Chapter 1370 - 711: Alliance Collapse (Part 2)
However, she changed her mind at the last minute, and just arranged for the receptionist to contact Wu Mengting, then let Tang Jierui meet with Wu Mengting alone.In this way, she could easily extricate herself.
If Wu Mengting really has feelings for Tang Jierui, her junior and develops some ambiguity, that’s not her fault.
But according to Sun Xiaorui’s understanding of Wu Mengting, this possibility isn’t very high.
As expected, the result was that although Tang Jierui got a small role, Wu Mengting had no intention of having a meal with him or deepening their relationship.
This left Sun Xiaorui a little disappointed, internally she somewhat hoped Wu Mengting would transfer her affections, but evidently this wasn’t going to happen.
...
Chen Feng arrived at the Lakefront Villa around eleven o’clock; Lin Yujiao happened to be cooking in the kitchen, clearly preparing a meal for him.
Jin Xinyan was nowhere to be seen.
"You’re here." Lin Yujiao saw Chen Feng from the kitchen and happily called out to him in her hometown dialect.
Chen Feng nodded with a smile, walked towards the kitchen, and asked, "What are you cooking that’s delicious?"
"There’s sweet and sour ribs and Kung Pao chicken that you love, with some green vegetables and cauliflower, all home-cooked dishes."
"Nice, all things I love. By the way, where’s Xinyan? Isn’t she coming for lunch?"
"She’s at Fengmang Film and Television Company, she’ll be coming for lunch too."
"Oh, I heard you want to move out, has Mengting contacted you?"
"No." Lin Yujiao immediately shook her head in denial, "She hasn’t contacted me. I only decided to move out after knowing she became your official girlfriend. After all, you already have a girlfriend, it’s not quite proper for me to continue living here and clinging to you."
"There’s nothing improper about it." Chen Feng said nonchalantly, "She’s just my girlfriend in name, it doesn’t interfere with my relationships with you and other women. I’ve already made this clear to her."
Lin Yujiao looked at him speechlessly, then continued to stir-fry with a spatula.
After finishing the stir-fry, pouring it into a plate, she then spoke to Chen Feng, "You can’t keep doing this. You can’t maintain intimate relationships with so many women forever. We’ll grow old, you need to settle down eventually."
Chen Feng said candidly, "I won’t get married in the next two to three years at least. You can rest assured about that. I’m quite content with these two to three years as well. Of course, if you really want to leave me and break up, I won’t stop you. But I don’t wish for that."
Lin Yujiao remained silent, focusing on her cooking.
Just as Chen Feng intended to say a few more words to her, Jin Xinyan arrived, shouting cheerfully at Chen Feng, "Boss, finally I get to see you. I thought you’d forgotten about the two of us."
With that, she ran up to Chen Feng, took his arm, and called out to Lin Yujiao in the kitchen, "Sis, is the food ready?"
Lin Yujiao glanced at her and replied, "Almost ready, come on and take these dishes to the table."
"Alrighty."
Jin Xinyan agreed, and entered the kitchen to bring the dishes.
Seeing this, Chen Feng also lent a hand, taking the cooked dishes to the dining table.
The two then sat down at the table.
"Brother, you’ve been back two or three days already, right? What have you been busy with?" Jin Xinyan asked with a smile.
"Haven’t been up to much, just hanging around at home." Chen Feng replied honestly.
"Then why didn’t you come to find me?" Jin Xinyan asked with a hint of grievance.
Chen Feng shamelessly said, "You know I’m pretty lazy, and besides, I have many women. Since you didn’t contact me proactively, I just didn’t come looking for you."
Jin Xinyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes: "You are honest indeed. With so many women, have you thought about trimming a few?"
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows: "Would you want to be trimmed?"
"Of course not." Jin Xinyan promptly said, "I mean trimming those women you don’t frequently contact. You have so many women, it’s really unnecessary. Besides, it feels a bit disrespectful to Wu Mengting, don’t you agree? Whatever the case, she is your girlfriend in name now."
"You also mentioned she’s just my girlfriend in name. Besides, I’ve had agreements with her beforehand, she can’t interfere with my matters with you few women. At least not before I marry her."
"But you have too many women, it’s really unnecessary. I think besides Wu Mengting, three or four women would be more than enough."
"Do you know how many women I have now?"
"I don’t know, but aside from Wu Mengting, there must be more than five, right?"
Chen Feng looked at her with slight surprise, "You guessed correctly, more or less."
"So, you should trim two or three. Too many women, you can’t manage them all."
"I know what I’m doing, you don’t need to worry too much. As you know, you are just my personal assistant and lover now, not my girlfriend. Even a girlfriend wouldn’t have the right to interfere with these matters."
"Alright alright, I was just suggesting, not trying to interfere."
Jin Xinyan quietly kept her mouth shut.
Soon, Lin Yujiao finished the last dish, taking it out and placing it on the table before the three of them started eating.
Lin Yujiao’s cooking skill, though not as good as Wu Mengting’s, was still above average, and more importantly, quite authentic Lin Nan flavor, which Chen Feng genuinely enjoyed.
At the dining table, Chen Feng said to Lin Yujiao, "Yu Jiao, feel free to keep living in this house, it’s fine. If you don’t, it’ll just remain vacant, which wouldn’t be great. Mengting won’t say anything to you. Even if she does, you don’t need to care. She’s just my girlfriend in name, not even my fiancée, much less my wife, so she has no right to say whether you can live here or not."
Jin Xinyan echoed, "Yeah, Sister Yu Jiao, since the boss says so, just feel at ease living here. Is renting a place outside as comfortable as living here?"
Only hesitating slightly, Lin Yujiao nodded in agreement, "Alright then, I’ll continue living here until I save enough money to buy a house and then move out."
"You want to buy a house?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.
"Of course." Lin Yujiao said with a hint of pride, "Actually, I’ve saved enough for the down payment, but I’d rather pay it off in one go, so I still need some more time to save up."
"Have you mainly earned this money from commercial performances?"
"Half and half, I’ve earned about a million from commercial gigs, and around the same from my two stores as well. Of course, commercial gigs earn faster and more. But my popularity has already passed, not much commercial gig offers now."
It shows how lucrative entertainment is, even for someone like Lin Yujiao, a non-mainstream rising little singer, she’s made over a million in no time.
Not to mention those truly famous singers and stars, whose earning speed probably surpasses robbing a bank.
