Chapter 9: Two Women Arguing... Hehe!
Mopping the floor, cleaning up, and organizing things...
Without noticing it, an entire hour had passed.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead and looking at the bright, clean shop, Cheng Fei suddenly felt like she had returned to several years ago.
Of course, if she really could go back to the past, it would be even better if she could also recover everything she had lost along the way.
The weather today was terrible.
The sky had already looked gloomy since morning, and now thin rain like strands of hair was falling outside.
It had been years since she worked at a milk tea shop after graduation. She would not forget the job itself, but she worried about becoming rusty. Once customers actually started coming nonstop, it could become exhausting!
Cheng Fei made a few drinks as practice and memories of the past. After finishing, she hugged a cup of “Forest Berry Fruit Tea,” resting her chin on her arm while leaning against the counter.
She took a sip of the sweet and sour drink, then chewed the soft coconut jelly inside.
It was already eleven o’clock.
The rain still had not stopped.
Forget customers, even people walking past outside hurried away quickly.
Today was technically the first day she opened the shop herself, yet she encountered such terrible weather.
That really felt unlucky.
Maybe she should “remove the bad luck.”
Suddenly, she remembered seeing people pray to gods whenever business was bad. She thought maybe she should try it too.
After all, supernatural things like soul transfer had already happened to her. Maybe gods and spirits really did exist in this world!
Her phone sat on the counter displaying a picture of Lord Guan that she found online.
Since she had no incense sticks, she could only use something else instead.
So she rolled three strips of toilet paper into long shapes, lit them on fire, then waved them until only smoke remained.
With the thin smoke rising into the air, it actually looked somewhat believable.
Holding the “incense” between both hands, Cheng Fei knelt down and bowed three times.
“Oh God, please don’t dislike this humble offering. If my business becomes successful in the future, I promise I’ll buy a golden statue for worship! Sandalwood incense and a fine porcelain incense burner too!”
Cheng Fei prayed so seriously that she completely failed to notice a car stopping outside the shop.
A beautiful woman with a hot figure, wearing cool and sexy clothes, quietly entered while holding an umbrella.
After looking around and not seeing anyone, she walked farther inside and smelled smoke in the air.
Her flat shoes made almost no sound.
Like a cat, the woman quietly sneaked near the restroom door. The moment she saw Cheng Fei’s actions, her eyes widened immediately.
“Oh my god!”
What was Cheng Fei doing?
Praying to a god, of course!
Hearing the sudden shout behind her, Cheng Fei thought her cheap setup had offended the god, who had personally come to punish her.
In that instant, she felt a current of electricity rush from her head down her spine.
Her heart jumped straight into her throat, and her whole body trembled.
Almost instinctively, she hugged her own legs tightly.
However, just as she was about to kneel down and apologize sincerely, she saw a gorgeous woman staring at her in confusion.
She had seen this woman before in Cheng Fei’s phone.
She was a model.
Along with another woman named Bai Xi, the three of them seemed to share a very close relationship.
What was this woman’s name again...?
Oh right, Zheng Qi!
Either prepare before something happens, or keep cheat notes nearby!
Cheng Fei believed in always being prepared, so over the past few days she had constantly checked through Cheng Fei’s information in order to understand everything.
Looking at Zheng Qi’s surname, it matched her explosive figure perfectly.
People always talked about “an angel’s face and a devil’s body,” but Cheng Fei usually laughed at those so-called beauties.
Compared to this woman, they were nothing but fake titles.
But the woman standing before her truly overturned all of Cheng Fei’s previous experience.
She perfectly matched that saying.
Seeing Cheng Fei becoming more and more dazed, Zheng Qi reached out and lightly patted her.
“Feifei, are you okay?”
Cheng Fei snapped back to reality and jumped to her feet.
“No! I mean, yes! I’m totally fine!”
Zheng Qi looked her up and down, then glanced at the toilet paper ashes on the floor and the picture of Lord Guan on the phone.
Cheng Fei quickly kicked the ashes away and put her phone away while laughing awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Zheng Qi stepped closer and touched Cheng Fei’s forehead.
Such a stunning beauty.
Such close contact.
The pleasant perfume drifting into her nose made Cheng Fei’s heart race.
The view before her eyes was the kind of scene her male self could previously only see in certain adult videos.
At last, dreams had entered reality!
Cheng Fei suddenly felt her nose getting itchy.
Not because she was so pathetic that she was about to get a nosebleed. It was simply because the perfume smell was too strong.
“You don’t have a fever either...”
“......”
Seeing that Cheng Fei did not seem especially strange, Zheng Qi’s expression changed as she quickly asked another question.
“Feifei, sweetheart, hurry and tell me, is it true?”
Cheng Fei looked completely confused.
“What?”
“You and Gao Ming from Shuohua... did you really register your marriage already?!”
Could something like this even be fake?
So Zheng Qi actually did not know about the fake marriage with Gao Ming.
Weren’t they supposed to be best friends?
Did Cheng Fei fail to tell her before the soul transfer happened, or was there some other hidden reason?
Cheng Fei did not know.
She also had not discovered any signs that their friendship was broken.
Still, judging from the current situation, the marriage was definitely happening anyway.
So she did not deny it.
Cheng Fei nodded, and the woman’s face instantly bloomed like a fully opened flower.
“Oh my god!”
