Chapter 153: Potbelly and Abs

Chen Feng didn’t know who this bald middle-aged man was. The only thing he was sure of was that this person was probably not her husband.

Although this person looked to be in his forties and wasn’t ugly, his bald head was really a buzzkill. Moreover, he had a boorish aura. At a glance, he couldn’t possibly be the kind of man Guo Mengyao liked.

As for being her father, it was probably impossible in terms of age. He was too young.

Guo Mengyao was almost thirty years old. Her father should be in his early fifties.

So, Chen Feng guessed that this bald head should be her relative, such as an uncle or something.

“Alright, you go and accompany your friends,” Guo Mengyao said to the bald man with some impatience.

“You’ve been back for so many days, and we’ve only met once. It’s a coincidence that we met this time. Can’t you chat with me for a while longer?” The bald middle-aged man looked a little hurt. After saying that, he gave Chen Feng a deep look.

Chen Feng clearly felt a strong sense of jealousy in his eyes, which made Chen Feng doubt his identity again.

Guo Mengyao said casually, “Let’s talk about it next time. I have an old classmate to accompany me, don’t I? You should go and accompany your friends too.”

“Then why don’t you come home for dinner tonight? I’ll ask your aunt to cook your favorite dishes for you,” the bald middle-aged man looked at Guo Mengyao with some hope.

“I may not be free tonight,” Guo Mengyao frowned slightly. Seeing his pitiful look, she finally softened a little. “I’ll try my best to go.”

“Good, good. Then I’ll call you tonight,” the bald man’s face immediately lit up with a smile. “Remember to come. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go first. You guys chat slowly.”

Finally, he even nodded politely to Chen Feng before turning to leave.

Chen Feng was a little confused by their conversation. After the bald middle-aged man left, he couldn’t help but ask, “Could he be your… dad? He looks too young.”

Guo Mengyao nodded, “He’s my dad. He had me when he was seventeen, so he’s only forty-seven this year.”

“Damn! Is your dad that fierce?”

Chen Feng was shocked on the spot.

Guo Mengyao sighed and said, “My birth was an accident for my parents. They were only seventeen or eighteen at the time, too young. They got married because of me. Although they had some feelings for each other, they weren’t very deep. In my memory from childhood to adulthood, most of it was scenes of them arguing and even fighting.

So, they divorced after I went to high school. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them. After all, if they’re always arguing and fighting when they’re together, it’s better to separate early.”

Chen Feng was a little emotional after hearing this. At the same time, he could also understand the unfriendly and jealous look his father gave him just now.

“I didn’t expect to meet him here either. I’m sorry for startling you just now,” Guo Mengyao smiled at Chen Feng with some embarrassment.

“It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect your dad to be so young.”

Chen Feng didn’t care. He was scared at first, after all, he had a guilty conscience. But he calmed down later. Presumably, Guo Mengyao was the same.

“I was also scared just now. After all, I have a guilty conscience, you know,” Guo Mengyao lowered her voice slightly and raised her eyebrows at Chen Feng.

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but look at the counter. Her father happened to be looking at him at this time. The two of them looked at each other, both a little embarrassed and smiled falsely, then tacitly looked away.

From her father’s expression, it could be seen that he obviously knew that his daughter and Chen Feng were having an affair.

This was indeed a bit awkward. After all, Guo Mengyao was still a married woman.

“Does your dad know about your separation?” Chen Feng asked in a low voice.

Guo Mengyao smiled and shook her head, “I don’t know. I didn’t tell my parents about this.”

Damn! Chen Feng was completely speechless.

No wonder her father looked at him so unkindly at first. He obviously saw him as a third party. It was just that he didn’t lose his temper on the spot because of his daughter’s relationship.

Guo Mengyao obviously thought of it too. She said with some embarrassment, “Don’t worry, my dad probably didn’t see anything.”

Chen Feng gave her a roll of his eyes. It would be strange if he didn’t see it. With her flustered and guilty expression at the beginning, how could her father not see it?

However, this was also a blessing in disguise. Even if her father knew they were cheating, he couldn’t possibly beat him up.

It was just that after this lesson, Chen Feng would definitely not eat alone with her in the future.

He was too careless this time.

“Are you free this afternoon? Let’s go shopping in the city.”

Seeing that Chen Feng didn’t speak and was looking at his phone, Guo Mengyao took the initiative to change the subject.

Chen Feng shook his head directly and refused, “I just went shopping yesterday. I’m not going.”

Guo Mengyao frowned and asked, “What were you doing in the city yesterday?”

Chen Feng looked up at her and said, “I sent Mengting home.”

