My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 29: Face



The waitress judged from Gao Fei's attire that he wasn't a wealthy man and couldn't possibly afford the expensive Mercedes, so her attitude toward Gao Fei became rather cold.

"What do you mean by that?" Gao Fei narrowed his eyes, "You think I can't afford this Mercedes?"

"Can you afford it?" the waitress countered, "This Mercedes car sells for 1.8 million, listen clearly, 1.8 million! Can you afford it? Not to mention anything else, just the seat covers alone are worth tens of thousands. The money you earn in a year wouldn't be enough to buy even one seat cover!" This remark was somewhat offending to Gao Fei's pride.

"Hehe..." Gao Fei smirked, "Is 1.8 million a lot?" With that, Gao Fei took out a bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into the waitress's hand.

The waitress was stunned by Gao Fei's action, "What are you doing?"

"Paying with the card," Gao Fei said, "I'll take this car! Go swipe the card, the password is six threes followed by three eights."

"Ah..." The waitress was completely dumbfounded, she looked at Gao Fei foolishly, "You... what did you say... you want to buy this Mercedes..."

"Yes." Gao Fei nodded, "Hurry up and swipe the card! I'm in a rush to drive off!"

Finally, the waitress came to her senses. She realized she had misjudged today, that the unassuming man in front of her was a bona fide rich man! Thinking back on her behavior just now, the waitress's face began to turn red, "I'm sorry... I just now... was blinded... I've offended you...

Please be generous and don't hold it against me..."

"Miss," Gao Fei smirked, "Remember this saying: 'Don't judge a book by its cover!' Some people may look very ordinary on the surface, but their status is actually very noble! Some people may seem flashy outwardly, but in reality, they are all just pretenders."

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, sir. I'll take your words to heart and never judge by appearances again." The waitress nodded repeatedly, receiving a proper lesson from Gao Fei today.

"All right, go swipe the card." Seeing that she had voluntarily admitted her mistake and apologized, the anger in Gao Fei's heart subsided for the most part, and he decided not to make it difficult for the waitress any longer.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The waitress wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurried off with the bank card.

"Nowadays, people are just too snobbish," Gao Fei shook his head, letting out a light sigh, "They look down on me because of my ordinary clothes? But when I take out a bank card, they immediately change their tune, utterly ridiculous." This is a widespread phenomenon that can be seen anytime, anywhere.

The world is such a helpless place; while society has progressed, people's hearts have regressed, such a sad state of affairs.

A few minutes later, the waitress returned and handed the bank card back to Gao Fei with respect, "The money has been transferred... 1.8 million..." Saying this, the waitress also handed Gao Fei some receipts.

"Can I drive the car away now?" Gao Fei casually tossed the bank card back into his pocket.

"Yes, of course, you can." The waitress nodded eagerly. After witnessing Gao Fei's wealth, her attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.

Gao Fei bent down to sit in the car, familiarizing himself with the controls before driving away in the Mercedes. He had gotten his driver's license a long time ago; he just never had the money to buy a car. Now that he had money, he went straight for a Mercedes, which would definitely earn him respect if he drove it back to his hometown.

Watching Gao Fei drive away, the waitress let out a long breath and muttered to herself, "I can't judge people by their appearances anymore."

...

Under the scorching sun.

A brand-new Mercedes tore down the highway, looking like a streak of black lightning from a distance, filled with a stunning sense of beauty.

"This car is so cool to drive!" Gao Fei grinned from ear to ear.

"Right, I need to get a license plate! Without a plate, the police will definitely stop me!" Gao Fei remembered something, "I've heard that getting a plate is a hassle with a lottery and long lines... Oh right, isn't Mengyao a police officer?

She's part of the same system as the traffic police, so her involvement would definitely make things easier." With that thought, Gao Fei took out his phone and dialed Mengyao's number.

"Dudu dudu dudu..."

The phone rang a few times before it was picked up, and Liu Mengyao's voice came through, "Gao Fei?"

"It's me," Gao Fei nodded, "I need a favor from you, if it's not too inconvenient."

"What's up?"

"Well, I just bought a new car and want to get license plates for it, but I don't know anyone at the traffic police department..."

"I'll take care of it for you, it's just a license plate, I'll have it done today."

"Ah, thank you so much."

"Actually, even if you didn't call me, I was going to contact you."

"Contact me? What for?" Gao Fei asked, puzzled.

"To fulfill a promise," Mengyao said, "You personally promised me a few days ago, that when you had the time, you would have a sparring session with me."

"You still remember that?"

"I always have a good memory! How about this, I'll bring you the license plates this afternoon, and then we can find a place to have a good practice session."

