Chapter 650: Chapter 355: Always Sincere to You_2
Guo Mengyao didn’t respond immediately. It was only after Chen Feng had finished his lunch that she finally sent an "Oh."
Chen Feng didn’t mind, and he drove straight to the Yujing Hotel in the county to book a luxury room. Then he sent her the room number.
This time, Guo Mengyao was also slow to respond. Chen Feng didn’t care; he went ahead and took a shower, wearing only a towel as he sat quietly on the big bed.
He sat like that for almost an hour until he opened his eyes, picked up his phone, and saw that Guo Mengyao still hadn’t replied.
Just as he was wondering whether to message her again, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Chen Feng immediately walked toward the door. When he opened it, he saw Guo Mengyao standing there, dressed in professional attire.
"You..."
Chen Feng was about to speak, but she rudely pushed him into the room, pressing him right against the wall by the door, with a cold face giving him an unexpected kabedon.
Chen Feng came to his senses but seeing her cold face and unfriendly gaze, he thought it over and decided to let her do as she pleased.
More than an hour later, Guo Mengyao finally let go of Chen Feng.
"How do you feel? Any better?"
Chen Feng said as he reached out to touch her... but she swatted his hand away.
Chen Feng didn’t expect her to still be angry.
However, thinking about how he had treated her before, he could understand, so he was very tolerant of her current attitude and didn’t mind.
"I know I’m a bastard, but I’ve always been honest and sincere with you, haven’t I? From start to finish, I haven’t lied to you, let alone deceived your feelings. Besides, it’s not like I’m not interested in you. If I weren’t, we wouldn’t be in this situation now. Don’t you think?
And also... how should I put it, maybe I’m a bit afraid of marriage right now. After all, my first relationship, where I gave my all, ended in failure and heartache. It makes me a bit skeptical of love and marriage now. We share the same plight, and I hope you can understand."
Guo Mengyao swore directly, "Understand my ass! Save these words for fooling an eighteen-year-old girl. You just want to be friends with benefits, nothing more."
Chen Feng was left speechless. They’re both well past their youth, and she had been the one who initiated the friends-with-benefits relationship. In this regard, it was really uncertain who was at a loss. What responsibility did he have to bear?
"Alright. Let’s talk about the important stuff." Chen Feng wisely shifted the topic, "When do you think it would be convenient to meet your parents?"
This was indeed a serious matter. Guo Mengyao was exhausted from her parents pressuring her to date and marry. Hearing him, she quickly said, "If you’re ready, let’s meet tonight. They should both be free this evening."
"Okay." Chen Feng agreed without hesitation.
In fact, although Chen Feng had a lot of experience meeting parents, he was still a little worried. After all, her parents were locals, and if things went south, it could cause a big stir in his family.
After a moment of silence, Guo Mengyao ventured, "My parents are very anxious about my marital status. If they pressure you to marry, what do you plan to do?"
Chen Feng thought, what else could he do? Just play it cool.
"Well... just go with what we discussed earlier. We’ve both been through failed marriages, so we’re cautious about a second one. We plan to date a bit longer before making any decisions. We’ll stick to that story together."
Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, Guo Mengyao suddenly kicked his foot. It was clear she was angry.
Chen Feng took her kick. Although it wasn’t very hard, he was still somewhat annoyed. But looking up and seeing her white, shapely thigh, his anger dissipated, and he couldn’t help but reach out to touch her thigh...
Guo Mengyao tried to slap his hand away but failed. Chen Feng seized the opportunity to say, "Alright. Do you really want to marry me that much? Aren’t you afraid of repeating past mistakes? If we end up getting divorced again, neither of us would handle it well."
"I will not go through another divorce." Guo Mengyao declared firmly.
Chen Feng sighed, "That’s what you’re saying now. But who can guarantee the future? I vowed a lifetime of love with my ex-wife too. And what happened? We got divorced. As for your ex-husband..."
"Don’t bring him up!" Guo Mengyao interrupted him abruptly, saying frankly, "You know how I feel about you. I liked you since high school. Meeting you again last year brought back all those feelings, and the more time we spent together, the more I liked you. You are my irreplaceable choice now. It’s hard for me to develop feelings for another man. So, is it wrong for me to hope you could take responsibility?"
Chen Feng thought to himself: Of course it’s wrong. We’re just school friends and friends with benefits, right?
"It’s not about right or wrong, but a mismatch in how we perceive our relationship. I’ve always regarded you as a close friend, not someone I’d marry in the future. Clearly, you see it differently."
"Of course, I see it differently. I think I’m perfectly suitable for you. You’re rejecting me without hesitation; don’t you know it’s humiliating for me?"
"Alright, I get it. Haven’t I apologized to you before?" Chen Feng sighed as he continued, "It’s not that there’s something wrong with you; it’s about me. Just like Mengting, you know she also likes me and has always wanted to be my girlfriend. But in the end, I didn’t accept her and only regarded her as a sister. Honestly, do you think you’re at an advantage compared to Mengting?"
Mentioning Wu Mengting made Guo Mengyao feel somewhat disheartened, but she stubbornly said, "She may be younger than me, but she isn’t as wealthy as I am, and she’s several years younger than you, causing a generation gap. The emotional foundation I have with you is stronger."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Now I have some money, so I don’t care about the woman’s wealth. Plus, there’s no generation gap between me and her. As for emotional foundation, although I’ve known her for less than a year, we spend a lot of time together, even traveling nationwide and in Europe. The time I’ve spent with her far exceeds the time spent with you."
"So why didn’t you accept her?" Guo Mengyao asked, exasperated.
"Didn’t I already say it? Maybe I have a marriage phobia. I’m really afraid of starting a new relationship. I haven’t lied to you about it. I’m always very honest with you. So, if you can understand, please give me more time."
"I can give you time, but my parents won’t."
"You’re an adult now and financially independent. If you disagree when they pressure you, what can they do to you?"
"I... I just don’t want them to worry."
That’s just a story to fool ghosts. Chen Feng looked at her and said sincerely, "Show the same courage you had when you defiantly pledged your life with your ex-husband."
Guo Mengyao’s white leg kicked towards him again, this time with much more force.
