Chapter 111: Wanting Both

“You’re so cheesy!”

Wu Mengting couldn’t stop laughing and sat up straight again.

Chen Feng said with an innocent face, “You see, I told you it was cheesy. You still didn’t believe me.”

Wu Mengting held back her laughter and shook her head, “When I said it, it wasn’t cheesy. What you just said was really cheesy.”

“Then how about I say it once in our hometown dialect?” Chen Feng said, about to put on a deeply affectionate look again.

Wu Mengting quickly hugged him and begged for mercy, “Don’t, don’t, don’t! It’s already so cheesy when you say it in Mandarin. If you say it in our hometown dialect, I won’t be able to stand it even more. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have said that.”

To be honest, Chen Feng also felt it was a bit cheesy, so he pretended to be magnanimous and said, “It’s good that you know you were wrong. Don’t say such cheesy things to me in the future, I’m getting goosebumps.”

“You’re really unromantic,” Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at Chen Feng, but her lips still held a sweet smile.

“That’s right. That’s just how I am. If you don’t like it, it’s not too late,” Chen Feng said with a feigned seriousness.

Wu Mengting said faintly, “It’s too late. I’m a single-minded person. Once I like someone, it’s hard to turn back. You have to be responsible to the end.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but hug her a little tighter.

The early winter sun was warm on their bodies. In this afternoon on the long street, embracing the person he loved on this outdoor bench, wasn’t this also a kind of happiness and enjoyment?

At the same time, it was also a kind of realm.

At this moment, Chen Feng felt that he had been elevated, as if he had reached some kind of spiritual resonance with the woman in his arms.

Then, a phone rang. It was Chen Feng’s.

Chen Feng had to take out his phone from his pocket. It was Sun Xiaorui. His mind suddenly cleared, and then he subconsciously glanced at Wu Mengting, who was still leaning in his arms.

“Whose call is it? Aren’t you going to answer?”

The ringing continued, and Wu Mengting couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s… Xiaorui’s,” Chen Feng said with some embarrassment.

“Answer it. I don’t mind.”

Although Wu Mengting said so, her body, which was leaning against him, still stiffened for a moment, and then she sat up straight again.

Chen Feng braced himself and answered.

“Brother Feng, I’m back. I’m in the car, I’ll be there in half an hour. Aren’t you surprised?”

As soon as the call connected, Sun Xiaorui’s cheerful voice entered his ears.

Chen Feng was indeed a little surprised, but the surprise was clearly more than the joy. He had originally thought Sun Xiaorui would be back in a few days, but now she had clearly returned early.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be back for a few more days? Why did you come today?” Chen Feng asked with some helplessness.

He had just established a relationship with Wu Mengting and was in the process of developing it further, but his mistress, Sun Xiaorui, had returned.

This also involved the problem of housing.

Wu Mengting and Lin Wan were still living at the East Lake villa.

If Wu Mengting wasn’t his girlfriend, it would be a normal operation to find them a house as soon as possible and have them move out.

But now that Wu Mengting was his girlfriend, and Chen Feng had admitted it, it was of course not good to ask her to move out.

So how should Sun Xiaorui live when she came back? Should he ask her to move out?

Although she was his kept mistress, and such an operation was not unreasonable, there was a matter of first come, first served. And in his heart, Chen Feng actually still preferred Sun Xiaorui. Her considerate care had always made Chen Feng very satisfied, and he really couldn’t bear to let her move out.

So, let them live together?

How could Chen Feng bring himself to say that?
Sun Xiaorui might not care much, or rather, she had no qualification or right to care, but Wu Mengting, as his girlfriend, had the qualification and the right to care.

“I was afraid that if I didn’t come back, your heart wouldn’t belong to me anymore,” Sun Xiaorui said half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Chen Feng was slightly stunned. He pretended to be serious and said, “My heart never belonged to you in the first place.”

Sun Xiaorui’s tone was resentful, “I know. Now that you’re dating Mengting, does your heart belong to her? A man’s heart is really like the weather in June, it changes just like that.”

Seeing that she already knew about Wu Mengting, Chen Feng wasn’t too surprised. After all, she knew both Wu Mengting and Lin Wan. It was likely that one of them had told her.

“This world is constantly changing,” Chen Feng said, following her words. “And it’s not just the weather in June. The weather in December is the same now, it changes just like that. A while ago it was drizzling, and now the sun is out.”

Sun Xiaorui chuckled twice, then suddenly said with a smile, “I knew this day would come. We also agreed at the beginning that if either of us fell for someone else, we would let the other go. So, are you planning to dump me now?”

