Chapter 1348: Chapter 700: Some Things Are Unfair (Part 2)

"Are you saying that on one hand, you want to date her and even get engaged, while on the other hand, you want to continue maintaining close relationships with me and several other women?"

"...You could understand it that way."

Despite the fact that it sounded a bit shameless, Chen Feng admitted it outright.

Sun Xiaorui remained silent for a while before she said, "What you’re doing is rather unfair to Mengting."

Chen Feng sighed helplessly and replied, "It’s something that can’t be helped. Since my divorce last year, I’ve wanted to enjoy life for a few years and not be tied down by marriage and relationships, but in the end, Mengting has pushed me step by step into this situation now.

If I don’t accept her, it would be rather heartless, but if I do accept her, then I’m letting down the other women, which is equally unfair to them and myself.

So now, this is the only way to handle it. At the very least, it gives me and you all some buffer time and break-up time.

Although it’s not a perfect solution, it’s the best course of action for now."

The two fell into silence again. Then Chen Feng asked, "Are you clean now?"

Sun Xiaorui’s face flushed slightly, and she softly hummed in agreement.

Without saying more, Chen Feng let his actions speak for themselves, as his other hand reached directly for her body.

Over an hour later, they lay together in each other’s arms once more.

"You should rest for a while, and then go back to the room across the hall," Sun Xiaorui said softly, still catching her breath.

"Okay."

Chen Feng did not refuse and agreed to do so.

The reason, of course, was to avoid being discovered by Wu Mengting the next morning.

After all, Wu Mengting is his girlfriend now. Although she tacitly allows Chen Feng to maintain intimate relationships with Sun Xiaorui and even other women, it wouldn’t be appropriate to openly engage in affection with Sun Xiaorui right under her nose like before.

Simply put, appearances need to be kept up, to give Wu Mengting the face she deserves as a girlfriend.

Chen Feng rested for a while and chatted a bit more with Sun Xiaorui, then quickly got out of bed and went back to the room across the hall.

Sun Xiaorui watched the door close again and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Although Chen Feng spoke as if he didn’t care about Wu Mengting’s feelings, the reality was clearly different.

He still cares about Wu Mengting.

Meanwhile, as Chen Feng opened the door to his bedroom, he unexpectedly saw Wu Mengting lying on his bed.

He was momentarily stunned before he closed the door and, pretending to be nonchalant, asked, "Why are you here?"

"I sent you texts on WeChat, you didn’t reply; I called you on video and you didn’t pick up. So I came over to check, and then realized you weren’t in your room. I waited here for you to come back."

Chen Feng hadn’t taken his phone with him to Sun Xiaorui’s room earlier. Hearing Wu Mengting say this, he wasn’t embarrassed and simply smiled as he asked, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I think it’s necessary for us to publicly announce our relationship. What do you think?"

Chen Feng couldn’t help but frown and say, "There’s no need for that. As long as we know and our close friends and family know, that’s enough."

Wu Mengting straightforwardly replied, "I believe your other women need to know too. Are you scared to do that?"

Hearing this, Chen Feng was somewhat dissatisfied and responded in a stern voice, "It’s pointless for you to push me like this. It makes you less adorable, less like the Wu Mengting I like."

Wu Mengting chuckled in annoyance, "So you mean, we should just stay quietly like this, none of your women knowing I’m now your girlfriend, so you can continue being close with them, right?"

Chen Feng remained unmoved and said seriously, "We’ve already agreed that you need to give me enough time to gradually break up with them."

"I did agree to give you enough time. But that has nothing to do with making our relationship public, right? Are you afraid they will break up with you if they find out you have an official girlfriend? If that’s the case, it means they’re not worth your time and effort."

Chen Feng replied in annoyance, "I’m worried that if we announce it, my other women might resent you, seeing it as a provocation and a challenge. They might use more extreme measures to compete with you. At that point, I might not be able to withstand their sneaky tactics, like Hong Xiaodan who got pregnant before marriage."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting frowned deeply. Chen Feng did have a point.

Although she wasn’t afraid of competing with them, she was concerned about their underhanded tactics.

What’s more, there are several of them. If they unite against her, despite her capabilities, it wouldn’t be wise to face them alone.

"Alright then, we won’t announce it in our friend circle for now. But I hope you can inform them one by one, let them know I’m now your girlfriend. You can at least do that, right?"

"Even if you didn’t say it, I would tell them. Then, I’ll also find ways to break up with them gradually."

"I hope you do what you say."

"You certainly aren’t adorable." Chen Feng shook his head, walked directly towards her, and started to rub her head, messing up her hair.

Wu Mengting immediately pushed his hand away and glared at him in annoyance.

"Weren’t you doing well in Rong City before? You turned back into that lovely girl I liked. But as soon as you returned to Xiu Zhou, you changed into someone I dislike."

Wu Mengting retorted angrily, "A kind person gets bullied. As soon as I showed you some affection, you didn’t take me seriously and went straight to Sun Xiaorui’s room to fool around."

Chen Feng finally understood the reason for her complaining and smiled bitterly, "I went to Little Rui with your permission, and besides, it’s normal for me to find her because of physical needs, isn’t it? You’re afraid of pain; I’d prefer coming to you otherwise."

"You should at least notify me first, right?" Wu Mengting said, feeling a bit wronged.

Chen Feng chuckled and said, "Do I really need to report this to you in advance and get your permission?"

"That’s not what I mean. But you should let me know beforehand, give me a heads up."

"Saying that doesn’t make sense. This is a private matter between me and her; why should I inform you first? You’re not our parent. Besides, wouldn’t you feel uneasy knowing beforehand? Sometimes ignorance is bliss."

Wu Mengting was suddenly speechless. Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui being together indeed didn’t require informing her, and knowing in advance truly made her unhappy, as it did tonight.

"Alright, next time I go to Little Rui, I’ll make sure to take my phone with me. Also, I’ll try not to stay the night at her place, but come back to my own room once we’re done, just like tonight. This shows that we fully respect you."

Chen Feng spoke confidently, leaving Wu Mengting, who was feeling trapped, unable to refute.

"Are you staying here to sleep with me, or going back to your room to sleep? It’s late."

When Chen Feng asked this, Wu Mengting simply pulled the blanket over herself in a slightly sulky manner and said, "I’m sleeping here tonight."

"Alright, then let’s sleep here. I feel comfortable holding you." Chen Feng said with a smile, got into bed, slipped under the blanket, and naturally reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Wu Mengting’s body went stiff suddenly, her heart racing.

But Chen Feng didn’t make any further moves, he just held her waist without doing anything else.

"Turn off the lights and let’s sleep." Chen Feng instructed.

Wu Mengting, in an instinctive reaction, hurriedly reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness, leaving only the sound of their breathing.

Chen Feng didn’t think too much, as it was nearly midnight; staying up any longer would be too late. Besides, he had just been active before, so he didn’t have much energy for anything else.

Holding a fragrant beauty in his arms was very comfortable, and helped him fall asleep.

And so, once the lights were out, Chen Feng quickly fell asleep.

Wu Mengting, however, found it not so easy to sleep. Although they had experienced intimate skin contact before, they hadn’t truly gone the full distance, nor had they ever slept together so closely until now.

Her thoughts ran wild, unable to calm her mind for a long time, let alone fall asleep.

Until quite a while later, when Chen Feng shifted his sleeping position and released his hold on her waist, thus breaking contact between their bodies, she finally drifted off into a sleepy haze.
