Chen Feng smiled and said, “That’s more like it. This is the feisty class beauty of our class back then.”
“Who’s feisty?” Liu Ying glared and asked back.
At this moment, she was both disappointed and a little angry and secretly happy, very contradictory.
Of course, she was disappointed that Chen Feng really had a woman by his side. She was angry that after seeing this old classmate Chen Feng again after so many years, after a conversation, when Chen Feng faced her, she could no longer see the kind of adoring light in his eyes that he had in university. She couldn’t even see the appreciation or desire that other men had in their eyes.
On the contrary, from Chen Feng’s eyes, she saw a kind of teasing and condescending look. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so direct with her, and it could be said that he didn’t care about her feelings at all.
What made her a little fortunate and secretly happy was that after she had also directly expressed her intention to date him, Chen Feng had also given a positive response.
It was just that his attitude was not proper and formal at all, which made her feel very embarrassed.
No matter what, she was also a beauty. Even though she had given birth and divorced, and was already thirty years old this year, she was still a recognized beauty.
But now, when Chen Feng faced her, this old classmate he had once pursued, he didn’t have the gentlemanly demeanor he should have. Especially the half-smiling expression he showed from time to time made her very guilty, feeling that her thoughts had been seen through by him.
This also made her a little angry and ashamed.
Of course, she was very sure that Chen Feng didn’t know that she already knew that he was very rich. This was what she cared about the most.
After all, her original plan was to let Chen Feng rekindle his old feelings and take the initiative to pursue her again. Then she would half-heartedly date him, then formally establish a relationship, and then of course, get engaged and married, and form a family.
Unfortunately, she had miscalculated from the beginning. After not seeing each other for seven or eight years, Chen Feng was no longer the same Chen Feng. His eyes no longer had the obsession and heat for her that he had back then.
“Alright, you’re not feisty, you’re very gentle.”
Facing the somewhat angry Liu Ying, Chen Feng was still very calm, looking at her with a smile on his lips.
Liu Ying was a little out of temper by Chen Feng’s attitude. If she really got angry, then her plan to catch a golden turtle son-in-law would very likely fall through.
“Chen Feng, you’re still so annoying.” Liu Ying pretended to be helpless and shook her head and sighed, “You yourself said that you’re not short of women, and you still want to date me. What do you take me for?”
Chen Feng said with a smile, “We’re so old, and you’ve lived abroad for so many years. I think you should be able to see through many things. We’re both single now, and as you said, we know each other’s background. Why not try dating? Maybe it’s very suitable.”
Liu Ying frowned and looked at him. If she didn’t know he was rich, she would have definitely turned her face and left. Why would she waste time with him?
“Then after you date me, can you break up with all your previous women?”
Liu Ying tried her best to use a negotiating tone so that she wouldn’t appear too strong. No man liked a strong woman. This was a lesson she had learned from her previous marriage.
She had thought that Chen Feng would definitely agree, at least verbally. In this way, she would also have a way out and would agree to date him.
But in the end, Chen Feng shook his head directly without any hesitation, “If I’m just in the dating stage with you, I definitely can’t let me break up with them, unless you become my official girlfriend.”
“Them?” Liu Ying gritted her teeth and asked, almost unable to resist the urge to splash the coffee in front of her on his face.
Chen Feng smiled calmly, “I can’t help it. My charm is too great. In Xiuzhou, I now have a god-sister and a live-in female companion. And in my hometown, Lushi, I also have a mistress.”
Liu Ying’s fingers clenched the coffee cup tightly, and she once again resisted the urge to splash coffee on him.
She really wanted to stand up with dignity and walk away without looking back, but she thought of her unfortunate first marriage, the nagging of her parents these days, the strange looks of her relatives and friends, the Versailles words of her aunt in front of her and her mother, and the day Chen Feng ran into the No. 8 villa in Red Villa Bay…
“Then you mean… when I’m dating you, I can also date other men?”
Although Liu Ying finally suppressed her anger and put away her pride, she still couldn’t help but say something sarcastic.
Who knew that Chen Feng seemed to be unaffected by her words and didn’t look angry at all. On the contrary, he nodded calmly and said, “Of course. We’re just starting to date, and we haven’t officially established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Of course, we can find more choices for ourselves.”
