After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 998 - 530: A Heart Gone Wild (Part 2)
But Chen Feng really lacks confidence in achieving this, like she said, his heart is already wild.
"Sigh, it’s really hard for me to settle down now. Let’s not talk about others, just talk about Little Rui, I find it hard to leave her now. She probably doesn’t want to leave me either. If we’re in a relationship and you force me to break up with her, that would be very difficult."
Chen Feng was speaking from the heart, with the six-month period approaching, he didn’t want things to get too tense with Wu Mengting, and some things needed to be said, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Wu Mengting secretly gritted her teeth, but on the surface, she calmly said: "I’ll give you a year to slowly break off with Little Rui. As for other women, I hope you break off with them all before we officially become a couple, like Liu Ying, Lin Yujiao, Guo Mengyao, and that Jin Xinyan, and any other women I don’t know about."
Chen Feng, after pretending to be conflicted for a while, said: "I can only promise to slowly break it off with them, it’s not possible to end everything all at once."
Wu Mengting was a bit angry: "That’s not what you said when we agreed on six months."
Chen Feng sighed awkwardly and said: "That was then, this is now. I admit I underestimated the situation back then."
"You’re not keeping your word." Wu Mengting glared angrily at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng helplessly spread his hands: "I knew it would come to this. I’ve been troubled about this issue lately. Liu Ying, Lin Yujiao, and the others, it’s not possible to break off with them all at once, I can only promise you to do it as soon as I can."
"How long do you plan to take to break off with them? One year, two years, or five?" Wu Mengting stared coldly at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng once again feigned a conflicted expression for a while before saying: "I can only promise at least one a year. And I also promise not to get involved with any new women."
"One a year? You actually said that." Wu Mengting laughed angrily, "You know I’ve been very tolerant of you, but there’s always a limit. It’s impossible for me to allow you to continue being tangled with several women after I become your girlfriend and wife."
Chen Feng sighed, pretending to be depressed: "You know my health condition, although my condition seems to be improving, I’m not cured yet, and it could worsen anytime. So, if you want to bind me to one person and keep me from living the life I want, my mood will be very depressed and it might worsen my condition."
When mentioning Chen Feng’s illness, Wu Mengting immediately looked worried, her lips trembling as she said: "Are you trying to use this to threaten me?"
Chen Feng sighed again: "It’s not a threat, it’s a fact. You know my disease is terminal. I may look healthy now, but I could die anytime. So, if you want to monopolize me and completely cut me off from the other women, that’s a bit unrealistic. I really don’t want to do that. I don’t want to leave this world with regrets."
"Stop talking." Wu Mengting couldn’t bear to hear Chen Feng talk about his terminal illness and impending death.
No doubt, she loves him, otherwise, with her condition, what kind of man couldn’t she find?
So, when she knew Chen Feng had a terminal illness, she stayed by his side, determined to accompany him through the rest of his life.
Even though Chen Feng looked fine now, and his condition seemed to be improving, rationally speaking, his illness was indeed terminal, and with the current level of medicine, it was hard to cure.
But she never wanted to think about the worst, she only wanted to be optimistic, even selectively forgetting that Chen Feng was sick after his condition improved.
Now that Chen Feng brought it up, she couldn’t take it, not wanting to hear him talk about it anymore.
"I’m going to help in the kitchen."
After saying this, Wu Mengting got up quickly and fled to the kitchen, obviously avoiding the issue of Chen Feng’s terminal illness.
Watching Wu Mengting’s hurried back, Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh again, feeling somewhat guilty.
He mentioned his illness on purpose, hoping she would give him more tolerance, allowing him to continue his relationships with other women.
Ideally, even after she becomes his girlfriend, she would allow him to maintain the status quo with the other women.
This was somewhat despicable, but he had no choice. He didn’t want to break his promise, nor did he want to wrong himself, so this was the only way.
