Wu ngting really didn't expect Zhao Xiaolan to bring up the matter.
Previously, her parents had wanted to et Chen Feng's parents, but she had always dissuaded them.
Now, with Zhao Xiaolan bringing it up herself, Wu ngting's first reaction was, of course, surprise, but then she also thought about Chen Feng's attitude towards the matter.
Chen Feng clearly didn't want both parents to et, especially to directly discuss marriage.
If he found out about this, he would definitely be angry, without a doubt. The consequences might even be serious.
She didn't want to upset Chen Feng over this, or cause any rift between them.
So, even though Wu ngting really wanted to agree, she ultimately sighed inwardly and shook her head, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, but Brother Feng would definitely be upset if he knew. Let's talk about it later, after he and I officially beco a couple."
Hearing her words, Zhao Xiaolan felt both comforted and even more sympathetic. She gently patted Wu ngting's hand again, saying, "Oh! You're really being wronged. If Ah Feng doesn't cherish you, heaven will punish him. Don't worry, you're already my daughter-in-law in my heart. If Ah Feng marries another woman, I won't acknowledge it."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"No need to thank . Don't see Auntie as an outsider; we're a family from now on."
...
Chen Feng had no idea he had just narrowly avoided a disaster. If Wu ngting had agreed to their parents eting, things would certainly have spiraled out of control for him.
He was already sowhat regretting the six-month agreent he made with Wu ngting, let alone the parents eting and directly discussing marriage.
After hanging up his mom's call, Chen Feng soon arrived at Yujing Hotel and quickly booked a luxury suite.
As he took the elevator upstairs with his key card, he sent the room number to Guo ngyao via WeChat.
After lying on the hotel room bed and watching TV for about half an hour, Guo ngyao finally replied briefly: [I'm in the elevator, open the door first]
Chen Feng quickly got off the bed to open the door and waited by it.
Sure enough, within two minutes, he heard footsteps in the hallway, and soon Guo ngyao, carrying a sweet fragrance, reached the doorway.
She had clearly dressed up ticulously; if anything, the perfu's scent was quite strong, obvious that she had just sprayed it not long ago, and she had styled her hair into an elegant updo and wore a delicate hair accessory.
This might be because Chen Feng had once said her hair looked best when styled up.
She was also wearing a flowing white dress that made her look a few years younger.
"What are you staring at? Aren't you going to step aside?"
Seeing Chen Feng lost in looking at her, Guo ngyao was quite satisfied; it was worth spending over an hour preparing before coming.
But she didn't want to keep standing at the door.
After saying this, she reached out, gently pushed Chen Feng aside, and walked into the room.
Chen Feng snapped back to reality, quickly closed the door, and teasingly said, "You look so different today, quite stunning. But I rember you didn't used to wear dresses much?"
Guo ngyao naturally replied, "I didn't like them much before, but now I kind of do. After all, they're cooler to wear."
Chen Feng, of course, knew she was dressing to please him, but he didn't point it out. Stepping forward naturally, he placed a hand on her shoulder, looking down gently at her, and softly said, "You really do look beautiful today."
Hearing this, Guo ngyao felt a slight sweetness and, for once, blushed a bit, feigning a pout, "It's like you're saying I wasn't pretty before."
"You've always been pretty. Even back in high school, though I didn't have special feelings for you, I always thought you were one of the prettiest girls in our class, at least in the top three."
"Tch, who are you kidding? In class, I was such a tomboy. You guys all liked soone like Cheng Yuhuan, the class beauty. I couldn't even make the top ten."
Although she said this, Guo ngyao was secretly pleased.
Chen Feng corrected her earnestly, "You're underestimating yourself. Qin Zhen, for instance, had a crush on you back then. He'd dated a few tis in high school but never forgot about you."
"Oh, please! No way. Qin Zhen was so arrogant, I rember arguing with him several tis, almost getting into a fight once, how could he have had a crush on ?"
"Believe it or not, I'm serious. Back then, you just didn't dress up much, and your personality was a bit bold, but you weren't ugly at all."
"Alright." Guo ngyao lightly tapped Chen Feng's arm, giving him a playful glare, "You've been sweet-talking , calling pretty. Do you have any ulterior motives?"
Chen Feng laughed heartily, "Of course I have ulterior motives, like wanting to sleep with you."
With that, Chen Feng suddenly scooped her up into his arms, and Guo ngyao exclaid, wrapping her arms around his neck, looking up at his handso face, her eyes instantly becoming watery.
...
Over an hour later.
"Do you have any cigarettes?" Guo ngyao suddenly asked for a smoke while lying beside him.
"Since when did you start smoking?" Chen Feng frowned, glancing at her still slightly tired face.
"I haven't. Just suddenly felt like trying one. Don't guys like to have a smoke afterwards? I wanted to try it too."
This comnt irked Chen Feng a bit. What did she an by "you guys"? It naturally made him think of her ex-husband or other n, and it didn't please him at all.
"Nothing worth trying. I never really smoked, only occasionally due to work and social gatherings. Now I don't even smoke a single cigarette. Don't be curious; everyone knows smoking is a bad habit and harmful to health. You're past the age of being a little girl; don't try such things."
"Oh, shut up. I'm still young."
Guo ngyao unceremoniously reached out and pinched his arm.
It hurt a little, but Chen Feng didn't cry out, he simply reciprocated by lightly pinching her back, making her yelp.
"You jerk! No pity at all."
Guo ngyao raised her hand to hit him, but ultimately didn't.
Chen Feng rolled over on top of her, smiling as he said, "Alright, I give up."
Looking each other in the eye, they both burst into laughter.
...
Around nine-thirty at night, Guo ngyao hurriedly left, not even taking a shower.
Chen Feng showered before going downstairs to check out.
And just by chance, in the hotel lobby, he ran into an old classmate, Fang Xiaoyue, whom he hadn't seen in a long ti.
Chen Feng was about to head towards the front desk, while Fang Xiaoyue was heading to the elevator, and they locked eyes across a dozen ters.
It was clear she wasn't staying in the hotel alone, as her ho and work were in the sa town.
The only explanation was that she was also here for a tryst. Chen Feng quickly noticed the middle-aged guy walking ahead of her. Looking around forty, wearing glasses, scholarly-looking, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes despite the heat—clearly a pseudo-scholar, probably an office worker.
