Chen Feng wanted to withdraw his investnt from Guo ngyao’s company, not because he was short on cash or wanted to expand Fengmang Film and Television Company.
It was because he didn’t want to have too many entanglents with Guo ngyao anymore.
After he intervened in the marriage of her younger brother, things had beco quite subtle between them, almost an unspoken end to their previous romantic relationship.
Now that there was no longer a romantic relationship between them, but still an economic interest, it was obviously not ideal, so taking this opportunity, Chen Feng planned to withdraw his investnt and cut off any economic ties with her as well.
In his heart, Chen Feng felt a bit reluctant, after all, Guo ngyao had been his classmate for three years in high school, her looks and temperant matched his aesthetics, and she was also alluring in bed. To completely cut off ties like this left him with so regret.
But this is life, always leaving various regrets.
Moreover, previously, Guo ngyao and her parents had been pressing for marriage, which he resisted a lot, so ending it like this was actually a good conclusion for both him and Guo ngyao.
Chen Feng could only silently wish Guo ngyao happiness in the future.
The next morning, when Chen Feng got up and went downstairs to work out, his Aunt Chen Xiaoxia was already gone from the villa, leaving him a note saying breakfast was prepared in the kitchen, his favorite sticky rice from ho.
Chen Feng quickly went to take a few bites, and it indeed tasted like ho.
Leaving it in the rice cooker to keep warm, he went out for a morning run.
Running two laps around the community, on the third lap, Chen Feng t two old classmates he hadn’t seen in a few days, Yu Xiaohui and Lou Xiaojiao. Both dressed in short-sleeved sportswear with ponytails, although Lou Xiaojiao’s hair was shorter, she looked quite spirited.
"Chen Feng, your habit of getting up early to exercise is great. We plan to learn from you and do morning exercises too."
Lou Xiaojiao ca over first to greet Chen Feng, while Yu Xiaohui behind her smiled and nodded at Chen Feng.
"Sure, running in the morning is good for your health."
Chen Feng didn’t intend to stop, only slowing down slightly, and after saying this, he started to speed up again.
Seeing this, Lou Xiaojiao quickly shouted, "Slow down, let’s jog together."
Hearing this, Chen Feng slowed his pace again, being considerate.
The two won caught up, one on either side, running together with him.
"What have you been up to these days? Staying at ho?"
Lou Xiaojiao asked while running.
"Sotis not at ho."
Chen Feng casually replied.
"If not ho, where did you go?"
"Why so detailed?"
"Can’t I ask?"
Chen Feng didn’t bother responding further, keeping his head down and running.
Seeing him silent, Lou Xiaojiao finally quieted down too, running alongside him silently.
Chen Feng intentionally sped up to leave them behind.
However, these two clearly didn’t have much stamina, after half a lap, about five or six hundred ters, they were panting heavily, unable to continue.
First Yu Xiaohui stopped for breath, then Lou Xiaojiao.
Without stopping, Chen Feng glanced back at them and continued running.
After finishing this lap, he headed straight back to the villa, without eting the two old classmates again.
By this ti, Wu ngting was already up, eating breakfast, and when Chen Feng returned, she said with a smile, "Your aunt’s sticky rice is really good; hurry and shower, co join for breakfast."
"Okay, I’ll be down in five minutes."
True to his word, Chen Feng showered and ca down in five minutes.
They sat face-to-face again, just the two of them.
"Last night, your aunt asked if we planned to get engaged this year, and I said it depends on you. Then she asked if I’d break up if you had another woman outside. I said I didn’t know. Do you think she knows about soone else you have outside?"
Wu ngting blinked her big eyes, gazing at Chen Feng with a watery look.
Chen Feng shrugged and said, "It’s obvious. With not coming ho at night before, she must have guessed."
Wu ngting shook her head, "That’s not it. When you weren’t coming ho, she might have only had doubts. But from how she sounded last night, she seed sure you had soone outside. Were you seen with another woman while playing outside?"
Indifferently, Chen Feng said, "Possibly. I’m not really sure."
This attitude from Chen Feng left Wu ngting a bit dissatisfied, so she directly asked, "Do you plan to get engaged with this year?"
Chen Feng remained calm, continuing to eat his sticky rice while looking at her calmly, "We already discussed this before, rushing into marriage without confirming we’re really compatible is irresponsible to both of us, especially to you. After all, I’m currently suffering from a terminal illness."
"Stop talking about terminal illness," Wu ngting interrupted angrily, glaring at him, "You’re perfectly fine now, and your condition is improving. I believe you will recover."
Chen Feng looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you really think I’ll recover?"
Gazing steadily at him, Wu ngting said firmly, "I believe!"
"Alright then. If in three years I really do recover, and you still think we’re suitable for marriage, we’ll get married then."
"Three years?" Wu ngting said, displeased, "You’re definitely trying to fool again."
Chen Feng shook his head, "I’m sincere. How could I fool you? In three years, you’ll only be twenty-six; it won’t be late for you to marry then."
"But by then, you’ll be thirty-three," Wu ngting said, gritting her teeth slightly.
Chen Feng laughed, "A man at thirty-three isn’t old."
With a determined tone, Wu ngting shook her head, "No. By the end of next year at the latest, we must get married. Also, it’s best if we get engaged before the end of this year. This is your mother’s idea as well as my parents’."
Chen Feng also shook his head, "You’re being too hasty. You’re only twenty-three this year, and I think you haven’t fully understood if you really love , or if it’s sympathy and pity driving you, making you so persistent with ."
Wu ngting said sternly, "I am clear about my feelings for you. When you first asked to be your sister, I agreed muddleheadedly since I wasn’t sure about our relationship then. But after a long period of reflection and introspection, I am very sure about my feelings for you, especially now, I am even more certain."
Such a straightforward confession from Wu ngting left Chen Feng feeling sowhat sentintal.
Once a naive innocent girl, she could not have calmly said such things to him; having her work in the company indeed trained her well. How quickly she’s already showing signs of being a domineering CEO.
"Your certainty isn’t enough. I’m not yet sure if you’re right to be my wife. I don’t want to deceive you, nor myself. Firstly, I have lingering fears about marriage; secondly, I know myself, and my flirtatious, unfaithful tendencies are hard to change. Therefore, if we marry, I can’t guarantee I’ll always be faithful to you, or to the marriage."
