Chapter 556: Chapter 556

Mrs. Shen, seeing her say this, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, "I knew you actually still have feelings for Cong Mo, Feng Xi. Hesitating and looking back can cause one to miss out on happiness. Ask yourself, can you really bear to see Cong Mo marry someone else again? If you can’t, then don’t miss out on him anymore. Hold on to him tightly, and don’t hurt his heart any longer. As an aunt, I’m not afraid to say something that might be hard for you to hear. People who don’t know when they are blessed can end up regretting it. Ye Ying wants so much to marry Cong Mo, yet she has been unable to, while you can have him easily but don’t wish to seize the moment. Dragging it out , even the most patient person has their limits. Maybe for three to five years Cong Mo can keep loving you and wait for you, but what about after five years? He’s just an ordinary man, after all."

"Auntie, I’ve taken in everything you said. I’ll think it over properly and give you and Cong Mo an answer as soon as possible."

"Good, now that you’ve said so, I’ve got some peace of mind."

After the two said their goodbyes, Long Fengxi got into the car and turned on the music inside.

Sitting quietly by herself, she reached into her bag, opened the zipper of an inner compartment, and took out a small photo. Updates are released by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

It was a very old photo.

It showed her and Shen Cong Mo in their first love together.

Staring at the photo, Long Fengxi looked at it for a long time before putting it away and driving off.

A lot of things, it seems, don’t need to be overthought.

She just needed to ask herself three questions.

First, does she love him?

The answer was definite.

Second, if he can’t wait any longer, truly gave up on her, married someone else, and had children with another woman, would she be upset?

The answer remained definite.

Third, would going back into a committed relationship with him mean that her life would be worse than it is now?

The answer was uncertain.

Maybe after going through so much, they would cherish each other more, or it could be worse than being single.

That was hard to say.

She only feared falling into that trap with him again, but wasn’t clear on how married life with him would be.

It’s just that being single felt significantly more free.

Having been in love with him twice, she truly grew weary of it.

If she were to skip past the dating stage and jump straight into marriage, it would require a lot of courage from her.

But then, the worst outcome would be just another parting of ways for the third time.

Long Fengxi arrived at Long Group, and this matter remained on her mind while she was dealing with work.

When it reached five o’clock, half an hour before leaving time, she took her bag and left the office.

After driving home, Long Fengxi changed out of her business suit, took a shower, then picked out a beige long dress from the wardrobe.

Sitting at the vanity, she did her eyebrows, applied makeup, chose a cherry red lipstick color, finished her makeup, and then glanced at the time; it was five-fifty.

She called Shen Cong Mo, asking, "Where are you?"

"At the hospital, working extra hours tonight, an old client made an appointment months ago, asking me personally to do a facial treatment for her, and I agreed."

"When will it be over?"

Shen Cong Mo felt surprised, sensing she had something to tell him, "Probably around eight or nine in the evening."

"Alright, let’s have dinner together when you’re finished. I’ll come to find you then."

"You..." Shen Cong Mo sensed something unusual, "You aren’t planning to say goodbye to me, are you?"
