Chen Feng didn't hide it and said with a smile: "He thinks his uncle is being investigated because of . So he asked for help."
"So... is it because of you..." Sun Xiaorui couldn't help but want to dig further.
Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, saying: "Enough. Knowing the reason is good enough, no need to dig deeper. Next, regarding this house, there are still things you need to handle, like changing the water and electricity account nas, and also changing the lock on the front door. It's a bit late today, so do it tomorrow. If there's anything else you think needs to be done, feel free to take initiative."
Sun Xiaorui obediently nodded, not asking more questions.
That night, they didn't stay at the East Lake Garden but returned to No. 8 Villa.
The next day, the weather was nice, sunny, and fresh.
Chen Feng, who hadn't gone out for a morning run for two days, went for a run today.
And just as he feared before, he ran into Hong Xiaodan, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
She was also doing her morning run. When they ran towards each other, Hong Xiaodan was very calm, showing no surprise or delight, just nodded politely at him, and before Chen Feng could react, she ran past him.
This made Chen Feng feel relieved and a bit surprised. She wasn't pestering him anymore, which was… quite nice.
Then, in the afternoon, he received a call from Hong Xiaodan. After hesitating a bit, he answered it.
"Chen Feng, I want to invite you to dinner tonight. At my place, I want to introduce my boyfriend to you."
Chen Feng was instinctively going to refuse, but hearing that she actually had a boyfriend, he was quite surprised and couldn't help asking, "You have a boyfriend now?"
"Yeah. I've co to understand that you can't force feelings, and loving soone shouldn't be forced. Since you don't like and I happened to et soone who I'm attracted to and who actively pursued , what could I do? Of course, I chose to accept. I apologize for my immaturity in the past any inconvenience I caused you. I'm really sorry."
Listening to her, Chen Feng felt sowhat uncomfortable. He never intended to accept her advances. Even when she ca to him, Chen Feng dared not proceed for fear of trouble, for fear of being shackled by marriage again.
But he clearly rembered how she cried and vowed in front of him, claiming she wouldn't stop until she had him, and yet, not too long after that, she has a boyfriend.
Heh, won!
"Alright then. What ti tonight?"
"Around 7 PM. My boyfriend used to live and study in Los Angeles, so he's used to having dinner around 7 or 8 PM."
Chen Feng curled his lips and couldn't help saying: "Over there, it's normal to have dinner around 7 or 8 PM since it's still bright outside. Here, it gets dark at 6 PM."
"Then... let's have dinner at 6 PM."
"Alright, I'll be there then."
...
If she didn't have a boyfriend, Chen Feng would definitely not accept such an invitation. But given she now has a boyfriend and even apologized, Chen Feng felt it was inappropriate to refuse her this ti.
Besides, Chen Feng was genuinely curious about what her boyfriend was like.
Ti passed quickly, and at 5:30, Sun Xiaorui returned ho, saying the procedures for East Lake Garden were all done, and the lock was changed. Additionally, she bought so daily necessities and put them there.
In short, they could move in anyti. Lastly, considerately handed the new keys to Chen Feng without keeping a set for herself.
This satisfied Chen Feng, so he gave her a set.
Chen Feng first accompanied her for a light al and told her about Hong Xiaodan inviting him to a dinner, saying that Hong Xiaodan already had a boyfriend and wanted to introduce him.
Chen Feng asked if she wanted to co along, but Sun Xiaorui declined. She's not one to enjoy gatherings, and besides, Hong Xiaodan knew her identity, and they weren't on friendly terms, which could make for an awkward eting.
Chen Feng didn't insist. When it was around 6 PM, he took a bottle of red wine and headed to Hong Xiaodan's villa.
In less than three minutes, he was at the door. He rang the bell, and soon Han Shipei ca to open the door.
"Brother Feng, you're here, please co in."
Seeing her there made Chen Feng feel a bit surprised but more at ease. Otherwise, facing Hong Xiaodan and her boyfriend alone later might feel a bit awkward.
"Is Little Dan's boyfriend already here? How did they et?"
As Chen Feng changed shoes at the entrance, he surveyed the inside, not seeing Hong Xiaodan and her boyfriend in the living room.
"Yes, he's here, upstairs. They first t online, it's been two or three years, and they've only t in person a few months ago. After that, he started to pursue Little Dan intensely.
You know, Little Dan was just getting over a heartbreak, so he seized the opportunity. It was his luck too, otherwise he might not have been able to win her over.
Of course, he is quite an excellent match himself. Though his family isn't as affluent as Little Dan's, they're quite well-off, have several properties in Xiu Zhou, and he's the only child. Also, he looks very handso, stands 1.88m tall, with a strong build, frequently works out, and has an eight-pack.
His education is also comndable, graduated from the University of California, now runs an internet company that's doing well. Heard quite a few venture capitalists have invested in his company."
After Han Shipei's introduction, even though Chen Feng felt a little uncomfortable inside, he had to admit the guy was indeed impressive.
Just as Chen Feng sat on the couch, Hong Xiaodan and her boyfriend ca down one after the other.
"Chen Feng, you ca." Hong Xiaodan greeted Chen Feng warmly and then turned to her boyfriend, saying, "Tom, this is the friend I told you about. My mom and his aunt are best friends. We are also neighbors now."
Her boyfriend indeed looked very handso, standing tall indeed at 1.88m, with a strong build, the kind of man who looks lean in clothes and muscular without them, a natural clotheshorse, much better built than Chen Feng.
More importantly, he was younger, looking at most 25 years old.
"Hi, Chen Feng, nice to et you. I'm Tang Weicai, but you can call Tom; all my friends do."
His greeting was cheerful and friendly towards Chen Feng.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stood up and replied with a smile, "Nice to et you too. No wonder Little Dan accepted your pursuit; you do look quite good."
eting this person in person, Chen Feng had to concede. Handso looks, good family background, a promising future, and young—Hong Xiaodan indeed found it difficult to resist his pursuit.
