Chapter 154: Chapter 115: Tears Collapse_2As she spoke, Wu Mengting’s tears flowed again. Chen Feng let out a soft sigh, stepped forward, and gently embraced her. Just as Wu Mengting felt a secret joy, she heard Chen Feng say, "You’re not stupid. You’re just a bit too young, too naive. And I’m perhaps too worldly-wise, and for you, a bit too old, really not suitable to be your boyfriend. I can be your good friend, or I can be your brother. Isn’t it better for us to interact freely as before? I’d really like to have a sister like you." "Sister?!" Wu Mengting uttered these two words with a trembling voice as her tears uncontrollably streamed down again. "Yes, sister. I’ve always wanted a little sister since I was young, but unfortunately, I don’t even have a cousin sister. Why don’t you be my sister and fulfill this childhood wish of mine?" "I don’t want to be your sister." Wu Mengting expressed her opposition very clearly. Chen Feng released her, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and gazed directly at her, speaking seriously, "Mengting, please agree. Consider it fulfilling a wish of mine before I die." "I don’t want to!" Wu Mengting stubbornly shook her head vehemently. "You’re really making me sad. What’s so bad about being my sister? I’ll still like you as before. Besides... being siblings is surely closer than just being ordinary friends, right?" "I don’t want to!" Wu Mengting shook her head again with determination. "Behave! Now I can only give you two options, either be siblings or just friends?" This was indeed instant karma. Yesterday, Wu Mengting made him choose between two options, and now Chen Feng was making her do the same. However, to be fair, Chen Feng really didn’t mean to retaliate. It was just that the conversation had reached this point, and the request naturally followed. "I choose neither. If I can’t be your girlfriend, I’d rather we become strangers." Wu Mengting seemed truly stubborn. Deep down, Chen Feng didn’t want to become strangers with her. After all, he liked her too. She was beautiful, gentle, and could cook his hometown dishes; Chen Feng had no reason not to like her. Chen Feng sighed softly, putting on a helpless expression, then enticingly said, "I really don’t want to be in a relationship with you now, but I admit I still have some feelings for you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to date you before. But yesterday, when you suddenly proposed breaking up, I realized that we might truly be unsuitable for each other. If things were to develop further, it wouldn’t matter for a grown man like me, but a delicate girl like you would suffer a great loss. So, I think we really shouldn’t continue to develop this further, let alone getting back together, which is even more unnecessary. It’s pretty nice to just take you as a sister for now. Of course, nobody knows what the future holds. If in the future, after spending a lot of time together, we really cannot restrain our feelings, it’s not impossible for non-blood-related siblings to become lovers. But for now, I really just want to be non-blood-related siblings with you. This is my goodwill towards you, and it’s also being responsible for you. You have to accept it, and you must accept it. Unless you have no place for me in your heart." After finishing these words, Chen Feng let go of her and took two steps back, saying, "Think about it yourself. I really don’t want to become strangers with you. I have to go out for a bit." Having said that, Chen Feng turned and walked towards the door. Wu Mengting watched with slightly red and swollen eyes as Chen Feng left, feeling an unspeakable bitterness in her heart. This time, she was too smart for her own good, thinking she could make Chen Feng stay loyal to her. Instead, it backfired, and her clever stratagem ended up outsmarting herself. Indeed, the saying that "too much cleverness leads to folly" proved true. Now, from lovers to siblings, it made her burst into tears once more. ····· Chen Feng left and drove straight to Red Villa Bay. Today, Xiao Ya happened to be off work and was at the villa. When Chen Feng arrived, she was sitting alone in the living room downstairs, watching TV and scrolling through her phone. As soon as Chen Feng came in through the door, she stood up from the sofa at once, looking at him with a complex expression. Chen Feng had already contacted her through WeChat before coming and had told her that his girlfriend had found out about him buying the villa here and planned to move in. So, the implication was clear: she had to move out. Having lived in this dream villa for less than a month, she was very reluctant