But if Fei was the one who made the first move, that was much less likely.
Still, Lin Ping was also curious. Just how handsome did a man have to be to make Fei take the initiative?
’I thought she had high standards.’
Especially after her parents’ divorce, her standards for men had gotten even higher.
Puzzled, Lin Ping pressed on.
"What kind of person is he? Is he nice?"
"He’s amazing!"
The moment Lin Shen was mentioned, Zheng Yanfei lit up like a child showing off her favorite toy, her eyes filled with adoration and love.
"He’s a very gentle person! And he treats me so well! Remember that bracelet I showed you that he gave me? He’s actually given me a lot of other things, like this handbag, for instance."
Zheng Yanfei showed her handbag to Lin Ping. Even though Lin Ping didn’t know much about luxury goods, the iconic Chanel double-C logo was instantly recognizable to most women.
Even a mom like her knew a thing or two about it.
"A Chanel bag?"
"Yep!"
Zheng Yanfei said proudly.
"He got it for me from the boutique. It costs over fifty thousand online!"
’That expensive?’
Lin Ping’s eyes widened slightly in astonishment.
’Fei’s boyfriend treats her really well!’
’To be so lavish with his gifts?’
’That means he’s not after her money, at least. But as for just wanting her for sex... that’s another story...’
Just as Lin Ping, still worried, was about to ask for more details, Zheng Yanfei’s next words left her completely stunned.
"And my boyfriend also bought me a Porsche sports car. With all the options, it came out to over a million."
Huh?
’A Porsche sports car worth over a million?’
Lin Ping was floored. It took her a moment to process what she’d heard. A tidal wave of shock crashed through her previously calm thoughts.
’Just how rich is this boyfriend of Fei’s? Giving away a sports car like it’s nothing?!’
’If everything she’s saying is true... it’s just unimaginable!’
A moment ago, Lin Ping had been worried that Zheng Yanfei was being scammed for her money and body. Now, her concern had completely flipped.
’Could it be that Fei’s the one wrapping *him* around her little finger?’
’That won’t do!’
Lin Ping stared into Zheng Yanfei’s eyes and said earnestly.
"Fei, is everything you said true?"
"Of course it’s true!"
Zheng Yanfei knew Lin Ping wouldn’t believe her. She was about to pull out her phone to show the pictures from when she and Lin Shen ordered the car at the Porsche dealership, but Lin Ping stopped her.
"I believe you, but you’re not deceiving him, are you?"
"Deceiving him about what?"
"Like, stringing him along emotionally..."
Lin Ping struggled to find the right words, but Zheng Yanfei was sharp and immediately understood what her aunt meant. She quickly explained.
"Of course not! We’ve already... Ugh! Anyway, the reason he’s so good to me is just that he’s incredibly rich. This kind of money is nothing to him."
"A sports car worth over a million is completely out of reach for us, but for someone in his social class, it’s probably a casual purchase, like us going to the grocery store."
"Is that so."
Lin Ping could imagine it. After all, she knew a man who fit Zheng Yanfei’s description perfectly.
And that man was Lin Shen!
Lin Shen was just like that—a big spender who didn’t seem to care about the cost, fully embodying what it meant to be wealthy.
’I can’t believe Fei managed to meet someone like that too.’
’I guess sometimes a girl has to take the initiative to find her own great love story!’
Lin Ping sighed to herself, deciding not to get too hung up on the matter of Zheng Yanfei and her boyfriend.
After all, judging by how ridiculously wealthy her boyfriend was, he probably treated her very well in other ways too.
Still, there was one thing Lin Ping wanted to confirm.
The two of them walked into Hesheng International. When the surrounding crowd thinned out a bit, Lin Ping quietly asked Zheng Yanfei a question.
