After the divorce, I started to transfer

Gong Huize held her phone in both hands, looking down at it with a faint smile on her lips, appearing quiet and well-behaved, which left Chen Feng speechless with indescribable frustration.

She was as docile as a kitten at this moment, but she was completely different from the sharp and sharp Gong Huize in his memory. This pretentious performance made people want to ask: What are you pretending for?
So, the two of them looked down at their phones, not exchanging glances, let alone speaking to each other.

About ten minutes passed quietly. A man across from her, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, slowly opened a bag of potato chips. After casually chewing a few bites, he handed the bag of chips to Gong Huize with what he thought was a charming smile: "Beautiful lady, would you like some?"

Gong Huize was taken aback for a moment, a hint of wariness flashing in his bright eyes, before he shook his head without hesitation and declined, "No, thank you."

The seating arrangement they were in was unusual on the high-speed train; it was a two-person, opposite-each-other layout with a small folding table in between. This seating design was originally intended to make it convenient for families or close friends to chat, play cards, or pass the time during their journey.

However, if there are fewer than four or six people traveling together, it is inevitable to face strangers, which most people will feel a little awkward, especially between people of the opposite sex.

Chen Feng was in a rush that morning, and since the journey from Shanghai to Xiuzhou was only a little over an hour, he didn't bother choosing seats and just randomly picked an available ticket and placed the order. At this moment, he and Gong Huize were sitting side by side, and the two people opposite them were complete strangers.

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses carried a high-quality laptop bag and wore a well-tailored business suit. His every move exuded the aura of a business elite, and he was clearly a business person who was often on the go.

Sitting next to him was an elderly man in his fifties, his hair streaked with white with age, his face honest and simple, his clothes plain and simple, just like any ordinary person you would see on the street, with nothing about him that attracted attention.

The businessman had only taken his seat a few minutes earlier, so he missed the scene of Gong Huize paying extra to change seats. After boarding the bus, Chen Feng and Gong Huize remained silent, deliberately keeping their distance from each other, looking like two complete strangers.

Seeing that Gong Huize was exceptionally beautiful and happened to be sitting opposite him, the businessman couldn't suppress the urge to strike up a conversation. After enduring for a few minutes, he finally broke the silence.

He was quite confident in his appearance and considered himself experienced in flirting and dating, so he expected to be rejected.

After being refused the potato chips, he remained calm and collected. After withdrawing his hand, he asked in a natural tone, "I'm going to Xiuzhou, are you going to Xiuzhou too?"

Gong Huize slightly raised his head, glanced at him indifferently, but did not give any response.

Although a hint of embarrassment flashed across the businessman's face, he was thick-skinned enough to say with a grin, "You look a lot like a friend of mine. Her surname is Chen. Is your surname also Chen?"

This time, Gong Huize didn't even bother to give him a glance.

The businessman was furious, but he couldn't show it. He could only force a smile and say casually, "A beautiful woman like you, do you often get hit on? That's why you're so wary. But I'm really not a bad person. Here, this is my business card, you can take a look."

As he spoke, he pulled out a gold-embossed business card from a hidden compartment on the outside of his laptop bag and handed it to Gong Huize.

Gong Huize naturally wouldn't accept his business card. She glanced at him helplessly, then suddenly leaned to the side, moving closer to Chen Feng and taking his arm with both hands, resting most of her body on him.

The businessman opposite him stared wide-eyed, frozen in place, his face filled with shock.

"He's my boyfriend, so you understand now?" Gong Huize's tone was filled with undisguised disdain.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was speechless. He wanted to deny it, but that would be inappropriate in this situation. He could only sigh inwardly, thinking that Gong Huize was truly adept at seizing opportunities and going with the flow.

The businessman was truly embarrassed. He stiffly withdrew his hand from handing over the business card and smiled apologetically at Chen Feng: "Sorry, buddy, I didn't know you two were a couple. I saw you sitting together for ages without exchanging a word, and I thought you were strangers. I'm really sorry."

Gong Huize frowned, her tone tinged with displeasure: "We haven't spoken for just a few minutes, and you've already judged us to be strangers? What kind of eyes do you have? Can't you see that we're a handsome man and a beautiful woman?"

