After the divorce, I started to transfer

Zhang Yuxi knew that she and Chen Feng would be separated by distance in the future, and that they would have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet. As time went on, their relationship would only become more and more distant, and Chen Feng would become less and less concerned about her.

Therefore, she now cherishes every moment with Chen Feng, wants to seize every opportunity to spend time together, tries her best to leave Chen Feng with beautiful memories, and tries to make Chen Feng's love for her last longer.

To achieve this, besides providing Chen Feng with pleasure and emotional value, she would undoubtedly try to deepen her relationship with him as much as possible.

To win a man's heart, as the saying goes, you must first win his stomach.

That's why she's working so hard to learn cooking skills, but unfortunately, she's usually busy with work and doesn't have much free time to learn.

I relied on the foundation I built in junior high school, plus the cooking videos I found online, and practiced a few home-style dishes repeatedly.

Thus, she only had five dishes that she could be considered presentable, which was just enough to make a four-dish-and-one-soup meal.

Of all the dishes she cooked, she thought the best was this scrambled eggs with tomatoes. First, it was easy to make, and second, she had practiced it the most. Today she only practiced it three or four times, but before that she had practiced it at least thirty times. Practice makes perfect, and with continuous improvement, the taste of this dish was naturally excellent.

Sure enough, Chen Feng felt satisfied after eating it.

But as Chen Feng just said, it's only 2 p.m., and there are still at least three hours until dinner time. She can only wait another two or three hours before Chen Feng can taste the rest of the dishes she cooked.

She could have easily while away two or three hours with Chen Feng, but unfortunately, she had her period today, and Chen Feng didn't seem very interested, so she didn't want to bring up import and export trade with him.

So, after Chen Feng ate a few bites of the tomato and egg stir-fry she cooked and then didn't want to eat anymore, Zhang Yuxi asked Chen Feng to accompany her to a shopping mall not far from their neighborhood to buy some clothes for the changing season.

The two have known each other for so long, but because she is a celebrity and her schedule is always very full, she doesn't have much free time to spend with Chen Feng. Every time they meet, it's a bit rushed, and they basically have a conversation about the yin and yang of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the two have almost never gone shopping together.

To put it simply, the two of them were more interested in each other than in love; there was no romantic feeling between them at all.

Realizing this, and because Zhang Yuxi really didn't want to break up with Chen Feng so soon, she naturally wanted to increase some of the interactions they didn't usually have, such as inviting Chen Feng to eat at her home and cooking for him herself.

For example, her request this time was to go shopping with Chen Feng.

Chen Feng is a rather lazy person these days. He came to see Zhang Yuxi this time because he thought that each time they met would be one less time, since they were quite far apart. Don't say that with today's advanced transportation, it only takes an hour or two to get here by plane.

In fact, anyone who has flown knows that going to the airport, taking the plane, and then getting to your destination after landing are both time-consuming processes. Unless you usually live near the airport and your destination is also very close to the airport.

Otherwise, it's actually quite a hassle.

Not to mention, round-trip airfares are not cheap for ordinary people, and they also have to arrive at the airport one or two hours in advance to wait for their flight.

Therefore, the very real problem is that even if they don't care about the price of airfare now, they still face the reality that it will be more difficult and inconvenient for them to meet in the future.

Many couples who were truly in love end up breaking up because they are in a long-distance relationship. It's not that they stopped loving each other, but the very real issue of distance, as time goes by, prevents them from maintaining their relationship.

Chen Feng and Zhang Yuxi aren't even a couple in love yet. Given the challenges of a long-distance relationship, they'll likely break up even faster than other long-distance couples.

Therefore, Chen Feng cherishes the time he still has with her. It truly is a fleeting moment, one less time he'll have to see her.

Chen Feng felt that even if he didn't initiate the breakup in the future, she would gradually cut off contact with him, especially when she became more famous and no longer needed his protection. Of course, she wouldn't demean herself by continuing to be his mistress without a title.

This can be considered a tacit understanding between the two.

Zhang Yuxi was also worried that Chen Feng would gradually stop caring about her and then break off their relationship.

She herself had never thought of taking the initiative to break up with Chen Feng, not only because she still needed Chen Feng's protection, but also because she had unknowingly become emotionally involved.

It's really hard for her to accept being asked to withdraw like this all of a sudden.

But she was also a very rational woman. She knew that if their long-distance relationship continued, they would see each other less and less. Even if they didn't say they were breaking up, it was practically the same as breaking up.

