"Miss Meizi, my decision to return to Seijuku with you this time was made on the spot. I felt that I've been so focused on my own affairs lately that I've neglected you. You've been working for me in Seijuku without complaint, and if I didn't go to Seijuku to do something for you, I wouldn't be much of a man."
Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
"Chen Feng, it's good enough that you have this intention. The matter of upgrading Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology requires your personal attention; there's no need for you to waste time and energy on me."
Kayea Meizi said with sincerity.
A woman who loves an excellent man like Chen Feng should be prepared for loneliness.
In a sense, Chen Feng's inner world, the most important positions, were all occupied by noble ambitions in the political arena.
"Miss Meizi, I used to think that way. Handling major affairs in the political arena is more important than accompanying my woman. However, after seeing the tears and reluctance in your eyes just now, I suddenly realized that men don't need to dedicate all their energy to their careers. Taking out some time to accompany their women is the meaning of life. To only have public duties and no private life makes one merely a machine."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"Chen Feng, I never expected that beneath your public-spirited character, you also possess such tenderness. To be honest, I'm very happy. Kayea Meizi hasn't misjudged you."
Kayea Meizi said excitedly.
"Oh, right, Chen Feng, what surprise do you plan to give me this time for returning to Seijuku with me?"
Kayea Meizi pressed on.
"It's a secret."
Chen Feng smiled happily.
Kayea Meizi didn't press further.
Since the man she liked was going to give her a surprise, she would just wait and see.
In the afternoon, Chen Feng and Kayea Meizi took a chartered flight to Seijuku.
Chen Feng asked Kayea Meizi to wait for him at the Kayea villa first, stating that he would meet her in the evening after he finished his business.
Kayea Meizi agreed excitedly.
If she guessed correctly, Chen Feng must have gone to prepare a surprise for her.
It was either a diamond ring or a designer handbag.
Kayea Meizi, unable to contain her happiness, immediately told her parents.
Kayea Meizi's parents were skeptical.
The reason was simple.
First, Chen Feng had so many women around him; how could he possibly prepare surprises for every single one?
Second, even if he were preparing a surprise, it wouldn't take an entire afternoon. It was highly probable that Chen Feng had gone to see a geisha.
Wealthy men, whether Chinese or Seijukuan, all liked to patronize geishas.
"You don't mean it, Dad?"
Kayea Meizi asked with a lack of confidence.
"There's no need to doubt it. When men get rich, they go bad; this is an immutable truth."
Kayea Meizi's father said confidently.
He himself was a rich man and understood the mindset of wealthy men.
Even if his wife was gentle and beautiful, he still wanted to see geishas.
"Perhaps Chen Feng isn't an ordinary man?"
Kayea Meizi said with a glimmer of hope.
"Even if Chen Feng isn't an ordinary man, he's still a man at heart. As long as they are men, who doesn't want excitement and romance?"
Kayea Meizi's father said sternly.
"..."
Kayea Meizi didn't want to speak anymore.
She didn't know if Chen Feng could truly remain chaste.
Her father's words also made a lot of sense.
Chen Feng was a man at heart, and as long as he was a man, he would have primal urges.
"Meizi, listen to your father. Anyway, marrying a rich man, the outcome is the same – they'll have fun behind your back. It's better to marry a rich man from Seijuku; at least we are by your side."
Kayea Meizi's father advised her.
"Dad, please don't say anymore. My heart is in turmoil."
Kayea Meizi said painfully.
If Chen Feng went to see a geisha even though she was right there with him, she didn't know what she would do next.
"Sigh, I just don't know what else Chen Feng has besides his money that makes you love him to death."
Kayea Meizi's father said glumly.
Kayea Meizi didn't respond anymore.
No matter what Chen Feng did, facts would speak for themselves.
If Chen Feng really went to see a geisha, she would decide then.
Just as Kayea Meizi lay on the sofa, looking distressed, Chen Feng returned with a smile.
"Miss Meizi, you must have been waiting for a long time."
Chen Feng placed a stack of paper documents on the table.
Kayea Meizi's disappointment hit rock bottom.
There was no diamond ring box, no luxury brand box, just a pile of paper documents, indicating that Chen Feng hadn't gone to buy a gift at all.
Since he hadn't bought a gift, it meant Chen Feng must have really gone to see a geisha.
It seemed her father was right; there wasn't a man in the world who didn't like to play around with women!
"Meizi, you see? Didn't I tell you? Chen Feng, this man, really went to see a geisha."
"Uncle? What do you mean by that?"
Chen Feng was a bit confused, not knowing why Kayea Meizi's father suddenly accused him of seeing a geisha.
Undeniably, he had gone to see geishas in the past for the sake of networking.
However, that was done to maintain relationships in the political arena.
"It's as simple as it gets. You said you were going to prepare a surprise gift for Meizi. Look at the table; there's neither a diamond ring nor luxury goods. You must have been out messing around all afternoon. Chen Feng, don't think you're all that just because your business is doing well now. Let me tell you, the Kayea family is not short of money."
Kayea Meizi's father lectured Chen Feng.
"Uncle, you've misunderstood. I really went to prepare a surprise for Miss Meizi this afternoon."
Chen Feng quickly explained.
"Meizi, do you see? This is the man you love. He betrayed you, hurt you, and is still trying to辩解 to the end. Break up with this kind of man immediately."
Kayea Meizi's father shouted, feeling self-righteous.
Kayea Meizi didn't say a word, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She didn't care that Chen Feng had many women around him, as Chen Feng was an outstanding man.
Having only one woman was obviously unrealistic.
But the problem was that Chen Feng would rather go see a geisha than spend time with her, which was truly heartbreaking.
Seeing Kayea Meizi utterly heartbroken, Chen Feng stopped playing coy and directly took out a property deed from the stack of documents on the table.
"Meizi, look, this is the house I bought for you. Although your family is wealthy and doesn't lack houses, this is my token of affection for you."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"Chen Feng, you mean you spent the afternoon buying me a house?"
Kayea Meizi said, her tears turning into a smile.
"Yes, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to make you so sad. It's my fault."
Chen Feng said with self-reproach.
"Chen Feng, please don't say you're sorry. Actually, it's me who should apologize. You are my man, and I shouldn't have doubted you."
Kayea Meizi said with embarrassment.
Kayea Meizi's father, standing nearby, lost face.
He thought he could use Chen Feng's alleged dalliance with geishas to make his daughter break up with Chen Feng, but instead, Chen Feng hadn't gone astray but had bought his daughter a house, which made his daughter like Chen Feng even more.
No, he had to continue to obstruct.
"Meizi, don't be happy too soon. Perhaps Chen Feng intentionally bought a cheap house to make you happy. This kind of thing is very common among Chinese men."
Kayea Meizi's father said sarcastically.
"Dad, you're biased against Chen Feng."
Kayea Meizi immediately sided with Chen Feng.
"I'm not biased against Chen Feng. Didn't I say it? Chen Feng does have some abilities, talent in the political arena and business world. However, at the same time, he also has the biggest flaw of Chinese men: he doesn't pay enough attention to women and will muddle through if possible..."
Kayea Meizi's father continued to speak sarcastically.