Zheng Qi became so excited she could barely control herself. She opened her arms and hugged Cheng Fei tightly.
Whoa! Dear lord!
That wonderful feeling was almost enough to make Cheng Fei float into the air.
The warm softness pressing against her body felt unbelievably amazing!
“Two days ago, when you mentioned this, I got so excited I even ignored my photo shoot and rushed back from Yalong Bay immediately! Feifei, marrying into a rich family and becoming a rich young wife means you won’t have to worry about the rest of your life anymore. You’re so lucky!”
“Mhm!”
Cheng Fei narrowed her eyes slightly with a suspiciously pleased expression.
Yes, very lucky!
At this exact moment, she felt extremely lucky.
If this hug continued a little longer, she might die from happiness!
While the two happily reunited inside the shop, another car quietly stopped outside.
Golden-rimmed glasses.
Hair tied neatly behind her head.
Suit, dress pants, pointed shoes.
A perfect workplace elite outfit, yet it still could not hide the cold and elegant aura surrounding her like a snow lotus on a mountain peak.
Cold, beautiful, and attractive.
The woman overheard every word of Cheng Fei and Zheng Qi’s conversation.
After putting away her umbrella and adjusting her glasses, she walked inside quickly. The sound of her high heels hitting the floor seemed to strike directly against people’s hearts.
“Feifei!”
Compared to Zheng Qi’s cheerful excitement, Bai Xi’s eyebrows were twisted tightly together. Her expression looked completely troubled and worried.
Cheng Fei slowly let go of Zheng Qi.
Based on previous chat records, this cold and elegant teacher seemed to dislike rich men very much. Seeing her expression now only confirmed Cheng Fei’s guess.
Honestly, Cheng Fei herself did not want to marry him either!
But…
At this point, it was already an unchangeable fact.
“You two... is this really true?”
Bai Xi asked softly, staring only at Cheng Fei while completely ignoring Zheng Qi beside them.
Well then.
So Cheng Fei even hid this from Bai Xi too.
The three women were practically as close as sisters, yet even this was hidden?
Just what exactly was Cheng Fei planning?
Still, if she chose to hide it, there must have been her reasons.
Since they were her close friends, Cheng Fei figured she should just continue the act.
“Uh... yeah.”
“Did you already get the marriage certificate?”
Cheng Fei nodded again.
Bai Xi looked completely hopeless.
Taking a deep breath, she slapped her own forehead and stepped backward before collapsing into a chair.
“Xiao Fei, you really messed this up!”
Honestly, Cheng Fei also felt this whole thing was a complete mess, especially as the “new owner” of this body.
And really, what kind of devastating emotional disaster could push someone into despair so deep that they would casually marry a stranger?
Even as a man, Cheng Fei felt it was a waste for such a great girl.
Meanwhile, Zheng Qi had been watching quietly the entire time.
To her, Bai Xi’s “heartbroken concern” looked a little fake and overdramatic.
Good relationship or not, some things still needed to be said.
“I completely disagree with that! How is Feifei finding a good future considered a mistake?”
Hearing this, Bai Xi slowly raised her head.
Whether it was from the reflection on her glasses or from her eyes themselves, a sharp cold light flashed briefly.
Oh ho!
Were these two about to start arguing?
Unexpectedly, this hit one of Cheng Fei’s favorite interests directly.
Two women arguing face-to-face in real life?
Amazing!
“A good future?” Bai Xi replied coldly. “Zheng Qi, is money the only thing in your eyes? Is a rich man automatically considered a good future? Feifei has only known him for three days! Do they even understand each other? What if they can’t live together peacefully? Then divorce becomes their only ending!”
Zheng Qi immediately got choked up and became speechless for a moment.
Still, her stubborn personality quickly rose again.
Even though she knew she probably could not beat this eloquent teacher in an argument, she still refused to back down.
“So what if they don’t know each other well yet? A man who wants to deceive you can act better than an award-winning actor before marriage. Only living together afterward shows the real person. Besides—”
“You’re going to bring up ancient times again?” Bai Xi interrupted immediately.
“For five thousand years, how many loving married couples existed? How many of them dated before marriage first? Weren’t plenty of them still happy together?”
Bai Xi laughed helplessly.
“Then count how many married couples existed throughout history altogether. What’s the actual success rate?”
“If there’s a chance, that means it’s possible!” Zheng Qi shot back immediately.
“There’s also a chance of choking to death while eating. Does that mean people should stop eating forever?”
“That’s nonsense! You’re twisting logic on purpose!”
Bai Xi cared too much about Cheng Fei, which only made her emotions more unstable. Her thoughts became chaotic, and for a moment she could not think of a proper response.
Meanwhile, Zheng Qi became excited.
The two had argued countless times since they first met, but Zheng Qi usually only won when Bai Xi was drunk.
Yet now, while completely sober, she had actually managed to corner this sharp-tongued teacher.
“If people follow different paths in life, how can they stay married forever?”
“What ‘path’ are you talking about?” Zheng Qi immediately asked back.
“The great path of human history perspective is the true path! Back then, people didn’t care about all these complicated marriage ideas. As long as you could provide a proper bride price, people found a place and had children!”
“That was for reproduction!” Bai Xi argued firmly. “Marriage is sacred. Women are not products. Marriage is not a transaction where whoever pays more gets the woman!”