“Your relationship is really good,” Guo Mengyao said with a hint of jealousy. “Is your relationship with her really just brother and sister?”

“Why are you asking so clearly?” Chen Feng frowned slightly.

Guo Mengyao smiled to cover it up and said in a relaxed tone, “I’m just curious. Can’t I ask?”

“Alright. Let’s not talk about this,” Chen Feng changed the subject and asked, “I want to invest in your company. At least twenty million. How much shares can you give me?”

Guo Mengyao was slightly stunned and said in surprise, “Are you kidding?”

Chen Feng shook his head with a serious face.

After thinking for a while, Guo Mengyao said, “I won’t lie to you. After the company moves from Guangcheng, I can’t guarantee that it will continue to be profitable. And my company’s current market value is indeed about two hundred million. If you really want to invest, and you invest twenty million at once, I can give you 10% of the shares, but the voting rights of your shares must be authorized to me. In addition, you can’t interfere with the company’s management and production operations.”

“In principle, I agree with your plan. The main reason I invested in your company is that I value your character. In addition, of course, there is our friendship. As for your business ability, although I haven’t confirmed it, I think it should not be bad. So, I believe that if I invest money in you, it should be better in the long run. But I definitely have to consider it thoroughly and find a professional to evaluate it before I can make a formal decision.”

Chen Feng didn’t agree at once. Although their relationship was unusual, friendship was friendship, and business was business. The two of them were still relatively clear about it. I believe Guo Mengyao can also understand.

Sure enough, Guo Mengyao was not angry, but nodded in agreement, “Of course. After I move the whole company over, we can have a good talk. You can find a professional to evaluate my company then.”

“Alright then, it’s a deal.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Just at this time, the waiter brought the dishes, and the two began to feast.

They hadn’t eaten breakfast, so they were already hungry at this time. They both ate quickly.

Guo Mengyao was a woman and had to pay a little attention to her image. Chen Feng, on the other hand, was like a whirlwind. He even added rice twice. At least two-thirds of the several dishes he ordered went into his stomach.

And it had to be said, the taste of the food here didn’t seem to have changed much. It felt about the same as when he was in high school. It was all very delicious.

After eating, Chen Feng had another can of Jianlibao. After drinking a few sips in a row, he burped. It was too comfortable.

“You said you wanted to lose weight. You eat so much and drink beverages. Can you lose weight?”

Guo Mengyao said with a look of disgust.

Chen Feng said with a smile, “I had several matches last night and this morning. I consumed so much energy. Of course I have to replenish a lot of energy.”

Hearing this, Guo Mengyao couldn’t help but glare at him angrily. Then she looked back with a guilty conscience, but she didn’t see her father.

“Don’t worry. Your dad went upstairs.”

Chen Feng leaned back in his seat, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and urged, “Are you done eating? If you’re done, let’s go.” “Really. I’m not full yet. Can’t you leave me some dishes?” Guo Mengyao complained.

“I’m doing this for your own good. You have to control your diet. Otherwise, you’ll become a fat girl.”

“Go to hell, where am I fat?” Guo Mengyao glared with dissatisfaction.
Chen Feng said with a smile, “You’re not fat now, just a little fleshy. But if you gain a few more pounds, your figure will be ruined immediately. Haven’t you noticed that you have a little potbelly now?”

Guo Mengyao was instantly angry. She raised the chopsticks in her hand and was about to throw them at him. Chen Feng quickly raised his hands to block.

“Alright, alright, I admit my mistake.”

“You really can’t say anything good. Is that a potbelly? It’s clearly abs.”

Hearing the word “abs,” Chen Feng almost burst out laughing.

She had a C-section, and there was indeed a line on her lower abdomen, which was not very obvious. Chen Feng had touched it with his own hands. At that time, she smiled and said that this line was her abs.

However, to be honest, if she lay flat, her stomach was indeed quite thin. But if she sat down, she would have a little potbelly.

This was also very normal. After all, she would be thirty after the New Year. It was a minority for women of this age not to have a potbelly. Most women had a potbelly after getting married and having children. It was quite rare for someone like her to be so inconspicuous.

In fact, Chen Feng quite liked her little potbelly. It was very comfortable to touch.

“Yes. Abs. But your figure is so good. You still have to try to maintain it. You can’t eat too much.”

Chen Feng held back his laughter and said in a serious tone.

“Nagging, do you need to tell me? I practice yoga every day now.”

Although she said so, she still put down her chopsticks and didn’t eat the few mouthfuls of rice left in her bowl.

“Let’s go.”

