Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Celebration Begins

However, just when Lin Mengyao was taking her frustrations out on the oatmeal bread as if it were Chen Feng, a playful voice suddenly rang in her ear.

"Didn’t we agree not to get angry? Why are you bad-mouthing me behind my back, huh? That’s not polite!"

With these words, Lin Mengyao froze completely, then quickly lifted her head to look.

She saw Chen Feng, who should have been almost out of the villa, had inexplicably returned, and was now standing right beside her, very close at that.

She hadn’t noticed him coming back at all before this.

"Ah!"

Lin Mengyao got a fright on the spot, and the fork in her hand flew out of her grip.

"Yaoyao, what kind of reaction is that? I’m not a ghost, is there any need to get so scared? Do you know? Seeing your reaction really hurts my heart!"

Chen Feng feigned a look of deep heartache and said.

And as he spoke, he was close to crying.

His acting skills were very convincing, beyond question.

If Chen Feng hadn’t joined the military but had become an actor instead, he would likely have already won an Oscar for Best Actor by now.

Lin Mengyao rolled her eyes at Chen Feng and said speechlessly, "It’s you, scaring me to death. Didn’t you already leave? When did you come back?"

"Just when you were stabbing the bread with your fork!"

Chen Feng immediately revealed a smile again and said with a laugh.

"Then... then did you hear what I said?" Lin Mengyao’s pretty face turned red, and she asked somewhat nervously.

"What, feeling guilty about bad-mouthing me behind my back?"

Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"Who’s feeling guilty? I didn’t say anything bad about you, what I said was the truth, no guilt at all!" Lin Mengyao retorted, her eyes defiant.

"Is that so? Well, I’m right here now, repeat it again for me to hear!"

Chen Feng immediately leaned his face towards Lin Mengyao, pointing to his ear, and said.

"I don’t want to, I’m not a tape recorder, why should I repeat what I already said!"

Lin Mengyao pushed Chen Feng’s head away with one hand and pouted.

"Fine, then I’m really going to go on a date with another girl!"

Having said that, Chen Feng made to turn around and leave again.

"You! Humph, do whatever you want!"

Lin Mengyao huffed, crossing her arms over her chest and speaking with a pout.

"Are you really angry?"

Chen Feng stopped in his tracks, looked back at Lin Mengyao, and asked with a smile.

"I am not!" Lin Mengyao said coldly, enunciating every word.

"Alright, if that’s the case, then I’ll just have to tell you some really bad news. I originally wanted to keep it from you for a while longer, but secrets won’t stay hidden forever, so I’ve decided to come clean to you now. After you hear this, please don’t get mad, okay?"

Chen Feng said with an earnest face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengyao’s face went pale, and she nervously guessed: Chen Feng couldn’t have already been with another woman, could he?

That couldn’t be what he was about to admit to her now, could it?

Lin Mengyao grew more and more anxious, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Chen Feng’s mouth, deeply worried that his next words would match her suspicions.

If that were the case, her heart would be totally shattered.

Seeing Lin Mengyao looking at him with wide-eyed expectation, Chen Feng’s lips turned up slightly, then he sighed and said, "Ah, to tell you the truth... this time I wasn’t going on a date with another girl at all, but was invited to attend the grand opening of a security company. I was just tricking you, haha!"

After finishing his words, Chen Feng grinned and immediately took off running toward the outside of the villa without giving Lin Mengyao a chance to react.

About two minutes later, Lin Mengyao’s voice of embarrassed anger echoed throughout the villa.

"Chen Feng, you big liar, if you dare, don’t come back tonight!"

...

Coastal City, Haiyue International Hotel.

Today, the hotel’s entire banquet hall had been booked out.

It was because today marked the grand opening ceremony of a new company, Tianfeng Security Co., Ltd.

Zhou Zheng, the head of Tianfeng Security Company, was directing the staff, busily arranging the site.

At this moment, the floor was completely covered with red carpet, and the walls around were hung with banners, slogans, balloons, streamers, and palace lanterns, all very festive decorations.

In short, the entire scene was arranged by Zhou Zheng with a lively atmosphere, showing his considerable experience in this area.

As for the ceremony’s host and other affairs, Zhou Zheng had already arranged everything neatly.

Now, all that was left was to finish setting up the venue, invite the guests in, and the celebration could start right away...

About half an hour later, the site had been basically set up. Zhou Zheng, seeing that Chen Feng still hadn’t arrived, thought Chen Feng might not have received his WeChat message, so he decided to make another call to Chen Feng.

But just as he took out his phone, Chen Feng’s figure appeared in the banquet hall.

"Mr. Chen, you’ve arrived!" Zhou Zheng hurriedly greeted him.

"There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way, how is it, I’m not too late, am I?" Chen Feng glanced over the well-prepared hall and asked with a smile.

"Not at all, just in time!" Zhou Zheng quickly shook his head and said.

"Then let’s get started!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Alright, please take a seat, I’ll go notify the guests to enter, and then we can start the celebration!"

After speaking, Zhou Zheng hurried off to get busy.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, casually found a seat at the guest area nearby and sat down.

Chen Feng had only been seated for less than five minutes when a bald middle-aged man wearing a blue suit and holding a red invitation walked into the banquet hall.

Behind the bald man were two bodyguards in black.

Each bodyguard was clutching a flower basket in their arms.

Clearly, the bald man was one of the invited guests, who had come to congratulate Tianfeng Security Company with flower baskets.

After the bald man with the bodyguards entered the banquet hall, he instructed the bodyguards to place the flower baskets beside the entrance; then, he walked alone towards the inside of the hall.

His direction was exactly where Chen Feng was sitting.

Since the celebration was just starting, the guests had not yet arrived, and the bald man was the first to show up.

Hence, apart from the hotel staff, Chen Feng was the only person in the entire hall.

The bald man immediately noticed Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng’s outfit made him frown.

Chen Feng, having rushed out today, had not changed into formal attire and had arrived in a black short sleeve shirt and camouflage pants.

In the eyes of the bald man, this attire led him to mistake Chen Feng for one of the hotel’s security guards.

After all, the hotel security also wore camouflage pants, and if the top jacket were removed, it would look exactly like what Chen Feng was wearing.

The bald man’s face turned gloomy, and he walked up to Chen Feng, pointing at his nose and scolding:

"Are you a security guard of this hotel? This is completely inappropriate. This is the guest area, where every person is a CEO worth tens of millions. Is it a place for a lowly security guard like you to sit? You sitting here is an insult to us; get lost immediately!"