The businessman smiled awkwardly, his eyes filled with a mixture of jealousy and envy as he looked at Chen Feng, but he still went along with the conversation and said, "Yes, yes, you two are indeed a good match."

Chen Feng frowned, gently nudged Gong Huize with his arm, and said impatiently, "Alright, let go."

At this moment, Gong Huize was almost pressed against Chen Feng's body. He could clearly feel her soft body and smell a faint fragrance around his nose.

Other men might have been captivated by her beauty, given Gong Huize's striking looks and alluring figure. But Chen Feng felt only discomfort and awkwardness, far outweighing any enjoyment.

In his view, Gong Huize was deep and calculating, and her every move exuded the air of a young lady from a wealthy family. More importantly, she was already taken, all of which were far from his criteria for choosing a partner.

Moreover, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel displeased that she was so willing to use him as a shield. If the roles were reversed, this would probably be considered sexual harassment.

Gong Huize noticed Chen Feng's displeasure and, fearing he might anger him, quickly and awkwardly let go of his hand, putting on a pitiful expression: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please don't be angry. I'll apologize to you when we get to Xiuzhou."

Chen Feng glanced at her coldly but didn't reply.

The businessman opposite Chen Feng felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and even a touch of admiration as he watched Chen Feng treat Gong Huize.

In his mind, there are very few beauties like Gong Huize. If he had a girlfriend like her, he would cherish her and pamper her. He would never treat her like Chen Feng, who is so indifferent.

But Chen Feng, an ordinary person who also sits in second class, not only has such a beautiful girlfriend, but he also has her completely under his control, making her take the initiative to admit her mistakes and apologize. How can this not make people envious and jealous!
The businessman couldn't help but advise, "Dude, since your girlfriend has apologized, you should forgive her. Be a man, be more magnanimous."

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him, not bothering to pay him any attention.

Gong Huize, however, seemed to be having a dramatic moment, and continued to embellish the story, putting on a pitiful appearance: "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to persuade me anymore. It's all my fault. I said things I shouldn't have said before, which made him angry."

Upon hearing this, the businessman's envy was practically overflowing.

In his mind, it was always the man who made a mistake and then humbly tried to appease his girlfriend. This situation was completely shattering his understanding. Especially since Gong Huize was such a beautiful woman, always a goddess admired by everyone, he had almost never seen such a gender-reversed scene in real life. At this moment, the kind-looking old man beside him couldn't help but speak up and advise Chen Feng: "Young man, since your girlfriend knows she was wrong, you should forgive her. You should cherish such a beautiful and wonderful girlfriend."

Chen Feng felt a wave of helplessness. He turned to look at Gong Huize, intending to give her a stern scolding, but seeing her hands clasped together in a pleading gesture, her large eyes blinking like an innocent fawn, he swallowed back the harsh words he was about to utter. In the end, he could only sternly warn her, "You sit quietly and don't cause any trouble."

"Yes, ma'am. I'll sit quietly and not say a word." Gong Huize immediately reverted to his obedient demeanor, picked up his phone and started playing intently. His obedient appearance would probably make anyone who didn't know the situation feel sorry for him.

Seeing this, the businessman's eyes nearly turned red with envy and jealousy. He was itching to ask Chen Feng for "tips on how to seduce women," but Chen Feng was only looking down at his phone and completely ignored him.

Furthermore, being in a high-speed train carriage was not an appropriate setting, and even if he asked, Chen Feng might not tell him, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.

The high-speed train sped along the tracks, the journey from Shanghai to Xiuzhou taking only an hour and twenty minutes. Chen Feng read a few updated chapters of online novels, checked the news, and scrolled through short videos; time slipped by unnoticed.

When the announcement in the carriage announced that Xiuzhou was about to arrive, the businessman opposite him stood up, holding his phone, leaned slightly forward, and said with a big smile, "Brother, it's fate that we met. Can we add each other on WeChat?"

Chen Feng was genuinely surprised that the businessman wanted to add his contact information instead of Gong Huize's.

