After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 849 - 456: Strength That Turns You Away

Facing Yu Xiaohui's soul-searching question, Chen Feng nodded calmly and replied, "You guessed right."

Surprisingly, Yu Xiaohui didn't seem too angry with this answer; instead, she calmly asked, "With whom? Is it that high school female classmate of yours?"

"Not just her, there's another one."

Chen Feng really was being excessively honest.

This time, Yu Xiaohui couldn't help but get a little angry and said, with a hint of displeasure, "Can't you just not be so honest?"

Chen Feng had a sincere look on his face and said, "I'm not good at lying."

"I'm really impressed by you." Yu Xiaohui couldn't help but look up and sigh.

But she had already come to terms with it before, realizing it was impossible to remarry Chen Feng. The reason was simple: Chen Feng was not short of money. He wasn't the type to rely on someone financially or live off a woman.

Moreover, she now had two children, and even though Chen Feng was divorced, he didn't have children and was wealthy. How could he marry her and reorganize a family?

Even if he agreed, his family certainly wouldn't.

Besides, she wasn't confident that she could make Chen Feng fall head over heels in love with her.

So, she had thought it through. She just regarded Chen Feng as her old junior high school classmate, as a friend. If possible, she wouldn't mind having a deeper romantic relationship with him.

But that was all.

Meanwhile, Tian Xiaoman, in the back seat, naturally overheard this exchange. Honestly, although she was mentally prepared, it was still difficult to accept.

But when she thought of Chen Feng's fully-paid luxury car, the Xiu Zhou license plate, his handsome appearance, and his outstanding demeanor, she found it hard to let go.

Growing up, although she had met many men in good condition, basically, these men were either overly flirtatious playboys, obviously impossible for her to keep, or rich second-generation with looks and demeanor that were hard to describe, not presentable, or much older middle-aged, or so-called "phoenix men." The type of men she idealized, rich, handsome with distinguished demeanors, were indeed rare, and character-wise, many lacked both.

So far, only Chen Feng seemed to have the highest overall conditions. At least he had both money and looks, and regarding character, seeing how he was resistant to the affections from Yu Xiaohui, he really couldn't be considered a scoundrel. He was quite principled.

After all, by any measure, Yu Xiaohui was a beauty, with a natural mature and charming aura that was powerful to men.

Yet, Chen Feng seemed to be pushing her away, which wouldn't be the case with other men.

Chen Feng really didn't look like a true scoundrel in Tian Xiaoman's eyes.

Silence ensued in the car, with all three refraining from speaking.

Ultimately, Chen Feng couldn't hold back. While waiting at a red light at an intersection, he proactively asked Tian Xiaoman, "Teacher Tian, you and Qi Fulin are now at the same workplace, and he's also your superior. What will you do if he gives you a hard time in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaoman rolled her eyes and sighed, "That really can't be helped. I originally worked at Second Middle School, but then the boyfriend of a female colleague took a liking to me and wanted to pursue me, leading to his breakup with her. That colleague went crazy, and we had an unpleasant dispute at work. Even though I knew it wasn't my fault, I was afraid of her, so last year I applied for a transfer to work at Third Middle School. Now, I've encountered this new trouble.

Especially tonight's female colleague who invited me for seafood; at school, she had always been very caring toward me. Other female colleagues either distanced themselves or isolated me, while she often talked to me and occasionally helped me out. Who knew she would sell me out completely tonight? People's hearts are hard to fathom.

If I hadn't met you tonight, I might have been forced to drink excessively by her and Qi Fulin, leading to Qi taking advantage of me. So, you could say you're my lifesaver. Brother Chen, I'm very grateful to you. If possible, I'd like to invite you to dinner another day alone."

Despite Tian Xiaoman's lengthy explanation, she was mainly expressing her helplessness and gratitude and took the chance to invite Chen Feng.

Chen Feng, having been around, quickly detected the underlying tone in her words, a rather skillful art of temptation.

Since he became wealthy, he had encountered many such skilled temptresses. Tian Xiaoman was neither the first nor the last.

"No need to treat me to dinner. If there's a chance next time, just treat me to tea," Chen Feng said with a double entendre. He added, "I'm busy for the next two days. At the latest, I'll head back to Xiu Zhou the day after. Not sure when I'll be back next, maybe during National Day. Contact me then for tea."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Tian Xiaoman couldn't help but feel slightly disheartened. She had a formal job and couldn't make a long trip to Xiu Zhou.

Chen Feng was only in Lin Nan for two days, and she couldn't secure a date. How could she make further progress?

Would she have to win him over tonight? That wouldn't be easy at all.

Currently, Chen Feng still had his old classmate Yu Xiaohui beside him, and even Lou Xiaojiao. How could she, a newcomer who just met him today, have a suitable chance?

"Little Sister, I understand what you're thinking. As someone experienced, let me advise you to give up early."

As Tian Xiaoman remained silent, Yu Xiaohui suddenly said.

Tian Xiaoman, upon hearing, feigned ignorance and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Yu Xiaohui laughed, "Let me be frank then. Aren't you trying to woo Chen Feng? You think he's handsome, wealthy, and single—a diamond bachelor. I was really into him too, but as you saw, he didn't take any interest in me and didn't even bother to contact me recently, even though he knew I wasn't after his money, just him. And he still didn't want me. So, if you want both his money and him, do you think he'll accept you and let you succeed?"

When Tian Xiaoman heard this, she decided not to feign ignorance and said with squinted eyes, "I do have a good impression of Brother Chen, but I'm not after his money. If money was my goal, I'd have plenty of wealthy men to choose from. I believe that meeting Brother Chen twice today was arranged by fate, and that I and Brother Chen are destined.

Moreover, Brother Chen saved me earlier, making me feel favorable towards him. And Brother Chen is indeed a handsome man, which definitely moves me. Of course, the fact that Brother Chen is wealthy is also a bonus."

Upon hearing her words, Yu Xiaohui couldn't help but sneer in disdain, "Little Sister, do you even believe your own words? What twice accidental encounters? Speaking of fate and arrangements, I was his classmate for three years, and our desks were in front and behind for two—now that's fate and arrangement from above. Meeting him twice in a day doesn't really count.
