After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 908 - 485: Formidable Rival in Love (Part 2)
Kang Cheng's smile stiffened slightly, and he immediately asked, "Where are you planning to go?"
Before Chen Feng could speak, Lin Wan answered first, "We're planning to go to Lakefront."
Kang Cheng quickly followed up, "That's perfect, we're also planning to go to Lakefront, enjoy the breeze, and see the night scenery. Why don't we go together? It'll be more lively with more people."
Lin Wan was about to agree, but Chen Feng refused first, "Forget it, maybe next time. We've already got five people on our side, which is plenty; any more, a big group just wouldn't be fun. Besides, you guys seem to want to go into the mall, right? Just stick to your original plan, no need to accommodate us. We're heading out."
After finishing, Chen Feng bypassed Kang Cheng, whose expression had visibly stiffened, and led the way toward Lakefront, with Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui following closely, then Lu Sijia.
Finally, Lin Wan hesitated a bit, suppressing the urge to actively add Kang Cheng on WeChat, simply smiling and waving at him, then followed the others.
"Brother, they've left. Let's go into the mall."
Huang Xiaolu reminded Kang Cheng, somewhat displeased.
In the situation just now, the three people on this side had clearly seen everything as bystanders. Kang Cheng tried to make connections with Lin Wan, or rather with the four women on the other side, only to be thwarted by Chen Feng.
This certainly left Huang Xiaolu a bit upset since she originally intended to introduce her friend Jin Xinyan to Kang Cheng.
Jin Xinyan's face showed even more displeasure. Initially, Chen Feng had spoken a few words to her, but after that, he didn't talk to her again until he left, which undoubtedly showed he was upset. Besides, there was Kang Cheng's behavior.
Earlier that afternoon, Kang Cheng had showered her with attention, being humorous, charming, and knowledgeable, clearly intending to pursue her. Although she wasn't smitten, it's difficult not to appreciate such an excellent man.
However, just now Kang Cheng seemed intent on making connections with Lin Wan and the others, making Jin Xinyan feel he was easily distracted by beauty, which was somewhat offensive.
Xu Zhangbao, who hadn't spoken all along, somewhat understood Kang Cheng's actions; earlier, Chen Feng's group with four women was indeed striking, especially Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, who were undeniably attractive even to him.
He wisely kept quiet in front of the formidable Jin Xinyan and Huang Xiaolu.
Originally, tonight he was just brought over by Huang Xiaolu to add to the numbers and stay quietly as a background figure.
Moreover, he personally didn't much care for Kang Cheng. Despite acknowledging Kang Cheng's excellence—whether in family background, education, capability, or appearance—purely outstanding, but a man so excellent who supposedly never dated anyone during years of studying abroad? Who would believe that?
Kang Cheng had said he hadn't dated abroad, only had one romance in college that ended when he graduated. Xu Zhangbao was completely skeptical of this.
Thus, Xu Zhangbao felt Kang Cheng was somewhat hypocritical, too pretentious.
"Xinyan, do you know those few people just now?"
Instead of immediately heading into the mall as Huang Xiaolu suggested, Kang Cheng naturally inquired to Jin Xinyan.
Jin Xinyan raised her brows slightly upon hearing, responding coolly, "Are you interested in meeting those four beauties?"
Without embarrassment, Kang Cheng laughed, candidly admitting, "A gentleman admires a beautiful lady after all. Two of them are extremely attractive, especially the one with the ponytail; surely she's not a friend's girlfriend, right?"
Jin Xinyan nodded, "Yes. The two most beautiful ones are Chen Feng's women; the three of them now live in one apartment together."
These words left the other three present utterly stunned.
Especially Huang Xiaolu and Xu Zhangbao, as they were quite aware Chen Feng was actually supposed to be Jin Xinyan's "boyfriend," even though they knew there were complexities involved, last time Chen Feng risked life and limb rescuing Jin Xinyan's boss from Europe.
That earned him respect from Jin Xinyan's friends, admiring his courage and boldness. Huang Xiaolu, who had previously disapproved of Chen Feng, began to accept he was Jin Xinyan's boyfriend.
Later, at a gathering, Jin Xinyan drunkenly confessed to them that she and Chen Feng weren't really a couple, but just friends with benefits. She had proactively approached him, yet emotionally, Chen Feng never fully accepted her, leaving her frustrated.
Knowing this, her friends naturally sympathized with her.
Huang Xiaolu, out of loyalty, actively arranged to introduce her excellent cousin Kang Cheng, trying to replace Chen Feng's place in Jin Xinyan's heart.
This led to tonight's outing, but unfortunately, their first arranged date coincidently encountered Chen Feng.
Huang Xiaolu initially realized one of the four women with Chen Feng should be involved with him.
Yet, unexpectedly, it was two! With Jin Xinyan, it'd be a total of three.
That's incredibly unfaithful! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"Xinyan, is this true? Chen Feng can't really be that rotten, can he?"
Furious, Huang Xiaolu felt sorry for Jin Xinyan, had her impression of Chen Feng change from saving Jin Yongnian, now to utterly deteriorating.
"Believe what you want."
After speaking, Jin Xinyan led the way into the mall.
"Xinyan, wait for me."
Huang Xiaolu hurriedly chased after her.
Leaving Kang Cheng and Xu Zhangbao the only two men, exchanging glances, both clearly saw deep envy and jealousy in each other's eyes.
Especially Xu Zhangbao, who knew Chen Feng also had involvement with Jin Xinyan, initiated by her.
Though Kang Cheng didn't know this, it was enough to incite envy and resentment toward Chen Feng.
Without doubt, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui were top-tier beauties, even having one would suffice for happiness; yet Chen Feng possessed two.
This indeed is quite the blessing!
Even Kang Cheng, who prided himself on being experienced in romantic pursuits, having encountered beauty across borders, felt a little defeated.
He admitted having many conquests over the years, yet the quality paled in comparison to Chen Feng.
His successful conquests were at best at Lin Wan's level, although even Lin Wan's caliber wasn't omnipresent. Successfully pursuing such women without financial persuasion wasn't easy.
If financial allure succeeded, then it equated to mere transactions and held no self-satisfaction or pride.
Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui evidently were virtuous women, unattainable through financial means alone.
This was an aspect Kang Cheng had to admire.
