For Chen Feng, it wasn’t really an issue, but Lin Yujiao was clearly feeling a bit guilty and shy.
As for Wu ngting, she too was unfazed by the events, even wishing there had been more going on. Unfortunately, with Lin Yujiao still by her side, she couldn’t let everyone think she and Chen Feng were in a romantic relationship.
However, after observing the situation for two days, the neighbors around the Chen family already regarded her as Chen Feng’s new girlfriend, and even Zhao Xiaolan often treated her with the affection and tone reserved for a daughter-in-law, which thrilled her.
She knew her proactive approach to forging a connection was working.
The three split up at the crossroads, went ho to shower, change clothes, and then set out again for Bay Town.
With Lin Yujiao, a local, acting as their guide, they first visited a beach. It was a place mostly for adults bringing children to play in the sand—nothing else really interesting. The weather was cold, and the waters were murky, mixing mud and sand much like river water.
They had a al at a local seafood restaurant for lunch. Probably due to being locals, they weren’t ripped off; the al cost five to six hundred yuan and filled the table, the prices fair.
In the afternoon, Lin Yujiao took them hiking to Guanyin Temple, known for its effective fortune-telling.
In recent years, many devotees pooled over 20 million yuan to refurbish Guanyin Temple into a splendid, majestic site, turning it into a tourist attraction.
While they were enjoying their outing, Lin Yujiao received a phone call that visibly changed her mood to one of distraction.
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t pretend to ignore it and directly asked her, "Is sothing the matter?"
Looking at Chen Feng, she didn’t hide anything, whispering to him, "My ex-husband and his mother went to my parents’ house this morning. His mother apologized to my family, even offering to kowtow in atonent, and... they brought 200,000 yuan as betrothal money, proposing to my family. They said the money would be completely ours and did not ask for any dowry in return. Also... if we remarried, my na would be added to the house deed and control over the money would be mine..."
That was indeed a very sincere proposal!
"What do you think? If you’re considering it, I won’t stop you," Chen Feng stated bluntly.
There were many who remarried after a divorce, and of course, many who divorced again after remarrying.
Although Lin Yujiao was currently a mistress he was supporting, they had already agreed not to hinder each other’s pursuit of happiness.
Moreover, Lin Yujiao and her ex-husband had initially been together for seven to eight years; if not for the conflict with her mother-in-law, they might not have divorced. There was likely still so affection between them.
Of course, that was Chen Feng’s understanding. The specifics were only known to Lin Yujiao and her ex-husband.
Yet Chen Feng’s frank and open attitude imdiately soured Lin Yujiao’s mood, leading her to complain with a stern face, "Can’t you hesitate even a little?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Silly child, we’ve had our agreent for a long ti. Besides, coerced affection is never sweet. I like you, but I can’t make any promises or commitnts. If you want to pursue your happiness, I have no right to stop you."
Wu ngting, who had been eavesdropping nearby, ca closer, smiling and saying, "Yeah, Brother Feng won’t stop you; in fact, he will bless you. Many couples only learn to appreciate each other after a divorce, realize they still love each other, and then remarry to live happily together."
