After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 999 - 531: Trying to Fool Me Again

Chen Feng wanted to withdraw his investment from Guo Mengyao’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 entanglements with Guo Mengyao anymore.

After he intervened in the marriage of her younger brother, things had become 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 investment and cut off any economic ties with her as well.

In his heart, Chen Feng felt a bit reluctant, after all, Guo Mengyao had been his classmate for three years in high school, her looks and temperament matched his aesthetics, and she was also alluring in bed. To completely cut off ties like this left him with some regret.

But this is life, always leaving various regrets.

Moreover, previously, Guo Mengyao 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 Mengyao.

Chen Feng could only silently wish Guo Mengyao 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 home.

Chen Feng quickly went to take a few bites, and it indeed tasted like home.

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 met 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 came 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 women caught up, one on either side, running together with him.

"What have you been up to these days? Staying at home?"

Lou Xiaojiao asked while running.

"Sometimes not at home."

Chen Feng casually replied.

"If not home, 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 meters, 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 meeting the two old classmates again.

By this time, Wu Mengting 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, come join me for breakfast."

"Okay, I’ll be down in five minutes."

True to his word, Chen Feng showered and came down in five minutes.

They sat face-to-face again, just the two of them.

"Last night, your aunt asked me 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 someone else you have outside?"

Wu Mengting blinked her big eyes, gazing at Chen Feng with a watery look.

Chen Feng shrugged and said, "It’s obvious. With me not coming home at night before, she must have guessed."

Wu Mengting shook her head, "That’s not it. When you weren’t coming home, she might have only had doubts. But from how she sounded last night, she seemed sure you had someone 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 Mengting a bit dissatisfied, so she directly asked, "Do you plan to get engaged with me 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 Mengting 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 Mengting 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 Mengting said, displeased, "You’re definitely trying to fool me 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 Mengting said, gritting her teeth slightly.

Chen Feng laughed, "A man at thirty-three isn’t old."

With a determined tone, Wu Mengting 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 me, or if it’s sympathy and pity driving you, making you so persistent with me."

Wu Mengting said sternly, "I am clear about my feelings for you. When you first asked me 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 Mengting left Chen Feng feeling somewhat sentimental.

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."
