Chapter 105: Confession

After Lin Wan and Wu Mengting moved in, the main change they brought to Chen Feng was that the house became more lively.

Especially in the evenings, the three of them would sit in the living room on the first floor after dinner, watching TV and chatting.

Lin Wan’s mouth was basically never idle; she was either talking or eating.

Chen Feng didn’t find this annoying.

People often enjoy a lively atmosphere. The way things were now was quite good.

After the liveliness, they would return to their own rooms, and Chen Feng would return to his.

Each room had its own bathroom, so showering and using the toilet were done in their respective rooms, avoiding any unnecessary awkwardness.

Besides, Chen Feng could also go stay at the Red Villa Bay side.

For the first two days, Chen Feng lived with the two women at the East Lake villa. On the third night, after dinner, Chen Feng went to the Red Villa Bay side.

The next day at noon, when he returned to the East Lake villa for lunch, the two women looked at him strangely.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with that look? Is something wrong?”

Lin Wan asked bluntly, “You didn’t come back to sleep last night, right? Where did you go?”

Chen Feng nodded calmly, “That’s right, I didn’t come back to sleep. As for where I went, I don’t think I need to tell you, do I?”

“Did you go to a nightclub to find a prostitute?”

This woman, Lin Wan, was really… direct.

Chen Feng also nodded very directly, “Yes. I did. Two at once, even.”

“A threesome, huh. Tsk tsk.” Lin Wan had a look of contempt and disgust.

Wu Mengting’s expression was still relatively natural, but she obviously didn’t believe Chen Feng’s words. She said with a smile, “In the future, you should try not to spend the night outside. It’s not safe.”

“That’s right. Many of those women outside have diseases, like HIV. If you get infected, hehe, that would be interesting,” Lin Wan said with a mocking face.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but glare at her. “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll dock your pay or just fire you.”

“Alright, alright, I was wrong,” Lin Wan immediately begged for mercy. “Wasn’t I just looking out for you? How many of those women in entertainment venues are clean?”

“Enough. I didn’t go to any entertainment venues yesterday. In fact, I went to spend the night with another mistress I’m keeping.”

Chen Feng felt there was no need to hide the matter of Xiao Ya from them. He hadn’t mentioned it before because they hadn’t asked. Now that it had come up, he might as well say it.

Otherwise, for the next few days of living together, Chen Feng would still frequently go to Red Villa Bay, and he didn’t want them to misunderstand that he was going to see prostitutes.

As a rich, single nobleman like him now, did he even need to find prostitutes?
Of course, the main reason was that Chen Feng had a clear conscience; there was nothing he couldn’t tell others.

They already knew about him keeping Sun Xiaorui. Now, adding the fact that he was also keeping Xiao Ya, there was nothing he couldn’t say.

Chen Feng was just that kind of open and honest person.

This time, both women’s eyes widened in unison, looking at him in shock.

“For real? You said last time you were going to keep another one, and you really did?” Lin Wan’s expression was complicated, a mix of surprise, contempt, and some annoyance.

Wu Mengting’s expression was a bit lonely and sad. She looked at Chen Feng with a bitter smile, “Are you saying this just to deliberately anger me?”

Chen Feng gave a helpless smile, “Not really. I’m just telling the truth. I’ll be staying at her place in the coming days. It’s better than you two misunderstanding that I’m going to solicit prostitutes. I’m a decent person, I’ve never solicited a prostitute (successfully) in my life.”

Lin Wan said with an angry laugh, “You’re keeping two mistresses, and you’re still a decent person?”

“They are both my temporary girlfriends. I’m willing to give them some pocket money every month, which is not illegal. Besides, we are all unmarried, all single. It’s not against morality.”

“You’re just twisting words! You’re deliberately trying to anger Tiantian. Can’t you just properly try dating Tiantian? In what way is she not good enough for you?”

Lin Wan was very angry and directly laid the matter bare.

Hearing her words, Chen Feng didn’t know what to say for a moment. Wu Mengting, on the other hand, suddenly put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and ran upstairs with a clatter.

Lin Wan said angrily, “Really! You ruined a perfectly good dinner atmosphere. You men are really too much. A little bit of money and you’re in heat everywhere, looking for women everywhere.”

Chen Feng retorted unhappily, “Isn’t it you who ruined the atmosphere? Why did you have to force me to say it? And you even laid our matter bare.”

“I just don’t want Tiantian to be treated like a fool and a backup by you. If you don’t like her, then don’t hurt her, and stay away from her.”

