Ever since her parents divorced, Guo ngyao learned to be strong, learned to be independent, and learned to work hard. But whenever she was alone late at night, she would quietly hide under the covers and cry.
She longed for soone to accompany her, soone to talk to, soone to encourage her, to rely on each other and support each other.
During college, her husband gave her this illusion. With his handso appearance and eloquence, he made her feel she had found soone to rely on, only to realize it was all self-deceptive illusions when she beca pregnant.
From that mont on, she vowed deep in her heart never to believe in love, never to trust n again.
Until she t Chen Feng, the "first love" she had a crush on during her teenage years, her initial vow slowly began to crumble.
At first, it was simply because she had been "single" for too long. After encountering her first love, she unknowingly felt excited and wanted to make up for the regrets of her youth.
To put it plainly, she just wanted to play around, but after a few tis, she beca sowhat addicted and developed an unwarranted possessiveness.
She realized it was sowhat inappropriate, but it was still hard to resist. Such is the nature of feelings; initially, you may approach it as a ga, but as you go deeper, you find it hard to extricate yourself.
She worried about eting the wrong person again and was annoyed at Chen Feng, her old schoolmate and first love, for being indifferent, not caring much about her.
But regardless of everything, now, when she most needed help and reliance, Chen Feng stood out decisively.
Her previous resentnt towards Chen Feng disappeared instantly, replaced only by imnse gratitude.
Chen Feng planned to go to Guang City to help her, give her courage, mainly to foster a good relationship and prepare for future matters.
Additionally, it was because of the special relationship between him and Guo ngyao.
Although the two seed to be only using each other, limited to physical connections, developing feelings over ti was natural.
Especially since they were old classmates.
After Chen Feng hung up the phone, he booked a flight ticket to Guang City for the afternoon on his phone.
Lin Yujiao, who was lying beside him, was naturally awake by this ti. Having heard the whole conversation, she asked sowhat resentfully after Chen Feng put down the phone, "Are you going to Guang City?"
"Yes." Chen Feng embraced her with so apology and said, "Guo ngyao is in trouble over there, and I also want to invest in her company. This is a rare opportunity, and I need to help her, so she’ll owe a favor."
"Have you slept with her?" Lin Yujiao wasn’t foolish and directly hit the core of the issue.
Chen Feng felt a bit awkward but confessed honestly, "Yes, I’ve slept with her, but we aren’t involved emotionally, just purely physical."
"Heh, but she is a married woman."
Though Lin Yujiao was obedient, hearing confirmation from Chen Feng stirred so emotions within her.
Chen Feng unceremoniously squeezed her a bit, then irritably said, "She and her husband have been separated for almost a year now. This ti, her husband colluded with outsiders to calculate against her, forcing her to split the family assets..."
"No matter what, she hasn’t divorced yet, right?"
Chen Feng was at a loss for words briefly, then irritably squeezed her again.
Lin Yujiao cried out in pain before Chen Feng satisfactorily said, "Alright. Don’t be so jealous, neither you, nor Guo ngyao, nor ngting can marry . You’re all the sa."
"Heartless man!"
Lin Yujiao angrily comnted like this.
Chen Feng smiled nonchalantly and got out of bed, saying to her, "You should first go to Longhua Street today and maybe contact ngting to go with you. Oh, damn, she seed to be coming over to my house for New Year celebrations today."
Chen Feng quickly picked up his phone to check, sure enough, Wu ngting had left a ssage over an hour ago, saying she was getting ready to head to his house.
It was about nine o’clock then, now it was half-past ten. No doubt, she must be on her way.
If she arrived and found him not at ho, she probably would contact him.
Thinking that way, Chen Feng’s phone rang; it was a call from his mom.
Chen Feng hurriedly answered, it was indeed his mom informing him Wu ngting had arrived at his house, asking where he was.
Chen Feng could only tell the "truth," saying an old classmate opened a costic factory, and he wanted to invest in her company, planning to fly to Guang City this afternoon for a field visit, returning at the earliest tomorrow.
Zhao Xiaolan hearing Chen Feng was busy with legitimate matters, wouldn’t make him co back ho.
After hanging up his mom’s call, Chen Feng sent a ssage to Wu ngting on WeChat, expressing his apologies.
Wu ngting was evidently beside Zhao Xiaolan just now, asking if the old classmate he ntioned was Guo ngyao and why he was going to Guang City since she knew Guo ngyao’s company had moved to Lin Nan.
Chen Feng had no choice but to explain to her that the company hadn’t moved completely.
Wu ngting clearly wasn’t simple-minded, she knew there was so ambiguity between Chen Feng and Guo ngyao, but after all, she was no longer Chen Feng’s girlfriend, she didn’t have the right to question him. She only reminded Chen Feng that Guo ngyao is a married woman and advised him to maintain a proper social distance.
Chen Feng found it amusing inwardly, but he genuinely accepted her reminder.
After handling his mom and Wu ngting, Chen Feng told Lin Yujiao, who was waking up and getting dressed beside him, "ngting is now at my house for New Year. You can contact her, see if she’ll join you this afternoon to Longhua Street."
"Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? She just ca from downtown and now asking her to go again."
Lin Yujiao hesitantly asked.
"Didn’t she already say she’d help you? Besides, I’m not ho, her being alone at my place isn’t fun. It’s better to let her join you to Longhua Street."
Lin Yujiao pondered for a mont before nodding and saying, "Alright, I’ll contact her. If she doesn’t go, I’ll go alone."
After saying that, she hesitated briefly and asked, "Should I go to your house for New Year greetings too?"
Chen Feng glanced at her and smiled, "You decide yourself whether to go or not."
Lin Yujiao hurriedly said, "Then I’ll go. After all, during your last birthday, I attended and t your family; not going would be bad. I’ll inform ngting, and then go to your house this afternoon."
"Up to you."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he went to freshen up.
He had a casual lunch with Lin Yujiao at the hotel, then they separated.
Chen Feng didn’t let her accompany him to the airport but drove there himself. He originally planned to return tomorrow, parking for a day at the airport wasn’t a problem.
The plane left at two in the afternoon, arriving at Guang City airport two hours later. Guo ngyao personally ca to pick him up.
"I have already arranged to et Xue Jun and Sister Li tonight. Are you going with ?"
After getting into the car and starting it, Guo ngyao spoke.
Chen Feng agreed without hesitation, "I’ll certainly go along. No matter what, I’ll support you."
"You’re so kind." Guo ngyao emotionally glanced sideways at Chen Feng in the passenger seat, then composed herself and said, "I plan to talk with them calmly at first. One proposal is for Xue Jun and to repurchase Sister Li’s shares together; I’ll take only 10%, and the remaining 15% will go to Xue Jun. Another proposal is making the biggest concession, allowing to repurchase all of Sister Li’s shares first and then transfer 5% to Xue Jun at a low price."
