After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 19 Dating

Hua Meimei felt that the photo on Fei Chenfeng's WeChat Moments looked familiar, like the food she ate for lunch yesterday.

Because there was a piece of pickled cabbage stem in the little crumb she left in the bowl, exactly the same as in the picture.

"Fei Chenfeng, is that the bowl you posted on your WeChat Moments the one I ate from?" Hua Meimei asked bluntly.

Fei Chenfeng on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, then quickly laughed, "Yes."

"Why are you taking pictures of it? Haha, what do you mean by 'we must have met before'? You're not reminiscing about our meeting, are you?"

She doesn't care about social etiquette; she just says what she thinks.

A normal person might know the truth but not say it, but she doesn't.

Fei Chenfeng hadn't expected her to become so cheerful, so he laughed, "Yes. It's been over seven years since we last saw each other. Is it wrong to reminisce a little?"

"Of course, do as you please." She felt nothing in particular; compared to Fei Chenfeng's nostalgia, she seemed carefree.

"Do you have time today? I'd like to treat you to dinner," Fei Chenfeng said.

"Okay." Hua Meimei happened to have some time.

"What do you want to eat?"

She said, "I'm not a picky eater, so I'm easy to feed."

In the living room, Luo Jiuyu sat motionless.

The TV was playing a period drama starring Mu Siran, but he muted it.

He could hear the conversation coming from her room very clearly.

After agreeing on the time and place for dinner, the phone call ended, and Hua Meimei didn't come out again.

Mu Siran's ancient costume was breathtakingly beautiful, and her charming smile captivated him. He stared at the beauty on the television screen, his mind gradually becoming enthralled.

How long has it been since I last saw Mu Siran?

After she became famous for starring in a movie when she was sixteen, she rarely came to the Luo family anymore. He was fifteen years old that year.

Later, at the age of eighteen, he left the Luo family and lived alone, never returning. That year, Mu Siran was nineteen and won Best Actress for a film.

Upon seeing the news, he bought a movie ticket and went to the cinema to watch the film. Looking at her on the screen, his mind went completely blank.

She's too dazzling; how can he keep up with her in just a few years?

In recent years, Mu Siran has been very successful in the entertainment industry and has no time for dating.

Occasionally, I see paparazzi photos in the news of someone he's supposedly dating; the figure appears to be his half-brother, Lorne.

The Luo family group is still under the control of his father, Luo Mingzhe, but Luo Mingzhe is slowly handing over power to his eldest son, Luo En.

Luo Mingzhe has three children, including a daughter named Luo Qingqing, who is between Luo En and Luo Jiuyu.

Luo Qingqing studies abroad most of the year and rarely comes home.

Luo Qingqing and Luo En are from the same parents, and neither of them is close to Luo Jiuyu.

In the Luo family, only the old man and the old woman still cared about him.

However, the elderly couple had many grandchildren, nine in total, and he was the youngest. With so many children, the elderly couple could only give him so much attention.

So, all things considered, he was the least valued child in the Luo family.

Because of his mother, he had a difficult childhood in the Luo family.

Lost in thought, Luo Jiuyu felt a little annoyed and grabbed the remote to turn off the TV.

When he returned to his room, he found that Hua Meimei's door was still open, and she was sleeping on the bed like a frog.

There was no blanket covering them.

He frowned and stepped into the master bedroom.

A moment later, he came out and went into Berry's room.

Whether it was out of kindness or obsessive-compulsive disorder, he just wanted to cover her with a blanket.

After covering her with the blanket, I closed the door for her.

It's a little past four o'clock now, and he overheard Hua Meimei and Fei Chenfeng agreeing to have dinner at six o'clock.

Winter nights come early; it gets dark around 5:30 p.m.

Hua Meimei put on her newly bought blue-green gradient wool dress and sky-blue embroidered cape coat. She applied beautiful makeup and carried an elegant handbag.

Upon arriving at the entrance, I picked out a pair of newly purchased white high-heeled ankle boots.

She turned around in front of the mirror in the entryway, and her outfit made her look fair and elegant. Satisfied, she whistled as she went out.

She treated Fei Chenfeng, such a handsome guy, as a date.

