"No way, Yang Xuan is only riding an electric scooter? And Natasha is actually riding with him," Xu Qing said, watching Yang Xuan's electric scooter drive away.

"Natasha isn't young anymore, it's about time she found a boyfriend," Zhang Mengmeng said.

"It's strange, so many rich and handsome guys pursued Natasha but she didn't agree, why does she like someone like Yang Xuan? He's about my height, shorter than Natasha, and younger than Natasha. I really don't know what Natasha likes about Yang Xuan," Xu Qing said.

"At least they have a potential boyfriend. We have nothing. My mom even told me last time to hang out less with you and Natasha, afraid we'd be gay," Zhang Mengmeng joked.

"You little rascal, come here for a kiss," Xu Qing teased.

"Stop messing around, let's drive. It's crowded at noon, we need to grab parking spots," Zhang Mengmeng said while dodging Xu Qing's seductive lips.

Meanwhile.

Fortunately, Yang Xuan was riding the Little Donkey, so parking was incredibly easy. Moreover, Natasha had a unique Eastern European look, tall stature, and a curvaceous figure, making her a true goddess for otaku. Walking beside Yang Xuan, envious glances swept over him. It's normal for men to have a little vanity, who wouldn't want their girlfriend to be pretty?

The two sat down and started ordering. Grilled pork, grilled beef, pan-fried chicken breast, and so on. They ordered at least five portions of each, filling up a huge table. Instantly, everyone in the entire restaurant turned their attention to Yang Xuan and Natasha.

"Here, here," Natasha waved towards Xu Qing and Zhang Mengmeng standing at the entrance.

Xu Qing slapped her forehead, "Oh my god, what are they doing?"

"Hurry up and go over. Looking at Natasha and Yang Xuan eating meat makes me really hungry," Zhang Mengmeng said in a cute voice.

After the two sat down, Xu Qing couldn't help but lecture, "Natasha, I've told you many times that eating too much will make you fat, and it's not good for your health."

"It doesn't matter, Natasha has a metabolism that doesn't gain weight no matter how much she eats. I'm so envious," Zhang Mengmeng said, taking a bite of meat.

Xu Qing couldn't help but start too.

"I suddenly realized, you two really suit each other, you both eat so much," Xu Qing said after staring at them for a while, then shook her head.

Yang Xuan glanced at Natasha, but she was fully focused on eating beef. He could clearly feel she was a bit reserved.

Zhang Mengmeng looked at the two strangely and said, "Why are you two acting so weird after Xu Qing spoke? You're eating more delicately, and I hear less chewing."

"It's said that when people have feelings for each other or are in front of someone they care about, they become a little worried about losing them," Zhang Mengmeng added with a sharp observation.

"Yang Xuan, what kind of work do you do?" Xu Qing asked.

"Me? I'm a Taobao store customer service representative, selling fur," Yang Xuan said unclearly.

"Taobao store customer service, I heard the salary is quite good, over ten thousand is no problem," Xu Qing said.

"Not all of them are like that. The salary gap is quite large. Now is the off-season, not much work. Normally, the salary is around 3000. But if I work hard in winter, I can probably reach over 12000. Plus, I sell women's clothing, so the store's business is quite good in winter."

"For your age, working like this, that's a good salary," Xu Qing said slowly.

Knowing Yang Xuan sold women's clothing, Zhang Mengmeng's interest was instantly piqued, "You sell women's clothing? You're a guy selling women's clothing, can you recommend sizes? Many women's sizes are tricky."

"It's okay. Usually, if they tell me their height, weight, and bust measurement, I can roughly figure out the size. But it's just an estimate, as everyone's body shape is different," Yang Xuan said with a professional tone.

Zhang Mengmeng said, "Come on, come on, see what size sister wears." Saying that, she swallowed a mouthful of meat, stood up, spun around, and even puffed out her chest.

Yang Xuan glanced at Zhang Mengmeng's figure and said, "Around 172 cm, weight around 125, bust around E."

Natasha and Xu Qing exchanged glances. Amazing, they were already very close to Zhang Mengmeng's actual figure. The three young women, from Russia to China, studied abroad together and started a business together, living and eating together. Zhang Mengmeng's ample bosom had long been "molested" countless times by the two female wolves, so how could they not know Zhang Mengmeng's measurements?

Yang Xuan managed to estimate it with just a glance. Natasha and Xu Qing immediately felt Yang Xuan was incredible.

"Oh, right, those two people from yesterday have confirmed. They're going, but they'll only come on the day of departure, as they're not from HN City," Xu Qing said.

"You can use my car. My car can fit six people, and it has a large trunk for luggage. The roof can also carry things," Yang Xuan said.

"We're done eating. Yang Xuan, shall we go to your place to see the car? That way we'll know how many supplies we need to buy," Natasha said.

"Has everyone finished eating? Let's go then," Yang Xuan said, wiping his mouth and paying with his phone.

The four of them arrived at Yang Xuan's residence.

"Wow, Yang Xuan, are you a tycoon? You live in such a big house?" Zhang Mengmeng exclaimed.

Natasha and Xu Qing were also shocked. Being able to afford a house in the Grand Noble Estate meant they were truly wealthy, as the annual property management fees alone were a significant expense.

"I made a little bit of money. Follow me, let's go to the garage first," Yang Xuan said proudly.

The two women stared at the nearly three-meter-tall behemoth of a car, speechless. Natasha, however, was delighted and circled the car again and again.

"Yang Xuan, I like this car. If we drive this car, we can buy a lot of supplies," Natasha said excitedly.

As expected of a "battle nation" woman, not many women would like such a car.

"Take a good look. Let's go inside my house and rest," Yang Xuan said.

And so, the entire afternoon was spent with everyone excitedly discussing the details of the trip and the list of supplies to purchase.

For example, portable water and wind generators, outdoor barbecue grills, first-aid kits, and so on.

"Yang Xuan, Natasha, we'll head back to prepare first. You two can discuss the rest," Xu Qing said calmly.

She clearly wanted to create some private space for the two of them.

As the excitement subsided, the ambiguous atmosphere between the two intensified.

"Natasha, we haven't known each other for a very long time, nor a very short time. What do you think of me?" Yang Xuan asked nervously.

Natasha thought for a moment, "You're a mysterious guy. What, do you want to pursue me?"

Yang Xuan sat down next to Natasha, looking at her, who was half a head taller than him, and said, "Can I pursue you?"

"Well, that depends on your performance," Natasha said with a smile. Natasha meant she wanted Yang Xuan to treat her better in the future, but Yang Xuan misunderstood instantly.
