Chapter 144: Helping a Girlfriend Find a Partner

Chen Feng really regretted it a little, but it had been ten years. What was the use of regretting it now?

“I do regret it,” Chen Feng said with a smile. “I didn’t notice it before, but now that I see her, she’s really charming. That face, that figure…”

“Ahem, ahem, ahem.” Ning Wei suddenly coughed continuously, just in time to interrupt Chen Feng’s words.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Ning Wei still said with a calm expression, “I’m sorry, I just choked a little.”

So everyone looked away. Qin Zhen continued to chat with Chen Feng about Guo Mengyao with a smile, “I saw her once at a class reunion a few years ago. It’s really true that a girl changes eighteen times. In high school, I saw her potential, but I didn’t expect her to become so charming later. It’s a pity that she was already married at that time, otherwise I would have really wanted to pursue her again.”

“Ahem, ahem, ahem.” Ning Wei coughed again, and everyone looked at her again.

This time everyone knew she was doing it on purpose. The reason was of course because Chen Feng and Qin Zhen were talking about Guo Mengyao together.

Qin Zhen frowned slightly with some displeasure and said, “Can’t you be more careful when you eat?”

Ning Wei pouted slightly and said, “We three beauties are sitting here, but you two are still talking about other women. Are you not putting us three in your eyes?”

Hearing her words, Qin Zhen felt even more unhappy in his heart.

Hearing this, Chen Feng smiled and eased the atmosphere, “It’s our fault. Then we won’t talk about other women. Let’s talk about you three.”

Ning Wei was not without discernment. Seeing that Qin Zhen was a little unhappy, she also smiled and said, “Then you can talk to us about this friend of yours. We all know Mengting. We don’t know this friend of yours yet.”

Hearing this, Lin Yujiao took the initiative to say, “We met on a blind date. We got along quite well and became friends.”

“Oh. You met on a blind date. Then you two are really quite fated,” Ning Wei said with a half-smile. “But are you really just friends?”

Lin Yujiao’s face stiffened slightly. She was still quite taboo about too many people knowing that she was being kept.

This kind of thing, the fewer people who knew, the better. So, she had deliberately said that just now.

As for the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, she wanted to admit it, but Chen Feng obviously didn’t have this idea. She couldn’t say it unilaterally.

“Of course we’re just friends. What do you think?” Chen Feng took over the conversation and asked back with a smile.

Ning Wei smiled lightly and didn’t say anything more.

It was just that her attitude made Chen Feng feel inexplicably unhappy.

“Here, have a drink.”

Qin Zhen took the initiative to raise his glass and toast Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn’t bother with Ning Wei anymore and raised his glass to drink with Qin Zhen.

Next, the few of them ate and chatted about everything under the sun. Wu Mengting also took the initiative to talk about her trip around the country with Chen Feng. Her expressive ability was still very strong. After all, she was an online writer. She described the scenic spots and food in some places in a vivid and detailed way, which made everyone feel very yearning.

Ning Wei and Wu Mengting got along quite well. Before long, they digressed to clothing, cosmetics, beauty, and luxury goods. They seemed to be chatting very harmoniously.

Only Lin Yujiao was a little left out. Although she ran a clothing store, she really didn’t know much about some high-end or international fashion things. She also didn’t have the channels or pursuit in this area.

And neither Ning Wei nor Wu Mengting had the intention of taking the initiative to bring her into their topic, so she was faintly excluded from the topic by the two women.

Chen Feng and Qin Zhen were also chatting happily. Of course, they also ignored her. And they were talking about men’s topics between the two of them, so she couldn’t interrupt.

So, Lin Yujiao at the same table seemed a little out of place with the four of them.

Fortunately, Lin Yujiao was mentally prepared for this. At this time, her mentality was still quite good. She just ate her own food.

Although the buffet here was a bit expensive, the ingredients and food were much better than those outside that cost tens of yuan per person. Lin Yujiao ate quite happily.

After Chen Feng and Qin Zhen each finished a bottle of Budweiser, they discovered that Lin Yujiao, who had been silently eating with her head down, seemed to have been left out. So he took the initiative to speak to Qin Zhen in the local dialect, “Ah Zhen, Yujiao is my girlfriend now. After we break up, I hope you can help take care of her, for example, find her a reliable husband. After all, you know more people than I do.”

Qin Zhen was quite shocked by Chen Feng’s words. He thought he had misheard, or that Chen Feng was drunk and talking nonsense. He quickly asked, “You said she’s your girlfriend now. Then, you mean you’ll break up with her, and then ask me to help her find a husband?”

