Chapter 79: Freeloading a Meal

---

This braised food fried rice restaurant had pretty good reviews online.

After Chen Feng went in, he ordered a plate of “Eight Immortals Fried Rice” and a bowl of white fungus soup, which cost twenty-three yuan in total, not very expensive. However, when the fried rice was served, he felt that the portion was a bit small.

It was served on a plate. The plate looked big, and the fried rice was spread on it, which also made the portion seem quite large.

But in fact, if it were served in a bowl, it would only be a small bowl.

Seventeen yuan for such a small bowl felt a bit expensive.

Especially serving fried rice on a plate made Chen Feng feel like his intelligence was being insulted.

It could only be said that this was a trick merchants used on customers. Just like how supermarkets like to price goods at x.99 yuan, it makes customers feel that it’s not that expensive.

This is the so-called consumer psychology.

The taste of the Eight Immortals Fried Rice was quite good, but Chen Feng finished the whole plate of fried rice in less than two minutes with a spoon. It wasn’t that he ate fast, but the portion was too small, and he always felt a bit ripped off.

He wasn’t short of money, but he didn’t like being ripped off either.

So, after eating for three minutes, even though Chen Feng was only three-tenths full, he didn’t want to eat here anymore.

Of course, Chen Feng felt ripped off, which might be related to his lingering “diaosi” mentality from before.

It might also be related to this being an ordinary Chinese restaurant. If it were a Western restaurant, a steak costing over a hundred yuan might not feel expensive.

In fact, this was also related to Chen Feng’s current preference for home-cooked meals. The dishes cooked by Sun Xiaorui or Wu Mengting were very delicious, and eating their food gave him a great sense of satisfaction and happiness.

This was something that restaurants outside couldn’t provide.

After eating the dishes they cooked, he had no interest in eating out.

Just as he was thinking about this, he received a WeChat message from Wu Mengting.

She asked him if he was free today and if he wanted to go to the art museum.

Of course, Chen Feng was free. Plus, he wasn’t full, so he immediately asked her on WeChat if she had eaten lunch.

At this time, it was actually just past eleven in the morning. If she hadn’t eaten yet, Chen Feng wanted to go over and freeload a meal.

Wu Mengting quickly replied that she hadn’t eaten yet.

Chen Feng was overjoyed and quickly sent a voice message: [That’s great, I haven’t eaten either. I’ll buy some groceries on the way to your place, and you can cook. How about that?]

Wu Mengting also quickly replied with a voice message: [Sure. I was just thinking of going to buy some groceries.]

[OK, I’ll be right there. What groceries should I buy?]

[Just buy whatever you think is good.]

[OK!]

Chen Feng quickly returned to the villa, not taking the original route, but avoiding the scene of the car accident. It wasn’t very far.

On Wu Mengting’s side, Lin Wan at the dining table looked at her speechlessly and said, “Big sister, didn’t we just finish eating? What do you mean you haven’t eaten? I’ve already eaten two bowls. Don’t ask me to eat again later.”

Wu Mengting smiled embarrassedly and said flatteringly, “Help me out. Just pretend to eat a little later.”

Lin Wan couldn’t stand her flattery. After rolling her eyes, she said helplessly, “Alright, alright, I’ll eat a little. But why do you always have to drag me, the third wheel, along when you’re pursuing him? I can leave for a while and let you two have a chance to be alone.”

Wu Mengting’s face turned red, and she said coquettishly, “What are you talking about? I have a good impression of him, but that doesn’t mean I have to have an intimate relationship with him. Before he clearly establishes a romantic relationship with me, I can’t just give myself to him casually.”

“Tch! As if you’re so pure and innocent. Who cares about that hymen anymore? Listen to your big sister, if you want to win him over as soon as possible, you must first establish a substantial relationship with him. If you’re really a virgin, it’s a good opportunity to make him take responsibility afterward, don’t you think?”

“Go away! I’m not that kind of casual person,” Wu Mengting said with a flushed face, dissatisfied.

“If you don’t listen to me, I don’t think you’ll ever win him over.” Lin Wan analyzed with a look of expertise, “First, we can be sure that he is a rich man. We don’t know how much, but I think he can spend tens of thousands a month on a mistress, so he must have at least a few million. And rich men of his age are even rarer.

So, if you meet one, either act decisively, or don’t play ambiguous games with him and waste your own time.

Second, he doesn’t lack women around him now. Although Sun Xiaorui is not with him for the time being, he can always sponsor another mistress to supplement. He said so last time, and I think he probably has this plan.

Therefore, if you continue to drag your feet, it will be even more difficult for you to win him over after he sponsors another one.”

Wu Mengting listened to some of Lin Wan’s words, but after thinking about it seriously for a while, she still shook her head, “I don’t want to go against my principles and my heart. I don’t care what other people think, but I will definitely not be that kind of casual woman.”

“I really give up on you.” Lin Wan put her hand on her forehead, “Since you like him, what’s the big deal about giving him your hymen? Let me tell you, this thing is very powerful when given to the right person. Otherwise, it’s really dispensable. I think Brother Feng is quite reliable. At least he won’t treat his own woman badly. I contacted Sister Sun this morning, and she said that Brother Feng lent her 500,000 for her dad’s surgery this time.”

“Ah, there’s such a thing?” Wu Mengting was a little curious, “Why did she tell you this?”

“I took the initiative to ask. Didn’t I give her the money from the live stream in advance last time? I was afraid she wouldn’t have enough money for her dad’s illness. As a result, she told me that Brother Feng lent her money.”

“Lent, not gave?” Wu Mengting asked.

“What’s the difference? In short, being able to lend her so much money at once shows that Brother Feng is not short of money and is also very loyal. So, if you can really win him over, he will definitely not treat you badly in the future, no matter what. If you hadn’t gotten to him first, I would have wanted to go after him myself.”

Wu Mengting fell silent.

“Think about it yourself.”

Lin Wan patted her on the shoulder and went back to her room.

…

Chen Feng quickly returned home, drove to the wet market first, quickly bought some groceries, and then drove to Wu Mengting’s rented place.

It was only a hundred meters away, so it was very close.

By the time Chen Feng arrived at their rental apartment, less than half an hour had passed.

“You’re here so fast. It seems you live really close to us.”

Wu Mengting, who opened the door, teased with a smile.

After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng said, “It’s quite close, just about a hundred meters. It’s only a few minutes’ walk.”

“Ah. Really?”

Wu Mengting was a little surprised. Although she had thought they lived relatively close, she didn’t expect it to be this close.

“You don’t live in that villa area to the south, do you?”

Lin Wan also heard and came out of her room to ask.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded at her, admitting, “You guessed right.”

“Wow, the villa area over there is all antique-style buildings. They look very comfortable. Every time I pass by, I want to go in and have a look. No, after dinner, you have to take us to your house.”

“Alright.”

Chen Feng readily agreed. The main reason he told them his address was to freeload meals.

Also, of course, he wanted to interact with them normally. As friends.
