CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 301: JIN XINYAN’S TEST

Chen Feng being so proactive in confessing made both women feel somewhat uncomfortable.

They would rather Chen Feng not say it, but since he already did, they have to bear with it.

Sun Xiaorui isn’t in a position to say anything to him, Wu Mengting has an agreement with him too and knows he is now suffering from a terminal illness that hasn’t healed.

For Sun Xiaorui, it’s relatively easier because she’s already come to terms with it; she herself is being supported by Chen Feng, and Chen Feng initially also made a verbal agreement with her. So, despite feeling uncomfortable inside, she quickly adapted after Chen Feng’s confession.

For Wu Mengting, however, she really feels uncomfortable; she particularly cannot accept how Chen Feng and Jin Xinyan just met, and then went to a hotel that night.

She really dislikes Chen Feng’s promiscuity, even starting to feel somewhat repulsed.

But she fell in love with him early on and is irrationally committed, which seems absurd now, but that’s the reality.

Falling in love with someone is sometimes inexplicably so, yet deeply engrossing and hard to escape.

"You guys are way too casual, aren’t you? After all, people are people, not animals. How can you just...like that after knowing each other for a few hours?"

Wu Mengting finally couldn’t hold back and let it out.

Chen Feng glanced at the silent Sun Xiaorui, thinking back, he met Sun Xiaorui for even less time, just one or two hours before negotiating the deal, and also had relations that very night.

However, with Sun Xiaorui, it’s a transactional relationship, which can be considered relatively normal.

Jin Xinyan was bold and straightforward, especially once Chen Feng discovered she was a virgin afterward, which made him extremely shocked.

Chen Feng couldn’t understand why she was so proactive.

"Well, I’ve explained this earlier, it really wasn’t me initiating. I was forced out of the house to meet her." Chen Feng could only weakly explain.

"What is she thinking? She seems to have a decent family condition, carries branded bags, is from Xiu Zhou City District, young and pretty; what does she want from you? Just because you own a film company?"

Wu Mengting felt a bit stifled, unable to keep her sarcastic words from slipping out.

This made Chen Feng a bit unhappy, thinking to himself, didn’t you also fall for me? You wouldn’t leave even after being urged repeatedly.

"Her family is well-off, so her interest in me isn’t primarily for money, but because of my personal charm."

Despite whether Wu Mengting admits it or not, this thirty-year-old "old man" Chen Feng does indeed possess a charm, especially knowing he has a billion-dollar fortune, which is lethal in attraction to these women.

Wealth, undeniably, is one of the most attractive aspects of men to women, at least it considerably increases attractiveness.

Wu Mengting could only quip: "Maybe you should go out less from now on. Given your charm, going out would only cause trouble, bringing harm to others and yourself in the future."

Chen Feng sighed: "The tree desires calm but the wind does not cease; I’ve always wanted to remain an ordinary person, an unobtrusive handsome guy, but fate is so miraculous, that even staying home, many opportunities come knocking. Sometimes, these divine favors are really hard to refuse and impossible to ignore."

"Don’t be so smug, there will be times you’ll end up crying."

After saying this, Wu Mengting stood up and went to reheat the food.

Sun Xiaorui continued sitting there, looking innocent.

Seeing Wu Mengting enter the kitchen and turn on the range hood, Chen Feng lowered his voice to warn her: "Don’t tell Mengting when I go out at night, understood?"

Sun Xiaorui said a bit aggrievedly: "I’m concerned for you. Besides, I only told her the next morning. You were gone all night and didn’t come back in the morning, I was worried something happened."

Chen Feng ignored her explanation, "Anyway, just remember for next time. Normally, I won’t go out late at night unless there’s a special circumstance."

Sun Xiaorui nodded obediently: "Mm, I understand."

Only then did Chen Feng feel satisfied.

Not long after the three had dinner, Chen Feng received a message from Jin Xinyan inviting him out, saying she wants to introduce him to a few friends.

Chen Feng was not interested in this and directly refused.

No matter how much Jin Xinyan pouted and acted cute on WeChat, sending flirtatious voices, Chen Feng did not agree.

Finally, Jin Xinyan could only send a voice message: [I’m truly impressed with you. As a grown man, are you afraid to meet people?]

Chen Feng directly ignored it, continuing to lounge, scrolling through short videos.

A few minutes later, Jin Xinyan sent him several photos in a row.

They were taken at a bar, with Jin Xinyan and several similarly aged boys and girls; she took some selfies and some group photos.

[These few are my friends I’ve known for a while; hearing I have a boyfriend, they got curious and wanted to meet you. If you don’t come, it’ll be embarrassing for me.]

Chen Feng wanted to ask back: When did I become your boyfriend?

But considering he had taken her virginity, saying that would make him seem like a jerk.

Chen Feng thought for a moment before replying: [They’re too young; as an old man, I won’t fit in with them, besides among these boys, there might be a rival wanting to fight me.]

[No way, you’re overthinking. These three guys already have girlfriends, two I’ve known since I was ten, the other one is a junior high, high school classmate, really not rivals. Come on, I’ve told them about you, if you don’t come, it’ll be embarrassing for me.]

Chen Feng felt quite helpless, really not wanting to go and meet a bunch of kids, but since Jin Xinyan was persistently pleading, it seemed rather unkind not to go.

[What do you want me to do if I go? Just drink and chat with them?]

[Yes, why not? This bar we’re at is a quiet bar, just for drinking and chatting, no clubbing or dancing, very peaceful, none of those messy elements from other bars. Come with peace of mind.]

Chen Feng felt annoyed internally for Jin Xinyan creating trouble for him, considering he wasn’t really her boyfriend in essence, what was her intention behind introducing him to her friends? Did she want to claim him multi-laterally?

[Did you really tell them I’m your boyfriend?]

Chen Feng wanted to clarify this first.

[Of course, otherwise how would I introduce you, to say you’re just a friend or a hookup partner?]

Chen Feng thought introducing him as a hookup partner would be better than as a boyfriend.

[I don’t think I’m your actual boyfriend yet, right? You know my circumstances, you’re not the only woman around me. As of now, I don’t intend to settle with a fixed girlfriend.]

[Your words are really annoying; I just want you to come over and front, make me feel proud in front of my friends. After all, I’ve already boasted about you, saying you’re a film company owner, with a new TV show coming soon. Rest assured, I’m not planning to tie myself to your lone tree.]