Chen Feng nodded as a matter of course, “Yes. Is there anything wrong with that?”

This was really Chen Feng’s true thought, or rather, he was telling Qin Zhen about a matter after his death in advance.

It was still the same sentence. He had a terminal illness now and could die at any time. Lin Yujiao had been with him, after all. After they broke up in the future, or after Chen Feng died, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with asking his good buddy Qin Zhen to help take care of her and introduce a reliable person to be her husband.

Chen Feng was still quite conscientious towards the women who had been with him.

But Qin Zhen and Lin Yujiao didn’t know that Chen Feng had a terminal illness. Hearing him say this, they couldn’t help but feel strange in their hearts.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Lin Yujiao was a little angry, but more shy and annoyed. She glared at him fiercely. If they weren’t sitting a little far apart, she would have wanted to reach out and pinch him.

Lin Yujiao was really angry when she heard Chen Feng’s words. What did he mean by “is considered a girlfriend”? What did he mean by “after we break up”? What was even more outrageous was that he even asked Qin Zhen to help her find a husband.

“I’m not talking nonsense,” Chen Feng said to Lin Yujiao with a serious face. “We agreed before. If you have a suitable partner, we’ll break up. But your taste in men is really not very good. So, I want Ah Zhen to help you check. He’s a policeman, after all. It’s very convenient to investigate a person. You know what I mean, right?”

After Chen Feng explained this, Lin Yujiao understood. While she was a little moved, she was even more disappointed.

To be fair, she was actually quite satisfied with Chen Feng. Not to mention whether he had money or not, just his character and appearance completely met her criteria for choosing a spouse.

It was just that Chen Feng had only been physical with her from the beginning and not emotional. Although he was quite good to her, he had no intention of marrying him at all.

“So that’s how it is. I thought you wanted me to introduce her to a partner,” Qin Zhen said with a smile. “I’ve never introduced a partner to anyone, especially not to a woman.”

Chen Feng said, “You haven’t before, you can try in the future. You can ask your family to help you keep an eye out. Yujiao used to have a shop in the county town and has lived in the county town for many years. She just divorced a few months ago and moved to Qingpu Town to develop. She opened a clothing store. She’s twenty-eight after the New Year and has no children.”

Qin Zhen looked at Chen Feng speechlessly. After a good while, he said with a look of admiration, “Brother, you’re still generous. I definitely couldn’t do this. Introducing a partner to your girlfriend who you haven’t broken up with yet. I can’t believe you thought of that.”

Chen Feng smiled and corrected, “I said you can introduce her after we break up. Not now. We haven’t broken up yet.”

“I see. After you break up in the future, tell me. I’ll ask my mom to keep an eye out. With Yujiao’s looks and no children, to be honest, it’s very easy to find a partner with good conditions.”

Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but say unhappily, “I say, you two are enough. I’m still sitting here. If I really want to find a partner in the future, I’ll find one myself. I don’t need you to worry and help.”

Chen Feng said earnestly, “You have to let me and Ah Zhen check the ones you find yourself. Otherwise, it would be miserable if you were cheated of your money and body.”

Lin Yujiao glared at him hatefully, stopped talking to him, and lowered her head to continue eating.

Wu Mengting suddenly interrupted and also said in the local dialect, “Brother, you’re really worrying for nothing. With Yujiao’s good conditions, what kind of man can’t she find? Do you need to do this? You should be more concerned about where your own wife is.”
Qin Zhen smiled, “Mengting is right. Fengzi, I think you should be more concerned about your own marriage. Your conditions are not bad now, and you have money. It shouldn’t be difficult to find someone better than your ex-wife. After the New Year, you’ll be thirty. If you’re not in a hurry, your family should be.”

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him unhappily, “As if you’re still very young. Then when do you plan to get married?”

Qin Zhen was suddenly at a loss for words.

“What are you talking about?”

Ning Wei, who couldn’t understand the dialect here, looked at Qin Zhen with some displeasure.

“Nothing, just chatting,” of course Qin Zhen couldn’t reveal Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao’s privacy and just gave a perfunctory answer.

Next, Wu Mengting didn’t ignore Lin Yujiao anymore. She pulled her to chat with Ning Wei about celebrity gossip and clothing, which finally gave Lin Yujiao a topic to participate in.

The five of them ate and drank for more than an hour. They were all a little full, so they left the buffet restaurant.

Originally, Chen Feng had planned for everyone to go to karaoke together, but Qin Zhen said that it was his first day back tonight and he had to go home early to report to his parents. They would make another appointment another day.

