My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 23 Dizzy with Busyness



"No problem!" Gao Fei readily agreed, "Signing an agreement is indeed essential. With an agreement, we'll have much less trouble between us."

"Good, I'll prepare the contract now and contact you when it's ready. Oh, what's your mobile number?" Shen Caidie asked.

Gao Fei told Shen Caidie his mobile number. Then Shen Caidie took out her phone, dialed the number, and hung up after one ring.

"There, I've called you. Save my number," she said, standing up. "I'll be off now. Wait for my call… Oh, right, I've already paid for the coffee. Just leave after you finish it." After finishing her sentence, Shen Caidie left the café with light footsteps.

She was in a very good mood, having secured a lot of jade raw materials today, and managed to recruit a super talent; it was indeed a double blessing.

"Intelligent, beautiful, generous, smart, and with a strong sense of career... Such a nearly perfect woman is indeed rare," Gao Fei held a high opinion of Shen Caidie.

After finishing the coffee, Gao Fei stood up and left the café.

In the time that followed, Gao Fei purchased some more stones, most of which were cut into jade, though they were just ordinary jade that didn't sell for very much. In order not to attract attention, he deliberately chose some worthless stones. That way, others wouldn't be too surprised and would at most think he was just lucky.

After a day of wandering around, Gao Fei had a clear understanding of Gambling Stone Street. There were many stones on this street, but very few that contained good jade—most were duds.

It gradually grew dark.

Just as Gao Fei was about to head home, his mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Liu Mengyao calling: "Hello? What's up?"

"...I said I'd treat you to dinner tonight, haven't you forgotten?" Liu Mengyao's crisp voice came from the phone.

"Dinner?" Gao Fei was startled, then slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory! I completely forgot about that."

"You're unbelievable!" Liu Mengyao snorted, "Ordinarily, so many men want to treat me to dinner, but all have been rejected by me! Now I take the initiative to invite you and you don't even care. Do I really hold such little status in your eyes?"

"No... it's not like that," Gao Fei quickly explained, "I was just too busy today! I've been so busy I'm nearly dizzy…"

"Alright, spare me the excuses," Liu Mengyao huffed, "Where are you right now? I'll come pick you up!"

"Oh, I'm at Gambling Stone Street on Shunping Road..." Gao Fei gave the address.

"I'll be there soon," Liu Mengyao hung up the phone.

Gao Fei pocketed his phone and smiled wryly, "Look at my memory, forgetting such an important event as a beautiful lady asking me out to dinner." About twenty minutes later, Liu Mengyao arrived on a motorcycle.

"Hop on," Liu Mengyao threw a helmet to Gao Fei.

"Honestly, this is the first time I've ever ridden on a motorcycle," Gao Fei put on the helmet and sat on the motorcycle.

"Ready!" Liu Mengyao twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle roared off.

The wind rushed in his face, blowing all of Liu Mengyao's long hair around, some strands brushing against Gao Fei's face, tickling pleasantly. She rode the motorcycle fast through the streets, overtaking many other vehicles in just a moment.

"Hey," Gao Fei leaned in and shouted, "Why do you like to ride a motorcycle?"

"Can't afford a four-wheeled sedan; I can only ride a motorcycle," Liu Mengyao's answer made Gao Fei purse his lips.

"Oh, come on," Gao Fei chuckled, "As far as I know, a police officer's salary is not low, especially in big cities..."

"I've only been working for two years, and I spend a lot, so I really can't save money," Liu Mengyao explained, "Actually, I think... riding a motorcycle isn't bad either. On one hand, it saves money, and on the other, it lets you go for a ride. Even in traffic jams, I can weave through the gaps, saving a lot of time."

"Hmm, what you say makes some sense," Gao Fei nodded, "Riding a motorcycle truly is a nice experience."

Half an hour later, the motorcycle began to slow down, finally stopping in front of a two-story building.

"We're here," Liu Mengyao pulled out the key and jumped off the motorcycle, "I don't have much money, so I can't afford fancy hotels. We can only eat in a place like this. I hope you don't mind." Liu Mengyao was straightforward, saying what she thought without considering her own face, which was quite commendable.

"You're overthinking it," Gao Fei laughed, "I also come from a poor family. I'm not demanding about meals! It's good enough if I can fill my stomach."

"Let's go, let's head inside," Liu Mengyao led Gao Fei into the restaurant and then into a private room.

The room wasn't large and was plainly decorated, but it looked clean. Two fans were hanging on the wall, blowing air back and forth, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air.

