You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

As night deepened, the Porsche stopped in front of the twilight-drenched bar.

The bar was about to close, so Lu Ci got out of the car but didn't go in. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Feng.

Xiao Wei said goodbye to Lu Ci and drove home.

A short while later, Chen Feng strode out from the staff entrance on the side of the bar.

"Hey bro! I just caught a live stream of the Jiangbei Music Festival while I was at the store."

Chen Feng stepped forward and patted Lu Ci on the shoulder: "See, I told you a long time ago that you have the potential to become a superstar."

Lu Ci smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing special, just basic stuff."

"Come on, let me show you your new ride." Chen Feng put his arm around Lu Ci's shoulder and led him towards the parking lot behind the bar.

"I took a knowledgeable friend to check the car this afternoon. There's no record of major repairs or water damage; the car is in excellent condition."

I'll just cover the cost with my own money. There's no rush for the transfer of ownership. Aren't you going on a road trip? We can go through the transfer process when you come back.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the innermost parking space in the parking lot.

A Tank 300 was parked in the parking space.

Chen Feng pulled his car keys out of his pocket and tossed them to Lu Ci: "Take a look for yourself, are you satisfied?"

Lu Ci reached out and took the key, then walked around the car once.

He then opened the car door, climbed into the driver's seat, looked around at the interior, and nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Ci took out his phone, opened the banking app, did some operations, and then turned to Chen Feng, who was standing outside the car, and said:

"I have 300,000 yuan on hand right now, I'm transferring it to you. Use this money to pay for the car you advanced, and put the rest into the resort."

This 300,000 yuan is his fee for live streaming from bars during this period, plus his appearance fee at tonight's music festival.

Chen Feng nodded: "Okay. Although the resort is a joint venture between the three of us, we can't expect Lin Wan to keep pouring money into it."

The remaining losses will definitely need to be covered by the two of us. Therefore, we'll put aside the shareholding ratio we verbally agreed on earlier. Once the resort is fully operational and profitable, we'll then divide the shares according to the final actual investment ratio. Even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

"Okay, we'll do as you say." Lu Ci had no objection.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel and then said, "My personal suggestion is that we first take care of the surrounding infrastructure and landscaping."

As for the furniture and furnishings in the guest rooms, we don't need to spend all our money on them at once. Once we've furnished half of the rooms, we can start a trial operation and gradually fill in the remaining rooms while making money."

Chen Feng nodded: "That's what I think too."

The two leaned against the car and smoked a cigarette before Chen Feng went back to the bar.

Lu Ci had spent half the day at the music festival, only managing to eat a slice of watermelon from the doorman, and his stomach was now completely empty.

He started the car, intending to find a place nearby to grab a bite before going home.

As soon as the car turned onto the main road outside the bar, Lu Ci caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Under the streetlights by the roadside, Qin Meng, who had just finished get off work, stood alone by the roadside, carrying her violin case, waiting for a ride-hailing car.

She wore a simple black fitted long dress today, and her tall and aloof figure appeared somewhat slender in the night.

Lu Ci stopped his car in front of her.

The passenger window slowly rolled down, and Lu Ci, with one hand on the steering wheel, turned his head and asked, "Hungry?"

Suddenly, an SUV blocked her view. Qin Meng frowned and was about to walk away.

But when she heard that familiar voice, she stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Lu Ci in the car with some surprise.

During the time the two were performing at the bar, they would often go to nearby food stalls or roadside restaurants for a late-night snack after get off work.

The two of them didn't talk much, just sat quietly at the small table, each eating their own food. This seemed to have become an unspoken habit between them.

But these past two days, Lu Ci has been busy preparing for the Jiangbei Music Festival and hasn't come to the bar much.

After getting off work, Qin Meng didn't linger outside and went straight home.

Qin Meng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.

"What do you want to eat?" she asked softly.

Lu Ci's lips curled into a mischievous smile: "Let's go to that food stall we went to last time and have some crayfish."

After a two-second pause, Lu Ci added, quite matter-of-factly, "You're treating."

Upon hearing Lu Ci's words, Qin Meng's usually cold face flushed red.

The memory of the kiss I shared with him by the river when I treated him to dinner last time subconsciously surfaced in my mind.

This man is definitely doing this on purpose!

Qin Meng glared at Lu Ci with embarrassment and annoyance, then turned around without saying a word and walked forward along the sidewalk.

Lu Ci wasn't in a hurry. He lightly pressed the accelerator and slowly followed beside Qin Meng.

"What? Aren't you going?" Lu Ci asked, turning his head to the side.

Qin Meng pursed her lips, not even glancing at him, and continued walking forward.

Lu Ci was too lazy to ask any more questions. He just kept driving at a distance, keeping pace with her, with one hand on the steering wheel.

After walking less than two hundred meters, Qin Meng reached the street corner. She had been walking straight, but instead turned and headed straight for the familiar open-air food stall.

Seeing this, Lu Ci, who was sitting in the car, smiled slightly and parked the car in a parking space on the side of the street.

On the red plastic stools at the food stall.

A large bowl of spicy crayfish was served.

The two of them, wearing disposable gloves, quietly peeled shrimp.

Qin Meng would occasionally raise her cool eyes and steal a glance at Lu Ci sitting opposite her.

After hesitating for a while, she finally broke the silence: "How did your performance tonight go?"

When Lu Ci was performing tonight, she happened to be singing on stage at a bar and didn't have time to check her phone. She only heard from the waiter that he was trending on social media.

"The process was quite convoluted." Lu Ci smiled at her with an air of arrogance, "But the result is good. I guess... I won't be able to sing at bars anymore."

Qin Meng paused in peeling the shrimp.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid the fans will pack Chen Feng's bar to the brim."

Qin Meng was stunned.

She lowered her head and silently put the peeled shrimp meat into the bowl, but she lost her appetite.

They used to sing on the same stage, and she only thought the man was very talented.

But it wasn't until tonight that Qin Meng suddenly realized that the distance between the two of them always seemed to be very far.

After a long silence, Qin Meng gently bit her lower lip, her voice soft yet carrying a strange, stubborn sense of detachment:

"I got paid. I'll transfer the money I owe you after we finish eating."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci stopped what he was doing.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Qin Meng's conflicted expression, as if she wanted to draw a line between them.

Lu Ci laughed: "What? So eager to settle things with me..."

Are you afraid that I will make some unreasonable demands on you again?
