After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1856 My Girlfriend's Best Friend
The two walked and talked, and in less than ten minutes, they arrived at the gate of Qin Xiaorou's school. Chen Feng took out his phone and sent a WeChat message saying he had arrived. Qin Xiaorou replied almost instantly, saying she would be out soon.
Five or six minutes later, Qin Xiaorou came out. She immediately spotted Chen Feng standing in front of the Bentley, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She happily ran over.
Chen Feng smiled and opened his arms to give her a warm hug, but the girl stopped abruptly when she was about a meter away from him.
She crossed her arms over her chest and said with a touch of arrogance, "I won't hug you. Men and women shouldn't touch each other, don't you know that? You're not allowed to take advantage of me like that."
"That's the taste." Hearing these familiar words, Chen Feng thought to himself that this little girl's mouth was still a bit foul. But he didn't care at all and laughed heartily, saying, "This is just a loving hug between brother and sister. You're the one who's misunderstood; you have impure thoughts."
Qin Xiaorou replied seriously, "Anyway, I would never hug you. Even if you were my own brother, I wouldn't hug you, let alone you. Don't try to get close to me."
"Fine, fine, if you don't want a hug, then don't. Do you think I really want to be hugged by you?" Chen Feng said helplessly, "Let's go. To celebrate our meeting, I'll treat you to McDonald's."
"What the heck! You're such a big spender, you finally made the trip, and all you do is treat me to is McDonald's?" Qin Xiaorou's eyes widened. "No way, I want to eat my hometown food. You have to take me to Chinatown for a proper meal. I haven't had authentic hometown food in ages."
Chen Feng teased her deliberately, "You wouldn't even let me hug you just now, and now you expect me to treat you to a big meal? Besides, I'm a guest who came all this way, and you're the host here. Logically, you should be the one treating me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaorou retorted confidently, "I'm still a student, how could I have any money? When I start working and earning money in the future, I will definitely treat you to a meal. But right now you are much richer than me, so it's only right that you treat me to a meal."
Chen Feng continued to tease, "Okay, give me a hug and I'll do as you say and drive all the way to Chinatown to treat you to dinner."
Qin Xiaorou glared at her and said, "Are you flirting with me? If you keep doing this, don't blame me for turning on you right here and now."
Seeing that this young girl was ready to turn on him at any moment, Chen Feng was truly impressed. However, deep down he was actually quite susceptible to her antics, so he could only stop himself and say, "Okay, okay, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. Since you want to eat hometown food, I'll take you there now."
Seeing that he had finally given in, Qin Xiaorou smiled, but still muttered with a touch of arrogance, "That's more like it."
After she finished speaking, Chen Feng introduced Luna to her in English: "This is my friend Luna, whom I just met. She's a model. She's currently living in Los Angeles." Then Chen Feng turned to Luna and introduced her: "Luna, this is my close friend, you can call her Claire."
Luna smiled and extended her hand to Qin Xiaorou: "Hello, Claire, it's nice to meet you. You are a very beautiful girl, no wonder Chen Feng is good friends with you."
Actually, Qin Xiaorou had already noticed Luna standing next to Chen Feng, but she hadn't paid any attention to it. Now that Chen Feng had taken the initiative to introduce them, she reluctantly shook hands with Luna, then simply nodded coldly without saying a word.
Even so, she did it entirely out of respect for Chen Feng; otherwise, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't have included the handshake.
When Luna's smile seemed a little stiff, Qin Xiaorou ignored her and turned to Chen Feng, urging, "Let's go, I'm starving. Besides, it's not close to Chinatown, and it'll be even more troublesome if we get stuck in traffic."
Seeing Luna's embarrassed expression, Chen Feng could only smile helplessly at her. Then he led Qin Xiaorou into the car and invited Luna to get in as well.
The Bentley could only seat five people. Besides the hotel driver and Zhang Jianhui in the front passenger seat, there were only three seats left in the back. Therefore, bodyguard Wang Yichuan had to take a taxi back to the hotel. Chen Feng hadn't intended for him to stay with him, as he hadn't yet sensed any imminent danger in Los Angeles. Having two bodyguards with him was mainly for company or to provide assistance; he didn't actually expect them to take bullets for him.
