"The famous director?"

"It really is her!"

"No way!"

"What is Hazel Reed doing here with that man?"

"And they’re walking arm in arm..."

"Could they be dating?"

"This is huge!"

Phones quietly appeared beneath several tables as curious diners discreetly tried to take pictures.

Within moments, the mysterious handsome man accompanying the renowned director had become the center of attention throughout the entire restaurant.

"Looks like you’re quite popular, Hazel," Lin Feng remarked with an amused smile as he noticed the curious stares from the surrounding diners.

Hazel let out a helpless sigh.

"Give it until tomorrow," she replied. "I’m willing to bet that your face and Ning Xi’s will be all over social media."

She could already imagine the headlines.

Who Is the Mystery Man Beside Hazel Reed?

Famous Director Seen Dining with Two Stunning Companions.

Hazel Reed’s First Romance?

As a public figure, she had grown accustomed to gossip, but that didn’t mean she enjoyed it.

By tomorrow morning, countless entertainment websites would probably be inventing stories about the three of them.

The thought alone gave her a slight headache.

Lin Feng, however, remained completely indifferent.

"It doesn’t matter."

He casually opened the menu.

"People have to make a living."

"If taking a few photographs helps them earn their paycheck, I don’t mind."

"So long as they don’t cross the line, a few pictures won’t hurt anyone."

Hazel looked at him in surprise.

"You really don’t care what people say about you?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

"I’ve learned that no matter what you do, people will always have something to say."

"If you try to satisfy everyone..."

"...you’ll spend your entire life exhausting yourself."

"So I’d rather just live the way I want."

Hazel silently nodded.

For some reason, those simple words resonated with her.

A waiter soon arrived to take their orders.

Lin Feng ordered several signature dishes without even glancing at the prices.

Ning Xi enthusiastically picked out a few dishes she found interesting, while Hazel added several recommendations she knew the restaurant was famous for.

Before long, the enormous dining table was covered with exquisite food.

Steaming seafood. Perfectly grilled steaks. Fresh sashimi. Rare delicacies.

Elegant desserts. And several bottles of premium drinks.

The aroma alone was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

The three chatted casually as they ate, laughing from time to time.

To an outsider, they looked less like strangers and more like close friends enjoying a peaceful evening together.

Meanwhile...

Outside the restaurant...

Several men dressed in black stood beside two luxury SUVs parked across the street.

Their attention never left the restaurant entrance.

One of them lowered the binoculars he had been using.

"Are you sure that’s the man?"
