Chapter 59: Chapter 59 I Believe in DestinyFacing Lin Wan’s probing question like a third wheel, Wu Mengting appeared calm and simply smiled without rebuttal. However, Chen Feng couldn’t do the same, and immediately explained to Lin Wan, "No, that’s not it. The last time she visited my hometown, Lin Nan County, we just happened to meet, and then we spent two days together in Lin Nan. After that, we parted ways, and I just mentioned that if she visits Lin Nan at the end of the year, I would show her around again..." Chen Feng’s explanation clearly lacked convincing power, and Lin Wan directly interrupted and asked, "Then what about you taking her to your home for dinner? At the end of the year, a man taking a woman home to eat, and both being unmarried, don’t tell me, that it was just a courtesy." Chen Feng immediately nodded, stating factually, "Mengting insisted on having dinner at my place, and while it was during the New Year, it really was just a courtesy." "Do you think I’m an idiot?" Lin Wan glared at Chen Feng, dissatisfied, then turned to Wu Mengting and said, "Tiantian, I considered you a close sister, yet you hid everything from me. If you come clean now, we can still be good sisters. Otherwise, hmph, we might as well not be sisters anymore." Finally, Wu Mengting spoke up in her own defense, "I really didn’t hide much from you. Last time, didn’t I tell you about attending a classmate’s wedding? You know that. My classmate was from Chen Feng’s hometown, Lin Nan County. By chance, I met Brother Feng there and after the wedding, I conveniently toured the area, with Brother Feng acting as a guide. That’s all there is to it." "That’s impossible! There must be more to the story. You didn’t tell me." Clearly unconvinced, Lin Wan turned to Chen Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, you tell me." Chen Feng shook his head earnestly, "There really isn’t anything. Mengting and I are just friends, don’t misunderstand." "Heh, the more you act like this, the more it seems like there’s something fishy." Lin Wan, with a Sherlock Holmes-like demeanor, glanced at Wu Mengting, who was all smiles, and then at the serious Chen Feng. Of course, she couldn’t discern anything. However, she analyzed by herself, "I see you two took a liking to each other last time, didn’t you?" Chen Feng quickly denied, "Not at all." Wu Mengting, laughing, echoed, "Yeah, not at all, don’t overthink it." Her affirmation made it seem even more suspicious. Lin Wan immediately turned to Chen Feng, serious, and said, "Brother Feng, we all know Tiantian has feelings for you. Personally, I hope you can accept her. Just to be clear, if you’re thinking about accepting Tiantian, you must first break things off with Sun. Also, you shouldn’t be involved with other women afterward, especially not keeping a mistress. Can you do that?" Chen Feng was stunned by her words, and after she finished, he slowly shook his head and said, "We’re truly not what you think." After saying that, Chen Feng also spoke seriously, "Since you’ve made things clear, I’ll just tell the truth. I’ve only recently gotten divorced and I’m not considering starting a new relationship anytime soon, especially not with an innocent girl like Tiantian. So, I’d rather support a woman to meet my physical and living needs than to seriously pursue a relationship. I think it’s simpler. It won’t hurt anyone, and nobody can hurt me. Tiantian, we really aren’t suitable. I don’t know what you see in me, but I know I really can’t match up to you." Lin Wan froze, unable to say a word, feeling like she had made things worse, deeply regretting her actions. Meanwhile, Wu Mengting appeared very calm, and after Chen Feng had finished, she simply smiled and said, "I’ll act as if you’ve never said these words. Let’s keep things as they were. Also, in relationships, it’s not about being worthy or unworthy, it’s about liking or not liking. What matters most is if you like someone yourself." This time, it was Chen Feng’s turn to be stunned. He felt somewhat touched, yet more perplexed and helpless. The perplexity was the love luck forcibly thrust upon him by fate, and the helplessness was about what on earth made Wu Mengting like him? It truly made no sense. It’s important to know that her liking for him had begun since their last meeting in Lin Nan County. At that time, even his family didn’t know Chen Feng was wealthy, let alone Wu Mengting. Even knowing that the car beauty shop was owned by his family, it wasn’t enough to consider him wealthy. Even now, her interest in him shouldn’t have been about money. So, this was quite puzzling. Though he was fairly handsome, he was not more attractive than Daniel Wu. Moreover, what could she possibly find appealing about him now that he was almost thirty years old and weighed 170 pounds? "I’m really curious, what do you see in me?" Chen Feng finally couldn’t hold back and directly asked. This time Wu Mengting finally blushed, smiled, but didn’t answer Chen Feng’s question. Lin Wan, seeing she hadn’t messed things up, took a deep breath of relief and hurriedly spoke for Wu Mengting, "Brother Feng, you are a very outstanding man. Is there any doubt about that? It’s not about money—that’s not Tiantian’s standard, at least not the main one. There was once a billionaire who pursued her, and she didn’t even spare him a glance. So, what she really appreciates in you must be your personal character and other qualities. For example, you are sincerely genuine, obviously an upstanding person who wouldn’t lie. Additionally... additionally, you’re probably compassionate." Lin Wan found herself struggling to continue. From her perspective, the primary reason might as well be Chen Feng’s wealth, but she surely didn’t believe that was Wu Mengting’s reason. As for other aspects, the arguments were insufficient. Being somewhat handsome was one thing, but definitely not the main reason. So, what truly made Wu Mengting fond of Chen Feng and captivated her heart? Honestly, Lin Wan was very curious too. She quickly leaned close to Wu Mengting’s ear and whispered, "Tell me, what’s the reason?" Wu Mengting just gave her a displeased look and remained silent. Chen Feng and Lin Wan exchanged glances, both somewhat helpless. If Wu Mengting wouldn’t say, there was nothing they could do. And Chen Feng felt even more awkward and embarrassed; he really didn’t want to entangle endlessly with Wu Mengting. Perhaps noticing Chen Feng’s awkwardness, Wu Mengting took the initiative and said, "Brother Feng, don’t feel any psychological burden or pressure. Like I said earlier, we can continue as before; I won’t push you for anything. I just want to go with the flow and see how fate will take its course. I believe in destiny." Seeing a girl speak so openly, Chen Feng, as a man, had no reason to overthink it, and thus he smiled and nodded, "Alright. Let’s leave it up to fate." Chen Feng didn’t believe in fate, feeling that their so-called destiny was nothing but a cruel joke from the heavens. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such coincidences in the world. So now, he wanted to try his best to escape the control imposed on him by fate. At least, the romantic advances he didn’t want, he could refuse to accept. Chen Feng silently prayed for this to the heavens, though he wondered if his wishes would come true.