The three of them got into the back seat of the car. Chen Feng was still sitting in the middle, with Qin Xiaorou on his left and Luna on his right.
After starting the car, Qin Xiaorou asked Chen Feng in Mandarin with some disdain, "Why did you find another woman here? And she looks rather shady. Not only are her arms and legs exposed in this weather, but she's also showing most of her chest. I'm really starting to doubt your taste in women."
As Qin Xiaorou spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Luna's chest on her right. In fact, Luna's outfit today was indeed a little revealing; after all, it was already June, and the daytime temperature in Los Angeles was in the twenties, so she was dressed quite lightly. She wore a khaki short-sleeved T-shirt with a low neckline, revealing a large expanse of her tanned, glossy skin. The cropped design also accentuated her waist, making it appear even more delicate and sexy.
Because of her full hips, her proportions appeared somewhat exaggerated compared to her slim waist. Actually, this kind of outfit was quite common locally, and there were many people dressed even more provocatively. Qin Xiaorou's assessment of her was purely due to a bad first impression, especially after Chen Feng introduced her as a model, which immediately led her to categorize her as a "gold digger." Furthermore, she was currently on good terms with Brina, naturally harboring hostility towards this potential rival for Brina's affections.
Chen Feng had anticipated her reaction and said with a smile, "You've been here for almost two years, how come you still haven't adapted to the local customs? There are many women dressed like her on the street, and some even dress more revealingly."
Qin Xiaorou snorted: "Anyway, I just think she's not serious. Besides, she's a model. How many models in the industry do you think are serious?"
"You're being a bit too hasty. Many models are actually very respectable. It's just a profession; don't look at them with prejudice."
Seeing that Chen Feng was still speaking up for the other woman, Qin Xiaorou looked at him with even more disdain: "I think you're blinded by lust. Although this woman has a good figure and is not bad looking, I can tell at a glance that she has a bad heart and is definitely after your money. If you're just playing around, I won't say anything more. But if you want to play with her feelings, I suggest you save your breath."
Chen Feng was speechless when he heard her say that, and too lazy to argue with her, so he just went along with her words: "OK, thank you for your suggestion, I will pay attention."
Qin Xiaorou rolled her eyes at him and finally said nothing more.
Luna, standing to the side, felt rather uncomfortable. Chen Feng and Qin Xiaorou were communicating in Mandarin, which she couldn't understand a word of, but judging from Qin Xiaorou's expression and tone, she was certain that the other woman was talking badly about her. Finally, seeing that the two had quieted down, she asked, "Where are you planning to go? Are you going straight back to the hotel?"
Chen Feng replied in English, "No, we plan to eat Chinese food in Chinatown. You shouldn't object, right?"
Luna quickly and happily replied, "Of course I won't object, that's great! I haven't had delicious Chinese food in a long time, mainly because Chinese food in Los Angeles is too expensive for me."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Then you can eat your fill this time."
"Thank you! I'm really lucky this time. I just happened to run into you, and I'll be able to eat the Chinese food I've been craving soon."
Luna spoke in a slightly affected, coquettish voice, which made Qin Xiaorou frown and disapprove. She couldn't help but snort coldly. This attitude made Luna's expression stiffen again.
At this moment, Luna truly understood just how strange Qin Xiaorou, Chen Feng's close friend despite their age difference, was. Her personality was simply too difficult to get along with. Unfortunately, because of Chen Feng, Luna couldn't lash out and could only suffer in silence, sulking silently.
Qin Xiaorou still didn't speak to Luna, and continued to ask Chen Feng in Mandarin, "You came over here, didn't you tell Brina? Doesn't she know you're here?"
Chen Feng explained, "She had something to do at school today, so we weren't together."
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't she about to graduate? What could she possibly be unable to get out of school?"
Qin Xiaorou glanced at Luna with some disdain and asked, "Just because she's not here today, you went to find this Latina beauty?"