If Wu Mengting couldn’t accept it, it would be for the best, he didn’t want to fail her sincere feelings for him in the end.
After dinner, Wu Mengting accompanied Chen Xiaoxia to watch TV, while Chen Feng didn’t go out again, instead, he went upstairs to his room.
There were a few unread messages on his phone, from Tian Xiaoman, Jin Xinyan, Yang Wenqi, and Guo Mengyao.
Tian Xiaoman routinely sent beautiful selfies, and some other photos, like a bowl of noodles she cooked, or the scenery outside the window. Chen Feng would sometimes reply depending on his mood, but mostly he didn’t reply much.
This time was the same, Chen Feng, after glancing, didn’t reply.
Jin Xinyan asked if he was free tonight and if he wanted to stay at the Lakefront Villa again, as she was there tonight with Lin Yujiao.
The temptation was not small, but Chen Feng had just stayed there yesterday and had an in-depth friendly exchange with Tang Xinyi not long ago, so he thought it best to take a night for self-cultivation.
So, Chen Feng replied that he couldn’t make it tonight, maybe another day.
Jin Xinyan then sent him a photo of her and Lin Yujiao together, both wearing split cheongsams, standing on the second-floor balcony, clearly taken this afternoon.
They were already attractive, and with the cheongsam and beauty enhancement, their charm value was maxed out, their faces close together like a pair of beautiful twin lotuses.
Chen Feng couldn’t help smacking his lips and swallowing his saliva, but he ultimately held his ground.
Yang Wenqi, this enchantress, hadn’t messaged him in days and suddenly did, saying her birthday was the day after tomorrow and inviting him to celebrate with her.
Chen Feng ignored it and didn’t respond.
Lastly, Guo Mengyao, who hadn’t contacted him for several days, suddenly messaged, saying the company planned further expansion, building brand stores in some second and third-tier cities, so she wanted to bring in one or even several partners, or have her and Chen Feng jointly increase investment.
Currently, Mengyao Cosmetics only had her and Chen Feng as shareholders, and she had no objection to bringing in other partners.
However, Chen Feng was not keen on increasing investment.
So, Chen Feng directly conveyed his intent to her.
Guo Mengyao quickly sent him a video call invitation, which Chen Feng accepted.
In the video, Guo Mengyao wore silk pajamas, her hair in a bun, her face full of collagen, with great skin.
"You mean you’re okay with other people investing, right?"
"Yeah, I have no issues with others investing."
"How much stock are you willing to sell?"
Chen Feng said straightforwardly: "I can sell all my current shares, you have the priority to buy."
"You’re not joking, are you?" Guo Mengyao’s eyes widened in surprise.
"I’m not joking." Chen Feng replied seriously.
Guo Mengyao asked with a complex expression: "Do you not have confidence in our company’s expansion, or do you not want too much involvement with me?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "You’re overthinking. It’s mainly because I’m short on cash and want to expand my film company, so I want to transfer my shares in your company."
"Is that really it?" Guo Mengyao was somewhat skeptical.
"Really, I have no reason to lie to you."
After thinking for a while, Guo Mengyao said: "If you really plan to sell your shares, I don’t have enough cash to buy them all unless you accept my credit. I can help you reach out to other investors, and we can negotiate the price with all three parties."
"Alright, contact me once you find willing investors."
Chen Feng’s straightforwardness made Guo Mengyao uncomfortable, and she couldn’t help but remind him: "I need to remind you that our company’s market value is continuously rising, and if we proceed with further expansion, it will rise even more. I am confident that in the next three years, this Mengyao brand will become one of the top ten domestic cosmetic brands. By then, the market value may multiply several times over."
"I know, but I urgently need money now, so I can only part with it reluctantly."
"Alright, I’ll reach out to other investors. That’s it."
Seeing Chen Feng was not listening to persuasion, Guo Mengyao didn’t say more, her face somewhat unhappy as she directly hung up the call.
