Lin Yujiao, slightly dazed, finally ca to her senses and her face broke into a smile as she said, "Hello, you are really pretty."
"Thank you," replied Wu ngting with a smile of her own before changing the subject, "We plan to visit Bay Town this afternoon. Brother Feng ntioned it to you, right? We are going to need your help as our guide."
"He ntioned it, no trouble at all. Bay Town is my hotown, but it has been years since I’ve properly enjoyed myself there. This ti, I’ll have fun with you. I heard they’ve just built a seafront pronade which should be quite nice. We can go check it out this afternoon."
"The seafront pronade?" Wu ngting, who also loved exploring, happily said, "Then we’ll have a good ti this afternoon."
"Yep, besides the seafront pronade, there’s also the beach."
Lin Yujiao went on to introduce a few spots in Bay Town, piquing Wu ngting’s interest. Consequently, the two won started chatting about the scenery and the cuisine, presenting a harmonious scene.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, hadn’t spoken much but was focused on working out on several pieces of exercise equipnt. After about ten minutes, he called out to them to get going.
The two won continued to chat as they walked, seemingly having a great ti, which surprised Chen Feng.
However, thinking of how Sun Xiaorui and Wu ngting now seed like "sisters," he made peace with it.
At the crossroads, they parted ways; Chen Feng went ho with Wu ngting, and Lin Yujiao returned to her rented room behind the shop—a small place just big enough for one person.
Lin Yujiao didn’t use to mind, but now, watching Chen Feng and Wu ngting walking side by side on their way ho, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sourness.
After all, she was sowhat a mistress kept in the shadows; Chen Feng would never bring her ho to et the family openly.
anwhile, Wu ngting was Chen Feng’s sworn sister and was respected enough to be brought ho and to stay there.
By comparison, she felt quite the failure and as if she were less than others.
All she could do was recall the thirty thousand yen Chen Feng had transferred to her the night before. Not counting the seven thousand yen he’d given her earlier, that made a total of thirty-seven thousand yen given directly to her, and this was just the first month. Chen Feng said he would send her thirty thousand yen each month to co.
Such a large sum was rather uncommon.
After all, thirty-six thousand yen a year was more than what she earned from running her clothing store through hard work.
Hence, thinking of the tangible money Chen Feng had given her, she shouldn’t have been dissatisfied, yet her heart was nevertheless uncomfortable.
The crux of it was that Wu ngting was outright and proper with Chen Feng, while she couldn’t be open about her relationship with him, even if it wasn’t exactly secretive.
Moreover, Wu ngting’s overall status far surpassed her own, which inevitably made her feel inferior and sowhat self-pitying.
Watching Chen Feng and Wu ngting go ho together, Lin Yujiao then turned back with a vague sense of depression to her rented place.
When Chen Feng and Wu ngting returned ho, his dad was at the small store, and his mom was already busy in the kitchen.
Wu ngting quickly went over to help, only to be sent by Zhao Xiaolan to take a shower first.
The lunch was very sumptuous, almost like a New Year’s feast, with a full table of dishes—twelve in total, three of which were cooked by Wu ngting.
Besides the two nieces in kindergarten, the whole family was present for lunch, even Chen Rui ca back from the car beauty shop.
Everyone had a happy al, and sister-in-law Li Guihong, who sat next to Wu ngting today, took the initiative to ask her many questions, including those about her parents and family.
Wu ngting was anything but impatient, openly talking about her family, including her parents’ jobs and where they lived in the city.
Her candid deanor and natural attitude earned unanimous praise from the Chen family.
And the three dishes she cooked received endless complints. In fact, they tasted even better than those made by Zhao Xiaolan.
Chen Feng, of course, knew this already. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so reluctant to let go of Wu ngting and sever their relationship.
For soone with a terminal illness and running out of ti, enjoying the pleasures of food was clearly important. On the brink of death, one might as well indulge in good food, drinks, and fun, otherwise, what would be the point of this life?
The al lasted over an hour before they finished. Wu ngting helped clear the table and volunteered to do the dishes, but Zhao Xiaolan firmly refused.
Seeing this, Wu ngting could only give up but remained by Zhao Xiaolan’s side to chat. Their conversation lasted a while until all the dishes were washed.
Through this al, Wu ngting could be said to have won the unanimous affection and support of Chen Feng’s entire family.
This made Chen Feng sowhat helpless, but he wasn’t too bothered. Since he would be going to Xiu Zhou after the New Year and didn’t know how much longer he would live, he certainly didn’t need to worry about his mom pressuring him to marry Wu ngting.
Around two o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng and Wu ngting left to et up with Lin Yujiao and drive to Bay Town.
Their first stop was the seafront pronade, where the scenery was really nice. Even in winter, with a rather strong sea breeze, there were still many tourists.
The pronade wound along the sea cliffs for almost two kiloters, representing a significant investnt.
The trio walked the length of the pronade, stopping here and there to take photos. By the ti they headed back, the sky had turned dark.
Today’s journey ca to a temporary end. However, they could continue to explore Bay Town tomorrow, as Lin Yujiao offered to take them to the beach for barbecue and seafood.
When they got ho at about half-past seven, Wu ngting finally t Little Yu and Little Xue and quickly pulled out the toys she had bought at the supermarket on her way back, instantly winning their favor.
