Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

After dinner, Chu Yu, Zhao Haiting, Feng Hesong, and Pang Jing sat together, drinking and chatting about investment and cooperation.

Meng Yiyao, being very perceptive, pulled Mingxi out and said she would take him for a good ride on the yacht.

There's also a gym on the yacht, so you can exercise after dinner and enjoy the night view of the sea.

After strolling around, the two arrived at the gym. Mingxi sat on the exercise bike, watching Meng Yiyao sweating it out on the treadmill, and clicked her tongue in amazement: "Even when you're out having fun, you have to exercise. Is this how a popular young actress maintains her figure? Impressive!"

Anyone would be happy to be praised, and Meng Yiyao was no exception. She smiled and said, "I have no choice but to do this job. Everyone in the industry is competing, and I can't fall behind."

Feeling she had reached her target exercise level for the day, Meng Yiyao stopped the treadmill, wiped her sweat, and went to the refrigerator in her room. "What would you like to drink?"

Mingxi originally wanted to drink juice, but then he thought about how he also needed to work out his figure, so he changed his mind and said, "Sparkling water, please."

Meng Yiyao handed the sparkling water to Mingxi, then sat down next to him and opened a bottle of mineral water for herself.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

Looking at the gym they were in, and thinking about her happy day, Mingxi suddenly sighed, "Having a yacht is really great!"

Meng Yiyao raised an eyebrow, her smile deepening as she looked at Mingxi. "If you like it, ask Young Master Chu to buy it for you. It's not like he can't afford it. Besides, he seems completely captivated by you. He shouldn't refuse such a small request, right?"

"Of course Brother Chu wouldn't refuse me; he'll buy me whatever I want."

Mingxi proudly exclaimed, then suddenly changed the subject, "But even though Brother Chu is capable, his money doesn't come easily. I have to be careful with it, otherwise my future mother-in-law will think I'm a spendthrift."

He has to pretend before getting married, but once he marries Brother Chu, he can completely let loose.

Future mother-in-law?! The word almost made Meng Yiyao lose her composure. "Mingxi, have you met Young Master Chu's mother?"

"No, but it's only a matter of time. We're still young, but we'll get married eventually, and we'll have to meet my future mother-in-law sooner or later."

"Heh." Meng Yiyao tried hard to suppress the contempt in her eyes, and a cryptic smile appeared on her lips. "You're right. Your relationship with Young Master Chu is so good, marriage is a natural thing. You must invite me to the wedding."

Mingxi seemed oblivious to everything, and affectionately patted Meng Yiyao's hand, "Don't worry, Yiyao, even if you and Sixth Brother break up, I'll still invite you. You'll be considered one of my friends."

"...Thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for? This back and forth is too formal." Mingxi flashed a bright smile, revealing her white teeth.

Mingxi is definitely doing this on purpose! Meng Yiyao really didn't want to continue this topic. "By the way, Mingxi, how did you and Young Master Chu meet?"

"We met at a brand event, Sister Yi Yao. Do you believe in love at first sight? I do. That's what happened between Brother Chu and me."

At this point, Mingxi smiled sweetly, "There were so many people at the event, but that's where our destiny lay. No matter how many people there were, Chu Ge and I could spot each other in the crowd at a glance, fall in love at first sight, and become inseparable."

Mingxi was having a good time, but the more Meng Yiyao listened, the more she felt he was making things up.

The truth is probably that Mingxi, a minor celebrity, tried every means to seduce Chu Yu, who came from a wealthy family, and actually succeeded in hooking him.

However, he still had the expression of someone listening attentively to his "love story" and occasionally chimed in, which greatly satisfied Mingxi's vanity.

If Mingxi knew what Meng Yiyao was thinking, he would definitely vehemently deny it, saying he wasn't lying! He had only made a small artistic embellishment to their love story.

Just as Meng Yiyao was thinking about how to interrupt Mingxi's "show of affection," the gym door suddenly opened.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Meng Yiyao completely lost control of her expression, her face darkening like a black wind.

"Mingxi, didn't you say before that the moon was round enough tonight and you wanted to take some night photos of the sea? Let's go take some."

"Um... okay." Although he didn't know what grudge Meng Yiyao had with this beautiful woman who suddenly walked in, he figured it was better not to ask too many questions since she could suddenly change her expression. He should just listen to her.

Meng Yiyao tried to dodge, but Fang Chun wasn't about to let her go. "Oh my! Isn't this our big star, Sister Yiyao?! What? Now that you're famous, you've forgotten your good sister?!"

Mingxi's eyes lit up. Her best friend?! There's juicy gossip!

Meng Yiyao's expression darkened further. "Miss Fang, please watch your words. We're just acquaintances at best, not best friends." With that, she pulled Mingxi away.

But Fang Chun blocked her way with a sidestep. "Don't go! People's hearts have changed so much. We were best friends back when we were models, squeezing into our rented rooms. Now that you've risen to fame, a rising star—you're pretending not to know me! Do your fans even know about your past?!"

