Chapter 223: Chapter 144 Helping Girlfriend Find a Partner_2Chen Feng’s recent words really irritated Lin Yujiao. What did he mean by "sort of girlfriend"? What did he mean by "wait until we break up"? And even more outrageous was asking Qin Zhen to help her find a husband. "I’m not talking nonsense," Chen Feng said earnestly to Lin Yujiao, "We agreed before. If you find the right person, we’d break up. But your taste in men is really not that great, so, I want Ah Zhen to check them out for you. After all, he’s a police officer and can investigate someone easily. You understand what I mean, right?" With that explanation, Lin Yujiao understood and felt a mix of being moved and more lost than ever. To be honest, she was actually quite satisfied with Chen Feng. It wasn’t about whether he was wealthy or not; just his character and appearance fully met her standards for a partner. However, Chen Feng had made it clear from the start that he was all kidney and no heart with her, treating her quite well but without any intention of marrying her. "So, that’s what it’s about. I thought you wanted me to set her up with someone," Qin Zhen laughed, "I’ve never set anyone up before, especially not women." Chen Feng said, "Never done before doesn’t mean you can’t try in the future. You could ask your family to keep an eye out. Yu Jiao used to run a store in the county seat and lived there for many years. She just moved to Qingpu Town a few months ago after getting divorced, and opened a clothing store. She’ll be twenty-eight after the new year, with no children." Qin Zhen was speechless as he looked at Chen Feng, finally admitting with reluctant admiration, "Bro, you’re really generous. I definitely couldn’t do this—setting up a still not yet ex-girlfriend with someone else, hats off to you." Chen Feng corrected with a laugh, "I said to introduce her after we break up, not now. We haven’t broken up yet." "Got it. Let me know when you guys break up in the future, I’ll ask my mom to keep an eye out. With Yu Jiao’s looks and no children, honestly, it should be easy to find a decent match." Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but retort, "Enough from both of you. I’m still here. If I really need to find someone in the future, I can do it myself. You don’t need to worry or help." Chen Feng earnestly said, "Even if you find someone yourself, let me and Ah Zhen check him out for you. Otherwise, getting conned could be disastrous." Lin Yujiao glared at him fiercely and stopped listening to him, returning her attention to her food. Wu Mengting suddenly interjected in the local dialect, "Brother, you are really worrying over nothing. Yu Jiao has such good prospects; what kind of man can’t she find? Do you really need to be like this? You should rather worry about where your own wife is." Qin Zhen laughed, "Mengyao is right. Fengzi, you should focus on your own marriage. Your situation isn’t bad either and you have money; finding someone better than your ex-wife shouldn’t be hard. After the new year, you’ll be thirty years old. If you aren’t worried, your family surely is." Chen Feng glanced at him annoyed, "As if you’re so young yourself. When do you plan to get married?" Qin Zhen suddenly found himself at a loss for words. "What are you guys talking about?" Ning Wei, not understanding the local dialect, looked rather displeased at Qin Zhen. "Nothing much, just talking," Qin Zhen obviously didn’t want to divulge the private matters of Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao, so he gave a perfunctory response. Afterward, Wu Mengting didn’t exclude Lin Yujiao anymore and pulled her to chat with Ning Wei about celebrity gossip and fashion, finally giving Lin Yujiao topics to engage in. The five of them ate and drank for over an hour, and everyone was quite full, so they left the buffet. Chen Feng had initially planned for everyone to go sing karaoke together, but Qin Zhen said he had just returned home that day and must go back early to check in with his parents, and suggested they hang out another day. After splitting up with Qin Zhen and Ning Wei, Chen Feng checked the time—it was just after eight pm, too early to head back. Thus, the plan to sing karaoke continued. Wu Mengting and Lin Yujiao had no objections. Generally, women love to sing, and they were no exception. They came back to the same KTV they had visited before. Because it was peak evening time, the place was packed; even the small and medium-sized rooms were full, so Chen Feng opted