"You can understand it as a sponsorship if you want, there’s nothing shaful about that. Nowadays, in society, those n and won in love essentially aren’t much different. A lot of n have to spend quite a bit of money on won. The better ones might even provide a car, and the worst just hold hands. n are the ones who lose out big ti."
"Cut it out. Does being in love necessarily an you have to sleep together? What they are mainly sharing is affection, not just the physical relationship between a man and a woman."
"If there’s no physical relationship, the emotional bond would never be strong. It’s important to invest emotions in a relationship, but you’ve also got to satisfy the physical needs; otherwise, it’s incomplete."
"That’s just your disgusting male thoughts and logic. We won don’t think that way."
"Alright, alright. Let’s talk about us." Chen Feng wisely dropped the topic, returning to the main issue, "I keep my word, starting this month I will give you a living expense of 30,000 each month."
"You’re not thinking of taking to Xiu Zhou, are you? Let make it clear, I don’t want to go to Xiu Zhou. I’m used to it here in my hotown; I don’t want to leave ho for sowhere else."
Chen Feng hadn’t planned to take her to Xiu Zhou in the first place, the won there were already plenty, and he didn’t want to take her along to make up a mahjong table. Now that she didn’t want to go, it worked out just fine. It was just a pity that once he went to Xiu Zhou, it would be difficult to have days like today.
"Ah, fine then." Chen Feng sighed with feigned disappointnt, "I really did want to take you with to Xiu Zhou, but since you’ve said so, I can only respect your wishes. However, I will still give you the 30,000 living expenses every month, until you find another man."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yujiao imdiately felt a bit embarrassed but also quite moved.
However, she hesitated for a while and ultimately didn’t agree to go to Xiu Zhou with Chen Feng.
After all, Chen Feng only regarded her as a mistress, not as a girlfriend or a significant other, the kind you marry in the future.
From a very practical consideration, since Chen Feng was not serious about her, she couldn’t hang all her hopes on Chen Feng. She still needed to find the kind of good, dosticated man that suited her, to start a new family, get married, and have children.
A woman needs a family to rely on and children to secure the family.
This had always been Lin Yujiao’s traditional and simple belief.
And now, Chen Feng couldn’t give her that commitnt, even if she was quite satisfied with him in her heart, but reason told her that Chen Feng was clearly not the most suitable life partner and ultimate destination.
"I’m sorry..."
Lin Yujiao’s multitude of thoughts and words finally condensed into that one phrase.
"Fool, there’s nothing to be sorry about. The one who should be sorry is . I can’t give you the marriage and the new ho you want."
Lin Yujiao didn’t speak again; she just silently rested in Chen Feng’s embrace once more.
Chen Feng didn’t speak either.
At that mont, silence was more aningful than words.
At noon, the two left the hotel and went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
They had planned to stroll around in the afternoon, but then Chen Feng’s mom, Zhao Xiaolan, called him ho urgently, saying there was an ergency.
Seeing no choice, Chen Feng took Lin Yujiao back to Qingpu Town.
He dropped Lin Yujiao off at her shop before heading ho himself.
From a distance, Chen Feng saw his family’s convenience store surrounded by quite a few people and thought sothing serious had happened. He hurriedly sped up, parked the car, and quickly got out.
But, after squeezing through the onlookers at the door and briskly walking into the store, he saw his mom and Wu ngting chatting and laughing, with several ladies standing beside them.
Wu ngting’s face was flushed, and she carried a friendly smile, while his mom also bead, looking at her with a motherly gaze.
Chen Feng suddenly got a very bad feeling.
"Ah Feng is back."
"Ah Feng, your girlfriend ca looking for you."
"Your taste isn’t bad, huh. She’s pretty."
...
Several aunties teased Chen Feng with laughter, which made him feel even more awkward.
"Brother Feng!"
Wu ngting, upon seeing Chen Feng, got up happily.
With an obviously stiff smile on his face, Chen Feng didn’t bother with small talk. He quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and headed straight to the back.
Like a shy bride, Wu ngting blushed and lowered her head, obediently following Chen Feng as he led her to the back.
The aunties’ laughter, like bells, followed from behind.
Quite quickly, Chen Feng pulled Wu ngting into a separate room in the back, closed the door, released her hand, and said irritably, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly co to my house like this? This isn’t good, you know, acting first and informing later."
"Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I apologize to you," Wu ngting kept apologizing with a very correct attitude, then with a frightened expression, she added, "I really didn’t expect your family ran a convenience store, and that there’d be so many neighbors around. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have dared to just show up like that. You don’t know how terrifying those aunties were, asking all kinds of questions, I was as embarrassed as I could be."
Chen Feng could imagine Wu ngting being surrounded and interrogated by those nosy aunties, and he shuddered at the thought; he might not have been able to handle it himself.
Thinking this way, he did feel sowhat sorry for Wu ngting.
But it was also her own fault for launching a surprise visit to his ho.
"Fine. You suddenly show up at my place and now all those aunties think you’re my girlfriend. Isn’t this complete nonsense? Just a couple of days ago, I told my family Little Rui was my girlfriend."