Clearly, she was standing up for Brinna.
Chen Feng had no choice but to continue patiently explaining, "I met Luna in New York, and who knew we'd run into her again this afternoon while shopping in Los Angeles. Plus, I was picking you up from school, and she was curious and insisted on coming along."
Qin Xiaorou looked at him with even more disdain: "So, you were already hooking up with her when you were in New York?"
"Nothing like that!" Chen Feng solemnly denied. "Don't think too highly of me. I don't do anything to every woman I see. It's just that this was so unexpected. We happened to run into each other in Los Angeles, and we felt a connection. Plus, she's actually a pretty nice person, so we planned to chat, do some shopping, and maybe have a meal together." Qin Xiaorou, of course, didn't believe him and pressed him with suspicion, "Really just eating and shopping? No plans for anything else?"
Chen Feng was speechless for a moment after being asked this question, and then said with a bit of embarrassment and annoyance, "You're just a little kid, and a minor, why are you concerned about these things? It's our adult business, you shouldn't pry into it."
Qin Xiaorou snorted twice: "Brina and I are good friends now. Does she even know you've been seeing this woman?"
Chen Feng said frankly, "I don't know yet, but I'll find an opportunity to tell her."
Qin Xiaorou said coldly, "Since you haven't told her yet, I'll tell her now. You won't mind, will you?"
Chen Feng's lips twitched involuntarily. He knew that Brina was reasonable, but it was indeed a bit unreasonable for him to get involved with Luna so soon after they broke up. Especially since the two of them had been very close and had gone through thick and thin together before their breakup.
So Chen Feng stopped him, saying, "I already said, children shouldn't interfere in adult matters. I'll talk to her myself, so don't say anything more, okay?"
Qin Xiaorou, however, showed no mercy and shook her head in refusal: "No! Now that I know, I'm definitely going to tell her. Anyway, she knows you're a womanizer, so one more won't make a difference, right? I'm her good friend now, and if I don't tell her, I'll be failing as a good friend."
This sounded surprisingly reasonable, and Chen Feng couldn't refute it, so he could only helplessly say, "Say what you want."
Without a word, Qin Xiaorou picked up her phone and typed rapidly with two fingers. In the blink of an eye, she sent the relevant information to Brina. Seeing this, Luna on the right whispered to Chen Feng, "Were you talking about me?"
Chen Feng honestly said, "She's my girlfriend Brina's good friend. She said she wanted to tell Brina that I have a new love interest, and that's you."
Luna paused, her face flushing slightly, and asked awkwardly, "Is this really okay?"
Chen Feng shrugged, looking relaxed: "There's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, Brina knows I'm a bit of a womanizer, so having you one more won't make a difference. Besides, we're actually still innocent, aren't we?"
Upon hearing this, Luna glanced at him seductively, lowered her voice, and asked with a hint of teasing, "So... do you want us to stay innocent and pure like this forever?"
Chen Feng chuckled lightly: "That depends on what you think."
Luna smiled and said nothing more; everything between them was understood without words.
"You're disgusting." Qin Xiaorou put down her phone and glared at Chen Feng with dissatisfaction. "Don't flirt with women like that in front of me or say such lewd things. If I had known you were bringing a woman like that to see me, I definitely wouldn't have talked to you."
Chen Feng glared at him and said, "Qin Xiaorou, you've gone too far! I flew all this way just to see you and even invited you to dinner, and this is how you talk to me?"
“I’ve always spoken like this, you’re not new to this. I don’t care if you come to see me, especially not with a woman like this… a woman who sells herself.”
Qin Xiaorou doesn't seem afraid of breaking off their friendship at all. Ironically, Chen Feng is actually restrained by her unruly and rebellious nature.
So Chen Feng immediately backed down and said, "Okay, okay, I definitely won't bring her next time I see you. I'll bring Brina at most, or someone you can find pleasing to the eye."
Qin Xiaorou snorted coldly, but thankfully she didn't continue to blame Chen Feng.
