After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 858 - 460: Heaven’s Favor (Part 2)

Chen Feng's subtle, Versailles-like hints made Tian Xiaoman feel a bit drained.

She had encountered many men before, but dealing with someone like Chen Feng, who played by his own rules and didn't take her seriously, was a first for her.

"Isn't having good romantic luck supposed to be a good thing? Especially for you men." Tian Xiaoman asked, her face slightly stiffening.

Chen Feng glanced at her sideways and smiled, "My romantic luck isn't just good; it's too good. Since my divorce last year, do you know how many times I've been overwhelmed by romantic interests? You definitely won't guess."

Tian Xiaoman played along, "Five or six times?"

Chen Feng shook his head slightly, "You're being too conservative. I didn't keep count, but it's definitely been over a dozen times combined. So, you should know I'm quite a player, never lacking the company of women, especially beautiful ones like you."

Of course, Tian Xiaoman understood Chen Feng's hint—he was trying to dissuade her. Even with her strong mentality, she couldn't help feeling a bit disheartened and fell silent.

After a good two or three minutes, Tian Xiaoman sighed softly, her expression somewhat desolate, "It seems, you really don't fancy me anymore. Initially, I had a pretty good impression of you, and I believe in fate. It's just unfortunate that we seem to be fated without destiny."

Chen Feng sighed too, "Indeed. Many people are fated without destiny. A beautiful teacher like you is very popular, never short of admirers. If it were before my marriage and divorce, someone like you would have been my ideal type for marriage.

Unfortunately, my views on life, love, and marriage have completely changed now. To put it simply, my values are a bit skewed now. I'm not suitable for serious relationships, let alone marriage or family. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to myself and others."

The cabin fell silent once more until they reached a traffic light. Chen Feng stopped the car, and Tian Xiaoman finally spoke again, "Even if we can't be a couple, can we be friends? I really have a good impression of you, otherwise I wouldn't have proactively let you add me on WeChat this afternoon."

"Of course. I have a good impression of you too; after all, you're a teacher and quite honest. But I have to warn you, I often don't reply to messages from friends on WeChat. If you need to reach me, feel free, but if not, I might not respond."

Chen Feng's "straightforward" words left Tian Xiaoman a bit stunned. She was, after all, a great beauty! How picky did Chen Feng have to be to say such things?

However, Chen Feng didn't offer any further explanation, as he felt it was better to be upfront to avoid her being upset if she didn't receive a reply to her messages, which might make him seem impolite.

But truthfully, his attitude towards her was mainly due to a lack of attraction.

Though Tian Xiaoman was reasonably pretty, Chen Feng knew several women who were more beautiful than her. So, her looks didn't quite captivate him.

It was only her identity as a teacher that added some appeal, enough to keep Chen Feng in touch. Otherwise, once they parted ways, Chen Feng might have just blocked her.

Next, the car cruised all the way to City South Street. At the street entrance, Chen Feng slowed down and asked her, "Where's your home? I'll drop you off."

"Oh, are we here?" Tian Xiaoman snapped out of it, glanced out the window, and quickly said, "Just drop me at the bus stop up ahead; I'll get off myself."

Chen Feng offered kindly, "It's so late; why don't I take you straight to your doorstep?"

"No need. My home is just up ahead, a few steps away. Besides, there are surveillance cameras everywhere here; it's very safe."

"Alright then."

Chen Feng didn't say anything more and parked the car near the bus stop.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. Maybe we'll meet again someday. I'm getting off." Tian Xiaoman gave Chen Feng a forced smile, opened the car door, and got out.

"Be careful. Send me a message when you get home."

It was almost midnight, and even with surveillance cameras everywhere, he was still worried she might encounter someone drunken or foolish in the deserted streets.

Indeed, women walking alone at night face certain risks.

Chen Feng felt a bit worried for her.

"Alright, I will. Goodbye."

Tian Xiaoman got out of the car, waved at Chen Feng, and without further hesitation, headed towards her home.

Chen Feng didn't drive off immediately but instead waited in place, watching Tian Xiaoman slowly walk away.

As it turned out, Tian Xiaoman continued along the street for over a hundred meters without any sign of reaching home.

Chen Feng grew concerned for her safety and started the car, following her at a slow pace, maintaining a distance of thirty or forty meters behind.

He didn't want Tian Xiaoman to notice, to avoid any misunderstanding.

After another hundred meters, Tian Xiaoman finally turned right, heading into an alley.

Seeing this, Chen Feng felt relieved and was about to turn the steering wheel to leave when he saw two seemingly drunk men, with their arms around each other and stumbling, quickly following into the same alley.

Seeing this sent a jolt through Chen Feng's heart, and he immediately floored the accelerator, speeding towards the alley.

In just a few seconds, the car screeched to a halt at the street side outside the alley, and Chen Feng quickly jumped out of the car and rushed inside.

The alley was a bit winding; after running in for over ten meters, there was a turn. After turning the corner, Chen Feng saw the two drunk men whistling at Tian Xiaoman, one of them slurring drunkenly, "Beautiful lady, let me... let me take you out for late-night snacks, abalone and bird's nest, order whatever you want..."

The other appeared more sober but was also shouting loudly, "Beautiful lady, give us a chance, we have money. If you come with us, I'll transfer you a thousand, no, two thousand right away, a promise is a promise."

Tian Xiaoman looked a bit tense as she quickened her pace, obviously ignoring the two drunk men.

"Beautiful lady, five thousand, I'll pay you five thousand to keep us... keep us company for a late-night snack."

The two drunk men, saying this, also quickened their pace, chasing after her.

Tian Xiaoman, hearing the commotion, hurriedly turned her head to look.

The streetlights here were somewhat bright, and the two had long since seen Tian Xiaoman's face. Now, seeing it closely, their eyes shone even more brightly.

"Beautiful lady..."

As one of them was about to rush forward and grab her, he was unexpectedly kicked hard in the back, letting out a scream as he fell forward, landing flat on his face in a humiliating sprawl.

The other turned in surprise, and before he could see who it was, he received a heavy punch to the nose, letting out a scream as he fell backward to the ground, completely dazed and bewildered, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
