Chapter 242: Chapter 153 Belly and Abs Definition_2"In principle, I agree with your proposal," Chen Feng said. "The reason I’m investing in your company is mainly because I value your character, as well as our friendship. As for your business acumen, although I haven’t verified it yet, I suppose it must be decent. Therefore, I believe that investing my money with you would look promising in the long run. However, I will definitely need to take everything into consideration and consult with professionals before I can make a final decision." Chen Feng didn’t agree right away. Although their relationship was special, friendship was friendship and business was business—they both distinguished the two quite clearly. Surely, Guo Mengyao would understand. Indeed, Guo Mengyao wasn’t angry but nodded in agreement, "Of course. Once I’ve relocated the company here, we’ll have a good talk, and you can then have professionals evaluate my company." "That’s settled then." They exchanged a smile. Just then, a waiter brought the dishes, and they began to eat heartily. They hadn’t had breakfast, and by now were starving, both of them eating quickly. As a woman, Guo Mengyao was slightly conscious of her image, whereas Chen Feng ate like a whirlwind, refilling his rice twice. Of the several dishes ordered, at least two-thirds ended up in his stomach. Not to mention, the food here seemed as good as ever, tasting much like it did during his high school days—extremely delicious. After the meal, Chen Feng opened a can of Jianlibao and gulped down a few mouthfuls, followed by a satisfying belch—that felt too perfect. "You said you wanted to lose weight," Guo Mengyao said with a look of disdain. "How will you lose anything eating so much and drinking soda?" Chen Feng laughed and replied, "Last night and this morning, I had several matches which burned a lot of energy. Definitely needed to replenish my strength." Hearing this, Guo Mengyao gave him an angry glare, then guiltily looked over her shoulder, but didn’t see her father. "Don’t worry. Your dad went upstairs." Chen Feng leaned back in his seat and picked his teeth with a toothpick, urging her, "Done eating? If you’re done, let’s go." "Really, I’m not even full yet. Couldn’t you have left some food for me?" Guo Mengyao complained. "I’m doing this for your own good. You have to control your diet, or else you’ll become a chubby girl." "Get lost, where have I put on weight?" Guo Mengyao glared back resentfully. Chen Feng said, smiling, "You’re not fat now, just a little bit fleshy, but if you gain a few more pounds, your figure will be ruined. Haven’t you noticed you’re starting to get a bit of a belly?" Guo Mengyao was immediately furious, raising her chopsticks as if to throw them at him, but Chen Feng quickly raised his hands to shield himself. "Alright, alright, my bad." "You really can’t expect anything nice to come out of a dog’s mouth. Do I look like I have a belly? That’s clearly the line of abs." Chen Feng almost burst out laughing when he heard ’line of abs’. She had a cesarean, and there was indeed a line on her abdomen, not very noticeable; he had personally felt it, and she jokingly called it the abs line. But truthfully, when lying flat her abdomen was quite slim, but when sitting, there was a slight protrusion. That’s pretty normal, after all, she was going to be thirty after the new year, and most women at that age, especially after marriage and childbirth, have a bit of a belly. Hers being less noticeable was somewhat commendable. Actually, Chen Feng was quite fond of her little belly—it was comfortable to touch. "Right, the abs line. But with such a nice figure, you should still try to maintain it. Can’t eat too much." Chen Feng suppressed his laughter, saying in a serious tone. "Nag much? Do I need you to tell me that? I practice yoga every day." She said that, but she put her chopsticks down anyway, leaving the last few bites of rice in her bowl uneaten. "Let’s go." Guo Mengyao stood up, signaling to Chen Feng. They quickly left Ruyi Building and got into her BMW X6. "How about we go watch a movie?" Guo Mengyao suggested as she started the car. Chen Feng immediately refused, "I have things to do this afternoon. Next time." "You’re such a downer. What could you possibly have to do this afternoon?" Guo Mengyao turned to glare at him. Chen Feng looked at her openly and said, "I have to meet Yu Jiao’s parents with her." "What? You... You’re meeting her parents? Didn’t