Chapter 342: Chapter 203 Giving Suggestions

"How did you come to know this little girl?"

On the way back, Wu Mengting finally couldn’t help but ask.

Earlier, Chen Feng only briefly mentioned that Qin Xiaorou was a little girl with a bad temper and a foul mouth but didn’t elaborate on how they met.

Chen Feng explained, "I met her shortly after my divorce at the arcade, kind of felt like fate. Later, I found out her mom was the boss of the company I used to work for. You’ve seen her — bad-mouthed and has a rebellious personality. It’s likely due to being from a single-parent family; her parents divorced years ago. Her dad remarried abroad, and her mom is focused on her career, neglecting her care and discipline, resulting in this. But, you know, she’s not bad at heart. Don’t take her too seriously."

Wu Mengting hurriedly said, "I don’t take her seriously. It’s just that with her kind of personality, like you, I’m really worried she’ll be isolated or even bullied when she goes abroad."

Chen Feng sighed, "That’s something out of our control; her personality is just like that. It’s impossible to change instantly; we can only wish her luck."

Hearing this, Wu Mengting didn’t say much more.

That night, Qin Zhen called and invited Chen Feng out for drinks. Chen Feng hadn’t planned on going, but hearing his low spirits, he decided to go.

When Chen Feng arrived at the place where they last gathered, two boxes of beer had already been brought over, and various skewers were laid out on the table. Qin Zhen was already drinking.

Chen Feng casually grabbed a meat skewer, took a bite, sat across him, and asked with a smile, "Don’t tell me you’re heartbroken."

Qin Zhen glared at him but didn’t say anything, just raised a can of beer and drank it down.

Chen Feng was stunned seeing him like this and asked, "No way. Are you really having an issue with Ning Wei?"

Qin Zhen threw away the empty beer can and sighed, "Actually, we’ve constantly been having issues, not just today. I originally planned to settle down with her since I’m not getting any younger. But we just can’t agree on things. Especially this time, after spending ten days together during New Year, everything was out of sync. She got mad and went back to Xiu Zhou ahead of time."

Upon hearing his complaints, Chen Feng naturally couldn’t immediately advise him to break up, he said instead, "You haven’t known each other for long, still in the adaptation period. It’s inevitable to have some bumps; I was like that back then."

Qin Zhen looked at him with a bitter smile, "But you ended up divorced."

That is true! This example was somewhat inappropriate.

Still, Chen Feng tried to explain, "Although my ex-wife and I eventually divorced, it wasn’t due to these daily little squabbles. We fell in love freely. Although we had minor conflicts early on, we still had feelings for each other, survived through mutual understanding and patience. Later, if it weren’t for... anyhow, I think if you still care for each other, don’t split up easily. It might not be better with another."

Qin Zhen nodded with a bitter smile, "We’ve been together for several months; of course, there are feelings involved. Especially from her side, I can’t argue; she’s been caring and considerate. She spends more than I do when we’re together."

"What about her makes you unsatisfied then?" Chen Feng aimed to be a good listener as a psychological counselor.

Qin Zhen, having no need to hide anything from his good buddy, said directly, "First, it’s her spending habits; she loves shopping. Her home has dozens of pairs of high heels, dozens of lipsticks, and bags, perfumes — all quite pricey.

Clothes are even worse; many cost a lot but get worn just once and then are discarded. She told me she’s barely able to manage with her monthly salary of nearly ten thousand, often needing money from her family. You see, if she spends like that, how can I support her on my salary of just a few thousand a month?"

Chen Feng pointed out, "But you don’t only earn a few thousand each month now."

On hearing this, Qin Zhen complained, "Yes, I earned quite a bit thanks to you this time, but I plan to use this money to buy a house. But when I mentioned it to her, guess what she said?"

"What did she say?" Chen Feng continued counseling.

Qin Zhen said discontentedly, "She actually wanted me to use the house money to buy a car, one of those sports cars over a million and mentioned she’s had her eye on a Porsche. I was so angry we had a big fight, then I came to drink with you."

Only then did Chen Feng understand. From Qin Zhen’s description, Ning Wei’s spending habits indeed differ greatly from his or most ordinary people. Ning Wei’s affluent family upbringing means she treats money lightly.

"From what you’re saying, Ning Wei has gone too far. How can house money be used to buy a car?"

Chen Feng commented on the matter.

Qin Zhen nodded and sighed, "So, I really can’t take it anymore. She treats me well, being considerate and kind, but our values seem completely different. I’m just a regular civil servant; my salary and bonuses are pretty fixed, barely over a hundred thousand a year despite working hard. Unless I resort to corruption, I can’t support her, but you know I won’t do anything illegal."

Chen Feng reasoning, "She has a good job herself; shouldn’t need you to support her, right?"

Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after thinking, "Even if she doesn’t need me to support her, with such disparity in spending habits, can we get along in life in the future?"

Chen Feng hearing this could only say, "So you’re thinking of breaking up with her?"

Qin Zhen didn’t respond right away, apparently still undecided.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn’t press further and continued eating and drinking.

After a good while, Qin Zhen spoke again, asking him, "Do you think I should break up with her?"

"What’s that nonsense?" Chen Feng glared at him, "These things are ultimately up to you. Even your parents can’t decide for you, let alone me."

Hearing this, Qin Zhen, this tall guy over six feet, could only keep drinking with a frowning face.

Watching him drink down a can of beer, Chen Feng sighed seeing his gloomy demeanor, "I can only say, you need to face your true feelings. Do you sincerely love her? Do you genuinely want to marry and spend a lifetime with her? If you haven’t decided, then wait and see. Don’t rush."

Qin Zhen wasn’t inexperienced in romance; he had plenty of dating experience, not technically needing Chen Feng’s advice.
