Chapter 246: Chapter 155 Three Initiatives_2

"Oh, is that how it is?" Mr. Lin nodded, pretending to understand. He was curious about how much Chen Feng had right now, but he felt it was too abrupt to ask and that it would make his family seem too greedy for money, so he didn’t pursue the question.

Mrs. Lin hurried down from upstairs at that moment, warmly offering to make tea for Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao. She also wanted to cook them sweet-soup eggs—a favorite treat of Lin Yujiao’s since childhood, made from eggs laid by their own hens.

Chen Feng did not hesitate to accept, and Lin Yujiao didn’t need to be asked, even instructing her mother to use more eggs.

Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao made small talk with Mr. Lin, mainly with Chen Feng suggesting several nice tourist spots and recommending that they visit them after the New Year.

Travel was attractive to these healthy seniors, and Mr. Lin was very interested, asking for details. Chen Feng was generous with his information, much to Mr. Lin’s satisfaction.

Before long, Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao were served the sweet-soup eggs—a simple and unadorned snack that had been considered a luxury in the past and was still not cheap.

Because the free-range eggs they raised were expensive, selling for thirty to forty per pound in the countryside, a single small egg would cost at least three or four yuan.

Chen Feng had eight eggs in his bowl, costing thirty to forty in materials alone. Adding in labor and other costs plus pure brown sugar, this bowl would be considered cheap at fifty yuan if sold commercially.

After eating five, Chen Feng felt quite full, but Lin Yujiao did not hesitate to finish all five in her bowl and appeared to still want more. Seeing Chen Feng had three left, she unhesitatingly took them and ate them as well.

It was clear she really enjoyed the sweet-soup eggs.

After she finished, she sheepishly explained that she hadn’t eaten much for lunch.

Once they’d eaten, Chen Feng made his excuses to leave. The elderly couple tried to persuade him to stay for dinner, but he declined.

Before leaving, Chen Feng specifically reminded them not to tell anyone about the two hundred thousand yuan he’d given them, especially not his own family. Chen Feng hadn’t informed his family to avoid upsetting his parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin quickly assured him they understood the value of discretion and were concerned that Chen Feng’s parents might ask for the money back if they found out.

With that assurance, Chen Feng left contentedly with Lin Yujiao.

"Brother Feng, thank you."

Once they were in the car and had just started driving, Lin Yujiao leaned over and kissed Chen Feng on the cheek, showing her gratitude.

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Feng’s mouth, feeling the kiss was well worth the two hundred thousand yuan. "You don’t need to thank me," he said with a smile. "Just stay with me, and I assure you I’ll never let you down."

Lin Yujiao obediently nodded, humming in agreement.

Her obedient demeanor pleased Chen Feng and gave him a sense of achievement. He felt his effort in playing along with her act was not in vain.

They drove back to Qingpu Town and naturally went to her rented room.

Thankfully, using the back door meant few people saw them.

Of course, both were single, so being seen wasn’t an issue, but since Chen Feng lived on the same street, it could be somewhat awkward if recognized.

Her ground-floor rental was quite small, leaving little space once a bed was placed.

Chen Feng suggested, "Maybe you should rent a different place next year. Rent one of the upstairs apartments here. Our rent isn’t expensive, probably just over ten thousand for a year."

"The one upstairs is at least two bedrooms and a living room. It’s a minimum of fifteen thousand for a year now—even last year it was only twelve thousand. I don’t need that much space as a single person, and I don’t want to share with others. This place is fine."

Chen Feng was about to offer to pay but held back. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to spend the money, but he was afraid she might fall in love with him because of his generosity, which would be troublesome.

"So, do as you think best. You’ve closed your store, do you have any plans?"

Lin Yujiao eagerly suggested, "Why don’t we travel? Just around nearby places."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng agreed: "Sure. There’s nothing pressing, so let’s explore the surrounding counties and cities."

