Chapter 456: Chapter 456

Women always raise their guard around potentially dangerous creatures.

Thus, most women in the world have first-class intuition.

And much of this intuition stems from guarding against ’the other woman’...

Although Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng weren’t officially together yet, Chen Chaonan’s presence and identity posed a real threat to her.

Pu Sangzhi held Huo Feng’s hand, a small gesture that was both a declaration and a display of her status.

She was present when Chen Chaonan confessed to Huo Feng, and she had started to understand Chen Chaonan a bit.

However, she hadn’t expected that Chen Chaonan, already aware of her existence and knowing she was Huo Feng’s girlfriend, would still try to insert herself into her and Huo Feng’s presence.

Just because of this point, considering Chen Chaonan hadn’t given up on Huo Feng...

Pu Sangzhi felt a rise in defense and tension within her heart.

Huo Feng led her by the hand, boastfully arriving in front of Chen Chaonan and said without courtesy, "Didn’t I say I wouldn’t have dinner with you? What are you waiting around here for!"

Chen Chaonan seemed not to mind Huo Feng’s bluntness, only caring to smirk and say, "Didn’t you say you didn’t want to eat at the cafeteria? Then I’ll take you guys somewhere else. I’m familiar with places near Sanzhong. It’s rare for you guys to come here, I must do my duty as a host."

Huo Feng furrowed his brows and rejected, "Hey, can’t you understand my point? My point is, I want to have a meal alone with Sangzhi. Why are you interfering!"

Huo Feng’s attitude was indeed clear-cut. For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

Standing by Huo Feng’s side, Pu Sangzhi nodded with a slight bow, her lips curling into a light smile, brightened by his straightforward attitude.

She always thought that Huo Feng’s unforgiving attitude toward other girls was a very rare quality.

This quality was something most men in the world didn’t possess.

Therefore, this aspect of Huo Feng gave her a sense of security that only he could provide.

Chen Chaonan, being directly rejected by Huo Feng, didn’t seem discouraged but nodded and said, "Then I’ll introduce a good restaurant. I won’t join you, that’s all."

Huo Feng raised his eyebrow and nodded, "That works. Find me a place nearby that tastes good and where I can sit all afternoon. Price isn’t an issue, something a bit more middle-class is fine."

Chen Chaonan nodded, "I know a dessert place nearby that also serves pasta, chicken wings, and such. It tastes not bad, and the price is reasonable, plus you can sit there all afternoon. Let’s go, I’ll take you!"

Thus, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi followed Chen Chaonan.

Under Chen Chaonan’s enthusiastic guidance, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi followed her to a reasonably priced dessert shop near Sanzhong.

Though the shop mainly served desserts, there was still pasta, chicken wings, fries, and taro balls among other main dishes.

After escorting them to this shop, Huo Feng waved his hand at Chen Chaonan ungraciously and said, "Alright, you can go now."

However, Chen Chaonan didn’t seem inclined to leave.

Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi found a four-seater on the second floor and sat down, while Chen Chaonan casually took a seat on the first floor.

Huo Feng stood on the second floor and looked down, seeing Chen Chaonan playing with her phone alone, his brows knitting, "Tsk tsk, like a persistent ghost..."

Pu Sangzhi joined Huo Feng’s side, her gaze also trailing downward, feeling somewhat displeased in her heart, "Should we invite her up?"

Huo Feng glanced sideways at Pu Sangzhi, his tone somewhat reluctant, "Then our alone time is gone."

At that moment, Chen Chaonan on the first floor, seeing that both were paying attention to her, took the initiative to speak, "Don’t worry about me. You eat yours, and I’ll head back to school after I finish eating."

After she said this, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng really felt awkward about leaving her alone on the first floor.

She had brought them to this place, and now that they had arrived, just leaving her by herself downstairs inevitably felt somewhat ungrateful.

So, Pu Sangzhi suppressed the discomfort in her heart and took the initiative to invite, "Come up and eat with us."

Chen Chaonan waved her hand, "No need, I’m quite used to being alone."

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Are you coming up or not? You only get one chance, I won’t bother with you if you don’t come."

Chen Chaonan was silent for a moment, then, without hesitation, got up!

"Alright, I’m coming!"

And so, Chen Chaonan finally had the chance to share a table with them.

At the four-person table, Chen Chaonan sat opposite Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi.

The three of them ordered two servings of pasta, one baked rice, and some snacks and desserts. Huo Feng paid for it all.

"Thanks for treating me to the meal."

Chen Chaonan expressed her thanks to Huo Feng, "I should have been the one treating you two, I didn’t expect to be treated instead. I’m really embarrassed."

Huo Feng tapped his fingers on the table and said, "If you feel embarrassed, then give me the money."

Chen Chaonan nodded, "Okay, I’ll go AA with you later."

Huo Feng waved his hand again, "Forget it, I’ll treat you for your grandpa’s sake."

Chen Chaonan laughed, "Thanks. How did you fare in the exam this morning? Was it smooth?"

This topic stung Huo Feng, who slammed the table excitedly, "Right on the spot! I did wickedly well today! For the first time in my life, the political history test felt so exhilarating! I knew everything! There were hardly any questions I couldn’t answer!"

Pu Sangzhi fixed her gaze on Huo Feng, "Do you want to compare answers?"

Huo Feng’s lips curled slightly in a cocky smile, "Come on! Who’s afraid! You say!"

That fearless attitude toward comparing answers! That’s the confidence only a good student possesses!

Huo Feng finally felt that he had... transcended!