However, after a moment's thought, he understood the other party's intentions. This businessman probably didn't want to add Gong Huize as a friend in front of his "boyfriend," so he chose a roundabout tactic.

This situation is very similar to that joke: "Your wife is so beautiful, I'm definitely going to be your friend."

"No need," Chen Feng said coldly, refusing without hesitation under the other party's expectant gaze.

The businessman's smile froze instantly. After a long while, he snorted coldly and sat back down dejectedly.

Seeing the businessman's embarrassment, Gong Huize couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The sudden laughter attracted the attention of the other three people present. Gong Huize then realized what was happening, covered his mouth somewhat embarrassedly, and hurriedly explained, "Sorry, I just saw a joke and couldn't help but laugh."

The businessman glared at her, then lowered his head and pretended to look at his phone, no longer wanting to pay attention to the "couple" opposite him.

Soon, they arrived at Xiuzhou Station. The two dragged their suitcases off the train and, after exiting the station, Gong Huize spoke first: "Did you send someone to pick you up?"

"No, it's too much trouble to have them drive over. I'll just take a taxi back myself," Chen Feng said, taking out his phone to call a ride-hailing service.

Gong Huize then followed up with, "Where do you live?"

Chen Feng looked at her warily, secretly wondering: Could she be so tactless as to want to come to my house as a guest?
He retorted bluntly, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'd like to find a hotel near your house. That way it'll be more convenient for you to come with me when you're free, don't you think?" Gong Huize put on that aggrieved look again, his eyes full of expectation.

Chen Feng said without any mercy, "I told you I don't have time for you. What's the point of you clinging to me like this?"

"I'm not clinging to you, it's just that I don't know anyone here, and you're my only friend, so I wanted to stay closer to you." Gong Huize looked at Chen Feng with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with innocence.

"This is really pointless. I know you're interested in me, but to be honest, you're not my type. Besides, you have a boyfriend, so I definitely won't touch you. So, if you're thinking of seducing me, you can give up. You don't hold much appeal for me." Chen Feng didn't want to get entangled with her any longer and made his point clear.

Chen Feng's blunt words were like a sharp blade, piercing Gong Huize's pride.

She suppressed her anger and didn't explode on the spot, but her tone was still full of resentment: "I admit I have some feelings for you, but how did I seduce you? Do you think you're so attractive? If a beauty like me really wanted to find a man, I could find a high-quality man in no time."

"Since you didn't intend to seduce me, then don't contact me again. To be honest, we've only met twice, we're really not that close." With that, Chen Feng pulled his suitcase and turned to leave.

Gong Huize was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled her suitcase and jogged to catch up: "Chen Feng, you've gone too far. You promised me you'd treat me well when I came to Xiuzhou, and this is how you treat me?"

"That's enough. I'm really not interested in you. It's even more pointless for you to keep bothering me." Chen Feng's tone was full of impatience.

Upon hearing this, Gong Huize's face instantly turned cold: "I've come all the way to Xiuzhou with you, so you have to take responsibility to the end. First of all, you either have to take me home to stay, or arrange a decent hotel for me. Also, you promised me that you would treat me to authentic Xiuzhou cuisine, so you have to keep your word."

Chen Feng was always a reasonable person, and after she said that, he couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment. As a straightforward and trustworthy person, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll take you to a five-star hotel now, and then in a couple of days when I'm done with my work, I'll treat you to authentic local cuisine."

"Okay, then take me to the hotel first."

Chen Feng said no more, quickly called a ride-hailing service on his phone, and took Gong Huize to the hotel.

He easily chose the Xiuzhou International Hotel, a five-star hotel he was quite familiar with. At the hotel reception, Chen Feng helped Gong Huize check in and even paid for five nights' accommodation in advance.

Just as Chen Feng was about to leave, Gong Huize looked at him defiantly and asked, "Do you dare to escort me to my room?"

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her, didn't respond, picked up his suitcase, and strode towards the hotel entrance.

Behind him came Gong Huize's mocking voice: "Coward!"

Chen Feng ignored them, continued walking out of the hotel, got back into the ride-hailing car, and started his journey home. (End of Chapter)
