After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 916 - 489: The Hidden Big Shot (Part 2)

"This isn't self-discipline; it's the fear of death," Chen Feng said bluntly.

After being diagnosed with a terminal illness and then miraculously recovering, he began to appreciate his life more and started fearing death. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

So, thinking that not exercising might lead to the deterioration of his condition and an early death, he found the motivation to exercise daily. This was much more effective than mere self-discipline.

Hong Xiaodan chuckled but didn't continue the topic, and instead said, "I'm going home tomorrow. I probably won't be back this year. Maybe not even next year."

"Oh, is that so," Chen Feng said, a bit surprised, but not too shocked. He casually asked, "What about your boyfriend? Is he going back with you?"

Her previous boyfriend, Tang Weicai, was quite decent. He was the founder of a mobile game company and had developed a rather popular mobile game.

Last time, Chen Feng had dinner and drinks with her and her boyfriend, and they even discussed Tang Weicai's company hiring his company's artists for endorsements. However, Tang Weicai never contacted him nor his company about the endorsement, and eventually, Chen Feng forgot about him.

"We broke up," Hong Xiaodan said indifferently, "We only dated for a few days before feeling that it wasn't suitable, so we broke up."

This time, Chen Feng was momentarily stunned. From a man's perspective, Tang Weicai was really quite good, and he seemed well-matched with Hong Xiaodan. The last time they met, they appeared to be a loving couple, and now hearing that they broke up after just a few days seemed... too casual.

"Oh, that's a shame..."

"It's all in the past," Hong Xiaodan interrupted Chen Feng's sighs and continued, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I wanted to have a meal with you tonight as a farewell dinner, is that okay?"

Chen Feng instinctively refused immediately, "Sorry, I already have plans tonight with my friend and his girlfriend."

Hong Xiaodan stared at Chen Feng for a while before saying, "What about lunch then?"

Chen Feng found it hard to refuse again. After all, the two of them had already cleared the air previously, and she was leaving tomorrow, possibly not returning until next year. It wouldn't make sense to keep refusing a farewell meal.

"I am free at lunch. How about coming to my place? There are many people at home today, and it'll be lively."

Hong Xiaodan hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, "Sure. I'll come over at noon."

"Okay." Chen Feng nodded as well.

After saying this, Hong Xiaodan didn't say anything else and turned to leave.

Chen Feng continued to exercise for a while before finishing his morning workout.

Upon returning home, he saw Sun Xiaorui was already up and making breakfast for everyone.

"You're back?"

"Yeah."

"Go take a shower first; breakfast will be ready soon."

"Okay."

...

Just ordinary daily conversations, but they made Chen Feng feel grounded and content.

By the time he came down after his shower, Sun Xiaorui had already prepared breakfast, including two boiled eggs, a bowl of oatmeal with milk, and two bacon and lettuce wraps, all very nutritious.

Chen Feng wasn't in a rush, so he sat down, savoring his breakfast, and then he told Sun Xiaorui about Hong Xiaodan coming over for lunch and that she planned to return to her hometown without coming back to Xiu Zhou.

Sun Xiaorui was a bit surprised and curious about this news. She knew about Hong Xiaodan having a boyfriend before, but now that she's going back to her hometown, what about her boyfriend?

She couldn't help but ask the same question Chen Feng had asked Hong Xiaodan, and upon hearing the answer, Sun Xiaorui was also speechless for a while.

After finishing breakfast, the two went to the living room to watch TV.

Around ten o'clock, when Sister Xue arrived with groceries to prepare lunch, Wu Mengting, Lin Wan, and Lu Sijia came downstairs.

After a simple breakfast, they all sat in the living room as well.

At this point, Lin Wan and Lu Sijia definitely planned to stay for lunch. Chen Feng also took the opportunity to tell Wu Mengting about Hong Xiaodan.

Wu Mengting naturally had some opinions about Hong Xiaodan, but now that Hong Xiaodan was leaving and going back to her hometown, she set aside her prejudices.

Around eleven, Hong Xiaodan arrived, carrying a large bag of crystal grapes.

No one stood on ceremony; they took the bag of grapes, washed them, and sat in the living room eating together.

Hong Xiaodan's attitude was quite good, and as the hostess, Wu Mengting didn't give her any cold shoulder. She even inquired about Hong Xiaodan's plans back home. Hearing that she planned to start a clothing company after a period of rest, Wu Mengting encouraged her and offered her support.

During lunch, the women gradually warmed up to each other and chatted away.

After the meal, Chen Feng, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the chatter, found an excuse to leave the villa.

Not having anywhere in particular to go, he decided to head to Lai Man Cafe for an iced coffee.

The iced coffee there was still very good.

After parking his car and entering the cafe, he sat at an open spot on the second floor. Given the summer season and the midday sun, Chen Feng chose a spot inside, by the wall instead of by the window.

When his iced coffee arrived, he took a few sips and then took out his phone, planning to read a novel for a while.

While engrossed in reading a harem novel, he noticed the light dim in front of him. Looking up, he found himself widening his eyes slightly.

"Boss, what a coincidence," Yang Wenqi greeted him with a sweet smile.

Standing beside her was Jin Xinyan, who was pouting slightly as she looked at him but didn't say anything.

"Yes, what a coincidence. Come, have a seat," Chen Feng replied with a smile, gesturing to the seat opposite him.

Yang Wenqi immediately sat down, pulling Jin Xinyan with her.

"Boss, why are you alone? Where are President Wu and President Sun?"

After sitting down, Yang Wenqi asked with a cheerful smile.

Chen Feng wasn't fazed and replied with a smile, "They're at home."

Yang Wenqi covered her mouth with a light chuckle, while Jin Xinyan, though her expression was complicated, didn't give Chen Feng any attitude. She was very aware of Chen Feng's playboy nature.

At this point, the waiter came over, and both women ordered cappuccinos.

After the waiter left, Yang Wenqi asked, "Boss, I heard the final cut of 'Green Jade Case' has been edited. Have you seen it? How is my performance?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "I haven't seen it. I'll let you know once I do. But for now, it's break time, so let's not talk about work."

"OK. I heard from Xinyan that last night you went shopping with President Wu and another beautiful woman. Were you feeling quite proud?" There was a hint of teasing in Yang Wenqi's words, showing a lack of formality.

Chen Feng squinted slightly, inspecting her, then turned to Jin Xinyan, asking, "Last night, what's the deal with you and Kang Cheng? Are you planning to date him?"
