After leaving the police station, both of them hadn’t had lunch yet, so they found a noodle shop nearby to eat.

Although Chen Feng had things on his mind, his appetite was still good. He finished a large bowl of pork rib noodles, with two extra ribs and two fried eggs, and still felt not quite full.

But for now, it was enough; he shouldn’t eat too much.

After leaving the noodle shop and getting back into the car, Chen Feng finally spoke to Cheng Yuhuan, "Your car should be parked over in Yuelou Town, right? I’ll take you there first."

He had been preoccupied with his thoughts and hadn’t spoken much to Cheng Yuhuan. Seeing that Chen Feng was in a mood, Cheng Yuhuan didn’t force conversation either, playing the perfect companion.

"Alright, thank you." Cheng Yuhuan quickly agreed and then took the opportunity to comfort him, "You don’t need to worry about that murderer anymore, he’s already been caught, he won’t escape now. And as for that accomplice you know, the police went to catch him too, so you can be at ease."

Cheng Yuhuan thought he was worried about Gao Xinfu’s accomplice.

Chen Feng didn’t explain much to her, just smiled and said, "Thanks for your concern."

After expressing his thanks, Chen Feng said, "I’m sorry you got dragged into my troubles today. When I return to Xiu Zhou, I’ll help you look for suitable houses and shops there. Buying them will definitely be a good investment."

Chen Feng could only express his apologies this way since Cheng Yuhuan had indeed been frightened because of him today. He felt he should make it up to her.

"Great, let me know as soon as you hear anything. If there’s a suitable property, I’ll definitely buy it."

Cheng Yuhuan was pleased. Though Chen Feng had promised to help look for properties in Xiu Zhou before, she wasn’t sure how seriously he took it.

Now that Chen Feng reiterated his promise, it meant he would definitely take it seriously.

Chen Feng added, "You saw what happened today. If you keep following me, there might be other dangers. I think if you have nothing urgent, you should return to Le City sooner than later."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuhuan was slightly displeased and said, "Didn’t you just turn danger into safety? I only got a little scared; it’s no big deal. I’m not that easily frightened. Back in the day, I also survived in society. Besides, you manually subdued the murderer today, breaking his arm with one move. I thought it was really manly; your fighting skills are impressive.

So now, being with you, I actually feel very safe. If we parted ways now, and I was alone, I’d probably be quite scared, might even have nightmares at night. Why don’t you stay with me tonight? Otherwise, I might really be very scared."

As she finished speaking, Cheng Yuhuan looked at Chen Feng with hopeful eyes, her expression gentle.

Chen Feng sensed her gaze and the hint in her words, and replied, not entirely pleased, "You’re deliberately trying to seduce me, wanting me to make a mistake. If you keep this up, I won’t dare contact you again."

Cheng Yuhuan, hearing this, looked at him with slight disdain and said, "Coward, I won’t eat you, why are you so afraid of me?"

Chen Feng retorted, "Do you think I’m afraid of you? I’m talking about principles and morals here. Don’t forget you have a husband and kids. I don’t want to be a third party and ruin someone else’s marriage."

Cheng Yuhuan mocked herself, "Does my marriage really need someone else to ruin it? Last time at the teahouse, I video-called him, and you saw, he didn’t care who I was with. I told him I was going to Shen City with a guy, and he agreed without thinking. Do you think it’s because he trusts me?"

Last time, her husband agreed without hesitation for her to go to Shen City with Chen Feng, which surprised him. Hearing her words now, he somewhat understood and couldn’t help asking, "Is yours an open marriage? That’s quite progressive."

An open marriage typically means each spouse can have other partners without interfering in each other’s private life.

This kind of relationship has become popular in the West in recent years, touted by some celebrities as promoting equality and sexual freedom.

But in the domestic context, such a relationship is often seen as a moral and ethical failure, not widely accepted by the public.

In reality, such relationships aren’t uncommon domestically; many just don’t know it.

Especially among wealthy circles, either when the husband or wife is wealthy, or when it’s a family-arranged marriage, open relationships are more likely.

When a man’s wealth and power reach a certain level, it’s hard for him to remain devoted unless he’s celibate or incapable. With so much temptation and people vying for his attention, it’s nearly impossible for him not to slip up eventually.

In certain environments, or after a few drinks, or when meeting an attractive individual, discretion often fails.

Once infidelity occurs, it tends to happen repeatedly. The wife will eventually notice.

In the past, a wife might have silently endured, but not anymore. Today, no wife silently endures forever; things eventually escalate.

Thus, they either get divorced, retaliate by cheating, or both lead their own separate lives.

Especially those wives who are also strong in their own right tend to maintain an open marriage without divorcing.

"No, that’s not it." Cheng Yuhuan quickly denied, fearing Chen Feng would misunderstand, and explained, "Since I got married, I haven’t done anything to betray my husband."

"Then what did you mean earlier?" Chen Feng asked, perplexed.

Cheng Yuhuan said, "Just what I said. My husband isn’t afraid I’ll cheat or run off with someone because he’s confident I can’t leave him."

Chen Feng curiously asked, "Can you not leave him?"

Cheng Yuhuan sneered, "He’s far too confident, thinking because he has a few billion, and we signed a prenup, I won’t get much if we divorce. He’s very protective of his money, and I can’t squeeze much from him. So, he assumes I’ll always try to please and rely on him."

Chen Feng laughed, "Not bad, your husband is quite the PUA master."

After giving him a sideways glance, Cheng Yuhuan said, "He is pretty good at picking up women, very good with words and making grand promises. Initially, I pursued him, but then he took the lead, especially after I got pregnant, or else I might not have married him given he’s over ten years older. He managed to persuade me to sign a prenup. If my looks alone are anything to go by, finding a younger billionaire wouldn’t be hard."

Hearing her confident, almost boastful words, Chen Feng found it hard to argue because she really did have that capability.