What he said… Liu Ying was convinced. But at the same time, she also sadly confirmed that Chen Feng, this old classmate who had pursued her bitterly back then, really had no old feelings for her anymore.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Ying asked, “Then at what stage of our dating will we be considered to have officially established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?”
“What do you think?” Chen Feng asked back with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Liu Ying said with a slightly cold face, “I understand.”
But Chen Feng shook his head, “You don’t understand. You probably think that as long as we go to bed, we’ve established a relationship. But for me, that’s far from enough.”
“You…”
Liu Ying couldn’t stand it anymore. She was so angry that she suddenly stood up from her seat, but in the end, she just said, “I’m going to the bathroom,” and then turned and left.
Watching her walk away in a hurry, a trace of mockery appeared on Chen Feng’s lips.
Under his intentional probing, he could be 70% or 80% sure that Liu Ying should know about his current net worth. Otherwise, even if they were old classmates, she couldn’t be so magnanimous in front of him and accept his verbal humiliation.
It was even more impossible for her to be so calm and not dare to get angry at him.
At the beginning, Chen Feng had thought that Liu Ying, this class beauty, still had feelings for him, this old classmate. But the reality was really a bit of a slap in the face. And Liu Ying thought that he couldn’t see her true thoughts. At the beginning, she was still trying hard to create a persona for herself, a persona that didn’t love money. But his probing made her even more eager to cover up.
The little tricks and schemes of a woman like her really made Chen Feng feel a little ridiculous.
About ten minutes later, he saw Liu Ying come back gracefully and sit down opposite him again.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Liu Ying smiled at him with some embarrassment.
“What’s there to be polite about? Come, let’s have a toast to our reunion.”
Chen Feng raised his coffee.
Seeing this, Liu Ying also smiled and raised her coffee, clinking it gently with his. Then they both took a sip and put down their coffee cups.
“I thought about it in the bathroom just now. If you can really accept that I’m dating other men while I’m dating you, then let’s try to start dating.”
Liu Ying said very calmly.
Chen Feng also asked very calmly, “Have you really thought it through? Maybe dating like this is very unfair to you.”
Liu Ying said very calmly, “I’ve thought it through. The most suitable person for me to date right now is you. After all, you liked me and pursued me back then. This is definitely not fake. And to be honest, I also had a good impression of you back then. If it weren’t for that villain Cao Jun’s meddling, we might have been a couple back then.”
“Maybe.” Chen Feng said with some emotion, “It’s a pity that time flies and never returns. What’s missed is missed after all.”
“So, I don’t want to miss it this time.” Liu Ying said with a determined look in her eyes. “I want to find someone who truly likes me, and whom I can also like and accept. Right now, you are the only suitable one.”
“Thank you, I’m very honored.” Chen Feng nodded at her with a hint of pride.
Liu Ying rolled her eyes at him, “Don’t be happy too early. If I meet someone more suitable in the future, before I have a formal relationship with you, I also have the right to dump you.”
“Alright, I’ll remember that.” Chen Feng nodded with a smile.
Then, Chen Feng changed the subject and chatted with her about some things in university, and talked about the recent situation of some old classmates in the class.
And so, time passed quickly. When the two of them finished their coffee, it was already more than an hour later.
So, the two of them came out of the coffee shop, then walked to the bank of the East Lake, and walked side by side along the lake shore, facing the evening breeze.
The two of them talked and laughed, and it really looked like it. Anyone who saw them would subconsciously think they were a couple.
After walking along the lake shore for more than ten minutes, Chen Feng naturally took her hand. She only struggled a few times, and then resignedly let him hold it.
Thinking of his freshman year, when he had pursued her but failed, and was even wronged and ridiculed by her, and now he finally held her hand, but it was already ten years later.
Time could indeed heal everything. At this moment, holding her hand, although it felt good, his heart was not very excited or turbulent.
He was no longer the ignorant boy he was back then!
After another ten minutes, the two of them sat down on a bench hand in hand. Chen Feng naturally put his hand on her shoulder, and then took her into his arms.
This time, she didn’t even struggle symbolically. On the contrary, she was very cooperative with his embrace, and even showed a very comfortable and enjoyable look…
It was almost 10:30 in the evening. First, Chen Feng received a call from Wu Mengting, asking him when he would be back.
