Chapter 628: Chapter 344 Special Circumstances_2
This made her feel like Chen Feng was having an affair with a mistress, cleaning up after the fact, and she was that mistress.
Chen Feng spent a few minutes wrapping things up before saying to Jin Xinyan, "It’s getting late; they’ll be back soon if we wait any longer."
Feeling like a mistress herself, Jin Xinyan couldn’t help but have mixed emotions, but she was a clever woman. Instead of throwing a tantrum at Chen Feng, she joked while smiling, "Otherwise, I’ll stay and meet them. After all, they already know about my relationship with you. I’ve met Sister Mengting; what’s your other woman’s name? I don’t know her yet."
Chen Feng naturally disagreed, shaking his head, "How can you meet them under these circumstances? I haven’t told them upfront that I brought you over. Besides, I had an agreement with them beforehand; I wouldn’t bring other women here. Furthermore, I won’t let another woman live here. It’s only due to special circumstances that I brought you this time. If you want to meet them, let’s wait for another opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xinyan very obediently nodded, "Alright. I’ll listen to you."
An obedient woman always gives a man a sense of achievement and satisfaction, especially one who is obedient and beautiful. Chen Feng was no exception.
"Then let’s go. I’ll escort you downstairs."
Jin Xinyan followed Chen Feng down the stairs, and then an earring with a diamond stud accidentally fell onto the floor. Before coming out of the bedroom, she noticed the small earring had fallen at the edge of the chair.
They both went downstairs, one after another, only to see Sister Xue busily working in the kitchen.
Sister Xue noticed them too. Initially, she intended to come over and greet Chen Feng, but upon seeing Jin Xinyan following behind him, her expression stiffened.
Hence, Sister Xue merely smiled at Chen Feng, refraining from greeting him, and went back to hiding in the kitchen.
She’s been a housekeeper for years, having come across similar situations before, pretending not to see it is the best course.
Seeing Sister Xue’s reaction, Jin Xinyan couldn’t help but smile faintly, finding it amusing.
She could tell at a glance that Sister Xue was a housekeeper, and barring any surprises, she felt that the housekeeper would ultimately inform Mengting and the others of her visit today.
Chen Feng didn’t care much about being seen by Sister Xue; he believed Sister Xue wouldn’t mention it to Sun and Wu because it’s Chen Feng who pays her salary, not Sun and Wu.
Moreover, Chen Feng was merely cohabiting with Sun and Wu; they weren’t even considered boyfriend and girlfriend. With this time of contact, Sister Xue must have figured it out long ago.
Therefore, even if she tells Sun and Wu what she saw today, it wouldn’t be a righteous act.
As long as she isn’t foolish, she wouldn’t spread rumors recklessly.
Watching Jin Xinyan’s car drive out of his villa gate, Chen Feng returned to his room, immediately falling asleep upon lying down.
When he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
He had slept for over five hours, indicative of serious jet lag.
After quickly washing up, hunger pangs hit him, prompting him to go downstairs to eat. On the table, he found a note from Wu Mengting, indicating several dishes were warming in the kitchen, which delighted Chen Feng.
After quickly finishing his meal, Chen Feng finally had the time to check unread messages on his phone.
Sun and Wu didn’t message him this time; however, Lin Yujiao sent a text, stating that her parents would return home in two days, allowing her to come to Xiu Zhou.
Chen Feng replied with an "ok."
Guo Mengyao also sent a message, grumbling about the blind date her parents arranged for her. She complained the date was a typical nouveau riche, wealthy yet uncouth, and older than her with children. She didn’t wish to become a stepmother.
Then, Guo Mengyao said she’s been forced by her parents to "confess," claiming she already has a romantic partner—Chen Feng—and that their long-distance relationship is challenging, so they don’t plan on remarrying anytime soon.
Finally, she mentioned her parents hope to meet with him soon. If Chen Feng doesn’t have time to return to Xiu Zhou, they intend to visit him in Xiu Zhou themselves in the coming days.
Seeing this message gave Chen Feng a headache; though he had met parents several times, so could be considered experienced, Guo Mengyao’s case was clearly different.
Firstly, they were high school classmates; if news spreads about him dating Guo Mengyao, it could spread through the alumni group, creating a fait accompli.
Secondly, both families reside in Lin Nan County. Her parents meeting his parents would be far too easy. They could even effortlessly find out where his family lives.
Chen Feng never intended to date Guo Mengyao, let alone marry her, which would definitely be quite troublesome.
Simply put, if a fait accompli of dating Guo Mengyao occurs, it would be difficult to break up, involve many loose ends, and possibly come at a high cost.
[Are you messing around? Doing this puts me in an awkward, difficult position.]
Chen Feng directly sent a voice message.
It took two or three minutes before Guo Mengyao replied with a text: [I thought you disappeared? Now you have time to reply to me?]
Chen Feng didn’t beat around the bush, sending another voice message: [You should tell your parents the truth; we aren’t actually dating.]
[You’re being excessive. We have a somewhat intimate relationship now, closer than mere friends or classmates. Can’t you help me handle my parents’ pressure to marry? Isn’t that so hard?]
[Of course it’s hard. Our families are in the same county; if your parents take it seriously, they’ll easily find out my family’s situation, maybe even directly meeting my parents. What then?]
[If that’s the case, then let’s simply become a couple. I think I’m more than suitable for you, right?]
[Who gave you such confidence??] Chen Feng retorted bluntly.
Guo Mengyao sent an angry face emoji, followed by a voice message: [Chen Feng, you’re being unreasonable. Aren’t I suitable for you?]
[It’s not about being suitable; it’s about us not being compatible.]
[How are we not compatible? We were classmates for three years in high school, know each other for several years, and have emotional foundations. I’m not bad looking, worth several million, and not old. Where am I unsuitable for you?]
[I said we’re not compatible.]
[Then tell me, where am I not suitable?]
[First, you’re a strong-willed woman, not my type, at least not my ideal wife candidate; second, you’re too driven as a woman, I don’t like someone pushing the limits in career; I want a wife focused on family, not a business partner. Third, I prefer gentle women whom I can protect and rely on, who won’t easily leave me, giving me a sense of security; whereas you handle everything yourself without needing anyone’s support.]
After sending this blunt message, Chen Feng didn’t receive a reply from her for a long time.