"...All right." Gao Fei figured that Mengyao wouldn't let it go until they had their sparring session.

"See you this afternoon!" After arranging a meeting time, Mengyao ended the call.

...

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Inside a practice field.

Liu Mengyao and Gao Fei stood facing each other, both with serious expressions on their faces.

"I would have never guessed—you're actually a tycoon," Liu Mengyao broke the silence, "To buy a Benz worth over a million on a whim, that's really something."

Gao Fei smiled faintly, "I've done a few deals recently and made some money."

"How about it, the license plate number I picked for you isn't bad, right?"

"It's great! Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal another day."

"You said it, no going back on your word."

"A gentleman's word is his bond! I absolutely won't go back on it!"

"Alright, let's start sparring!" No sooner had she finished speaking than Liu Mengyao leapt high into the air and aimed a swift kick at Gao Fei's chest.

Gao Fei sidestepped effortlessly, dodging Liu Mengyao's incoming kick. Mengyao changed her move swiftly. Twisting her body, she appeared behind Gao Fei. Then Liu Mengyao's fists were seen smashing down toward Gao Fei's head, her knuckles slicing through the air, producing a muffled sound that indicated the power behind the punches.

Gao Fei seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, as he reached back precisely and seized Liu Mengyao's wrists, gave a light tug, and then a gentle push, sending Mengyao's fierce figure flying.

"Shoo!"

After tumbling twice in mid-air, Liu Mengyao landed steadily on the ground,

"Clap clap clap..."

Gao Fei clapped his hands and praised, "Not bad, your reflexes are great! Your body coordination is also good! It's rare for someone to reach this level of proficiency." What Gao Fei said was heartfelt; for a woman to train to this degree was truly not simple.

Practicing martial arts is not an easy task; it requires immense perseverance and willpower, along with a certain talent, and years of continuous practice to achieve success.

The reason Gao Fei possessed such high-level skills was entirely because he had inherited the Demon God Heritage. To put it bluntly, Gao Fei had enabled a cheat; with the cheat assisting him, how could he not be formidable?

If one were to measure their strengths in terms of Combat Power, the difference would be crystal clear.

Gao Fei's Combat Power was 1000 points, while Liu Mengyao's was 90 points—a tenfold difference. In fact, Gao Fei had been holding back today; otherwise, Liu Mengyao would have been lying on the ground long ago.

In Gao Fei's eyes, Liu Mengyao's Combat Power was very low, but compared to others, she was quite formidable.

"Again!"

Liu Mengyao's competitive spirit fully erupted as she transformed into a blast of wind, launching a barrage of attacks against Gao Fei. She unleashed everything she had learned without reservation, but still she was no match for Gao Fei.

Facing Liu Mengyao's relentless assault, Gao Fei responded with ease, even offering pointers at times, "That punch was slightly off... that move wasn't quite right... lower your foot a bit, the force will be greater... and there's a problem with this move too..."

"Thud!"

In the midst of the action, Liu Mengyao suddenly fell seated on the ground, gasping for breath, "No more... no more... I'm exhausted... this is exhausting..." At this moment, she was drained of all energy, her body feeble, even the slightest movement seemed difficult.

On the other hand, Gao Fei was neither red-faced nor out of breath, as if nothing had happened.

The disparity between the two was stark!

"You're like a monster," Liu Mengyao said with a bitter smile, "A big monster! Not only is your kung fu terrifyingly good, but you also never seem to get tired. I really want to open you up and see what you're made of."

"Actually, you've done quite well, really," Gao Fei said earnestly, "As long as you keep working hard, you'll continue to improve."

"Don't worry, I'll keep at it! I'll defeat you one of these days!"

"Defeat me?" Gao Fei laughed, "I doubt you'll manage that in this lifetime."

"Just you wait! One day I'll beat you to a pulp!" Liu Mengyao waved her fist at Gao Fei. After resting for a while, Liu Mengyao recovered some strength and could barely stand up. Although defeated today, she felt good because the fight had enlightened her on many things and had greatly improved her skills.

Liu Mengyao's clothes were soaked with sweat and clung to her body, which was very uncomfortable. She said goodbye to Gao Fei and went off to the bathhouse in the backyard to take a bath. When she came out half an hour later,

"Weren't you just saying you'd treat me to dinner?" Liu Mengyao looked at Gao Fei, "There's no time like the present, let's go for it today! I want seafood!"

"Sure, I'll treat you to seafood," Gao Fei readily agreed. Liu Mengyao had assisted him with the license plates, after all, and it was only proper to thank her.