Luna, standing to the side, didn't know what the two were arguing about, but judging from their expressions, she guessed it was related to her. Moreover, she noticed that Qin Xiaorou, this young girl, wasn't afraid of Chen Feng at all; on the contrary, Chen Feng was constantly yielding to her, which puzzled her greatly. She even suspected that Chen Feng might have taken a liking to this underage girl, but seeing their sibling-like way of arguing, she thought it unlikely. Besides, if Chen Feng had any feelings for this underage girl, he wouldn't have brought her along.
Chen Feng had no time to pay attention to Luna. In fact, he didn't think much of Luna; he just felt it was fate, and since she had taken the initiative to approach him, he didn't mind playing along and having a quick meal, provided he could ensure his safety.
"You must have told your dad, right? That I'd come pick you up today. If not, I'll call him again and tell him." After a moment of silence, Chen Feng took the initiative to ask Qin Xiaorou.
Qin Xiaorou then gave her some face and replied, "I already said that."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Then it's alright, otherwise your dad would definitely be worried."
Qin Xiaorou ignored him and continued scrolling through her phone. Chen Feng was used to this awkward situation; he had been very tolerant of this girl from the beginning, probably because he genuinely considered her a younger sister.
The carriage was silent for more than ten minutes before we finally arrived at our destination: Chinatown in Los Angeles.
The four got out of the car, with bodyguard Zhang Jianhui following closely behind. Chen Feng asked Qin Xiaorou which restaurant was good, and Qin Xiaorou simply said "Follow me" and led the way. She was clearly a regular customer, and soon they arrived at a Chinese restaurant with a somewhat old-fashioned sign.
As soon as Qin Xiaorou entered, she called out to a middle-aged woman behind the counter, "Give us a private room. Bring out all your signature dishes and the best food!"
The woman with a Minnan accent immediately agreed. Soon, Qin Xiaorou led Chen Feng into the innermost private room.
Zhang Jianhui, being quite perceptive, didn't follow them inside, but dutifully stood at the door of the private room. Chen Feng didn't plan to call him either, after all, it was indeed a bit strange for a bodyguard to dine at the same table as the three of them.
After sitting down, Qin Xiaorou took the initiative to introduce the restaurant, saying, "They mainly serve Fujian cuisine here, and the taste is quite authentic. I've eaten here before with my dad and my stepmother. By the way, would you like some drinks?"
Chen Feng immediately shook his head: "I don't drink."
"Then let's have two bottles of juice."
The waiter quickly followed. Qin Xiaorou repeated her order, asking for one of each of the signature dishes: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Eight Treasure Rice, Lychee Pork, Fish Balls, Smoked Goose, and so on.
The food was served quickly; the first dish, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," was brought out in five or six minutes, clearly having been stewed and kept warm beforehand. Chen Feng tasted it and found it indeed quite delicious, not much different from the Fu Man Lou restaurant in Xiuzhou. The other dishes followed one after another, a total of eight.
The restaurant's portion sizes were reasonable, not too much, considering there were only three of them. Most of the food ended up in Chen Feng's stomach; he always has a big appetite. Qin Xiaorou, on the other hand, just ate heartily, completely lacking any girlish reserve.
After eating for more than half an hour, the three of them were almost finished. As soon as Qin Xiaorou was full, she urged Chen Feng to hurry up and take her home. Although Chen Feng had no choice but to speed up, he could only do so.
The bill came to $1,200 (including tip). Although Chen Feng was now a billionaire, he felt the meal was indeed a bit expensive, but he didn't say anything.
The three men, accompanied by bodyguards, emerged from the restaurant and were walking towards their parking lot. Suddenly, they encountered three more people.
It was a middle-aged Chinese couple, plus a boy of about seventeen or eighteen; they looked like a family. The boy with glasses' eyes lit up the moment he saw Qin Xiaorou, and he quickly quickened his pace to greet her, loudly proclaiming in Mandarin with a Fujian accent, "Xiaorou! What a coincidence! What brings you here?" (End of Chapter)