you say last time that you didn’t want to get married?" Guo Mengyao had a face full of shock, along with some dissatisfaction. The two were old classmates and running mates after all, so Chen Feng still went out of his way to explain a little, "I’m her boyfriend now, helping her deal with the pressure from her family to get married." Guo Mengyao, upon hearing this, let out a quiet sigh of relief and didn’t ask for the details. She nodded and said, "That’s how it is. Then you should help her. No matter what, she’s still your mistress." "Not a mistress, a temporary girlfriend." "Tch! Temporary girlfriend." Chen Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue with her over the label, and directly said, "Drive me back to the hotel." Guo Mengyao suddenly said, "I won’t go to the hotel for now. I’ll drop you off at the roundabout. You can take a taxi back from there." Chen Feng glanced at her, indifferently saying, "Okay." Guo Mengyao didn’t expect Chen Feng to agree so readily and suddenly felt annoyed, but she couldn’t say much more and unconsciously stepped harder on the gas. Chen Feng was too lazy to worry about her and just kept looking at his phone. Lin Yujiao sent him a message on WeChat asking when he would be back. Chen Feng replied: half an hour. Wu Mengting sent him several photos of senior health care products, asking Chen Feng to help her choose. Chen Feng texted back: whatever. Wu Mengting immediately sent an unsatisfied emoji, which Chen Feng ignored. Sun Xiaorui also sent him a few photos, which Chen Feng looked at but didn’t reply to. He opened his Moments and scrolled through, coming across a beautified selfie from Sun Xiaorui and casually liked it. At this moment, the car abruptly came to a stop, and Guo Mengyao said in a cold tone, "We’re here. Get out." Chen Feng looked up at her, smiled faintly, and said, "Well then, I’m getting out." Guo Mengyao didn’t respond, and when Chen Feng leaned over to give her a kiss, she blocked him with her hand, putting up a clear "keep your distance" attitude. "Enough, hurry up and get out," Guo Mengyao said with a hint of impatience. This sudden change left Chen Feng speechless. He certainly wasn’t going to indulge her or beg her, since they were just running mates, not lovers. So, he unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and without another word, got out. Seeing Chen Feng leave so decisively, Guo Mengyao became even more angry, so much that she slapped the steering wheel with her hand repeatedly until her hand ached before driving off huffing. She didn’t understand why she was so suddenly angry; she certainly wouldn’t admit it was because she was jealous of Lin Yujiao. While Chen Feng suspected that she might be upset because of Lin Yujiao, he wasn’t about to go out of his way to appease her. His definition of their relationship was clear; they were old classmates and running mates, not lovers or even friends with benefits. He had intentionally been open about his plans for the afternoon just to give her a heads-up, so she wouldn’t start treating him like a lover or a boyfriend. Hanging out for fun was fine, but discussing feelings was off the table; they could only talk about companionship at most. Chen Feng felt that after today, it was probably time to let the relationship cool down a bit to avoid any overstepping of boundaries. He was lucky. He had just gotten out of Guo Mengyao’s car, and after only a short wait at the roadside, an empty taxi came by. He flagged it down and in less than ten minutes, he was at the Yujing Hotel. Once in his car, he quickly drove to a nearby bank. There wasn’t a queue, so he easily withdrew two hundred thousand in cash, which was bundled in twenty packs, wrapped in newspaper, and placed in a black plastic bag. Exiting the bank, he casually put the black plastic bag in the trunk and drove back to Qingpu Town. Lin Yujiao had been waiting at home for a while. One call from Chen Feng, and she hurried out of her rental, quickly getting into his car. "What gifts do your parents like? I’ll buy something on the way to your town." Chen Feng asked as he started the car. Lin Yujiao replied honestly, "They like money the most. Any other gift is fine." Chen Feng laughed and said, "Okay then. I’ve already brought the money. Once we’re at that town, I’ll just pick up some customary gifts." "Ah, you’ve brought the money? Two hundred thousand?" Even though Lin Yujiao was somewhat prepared, she was still shocked.
