After my divorce, I started to have good luck

In a private room of a chain tea restaurant, not far from the Yujing Hotel.

Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao came here together after having dinner at the hotel, waiting for about half an hour, and then Mr. and Mrs. Guo arrived one after another.

Chen Feng had met Mr. Guo once before; he was a big bald guy, clearly one of those private business owners who mix in society, which he indeed was.

But Chen Feng was meeting Mrs. Guo for the first time. Her clothes were stylish, yet she couldn't help wearing a gold necklace, bracelet, and earrings. Wearing gold jewelry was typical for wealthy middle-aged women from their region.

In terms of appearance, Guo Mengyao resembled her mother more.

After greeting them, Chen Feng sat opposite them.

Mr. Guo took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and offered it to Chen Feng, who quickly waved his hand to refuse, indicating that he didn't smoke.

Mr. Guo smiled and nodded, then put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it, saying, "Not smoking is good. I also don't want to smoke, but have been doing it for decades, and it's hard to quit. No choice."

Mrs. Guo complained from the side, "You just keep smoking, smoking, smoking. Until it kills you."

Mr. Guo frowned and retorted, "Stop talking. Even if I smoke to death, it's none of your business."

They have been divorced for years, and meeting like this always results in such an atmosphere, it's quite unmatched.

"Dad, Mom, please each say a bit less." Guo Mengyao hurriedly intervened to stop them.

Only then did they both shut up simultaneously.

Mr. Guo took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled, then looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Your name is Chen Feng, right? We've met once before. Back then, were you already dating my daughter?"

Chen Feng immediately shook his head, "No, we weren't at that time."

"Oh, so when did you start?"

Chen Feng looked at Guo Mengyao, signaling her to answer. They hadn't coordinated their responses to this question previously.

However, Guo Mengyao clearly responded, "It started after my divorce. At that time, he happened to be over in Guang City, and some issues came up at my company. He helped me out, and naturally, we got together."

She made it sound quite like something significant.

"Then why did you tell me earlier that you weren't in a relationship? What's there to hide about your matters?"

Mr. Guo scrutinized Chen Feng.

Again, it was Guo Mengyao who spoke, "Mainly, we don't want to remarry too soon now; we fear being pushed by you elders."

Mrs. Guo chimed in, "You're both quite old, isn't it better to get married sooner?"

Guo Mengyao said, "We've both been divorced once. We don't want to repeat the same mistakes. So, for the second marriage, we have to be cautious."

Mr. Guo asked Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, is this your mindset too?"

Chen Feng nodded calmly, "Yes. Both our first marriages were quite unsuccessful. The partners in our first marriages were from love matches. Initially, I got along very well with my ex-wife, and it was the same for Mengyao, but as you know, things didn't end well. Therefore, until we're fully committed, we don't want to start a second marriage now."

Mr. Guo, upon hearing this, got a bit angry and said, "You're a man, postponing marriage doesn't matter. But my daughter is a woman and has a child. If she ages any further, it will be much harder to find a suitable man to marry. I want you to give me a definitive answer. Do you want to marry my daughter? When will you marry her?"

Mrs. Guo also agreed, "Yes. Since you are together now, while we aren't demanding you marry immediately, there must be some plan and timeline. You can't just drag this on indefinitely, Mengyao is thirty this year, if she doesn't marry soon, it will become even harder as she ages."

Although Chen Feng was mentally prepared for this, the urgency with which they started pressing about marriage caught him off guard.

Fortunately, Guo Mengyao was quite dependable, and took over the conversation, "Dad, Mom, this isn't Chen Feng's issue; it's primarily my issue. He wants to marry me, but I don't want to marry him yet."

"Why? Haven't you set your sights on him?" Mrs. Guo asked.

Guo Mengyao glanced at Chen Feng and said, "I do have my sights on him now. But if we marry, I think it'd still be too quick. I don't want to make the same mistakes."

Chen Feng supported her, saying, "I feel the same way. Although we are high school classmates, during high school we didn't really interact much, and after graduating, we hadn't seen each other for many years. It wasn't until late last year that we reunited after so long. We've only defined our relationship recently. Besides, we are in a long-distance relationship now; I'm mainly in Xiu Zhou, while she is here in Lin Nan, and this puts some pressure on our relationship. Let's take it slow, okay?"

"How long is slow?" Mr. Guo frowned and asked.

Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng exchanged glances, and she responded, "One to two years is probably needed."

Mr. and Mrs. Guo, upon hearing this, exchanged looks, and she said, "At most a year. It would be best if early next year you give us a definitive answer. Mengyao will be 31 next year. If you want to find someone suitable, it will only get more difficult. You can't afford to delay."

Mr. Guo squinted his eyes, smoking, and candidly said to Chen Feng, "If you just want to play around with my daughter, I suggest you break up with her sooner, otherwise you will just be harming her. I've heard Mengyao say you are still a major shareholder in your company, so you must have a good amount of money, probably don't lack women, right?"

Chen Feng awkwardly said, "Uncle, I can only say that we currently cherish each other. I really can't make any predictions about the future. Even if we got married now, I can't guarantee it will be forever; I don't dare to. When my first marriage began, I was equally confident, but it ended in a hasty divorce."

Mr. Guo waved his hand and said, "I'm not concerned about your past divorces. I only care about how you treat my daughter now, whether you treat her genuinely. As long as you're good to her and sincere, even if you don't want to marry her, I won't mind. I've been divorced too; I understand that marriage can't completely bind someone, especially men like us with some financial means. You know what I mean, right? My only standard is that you have to be good to my daughter, not let her be wronged. Can you do that?"

Being sternly stared at by Mr. Guo, Chen Feng found it somewhat uncomfortable.

Chen Feng had met quite a few parents before, but undoubtedly found Mr. Guo to be the toughest to handle. The man had a low educational level, was originally from a grassroots background, and rose from society's lower ranks to a respectable status today, giving him his unique confidence and approach.

Chen Feng really didn't want to make any promises to them, but being asked so directly, he couldn't refuse to answer.

So, Chen Feng didn't hesitate too much and directly nodded, saying, "I will definitely treat Mengyao well and try my best not to let her be unhappy."

"It's not trying, it's definite." Mr. Guo adamantly corrected, "If you can't be sincere with all your heart towards my daughter, can't promise to not let her be wronged, I advise you to leave her sooner."
