Chapter 77: Chapter 70 Vanity_2Chen Feng lived alone in a regular village villa, which was already luxurious enough. So, there was no need for a bigger villa. After settling the room, it was time for Xiao Ya to leave. However, she clearly didn’t want to go and was pleadingly looking at Chen Feng, hoping he would take her to see the world. Chen Feng, of course, couldn’t rudely refuse, so he took her along. This village villa was actually a two-story traditional building with a small courtyard, black-tiled walls, surrounded by a verdant landscape. However, while it appeared to be a traditional building from the outside, the interior was very clean and tidy, equipped with many modern appliances that didn’t seem out of place. Every item inside was meticulously arranged, or rather, imbued with a mood that made it very comfortable to look at. Opening the door revealed a spotless environment, bright and welcoming. Windows open on both sides of the house gave a sense of spaciousness. Looking through the windows, one could see a half-person-tall courtyard wall made of stone, and beyond the wall, not far away, a lush green tea plantation. The environment was really remarkable, akin to a tourist scenic area. What’s more, it was extremely quiet, with only the sound of insects and birds, no noisy disturbances. "This place is so great!" Xiao Ya praised while snapping photos with her phone, using the indoor decorations as a backdrop for several selfies. Then she asked Chen Feng to help her take some beautiful pictures standing in front of the window. Chen Feng could understand this behavior and was quite cooperative in taking photos for her to show off on her social media. But after she had been taking various photos and gazing around for half an hour without any sign of leaving, it had started to annoy him a bit. So, in the end, he just ignored her and went to take a bath in the bathroom by himself. Then, he planned to call a masseuse to come over for a massage. This villa was equipped with a massage room, specifically for guests’ massages. Of course, if you asked for massage services, you’d definitely have to pay extra. However, when he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, Xiao Ya was still in the room, sitting on the sofa, taking selfies from all angles with her phone. Chen Feng was somewhat speechless and couldn’t help but tease her, "Junior sister, can’t bear to leave? If you can’t bear it, why not stay and live together? Just remember, there’s only one bed here." Xiao Ya was initially startled, then her face turned red as she said, "Senior, if you want me to stay, I will stay." Chen Feng was stunned for a moment; honestly, he hadn’t had that thought at all. He just wanted to tease her and figured she would leave out of shyness. But clearly, Chen Feng had underestimated the lethal charm of this top-tier hotel’s traditional villa to women. Or perhaps, he had underestimated his own attractiveness to women. For starters, he was quite good-looking, and he had effortlessly purchased a villa worth tens of millions. He also wasn’t too old, and the two of them, being alumni, found quite a bit of common ground after interacting. What Chen Feng didn’t know was that from the moment she took photos at the upscale Western restaurant and posted them to her social media, her feed had exploded. Especially after she "checked in" to the traditional villa, her post received dozens of likes, and the comments surpassed a hundred in just fifteen minutes. Keep in mind, she only had about fifty or sixty friends in total on her social media, and at least half of them didn’t interact with her much in real life, many being clients from her previous job. In the past, if she posted something, only a few of those people would like it, let alone leave comments. But this time, after dining at an upscale Western restaurant, she received more than 10 likes for the first time, and the comments exceeded 30. Once she "checked in" to the villa, the likes broke 50 and the comments went over a hundred. This was undoubtedly the most glorious moment she’d ever had on social media! What woman doesn’t love vanity? Men are no different. The problem was just whether or not there was an opportunity to achieve vanity. Most people in the world are common and ordinary, all with their emotions and desires. How many truly desireless saints have there been over thousands of years? Xiao Ya wasn’t a desireless woman; she liked money, name brands, posting beautiful selfies on social media, showing off good food and fun, showing off travel, showing off various things that made her face shine. It was just that she hadn’t met a rich man who felt right, like Chen Feng, so she had always stuck to her principles, unlike some other female agents who were more lenient with their favors, accompanying clients in various ways to increase the volume of property transactions. But with a prime client like Chen Feng, she suddenly felt that maybe accompanying him wasn’t such a big deal. In any case, in this consumer society, were there really any women of unyielding virtue left? In the face of the right price, few could maintain their fragile principles. She, Xiao Ya, had done well to hold on to her principles and not sell herself. Xiao Ya had built up this mindset, and when Chen Feng emerged from the bathroom, even if he didn’t make a move, she felt like taking the initiative. Rich men of Chen Feng’s quality were truly rare. At least, she had never met one before. "Junior, your joke isn’t funny. I might take it seriously," Chen Feng said with a laugh. Xiao Ya slightly shook her head and said, "Senior, I’m serious. Although we haven’t known each other long, from our two encounters I think you’re quite a nice person. Plus, we’re alumni, which really feels like fate. I don’t mind being with you..." Chen Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, "I have a girlfriend, as I mentioned when buying the house." Xiao Ya smiled naturally and said, "I know. I’m not trying to compete with your girlfriend, I can be your lover and your fallback. If in the future you might break up with her, I hope you would give me a chance." This was really something! Were the girls these days all so direct? Chen Feng was somewhat startled. First, it had been Sun Xiaorui actively "pursuing" him, now it was Xiao Ya. She hadn’t shown any signs before, but now, just because he’d treated her to a Western meal and had brought her to see this ancient-style villa to broaden her horizons, she wanted to "pursue" him too. "Aren’t you degrading yourself too much with that talk? Fallback? With your assets, you could totally find a rich boyfriend," Chen Feng sincerely remarked. Xiao Ya shook her head and said, "Rich men are generally fickle. Once, a second-generation rich guy pursued me persistently for over a month. Later when I told him, if he really liked me, go straight to get a marriage certificate and make a notarized agreement of his property, agreeing if he cheated in the future, he’d pay me half of his assets. As you might guess, he didn’t agree. He immediately revealed his true colors, became ashamed and angry, and even wanted to hit me. Then there are some rich people who want to keep me as a mistress, but they’re more disgusting one after the other, from uneducated nouveau riches to pretentious upper-class scum. I haven’t seen one I could respect. And then some homebuyers and sellers who wanted to sleep with me, I’ve refused them all because I know I’m not selling myself. I’m not one of those disreputable female agents." Hearing her long speech, Chen Feng wasn’t really moved inside; he wasn’t a newbie. She spoke as though she was pure and incorruptible, but who knew what went on in private? There were plenty in this society who seemed like white lotus flowers on the surface, but were call girls behind the scenes. The more shameless, the more they pretend to be pure. However, internally skeptical as he was, Chen Feng still nodded, "Mhm. I can tell, you are different from those female agents with bad reputations. Initially, it was because I liked the look of you that I approached you. Otherwise, there were several other women in that office." Hearing Chen Feng say this, Xiao Ya was very happy, smiling, "It’s fate then. You took a fancy to me at first sight, which means you had a good impression of me, at least I fit your taste, right?" "Suppose you could say that. But really, there’s no need for you to be my lover. I can’t give you anything," Chen Feng was also frank. Xiao Ya’s situation was different from Sun Xiaorui’s. Besides, he was someone who was content with what he had, and by the time he left this world having just Sun Xiaorui by his side was enough; there was no need for another woman. The only drawback was that Sun Xiaorui, because of her father’s illness, he didn’t know when she would be able to return to his side. He was on his own now, and not short of money, which made life a bit hard to endure. "I don’t need you to give me anything. As I said earlier, I just want to be your backup, hoping to have a chance to make it official in the future." This chapter is updated by freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
