Guo ngyao went to et Sister Li, leaving Chen Feng alone in the room feeling a bit bored, so he chatted with a few won on his phone. Mostly with Wu ngting.
He initially said he would stay for a day and then return, but now it seems he might need to stay for two or three days.
After all, Guo ngyao’s matter with the shares isn’t fully settled yet, and he also plans to take this opportunity to invest in her company.
This is business, and both emotionally and logically, Chen Feng has to stay with Guo ngyao.
Therefore, Chen Feng told Wu ngting the truth.
Although Wu ngting felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, she also understood that Chen Feng was dealing with serious matters. By staying and supporting Guo ngyao and earning her goodwill, it would surely be beneficial for him to invest in her company in the future.
Moreover, Chen Feng subtly implied that he intended for Wu ngting to hold shares in the costics company on his behalf in the future, which undoubtedly demonstrated his absolute trust in her.
This made Wu ngting feel moved, but at the sa ti, an indescribable sadness and heartache.
She knew that Chen Feng was terminally ill, so she always wanted to establish a romantic relationship with him as soon as possible. This was also the reason she mustered the courage to boldly visit his ho initially.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng was still stubbornly refusing to accept her. Since she had previously ssed up their relationship, she couldn’t bla Chen Feng, which left her feeling very frustrated.
Wu ngting said to Chen Feng on WeChat: "Although I’m your nominal god-sister, it’s obviously inappropriate for to hold shares worth tens of millions on your behalf. Your family would surely have opinions about it in the future."
By implication, her status as a god-sister wasn’t significant enough yet.
Chen Feng certainly understood and directly said: "I think your status as a god-sister is just right. If it were as a girlfriend, it might not be significant enough, or it could even make my family think you have ulterior motives. Neither can it be as a wife, otherwise, after I die, legally, my wife would inherit most of my assets, which would create even more conflicts with my family."
Wu ngting promptly said: "We can strive to have a child together. I don’t need any of your assets, but our child can inherit part of your assets, leaving the rest to your parents. This way, when I hold your shares on your behalf, no one would gossip, and I can wholeheartedly help you manage those shares, as well as help take care of your parents."
Wu ngting was really going all out, no longer hiding her feelings because she felt ti was truly running out. The doctor at the hospital had said Chen Feng only had a few months left, and now nearly two months had passed. She was genuinely worried that Chen Feng might leave suddenly.
Previously, she had tried hard not to think about this issue, but now that things had reached this point, she could only muster the courage to face this harsh reality and convince Chen Feng to accept her as soon as possible.
Additionally, with more and more won appearing around Chen Feng, the number of competitors increasing, and the competition getting stronger, her sense of crisis had heightened, and the pressure was mounting.
For instance, Guo ngyao, beautiful, sexy, and with an impressive career—having been his old classmate with possible ambiguities during high school, around the sa age, and having a foundation of feelings—in case she hit it off with him, what place would be left for her as a god-sister?
She couldn’t worry about any feminine modesty; missing such an opportunity would lead to a lifelong regret. She didn’t want to live with regret for the rest of her life.
Chen Feng didn’t expect Wu ngting to be so bold, directly saying she wanted to have his child. As soone nearing the end of his life, feeling moved by this was inevitable.
After all, he was already thirty and still childless. If it were back when he had just divorced, with no won around him, dying alone might have been acceptable.
But now, with more and more won around and two or three won he had good feelings for, the idea of leaving a legacy through them was impossible to avoid.
This is a basic human instinct.
Previously, he also worried that if he left a legacy, soone might take advantage of his wife or harm his child in the future.
But this worry could actually be prevented in advance, considering his parents and family were still alive.
He could easily leave a will to his family, stating that before the child cos of age, the child’s mother cannot remarry or form a new family. Otherwise, custody would revert to his parents and family.
In this regard, he could even sign an agreent with the child’s mother in advance, stipulating how much to pay her monthly, and if she remarries, the custody would go to his parents, and the monthly allowance would cease. More detailed terms could be drafted by professionals.
He could even have the child be raised by his parents imdiately after birth, thus eliminating any issues.
And if the woman in question was Wu ngting, Chen Feng would have no such worries. He trusted her; once they had a child together, she definitely wouldn’t casually remarry, and she might even remain unmarried for life after he passed.
Yet, doing so would be really unfair and cruel to her. He could just die and be done with it, but leaving her as a widowed single mother was sothing he couldn’t bear.
Moreover, he couldn’t casually father a child with just any woman; that wouldn’t align with his principles.
Whatever the case, it had to be mutual affection for it to happen, and not just any woman could bear his child.
After pausing for a long while, Chen Feng composed himself and replied: "You make feel very guilty. I really don’t know what makes worthy of such dedication from you? Still, like I said before, I don’t want to harm you. I could die at any mont, and even if I’m lucky to live longer, I can’t possibly live to see our child grow up. What would you two do then?"
Wu ngting quickly texted back: "I have hands and feet, and we both have our families, especially since your parents are still alive. Are you worried no one would care for our child in the future? Brother Feng, I’m soone who is emotional and stubborn; once I’ve decided on you, I won’t easily change. I’m willing to have a child for you and give you a legacy.
Otherwise, just think, once you’ve gone, there would truly be nothing left, everything would be in vain. But leaving behind a descendant would be different. Your life and genes would continue, and there would be descendants to rember and cherish you."
If face-to-face, it would have really been difficult for Wu ngting to muster up the nerve to say these words, but since they were texting on WeChat and her work involved writing, composing such a long ssage with persuasive language wasn’t so hard.
Yet, a faint sense of sha still lingered in her heart, causing her heartbeat to accelerate, and her face felt a bit warm.
Seeing this ssage, Chen Feng felt a mix of emotions, bittersweet. On the one hand, it was unsettling to talk about his future descendants reminiscing about him when he wasn’t dead yet; on the other hand, it was flattering and touching that a beautiful, highly-educated woman like Wu ngting wanted to have his child, irrespective of his short lifespan. As a man, he couldn’t help but feel proud and moved.
