My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 156 - 155 Noble Benefactor

"Brother Fei, you're still in touch with that Meng Xiaoyu, right?" Lu Hao asked with a grin.

Gao Fei glanced at Lu Hao, "Why do you ask?"

"Just curious!" Lu Hao laughed, "If it were me, I'd definitely cherish Meng Xiaoyu, take good care of her, tenderly look after... and hold her in my arms every day..."

"Enough, shut your mouth." Gao Fei glared at Lu Hao.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The phone placed on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Gao Fei picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"

"Mr. Gao, it's Meng Xiaoyu." A woman's voice came through the phone.

"Oh, it's you. What's up?" Gao Fei asked.

"I knew you would forget! That's why I'm calling to remind you." Meng Xiaoyu said, "Yesterday at the airport, we agreed that I'd treat you to a meal today..."

"Ah! That's what it is!" Gao Fei smacked his forehead, "I really did forget, sorry about that."

"Let's do it tonight; I'm treating you to a big meal, and you're not allowed to refuse."

"...Okay, tonight it is."

"A deal is a deal! No backing out now!"

"Hehe." Gao Fei laughed, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I definitely won't back out."

After setting a time and place to meet, Meng Xiaoyu hung up the phone.

"Was that Meng Xiaoyu who called?" Lu Hao leaned in, his expression sly as he asked.

"It was her." Gao Fei did not deny it.

"What did she want?"

"To treat me to a meal."

"A meal, huh..." Lu Hao chuckled, "Why does she want to treat you to a meal? Can I come along? I promise I won't disturb you two; I'll be like air..."

"Are you done? If you're done, then go away and stop bothering me." Gao Fei waved his hand impatiently.

"I'm not going! I'll follow you wherever you go!" Lu Hao declared loudly.

Gao Fei nodded, "Alright, I'm going to call your grandfather right now and have him send someone to pick you up."

"No, don't call! I'm leaving! I'll leave right now!" Lu Hao hastily stood up and made a quick exit, "Please don't call him!"

"This Lu Hao is really a treasure." After Lu Hao left, Gao Fei went into his bedroom, closed the door, and began cultivating. He laid out several items in front of him: broken ancient jade, a bronze wine cup covered in rust, and a dirty earthen jar—all of which were from the Qin Dynasty, containing rich spiritual energy inside.

When Gao Fei opened his eyes again, darkness had fallen.

"Just a little bit more to enter the Fourth Layer of the Inedia Stage... just a bit more..." Gao Fei sighed, "It's really frustrating!"

After the spiritual energy was absorbed, the ancient jade, bronze wine cup, and earthen jar lost their luster. The ancient jade even developed many cracks, essentially turning into junk.

"It's almost time for my appointment with Meng Xiaoyu." Gao Fei got up from his bed, changed his clothes, and then left the hotel. Before leaving, he informed Yang Wei that he was going to meet a friend and told him to go ahead and have dinner without waiting for him.

...

Half an hour later.

Gao Fei met with Meng Xiaoyu.

Today, Meng Xiaoyu was wearing a pink dress, her hair neatly done up, a pearl necklace around her neck, a handbag in her hands, and a pair of crystal high heels on her feet, making her look youthful and beautiful.

"How about it? Do I look pretty today?" Meng Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes, beautiful. You look very beautiful today, like a princess from a fairy tale."

"You look very handsome today too, like a prince from a fairy tale!" Meng Xiaoyu laughed.

Princess and prince? In fairy tales, they often turn out to be lovers, right?

"I'm just an ordinary person, nowhere close to a prince." Gao Fei shook his head.

"No, you're not ordinary; you're the prince of my heart!" Meng Xiaoyu looked at Gao Fei with deep affection in her eyes.

What does this mean? Is she confessing to me? This is so sudden, I'm totally unprepared!

"Beep beep beep..."

Just then, a sports car came from the opposite direction, performed a drift, and stopped at the side of the road. The door opened, and two young people, a man and a woman, stepped out, embracing each other as they walked towards the clubhouse opposite. The man's hand reached directly into the woman's clothing.

Gao Fei curled his lips: "The young people these days really don't care about public image."

"Yeah, they're really bold, hugging and embracing in public without a care for their impact," Meng Xiaoyu agreed, nodding her head.

The appearance of the young couple dissolved the awkwardness between Gao Fei and Meng Xiaoyu, especially for Gao Fei, who breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't know how to respond just now.

"Let's go, we should head in too," Meng Xiaoyu said, leading Gao Fei into the clubhouse.

"The decor is really luxurious," Gao Fei observed as he walked and surveyed the surroundings. "The consumption here must be very expensive, right?"