Chen Feng said very frankly in front of Liu Ying, “I’m not going back to sleep tonight.”
“Then… you be careful.”
Wu Mengting originally wanted to ask him what he was doing outside, but in the end, she didn’t ask. One reason was that she had no right to ask him about not coming home at night. Another reason was that she didn’t want to provoke him, since he had a terminal illness.
“Is this woman the live-in female companion you mentioned before?” Liu Ying in his arms asked, pretending to be curious.
“No, she’s my god-sister, and she lives with me now.”
Chen Feng was very frank with her and had no intention of lying or hiding anything.
“God-sister, it seems she cares about you very much.”
After Liu Ying said this with a hint of jealousy, she didn’t say anything more. Because she knew very well that saying more would only arouse Chen Feng’s disgust.
Not long after, Liu Ying’s phone also rang. It was her mother, also asking her when she would be back.
Hearing this, Liu Ying looked up at Chen Feng, then gritted her teeth and said to her mother, “Mom, I’m having a gathering with a few good classmates tonight. There are a few female classmates together. We haven’t seen each other for several years. It might be very late. I might not be back tonight.”
Liu Ying’s mother inevitably nagged for a while, then told her to be careful and not to drink.
After she finally hung up the phone, she let out a long sigh of relief and took the opportunity to say to Chen Feng, “You heard it. My mother is really nagging. She has been constantly arranging blind dates for me these days. I’m really scared. So, I hope you can be my shield. Is that okay?”
Chen Feng shook his head slightly, “You want me to help you with just empty words, and even pretend to be your boyfriend? How is that possible?”
“Then what will it take for you to help?”
Chen Feng put his mouth to her ear and said softly, “You have to show some sincerity to motivate me, don’t you think?”
Liu Ying’s whole body suddenly went soft, and her face turned red. Although she was a woman who had given birth and divorced, she had never flirted with a man like this before.
It was very new and exciting!
The two of them sat on the bench by the lake until almost eleven o’clock. Then Chen Feng took her by the arm and stood up, walked to the side of the road, and hailed a taxi straight to the nearest hotel.
Yes, Chen Feng took her to an ordinary hotel, a double room, for more than two hundred a night.
It wasn’t that Chen Feng was stingy, but to cooperate with her acting, and at the same time to fulfill his dream of taking her to a hotel to open a room back then. Another reason was of course the distance.
The nearest hotel was this one. If he wanted to go to those high-end luxury hotels, the distance was a bit far. What’s more, it was already after eleven o’clock at night, and there might not be any vacant rooms.
And on Liu Ying’s side, to be honest, when Chen Feng took her to such an ordinary chain hotel, she was a little resistant in her heart. But in order to maintain her persona of not being vain and not caring about his lack of money, she could only endure it.
Chen Feng took her to the front desk and opened a double room very naturally, then took her into that room very naturally. After that, Chen Feng asked very naturally, “Do you want to wash first, or should I wash first, or should we wash together?”
Liu Ying blushed and said quickly, “You wash first.”
“Alright, I’ll wash first.” Chen Feng took off his clothes very simply and went into the bathroom wearing only his underwear.
The bathroom was not designed with frosted glass. When the door was closed, the outside could not be seen, which avoided embarrassment for both of them.
It only took Chen Feng a few minutes to finish. He came out wrapped in a bath towel. Liu Ying was staring at the TV… advertisement without blinking.
At this time, her mind was a mess, and she was in a state of conflict. She didn’t know how she had come to open a room with Chen Feng so confusedly. This progress was undoubtedly too fast. In her original plan, it would have taken at least ten days or half a month, but now it was only a few hours.
But in her heart, she was not very resistant to this. As she had said before, she had given birth and divorced, and she had already identified Chen Feng as a golden turtle son-in-law. What was there to be particular about?
But to be honest, this was the first time she had done such a thing with a man. She was really nervous and a little excited, and then her heart was a little contradictory.
She didn’t know if letting Chen Feng get his way so easily would make him look down on her.
But if she didn’t satisfy him, it was obvious that she might not even have a chance to enter the game. Chen Feng no longer had any old feelings for her.
It seemed that now she could only awaken his previous love for her by offering herself.
This method was a bit pathetic, but it was also the only way she could win now.
She had to fight a quick battle. After all, she was not young anymore.
