Chapter 27 Don’t Misunderstand

Chen Feng was about to die, so of course he had no thoughts about the beautiful editor, Wu Mengting.

The reason he agreed to be her guide was simply because they knew each other and could be considered friends.

Also, he was a little tired of staying at home alone and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Of course, going out for fresh air alone was not as comfortable and pleasing to the eye as having a beautiful woman for company.

It was as simple as that.

But obviously, his brother and mother didn’t think so.

As for Wu Mengting, Chen Feng also believed that it was impossible for her to be interested in a middle-aged uncle like him. Asking him to be a guide was just a coincidence, as she happened to know Chen Feng, a local.

He set an alarm, took a half-hour nap at home, then got up, washed his face, and went online to check out some fun places in their Linnan County.

Although Chen Feng was a native of Linnan County, he was only familiar with the county town, his hometown of Qingpu Town, and the surrounding two or three towns. He had never been to the other towns in the county in his entire life.

The farthest town from their Qingpu Town was more than half an hour’s drive on the highway.

By the time Chen Feng had finished his research, he received a call from Wu Mengting.

He went to the hotel to meet her. They got into the car together, and Wu Mengting asked with great interest, “Where are we going to play next?”

Chen Feng asked back, “How many days do you have to play?”

Wu Mengting replied, “Two days. I have to go back the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

Only then did Chen Feng say, “Then I can only take you to a few classic scenic spots, since time is limited.”

“Okay, you arrange it.”

Wu Mengting seemed to trust Chen Feng very much.

Then, following the guide he had found online, Chen Feng first took her to the seaside, which was relatively close.

Although the weather was a bit cold in the golden autumn season, the autumn tiger was still a bit fierce under the sunny sun. Therefore, even with the sea breeze blowing on the beach, it didn’t feel very cold.

Chen Feng took her to ride a bicycle on the beach, take pictures, and build sandcastles. The two of them had a great time.

In the evening, Chen Feng found a seafood restaurant and treated her to seafood. This time, Wu Mengting still did not refuse Chen Feng’s offer to pay.

Chen Feng was rich now, so of course he didn’t care about these few hundred yuan.

Although he was her tour guide, Chen Feng knew in his heart that she was accompanying him on a good tour before he died.

Anyway, that’s what Chen Feng thought.

The next day, Chen Feng took her to another town with mountains and scenic spots, which was a bit far from Qingpu Town, more than twenty kilometers away. The two of them climbed mountains and saw waterfalls, and also had a very happy time.

They came down from the mountain after three o’clock in the afternoon and drove back to Qingpu. On the way through the county town, at her suggestion, Chen Feng went to the arcade and had a good time for more than an hour.

During this period, Chen Feng’s lucky buff seemed to still be there. When playing the claw machine, he could basically grab one doll with two game coins. Chen Feng grabbed three for her in one go, which made Wu Mengting clap her hands and cheer with surprise.

In the end, seeing that more and more people were watching, the two of them knew when to stop and left directly.

Then, on the way back to Qingpu, Chen Feng drove, and Wu Mengting sat in the passenger seat, holding three stuffed dolls with a smile on her face, not letting go.

“I had so much fun today! I haven’t been this happy in a long time. Thank you, Brother Feng.” Wu Mengting turned her face to look at Chen Feng who was driving, a smile still on her lips.

“Me too.”

Chen Feng smiled in response.

Then, the two of them suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little unnatural.

When the car arrived at Qingpu Town, Chen Feng suddenly said, “Why don’t we part here? We’ll see each other again when we have a chance to go back to Xiuzhou.”

Qingpu Town was located between the county town and the city. It was on the way to the city from the national highway here.

Wu Mengting was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, “I’m very tired from climbing the mountain today. I don’t want to drive.”

“Alright then. Then I’ll take you to the hotel in town to rest for a night. You can leave by yourself tomorrow. I won’t see you off,” Chen Feng said in a casual tone.

Wu Mengting was silent for a while, then suddenly said, “I want to go to your house for dinner, is that okay?”

Chen Feng was suddenly speechless.

He had previously thought that he had some misunderstanding or illusion, because when they were climbing the mountain today, he had inadvertently noticed that the way she looked at him was a bit strange, obviously the kind of look of love.

As someone who had been through it, Chen Feng had had a few relationships before and was no stranger to this kind of look from a woman.

When they got to the arcade, after Chen Feng had grabbed several dolls for her, the way she looked at him became even more strange, with admiration but more of a different kind of brilliance.

Chen Feng told himself in his heart that it might be an illusion, but he also subconsciously began to deliberately distance himself from her.

So, he had just said those words that sounded a bit unreasonable.

As a result, Wu Mengting directly proposed to go to his house, which almost confirmed it: she was interested in him.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh secretly in his heart. If he wasn’t about to die, and he met a pure and beautiful woman like Wu Mengting, only a fool would push her away.

But now, how could he develop a further relationship with her? Wasn’t this harming her?
The more a girl is interested in you and has feelings for you, the more you can’t harm her.

“Your request is too unexpected. My family is not prepared. How about next time?”

Chen Feng said in an obviously perfunctory way.

But Wu Mengting was not discouraged and pressed, “When is next time? When you come back for the New Year?”

Chen Feng suddenly had a headache and said with a wry smile, “If I take you home, it will definitely make my family misunderstand our relationship. My mom is urging me to find another one every day.”

Wu Mengting said nonchalantly, “It’s okay if they misunderstand.”

When Chen Feng heard this, he was at a loss for words. It was also his fault for not thinking too much before. Yesterday, when Wu Mengting asked him if he was married, he had casually said that he had just gotten divorced.

He thought that a woman like her would not be interested in a divorced man, not to mention the age difference between them.

But now it seemed that was not the case at all.

Chen Feng didn’t want to continue to be entangled with her. He had to cut the Gordian knot.

So, Chen Feng braced himself and said jokingly, “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for this uncle? I just got divorced.”

Wu Mengting’s delicate melon-seed face immediately turned red, and she stammered, “Of course… not, don’t misunderstand, I just… just think you’re not bad, of course, just as a friend…”

Seeing her stuttering, Chen Feng was speechless.

He thought to himself, what part of a middle-aged greasy man like me attracted a young and tender cabbage like her? This made no sense at all.

Could it be that she has an Electra complex?

“Alright, I know. Of course I won’t misunderstand. How about this, this time is too rushed. At the end of the year, when you come back for your vacation, come and play at my place again. I’ll take you home for dinner then.”

Now he could only use the delaying tactic. Anyway, he should be dead by then. Death ends all troubles.

“Then… then alright.”

After a moment of awkwardness, Wu Mengting finally agreed.