Luo Jiuyu, who was sitting in a hanging chair by the French windows reading a book, saw what she was doing. As soon as she left, he put the book down with some annoyance.

I don't like being disturbed while reading.

If I get disturbed, I lose my focus on reading.

Hua Meimei arrived at the entrance of the residential area to hail a taxi.

A BMW with license plate ending in H52 was parked outside the gate of the residential compound.

Fei Chenfeng was standing right next to the BMW.

When he saw her come out, he raised his hand to greet her.

He also looked meticulously dressed, very handsome, and his hair was styled, quite different from when I saw him yesterday.

"Huh, what are you doing here?" Hua Meimei asked in surprise as she went up to her.

"I've come to pick you up," Fei Chenfeng said with a smile.

How did you know I live in this neighborhood?

"Perhaps you've taken too many taxis and don't remember my license plate number," Fei Chenfeng said with a mysterious smile.

Hua Meimei really doesn't remember.

"On your first day of live streaming, you were so busy that you took a taxi late at night after the broadcast, and that taxi was mine." He reminded her of the details, then hurriedly explained as if he remembered something, "It was too dark that night, so I didn't dare to confirm that it was you and didn't say hello. Later, I watched your live streams every day and felt that it must be you."

She didn't remember the license plate number, but she remembered it was a BMW.

"Do you drive part-time to earn extra money?" she asked.

Fei Chenfeng opened the passenger door for her and invited her to get in: "Occasionally, I guess."

She didn't think he was short of money. Perhaps he was earning extra money to pass the time.

They got into the car and drove to the agreed-upon restaurant.

Baolang Hotel.

The stylish and elegant dining environment is perfect for dates.

Baolang Restaurant is a well-known chain restaurant. The ambiance is upscale, and while prices are slightly higher, they are still within an acceptable range. It's one of the most popular dining spots for young professionals.

Fei Chenfeng originally wanted to treat Hua Meimei to Western food. She didn't like eating with a knife and fork and said she didn't need to go to an expensive place, so he took her to Baolang Hotel.

"What do you like to eat?" Fei Chenfeng placed the exquisite cookbook in front of her.

"I like to eat meat," she said, flipping open a recipe book.

He smiled and pointed to a picture on the menu, "I heard that this restaurant's signature crispy duck is pretty good."

His fingers are fair, long, and slender; they are truly beautiful.

She couldn't help but stare at it for a moment. She didn't look at the picture he was pointing to.

Fei Chenfeng noticed her gaze, so he slightly opened his palm and placed it on the menu, letting her see it all.

The man has such a handsome face and such beautiful hands, he's leaving no chance for women!

Seeing that she didn't know what to order, Fei Chenfeng started flipping through the menu and introducing her to the more famous dishes one by one.

His fingers moved slowly across the recipe book, pointing at the pictures of food.

Hua Meimei was so focused on him that she didn't notice which dish looked the best.

"After looking at so many dishes, don't you like any of them? How about we go to another restaurant?" Fei Chenfeng said.

His finger happened to stop at a picture of pig blood sausage.

She said, "I'd like a crispy duck and this."

Fei Chenfeng glanced at the blood sausage and frowned slightly. "You like to eat blood sausage?"

"I've never had this before, let me try it." Hua Meimei smiled.

“…Okay.” Fei Chenfeng didn’t want to spoil her mood.

The two ordered two more dishes and two appetizer cheese desserts.

The cheese was served first, and the two chatted while waiting for the other dishes.

"I heard you've been in Tiancheng all these years. How have you been?" Fei Chenfeng asked.

Hua Meimei pursed her lips. "Just like that, an ordinary person, eating, drinking, and going to the toilet every day."

Fei Chenfeng was amused by her unruly attitude and smiled, "Your personality has changed a lot."

"Yes, girls change a lot as they grow up."

"You're getting more and more beautiful." Fei Chenfeng looked at her with admiration.

"Thank you." Berry felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and offered him some cheese.

The two of them lowered their heads and ate their cheese for a while. The air became slightly quiet.

"Didn't you go abroad? Why are you back now?" Hua Meimei broke the silence.
