It's really rare to see soone from the South, especially a southern woman, who can eat spicy food like Jin Xinyan.
During dinner, when Jin Xinyan directly put a whole red chili pepper in her mouth and chewed it, Chen Feng couldn't help but admire her. Before, Chen Feng really didn't know that she could eat spicy food so well.
After asking, he learned that her grandmother is from Qian Province, known for being the toughest and most formidable when it cos to eating spicy food, even more so than Sichuan Province locals.
Jin Xinyan was raised by her grandmother when she was young, so naturally, she developed a taste for spicy food and can eat it very well. When she was with Chen Feng, they hadn't actually had many als together, and even when they did, she would cater to Chen Feng's southern palate, so they didn't eat much spicy food.
When Pei Lei saw Jin Xinyan eating spicy food, seemingly better than her, she imdiately felt a connection. Over the years in Xiu Zhou, she hadn't t many people who love spicy food. Finally eting soone around her age, she naturally cherished it, and they quickly started chatting.
Seeing them get along so quickly, Qin Zhen was quite pleased and couldn't help but have a few more drinks with Chen Feng.
This ti, since there was nothing scheduled for the evening, they stayed longer at Qin Zhen's place, arriving at about seven and leaving after ten.
Jin Xinyan intentionally wanted to befriend Pei Lei not just because Qin Zhen and Chen Feng had gone abroad together to rescue her dad but also because Qin Zhen and Chen Feng were good friends, true bro.
Becoming a friend of Chen Feng's future wife's best friend is certainly beneficial for her future romantic endeavors.
Moreover, after interacting with Pei Lei, Jin Xinyan also appreciated Pei Lei's personality. They shared many common topics, so befriending her wasn't forced, nor did she feel the need to reject her.
On their way back, Jin Xinyan said, "Pei Lei's personality is really nice, it's very easy to get along with her. She has no hidden intentions, but she's emotionally intelligent, not one to say things people hate to hear, yet you don't find her fake; instead, she feels genuine. She's not pretentious and doesn't spend excessively. I noticed her costics are quite ordinary, she doesn't carry na-brand handbags, and her clothes and shoes are all regular brands.
Qin Zhen marrying her ans he won't have to worry about her being wasteful. Also, I don't see any signs of depression in her; she actually seems quite optimistic and cheerful. I hope she keeps smiling and won't have a relapse."
Before coming over, Chen Feng had already ntioned Pei Lei's situation to her, so Jin Xinyan initially felt a bit sympathetic towards her.
"Qin Zhen is my best friend, and Pei Lei will be his wife in the future. I hope you can get along well with her, ideally be her close friend. If by chance she gets emotionally down in the future, you can help advise her."
For his good buddy Qin Zhen's future family happiness, Chen Feng was quite dedicated.
Jin Xinyan imdiately assured, "Don't worry, I will get along well with her and beco close friends."
anwhile, Pei Lei was talking with Qin Zhen about them too.
"How many won does Chen Feng have? Besides the two we saw today?"
Pei Lei now felt more surprised than disdain. Although she knew Chen Feng was wealthy, she didn't expect that the won he chose were all so nice and could all get along with her. Today, eting Sun Xiaorui and Jin Xinyan, made her feel quite connected.
Qin Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not very clear on the exact number of won he has. But besides these two, he promised to introduce you to two more, one of whom is his college classmate, the class beauty, very pretty, and the other is from our hotown, oh, she's recently participating in a good voice contest here in Xiu Zhou. If you're interested, you should be able to et her in the next few days."
"Participating in the good voice contest? Is she also his woman?" Pei Lei asked, a bit shocked.
"Yes, she is. She's quite pretty too, has a nice temperant, I've t her."
Pei Lei frowned and said, "Isn't there another Wu ngting from your hotown? This adds up to five. That's quite... extravagant, isn't it? I thought he had at most three or four."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen could only chuckle inwardly, thinking, he has more than just five won.
"He really is quite extravagant like this! I've told him more than once, but his previous romantic relationships didn't go well; he got divorced, suffered a lot, and perhaps this self-indulgence and compensatory ntality are taking over now."
Qin Zhen naturally didn't want Pei Lei to have any negative opinions about his good buddy, so he quickly tried to defend Chen Feng.
Pei Lei took a deep breath and said, "Even if he's been hurt in love, he shouldn't be like this, actually dating so many won at the sa ti, that's really too much."
Qin Zhen continued to defend Chen Feng, saying, "You can't say he's over the line; he's a bit extravagant but not a slag. After all, he is dating them simultaneously, and they are all aware of each other. To put it bluntly, it's Chen Feng's personal charm and financial power that have these won willingly in relationships with him, even if he has others, they don't seem to mind."
Pei Lei slightly shook her head, saying, "I still find it a bit hard to accept. You... you should not follow in his footsteps."
Qin Zhen raised his hand imdiately as a guarantee, "Rest assured, even though we're friends, my situation is completely different from his. And he wasn't like this before his divorce; he was quite honest and simple, quite loving with his wife. But post-divorce, suddenly coming into a lot of money, he's changed, so it's more like a major shift in personality."
"How did he end up divorcing his wife?" Pei Lei asked, a bit curious.
Qin Zhen speculated, "I haven't asked specifically, but it seems due to his difficult ti at work back then, not earning well, conflicts slowly arose with his wife, leading to argunts, then eventually leading to divorce."
"Then his wife was really unfair. When a husband faces work difficulties and doesn't earn much, it's more important for her to comfort and encourage him, to think of a solution together rather than arguing with him."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen imdiately flattered, "My wife sure knows how to take care of people."
Pei Lei promptly changed her tone, saying, "For them to reach the point of divorce, it couldn't just be his wife at fault; he surely carries so responsibility too."
"Yes, yes!" Qin Zhen agreed without principle, "Marriage is a matter between two people; failure can't be entirely one party's fault."
Pei Lei looked at him and said softly, "If we're married, if you want to divorce , unless you kill , I won't agree."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen imdiately raised his hand again in assurance, "I swear, if I marry you, I will be wholeheartedly devoted to you, caring and loving you all my life."
His devoted manner was completely fitting, a genuine reflection.
Pei Lei was instantly moved, throwing herself into his arms, and they tightly embraced each other.