Chen Feng thought to himself, I was clearly staying away, it was you guys who came to me.

But as a divorced man, Chen Feng knew very well that when arguing with a woman, no matter who wins or loses, the man always loses. There was no need to argue to win.

So, Chen Feng also stood up and said, “I’ll go up and see her, talk to her alone. You eat first.”

After saying that, Chen Feng also went upstairs.

Lin Wan watched him go up, couldn’t help but mutter “scumbag,” and then continued to eat with her head down.

---

The door to the two women’s room wasn’t locked. After knocking, Chen Feng opened it directly and walked in.

Wu Mengting was lying face down on the bed, her face buried in the quilt. Her tight jeans revealed the beautiful curve of her back.

However, after only a few seconds, perhaps sensing Chen Feng’s gaze, she immediately turned over and sat up on the bed. Her eyes were slightly red, with faint traces of tears.

Chen Feng sighed, stood in front of her, and said softly, “I’m sorry. I know I’ve disappointed you, but this is the kind of person I am. Also… there’s something else I have to confess to you.”

At this point, Chen Feng hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it.

Seeing his conflicted expression, Wu Mengting couldn’t help but ask, “What is it?”

Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh again. “Do you remember the first time we met?”

Wu Mengting immediately nodded, “Of course I remember.”

“I told you back then that I have a terminal illness. I saw that you didn’t believe me at the time, thinking I was joking. I’m telling you again now, I wasn’t joking about this. It’s true, I really have a terminal illness, late-stage brain tumor. The doctor said I probably only have a few months to live. If you don’t believe me, I’ll go get the diagnosis report for you right now.”

Without looking at the completely stunned Wu Mengting, Chen Feng turned and went to his own bedroom opposite, took out the diagnosis report from his last hospital visit, and handed it to her.

Wu Mengting subconsciously took it and then subconsciously started reading. Before long, she suddenly covered her mouth and started to cry bitterly.

“This is impossible! This isn’t real! You… you don’t look sick at all. You’re lying to me, right? This diagnosis report is fake, right?”

Wu Mengting looked up at Chen Feng, her face already covered in tears, her eyes filled with pain and despair.

She had originally firmly believed that she and Chen Feng would end up together, because it was a fate destined by heaven.

She had fantasized countless times about being with Chen Feng, about going back to their hometown to meet their parents, even about their wedding, about their future home, about their future children…
But now, Chen Feng had ruthlessly shattered all her beautiful fantasies with this diagnosis report.

Chen Feng hadn’t expected her to react so intensely after he told her the truth.

This little fellow villager, Wu Mengting, obviously had very deep feelings for him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be crying so uncontrollably without any regard for her image, her eyes filled with pain.

If he had known she would be like this, Chen Feng definitely wouldn’t have told her the truth so rashly.

But now that he had said it and even showed her the diagnosis report, it was too late for regrets.

“I’m sorry. I should have told you earlier, but I didn’t want you to look at me with strange eyes, to pity me.”

Like a child who had done something wrong, Chen Feng stood before her with a dejected look, his head lowered.

“I don’t care! This definitely isn’t real. You’re lying to me!”

Wu Mengting, emotionally agitated, grabbed the diagnosis report with both hands and tore it to shreds in a few motions.

Then, she suddenly stood up and, without any hesitation, threw herself into Chen Feng’s arms, hugging him tightly, her tear-stained face pressed against his chest.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but raise his hands, not knowing where to put them.

“Brother Feng, I don’t care if what you said is true or false, I’ve decided on you. You can’t reject me.”

Wu Mengting’s tone was slow and firm.

It would be a lie to say Chen Feng wasn’t moved. What had he done to deserve such affection from her?

If he didn’t have a terminal illness, how could he possibly reject her?

“I…”

“Don’t say it.” Wu Mengting suddenly interrupted him forcefully, raised her face to look at him, and said word by word, “I want to officially date you. At the end of the year, we’ll go back to our hometown to meet our parents. You can only agree, you can’t object.”

Chen Feng sighed for the third time, filled with emotion but more so with helplessness. “Mengting, I don’t want to ruin you.”

“How do you know you’re ruining me?” Wu Mengting’s eyes suddenly turned gentle, and her tone became gentle as well. “In my opinion, if I miss you in this life, if you don’t accept me, that’s what will ruin me. It will make me feel regret for the rest of my life.”

“You might be imagining me to be too good. A man like me doesn’t actually have many good qualities, otherwise my ex-wife wouldn’t have divorced me. Now I even have a terminal illness. Even if I have some money, it might not necessarily be left to you after I die.”

