Chapter 99: I Want Fried Rice with Eggs
As a first-tier city in China and a notable tourist destination, H City’s airport sees a considerable flow of people—though not as many as New York’s. When the three beautiful women—Long Yue, Zhuge Ling’er, and Kelly—stood together, they became a stunning sight at the airport, drawing the attention of almost every man around them.
Of course, Ye Feng and Long Tian, the supporting characters, also performed admirably. They not only sparked jealousy among the men present but also made many feel inferior. They knew that in front of such stunningly beautiful women, most people would seem like ordinary bystanders. Yet Ye Feng and Long Tian’s physiques, appearances, and demeanor far exceeded those of ordinary noblemen. Only by standing beside the three women did they not stand out out of place. These two supporting characters did their jobs well, making the three beauties even more radiant.
“It’s strange—why isn’t there a single beautiful woman at the airport today?” Long Tian asked, looking around anxiously.
“Simple—those three ladies ahead have such strong presence that they overshadow all others!” Ye Feng retorted sarcastically. The envious and jealous looks around made him feel uncomfortable.
“Uh, that makes sense. It seems spending time with beautiful women has improved my taste in beauty!” Long Tian finally realized that compared to Long Yue and the others, even slightly attractive women at the airport seemed like serious flaws. No wonder he found those women unattractive today.
“If this keeps up, where am I supposed to find a wife?” Long Tian complained in a low voice.
“Go to Mars! Find a Martian girl to marry!” Ye Feng said with a sly smile. “Don’t forget, we still have Pearl at home!”
“Stop gloating. You’re not much younger than me. If I’m looking for a Martian girl, you definitely can’t find a Earth girl!” Long Tian pretended to be angry.
“I just turned twenty—not yet of legal marriage age. You’re already in your thirties…” Ye Feng touched his nose and whispered.
“I’m twenty-eight—in the prime of my youth. What does a kid like you know?” Long Tian held his head high, looking arrogant.
“So you’re only sixteen?” Ye Feng sized Long Tian up. “You seem a bit precocious…”
“You little brat, don’t run! Stop right there!!!” Watching the two chase each other around the airport, the three girls couldn’t help but laugh. “Brother Long Tian can be so cute too!” Zhuge Ling’er glanced at Long Yue beside her. “It’s the first time I’ve seen him like this,” Long Yue said with a hint of helplessness in her smile. “Since I can remember, he rarely smiled. As an orphan, he had to take care of me—never had enough to eat or wear, always giving me the best things. After joining the Long family, we had a good life for less than two years before facing constant disdain from others. He wasn’t happy even for a single day. Later, when he got involved in the underworld, he had to take care of his brothers’ every need—though life was easier, it was still a struggle for survival. It wasn’t really a life at all, more like fighting just to stay alive. Until he met Ye Feng… I think Ye Feng is like his lucky star. Things turned around, he gradually became happier and more cheerful, his strength grew, and he became more kind-hearted…” “Ye Feng is a good person!” Kelly suddenly spoke up at that moment. The two girls looked at her in surprise. Long Yue smoothly took over the conversation, “That’s right. Ye Feng is a good person, full of potential, strong, smart, and of course, extremely handsome. Any girl who marries him would surely wake up smiling in her dreams!” “If he could also cook well, that would be perfect!” Zhuge Ling’er said, resting her chin thoughtfully. “He can cook, and his food is delicious,” Kelly added. “During our time in the U.S., when he had free time, he would go shopping for ingredients and cook Chinese food for us…” “He really knows how to cook?” Hearing this, not only Zhuge Ling’er but also Long Yue leaned in curiously. “What kinds of dishes does he make?” “Everything—different dishes each time: pork, beef, chicken, fish, and various vegetables…” Kelly seemed to be recalling those months together. “It’s hard to describe his cooking skills; they’re at a master level. He could work as a professional chef in a five-star restaurant…” “Wow, I really want to try it…” Zhuge Ling’er was practically drooling. “How about this? This time, we ask Ye Feng, the owner of this house, to cook for us as guests. What do you think?” Long Yue looked at Zhuge Ling’er and Kelly. Zhuge Ling’er raised her hands in agreement, and although Kelly didn’t quite understand why the two were so excited, she nodded in agreement as well.
“I want steamed fish! How about you?” Long Yue unceremoniously took on the role of ordering, regardless of whether Ye Feng truly had the skills of a chef.
“I want Fish-Scented Shredded Pork, Spicy Chicken, and… Sour and Spicy Shredded Potatoes… Well, this one requires good knife skills…” Zhuge Ling’er deliberately teased.
“What would Kelly like to eat?” Long Yue turned to Kelly, thinking she would probably choose a dish that Ye Feng had made before and that tasted good.
“Fried Rice with Eggs…” As soon as Kelly finished speaking, Long Yue and Zhuge Ling’er looked at her in surprise. She asked cautiously, “Did I say something wrong?”
“No, no…” Long Yue and Zhuge Ling’er shook their heads repeatedly, afraid of undermining Kelly’s confidence. It had taken effort to get her to speak, and telling her now that fried rice with eggs wasn’t actually a dish might make her afraid to speak again.
Long Yue, who was quite adept at dealing with people, naturally wouldn’t make such a mistake. Similarly, Zhuge Ling’er, who had studied criminal psychology and had some knowledge of psychology, also knew that undermining Kelly at this moment could lead to serious consequences.
“Fried rice with eggs is indeed delicious!” Long Yue nodded.
“And it’s simple. I can make it too! If you want to learn, I can teach you!” Zhuge Ling’er added immediately.
The three women chatted and laughed as they left the airport, charming countless men along the way…