After separating from Qin Zhen and Ning Wei, Chen Feng looked at the time. It was only a little after eight o’clock in the evening. It was too early to go back. So, the plan to go to karaoke continued.

Wu Mengting and Lin Yujiao didn’t object. Basically, women love to sing, and they were no exception.

They came to the same KTV they had been to last time. Because it was the peak time at night, it was a bit crowded. The small and medium private rooms were all full. Seeing this, Chen Feng just got a large private room.

The large private room was indeed different. It was much more spacious, but with only the three of them, it felt a little lacking in atmosphere. It was too spacious.

However, since they had already paid, they definitely had to enjoy it.

This time, Chen Feng first went to sing a soul-stirring “Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven.” The beginning was fine, but unfortunately, he couldn’t hit the high notes later and his voice broke directly, which made the two women laugh uncontrollably.

Chen Feng was already used to this and was not embarrassed at all. After the chorus, he was a little better when he sang the second verse, but his voice still broke when he hit the high notes. The two women laughed again.

Finally, after finishing the song, Chen Feng looked at the two women speechlessly and said with the microphone, “Can you give me some face? You’re laughing so hard. I’m very embarrassed, you know?”

Wu Mengting covered her mouth and smiled, panting slightly, “Are you embarrassed? I can’t see it.”

Lin Yujiao nodded repeatedly, “Yes. When I came here with him last time, his voice broke, but I really didn’t see him embarrassed at all. He’s very thick-skinned.”

“Ah, you’ve been here before?” Wu Mengting’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Yes. It was a few days ago, when I just met him.”

“Oh…”

“Alright. You two sing. Mengting, you go first.”

“Okay. I’ll go first.” Wu Mengting stood up, went over to take the microphone from Chen Feng, and then chose a song she liked very much, “Courage,” and began to sing softly.

The difficulty of this song was not high, and it was very popular. Basically, everyone had heard it. But because of this, it was not easy to sing it with emotion and make everyone think it was good, because everyone was very familiar with this song.

However, Wu Mengting’s singing of this song was really very infectious, at least that’s what Chen Feng thought.

Especially the chorus part was sung very emotionally.

“Love really needs courage, to face the rumors and gossip. As long as you give me a look of affirmation, my love will have meaning…”

As she sang this “Courage,” she looked at Chen Feng with soft eyes, which immediately made Chen Feng feel very uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, the song finally ended. Chen Feng quickly applauded and cheered. Next was Lin Yujiao.

Lin Yujiao sang a recently re-popular old song, “Lovesickness.” This song was undoubtedly very difficult, but Lin Yujiao performed it without any effort, which made Chen Feng and Wu Mengting marvel and couldn’t help but applaud and cheer.

Next, Chen Feng didn’t go up to sing again. The two women took turns, and later they even sang a duet together.

And Chen Feng was responsible for applauding and cheering for them until he received a WeChat message from Guo Mengyao, asking if he was still in the county town. Chen Feng said he was singing at a KTV here.

Then, Guo Mengyao said she was also nearby and wanted to come over to sing karaoke together. She asked if he minded if she joined.

Although Chen Feng minded a little, he couldn’t refuse. He gave her the address and private room number here.

Then, after the two women finished singing a song, Chen Feng told them about this matter.

The two women didn’t say anything, but from their expressions, it was obvious that they were not very happy to have another person join.

But Chen Feng couldn’t refuse, so they couldn’t object either.

At the moment, they also temporarily stopped singing and sat down together to eat snacks, fruit platters, and drink drinks.

Guo Mengyao was really nearby. She found them in less than ten minutes.

“I’m sorry. I haven’t sung karaoke for a long time. I just heard Chen Feng say he was singing karaoke here, so I came over to join in the fun. You don’t mind, do you?”

Guo Mengyao smiled and greeted the two women, Wu Mengting.

Wu Mengting forced a smile and said, “Of course not. We’re a little tired of singing. You’ve come just in time to take over.”

Lin Yujiao also smiled and said to her, “We booked for three hours. It’s just right that you’re here now. Otherwise, the time would be wasted.”

“That’s good. I’ll treat you to a late-night snack after we finish singing,” Guo Mengyao said generously.

Chen Feng quickly said, “No need for a late-night snack. We were all a little full from the buffet before.”

Wu Mengting also said, “Yes, no need. I’m very full now.”

Guo Mengyao smiled and said, “I’ll take you to eat bird’s nest. It’s good for beauty and skin. It’s not much, just a small bowl.”

Hearing this, the two women’s eyes immediately lit up. Everyone knew the benefits of bird’s nest for women. The two women were immediately tempted.