"That’s great." Lin Yujiao wrapped her arms around Chen Feng, giving him a kiss, her second initiative that day.

Chen Feng was pleased, yet also worried that she might fall in love with him because of it.

Of course, Chen Feng had been through this before with Sun Xiaorui and Xiao Ya as precedents. As long as he didn’t fall for them, ending things would be clean, just like with Xiao Ya. If it came to that, it was just a matter of spending a bit more money.

The two immediately searched on their phones, discussing where to go for fun in the surrounding area.

They quickly settled on two spots, both near their city, Lu City. The farthest by high-speed train was just an hour away. After planning their route, Chen Feng straightforwardly bought two high-speed train tickets for a little after one o’clock the next afternoon.

Even though it was the Spring Festival travel rush, the train tickets nearby were still relatively easy to get.

Seeing Chen Feng so decisively buying the tickets, Lin Yujiao once again took the initiative to hug him and asked for a kiss.

This time Chen Feng didn’t let her succeed, but turned the tables by pinning her down...

When Chen Feng got home, it was already past nine in the evening. As soon as he walked in, his mom who ran the store glared at him and asked, "You disappeared all day, what have you been up to?"

Chen Feng quickly offered an apologetic smile, "Didn’t I tell you, I went to the county city to hang out with my classmates."

"Male or female?"

"Both, all old high school classmates."

Zhao Xiaolan said with a stern face, "Then how come I heard from your dad that your car was parked by the Yu Jiao Clothing Store?"

Chen Feng suddenly felt like he was caught in a Spartan trap, extremely embarrassed.

Indeed, a mother knows her child best. The direct accusation caught Chen Feng completely off guard.

Fortunately, it was just the two of them in the store.

"I... I was indeed hanging out with old classmates in the county city earlier, and on the way back, I stopped by Yu Jiao’s place to sit for a while."

Chen Feng’s words were actually the truth, but he couldn’t help his face burning with embarrassment.

"Enough. I don’t care about these messy things. I just hope you seriously consider Little Ting. If you end up with her, you need to settle down. This Yu Jiao, I don’t accept. You can play around with her, but don’t start a fire."

"Yes, yes, I know. I’m going to go inside now. You should also rest early, mom."

"Go ahead."

Chen Feng felt like he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly walked to his room in the back.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Yujiao was lying in bed happily browsing through travel guides for the next day’s trip when she suddenly received a WeChat message from Guo Mengyao.

The last time they had all hung out together, Guo Mengyao took advantage of the three women going to the restroom together to exchange WeChat contact information.

But after parting ways, they hadn’t contacted each other. Neither Wu Mengting nor Guo Mengyao had reached out to her, and of course, she hadn’t taken the initiative to contact them either.

This was some sort of tacit understanding among the three women.

Until now, Guo Mengyao took the initiative to send her a WeChat message, breaking this tacit agreement.

[I heard from Chen Feng that he accompanied you home to meet the parents this afternoon. How did it go? Is it about discussing marriage?]

Lin Yujiao frowned upon receiving this message.

Chen Feng had actually shared such private matters with Guo Mengyao, which clearly showed the two were close.

Remembering Guo Mengyao’s affection and flirtatious behavior towards Chen Feng the last time they all hung out, she felt even more uncomfortable.

After weighing her response for a moment, Lin Yujiao replied: [Yes, my parents are quite satisfied with him.]

Guo Mengyao waited for two or three minutes before getting this reply from Lin Yujiao. With thoughts racing, she understood that Lin Yujiao was avoiding the weightier issues, being evasive and obscure.

Both were women, and Guo Mengyao was highly intelligent. She wouldn’t be easily fooled by Lin Yujiao’s trick.

[It’s a pity, but Chen Feng has no intention of getting married. Your parents’ satisfaction with him is futile for now. Who knows when he will come around.]

Lin Yujiao knew upon seeing the message that her bluff had failed, so frustrated she almost smashed her phone.
