Feng Yuanlin still didn’t know that the green light on his head had deepened yet again. Thinking of his recent cold war, or rather, how Qin Qing was one-sidedly ignoring him, Feng Yuanlin pinched the space between his eyebrows helplessly.
He had stayed at Zhenbai’s house last night, but said goodbye only to Zhenbai when he left. Zhou Manning’s case was now in his hands, however, so he had some things to ask Zhenbai’s wife.
He couldn’t help but call Zhenbai’s wife. As soon as the call went through, Feng Yuanlin said, “Zhenbai’s wife, are you free? How about I treat you to supper tonight?”
“So good?”
“I happen to have something I need your help with!” Feng Yuanlin said, “Zhou Manning’s case has already been handed over to me. Zhenbai’s wife, you have to give me some advice and leads. I don’t trust anyone else but you.”
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but think of Feng Yuanlin’s worrisome girlfriend. She was really afraid that the woman would overthink Chi Shuyan’s relationship with Director Feng. She looked at the sky and said, “Director Feng, it’s a bit late. Why don’t we do it tomorrow?”
Feng Yuanlin thought she was afraid that Zhenbai would be jealous, so he chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your man later. I’m not afraid that Zhenbai will be jealous.”
Chi Shuyan: …
In the end, the two decided to eat at a food stall nearby. Feng Yuanlin was a rough man, so he could eat anywhere. Chi Shuyan also wasn’t picky.
In addition, some of the food here was really good. Eating here once in a while wasn’t bad.
When the two arrived at the food stall, Feng Yuanlin was worried that the place was too shabby, and was also afraid that Zhenbai’s wife would find it dirty. He immediately said that he was a little poor these days and would definitely treat her to a meal at a high-end restaurant in a few days. He also said that the food at this stall was really good and wasn’t inferior to the food at those high-end restaurants.
Chi Shuyan thought of Feng Yuanlin’s current position. No matter what, he was still part of the capital’s police force, so how could he lack money to spend? Besides, Qi Zhenbai said that Director Feng’s family was rich.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and smiled teasingly. “Director Feng, are you that short of money? No matter how I look at you, you don’t look like someone who lacks money.”
Feng Yuanlin was a bit embarrassed. “Isn’t it all in my wife’s hands? Ah Qing didn’t answer my call earlier. Okay, let’s not talk about this. Zhenbai’s wife, don’t laugh at me for being afraid of my wife!”
Seeing that Zhenbai’s wife didn’t care at all about how shabby or dirty the roadside stall was, Feng Yuanlin heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes curiously. “Director Feng…”
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Yuanlin interrupted her with a chuckle. “Alright, don’t call me Director Feng. We’re all on the same side; call me Brother Feng! I’m older than Zhenbai, so you won’t lose out by calling me Brother Feng!”
When the boss brought the menu over, Feng Yuanlin recommended a lot of good food. Chi Shuyan had been busy buying herbs and with Zhou Manqing’s matter earlier. She hadn’t had dinner yet, and was a little hungry now, so she accepted many of Feng Yuanlin’s recommendations.
The boss came back with the signature hot and sour zhajiang noodles and all sorts of barbecue meat, and the two ate quite happily.
Seeing that Zhenbai’s wife really didn’t mind as she ate happily, Feng Yuanlin had a better impression of her.
He couldn’t help but recall a time when he went out to eat with Qin Qing.
He thought that the food stall was good and specially brought her over for a meal. Who would have thought that she would find fault with one thing or another. In the end, she didn’t touch anything.
Feng Yuanlin still felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.
