Feng Zhengyang was stunned by Chen Yu's "fallacies and heresies." After a long while, he said, trembling all over, "Chen Yu, don't make false accusations. I, Feng Zhengyang, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. How could I be as absurd and unruly as you!"

"So, you're saying that in your entire life, apart from Aunt Wu, you've never had feelings for any other woman, or had any relationship that went beyond friendship?" Chen Yu's words carried a hint of provocation. "Think carefully before you speak, and don't go against your conscience just to save face."

The Aunt Wu mentioned here is Feng Xinran's mother, but she passed away from illness more than ten years ago.

Feng Zhengyang was speechless for a moment after being choked by Chen Yu's words. His eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the right words.

The atmosphere inside the room froze again, and even the sound of breathing became unusually heavy.

"You...you're being completely unreasonable!" Feng Zhengyang finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "We're talking about your problem right now, don't drag me into this."

Chen Yu chuckled softly, a sly glint in his eyes: "Uncle Feng, you can't say that. We're discussing responsibility and feelings here. Since you can question me, you should also allow me to ask about your situation. That's fair."

Feng Zhengyang was enraged by Chen Yu's words, his face turning ashen. He breathed heavily, his eyes fixed on Chen Yu as if he wanted to devour him alive. However, faced with Chen Yu's seemingly relaxed yet subtly sharp response, he found himself unable to effectively refute him.

"Alright, Dad." Seeing this, Feng Xinran quickly stepped forward and gently tugged at Feng Zhengyang's sleeve. "Now that it's happened, you can't expect me to separate from Chen Yu, can you? Besides, the human crisis hasn't been resolved yet; this is precisely the time when we need to unite. We should focus our energy on how to jointly fight natural disasters and rebuild our homes, instead of getting entangled in these personal feelings."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhengyang's expression faltered slightly. He knew full well that his daughter's words were true. Under the extreme cold disaster, the survival of human civilization faced unprecedented challenges. Every capable person was a valuable resource and needed to be united to jointly address this crisis.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, his gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Yu and Feng Xinran.

Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice tinged with helplessness and resignation: "Fine, the child has grown up, I can't control him anymore!"

"However, Chen Yu, I warn you, if you dare to betray Xinran or break her trust, I, Feng Zhengyang, will never let you go. No matter how big your base is or how powerful you are, I will make you regret it!" Feng Zhengyang's words revealed determination and threat.

"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Feng, we've known each other for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Chen Yu laughed, finally relieved that things had calmed down.