Chen Feng glanced at Wu Mengting, who was listening with her ears pricked up, coughed twice, and said, “Let’s talk about this in detail when you get back.”

“…Okay. I’m almost there. Is Mengting there too?”

“Yes. She and I are at Delong Plaza, we’ll be back soon.”

It was so obvious, of course Sun Xiaorui knew that Wu Mengting was right next to Chen Feng.

“Oh, okay. Then let’s leave it at that for now.”

“Yes. We’ll talk when you get back.”

The two of them hung up the phone with a tacit understanding.

“Sister Sun is back? What did she say?” Wu Mengting asked.

Chen Feng said unhappily, “Didn’t you just hear everything?”

Wu Mengting’s face turned slightly red, but she also said magnanimously, “I didn’t hear clearly.”

Chen Feng said frankly, “She knows we’re dating, so she came back early. Also, she asked if I was going to dump her.”

“Oh, so what are you thinking?”

“This… didn’t we agree before? You’ll give me three more months.”

Previously, Chen Feng had said this with righteousness, but now he felt inexplicably guilty.

Wu Mengting looked at him sideways, not speaking.

Being looked at by her, Chen Feng felt even more guilty. However, on the surface, he was quite calm. He smiled and said, “You also know she came first. Even though she was just my kept mistress at the beginning, after spending some time with her, we still have some feelings for each other. I can’t just break up with her like that, it’s too heartless.

Besides, I have this illness, and my time is short. I probably won’t live for more than three months. So, just be generous and don’t argue with me about this. Just think of it as your end-of-life care for me.”

Hearing this, Wu Mengting’s face immediately showed a sad expression. She threw herself into his arms and said, “I already said, don’t talk about being sick anymore. You’ll be fine! Don’t always think like that. We’ve only just begun, we can’t end so hastily. We still have a lot of time. You’ll be fine!”

“Alright, alright. I won’t say it anymore. But about Xiaorui, you also know, I’ve spent a lot of money on her before. For her dad’s medical treatment, I gave 500,000. It’s impossible for her to pay me back this money, it all has to be deducted from the support fee. If I dump her now, not only will I not get this money back, but I’ll also have to give her a breakup fee. In that case, wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?”
Seeing her like this, Chen Feng felt a little bad. He could only find this seemingly clumsy reason to avoid Wu Mengting thinking that he had deep feelings for Sun Xiaorui.

But he really didn’t want to go against his own heart. A scumbag is a scumbag. He liked Sun Xiaorui, and now he also liked Wu Mengting. He wanted both, not one less.

Besides, he wasn’t the kind of scumbag who forgot the old for the new. In this aspect, he still had a lot of integrity.

“Are you really not willing to let her go because of the money?” Wu Mengting had a look of suspicion.

Chen Feng avoided her scrutinizing gaze and said calmly, “Mostly. Also, as I said just now, I’ve been with her for a while, and we have some feelings for each other. I can’t just dump her.”

Wu Mengting asked back, “Then what if she takes the initiative to leave?”

“Ah. That’s probably impossible. After all, my monthly support fee of 50,000 is not a small sum.”

“I’m just asking you, if she is willing to leave on her own, are you willing to let her go?”

Feeling Wu Mengting’s gaze, Chen Feng had to say, “If she takes the initiative to leave, I definitely won’t force her. But I won’t be able to get back the money from before. Also, I definitely won’t give her a breakup fee.”

“That’s good. Remember what you said. Let’s go back now.”

“Ah, oh, okay.”

Wu Mengting suddenly became a bit assertive, which made Chen Feng a little unaccustomed.

---

When they returned to the East Lake villa, Sun Xiaorui hadn’t returned yet. Lin Wan had gone to work and hadn’t returned either.

After waiting in the living room for a few minutes, they heard the sound of the door opening.

Sun Xiaorui had the key to the main door and let herself in.

“You go avoid for a moment, I’ll talk to her.”

Wu Mengting suddenly made this request.

Chen Feng was a little reluctant, but seeing her insistent look, he had to nod and go upstairs first.

Sun Xiaorui walked to the living room entrance with her suitcase and saw Wu Mengting sitting on the sofa inside. She didn’t look surprised at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly and took the initiative to greet her, “Mengting, you’re really here. Where’s Brother Feng?”

Wu Mengting said with a calm face, “I asked him to go upstairs and avoid for a moment. Let’s talk first.”

