Wu ngting broke the silence first, saying, "Auntie seems very anxious to et my parents and discuss our situation. What do you think?"
Wu ngting's sudden move left Chen Feng stunned.
The question was really hard to answer. After a mont of silence, Chen Feng replied, "The things you ntioned about discussing us, specifically what do you an? Are you talking about marriage?"
Wu ngting nodded calmly, "Yes. What else did you think?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng sighed and said, "Others don't know, but you should be aware of my illness. Although my condition has improved now, as long as it's not completely cured, I can't truly be at ease for even a day. If sothing bad happens in the future... I really don't want to harm you. When we first made the six-month agreent to be my girlfriend, I was already being really selfish. I don't want to end up making you a widow in the future..."
"Enough. I understand your concerns," Wu ngting interrupted him, speaking with firm determination, "I don't care. I don't care about your illness. Even if sothing bad happens to you in the future, I'm willing to accept it. Even if I'm destined to beco a widow, I accept it. That's why I hope we'll get engaged within this year and marry at the latest by next year."
Hearing her words, Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat.
The last two to three months of a carefree "single life" had completely altered his initial views. Coupled with the failure of his first marriage, he really didn't want to be bound by marriage again.
With money, leisure, and no shortage of won, isn't this carefree "single life" wonderful?
Why should he enter the prison of marriage again?
But back then, driven by a mont of weakness and selfish desire, he made a six-month agreent with Wu ngting and carelessly ntioned things like marriage.
Chen Feng really wanted to slap himself right now.
Noticing Chen Feng's prolonged silence, Wu ngting frowned and asked, "What? Are you not planning to get engaged with this year?"
Facing Wu ngting's bright and captivating eyes, Chen Feng sighed again, "ngting, I think we should delay the marriage because... I feel like I have a fear of marriage now. When you ntioned engagent and marriage, I panicked inside. Maybe the fallout from the previous marriage has left a deep psychological scar."
Besides, although we understand each other now, if we get engaged, our relationship won't be the sa. We might not be able to get along as well as we do now. Also, you know I have quite a wandering heart now, with other won on the outside. I find it hard to guarantee that after our engagent, I'll completely cut off relations with other won."
Listening to Chen Feng's words, Wu ngting wasn't overly angry. She just let out a gentle sigh and said, "I knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as I thought. You're like a wild horse now, galloping freely on the grassland, having too much fun to stop suddenly.
But I know that one day, you'll feel tired, you'll stop and look for a quiet place to rest. But I don't know when that day will co. You made a six-month agreent with before, and I agreed. Now there's a little over two months remaining. Tell , is two months' ti enough?"
Chen Feng was speechless again. Deep down, he knew these two months wouldn't be enough because, as she said, he'd beco like a wild horse, regaining freedom, running wild, not wanting to be shackled again by emotions and marriage.
How could two months be enough? Even two years might not suffice.
Simply put, he was indulging his wild heart and hadn't played enough yet; how could he willingly enter the "prison" of marriage?
Seeing Chen Feng's prolonged silence, Wu ngting finally got a little angry. She bit her lip and asked, one word at a ti, "Are you planning to break our agreent?"
"No," Chen Feng instinctively denied. Deep down, he really liked Wu ngting. She was undeniably a first-rate beauty, well-educated, and even his mom liked her. Though she had a bit of a temper, it was understandable, and overall, she was great.
Of all the won he knew, Wu ngting was undoubtedly the best in terms of overall quality and conditions. If Chen Feng was to discuss love or marriage, Wu ngting would undoubtedly be the best choice.
So letting go of such a great woman like Wu ngting was sothing he couldn't do easily.
"Since you don't intend to break the agreent, then after these two months, we'll officially beco boyfriend and girlfriend. You must start cutting off ties with other won. This is what we agreed upon before; you can't fail to do this, can you?"
Under Wu ngting's piercing gaze, Chen Feng shook his head and replied, "A few months ago, I would've agreed without hesitation, but now I can't guarantee completely severing ties with other won. I can only try my best. I don't want to deceive you."
Wu ngting's eyes turned sharp as she stared at Chen Feng, but Chen Feng didn't avoid her gaze, looking right back at her openly.
After a while, Wu ngting finally spoke, "I'll give you a buffer. You can't continue to ss around like this. When the ti cos, except for Little Rui, you need to cut off connections with all other won. If you can't even do that, then I'll... I'll leave you forever, and you'll never see again."
Chen Feng contemplated fiercely giving up this beauty, thinking that he shouldn't sacrifice a whole forest for a single tree. But this particular tree was so beautiful that he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
Chen Feng didn't want to agree to her demand, yet he didn't want her to leave either. So he resorted to delaying tactics.
"Isn't it a bit early to say this now? After all, there are still more than two months left. Let take it slow."
Wu ngting snorted coldly and said, "Your mom said you have thick skin, and it's true. My constant concessions and tolerance for you have made you more audacious."
Chen Feng imdiately grinned cheekily, "I know there are only two people in this world who care about : my mom and you. I can swear to the heavens that if I do get married in the future, you'll be my only choice."
What Chen Feng said wasn't a lie. At least at this mont, he genuinely ant it 100%.
Hearing his words, Wu ngting felt delighted. Her originally stern face relaxed, and she couldn't help lightly hitting his arm, playfully scolding, "You really have thick skin."
Chen Feng grabbed her soft little hand, smiling, "I only have thick skin for those I care about."
Wu ngting strained to pull her hand back but failed, and her face blushed, her heart beating slightly faster.
After all, it was just the two of them in the room, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Just as she was feeling both nervous and expectant, Chen Feng let go of her and stood up, saying, "I'm going to talk to my mom about sothing."
Seeing this obvious avoidance, Wu ngting felt a bit angry but also a bit pleased. At least he didn't make a move on her, which was different from how he treated other won.
