Chapter 222: Chapter 144: Helping My Girlfriend Find Someone
Chen Feng really did have some regrets, but it had been ten years, what good would regret do now?
"I do have regrets," Chen Feng said with a smile, "I didn’t realize it before, but when I saw her this time, she truly was enchanting, that face, that figure..."
"Cough, cough, cough." Ning Wei suddenly burst into a fit of coughing, conveniently interrupting Chen Feng mid-sentence.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Ning Wei casually remarked, "Sorry, just choked a little."
So, everyone returned their attention away, and Qin Zhen continued the conversation with Chen Feng about Guo Mengyao with a laugh, "I saw her once during the class reunion a few years ago. She’s really changed a lot since high school. I saw her potential back then, but I didn’t expect her to become so charming. It’s a shame, she was already married by then, otherwise, I’d really consider pursuing her again."
"Cough, cough, cough." Ning Wei coughed again, and once more, everyone turned to look at her.
This time everyone knew she was doing it on purpose, obviously because Chen Feng and Qin Zhen were discussing Guo Mengyao.
Qin Zhen frowned slightly, displeased, and said, "Can’t you be more careful when eating?"
Ning Wei pursed her lips and retorted, "We have three beauties sitting right here, and yet you two are still talking about other women, are you ignoring us three?"
Qin Zhen felt even less pleased when he heard this.
Chen Feng, trying to defuse the tension, said with a smile, "It’s our fault. Let’s not talk about other women then. If we’re to discuss, we should talk about you three."
Sensing Qin Zhen’s displeasure, Ning Wei also responded with a laugh, "Then tell us about this friend of yours. We all already know Mengting, but we don’t know your friend here."
Lin Yujiao took the initiative and said, "We met through a blind date and found we got along quite well, so we became friends."
"Oh, met through a blind date, huh? You two really do have quite the fate," Ning Wei said with a teasing smile. "But are you really just friends?"
Lin Yujiao’s face stiffened slightly; she was quite wary of too many people finding out about her being kept by someone.
The fewer people knew about it, the better. That’s why she had deliberately phrased it that way just now.
As for the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, she would have liked to acknowledge it, but it was clear that Chen Feng had no such intent, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to say so unilaterally.
"Of course, just friends. What else would you think?" Chen Feng chimed in with a laugh, turning the question around.
Ning Wei simply laughed. She didn’t pursue the matter any further.
But her attitude left Chen Feng feeling inexplicably annoyed on the inside.
"Come on, let’s drink."
Qin Zhen took the initiative to raise his glass and toast Chen Feng.
Chen Feng decided not to quibble with Ning Wei and clinked his glass with Qin Zhen’s, taking a sip.
Afterward, the group continued to chat about all sorts of topics as they ate. Wu Mengting started talking about her nationwide travel experiences with Chen Feng. Being a web novelist, her storytelling skills were quite strong. She described the various attractions and delicacies with such vividness that everyone couldn’t help but feel a strong desire to visit those places.
Ning Wei and Wu Mengting seemed to get along well, and soon they veered off into a discussion about fashion, makeup and beauty, and luxury goods, chatting quite harmoniously.
Only Lin Yujiao felt somewhat unable to join in; although she owned a clothes shop, she didn’t know much about upscale or international fashion trends, and she didn’t have access or interest in those areas.
Both Ning Wei and Wu Mengting did not make any effort to include her in their conversation, effectively leaving her subtly excluded.
Chen Feng and Qin Zhen were also deeply engrossed in their discussion, ignoring her as well, and their conversation was centered around men’s topics, which she couldn’t interject into.
Thus, at the same table, Lin Yujiao seemed somewhat out of place compared to the other four.
Fortunately, Lin Yujiao was somewhat prepared for this and kept her composure, simply focusing on enjoying her meal.
Although the buffet here was a bit pricey, the quality of ingredients and food was much better than those cheaper places that cost a few dozen yuan per person. Lin Yujiao was quite happy with her meal.
After Chen Feng and Qin Zhen each had finished a bottle of Budweiser, they realized that Lin Yujiao, who was silently eating, seemed to have been neglected, so Chen Feng took the initiative to speak to Qin Zhen in the local dialect, "Ah Zhen, Yu Jiao is now my girlfriend. After we break up, I’m hoping you can look out for her, like finding her a reliable husband. After all, you know more people than I do."
Qin Zhen was caught off guard by Chen Feng’s words, thinking he heard wrong or that Chen Feng was drunk and talking nonsense. He quickly interrogated, "You’re saying she’s your girlfriend now, and then, you mean you’ll break up with her and want me to help her find a husband?"
Chen Feng nodded as if it were a matter of course, "Yes. What’s wrong with that?"
This was indeed Chen Feng’s genuine thought, or rather, a heads-up to Qin Zhen for something to take care of after he was gone.
Once again, it was the old saying: Chen Feng was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could die at any time. Lin Yujiao had been with him after all, so when they broke up, or if Chen Feng were to die, he hoped his good buddy Qin Zhen would take care of her and find her a reliable man to be her husband. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with that.
Chen Feng always had a conscience when it came to women who had been good to him.
But neither Qin Zhen nor Lin Yujiao knew about Chen Feng’s terminal illness, so hearing this made them both feel rather perturbed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Yujiao was a bit angry and even more embarrassed, shooting him a fierce glare. If they hadn’t been sitting so far apart, she would have wanted to twist his ear.
