Chen Feng’s recent words really irritated Lin Yujiao. What did he an by "sort of girlfriend"? What did he an by "wait until we break up"? And even more outrageous was asking Qin Zhen to help her find a husband.
"I’m not talking nonsense," Chen Feng said earnestly to Lin Yujiao, "We agreed before. If you find the right person, we’d break up. But your taste in n is really not that great, so, I want Ah Zhen to check them out for you. After all, he’s a police officer and can investigate soone easily. You understand what I an, right?"
With that explanation, Lin Yujiao understood and felt a mix of being moved and more lost than ever.
To be honest, she was actually quite satisfied with Chen Feng. It wasn’t about whether he was wealthy or not; just his character and appearance fully t her standards for a partner.
However, Chen Feng had made it clear from the start that he was all kidney and no heart with her, treating her quite well but without any intention of marrying her.
"So, that’s what it’s about. I thought you wanted to set her up with soone," Qin Zhen laughed, "I’ve never set anyone up before, especially not won."
Chen Feng said, "Never done before doesn’t an you can’t try in the future. You could ask your family to keep an eye out. Yu Jiao used to run a store in the county seat and lived there for many years. She just moved to Qingpu Town a few months ago after getting divorced, and opened a clothing store. She’ll be twenty-eight after the new year, with no children."
Qin Zhen was speechless as he looked at Chen Feng, finally admitting with reluctant admiration, "Bro, you’re really generous. I definitely couldn’t do this—setting up a still not yet ex-girlfriend with soone else, hats off to you."
Chen Feng corrected with a laugh, "I said to introduce her after we break up, not now. We haven’t broken up yet."
"Got it. Let know when you guys break up in the future, I’ll ask my mom to keep an eye out. With Yu Jiao’s looks and no children, honestly, it should be easy to find a decent match."
Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but retort, "Enough from both of you. I’m still here. If I really need to find soone in the future, I can do it myself. You don’t need to worry or help."
Chen Feng earnestly said, "Even if you find soone yourself, let and Ah Zhen check him out for you. Otherwise, getting conned could be disastrous."
Lin Yujiao glared at him fiercely and stopped listening to him, returning her attention to her food.
Wu ngting suddenly interjected in the local dialect, "Brother, you are really worrying over nothing. Yu Jiao has such good prospects; what kind of man can’t she find? Do you really need to be like this? You should rather worry about where your own wife is."
Qin Zhen laughed, "ngyao is right. Fengzi, you should focus on your own marriage. Your situation isn’t bad either and you have money; finding soone better than your ex-wife shouldn’t be hard. After the new year, you’ll be thirty years old. If you aren’t worried, your family surely is."
Chen Feng glanced at him annoyed, "As if you’re so young yourself. When do you plan to get married?"
Qin Zhen suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Ning Wei, not understanding the local dialect, looked rather displeased at Qin Zhen.
"Nothing much, just talking," Qin Zhen obviously didn’t want to divulge the private matters of Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao, so he gave a perfunctory response.
Afterward, Wu ngting didn’t exclude Lin Yujiao anymore and pulled her to chat with Ning Wei about celebrity gossip and fashion, finally giving Lin Yujiao topics to engage in.
The five of them ate and drank for over an hour, and everyone was quite full, so they left the buffet.
Chen Feng had initially planned for everyone to go sing karaoke together, but Qin Zhen said he had just returned ho that day and must go back early to check in with his parents, and suggested they hang out another day.
After splitting up with Qin Zhen and Ning Wei, Chen Feng checked the ti—it was just after eight pm, too early to head back. Thus, the plan to sing karaoke continued.
Wu ngting and Lin Yujiao had no objections. Generally, won love to sing, and they were no exception.
They ca back to the sa KTV they had visited before. Because it was peak evening ti, the place was packed; even the small and dium-sized rooms were full, so Chen Feng opted for a large room.
