Chapter 196 – Chen Fei’er’s Thoughts
Watching the river flow from the upper floor of Wangjiang Restaurant[1].
For most Jinling people, being able to treat guests in Wangjiang Restaurant was a face-saving thing.
This century-old restaurant has been operating for a long time, adhering to the tradition of Jiangnan cuisine, integrating the characteristics of Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and foreign cuisine, creating its own flavor and being respected by countless gourmets.
The most commendable thing was that Wangjiang Restaurant in Jinling was the only one by the Yangtze River. Apart from this, it has no branches. The taste was the most authentic. However, business was naturally so very popular and seats were booked a few months in advance.
Especially the location where one could enjoy the view of the river by the window. It couldn’t be booked with only money.
The restaurant was only three stories high, with a pseudo-classic architectural style. A richly ornamented building with an antique flavor.
The most special thing was the 108 palace lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor, which shine brightly at night, supporting the whole building in a magnificent and amazing manner!
When Lu Chen stepped onto the Wangjiang Restaurant, the bright moon had just risen over the vast Yangtze River.
The green willows along the river gave him a faint feeling of “the moon rose to the top of the willow tree, after the dusk”.
At the topmost floor of the Wangjiang Restaurant, that is, the so-called upstairs, Lu Chen saw Chen Fei’er again.
The Queen of Sweet Song changed into a white long-sleeved t-shirt with broken flowers and a pair of dark blue jeans, revealing a pair of jade-like legs. She also sported a pair of sneakers and colored glasses. She looked very fashionable and young.
Her long raven black hair was mostly draped smoothly down her back. A small portion of it was over her undulating chest. It had a special seductive charm.
She put a small ruby bow on her head, which showed a bit of playfulness.
“Sister Fei!”
Lu Chen enjoyed it for one second. And then greeted her naturally.
Chen Fei’er, who was browsing her mobile phone, looked up. She took off her glasses and showed a charming smile: “You came.”
Lu Chen nodded: “I came.”
They smiled at each other, like friends who had known each other for years. They had such a tacit understanding that they didn’t need to speak much nonsense.
Lu Chen sat down opposite her and asked curiously, “What about Sister Zhang?”
Chen Fei’er said, “It’s just the two of us this evening.”
Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He asked with a smile, “Are we on a date?”
Chen Fei’er smiled and asked back, “Is it a date if the elder sister invites the younger brother to dinner?”
Lu Chen smiled bitterly.
Chen Fei’er rolled her eyes at him while feigning anger coquettishly and handed over the menu: “I ordered two, and you order a few more.”
She added: “The food here is very good.”
“Then eat more!”
Lu Chen wasn’t polite either. He received the menu, took a look at it, and selected several dishes.
He was really hungry.
Since he began practicing martial arts every day, Lu Chen’s food intake has at least doubled, and he usually needs a lot of nutrition to replenish his physical strength, not to mention he had a busy and tiring day.
He felt like he could swallow a cow!
Most importantly, Lu Chen’s intuition told him that he didn’t need to be hypocritical and polite in front of Chen Fei’er.
After ordering, Lu Chen called the waiter of the restaurant and told him to serve it quickly.
Chen Fei’er asked with a smile, “Are you very hungry?”
Lu Chen nodded and asked, “Sister Fei, why are you also in Jinling?”
Chen Fei’er explained: “I’m here to participate in a brand endorsement event, and then I read on your blog that you were coming to Jinling to shoot a commercial, so I just invited you to dinner.”
Lu Chen asked, “When will you go back?”
“I will attend the opening of the brand’s flagship store tomorrow. If there is no accident, I will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow…”
She said helplessly, “I have to go to a radio station later this evening to do an interview. She couldn’t get rid of the relationship.”
As an artist, especially a famous one, time really doesn’t belong to themselves.
A big star like Chen Fei’er usually have a full schedule and rarely have personal time.
It was precisely because of this that it was too common for couples in the entertainment industry to be on and off. Everyone was too busy and neglected their families. There wasn’t much time for love and romance. It was normal to have a weak relationship.
Many artists simply don’t fall in love and start a family before the age of 40!
Chen Fei’er turned 30 years old this year. Although she has had a lot of gossip in the past, she has had no real boyfriend.
The two chatted like friends, and the dishes was soon served.
Wangjiang Restaurant really lived up to its reputation. The dishes were made with all colors, fragrances and flavor, which caused Lu Chen’s index finger to move greatly. And regardless of being face-to-face with a beautiful woman, he picked up the chopsticks and ate happily.
Before eating, he didn’t forget to first serve food to Chen Fei’er.
His mother once told Lu Chen that if he eats alone with a girl, he must first serve food to the other party before he can eat himself. This is the demeanor that a boy should have.
Lu Chen has always kept his mother’s teachings in mind.
At the beginning, when he fell in love with Wang Ying, he always served food to the latter, which had already become a habit.
Lu Chen didn’t think too much of it, but Chen Fei’er looked at the dishes he had put into her bowl and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
Except at home, no one has really served food for her during a meal.
For one thing, she was so famous that others dare not offend her. For another, she didn’t like it.