for a large room. The large room was indeed different, quite spacious, but with only the three of them, the atmosphere felt lacking due to the expanse of space. Nevertheless, since they had already paid, they definitely wanted to enjoy themselves. This time Chen Feng started with a soul-stirring "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven". The beginning was fine, but unfortunately, he flubbed the high notes later on, breaking his voice and causing the two women to burst out in uncontrollable laughter. Chen Feng was used to this and not embarrassed at all. After the chorus and as soon as the second verse began, it was slightly better, but he broke the high notes again, prompting another round of laughter from the women. Finally finishing the song, Chen Feng looked at the two women speechlessly, holding the microphone and said, "Can you give me a bit of face? Laughing like that is making me embarrassed, don’t you know?" Wu Mengting covered her mouth, chuckled, and trying to catch her breath said, "Are you embarrassed? I didn’t notice that at all." Lin Yujiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, when I came here with him last time, his singing was off-key, but he didn’t seem embarrassed at all, his skin is really thick." "Ah, you guys have been here before?" Wu Mengting squinted slightly. "We have. It was just the other day when I first met him." "Oh..." "Alright, it’s your turn to sing now. Mengting, you go first." "Okay, I’ll start." Wu Mengting stood up, took the microphone from Chen Feng, and chose her favorite song "Courage," singing it smoothly. This song wasn’t very difficult and was widely-known, almost everyone had heard it, but that also made it hard to sing with emotion and impress the listeners, since everyone was so familiar with it. However, Wu Mengting sang it with considerable appeal—at least Chen Feng thought so. Especially the chorus, which she sang with deep emotion. "True love needs courage to face the slanders, just one affirming glance from you gives my love meaning..." As she sang "Courage," she gazed tenderly at Chen Feng, making him feel quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, the song finally ended. Chen Feng quickly applauded and cheered, and then it was Lin Yujiao’s turn. Lin Yujiao sang a recently popular old song "Miss You." The song was undoubtedly challenging, but Lin Yujiao performed it effortlessly, impressing both Chen Feng and Wu Mengting to the point of applauding and cheering. After that, Chen Feng didn’t go up to sing again. The two women took turns, and later even sang a duet together. Meanwhile, Chen Feng was responsible for cheering them on until he received a WeChat message from Guo Mengyao, asking if he was still in the city. He replied that he was at the KTV singing. Then, Guo Mengyao mentioned she was also nearby and wanted to join them for some karaoke, asking if she could come. Although Chen Feng was somewhat reluctant, he couldn’t refuse and gave her the address and room number. After the two women finished their song, Chen Feng informed them about it. Both women didn’t say anything, but their expressions clearly showed they were not too keen on having another person join. Since Chen Feng couldn’t refuse, they couldn’t object either. For the moment, they stopped singing, sat down together, and started eating snacks and drinking beverages. Guo Mengyao really was nearby, and it took her less than ten minutes to find them. "Sorry for intruding, I haven’t sung karaoke in a long while. I heard Chen Feng was here and thought I’d join in the fun. You don’t mind, do you?" Guo Mengyao greeted Wu Mengting and Lin Yujiao with a smile. Wu Mengting smiled reluctantly and said, "Of course not. We were getting a bit tired of singing, so it’s just the right time for you to take over." Lin Yujiao also smiled and said to her, "We’ve booked three hours, and now that you’re here, it’s perfect, otherwise the time would go to waste." "That’s good. After we finish singing, I’ll treat you all to a late-night snack," Guo Mengyao generously offered. Chen Feng quickly said, "No need for a late-night snack. We somewhat overate at the buffet earlier." Wu Mengting also said, "Yes, no need. We’re quite full now." Guo Mengyao smiled and suggested, "I’ll take you out for bird’s nest soup, good for beauty and health. Just a small bowl." The two women’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. Everyone knew the benefits of bird’s nest for women, and they were immediately tempted.
