Chapter 405: Struggle

I was still worrying about Guo Wei's new house, but Aunt Wanru's phone call came in.

Outside the window, the sun is bright, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. In Hengyue City in late spring and early summer, everywhere is full of infinite vitality. We are lying on the bed, behind the drawn curtains, projecting strong sunlight. 【40

Naked, Huang Weiwei nestled against my chest like a little bird.

We woke up at the same time. The madness of last night made us feel that life was so beautiful. We were both like land in a long drought, encountering the sweet rain of life.

In the endless caresses and demands, our lives were sublimated once again.

Huang Weiwei's black hair cascaded over my chest like a waterfall. The soft, dark hair teased my nerves, making me surge like ocean waves time and time again.

She was not the first woman in my life, nor would she be the last. I was startled by this assertion. In my confusion, I had asked myself many times: could it be that I didn't love her enough?

Ever since I met her, her beauty, her empathy, and her courage had moved me and made me linger so many times!

When Huang Weiwei fell in love with me, I was still just a small secretary at the township government party office. At that time, I didn't have a cousin who was the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee, nor the bright political future I could see today.

They say women have eyes that can see through the world. Huang Weiwei's behavior made me marvel once again at how profound the conclusions of our predecessors were.

With Huang Weiwei, I could often view all problems with a calm heart. Because I had a foundation in my heart; no matter how my path went, there was always a woman who loved me deeply standing behind me.

Among the reasons that support a person to live on, love is paramount. Love can make one feel young again, and love can help one find a way out of a desperate situation. Love can make one infinitely wise, and love can also make one's every step difficult.

Caressing her naked body, I secretly swore that in this life, I must be worthy of the woman before me. No matter what position I hold, no matter poverty or wealth, no matter how great the temptations of the outside world are. For her, only deep love can bring peace to my soul.

Aunt Wanru's call came in just as I was deep in thought. She started by asking, "Xiao Feng, is what you said last night true?"

I paused for a moment and subconsciously said, "Of course it's true."

"I want to go see her," Aunt Wanru said, her voice hesitant.

"That wouldn't be good!" Remembering what she said last night, I immediately rejected Aunt Wanru's idea.

"If it really is Jiaxiao's, I won't be at peace if I don't go," Aunt Wanru insisted.

"It's nothing," I said. "Aunt, some things are easier if you don't keep them in your heart."

I was actually saying: Aunt, you have already broken up the lovebirds! Why must you stir up trouble at such a critical moment? The family of Secretary Chen is not something you can just do whatever you want with.

Everyone has dignity! If your son cannot marry their daughter, and he got her pregnant, and they haven't said anything, what is the purpose of visiting her now?

Parents in the world love their children deeply. Even if their children bring shame upon them and make them wish they were dead, the innate bloodline and the love that cannot be severed will make parents give selflessly.

Secretary Chen is also a mortal; he cannot help but love his daughter. Because of love, his daughter caused such a mess, and the pain in his heart is worse than death. It is impossible that Secretary Chen does not know the ins and outs of this matter; he is enduring it! His status and social position force him to chew this bitter fruit alone.

If this sudden idea of Aunt Wanru's is not handled well, it will surely be like a lit fuse, bound to detonate everything.

Although I spoke lightly, I was deeply uneasy inside. I was even somewhat disgusted by Aunt Wanru's proposal.

"I still want to go see her," Aunt Wanru didn't understand my good intentions at all.

I hesitated and struggled, not knowing how to answer.

Huang Weiwei moved her head from my chest and signaled for me to hang up the phone.

But I didn't dare! On the other end of the line was my Aunt Wanru; whether out of politeness or otherwise, I didn't dare hang up on her.

Seeing that I wouldn't hang up, Huang Weiwei glared at me fiercely and got out of bed.

I reached out to pull her back, but missed, so I got out of bed too. I made a noise, causing Aunt Wanru to ask suspiciously, "Xiao Feng, where are you?"

I stammered, "Aunt, I'm at home."

Aunt Wanru said "Oh" and added, "Give my regards to your mother."

I said "Mm" and asked, "Aunt, have you asked Jiaxiao?"