What she needs to do in the future is to spend as much time as possible with Chen Feng, and to make him feel the value of her companionship every time they meet, so that he won't want to let her go.

This time, Chen Feng readily agreed to her request to go shopping together.

So, the two tidied themselves up a bit. Zhang Yuxi changed into some ordinary clothes, put on light makeup, and then wore a large mask and hat to disguise herself.

Otherwise, if she, a big star, appeared in public, she would be recognized in no time, attracting crowds and causing unnecessary trouble.

Because it was very close to the mall, the two of them didn't drive. It was only about a kilometer away and took about ten minutes to walk there.

Chen Feng had never been to this shopping mall before, but it was considered quite upscale, with many luxury stores inside.

Zhang Yuxi had disguised herself properly, so no one recognized her. She chatted and laughed with Chen Feng all the way, looking very happy. This was understandable, as she had been working like a workaholic ever since "Qing Yu An" became famous, with her schedule packed full every day and little free time to rest.

In addition, because of her status as a big star, she hasn't had the experience of strolling and shopping in a mall or on the street for a long time.

Not to mention that Chen Feng was with her this time, allowing them to enjoy some alone time together.

Although Chen Feng is rather lazy now, he used to accompany women shopping quite a bit, so he's gotten used to it.

He now showed no impatience whatsoever as the women strolled leisurely through the shops.

He was very patient with Zhang Yuxi when she tried on several outfits at the clothing store and asked for her opinion, and he always gave her his honest advice, not just perfunctory suggestions.

This fueled Zhang Yuxi's enthusiasm for shopping, trying on clothes, and buying clothes. As long as Chen Feng liked something and thought it was suitable, she would buy it.

At Chen Feng's insistence, he naturally paid for her bill. This amount of money was nothing to him, and besides, she was his woman after all. There was no reason for her to pay for her own things when they went shopping together.

Seeing Chen Feng's insistence, Zhang Yuxi naturally did not refuse and seemingly accepted his spending money on her with a clear conscience.

After visiting seven or eight clothing stores and trying on at least thirty outfits, she bought six of them before stopping at Chen Feng's request.

Chen Feng was certainly not unwilling to continue spending money on her. In fact, these six outfits only cost him a little over 30,000 yuan, averaging a little over 5,000 yuan per outfit. For a big star like her, this was really not expensive.

Zhang Yuxi herself didn't think it was expensive, let alone Chen Feng, the "big spender".

Chen Feng stopped her because she asked for his opinion every time she tried on clothes. After trying on these thirty-odd outfits, she had to give him his opinion over thirty times. Even with his patience, Chen Feng couldn't take it anymore and had to tell her to stop.

Besides, she already had six new outfits for the new season, plus the ones her management team had prepared for her, so she should have dozens of outfits in total. There was really no need to buy any more. After persuading Zhang Yuxi to stop trying on and buying clothes, Zhang Yuxi took him to a men's clothing store. At her insistence, Chen Feng tried on four outfits in each of the two stores and bought two of them. Moreover, she insisted on paying for them, saying that it was a fair exchange.

The two men's outfits Chen Feng bought together cost more than 50,000 yuan, which was more expensive than the six outfits she bought.

If Chen Feng hadn't said he already had plenty of shoes, socks, and belts at home, she would have bought him more.

This made Chen Feng feel a bit like he was living off a woman, which was quite novel, to be honest.

Chen Feng had similar experiences of being a kept man before, but this time the person was Zhang Yuxi, who was someone he had sexually harassed, so the feeling was very different.

Moreover, it was clear that Zhang Yuxi had spent money to buy him clothes, and Chen Feng had accepted it; she seemed quite happy about it.

This is probably what it feels like for couples to be in love.

Chen Feng didn't discourage her, reminding her that they weren't a couple, let alone dating.

After all, each meeting would be one less time for them in the future, and Chen Feng wanted to create some beautiful memories for each other.

So the two of them spent more than two hours shopping in the mall before heading home.

They chatted and laughed all the way back to Zhang Yuxi's house, and Zhang Yuxi immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of them.

This was a home-cooked meal she had carefully prepared, a meal just for the two of them.

Zhang Yuxi had told him this many times before, and Chen Feng didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, so he let her do it.

Chen Feng sat on the sofa watching TV, then checked the few unread messages on his phone. They were mostly from women, and as usual, unless it was something important, he didn't reply and just read them and moved on.