Guo Mengyao stood up and called Chen Feng.

The two quickly left the Ruyi Building and got into her BMW X6.

“Why don’t we go see a movie?” After starting the car, Guo Mengyao suggested.

Chen Feng directly refused, “I have something to do this afternoon. Next time.”

“You’re really a buzzkill. What could you possibly have to do this afternoon?” Guo Mengyao tilted her head and glared at him.

Chen Feng glanced at her and said frankly, “I’m going to see Yujiao’s parents.”

“What? You… you’re going to see her parents? Didn’t you say last time that you didn’t plan to get married?”

Guo Mengyao was shocked and a little dissatisfied.

After all, they were old classmates and friends with benefits. Chen Feng explained a little, “I’m her boyfriend now, helping her deal with her family’s forced marriage.”

Hearing this, Guo Mengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer asked about the details and nodded, “I see. Then you should help her. After all, she’s your mistress.”

“Not a mistress, a temporary girlfriend.”

“Tsk! A temporary girlfriend.”

Chen Feng was too lazy to argue with her about this title and said directly, “Take me back to the hotel.”

Guo Mengyao suddenly said, “I’m not going to the hotel for now. I’ll drop you off at the roundabout. You can take a taxi back yourself.”

Chen Feng glanced at her and said nonchalantly, “Alright.”

Guo Mengyao didn’t expect Chen Feng to agree so readily. She was suddenly angry in her heart, but she couldn’t say much. She just unconsciously stepped on the accelerator.

Chen Feng was too lazy to care about her and looked at his phone with his head down.

Lin Yujiao asked him on WeChat when he would be back. Chen Feng replied: Half an hour.

Wu Mengting sent him a few photos of health products for the elderly and asked Chen Feng to help her choose. Chen Feng typed back: Whatever.

Wu Mengting immediately sent a dissatisfied emoji. Chen Feng ignored it.

Sun Xiaorui also sent him a few photos. Chen Feng looked at them and didn’t reply.

He opened his Moments and scrolled through them. He happened to see a beautified photo posted by Sun Xiaorui and gave it a like.

At this time, the car suddenly braked and stopped. Guo Mengyao said in a cold tone, “We’re here. Get out.”

Chen Feng looked up at her and smiled slightly, “Then I’ll get out.”

Guo Mengyao didn’t respond. Chen Feng leaned over to kiss her, but was blocked by her hand. She looked as if she was keeping him at a distance.

“Alright, get out quickly,” Guo Mengyao said with some impatience.

This sudden change made Chen Feng speechless. He wouldn’t spoil her, nor would he beg her. After all, the two were just running buddies, not a couple.

He immediately unbuckled his seat belt, then opened the car door, and got out without a word of nonsense.

Seeing Chen Feng leave so readily, Guo Mengyao couldn’t help but get even angrier. She angrily slammed her hand on the steering wheel several times until her hand hurt. Then she drove away angrily.

She didn’t know why she was suddenly so angry. She wouldn’t admit that it was because she was jealous of Lin Yujiao.

And although Chen Feng felt that she might be angry because of Lin Yujiao, he would not deliberately accommodate her.

His definition of her was still relatively clear. That is, old classmates plus friends with benefits, not a couple, not even a lover relationship.

He deliberately confessed his afternoon arrangements to her to remind her not to treat him as a lover or even a boyfriend.

They could eat, drink, and play together, but they couldn’t talk about feelings, at most they could talk about friendship.

Chen Feng felt that after today, it was time to let their relationship cool down to avoid crossing the line.

He was lucky. Just after getting out of Guo Mengyao’s car, he walked to the side of the road for a while, and an empty taxi came. He hailed it and arrived at the Yujing Grand Hotel in less than ten minutes.

He took his own car and quickly came to a nearby bank. There were not many people, so he didn’t have to queue. He successfully withdrew two hundred thousand in cash, twenty bundles, wrapped in newspaper, and put it in a black plastic bag.

After leaving the bank, he casually put the black plastic bag in the trunk and drove back to Qingpu Town.

Lin Yujiao was waiting at home early. As soon as Chen Feng called, she hurried out of the rental house and quickly got into his car.

“What gifts do your parents like? I’ll buy them on the way to your town.”

After starting the car, Chen Feng asked.

Lin Yujiao answered honestly, “They like money the most. Gifts are whatever.”

Chen Feng smiled, “Alright then. I’ve brought the money. When we get to the town, I’ll just buy some gifts for the visit.”

“Ah. You brought the money? Two hundred thousand?”

Although Lin Yujiao was somewhat mentally prepared, she was still shocked.