Aunt Wanru said without hesitation, "Of course. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't bother going. Let me tell you one more thing: your uncle found out about this and got furious. He scolded me to death."

I was startled. Given my cousin's explosive temper, if he knew the full extent of this, he would have the heart to kill.

"Also, Jiaxiao is on his way back," Aunt Wanru said lightly, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

I was even more shocked and asked loudly, "Aunt, what are you doing?"

Aunt Wanru sighed and said, "Xiao Feng, since the child is willing to come into this world, can we elders stuff him back into his mother's womb?"

"But..." I was frantic. I heard a sound in her tone. She wanted to bring her grandson back to the He family in a legitimate way.

And the only way to bring him back to the He family was for He Jiaxiao to marry Chen Meng.

But if such a play is performed, what about Guo Wei? And would Chen Meng agree?

"There are no 'buts.' Tell me the place, and I'll go myself." Aunt Wanru wouldn't let me argue. She clearly understood that I had been stalling her. She seemed a bit angry and said coldly, "Xiao Feng, do you not want them to be together?"

I hurriedly defended myself, "I don't."

"Then that's fine. Speak."

I was at a loss, clutching the receiver as if it were a bomb. Not speaking would bring disaster, and speaking would leave me in a dilemma.

Huang Weiwei came out of the bathroom, hugged me from behind, and murmured, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer."

I reached out to flick her nose and whispered in her ear, "Lazy cat!"

She giggled, snatched the phone from my hand, and said into it, "Aunt, Mengmeng is at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital."

I hurriedly reached out to grab it. Huang Weiwei threw the phone onto the bed and said with a smile, "Don't you want them to be together?"

I was speechless for a moment, and after a long time, I came to my senses and roared at her, "You don't know a damn thing."

Upon being roared at by me, the expression on Huang Weiwei's face turned livid instantly. She stared at me quietly, making me feel completely uncomfortable.

I put on a smiling face and said, "Wife, it's not that simple."

Huang Weiwei rolled her eyes at me and said, "Get lost! Who is your wife?"

I laughed sheepishly and reached out to hug her.

She slapped my hand away, put on her clothes, and said coldly, "I'm leaving."

I was anxious and hurried to stop her. Huang Weiwei kept a cold face and ignored my sheepish smiles.

I said with a grin, "Wife, why are you angry?"

Huang Weiwei said angrily, "Chen Feng, you are a hypocrite. Why can't you just see them together?"

I smiled bitterly, "Wife, some things aren't that simple."

Huang Weiwei laughed contemptuously, "Is it very complicated?"

I said seriously, "Everyone knows now that Guo Wei is Chen Meng's boyfriend."

"So what?"

"If Chen Meng suddenly marries He Jiaxiao, where will Secretary Chen's face be? What will Guo Wei think?"

"They were lovers to begin with. Guo Wei is the one who wants to cut in; can they be compared?"

"Others will say Chen Meng's private life is not serious. If Chen Meng's private life is not serious, who does it affect? Isn't it Secretary Chen? If the daughter of a Municipal Party Secretary has a dissolute private life, and it gets out, where will the reputation of Hengyue City be?"

Huang Weiwei was confused by my analysis, and after a long time, she said softly, "Only you would think so much."

"I have to think about it," I sighed. "Some things will always go against individual will."

"The problem is that Mengmeng doesn't love Guo Wei. Will she be happy living a lifetime with someone she doesn't love?" Huang Weiwei wanted to cry, and a flush of excitement appeared on her face.

"Feelings can be cultivated," I continued to argue.

"Nonsense!" Huang Weiwei finally cried out, "Why is Mengmeng's life so bitter?"

I patted her back to comfort her, "Wife, not everything in this world is perfect; there will always be ups and downs."

Huang Weiwei ignored my comfort and said stubbornly, "I don't care. Since your aunt has changed, you are still so stubborn. Chen Feng, I hate you."

I said with a smile, "Wife, let's not rush, take it slow, there will be a result. Let's just agree on one thing: we must make Mengmeng happy, okay?"

Huang Weiwei broke into a smile through her tears, "This is what you said, okay?"

I nodded seriously, "I said it. Don't worry."
