Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor-Chapter 734: Eating
As a former medical school heartthrob, Li Chen was quite confident in his looks.
But the man before him wasn't only handsome, he also exuded a mature man's charisma, and at a glance, appeared to be the elite type.
No wonder, Fang Yan's mother, after remaining single for so many years, had fallen for him.
The man got out of the driver's seat and walked to the passenger side to open the door.
The first thing that caught the eye was a pair of beautiful legs in high heels, followed by a woman stepping out of the car.
The woman was tall, over five foot seven, in a black form-fitting long dress, with a curvy figure.
Her skin was fair, her features delicate, and she bore a resemblance to Fang Yan.
Her age was hard to pinpoint, she seemed to be just over thirty.
But considering Fang Yan's age, Li Chen guessed she must be close to forty now.
"Mom!"
Fang Yan quickly ran over and grabbed the woman's arm.
Then, she glanced at the man beside her and, with some effort, greeted, "Uncle Chen!"
Fang Yan's mother smiled with relief, caressed Fang Yan's head, and then turned her gaze to Li Chen.
"Auntie!"

Li Chen walked over, smiling as he greeted her.
Privately, he marveled at the beauty before him, mother and daughter alike, beauty ran in their family.
Moreover, this woman's aura was somewhat similar to Chen Wanqiu's, though lacking Chen Wanqiu's savvy and sharp demeanor, she had a more tender and gentle air about her.
After handing the car key to the valet, the group ascended the stairs.
In the private room, Li Chen learned that Fang Yan's mother's name was Meng Yuqing, and the man beside her was named Chen Zekai, the general manager of an investment company.
"Li Chen, you haven't known Yanyan for long, have you? Are you still studying?" Meng Yuqing asked Li Chen during the meal.
"Auntie, Yanyan and I have known each other for over a month now, I just graduated from college this year, and am now a doctor at the provincial hospital," Li Chen replied calmly, with a smile.
Meng Yuqing nodded with a smile.
She wasn't the type of housewife unaware of worldly matters; for a fresh graduate to get directly into a provincial hospital, he must be outstanding.
Moreover, her first impression of Li Chen was quite good. Although four years older than her daughter, he wasn't old-fashioned.
Especially the recent changes in her daughter, they truly pleased her.
"I can see that Yanyan really likes you. Now that the child has grown up, I have no objections to your relationship, but Yanyan is still in her senior year of high school, the busiest time for her studies, so she should prioritize her studies."
"Auntie, I understand this, I won't disrupt Yanyan's studies."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Fang Yan chimed in, "Mom, Brother Chen already told me to study hard and aim for a good university, so you don't need to worry!"
"Hmm! You have always been sensible, I'm just saying, as long as you know it in your heart, mom will rest easy."
Meng Yuqing smiled broadly.
It was evident that her mood had been very good lately.
When a woman is in love, her perspective on everything changes.
The meal was full of joy and laughter.
Meng Yuqing asked Li Chen some more questions and was very satisfied with his answers.
Gradually, she stopped asking, leaned on the man beside her, and started chatting.
Meanwhile, Fang Yan leaned on Li Chen.
It truly was a picture of a happy family.
Li Chen and Fang Yan exchanged a few whispers and then looked up to see Meng Yuqing being affectionate with Chen Zekai, feeling somewhat jealous for no apparent reason.
Fang Yan quickly stood up, pulling Meng Yuqing along for a chat, while Li Chen, not forgetting the reason he had come, started talking to Chen Zekai.
Li Chen didn't know much about investing.
But ever since he had set up the company and been with Xiao Ya, he had absorbed a lot and picked up many insights. While his knowledge wasn't deep, he could still make some comments.
Meanwhile, Fang Yan and her daughter chatted for a while. Seeing that the men started discussing boring subjects, they headed to the restroom together.
When they returned, the two men's conversation had shifted focus onto Li Chen.
When Chen Zekai heard that besides being a doctor, Li Chen also owned his own pharmaceutical company and was collaborating with big pharma like Pfizer Biopharmaceuticals, his eyes lit up, asking if he was interested in investing in a new project.
Meng Yuqing was also surprised.
At his age, just being a doctor in a provincial hospital was impressive enough, let alone having his own pharmaceutical company.
Li Chen didn't go into details; he only mentioned it was a type of ointment he had developed himself.
Moreover, the scar-removing ointment had already been promoted in the market, easily verifiable, and he was listed as the legal representative of the company, so there was no worry about anyone accusing him of lying.
After dinner, Meng Yuqing told Fang Yan she had some things to do and would be home late, then left with Chen Zekai.
With Li Chen there, she wasn't worried about her daughter.
On the way to Fang Yan's house, Li Chen asked Fang Yan, "Yanyan, your mom's boyfriend is pretty handsome. Why don't you like him?"
"Handsome? You're way handsomer, Brother!"
Fang Yan pouted, clearly having no interest in men whatsoever.
That previous "Uncle Chen" was just to manage the situation, she then hurriedly asked, "Brother, what did you talk about with him for so long? Was it…"
"We'll talk about it when we get home! By the way, I haven't asked yet, what does your mom do?"
"My mom runs supermarkets. My family had a small store when I was little, and it gradually grew. Now, my mom has opened several of them in the city."
Li Chen nodded as he listened.
In his heart, he couldn't help but admire Meng Yuqing even more.
Women are born weak, but resilient as mothers.
A woman with such business savvy must have had a challenging journey.
Whether it's intelligence or skill, she must have it all.
However, a woman in love can't always be judged by common sense; one should not be careless.
On his second visit to Fang Yan's place, Li Chen felt more familiar.
The moment he sat on the couch, Fang Yan eagerly came over, sat in Li Chen's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and playfully said, "Brother, come on, tell me? What do you think about that guy? I always feel like he's no good."
Li Chen looked at the indignant young girl and laughed, "I can't really say, but he claims to be the general manager of an investment company, though his talk is pretty superficial, worse than half-expert me."
"Don't worry, I'll look into it and ask around. If he really is a fraud, I definitely won't ignore it."
"Hee hee, you're the best, Brother!"
Fang Yan excitedly kissed Li Chen on the face and then remembered something, asking, "Brother, do you really own another company? So impressive! I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it today."
"Does Yanyan really care about that? Or are you planning to ditch me if I was broke?" Li Chen joked.
"Of course not, what I like is you, Brother. I don't care whether you own a company or not, I'm just a bit surprised." Fang Yan pouted unhappily.
Li Chen didn't doubt her words coming from a young girl.
However, seeing her pout made him swallow his saliva.
The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed her.
