Chapter 824 Rapid progress(1/2)
"Thank you for your help this time."
This time the car was stolen and it was quickly recovered. Lucy was really helpful.
Therefore, Chen Feng was of course grateful to her and formally expressed his gratitude to her.
Lucy smiled and said: "The main reason why your car was recovered is because of your luck. I didn't help much."
"You did help me a lot." Chen Feng said solemnly again.
Seeing this, Lucy couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, don't be so serious. I accept your thanks. Just treat me to a nice meal later."
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "That's natural. I specially invited a chef from our country, Long State, to study in Houston. Her Chinese food is very good. You will know when you try her cooking later."
"You don't need to be so grand, right?" Lucy was a little flattered immediately, thinking that Chen Feng had specially invited a professional chef to entertain her.
Chen Feng knew that she had misunderstood, and explained with a smile: "She is actually the chef I hired not long ago to cook for us. She is mainly my sister. She has cancer and she comes here for treatment. In terms of diet,
Requires special conditioning.”
When Chen Feng was talking, he specifically pointed to Zhou Qianru, who was just bringing tea to Lucy.
Lucy took the tea brought by Zhou Qianru, said "thank you", and then said: "Sorry, I didn't know you were sick."
Zhou Qianru could still understand this and immediately said: "It doesn't matter, my disease can be cured, it just takes some time."
Lucy smiled and nodded: "That's great, thank God. You are Chen's sister, what do you call her?"
Zhou Qianru said quickly: "My name is Zhou Qianru, you can call me Ru or Zhou."
Lucy smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I used to have a friend and we called her Zhou. I know this is your last name, so I'll call you Ru."
"Okay, you can just call me Ru from now on." Zhou Qianru nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Is your friend also from our Dragon Kingdom?"
Lucy shook her head and said: "No, he is from the Han country, a man in his thirties. He used to be a colleague of mine and a policeman, but then he was shot and wounded in the leg. After he recovered,
His legs and feet are no longer flexible, you know, so he can't continue to be a policeman and has to retire. He now opens a restaurant, their Hanguo BBQ, which tastes pretty good. I've eaten there several times.
"
"That's it."
Lucy's words were spoken a bit too fast. Zhou Qianru only understood the general outline but not the specifics, but she could only pretend to understand.
Chen Feng took over and said: "It seems that the police is really a dangerous profession. How many years have you been a policeman?"
Lucy thought for a moment and said, "It's been five years."
Chen Feng asked with some surprise: "Has it been five years? I think you are only in your mid-twenties, right? You became a police officer in your mid-twenties?"
Lucy smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment. In fact, I am already twenty-eight years old this year. After graduating from the police academy at the age of twenty-three, I officially joined the police force."
Chen Feng was really surprised when he heard that she was actually twenty-eight years old.
You must know that what Mei Lijia said here is only one year old. If calculated according to Longguo's imaginary age, she would be at least twenty-nine years old, or even thirty years old.
But just looking at her appearance, she really looks like she is in her mid-twenties.
This is not just because she has black ancestry, her skin color is slightly darker, and she does not look old, but it is also mainly because her skin is good and well maintained.
This may also be related to her long-term fitness, which makes her look younger than her actual age.
"Are you really twenty-eight years old?" Chen Feng asked directly.
Asking a woman her age here in America would not be too abrupt.
"Yes, how old are you?" Lucy asked.
After Chen Feng calculated his own month, he said: "I am also 28 years old."
Chen Feng didn't lie. According to the actual age, he was thirty years old, but because he was born in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, of course he was only 28 years old.
"That's a coincidence, we are the same age." Lucy said happily, looking at Chen Feng with a certain look in her eyes.
Of course Zhou Qianru could understand the look in Lucy's eyes, and added with a smile: "It's really a fate that you two happen to know each other like this."
After hearing this, Lucy looked at Zhou Qianru and asked with a smile: "Do you know how Chen and I met?"
Zhou Qianru nodded slightly awkwardly: "Well, after I came back before, I asked him and he told me."
Lucy smiled and asked, "He didn't say anything bad about me, did he?"
Zhou Qianru immediately shook her head in denial: "Of course not. He just thought it was such a coincidence that he just met you in the morning, and then met you again in the afternoon. And then you helped him recover the stolen car."
Lucy nodded and said: "It's indeed magical. That's why I feel destined to be with him. Chen, do you think so?"
Chen Feng smiled and said matter-of-factly: "Of course."
Even if Chen Feng doesn't want this fate, he has to admit that the arrangement of fate is very magical, or that his luck in love is just too good.
