Chapter 1362: Chapter 707: Beauty Trap (Part 2)
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Wu Mengting glanced at the embarrassed-looking Sun Xiaorui and then slowly said, "I didn’t ask her to move out, nor did I hint at it, let alone force her to move out. I just suggested she and you sleep in separate rooms, that’s all. I don’t think I was wrong about that, right? You’re my boyfriend now, so naturally, there’s no reason for my boyfriend to share a bed with her every day."
When Wu Mengting said this, Chen Feng believed her, but he still looked at Sun Xiaorui with some suspicion.
Sun Xiaorui smiled wryly and said, "Brother Feng, this is entirely my own decision. You and Mengting are officially a couple now, so it’s really inappropriate for me to stay here."
But Chen Feng shook his head resolutely and said, "Alright, you continue living here. This villa is so big, and there are only the three of us. If you leave, it wouldn’t be interesting living here with just Mengting and me."
Wu Mengting wanted to say "It would be interesting," but ultimately held back.
Sun Xiaorui showed a face full of helplessness and indecision and finally looked at Wu Mengting with a cautious expression.
Chen Feng urged immediately, "Mengting, you should say something too."
Wu Mengting looked at Sun Xiaorui calmly and asked, "Are you really planning to move out?"
Sun Xiaorui subconsciously nodded slightly.
Wu Mengting then said, "Well, I think you moving out is also good. Like you just said..."
"Stop!" Chen Feng raised his hand to interrupt Wu Mengting, frowned, and said, "I don’t want her to move out. Originally, with three people living in this villa, it already feels lifeless; losing one more would make it even more empty."
Wu Mengting also frowned and said, "But now my relationship with you is different. If she continues to stay here, it will only make her feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. It’s better to go along with her wishes and let her move out."
"Alright, there’s nothing more to say here." Chen Feng’s attitude was domineering, and he said with authority, "Neither of you is allowed to move out."
Sun Xiaorui, with a cautious look, tentatively suggested, "How about I move to the original E06, which is vacant anyway."
That house was originally for Liu Ying, who moved to Bibo Garden after getting pregnant, leaving it vacant.
Chen Feng certainly had no intention of renting it out, nor did he plan to let anyone else move in.
Because he had already promised Liu Ying that once the child was born, the E06 villa would be registered under the child’s name.
Moreover, Chen Feng really didn’t want Sun Xiaorui to move out.
So, Chen Feng once again said domineeringly, "Alright, just stay here and don’t go anywhere."
Seeing this, Sun Xiaorui accepted her fate, her face full of helplessness.
Wu Mengting didn’t say anything more and continued eating, looking calm.
The atmosphere at the dinner table turned silent, with the three of them quietly continuing their meal without interaction.
This vibe was certainly not what Chen Feng liked, but for the time being, he had no way to improve it, so he had to let it be for now.
Wu Mengting only ate a small bowl of rice, even though she usually could eat two small bowls.
Clearly, because of what just happened, her mood was affected, thus impacting her appetite.
"I’m done eating. You guys continue."
The basic etiquette at the dining table was still observed. After Wu Mengting finished speaking, she stood up, took her used bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen, and then went upstairs.
After seeing Wu Mengting go upstairs, Chen Feng leaned in and asked Sun Xiaorui quietly, "Do you really want to move out? Did Mengting force you?"
Sun Xiaorui quickly shook her head, "It really has nothing to do with her; it’s my own issue. I certainly don’t want to move out either, but my current role is really making me awkward, feeling like a third wheel yet living with the main couple."
Chen Feng said with a gloomy face, "My relationship with Mengting may be different in name, but in reality, it’s not much different from before. Other than not sharing a room, everything else is the same as before. You shouldn’t feel awkward; can’t you just be a bit thick-skinned?"
Sun Xiaorui grimaced, "I just can’t do it!"
Chen Feng insisted, "Even if you can’t, you have to."
...
While Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui were "rehearsing lines" downstairs, Wu Mengting returned to her room upstairs. Shortly after sitting down, a call from Zhao Xiaolan came in, which she hurriedly answered.
"Godmother, have you eaten?" Wu Mengting asked affectionately.
"Don’t call me godmother anymore, just call me mom," Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile.
Wu Mengting wasn’t thick-skinned enough to call her mom; she could only smile awkwardly to gloss over the moment.
Zhao Xiaolan didn’t tease her further and suddenly spoke with some hesitation, "Tingting, there’s something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it? Just tell me, I’m listening."
"Okay, then I’ll say it."
...
Over ten minutes later, Wu Mengting hung up the phone with an extremely unpleasant expression.
Zhao Xiaolan’s call was to try to persuade her to delay her wedding with Chen Feng, even for two years, which naturally made her furious.
The trouble was, these words came from Zhao Xiaolan, so as a junior and future daughter-in-law, she couldn’t lose her temper and had to bottle it up inside.
Zhao Xiaolan did explain the reasons for the delay, bringing out the entire logic shared by Chen Feng.
Wu Mengting didn’t believe Chen Feng’s excuse to trick his mom and tried to convince Zhao Xiaolan that Chen Feng was lying and that such accurate fortune-telling was impossible in the world.
But Zhao Xiaolan preferred to believe it, as Chen Feng’s logic was quite coherent.
Especially the oddity of him suddenly winning big in the lottery last year added to the mystery.
It wasn’t for the fact that Chen Feng had promised her to delay the wedding if he convinced his mom, she might have believed it too.
Arranging the marriage to be postponed for another two years by Chen Feng was excessive.
Furious, she wanted to storm downstairs to confront Chen Feng, but after standing up, she sat back down.
She and Chen Feng had certain agreements that she couldn’t break, or Chen Feng might deny her as his girlfriend.
Moreover, the timing wasn’t right; just minutes ago, she had an unpleasant exchange with Chen Feng, and confronting him now or arguing seemed unwise.
Therefore, Wu Mengting forced herself to calm down and pondered how to break this situation.
Finally, after thinking it over, she decided to rely on her parents.
The engagement between Chen Feng and her was previously agreed upon by both families, so if his family were to backtrack, her family would certainly have something to say.
As long as her parents pushed harder, forcing Chen Feng’s parents to honor the initial agreement, they might not be able to hold their ground.