"It's okay," Meng Xiaoyu laughed. "Not too expensive."

A meal here would set you back at least tens of thousands of yuan, and if you participated in other activities, the expenses would be much higher. For the average person, it was definitely costly and unaffordable, but for a big star like Meng Xiaoyu, it was nothing.

"A friend introduced me to this place. After coming here a couple of times, I fell in love with it. Good service, lots of entertainment options, and most importantly... no need to worry about being secretly photographed by the paparazzi," Meng Xiaoyu said with a smile. "The security here is very strict. Without a membership card and a referral, it's impossible to get in."

"Xiaoyu!" A woman ran over from the front. "Why do you have time to come here today?"

"I'm off today, so I came to hang out," Meng Xiaoyu replied with a smile. "Ning Lan, weren't you shooting on location? How come you're back so soon?"

"Oh, don't even mention it," Ning Lan sighed. "The director replaced me as the lead actress, and I stormed back here in a huff."

"What? Replaced?" Meng Xiaoyu was quite surprised. "Why? Why did they replace your lead role? Did you offend the director, or did you get into some trouble?"

Ning Lan shook her head: "The director wanted to sexually harass me, but I refused, and then he took my lead role away."

"Bastard!" Meng Xiaoyu was furious. "That director is really scum, how dare he target you. It's like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh! Ning Lan, listen to me, even if you're not the lead actress, you should never sell your dignity."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ning Lan finally noticed Gao Fei and paused. She had been so caught up talking to Meng Xiaoyu that she ignored Gao Fei, only now registering his presence. In her memory, Meng Xiaoyu never associated with men, so what was happening today? Had she changed her ways?

"Oh, he's a friend of mine," Meng Xiaoyu introduced.

"Hi, I'm Ning Lan, a good sister of Meng Xiaoyu," Ning Lan said, extending her hand forthrightly.

Gao Fei reached out and shook Ning Lan's hand: "My name is Gao Fei."

"Mr. Gao, how do you know Meng Xiaoyu? Are you really just friends?" Ning Lan asked with a teasing smile. "You two seem very close..."

"You better pay more attention to yourself," Meng Xiaoyu said, giving Ning Lan a light pat. "You're almost thirty and still without a boyfriend, aren't you afraid of becoming an old maid who can't get married?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can get married," Ning Lan said confidently. "As for you, you better step up your game, make sure you don't end up behind me."

It was evident that Meng Xiaoyu and Ning Lan were close; their conversation flowed freely.

"Ning Lan, come over here, let me introduce you to some friends." Someone called out to Ning Lan.

"I'll be there in a sec, we'll chat later," Ning Lan hurried off. She had come here today to network with some directors in hopes of landing some roles.

"Ning Lan is my best friend," Meng Xiaoyu said softly. "We graduated from the same university and then both stayed in the capital to struggle. Some people wanted to sponsor Ning Lan, but she firmly refused. She advanced step by step through her own efforts and has achieved some success... It's just that..." Meng Xiaoyu paused. "Ning Lan is beautiful, and many people target her.

Threats and temptations, intimidation, it's all caused her a lot of trouble... Once, a director got her drunk and nearly took advantage of her. I arrived just in time and rescued her... After Ning Lan sobered up, she held on to me and cried for a long time... She really hasn't had it easy..."

"What about you? Do you also have such troubles?" Gao Fei asked.

"Me?" Meng Xiaoyu was taken aback: "I used to, not anymore... When I was new in the industry, indeed, many people targeted me, but later... a major figure protected me, and nobody dared to harass me after that." Looking up at Gao Fei, she said, "Do you know who this major figure is?"

"Who?" Gao Fei asked instinctively.

"It's you."

"Me?"

"Yes, you!" Meng Xiaoyu nodded vigorously. "Last time I had a concert in the capital, afterwards I was harassed by the young master of the Niu Family, and you stepped in to save me and even beat him up... From then on, no one dared to mess with me anymore."

"I see." Gao Fei nodded. "That's good, now you'll have less trouble in the future."

In reality, Gao Fei had not deliberately paid attention to Meng Xiaoyu; it had been Lu Hao pulling the strings in the background. Convinced that Meng Xiaoyu would become Gao Fei's woman, he went out of his way to protect her. With Lu Hao, the young master, as her protector, who would dare provoke Meng Xiaoyu? Unless they had a death wish!

With Lu Hao's backing, Meng Xiaoyu's career took off, going from a second-tier star to the most popular lead actress of the first tier.

It was because she had met Gao Fei that Meng Xiaoyu's life had changed, and she was truly grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

This is the effect of having a benefactor; with their help, your life becomes much smoother.