The large room was indeed different, quite spacious, but with only the three of them, the atmosphere felt lacking due to the expanse of space.
Nevertheless, since they had already paid, they definitely wanted to enjoy themselves.
This ti Chen Feng started with a soul-stirring "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven". The beginning was fine, but unfortunately, he flubbed the high notes later on, breaking his voice and causing the two won to burst out in uncontrollable laughter.
Chen Feng was used to this and not embarrassed at all. After the chorus and as soon as the second verse began, it was slightly better, but he broke the high notes again, prompting another round of laughter from the won.
Finally finishing the song, Chen Feng looked at the two won speechlessly, holding the microphone and said, "Can you give a bit of face? Laughing like that is making embarrassed, don’t you know?"
Wu ngting covered her mouth, chuckled, and trying to catch her breath said, "Are you embarrassed? I didn’t notice that at all."
Lin Yujiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, when I ca here with him last ti, his singing was off-key, but he didn’t seem embarrassed at all, his skin is really thick."
"Ah, you guys have been here before?" Wu ngting squinted slightly.
"We have. It was just the other day when I first t him."
"Oh..."
"Alright, it’s your turn to sing now. ngting, you go first."
"Okay, I’ll start." Wu ngting stood up, took the microphone from Chen Feng, and chose her favorite song "Courage," singing it smoothly.
This song wasn’t very difficult and was widely-known, almost everyone had heard it, but that also made it hard to sing with emotion and impress the listeners, since everyone was so familiar with it.
However, Wu ngting sang it with considerable appeal—at least Chen Feng thought so.
Especially the chorus, which she sang with deep emotion.
"True love needs courage to face the slanders, just one affirming glance from you gives my love aning..."
As she sang "Courage," she gazed tenderly at Chen Feng, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the song finally ended. Chen Feng quickly applauded and cheered, and then it was Lin Yujiao’s turn.
Lin Yujiao sang a recently popular old song "Miss You." The song was undoubtedly challenging, but Lin Yujiao perford it effortlessly, impressing both Chen Feng and Wu ngting to the point of applauding and cheering.
After that, Chen Feng didn’t go up to sing again. The two won took turns, and later even sang a duet together.
anwhile, Chen Feng was responsible for cheering them on until he received a WeChat ssage from Guo ngyao, asking if he was still in the city. He replied that he was at the KTV singing.
Then, Guo ngyao ntioned she was also nearby and wanted to join them for so karaoke, asking if she could co.
Although Chen Feng was sowhat reluctant, he couldn’t refuse and gave her the address and room number.
After the two won finished their song, Chen Feng inford them about it.
Both won didn’t say anything, but their expressions clearly showed they were not too keen on having another person join.
Since Chen Feng couldn’t refuse, they couldn’t object either.
For the mont, they stopped singing, sat down together, and started eating snacks and drinking beverages.
Guo ngyao really was nearby, and it took her less than ten minutes to find them.
"Sorry for intruding, I haven’t sung karaoke in a long while. I heard Chen Feng was here and thought I’d join in the fun. You don’t mind, do you?"
Guo ngyao greeted Wu ngting and Lin Yujiao with a smile.
Wu ngting smiled reluctantly and said, "Of course not. We were getting a bit tired of singing, so it’s just the right ti for you to take over."
Lin Yujiao also smiled and said to her, "We’ve booked three hours, and now that you’re here, it’s perfect, otherwise the ti would go to waste."
"That’s good. After we finish singing, I’ll treat you all to a late-night snack," Guo ngyao generously offered.
Chen Feng quickly said, "No need for a late-night snack. We sowhat overate at the buffet earlier."
Wu ngting also said, "Yes, no need. We’re quite full now."
Guo ngyao smiled and suggested, "I’ll take you out for bird’s nest soup, good for beauty and health. Just a small bowl."
The two won’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. Everyone knew the benefits of bird’s nest for won, and they were imdiately tempted.
