After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1373: Chapter 713: A Man’s Original Intention

Zhou Qianru was clearly too trusting of love and men, yet she didn’t know that neither can withstand a test.

Love often crumbles in the face of money, and when men have money, it’s also difficult for them to keep their belts tight.

Though she’s in her thirties, she still has a girlish innocence, assuming too many things.

Her husband, despite always loving her, even agreeing to her no-kids request, doesn’t mean he can control his lower body.

Especially with her husband being so wealthy, his social circle, his friends, business partners, etc., how many are truly faithful to their wives?

So, anyone with common sense knows that for someone as rich as her husband who does business, how could he not play around with women?

Yet Zhou Qianru was naively believing her husband was always loyal to her, which clearly was childish.

Rich men, especially very wealthy ones, are generally like they’ve overdosed on Viagra, how could they not seek women?

Neither psychologically nor physiologically can they be satisfied with one woman; this is human nature, and rare exceptions exist from ancient times to now.

However, Chen Feng thought this but didn’t say it to Zhou Qianru, because he himself was such a man.

Moreover, no matter what, Ma Wenjiang had been her husband for many years, Chen Feng wouldn’t badmouth him to her face if he had any sense.

Once Zhou Qianru’s tears had soaked his collar, and she seemed almost done, Chen Feng reached out to gently stroke her back and comforted, "Things will be fine after you’ve cried. It’s not such a big deal. Realizing his true colors now isn’t too late."

It actually was a bit late; she’s already around thirty-seven or thirty-eight, soon to be forty, even though she’s pretty, has maintained a good figure, and is an associate professor at a university, a woman’s golden age has passed.

Even if she finds a good man to remarry, it might not be the one she truly desires.

Moreover, because of such a huge hurt and blow, it’s very likely she won’t marry again. Zhou Qianru sobbed, and her tears gradually stopped as she embarrassingly left Chen Feng’s embrace, sitting upright again, head lowered, using tissues to wipe away the tears on her eyes and face.

"I’m sorry for making you laugh at me." Zhou Qianru said with a bit of difficulty.

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I didn’t laugh at you. It’s common for women to encounter scoundrels; the more beautiful a woman, the greater the likelihood of meeting a scoundrel. It’s quite normal."

Zhou Qianru grabbed two more tissues and blew her nose in front of Chen Feng, truly not regarding him as an outsider.

After blowing her nose, she bitterly said with self-mockery, "I know I’ve been foolish; I should have found out earlier, but I often subconsciously fooled myself. His friends, including Sun Yanhong, were all having illicit relationships, but I believed he was different from his friends and could stay clean. Wasn’t that foolish?"

"It certainly was foolish." Chen Feng teasingly commented before quickly saying, "But it’s not your fault. You’re just too kind, too trusting of people, too trusting of him."

"Anyway, he’s ruined my entire life. Next, he’ll have to go to prison, and his reputation is in ruins. As his wife, I’m too ashamed to face anyone."

"His ruined reputation is his issue; as his wife, you’re also a victim. As long as it’s not public..."

Zhou Qianru interrupted him, sorrowfully saying, "Many people at my workplace know, including my students. I’m just too ashamed to go back there."

"Then take a break for a while."

"I’m planning to resign."

"That’s not necessary, is it? You’ve worked hard to become an associate professor; are you really going to give it up like this?"

"Actually, teaching isn’t something I personally enjoy; it’s just because my mom was a teacher, my dad hoped I’d become one, so I became a teacher. Personally, I prefer painting, not teaching others to paint, but painting myself. Additionally, I like photography and travel, enjoy writing little articles, and want to become a freelance writer."

Chen Feng listened to her and supported her, saying, "Since that’s the case, then resign."

At our age, the job isn’t necessary for survival, so there’s no need to continue enduring it.

In life, doing what you love brings happiness and fulfillment.

"Thank you." Zhou Qianru looked at Chen Feng with gratitude. Her earlier thoughts to resign hadn’t been supported by any of her friends or family, including her long-time good friend Sun Yanhong.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Being happy is the most important. If you’re unhappy doing something, why do it? It’s not like you’ll starve without the job."

Zhou Qianru shook her head and said, "It’s not unhappiness, just not much liking. Initially, it was mainly because my parents wanted me to be a teacher that I worked hard for it, and I got to be an associate professor, fulfilling their wishes. Later, after marriage, staying home bored, I kept doing the job. But now with this scandal, I can’t stay at my workplace any longer, so I’ll quit and do what I want."

Chen Feng nodded, "Yeah, that’s good, as long as you’re happy."

Seeing Chen Feng consistently agree with her, she couldn’t help but think of their past together, where Chen Feng acted the same way before her.

Zhou Qianru felt a lot in her heart and sincerely said, "After all these years of going around and meeting so many people, I didn’t expect to realize I didn’t have a true close friend, and when I needed comfort most, the only person I could turn to was you. I’m grateful you came."

"Enough." Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "No need for such formality with me. Although we’ve been apart for many years and only recently reunited, you should know our relationship is incomparable to others." freewёbnoνel.com

Though Chen Feng’s words were genuine, they made Zhou Qianru’s face blush with some embarrassment, giving him a playful white-eyed look.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng chuckled and said, "That’s the truth. Even after so many years apart, seeing you again feels close. So, if you don’t mind, you can treat me as your family, or half-family if you prefer."

These were Chen Feng’s heartfelt words.

Though the two had a close relationship initially by fate, as her first man, Chen Feng always remembered her; even years later upon reuniting, despite her being married to someone else, he’s willing to help her, not wanting her to suffer.

This was a man’s adherence to his original feelings; for a woman he likes, even if she becomes someone else’s and grows old, he still cares deeply.

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Zhou Qianru naturally felt touched, wanted to say thank you, but held back, knowing there’s no need for such formalities between them.
