Chapter 572: Chapter 317: What Do You Take Me For
"What kind of person is this? I’ve never met such a crazy woman."
After Chen Feng pulled Jin Xinyan away, she couldn’t help but start muttering. She had never encountered a woman as rude and impolite as Tang Yue.
"She’s always been bad-tempered, and now her husband is cheating on her, so they’re probably going through a divorce. It’s just our bad luck to run into her now."
After explaining, Chen Feng consoled her, "It’s not worth getting angry because of someone like that. Let me treat you to milk tea."
This was the first time Chen Feng offered to buy her something, and even though it was just a cup of milk tea, Jin Xinyan was very happy, her attention immediately diverted.
"Sure. I know there’s a milk tea shop not far from here, and it’s really good."
Jin Xinyan immediately perked up and dragged Chen Feng to the milk tea shop.
Twenty minutes later, they each left the milk tea shop holding a cup of milk tea.
The business at this milk tea shop was so good that even though it wasn’t peak time, they still had to wait for over ten minutes.
"The milk tea is tasty, but it has too much sugar. I’m really afraid of getting diabetes if I drink too much. You should also drink less in the future."
Chen Feng didn’t usually drink milk tea, largely because he thought it was a bit expensive. Even when he later had money, he didn’t develop a habit of drinking it. Now that he tried it, he found it quite good, but still thought it wasn’t very healthy due to its high sugar content.
"I only drink it occasionally. If you hadn’t offered, I wouldn’t have had any. But I do like milk tea. It’s just like you said, it’s too sweet, and drinking too much can make you gain weight and isn’t good for your health."
As they drank and walked, they slowly reached where Chen Feng had parked.
By now, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening, and after hesitating slightly, Chen Feng said, "I’ll take you to where I used to live."
"Where you used to live?" Jin Xinyan immediately became interested and curiously asked, "What kind of place is it? Is it far from here?"
"Not far, about a ten-minute drive. Do you want to go?"
Chen Feng respected her choice and asked about her willingness. If she said no, Chen Feng wouldn’t take her.
But that possibility was very low.
As expected, Jin Xinyan nodded immediately and said, "Of course. Take me there."
So, they got in the car, and Chen Feng drove her to East Lake Villa.
Chen Feng had the cleaning lady come over regularly each week to tidy up. A few days ago, Lin Yujiao stayed here.
After parking at the entrance, he led Jin Xinyan out of the car.
The sensor light at the door automatically lit up. Chen Feng took out the key and opened the villa’s door. With a curious expression on her face, Jin Xinyan followed him inside.
They walked through the yard lit by solar-powered street lights, reached the main door of the villa, and Chen Feng took out the key again to open it. He then turned on the lights by the entrance, and the living room was instantly bright.
"This villa is really nice. The yard design and the furnishing in the living room are very sophisticated. Did you arrange all this?"
Jin Xinyan didn’t show too much amazement at the villa, but she commented and expressed her liking for it.
"No. I bought this villa from someone else. I rented it for a while before I bought it."
"How much did you pay for it?" Jin Xinyan asked naturally.
"More than 10 million." Chen Feng responded casually.
"Impossible. This place is so close to East Lake, and it was only more than 10 million?" Jin Xinyan, being a local from Xiu Zhou, was obviously familiar with the property prices.
Chen Feng had to explain slightly, "Originally, they were asking for 20 million, but we settled on 18 million. At that time, they urgently needed money, so I got a good deal."
Only then did Jin Xinyan understand and nod, saying, "20 million sounds about right. After all, the villa is a bit small, but it’s exquisite and in a good location."
"Have a seat."
Chen Feng invited Jin Xinyan while he sat down first. He casually turned on the TV with the remote, and the room became lively.
"You didn’t bring me here to keep a mistress in a golden house, did you?"
Jin Xinyan leaned half of her body on him, bringing her mouth close to his ear, and Chen Feng could feel her warm breath as she spoke.
"You’re a local, and your family lives here. How could I keep you? Would your parents agree? Besides, I never had that thought. I brought you here because it’s more convenient, and it saves us the money for a hotel room."
Chen Feng’s words left Jin Xinyan speechless; they were too blunt and lacked any romantic flair.
"I’m not staying here tonight." Jin Xinyan said with a hint of arrogance, "My mom knows I went out for dinner with you tonight. If I don’t come home, it’s basically a dead giveaway. Plus, staying in a strange place like this suddenly feels uncomfortable. A hotel is more comfortable."
Chen Feng wrapped his arm around her waist and laughed, "No need to stay overnight. I’ll take you home in an hour or two."
Hearing this, Jin Xinyan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she playfully retorted, "Really? What do you take me for?"
Chen Feng laughed, "A woman, of course."
As he spoke, he leaned slightly towards her, pressing her onto the sofa...
Around 11 p.m., they finally left East Lake Villa, and Chen Feng drove her home.
"My mom messaged me again, asking if I’m with you. What should I say?"
In the passenger seat, Jin Xinyan, looking a bit fatigued, asked Chen Feng while holding her phone.
"That’s up to you. You can just tell her you’re with me, it doesn’t matter." Chen Feng said casually, focusing on driving.
Chen Feng’s attitude left Jin Xinyan with a bit of disappointment and a slight mood, but she wasn’t the type to act rashly. She just playfully said, "Then I’ll tell my mom the truth and say that we’re already dating."
Chen Feng chuckled, "Sure. You can say I’m your boyfriend now, I don’t mind. But let me remind you, pretending to be your boyfriend is fine, but if it comes to marriage talks, I’m not ready for that."
"What do you mean? We’re like this now, and you still don’t consider yourself my boyfriend? More pretending?" Jin Xinyan pretended to be angry, "And who’s talking about marriage? Do you think I really want to marry you?"
"Alright. We’ll say we’re a couple now, but I still want to remind you, I’m not the only woman in my life."
Chen Feng’s words were infuriating, making her clench her teeth, wanting to bite him.
However, she had known about this before; she was the one jumping into the fire. Could she really blame him?
Jin Xinyan took a deep breath to calm herself, replied to her mom stating she would be home soon.
"You’d better not take me directly home, in case my parents or the neighbors see. Just drop me at that Western restaurant from before; my car’s parked there, and I’ll drive myself back."
"Alright!"
Chen Feng agreed readily, which made Jin Xinyan feel a bit bitter inside.
Eventually, Chen Feng dropped her at the parking spot. He didn’t get out of the car; he just watched Jin Xinyan drive away, before leaving himself.
