Chapter 351: Chapter 207 Not Holding Back at All_2

Not long after, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui each came out of the kitchen carrying a few steaming dishes.

"Brother Feng, Brother Zhen, it’s time to eat."

Wu Mengting called out to them on purpose, but didn’t call Hong Xiaodan.

However, Hong Xiaodan wasn’t the least bit angry or embarrassed. She followed Chen Feng and Qin Zhen to the dining table and said while looking at the full table of dishes, "Your cooking skills really look impressive. I’m almost drooling. Oh, there’s some roast goose here too, it’s delicious. You should try it."

Hong Xiaodan naturally placed the remaining roast goose meat from the food box onto the dining table, pushing it toward the two women, somewhat in a show of goodwill. However, her gesture only made the two of them feel more displeased.

Offering leftovers, was she being generous or treating them like beggars?

"No need. We don’t like roast goose." Wu Mengting replied with a slightly stern face, refusing outright.

Sun Xiaorui also spoke up, "Miss Hong, you should have had lunch already, right? Why don’t you go have a cup of tea in the living room first?"

In exchange, other women in this situation would definitely go along with her words, saying they’ve already eaten, or would find an excuse to leave.

But Hong Xiaodan is different; she smiled honestly and said, "I haven’t eaten yet. I came over to your place planning to mooch a meal, you’re not going to be stingy, are you?"

This truly is the style of a tomboy.

Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting were momentarily embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. As always, for the sake of his aunt, not letting her join in would make things awkward if she went to complain to his aunt.

"Since you haven’t eaten yet, why don’t you sit down and eat with us?"

Because Chen Feng said this, the two women obviously couldn’t say anything, but both felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

"Thank you. I’ll just get myself some food."

Hong Xiaodan said, and indeed went to the kitchen to get some food herself, leaving Chen Feng and the others to glance at each other in silence.

This woman truly doesn’t treat herself as an outsider.

The three women went to get the rice together, each with a bowl, then they sat down.

"Let’s eat."

As Chen Feng said this, everyone began eating the meal.

"Wow! This is delicious. The fish is cooked as well as at those private restaurants. Mmm, yummy, yummy... This is heart of greens is cooked very well too, I’m in for a treat this time."

While eating, Hong Xiaodan praised, her speed at picking food was quite fast.

The two women who were praised didn’t seem particularly happy.

Apart from Hong Xiaodan, the rest didn’t speak, making the atmosphere noticeably tense.

Seeing this, Hong Xiaodan took the initiative to start a conversation, looking at the two women and asking, "Ladies, what do you think about me coming over for meals in the future? I’ll pay you each twenty thousand a month for the food expenses, if you think it’s too little, we can negotiate."

This is really straightforward and direct; using money to solve the issue right away. Most people would agree immediately, since twenty thousand a month is quite a lot.

But Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting were not strangers to money now. Not to mention Wu Mengting, even Sun Xiaorui was now given six thousand a month by Chen Feng, so one thousand wasn’t particularly enticing for her.

"Sorry, but the three of us don’t wish to be disturbed much by others."

Wu Mengting didn’t hesitate to refuse outright.

Sun Xiaorui also nodded and said, "We’re not professional maids. If you want to find a maid, you can go to a domestic service company."

It was clear that Hong Xiaodan didn’t expect them to refuse without even thinking, and her face slightly changed. She turned to Chen Feng and asked, "Is that your stance too, Chen Feng?"

Chen Feng responded quite tactfully, "I’ve already told you before. Since they both disagree, let’s forget about it."

Hong Xiaodan picked up a piece of meat from the plate in front of Chen Feng with her chopsticks, chewing it with a face full of grievance, and said, "You really lack sympathy. I already said it’s hard to find suitable maids, can’t you make an exception?"

Wu Mengting responded with a stern face, "Miss Hong, I don’t think we’re that familiar. We should keep proper social distance."

Hong Xiaodan slightly disdainfully glanced at her and said, "I’m not very familiar with you all, but I’m quite familiar with Chen Feng. I’ve been on a blind date with him, and he’s one of the men I fancy. Moreover, I’m well acquainted with his aunt; my mom often plays cards and mahjong with his aunt. Both of those elders are quite optimistic about us."

Upon hearing this, both Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting’s faces changed dramatically.

Before they could lose their temper, Chen Feng quickly glared at Hong Xiaodan and said bluntly, "What nonsense are you talking? I’m really not familiar with you, okay? Also, what’s this about the elders being optimistic about us? I’ve already made it clear to my aunt."

Hong Xiaodan smirked and said, "Just the day before yesterday, my mom was shopping with your aunt and chatting about us. My mom said that your aunt said she’s very optimistic about us and hopes we get to know each other more. If you don’t believe me, just call your aunt and ask."

Chen Feng was rendered speechless, simply glared at her again and said, "Can’t we just focus on eating our meal without discussing all these messy things? The rest of you, just eat properly too. Stop talking."

Upon Chen Feng’s comment, the three women finally quieted down, each eating their meal and dishes silently.

After Qin Zhen quickly finished his meal, he stood up immediately and said, "I’m done eating, take your time. I have matters to attend to at the office, so I’ll leave now. Also, I wish you all safe travels and a pleasant journey."

After saying this, Qin Zhen turned and left without waiting for anyone to react, with no intention of lingering.

In fact, he somewhat regretted coming over for lunch, as he was caught amidst a drama with jealousy loaded into his mouth – three women with one man in the center battling with wits and words. He played no meaningful role in the situation, merely serving as a backdrop.

This was the time when he felt the least existent in front of women, making his state of breakup and heartbreak feel even more hurt.

"What did he mean by safe travels and a pleasant journey? Are you guys planning to travel?"

Hong Xiaodan, not dull, curiously asked Chen Feng.

Wu Mengting replied, "Yeah. We’re heading off for national travel after lunch. Our flight is at two-thirty this afternoon."

"National travel? How long are you going for?" Hong Xiaodan slightly frowned.

Sun Xiaorui chuckled and said, "At least over a month. Maybe even longer."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaodan felt slightly depressed. Finally reuniting with Chen Feng and even having become neighbors seemed like a serendipitous arrangement by fate, but now they were going to be apart for so long, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She had actually prepared a comprehensive plan to capture Chen Feng.

It looked like this comprehensive plan might have to be shelved.