After waiting for about forty minutes, Zhang Yuxi finally finished preparing the meal, and the rice was cooked.

The meal consisted of four dishes and one soup, including the previously cooked scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber and wood ear salad, steamed sea bass, braised pork with potatoes, and winter melon and barley duck soup.

There were five dishes in total, each of which looked delicious and smelled wonderful. They were also very refreshing, and most importantly, they all suited Chen Feng's taste.

It's important to know that Zhang Yuxi's hometown is in Hunan Province, where people love spicy food, and the taste of the dishes there is very different from the Lushi cuisine in Chen Feng's hometown.

The five dishes Zhang Yuxi cooked weren't spicy at all, and the flavors were very much in line with those in Lushi. Most importantly, for home-style cooking, this level was quite good, at least not worse than his mother Zhao Xiaolan's. Needless to say, Zhang Yuxi had clearly put in a lot of effort.

Therefore, Chen Feng was somewhat touched. After tasting all five dishes, he sincerely praised them, saying, "These dishes are all cooked very well. I like them very much. You've put a lot of thought into it."

"As long as you like it."

With Chen Feng's affirmation, Zhang Yuxi felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders, and a happy smile naturally appeared on her face.

After dinner, the two sat together on the sofa watching TV and chatting.

Then, Chen Feng inevitably reached out to places he shouldn't have, and that's when he found out she was on her period.

Chen Feng wasn't too disappointed, after all, the two were quite familiar with each other. Besides, Chen Feng was still in a period of recuperation these past two days, so he certainly couldn't waste too much energy.

Zhang Yuxi, feeling somewhat apologetic, shyly offered to do import/export business with him, but Chen Feng declined. Chen Feng then spent another half hour with her before finally saying goodbye and leaving, as it was almost 7:30.

Zhang Yuxi reluctantly escorted him to the underground parking lot, and only after watching him get into his car and drive away did she return home feeling somewhat lost.

Not long after Chen Feng drove out of the residential area, he unexpectedly received a call from Dai Sixian.

After connecting via Bluetooth, Chen Feng answered her call.

"What is it?" Chen Feng asked in a lukewarm tone.

"I want to talk to you about Villa No. 8, your old house. Are you coming?" Dai Sixian's tone was neither cold nor warm.

Chen Feng frowned slightly and asked, "What are we talking about? Is Jingwen with you?"

"...She's not here, and I'm all alone now. Do you dare to come?" Dai Sixian asked in a provocative tone.

Upon hearing that she was home alone, Chen Feng refused without hesitation, saying, "I wouldn't dare. Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up; I'm driving."

Dai Sixian said with disdain, "I knew you wouldn't dare come. Don't worry, I won't eat you. I just want to talk to you about your relationship with Jingwen, and some things about myself. I want to hear your opinion. You gave me some good advice last time. Also, if you'd like, I'd like to have a drink with you. I feel really bored drinking alone now."

"Have you been drinking?" Chen Feng asked.

"Yes, my alcohol tolerance is much better now than before. I've already drunk three cans of Budweiser and I don't feel anything at all. I can still speak fluently and my mind is very clear."

Chen Feng said speechlessly, "You should drink less. Even if you're a woman who's heartbroken, you don't need to drown your sorrows in alcohol every day. You're turning into a female alcoholic. No man will like that."

"I don't need men to like me. I think I like women more now, like Jingwen. I feel like I really like her now, but unfortunately she only has eyes for you and isn't easy to sway. Otherwise, I really would like to give it a try with her..."

"Get the hell out of here!" Chen Feng warned rudely. "I know you're joking, but this joke isn't funny at all. Even if you're a woman, I won't allow you to say things like that to me, and I certainly won't allow you to make a move on Jingwen."

"Haha, I knew it. You're very possessive. You can't stand anyone else having designs on your woman, and you absolutely won't accept your woman cheating on you..."

"That's enough," Chen Feng interrupted her. "Why are you telling me all this nonsense?"

"I just want you to talk to me, and it would be even better if you could have a drink with me."

"Shall I have Jingwen come over and keep you company?" Chen Feng suggested.

"She doesn't drink, and she's going to the company to start filming tomorrow. I don't want my own troubles to bother her."

"So you have the nerve to bother me?"

"You're such a hands-off boss, doing nothing all day. Isn't it normal for me to come looking for you?"

"Of course it's not normal. First of all, I'm a man. And like you said, I'm a womanizing playboy. You're really comfortable drinking alone with me? Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?" (End of Chapter)
