Chapter 269: You Have to Trust My Character
Wu Mengting is quite good, she can be considered Chen Feng's ideal woman and wife candidate.
But asking him to give up the entire forest for her now, he couldn't do it.
"This is not just me talking nonsense. Otherwise, tell me, why do you think my health has improved now?"
Chen Feng threw the question to Wu Mengting.
She tried hard to think but couldn't come up with any specific reason, and it seemed that Chen Feng had a point. Many cancer patients die prematurely mainly because they don't have a good mentality and positive spirit, often scaring or worrying themselves to death.
In contrast, those who face their diagnosis positively and maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood, even if they don't miraculously recover, many live much longer.
These are examples you can definitely find.
Seeing she didn't answer, Chen Feng continued, "Look, you can't think of a specific reason either, right? As I see it, it's because my luck in love has increased, which has improved my mood. A good mood affects health, and the condition improves as a result. It's really that simple."
"Your reason is quite far-fetched. I'll give you a maximum of two months; otherwise, I'm really going to leave you. After all, I am flesh and blood with feelings. I can't watch you flirt and get intimate with other women. Sister Rui was already my biggest tolerance for you, yet you keep going on and on. What do you expect me to think?"
Chen Feng could only awkwardly explain, "Little Rui was with me before you, and besides, she has always been quite proper, and self-aware. Although we have some feelings, it's mainly a realistic business relationship. This type of relationship can be dissolved at any time, and she's well aware of that too. As for other women, do you see me living with any of them long-term?"
What Chen Feng said wasn't false. Except for the long-term cohabitation with Sun Xiaorui, other women were just vacation-style, just spending time together without any long-term cohabitation plans.
Moreover, Chen Feng had already decided not to develop a long-term relationship with other women, at most engaging in transient escapades.
So, in this matter, Chen Feng spoke with confidence.
"I don't care how you mess around now. I only ask that when you've had enough, you settle down and focus exclusively on me. If you can't do it, I'll... I'll be very disappointed in you, and we might not have a future. Then, I'll admit defeat and disappear from your life."
Chen Feng immediately pleaded again, "Then give me another year, okay? My intuition tells me that maybe a year later, I'll be cured, and only then will a completely healthy me be truly worthy of you."
Wu Mengting pondered for a long time without speaking.
When the car was about to reach Lakefront Villa, she finally said slowly, "Then let's decide the timeline based on your health condition, but it can't exceed six months at the longest. During these six months, if your condition keeps improving, I have no objections. If during these six months, your condition shows signs of worsening, you have to immediately and unconditionally sever ties with other women and dedicate your remaining time to me. Is that okay?"
Although Chen Feng felt that six months was a bit short, he also knew Wu Mengting wouldn't back down further.
So, he candidly agreed, "Alright then, six months it is. Maybe my condition will be healed within six months, not needing a year at all."
Wu Mengting said seriously, "Remember our agreement this time, six months, starting from today. You must follow through by then."
Although Chen Feng didn't want to make a commitment, things had reached this point, and he couldn't back out.
Such an excellent and beautiful woman being wholeheartedly devoted to you, even if you have some money now, there are plenty more wealthy people out there.
Moreover, Chen Feng felt she truly loved him, at least compared to other women, she wasn't as materialistic. He's not young anymore, if he wants to settle down, Wu Mengting is undoubtedly his most suitable choice at present.
Choosing her as his future partner was the result of a comprehensive comparison over a long period, very realistic and rational.
For Chen Feng, getting married or remarried is no longer a result of mutual emotional accumulation, but a rational consideration stemming from the social instincts of humans.
Among all the women he currently knows, Wu Mengting is undoubtedly his best choice for a future partner.
"Yes, I will definitely remember. Don't worry. Then, I will fulfill my promise and give you a satisfactory result."
In the end, Chen Feng gave himself a slight insurance, not locking his commitment too tightly. In those words, "a satisfactory result" doesn't necessarily mean being together with her, let alone marriage.
Wu Mengting wouldn't know Chen Feng's little thoughts, instead, she happily raised her phone and smiled, "You have to remember your words. I've recorded it. If you change your mind, I'll send this recording to your mom and let her decide for me."
Chen Feng, somewhat speechless, said, "If you don't trust me, do you really think a recording will be useful against me? If I were to change my mind, you'd still have no way to deal with me. So, ultimately, it depends on my character. You have to trust my character."
"Of course, I trust your character, but I trust evidence more." Wu Mengting lifted her phone again.
Chen Feng, a bit helpless, said, "Alright, as long as you're happy."
As they spoke, the car had already arrived at Lakefront Villa. After parking the car, they got out and went inside, seeing Guo Mengyao and her daughter playing in the yard.
"Where did you guys go? I sent messages on WeChat, and you didn't reply?"
Guo Mengyao asked Chen Feng with a hint of resentment.
"We went to the hospital." Wu Mengting truthfully replied, "My brother was feeling unwell, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up."
"Oh, what's wrong? Has the check-up result come out?" Guo Mengyao immediately asked, concerned.
Wu Mengting calmly replied, "He has high blood lipids, fatty liver, and slightly elevated blood sugar. So, he still needs to continue losing weight and exercising."
Her words aren't entirely false. During the previous examination, other issues emerged such as these, but the situation had significantly improved. At least during this check-up, there was no fatty liver detected, blood sugar was relatively normal, but there was a little high blood lipids.
"I see, you scared me, but there should be no major problems, right? Just pay attention to exercise and lose weight in the future."
"More or less. Mainly he needs to control his diet, like these days if he is accompanying you and eating out, don't order those high-fat, high-calorie foods."
Guo Mengyao immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll pay attention. Now, while there's still some time, why don't we take the sightseeing vehicle for a lap around the lake? Let's not walk."
