Chapter 327: Chapter 195: Seemingly Ruthless Yet Affectionate_2

Lin Yujiao was very direct again: [I’ll drive over first]

Immediately after, Lin Yujiao started the car and drove ahead.

Chen Feng was speechless but quickly started his car to follow.

With her being so proactive, Chen Feng, as a man, really had no reason to refuse.

Twenty minutes later, in the guest room of Yujing Hotel.

More than half an hour later, Chen Feng leaned against the headboard.

He glanced at Lin Yujiao, who had her eyes closed next to him, and seeing her smile, he asked, "What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing."

"I clearly saw you smile."

"Alright then. I smiled because I think fate is amazing. You were always the one taking the initiative before, but this time it was me. Are you not a bit unaccustomed to it?"

Chen Feng was initially a bit unaccustomed, since her enthusiasm even surpassed his.

"A bit. But it’s not bad." Chen Feng smiled, touched her face, then got out of bed.

"You’re leaving already?" Lin Yujiao’s smile faded, and she looked at him with a bit of disappointment as he got dressed.

"Yes. I had arranged to meet Mengting at the first highway service area, and now she’s probably waiting for me."

When Lin Yujiao heard Wu Mengting’s name, even though they were on good terms, she couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous and asked, "What’s going on between you and Mengting? I’m really curious why you wouldn’t want someone so young, beautiful, knowledgeable, and stylish."

Chen Feng glanced at her and replied, "Don’t ask about me and her, just mind your own business."

Feeling aggrieved by Chen Feng’s attitude, Lin Yujiao didn’t dare to say anything more and just frowned silently.

Seeing this, Chen Feng felt a bit guilty, kissed her on the face, and said with a smile, "I’ll be back in a month at most, and then we can meet again. Or, if you have time, you can visit me in Xiu Zhou. I’ll cover the plane tickets."

Lin Yujiao’s heart was moved. To be honest, she really did think about visiting Xiu Zhou. But it wasn’t the right time to say it directly, so she just told Chen Feng, "I know, let’s talk about it then."

Chen Feng nodded, continued dressing, and soon was ready.

"Alright, I’m leaving now. You can check out later."

This time the hotel booking was under Lin Yujiao’s ID, and she paid at first, though Chen Feng later sent her a red packet.

Lin Yujiao gave a soft "mm" and watched as Chen Feng left hurriedly without looking back.

Hearing the door slam shut, Lin Yujiao felt a wave of melancholy wash over her. Ever since she took Chen Feng to see her family, she found herself, a divorced woman who thought she could never be moved by a man again, often caught in sentimental thoughts, with her mood often fluctuating because of Chen Feng’s words.

Sigh! No matter how strong a woman is, once she’s in love, she becomes exceptionally fragile.

Therefore, it’s better for women not to fall in love too easily. But such matters are often not under their control.

...

Chen Feng had not planned for this encounter before his departure.

But since Lin Yujiao was so proactive, and since it had been a while since they spent the night together, and now they had to part, her reaction was quite normal.

After leaving the hotel and getting into his car, Chen Feng sent a voice message to Wu Mengting: [I’m stuck in traffic on the highway, I might be a bit late]

After speaking, he put down the phone, started the car, and hurried onto the highway. He was almost an hour late, and Wu Mengting was likely already waiting at the service area.

But in fact, Wu Mengting was still at home, being prevented from returning to Xiu Zhou by her parents.

After learning that Wu Mengting had quit her job to write full-time, they strongly disagreed with her going to Xiu Zhou, saying that since she was writing full-time, she might as well stay home. She wouldn’t have to do house chores or cook, and she could enjoy ready-made meals. Most importantly, they could live together as a family.

But Wu Mengting knew this was just an excuse. She had been very independent since childhood, attending full-time boarding schools during primary, middle, and high school, barely seeing them once a month, and at that time, they didn’t show much reluctance to part with their beloved daughter. They rarely visited her, and during college, even less so. Wu Mengting spent her winter and summer vacations interning and working to improve herself and only returned home for the New Year, and they didn’t oppose it or eagerly await her return.

Now they suddenly claimed reluctance, clearly making excuses. The real reason was to prevent her from further engaging with Chen Feng.

This only strengthened Wu Mengting’s rebellious spirit. Initially, she could calmly reason with her parents and expressed her intention to find a part-time job in Xiu Zhou.

But her parents repeatedly pleaded with her not to return to Xiu Zhou.

Finally, Wu Mengting grew tired of it, started packing her bags, and her mother came up to restrain her by the hand. Feeling very drained, Wu Mengting closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and loudly said, "Mom, I’ve grown up, I have my thoughts, my aspirations. I know you’re looking out for me, but you’re making me resent this. I’ll count to three, and if you stop me, I won’t come back to this house ever again."

"Tingting, what nonsense are you talking about? Is this how you talk to your mother?" Mr. Wu reprimanded.

Wu Mengting remained unmoved, starting the count: "1! 2!..."

"Fine, fine! I give up! I’m afraid of you! Afraid of you, my little tyrant!"

Eventually, Mrs. Wu relented, quickly letting go of her daughter. She knew her daughter’s temper well, and if she was determined, she would follow through. Moreover, they had only this one daughter, and they feared her not coming home.

In the end, Wu Mengting successfully left home, although nearly an hour behind schedule.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu sighed as they watched their daughter’s car drive away.

"What do we do now? She’s as stubborn as a mule, determined to the end," Mrs. Wu angrily and worriedly said.

Mr. Wu sighed, "We’ve spoiled our daughter."

"It’s all your fault," Mrs. Wu began to complain, "Talking about nurturing her self-reliance and independent living skills from an early age, sending her to boarding school since primary. Now, she’s totally self-reliant and independent, and doesn’t need us interfering in her life or love affairs."

Mr. Wu frowned, "What’s the point of saying this now? Back then, you didn’t want to take care of the child either."

"Was it only me who didn’t want to? You didn’t either. And your mother..."

"Why bring up my mother now? She’s been gone for so long." Mr. Wu said angrily, then expertly changed the subject, "Now we really have no choice. We can only start with Chen Feng to resolve this. I’ll go to Xiu Zhou tomorrow to talk to him."

"I’ll go too."

"Alright, we’ll go together."