and resentful to leave. But this wasn’t her house, and she wasn’t even a tenant here. Chen Feng, the landlord and financier, now wanted her to move out—what could she do? "I’ve already told you the situation. I’m sorry, but you’d best move out today. After all, you have the day off, and tomorrow you have to go to work and won’t have the time." Chen Feng didn’t beat around the bush with Xiao Ya, directly stating his purpose. "I’ve been planning to resign, I don’t want to go to work anymore. I already understand pretty much everything about the milk tea shop, including the specifics of its operation as well as some of the underlying rules, tricks, and schemes. I was going to tell you, but you haven’t been around these past couple of days. Now you suddenly want me to move out, I don’t even know where to go at such short notice." Xiao Ya wasn’t angry, after all, Chen Feng had hinted at this before, but the sense of injustice and unwillingness in her heart were indeed real. Chen Feng had made plans, saying directly, "You can temporarily stay at a hotel. I’ll pay for it. Just take these few days to find a place, you were a real estate agent before, you shouldn’t have trouble finding a rental, right?" "What about my luggage and stuff? Are they all going to be in the hotel?" "I have a place to store them. You can start packing now, and once you’re ready, I’ll call the moving company." "There’s no need for a moving company. I don’t have much, if you could help me, the two of us could get it done." "Okay, then I’ll help you pack." Chen Feng seemed eager to get her moved out, which hurt and angered Xiao Ya, but she could only endure. After all, Chen Feng was the financier, the one who was going to invest money in her milk tea shop. Xiao Ya didn’t have many belongings. What should be thrown away was discarded, and the slightly larger items were just a quilt, duvet cover, and pillows. Both had cars, so they worked together, and after a few trips back and forth, everything was loaded into their vehicles in less than an hour. "Okay, let’s go put your luggage away now." Chen Feng took Xiao Ya to store her luggage at the art store. Out of curiosity, Xiao Ya asked, "Whose store is this?" "Mine, but it’s not open now," Chen Feng didn’t hide the fact. Xiao Ya made an "Oh" sound and did not inquire further. With the luggage placed safely, Chen Feng took her to the same luxury suite in the hotel where he had stayed with Sun Xiaorui the day before, paying for five days of accommodation. Chen Feng was quite generous about this. However, the receptionist at the hotel gave Chen Feng a strange look, which made him uncomfortable. She probably recognized him, as he had just been there yesterday. Upon entering the hotel suite, Xiao Ya didn’t seem happy but rather downcast. "Brother Feng, are you planning... to let me go?" Xiao Ya asked with a dejected tone. Chen Feng looked at her beautiful face and figure, feeling a bit reluctant, but ultimately he steeled his heart and nodded, "My girlfriend has actually found out about us, so, I have to break up with you. I’m sorry. I will give you a hundred thousand yuan as compensation. Additionally, don’t worry about the milk tea shop investment. As long as you have a good business plan that I approve of, I will definitely invest in you. We can discuss how to distribute the shares later, and I will make sure you aren’t treated unfairly." Although she had anticipated this, the confirmation still caused Xiao Ya’s heart to twinge slightly. She managed to stabilize her emotions and kept the tears from falling. Seeing her distressed expression, Chen Feng of course didn’t want to stay any longer. "Since you’re planning to resign, finish your business plan as soon as possible, preferably by tomorrow. I might have to go on a trip the day after and don’t know when I will be back." Xiao Ya forced herself to be calm and nodded, "Alright. I’ve been working on the business plan; it should be done by tomorrow." "That shouldn’t be a problem then. Rest well and contact me if you need anything. I’ll be going." Xiao Ya nodded again and stood up. After Chen Feng said "You don’t need to see me out," he hurriedly left. As soon as the door slammed shut, Xiao Ya could no longer hold it in, covering her mouth and beginning to sob. She had thought Chen Feng could be her support in this city, even considering that he might become her boyfriend or even husband, having children together and living happily in a villa at Red Villa Bay. Now, it was all a dream, and her past aspirations seemed but a fantasy. Despite constantly telling herself to be strong and to rely on herself, she couldn’t help but cry.
