After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 846 - 454: Too Direct

Back in university, under the influence of a booze-loving roommate, she occasionally drank some beer in the dorm, which led to her developing a tolerance for alcohol, up to two or three bottles.

Otherwise, in a situation like today, she might have already been done for before reuniting with Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to Lou Xiaojiao's words, because he knew very well that Lou Xiaojiao was mainly speaking on behalf of Yu Xiaohui, which was completely understandable.

"What does it matter if we're fated? Do you still want to date me?"

As a seasoned veteran, Chen Feng wasn't fazed, and being in front of three old classmates, he certainly wouldn't be swayed by a younger person like Tian Xiaoman.

Moreover, interacting with Tian Xiaoman in this way could further dispel Yu Xiaohui's unrealistic fantasies about him.

"Yes, I do want to date you. I really believe in fate, and you just saved me. I think we can try dating."

Tian Xiaoman's blunt words and calm demeanor shocked Chen Feng's three old classmates, who couldn't help but marvel: Are the younger generation really this bold now?

Chen Feng remained relatively calm, as he had experienced this kind of situation with women not just once or twice, and he was fairly experienced.

"Didn't you hear my friend just now? I've been divorced, and I'm not lacking for women in my life, nor for women to date. If you date me, I won't make any promises. If we break up in the future, as a man, I won't lose out, but for a woman like you, it could be different. And I probably won't give you any breakup compensation, so you should be clear about that."

Tian Xiaoman nodded and said, "What you're saying is not a problem for me. Also, when I say I want to date you, I just mean trying out a relationship at first, with no intention of getting into anything intimate right away. After a period of dating, if we find we're not compatible, we can part ways peacefully without hurting anyone."

Hearing this, Chen Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Beauty, you're thinking too simply. I don't have time for a purely platonic relationship. If you really intend to date me, by the third date, we should be sleeping together, or else I'd think you're not right for me, and we'd just break up. If you can't do that, then let's not talk about romance. I'm not interested in playing any cat-and-mouse love games."

Such straightforward words from Chen Feng left Tian Xiaoman momentarily speechless.

Though she had some understanding of men, it was primarily based on theory and her life experiences over the years, mostly with male classmates and alumni, and only a few from the broader society.

The men she had encountered before, regardless of their private selves, always maintained a gentlemanly facade in public, and had never spoken to her in such a frank manner.

Chen Feng made her reassess her understanding of men, especially affluent older men.

"Chen Feng, you're going too far. Your words are too blunt and quite vulgar. You're a university graduate, how can you talk to women this directly? Especially in front of me and Xiao Hui," Lou Xiaojiao expressed her disdain and dissatisfaction.

Chen Feng replied in annoyance, "Ah Jiao, can't you stop messing things up? I know you're standing up for Xiao Hui, but she hasn't said anything herself. Why are you, a matchmaker, getting upset?"

If people said he spoke directly, Chen Feng might as well lay it all out plainly.

"Am I a matchmaker?" Lou Xiaojiao stopped in her tracks, pointed to herself, and was a bit angry, wanting to say more, but Yu Xiaohui held her back.

"Enough. Chen Feng is right; I haven't said anything, so you shouldn't be mad at him. You don't have to meddle in what's between him and me."

The others also stopped walking.

Once Yu Xiaohui spoke, everyone naturally heard the ambiguity between her and Chen Feng, which made Tian Xiaoman feel even more awkward.

But she was strong-willed and showed no hint of retreat, continuing to stay by Chen Feng's side, very close.

Since everything was already laid out, Chen Feng directly said again, "Xiao Hui, I'm a scumbag now, wanting to get close to beautiful women. In my current state, I'm obviously not suitable for you. So, even if we had some ambiguous relationship before, let's just go back to being old classmates and friends." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao angrily said, "Sure enough, you're a scumbag. When you were sleeping in the same bed with Xiao Hui, why didn't you say this? Now that a rich woman is chasing you, you want to kick Xiao Hui to the curb. Can you still be friends with her like this?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Feng angrily stared at Lou Xiaojiao and pointed at Yu Xiaohui, saying, "Ask Xiao Hui herself, that night when I was drunk, did I really do anything with her?"

That night, both of them drank too much and indeed nothing happened. The next morning, they almost had a moment, but nothing ended up happening. So it doesn't count.

Telling it like this, especially with an outsider like Tian Xiaoman present, Yu Xiaohui initially felt her face burning with embarrassment, but listening to such heartless words made her feel a chill inside, and her initially flushed face froze over.

"Yes! We didn't actually do anything that night, but everything else happened. You undressed me completely, you can't deny that, right? We were already like that, and you're telling me now nothing happened? If it weren't for those two consecutive phone calls back then, what do you think would have happened?"

Yu Xiaohui was so unashamed that she spilled everything out, catching Chen Feng off guard.

At this moment, Tian Xiaoman, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "I may not know much about Brother Chen's relationship with you, but I know you're both adults. If everyone is out having fun, there should be a mindset of not taking things too seriously. I think you guys had that mindset at the time, even if something did happen, so what? Does it mean Brother Chen has to take responsibility and marry you?"

Tian Xiaoman's words were quite powerful, rendering Yu Xiaohui speechless. Even Lou Xiaojiao couldn't retort. Back then, there was a class reunion, and then Chen Feng got drunk, and it was Lou Xiaojiao and Yu Xiaohui who opened the hotel room, unbeknownst to Chen Feng. Plus, at the time, Yu Xiaohui hadn't officially divorced yet, at most just playing around with Chen Feng, without any serious intent to hold Chen Feng responsible.

But over time, Yu Xiaohui became a widow, and Chen Feng's lack of concern for her over the years made her feel indignant. After all, they were just shy of formalizing their relationship. Chen Feng almost cutting off contact with her over such a long time seemed too heartless from her perspective.

"Alright. It's all my fault! My fault for not being able to hold back back then. Xiao Hui, I'm sorry!" Chen Feng apologized voluntarily to ease the tension.

Although he didn't care much about these so-called old classmates, Chen Feng still wanted to consider Yu Xiaohui's feelings as an old classmate, given their past ambiguous, youthful interactions.

Lou Xiaojiao scoffed, "What's the use of saying sorry now?"

Chen Feng ignored her and just looked at Yu Xiaohui, speaking sincerely, "You have every right to be mad at me. But I don't want to deceive you. Being classmates and friends is possible, but being lovers really isn't. I have no intention of starting a new relationship, let alone remarrying. So, if you have thoughts in that direction about me, you'd better drop those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible."

Yu Xiaohui stared at Chen Feng for seven or eight seconds before suddenly smiling, then she came up and hugged Chen Feng tightly with both hands around his waist, her head resting against his chest.

While everyone was surprised and Chen Feng was a bit dumbfounded, Yu Xiaohui released him, standing in front of him with her face slightly raised, eyes sparkling as she said, "Before becoming a widow, I did have some unrealistic ideas about you, wanting to rebuild a family with you. After all, we both got divorced. But when I became a widow and realized you were well-off, I knew I had no chance with you. I've resented you because since I came back from Xiu Zhou that time, you never contacted me. It really upset me. After all, with what happened between us, not only did you not comfort me when I suddenly became a widow, but you also didn't reply to the few messages I sent. Don't you think that's too much?"