Unless it was a family member.
Lu Chen was, of course, not Chen Fei’er’s relative, but when she saw Lu Chen serving foods to her very naturally, Chen Fei’er not only had no aversion, but even had a touch of shyness and joy. Even she could not explain what she was feeling.
Chen Fei’er didn’t refute that she was very fond of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was tall, handsome, and has outstanding talent. What was rare was that he was very independent, tolerant and easygoing, not arrogant and impetuous, giving people the impression that he was like the big boy next door, outstanding but not unattainable.
Unfortunately, the age gap between the two was a little big.
Lu Chen was 22 years old, while Chen Feier was 30 years old, a difference of eight years.
Chen Fei’er knew that age was not a problem, and it wasn’t an issue to like anyone with her identity and status, but this mental barrier still prevented her to further develop her relationship with Lu Chen.
However, yesterday, she “inadvertently” browsed the blog to see Lu Chen’s news. Knowing that both of them had come to Jinling, she couldn’t help getting in touch with Lu Chen, so there was today’s set visit, and this evening’s… date!
Chen Fei’er felt very relaxed with Lu Chen. The latter didn’t have the kind of reverence or deliberate fawning that young artists felt for their famous and big shot seniors. He acted naturally as if they were longtime friends.
She could see that Lu Chen was also attracted to herself, but she didn’t take the initiative to pursue it. She was very sensible.
Of course, even if Lu Chen took the initiative to pursue, Chen Fei’er wouldn’t agree.
But at the same time, there was also a certain unconvincing thought in her heart, and she couldn’t help but tease the big boy.
“Thank you.”
Chen Feier said in a soft voice.
Lu Chen was surprised: “You’re welcome, Sister Fei, eat quickly. If the food gets cold, it won’t taste good!”
You’re a pig!
Chen Fei’er was really mad at him. She fiercely picked up the honey-fried lamb chop in the bowl, and bit onto it heavily.
She bit it with as much force as if she was biting Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was a little puzzled, but his attention was soon drawn to the delicacies that kept coming up.
To be honest, at this moment, Chen Fei’er’s charm was inferior to these delicacies in Lu Chen’s eyes.
Fortunately, Chen Fei’er didn’t know this.
She was a little depressed.
At the same time, Fan Fan, who was hiding in the trees on the bank of the Yangtze River a hundred meters away, was extremely excited.
Although there were so many mosquitoes that gave him a lot of mosquito bites, Reporter Fan Fan didn’t care at all. He intently held up his SLR camera in his hand and kept shooting at Wangjiang Restaurant.
Big news!
A generation of Queen of Sweet Song , a Jade Girl[2] unexpectedly secretly dated someone for dinner, and the date was Lu Chen, a newcomer in the circle, and it was in Jinling rather than in Beijing.
Love between teacher and student? Romance with a younger man? Did the Heavenly Queen’s sentiment confuse the young rookie? The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, Chen Fei’er’s secret meeting with the folk song genius?
If you want boring, then make it boring. if you want to make it explosive, then make it explosive!
Fan Fan felt that his luck was so d*mn good. He came to Jinling to slack off on his work but ended up catching a big fish.
This was definitely going to make headlines on the entertainment page!
Fan Fan firmly believed this, because neither Chen Fei’er nor Lu Chen brought an assistant with them.
Generally speaking, celebrity friends in the entertainment industry, especially those male and female stars who are just ordinary friends, often brought their own assistants when they have dinner together, so that people will not misunderstand that they are in a relationship or something.
Even if they were photographed by paparazzi, it could be completely explained.
Gossip was a double-edged sword. Some artists liked to use gossip to hype, but many stars are reluctant to get involved. They were afraid that they would lose fans and popularity and attract the dislike of hardcore fans.
In Fan Fan’s view, there must be something fishy going on between Chen Feier and Lu Chen. They were most likely communicating privately. Moreover, the relationship between them was completely traceable, it didn’t suddenly appear out of thin air.
Moreover, even if it wasn’t, what did it matter?
With irrefutable photo evidence and Reporter Fan Fan’s excellent writing, there was a 99% probability that this news would hit the entertainment headlines tomorrow!
Unless it was something as big as Wang Bin’s arrest.
Fan Fan thought more and more happily, while secretly taking pictures while roaring in his heart: “Do not just eat ah. Have some intimate scene ah. Hold hands! Feed each other! Kiss! Would you please do some big stuff?”
Unfortunately, such an intimate scene never appeared.
Lu Chen and Chen Feier left Wangjiang Restaurant after dinner, and they separated at the door.
There was no scene that Fan Fan expected.
Chen Feier left quickly in her Mercedes-Benz, while Lu Chen unexpectedly walked towards the river bank alone.
Right in the direction of Fan Fan.
Fan Fan was startled.
He thought Lu Chen had discovered him and hurriedly put the camera away.
But Lu Chen didn’t even think that there was paparazzi squatting here and took pictures of himself having dinner with Chen Fei’er.
He was just going for a walk along the river and enjoying the night view of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, he did not notice Reporter Fan Fan, who disappeared quietly.
