After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1377 - 715: The Suddenly Appearing Love Rival

Zhou Qianru finally refused Chen Feng’s invitation, choosing not to join him for lunch at No. 8 Villa. She wasn’t quite ready to meet the two women living with Chen Feng, feeling somewhat uneasy about it.Chen Feng didn’t press her. After inviting her twice without success, he went back alone to have lunch with Sun and Wu.

At the dining table, Chen Feng told the two women that Zhou Qianru had moved in.

The two women weren’t surprised, as Chen Feng had mentioned to them yesterday that he was going to rent the house to her. They were curious about what Zhou Qianru looked like and planned to meet her after lunch since they were now neighbors.

Chen Feng remained quite calm, stating he would take them over after they finished eating.

So, after finishing their meal, Chen Feng took Sun and Wu to meet Zhou Qianru.

Regarding their sudden arrival, Zhou Qianru also appeared quite composed, taking the initiative to chat with Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, and surprisingly got along well with them.

Especially with Wu Mengting, the two of them hit it off chatting about fine arts and art.

So much so that Chen Feng couldn’t get a word in.

It wasn’t until it was time for the two women to go to work that the three of them bade farewell to Zhou Qianru and left E06 Villa.

"Sister Qian is very knowledgeable, particularly in literature, history, and art; I can’t compare to her."

Wu Mengting marveled as she walked.

Sun Xiaorui echoed, "Not only is she beautiful, but she also has an air of elegance. As the saying goes, ’A bellyful of poetry gives one a refined aura,’ she is a cultured and well-mannered lady. You can tell she’s a highly educated intellectual."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Indeed, her demeanor is quite impressive."

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s praise, Wu Mengting felt a bit suspicious, but quickly dismissed it, reminding herself that Zhou Qianru was at least seven or eight years older than him.

"I’ll have another friend to hang out with on weekends and holidays; that’s great. Did she say how long she plans to stay here?" Wu Mengting asked.

Chen Feng replied, "She said she’ll stay for now, and if she feels comfortable, she’ll stay longer."

"That’s good. The environment here is great; I’m sure she’ll like it."

The three soon returned to No. 8 Villa, and the two women drove to work. After a moment’s hesitation, Chen Feng headed upstairs to absorb some artistic energy and meditate.

He had thought about going to Zhou Qianru’s place, but that would make it too obvious, like a young boy with a crush on his older sister. That’s not good—it’s not stable or mature.

So, Chen Feng held himself back and stayed at home.

For the next two days, Chen Feng decided to restrain his impulses and not visit E06 to see Zhou Qianru. It’s not that he was ignoring her; he kept in touch via WeChat, caring for her actively but simply not visiting.

Zhou Qianru was also quite composed. Perhaps after moving here, she no longer felt as lonely as before, so she didn’t need Chen Feng to visit her every day.

Since she didn’t express that desire on WeChat, Chen Feng, of course, had no intention of visiting.

He did have some "youthful feelings" for Zhou Qianru, but that didn’t mean he was completely under her spell.

He needed to regain the initiative and not appear too anxious to her.

Besides, he wasn’t lacking female companionship and had no reason to obsess over Zhou Qianru, who hadn’t officially divorced yet.

Chen Feng wasn’t the type of man driven by lust or ruled by his lower instincts. He had plenty of time to engage in psychological games with his new neighbor, Zhou Qianru.

Over the past two days, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui visited Zhou Qianru daily.

Zhou Qianru specifically gifted each of them a painting she personally created.

Wu Mengting received a persimmon painting, and Sun Xiaorui received a magpie painting.

Both women were very pleased with their paintings.

Chen Feng specifically went to take a look and sense them, but unfortunately, he couldn’t detect any invisible energy from the paintings.

Otherwise, Chen Feng would have collected the artworks he needed from her.

It was Saturday, and Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui invited Zhou Qianru for a shopping trip.

Zhou Qianru had barely gone out since moving to Red Villa Bay. Although she enjoyed peace and quiet, she didn’t want to be isolated, especially now that she considered having made two new friends. It was hard to refuse their invitation.

Initially, Wu Mengting had also invited Chen Feng, but he didn’t want to join them, so he declined.

Besides, Chen Feng had other plans, which included sneaking off to meet Zhang Yuxi.

At the duplex in East Lake Garden, after working up a sweat through exercise, Chen Feng thoughtfully fetched two bottles of water, one for each of them.

Then, they sat on the balcony, sipping the water and chit-chatting while enjoying the view outside the window.

"In the coming days, I might be quite busy, flying all over the country. It’ll be about a month before I can return to Xiu Zhou."

"No problem, work is important. Of course, if you find it too tiring, I can ask the company to lighten your workload."

"There’s no need for that. Now that I’m a celebrity, I must stay busy. Besides, ’Green Jade Case’ is currently airing, and I’m quite popular, so I need to seize this opportunity to earn some money. Otherwise, it would be a waste."

"Do as you see fit. But remember, money isn’t everything; health is most important. Don’t exhaust yourself."

"I’m aware. I’m still young, so it’s fine to work hard and earn more money. Of course, you’re right; I shouldn’t overwork myself. I’ll be careful and request a reduced workload from the company if I start feeling overwhelmed."

"That’s good, just don’t wear yourself out for the money."

"I won’t, don’t worry."

With a grin, Zhang Yuxi clinked her bottle of water against Chen Feng’s, and they both took another sip.

Then, Zhang Yuxi suddenly said, "Lately, there’s been a persistent rich kid chasing after me. No matter where I go, he follows me, and I can’t shake him off. It’s so annoying."

Curious, Chen Feng asked, "Oh, what kind of rich kid? What’s his name?"

"His name is Yao Guanyu, the Crown Prince of Zhuoyu Group. The group’s headquarters is in Yue State, and they own several companies. The most well-known subsidiary is the one that produces Xingyu home appliances, with its main products being Xingyu range hoods and gas stoves, which sell well."

Chen Feng chuckled, "Seems like you’ve done your homework on him."

Zhang Yuxi candidly said, "He’s been following me for almost a week, so I definitely had to find out more about him."

"How old is he? What does he look like?"

"He’s around twenty-five or twenty-six, has an average appearance—neither handsome nor ugly—and he’s about six feet tall. The main thing is, his family is wealthy. He’s their only child, set to inherit a billion-dollar group in the future."

Chen Feng asked, "Aren’t you tempted? A rich young heir chasing you for days seems quite sincere."
