"Sure, we've talked enough, let's go have some beauty soup, my treat."

Guo Mengyao checked the time, a little after six in the evening, prime dinner time. But since they had attended a banquet earlier and everyone probably ate a lot, they changed their plan to having soup, especially beauty soup, which women could hardly refuse.

Fang Xiaoyue and Cheng Yuhuan both agreed promptly.

However, Chen Feng had eaten a lot during the banquet and still didn't feel hungry, so he said, "I'm not hungry, I'll pass."

"Not hungry, you should still come with us."

Guo Mengyao insisted forcefully.

Cheng Yuhuan smiled and said, "Yeah, the three of us beautiful ladies need a knight to protect us. Come along."

Chen Feng really didn't want to join them, and declined without hesitation, "You three are adults, why would you need a protector? If anyone bothers you, just call the police."

Cheng Yuhuan rolled her eyes and said, "You really lack romance. It's one thing to not worry about me and Xiaoyue, but Mengyao is your woman now, right? It's late at night, aren't you worried about her safety?"

Chen Feng wasn't surprised that Cheng Yuhuan knew about his relationship with Guo Mengyao, since it had been exposed in the classmates' group by Pu Fangye before. It wasn't something shameful, so it didn't matter if people knew.

Chen Feng glanced at Guo Mengyao, noticing her expression wasn't great, so he asked, "Do you really want me to come along?"

Guo Mengyao nodded, "Of course."

"Alright then, I'll come."

Though Chen Feng may be straightforward, it doesn't mean he lacks emotional intelligence or disregards others' feelings and dignity. Especially now, in front of Cheng Yuhuan and Fang Xiaoyue, his old classmates, he definitely needed to care for Guo Mengyao's emotions and face.

Seeing Chen Feng change his mind and give face like this, Guo Mengyao was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but smile.

She understood Chen Feng's character, so seeing him change his mind at this moment was truly rare, which made her feel very appreciated.

Cheng Yuhuan noticed her reaction, feeling both disdain and a bit envious, and couldn't help but tease, "Look how happy you are. Isn't it natural for a boyfriend to accompany his girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately declared, "I'm not her boyfriend yet."

Cheng Yuhuan burst into laughter, teasing, "Oh, you've already slept together, and she still hasn't accepted you as her boyfriend? Haha, that's quite tragic."

Cheng Yuhuan clearly misunderstood, thinking that Guo Mengyao hadn't officially accepted Chen Feng yet.

Chen Feng opened his mouth but ultimately chose not to argue, as revealing the truth would hurt Guo Mengyao's self-esteem too much.

However, seeing Chen Feng's silence, Guo Mengyao felt a bit moved, and quickly stood up saying, "Alright, let's go."

So, the group left the tearoom, went downstairs, got into their respective cars, and drove to the congee shop that Guo Mengyao directed them to.

This congee shop was located in a bustling area, elegantly decorated, and naturally not cheap. Yet, surprisingly, business was good, with nearly all of the dozen or so tables nearly full. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

It simply showed that even in such a small county, there were quite a few wealthy people, especially when it came to dining where many were willing to spend money.

The three women all ordered beauty-nourishing congee, while Chen Feng, not feeling hungry, didn't order any and just sat next to Guo Mengyao.

"When are you planning to leave tomorrow?"

As they waited for their soup, Cheng Yuhuan asked Chen Feng.

Chen Feng thought about it and replied, "Probably tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright, then we'll book tickets for tomorrow afternoon, let me check."

With that, Cheng Yuhuan picked up her phone and started to book tickets. Looking urgent, she clearly cared a lot about this trip to Shen City.

Soon, she arranged with Chen Feng to book the 1:30 PM flight for the next afternoon, and Chen Feng booked the same flight, then messaged Sun Xiaorui to book hers as well.

After booking the tickets, Cheng Yuhuan smiled and asked, "You mentioned before that Little Rui was going to Shen City with you. Is this Little Rui the same Sun Xiaorui who was the bridesmaid for Qin Zhen's wife today? What's your relationship with her?"

She had been holding back this question for a while, so finally asked it all in one go.

Chen Feng answered candidly, "She's my secretary."

"So, she really is Sun Xiaorui. So your god-sister and secretary were both bridesmaids for Qin Zhen's wife. The other one, I think her name is Li Liqin, what is your relationship with her?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "I have no relationship with her, just normal friends."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuhuan felt relieved; she was really worried that Li Liqin might also have some close relationship with Chen Feng.

Having a god-sister and a secretary, each more beautiful than the last, she really didn't believe Chen Feng didn't have any special relationship with them.

"You do know all three bridesmaids. Do Little Rui and Li Liqin have boyfriends?" Cheng Yuhuan glanced at Chen Feng with an unusual look.

"Why do you care about that?" Chen Feng replied to her irritably.