"Shut up! Let me tell you, if you dare to spread rumors and damage my reputation, I will definitely sue you and send you to jail. I mean what I say." Meng Yiyao pointed her finger at Fang Chun's nose, her expression sinister as she uttered these harsh words.

"Tch!" Fang Chun looked Meng Yiyao up and down with disdain. "I'm not easily intimidated. Don't threaten me. I have no intention of ruining your good life."

"After all, you're heartless, but I'm still loyal. Besides, now that you're with Young Master Song and I'm with Young Master Jing, we're practically sisters-in-law." She finished speaking and laughed coquettishly and seductively.

"Nonsense!" This time, Meng Yiyao pushed her away and pulled Mingxi's hand out.

Behind her, Fang Chun's flamboyant and arrogant laughter rang out, making Mingxi extremely curious about the entanglement between them.

But seeing Meng Yiyao's ashen face, he suppressed his rising curiosity. "Sister Yiyao, so this is what it's like to see the moon at sea. Look!"

Meng Yiyao forced a smile. "Yes, she is indeed very beautiful."

……

Feng Hesong's Beizhou Group has business operations in multiple areas, including grain production, processing and sales, fisheries, animal husbandry, farm management and agricultural input supply chain operations.

He owns several large-scale planting and breeding bases in China, and he also holds an important position in the family business.

Chu Yu considered that although Burger King has its own planting and breeding bases, it can better control the quality and supply stability of ingredients.

However, the establishment and operation of the base requires a large investment of funds, as well as professional agricultural and aquaculture knowledge.

Given the current development status of Burger King and Qianwei, it would be more appropriate for them to choose to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with large agricultural enterprises.

As cooperation deepens, joint planting and breeding collaborations can also be undertaken with the base.

Getting to know Feng Hesong was also for future cooperation; Burger King needs a higher-quality, more professional supplier.

After discussing work, the four men inevitably chatted about other things. Don't think that only women gossip; in fact, men often gossip even more.

"To be honest, you really don't have any feelings for my cousin at all?" Feng Hesong looked at Chu Yu with great interest.

Chu Yu said helplessly, "Miss Feng and I are just friends."

After the last cocktail party, he and Feng Yunshi had dinner together a few times. They got along quite well, but their relationship was limited to that of friends and potential business partners.

It's possible that Feng Yunshi mentioned Chu Yu to Feng Hesong in private. During their casual conversation earlier, Feng Hesong suddenly remembered this matter and kept teasing Chu Yu, saying things like the two of them were well-matched and were a perfect match.

Zhao Haiting and Pang Jing, on the other hand, watched the excitement from the sidelines and joined in the commotion.

"Yes, cousin, I've met Miss Feng before. She's beautiful and has a great figure, and she's also very capable at work. You two are in the same industry, so working together would be a perfect match!"

"When choosing a wife, it's all about virtue. Yunshi is not only virtuous, but also beautiful and talented. Marrying her would be a great choice!"

"Of course! What else do you want?!"

Chu Yu was speechless for the third time. "I already have someone by my side. Don't joke about Miss Feng. It's disrespectful to her."

"What disrespect? When there are good men, I think of my sister. That's what a brother should do. As for the one next to you, let him stay. My Feng family's daughters aren't so intolerant of a little one."

These words are very much in line with the Feng family's tradition. It's clear that Feng Hesong doesn't take Mingxi seriously at all; she's just a minor celebrity he keeps around.

Chu Yu cherishes him now, spoils him, and has him in his heart, but in a year or two, once the passion fades, he'll be forgotten. That's just how men are.

"Sixth Brother, Miss Feng and I are really just friends, and there will be no relationship beyond friendship between us."

"But…."

Before Feng Hesong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door and a voice saying, "Brother Chu! The moon looks so beautiful at sea!"

When Mingxi entered, she was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Did I interrupt your serious conversation?"

"No, just chatting."

Behind Mingxi was Meng Yiyao, who was holding his hand but couldn't stop him from pushing the door open and entering, causing her expression to look a little strange.

"Hahaha! Yeah, Xiao Mingxi, you can't live without my cousin? You come looking for him if you don't see him for a while." Zhao Haiting teased.

"Hehe, that's right, I can't live without Brother Chu, and Brother Chu can't live without me either." Mingxi glanced at Feng Hesong as she spoke.

She then turned to Chu Yu, "Now that we've finished talking, how about you come with me to see the sea view? It's absolutely gorgeous."

"Okay." Chu Yu smiled and stood up, saying to the three of them, "Brothers, I'll be leaving now. You guys continue sitting."

"Uh-huh."

"Alright! Go enjoy it!" Pang Jing said with a slightly lewd laugh.

"Then I'll leave too, the beauty is waiting for me."

"Let's not sit here anymore, my two little darlings are waiting for me."

"Damn! You're really not afraid of kidney deficiency!" Feng Hesong laughed and cursed, and also prepared to get up and go back to his room.

He didn't take Mingxi's deliberate provocation to heart at all; a human wouldn't get angry at a kitten that meows at you.
