Chen Feng’s words left Zhao Xiaolan unable to refute, and she asked skeptically, "You’re really not lying to ?"
"Of course I’m not lying to you," Chen Feng said with certainty, "Mom, this matter is absolutely true. Otherwise, I wouldn’t think of delaying the engagent; after all, I really like ngting."
"Aren’t you afraid that after getting engaged, you’d lose your freedom and can’t ss around with other won?" Zhao Xiaolan questioned again.
"Of course not." Chen Feng imdiately denied, "ngting is quite good. If she’s truly willing to marry , I’d be over the moon. But that fortune teller’s prediction was so accurate, I can’t help but believe it. If I really get engaged to her and my bad luck starts, maybe we won’t last long. To be safe, it’s better to delay a bit, preferably until I’m past 32. Nowadays, there are so many people getting married in their thirties, even if I get married at 33, it’s not too late."
"Then why did you get married so early last ti?"
Leave it to his own mother to rub salt into her son’s wounds.
Chen Feng couldn’t get angry; instead, he had to smile and say, "Didn’t I learn from my mistakes? It’s exactly because of the painful lesson from last ti that I’m being so cautious this ti. Mom, you don’t want to repeat the sa mistake and not have a lasting relationship with ngting, right?"
"Spare your nonsense! I’ll tell you, don’t think just because you have so money you can act all high and mighty and go astray, ssing around outside. ngting is such a good girl and likes you; it’s your fortune for several lifetis. You should cherish her, be devoted to her, and cut off ties with other won."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you’re right. I’ve already deeply realized my mistake. This ti, I’ll sincerely apologize to her and assure her that after we get married, I’ll nd my ways, be devoted to her..."
"What do you an by that?" Zhao Xiaolan imdiately interrupted, questioning loudly, "Why can’t you nd your ways now?"
"Isn’t it because I’m not yet engaged or married to ngting? Besides, I also need enough ti to settle things with the other won, right?"
"You... you really want to drive mad. Do you think ngting will agree to this?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve already discussed it with her, including the situation with the two pregnant won on my side. She’s aware of everything."
Zhao Xiaolan was taken aback and quickly asked, "She confronted you?"
"I wouldn’t call it a confrontation; it’s more like we had an open and honest talk. I originally thought she’d give up on , but unexpectedly, she’s still willing to marry . I’m quite touched."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan let out a huge sigh of relief, but then her anger flared up as she sternly questioned, "Tell , what’s up with that woman nad Liu Ying? How did she end up pregnant too?"
This had been weighing on her mind for a long ti; she only held back due to a promise made to Wu ngting, which is why she hadn’t imdiately contacted her son.
Now hearing that her son had already discussed this with Wu ngting, she felt no more reservations.
Chen Feng, of course, didn’t hide anything from his mother and explained briefly, "She’s a college classmate. She was divorced before, and after a long ti apart, we got close again. Then unexpectedly, she got pregnant."
"Tell , what is all this? You’re not even married yet, and you already have two kids, and neither is Tingting’s. How do you think she won’t be angry?"
Chen Feng quickly replied, "ngting is not angry anymore. Like I said earlier, I’ve sincerely apologized, and she has forgiven ."
"She forgave you so easily?"
Zhao Xiaolan found it hard to believe. Though she knew Wu ngting liked her son a lot and was very tolerant of him, having two different won pregnant because of him was a big issue.
As a woman herself, Zhao Xiaolan knew she couldn’t forgive her partner if he did sothing like that. It was a matter of principle.
Therefore, when Wu ngting cried to her earlier, she apologized and asked for forgiveness on behalf of her son without much confidence.
She was really worried that Wu ngting would eventually break up with her son.
Now hearing her son say that Wu ngting has already forgiven him, she was understandably skeptical.
Chen Feng said, "She has forgiven , but I wouldn’t say it was easy. I did pay a certain price."
"What price?"
"The price of marriage."
"What kind of price is that? Her being willing to marry you is a blessing you’ve accumulated over eight lifetis."
"That’s true, but I wasn’t necessarily determined to marry only her initially."
"What? You think she’s not good enough for you?"
"Not that, but I initially didn’t plan on getting engaged or married at all, wanted to have so fun for a couple more years."
"You little brat, you’re already thirty and still want to have more fun. Are you planning to wait until you’re forty to get married? Are you trying to beco a lifelong bachelor or what?"
"Mom, when I was poor, I wasn’t ever single, let alone now that I’ve got so money. How could I possibly end up without a partner?"
"In my opinion, being unmarried and without a wife and kids ans being single."
Okay! Chen Feng wisely decided not to argue with his mom but bring the conversation back on track: "In short, ngting has forgiven . So, you don’t have to worry anymore, but to avoid any bad luck, I hope to delay the wedding for another two years."
"Will Tingting agree to the delay?" Zhao Xiaolan asked hesitantly.
