Global Check-in System

Xi Mengwei left Lin Fei's embrace, poured another glass of red wine, and raised her glass to Lin Fei.    

She sat on the deck and gestured for Lin Fei to sit beside her, looking like a gentle young lady from a noble family. Her manners and postures were unique and elegant.    

Lin Fei nodded and took a seat beside her.    

This time, Xi Mengwei did not finish the wine in one gulp. Instead, she gracefully took a sip before putting the glass down.    

It was obvious that after venting her emotions, she had regained her usual calm.    

"Lin Fei, what do you think true happiness is?"    

Xi Mengwei took a deep breath and looked at Lin Fei seriously.    

"That depends on how you define happiness.    

"For a beggar, to hold a bowl of rice could be his moment of happiness!    

"For a fisherman, when he goes out to sea and returns with a full load, that might be his moment of happiness!    

"For a merchant, when he obtains his first fortune, that might be his moment of happiness!"    

"For an ordinary idler like me, being able to spend some time with a beauty like you is the moment of my true happiness!"    

Lin Fei had a slight smile on his face when he shared his true thoughts with her.    

"Mr Lin Fei, you really know how to make people happy!"    

Xi Mengwei barely squeezed out a smile.    

She looked sad. "My mother passed away when I was three years old, leaving me and my father in this world.    

"My father loved her with all his heart. From then on, he showered all of his love for her on me.    

"Father has always doted on me since I was young. He regarded me as a precious treasure. In order to not let me suffer any harm, he never married again. He raised me up by himself.    

"Father is an outstanding person. Although he has been busy with his career, he has never neglected me.    

"Whether it is from father's point of view or daughter's point of view, he's undoubtedly a competent and good father. He's a great father who is willing to give up everything for me.    

"All along, his care for me has been nothing short of meticulous. Every step of my life has been arranged by him in advance.    

"As I grew up, my father's business also expanded. Later on, he developed his company into one of the top listed companies in the entire Mo City. From then on, I became the daughter of a rich family that everyone admired.    

"Students, friends, relatives, almost everyone who knows me thinks that I am the happiest person in the world. They all envy me for living a carefree life. They envy me for having such a super-rich father.    

"But no one knows that this is not the life I want. Father has indeed taken care of me, but he has pre-planned almost everything in my life. He has raised me into a golden silk bird in a cage. Even I hate myself for being like this!    

"Although a lot of people say that I'm not content and should be happy instead, I just don't like this arranged fate. I don't like this life without any challenges.    

"However, I'm a sensible and obedient girl. Even though I don't agree with many of my father's actions in my heart, I have never resisted or disobeyed.    

"After all, my father has sacrificed too much for me, and he's my only family in this world. I don't want him to be sad or disappointed.    

"There wasn't any conflict in the beginning, even though I've always been going against my heart    

"But a year ago, Father arranged my marriage. From then on, the peace between us father and daughter broke!    

"That boy no doubt is outstanding. He's only 25 years old and has studied abroad. He was a top student in Harvard University's Economics and Management Department. When he returned to the country, he inherited his family's tens of billions listed company. He's definitely one of the finest men in the world.    

"Logically speaking, I should have been captivated by him. Such a person is the dream lover of almost all unmarried women.    

"Even my father thought so. He thinks that if I marry him, the rest of my life will be filled with happiness and bliss!    

"But unfortunately, I have no feelings for him at all. The first time we met, I even had some unexplainable aversion towards him. I don't know the reason myself, but I don't want to go against my heart.    

"I can listen to my father's arrangements for everything else, but I can't choose to back down or submit when my marriage is concerned. From then on, I started to rebel against my father.    

"As I've never resisted my father's arrangements since I was young, he thought that I was just throwing a tantrum. He believed that as time passed, some things would come naturally!    

"But unfortunately, my feelings grew stronger and stronger. In the end, I even quarreled with my father, causing our already sour relationship to worsen.    

"I thought that my strong resistance would let my father understand that he also needed to respect some of my inner thoughts and choices, but I didn't expect that he would be so stubborn in this matter that he was almost getting paranoid.    

"Just a few days ago, he actually made a private agreement with that man's family to hold an engagement party in public without my knowledge.    

"But fortunately, I discovered it in time and escaped in advance. It was also that night that I met you. The people chasing me were actually our family's bodyguards.    

"The engagement banquet was ruined by me. The man's family became a laughingstock in front of his friends, so they broke the engagement. My father was naturally angry and stopped speaking to me.    

"Hence, my relationship with my father has gone cold. Although my heart aches because he's my father, I was happy because I finally got my freedom.    

"But in reality, my feelings are very complicated. The current me is unable to recognize myself. I can't see my future..."    

When Xi Mengwei said this, she already had tears streaming down her face. She raised her head and took a sip of the red wine.    

Lin Fei kept quiet, feeling that any unnecessary words of comfort would appear meaningless at this moment.    

In fact, he had always yearned for the life of the wealthy. He had once thought and complained about why he was not a rich second generation.    

But now, it seemed that while the poor had the happiness of the poor, the rich also had the troubles of the rich.    

Xi Mengwei's words shook Lin Fei's heart greatly. It allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of the world of the wealthy and also redefine the definition of happiness in his mind.    

Although Lin Fei's heart was in a mess, his surface was still as calm as a serene lake. There was not the slightest ripple of emotion.    

Xi Mengwei forced a smile and looked at Lin Fei. "Lin Fei, I have told you so much about me. I think you should have guessed my identity by now. That's right. I'm the only daughter of Xi Beixiong, the chairman of the Baida Corporation in Mo City.    

"I am really sorry for treating you as a trash can and complaining so much to you. I hope you don't mind me talking too much!"    

"Why would I mind? Mengwei, since you can pour your heart to me, it signifies your trust in me. I'm very happy and honored that I can understand you!"    

Lin Fei sincerely looked at Xi Mengwei.    

"You actually feel honored? You're the only one who can make me happy!"    

Xi Mengwei said with a relieved smile. The way she looked at Lin Fei was obviously treating him as a dear friend. No, it was something more than a friend.    

"That's right. Countless young men dream of hearing the true inner thoughts of a beauty like you.    

"But they didn't have such good luck. I'm lucky to listen to your feelings. Tell me, isn't this a great honor?"    

Lin Fei stared at Xi Mengwei deeply.    

His sincerity touched the softest spot of Xi Mengwei's heart and made her completely lose her defense.    

The two of them drank another glass and lay on the deck, gazing at the sky together. They just silently stared at the blue sky and white clouds above the sea.    

Xi Mengwei rested her head on Lin Fei's arm. The sea breeze blew over and waved her beautiful long hair. At the same time, it also stirred her heartstrings.    

Xi Mengwei suddenly said, "Lin Fei, fate is so wonderful. Although I don't even know you that well, I think that I can't leave you now."