“Talk about what?” Sun Xiaorui asked back in a relaxed tone, then walked into the living room with her suitcase.

Wu Mengting said directly, “You take the initiative to leave Brother Feng. The money he gave you before will be written off. In addition, I will personally give you one hundred thousand as a breakup fee.”

Sun Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, “Mengting, this joke is not funny at all. When did my business with Brother Feng become your business to manage? Besides, even if I were to break up with Brother Feng, would I need you to pay for it? It’s not you who’s breaking up with me.”

As Sun Xiaorui spoke, she pushed her suitcase and sat down on the sofa opposite Wu Mengting. Then she casually took an orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table and started peeling it.

Her demeanor was natural, as if she had returned to her own home.

In fact, this was indeed her home.

Wu Mengting frowned slightly, “Wan’er should have told you about me and Brother Feng. I am his girlfriend now, so of course I have the right to manage his affairs with other women.”

Sun Xiaorui smiled and shook her head slightly, staring at her, “You’ve changed. You’re not as cute as before. As expected, a woman’s personality changes drastically because of emotional problems. I don’t like the current you.”

After saying that, Sun Xiaorui put a slice of orange into her mouth and started eating.

Wu Mengting sighed, “You’re right. I’m very concerned about Brother Feng now. I don’t want him to be intimate with other women and get entangled. So, it’s best for you to take the initiative to leave. This way, all three of us can be happy.”

“You’re wrong about that. If I leave, you’ll be happy, but I’ll be crying my eyes out.”

Sun Xiaorui stuffed half an orange into her mouth at once and chewed it with some disregard for her image. The juice even dripped out a little. She wiped it with her hand and then wiped her hand on her pants.

Wu Mengting’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly. After a good while, she asked, “Then what do you want?”

“I don’t want anything, what do you want? You’re the one who stole my love, you know? You’re the one who broke into my life with Brother Feng. You’re the third party, not me.”

Sun Xiaorui’s tone suddenly became sharp.

Wu Mengting sighed again, “I think you’ve probably forgotten that from the very beginning, your relationship with Brother Feng was a transaction, an employment relationship. He gave you money, and you were his mistress. To put it nicely, you were in a temporary relationship. To put it bluntly, it was a kept relationship. And although I came later, I am his proper girlfriend.”

“But you have no right to make me leave him on my own initiative. Anyway, I came first, you have no right to do this.”

Sun Xiaorui stood up, bent down, and forcefully threw the two uneaten orange slices into the trash can, making a sound. Then she reached out and pulled out a few tissues, wiping her hands vigorously.

Wu Mengting’s face turned cold. “Then what if Brother Feng asks you to leave him? Does he have that right?”

Sun Xiaorui’s expression immediately changed. Her feigned toughness and composure could no longer be maintained. The action of wiping her hands with the tissue also stopped. A look of pleading appeared in her eyes as she looked at Wu Mengting and said, “Mengting, we knew each other before. When I knew you liked Brother Feng, did I target you? No, right?

So why are you targeting me now? Brother Feng has accepted you as his girlfriend, why do you have to make me leave? I can continue to be his mistress, can’t you just turn a blind eye?”

“Do you think I’m a fool? You’ve been clamoring to become his official girlfriend before, do you think you don’t have that thought now? If you were his girlfriend now, would you be willing to share him with other women?”

Wu Mengting stared at her with a cold expression, showing no sign of softening or backing down.

Sun Xiaorui also had a cold face, her hands clenched together, her gaze clashing with hers without any retreat.

The two women just stared at each other in silence.

Until, Chen Feng deliberately made his footsteps heavier as he came down the stairs.

“Mengting, you come upstairs now. I’ll talk to her alone.”

Chen Feng said to Wu Mengting from the stairs, scratching his head.

“No!”

Wu Mengting refused flatly.

Chen Feng was suddenly a little unhappy. He had clearly been promised three months before, but now that the time had come, she had suddenly changed her mind. Was there any integrity left?

“Be good! I’ll explain it to her clearly.”

Chen Feng’s tone became heavier.

He did like Wu Mengting and was very moved by her devotion, but that didn’t mean he would spoil her in everything.

Wu Mengting now understood Chen Feng’s temper to some extent. Seeing that he was really a little angry, she couldn’t fight him head-on.

So, she stood up from the sofa without another word, but instead of going upstairs, she went into the courtyard. She walked all the way to a stone table in the middle of the courtyard and sat down on a stone stool.

It was about twenty or thirty meters away from the living room, not too close and not too far. If they spoke loudly in the living room, she should be able to hear.