After receiving Chen Feng's affirmative answer, Lucy seemed very happy and laughed happily, looking cheerful and free.
Next, Zhou Qianru mainly talked to Lucy in her somewhat awkward accent. Lucy took care of her English listening and slowed down her speaking speed.
The two women chatted for a while, and Zhou Qianru introduced Miao Na and Chu Xiaoling to her more formally.
He knew that Miao Na was the bodyguard and escort hired by Chen Feng's younger brother for Zhou Qianru, and that Chu Xiaoling was the poor female college student that Chen Feng rescued.
These two points alone made Lucy stand in awe of Chen Feng and give her a little more appreciation in her heart.
And this is also the result Zhou Qianru wants. She does intend to bring the relationship between Chen Feng and Lucy to a deeper level.
For no other reason than to increase the safety of Chen Feng and her life here.
It wasn't until Li Zehui finally cooked the food and everyone went over to eat together that the two stopped chatting temporarily.
During the meal, Li Zehui cooked more than a dozen Longguo dishes, and almost every one of them suited Lucy's taste. She praised them for being delicious and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
After all, she is also a fitness person, but this time she did not deliberately control her food intake. She ate two bowls of rice, and most of the other delicious dishes went into her stomach.
Not to mention, this woman has quite a big appetite.
After she had finished her meal, she remembered the bottle of wine she had brought and asked Chen Feng to open it so that everyone could have a few drinks together.
But Zhou Qianru and Chu Xiaoling are both ill, so of course they cannot drink, and Miao Na, as a hired bodyguard, is not suitable for drinking either.
So, only Chen Feng and Lucy drank.
Chen Feng didn't know the price of this Bordeaux red wine, but it was quite smooth to drink.
The two of them had a glass of wine and drank the whole bottle of red wine while chatting and eating.
After eating and drinking, Chen Feng saw that Chu Xiaoling looked very uncomfortable, so he asked her to go upstairs to rest first.
Miao Na stayed on the first floor and continued to be a transparent person. Mainly Chen Feng, Lucy, and Zhou Qianru continued chatting on the sofa in the living room.
"Chen, do you have a girlfriend?"
Lucy, who looked slightly drunk, suddenly asked Chen Feng this question.
Before Chen Feng could answer, Zhou Qianru on the side said: "He doesn't have a girlfriend yet. What about you, do you have a boyfriend?"
Lucy smiled and shook her head and said, "Neither did I. Oh, I mean, I haven't dated for more than half a year. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Qianru nodded and said: "Of course. However, a beautiful and sexy woman like you shouldn't be pursued by no one, right?"
"Of course I have people chasing me, but I don't like any of the people chasing me."
After saying this, Lucy glanced at Chen Feng with crooked eyebrows, who looked like an old god.
Chen Feng was a little speechless at this time. He obviously already had a girlfriend, at least in name, but Zhou Qianru said she didn't.
If he corrected her, it would be like slapping Zhou Qianru in the face, which would make her look bad.
But if you don’t tell the truth, doesn’t it mean you are deliberately deceiving others?
This is not what a gentleman would do.
So, Chen Feng said in a compromise way: "Although I don't have a very formal girlfriend yet, I have several female friends with whom I have very good relationships."
Lucy was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then pointed at Zhou Qianru with a smile and asked, "Are you referring to a female friend like Ru?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Of course not, I mean the kind of opposite-sex friends who have a close relationship between the two sexes. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Feng said this, and of course Lucy didn't understand the truth. Her face suddenly stiffened, and then she asked with a forced smile: "Are you kidding me?"
"What I said is true." Chen Feng said with a serious face, "I am actually a playboy."
Lucy was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Okay, I admit that I was amused by you. You said that you were a playboy with such a serious look. It was really funny. I almost believed it."
When Chen Feng saw her like this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He dared to tell the truth, but others still didn't believe it.
"Do you really think I'm joking?" Chen Feng asked helplessly.
"Otherwise?" Lucy asked with a smile, "Where are your female friends? None of them are with you? Don't tell me they are all in the Dragon Kingdom?"
When Chen Feng thought about it, it was true that except for Brina, all of his close female friends were in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Well, most of them are in Dragon Country. But one of them is also in America, but not in Houston. She is back in Los Angeles. She will come here in a few days."
"Oh, really? Didn't you say that you came to America for the first time not long ago? How did we meet?"
"She and I met in the Dragon Kingdom, and she came to visit our Dragon Kingdom at that time."
"What's her name? What does she do?"