"Let's order," Liu Mengyao handed the menu to Gao Fei.

"You order," Gao Fei pushed the menu back, "Just pick a few homestyle dishes. Oh, and get me two bottles of beer."

Liu Mengyao did not decline further, immediately called the waiter and ordered a few more expensive dishes and also ordered two bottles of beer. In no time at all, the food and drinks were served, the tempting aroma instantly arousing Gao Fei's appetite.

"Let's eat," Gao Fei didn't stand on ceremony with Liu Mengyao, picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat: "Mmm, delicious, truly delicious! Especially this fish, it's made really well."

"If it's tasty, eat more," Liu Mengyao skillfully opened the beer and filled Gao Fei's glass, then poured one for herself.

"You're riding a motorcycle, how can you drink beer?" Gao Fei remarked.

"Drinking a little won't hurt, at worst we'll just leave the motorbike here and take a taxi home," Liu Mengyao raised her glass without further discussion, "Here, I toast to you! I want to formally express my gratitude, thank you for saving my life!"

"Let's not bring up the past," Gao Fei put down his chopsticks and gently clinked his glass against Liu Mengyao's before tilting his head back to down the drink in one gulp, "Refreshing! That's what beer should be!"

Liu Mengyao also drained her glass in one go, without turning red or out of breath, showing she too could hold her liquor.

In the following time, the two of them alternated between drinking and eating while occasionally chatting, the atmosphere quite harmonious.

"Gao Fei, have you practiced martial arts before?" Liu Mengyao suddenly asked, "I noticed that when you overpowered the thug, your moves were very systematic and quick. You must have been trained!"

"Sort of," Gao Fei nodded noncommittally.

"Where did you train?" Liu Mengyao pressed him, "I'll be honest, I've also practiced martial arts myself! I've even won the city's martial arts championship. I thought I was quite impressive, but after seeing you in action, I realized... there are always people better than you."

"I just trained randomly," Gao Fei said with a laugh, "It was really just luck that I managed to subdue that thug yesterday. If it happened again, the outcome might not be the same."

"You're quite modest," Liu Mengyao said with a slight smile.

"Oh? You can smile?" Gao Fei's eyes widened, "I thought you never smiled!"

"You're the one who doesn't smile!"

"Seriously though, you look really nice when you smile! If you ask me, you should smile more often instead of always keeping such a straight face."

"Aren't you a bit too nosy?"

"Alright, if you don't want to listen, just pretend I never said anything."

...

After a hearty meal and enough to drink, Liu Mengyao took the initiative to settle the bill, then walked out of the restaurant with Gao Fei.

"Gao Fei, let's spar sometime," she suggested.

"Uhh..."

"Or maybe you could give me some pointers? Help me enhance my strength!"

"That's…"

"It's settled then. I'll call you when I'm free!"

"..." Gao Fei was speechless. Liu Mengyao was truly domineering when it came to things she decided on, never allowing others the chance to refuse.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Liu Mengyao rode her motorbike over and patted the back seat, "What are you dazing out for? Hurry up, I'm taking you home!"

"You've been drinking; it's better not to ride a motorbike. It'd be bad if something happened."

"Don't worry! I can hold my liquor, the amount I drank today isn't even enough to wedge between my teeth."

"Don't forget, you're a cop! If a traffic cop catches you drunk driving, you'll be in trouble."

"So what if I'm a cop? Can't a cop let loose once in a while? Besides, the traffic cops know me, they won't stop me."

Under Liu Mengyao's insistence, Gao Fei had no choice but to put on a helmet and sit on the motorbike.

"Whoosh!"

The motorbike shot out like an arrow.

Shortly after, the motorbike stopped in front of the residential complex where Gao Fei lived.

Gao Fei hopped off the motorbike and hung the helmet on the rear seat, "Alright, you can go now, and be careful on the road."

"Don't forget our agreement, let's find some time to properly spar," Liu Mengyao threw out these words before driving off on the motorbike, a sight of a beautiful woman riding on an empty road at night, adorned by the street lights on both sides, creating a picturesque scene.

"Though impetuous, she has a good character, straight-talking and doesn't hold back. She's suitable to be friends with," Gao Fei muttered to himself.

Only after Liu Mengyao's figure disappeared completely did Gao Fei turn and walk into the residential complex.

Ever since he received the "Demon God Heritage," Gao Fei's life began to grow more colorful; not only did he quickly make a fortune, but he also met several beautiful women. Life's encounters are indeed marvelous.
