Although Chen Feng had already talked to Jin Xinyan about it on WeChat, and Jin Xinyan had relayed it to Mrs. Jin,

Mrs. Jin still wanted to know more.

Under her questioning, Chen Feng had to recount everything in detail.

After listening, Mrs. Jin clasped her hands together, saying with great feeling, "Guanyin Bodhisattva bless, this time you and your uncle were both very lucky, finally making it through safely without any danger."

Chen Feng quickly finished his meal, then got up to say goodbye, expressing that he was very tired and wanted to go back to sleep early.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jin quickly said, "Since you're so tired, why not just sleep here at our house, you can sleep in Xinyan's room."

Although everyone now knew Chen Feng and Jin Xinyan had a substantive relationship, letting Chen Feng sleep at their house was another matter. This meant they completely no longer considered Chen Feng an outsider.

For Chen Feng, this wasn't a good thing.

Insisting on his stance, Chen Feng finally managed to leave. Jin Xinyan drove him back.

After the car started, Jin Xinyan complained a bit, "My mom even offered you my room to sleep in, yet you're not happy about it."

Chen Feng, feeling somewhat annoyed at being subtly pressured into marriage by Mrs. Jin, sarcastically replied, "If I stayed, it would confirm our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, maybe even the son-in-law status in your family. Can I possibly stay?"

Hearing this, Jin Xinyan felt a pang in her heart and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really not want to become my boyfriend? Have you never thought about...developing further with me?"

Seeing her look so aggrieved, Chen Feng realized his words were too harsh. He sighed and said, "Sorry, we agreed from the beginning. I really don't want to date now, and I'm past the age for dating, let alone marriage. At least for the next two or three years, I won't be getting married."

"Alright, I got it." Jin Xinyan calmly said and focused on driving.

After that, they both stayed silent for the rest of the journey.

Chen Feng had no intention to comfort her. He never planned on developing a romantic or even lover relationship with Jin Xinyan.

This was a matter of principle; he would not back down or compromise.

On the way, Chen Feng responded to a few messages from women. Sun and Wu asked when he would be home, but this was more than an hour ago, and Chen Feng was already at the Jin family having dinner, so he hadn't seen the messages.

Their latest message said they were heading to work, and he should message them when he got home.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't rush to reply and decided to message them once he got home.

Lin Yujiao and Guo Mengyao had also sent him messages, neither knowing he had gone abroad this time.

Lin Yujiao mentioned that her parents were staying with her these days and kept asking about her relationship with him. Her mother constantly urged her to move to Xiu Zhou to be with him, worried that Chen Feng, this golden bachelor, might slip away.

Seeing this, Chen Feng realized Lin Yujiao herself had thoughts of coming to Xiu Zhou, just using her mother's suggestion as a probe.

Chen Feng could understand her probing; after all, they now met less and parted more, and she was in the prime of womanhood, quite satisfied with Chen Feng, and certainly felt some anguish from being apart.

Even though she didn't harbor unrealistic fantasies about Chen Feng, she hoped to spend more time with him now.

This is a natural thought for a qualified mistress.

However, Chen Feng wouldn't indulge her. He already had enough women in Xiu Zhou, and if Lin Yujiao also came, it would be unnecessary.

If Lin Yujiao couldn't bear this long-distance supported relationship, she could end it unilaterally. Chen Feng would respect her decision.

Of course, if Lin Yujiao insisted on coming to develop in Xiu Zhou, Chen Feng wouldn't stop her but wouldn't offer any support or help.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and replied: "If you want to come to Xiu Zhou for a visit, you can come anytime, just treat it as a holiday. Leave the shop's business to the employees; it should be fine for a few days."

Lin Yujiao quickly replied with a smiley face, then typed: "Once my parents leave, I'll come to Xiu Zhou to see you. Will you have time for me then?"

"You know my situation; generally, I should have time unless something unexpected happens."

"Alright, once my parents leave, I'll come over to see you."

Guo Mengyao's message talked about her parents as well, saying they were secretly teaming up lately, taking turns forcing her to go on blind dates, basically pushing her into marriage, which annoyed her greatly.

Seeing this message, Chen Feng wisely decided to act as if he didn't see it.

After reading these women's messages, just as he was about to put his phone away, a voice message came from his long-uncontacted mother.

Chen Feng quickly opened it to listen: "Ah Feng, in three days, your aunt is turning sixty and having a banquet. You should come by to wish her well. Also, bring Little Ting along."

Hearing this, Chen Feng really didn't want to go, but as his mother had spoken, and he hadn't been back to his old home for some time. More importantly, his mother was quite aware of his current situation, knowing he had started a film company and that he wasn't too busy as a boss, thanks to Wu Mengting, who kept in contact with her almost daily.

If it weren't for Wu Mengting being sensible and not saying unwanted things, Chen Feng would have a hard time dealing with his mother.

Thus, Chen Feng couldn't find a reason not to go back, so he reluctantly sent back an "Oh."

Then, his mother sent another voice message scolding him: "What do you mean 'oh'? You have so much free time, can't you come back to see your dad and me? Do you not want to be part of this family anymore?"

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly sent a voice message: "Got it, Mom. I'll be back the day after tomorrow. This time, I'll stay at home for a few more days, is that okay?"

"Who cares about you staying? But if you bring Little Ting, then it's fine no matter how long you stay, understand? You must bring Little Ting back. Otherwise, you'll definitely be talked about going alone to your aunt's birthday."

"Got it."

"Good, then I'll tell Little Ting myself later. Remember, when introducing her, say she's your girlfriend, it's fine to say fiancée too. In any case, I'm very satisfied with Little Ting as a daughter-in-law. You should get a move on. Try to settle your lifelong matters before this National Day."

Chen Feng suddenly felt a headache. Wu Mengting was great, but he wanted to enjoy his time more and didn't want to step into the marriage "grave" again so soon.

But since his mother had said so, he wisely kept silent.

As expected, when he stopped talking, his mother didn't say anything more, presumably going to talk to Wu Mengting.