Chen Feng was long past the age of believing in love. So even though he was very moved now, he still had to say some unpleasant things, even if it would ruin the atmosphere.

“Do you think I’m interested in you because of your money?” Wu Mengting lowered her eyes slightly, her tone filled with disappointment.

“Is it because I’m handsome then?” Chen Feng laughed self-deprecatingly.

“You are actually a bit handsome,” Wu Mengting also smiled. “Most importantly, I believe in fate, I believe in destiny. We met by chance several times, this is the fate given to us by heaven. And, when I’m with you, I feel very relaxed and happy. And we get along very well. In short, I like you because I like you. You can doubt how deep my feelings for you are, but please don’t doubt that I’m after your money. When I fell for you, I didn’t even know you had money.”

“Alright. Although I’m very moved, and I actually have a good impression of you too, it’s still the same thing, I can’t ruin you. I already have two mistresses now, I don’t need another girlfriend. So…”

“I said just now, you can only agree,” Wu Mengting interrupted him, her tone firm. “Anyway, I’ve already decided that I’m your girlfriend. At the end of the year, we’ll go back to our hometown to meet our parents. First, we’ll meet my parents, then we’ll meet your parents. It’s settled.”

Chen Feng smiled bitterly, “What’s the point of this? I might just kick the bucket during the New Year.”

“It’s precisely because you could die at any time that I’m being so proactive and making this decision. Your objection is useless. Just think of me as being willful, as being infatuated. It’s not easy for me to fall for a man, I can’t leave any regrets. Since you also have a good impression of me, why are you still hypocritically objecting? Your constant rejection is what’s hurting me.”

As she spoke, Wu Mengting started to cry again.

Chen Feng was silent for a long time. In the end, he still said the very scumbag and mood-killing words, “I will never marry you.”

Hearing this, Wu Mengting had the urge to beat him up, but she held it in.

“Also, I will continue to keep those two mistresses.”

This time, Wu Mengting couldn’t hold back. She fiercely twisted his side.

Even through his clothes, Chen Feng cried out in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “If you can’t accept it, then let’s just forget it. There’s no need. It’s good for us to just be friends.”

Wu Mengting gritted her teeth and said, “I can barely accept Sister Sun, but she can only be your mistress. I am your girlfriend. You must get rid of the other one.”

After all, if Chen Feng really had a terminal illness and only a few months to live, his time was short. Wu Mengting chose to turn a blind eye to some things, chose to be tolerant.

“You… are you for real? You can accept even this?” Chen Feng was a little disbelieving.

“Three months. Sister Sun can be your mistress for at most three more months. After three months, you must break up.”

Wu Mengting was quite clever, giving a time limit.

Even so, it was still somewhat incredible for Chen Feng.

“Mengting, why do you have to do this? This is too unfair to you. Isn’t it good for us to just be friends? If we become a couple, I think it will be awkward instead.”

“Don’t take advantage and still act innocent. I’ve already done so much. If you still don’t agree, I… I’ll run to your house and tell your family, tell your brother and your mom, that you started something and then abandoned me, and then I’ll just stay at your house and not leave.”

Chen Feng was startled. If she did that, it would really be a troublesome matter.

“Alright, alright. You win, I’m scared of you. If you really want to try dating me, then let’s try. We can try dating. The kind where we don’t sleep together first, let’s get to know each other better first. Who knows, after getting to know each other more deeply, we might find that we’re not suitable for each other.”

Chen Feng said it magnanimously and openly.

And even though Wu Mengting blushed a little, she also nodded along, “Okay. Let’s try to get to know each other better.”

“Yes. Then that’s it. If you feel that I’m not as outstanding as you thought, that we’re not suitable, just tell me. The same goes for me. If I feel that you’re not as good as I imagined, I’ll also tell you directly.”

“What you say doesn’t count. Only what I say counts,” Wu Mengting’s tone became firm again. “Only I can reject you, not you reject me.”

“What the! When did you become so domineering?”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures! Brother Feng, just obediently accept it.”

“…Alright, stop hugging me like this. I’m getting a reaction, haven’t you noticed?”

Wu Mengting was stunned for a moment, then, startled, she quickly let go and took two steps back. She glared at him with a red face, not speaking.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, felt a little awkward. He chuckled, quickly bent down, turned around, and walked out quickly.

Then, as soon as the door was pulled open, Lin Wan, who had been eavesdropping with her ear to the door, fell in and bumped into him.
