Chapter 147: Chapter 112: Doing Ideological WorkAs soon as Wu Mengting left, Sun Xiaorui’s expression visibly relaxed, her clenched hands unclenched, and she stood up from the sofa with a smile, looking happily at Chen Feng. Chen Feng walked over naturally, pulling her to sit down together and asked with concern, "How is your father doing now? Did you find a caretaker?" Sun Xiaorui immediately beamed at the question and said happily, "My dad is recovering well, and the caretaker we found is my mom’s cousin, quite reliable, and she can also keep my mom company." "That’s good." Chen Feng nodded and then glanced towards the yard, lowering his voice slightly and said, "I overheard a bit of what Mengting just said to you . What I mean is, I want you to continue being with me, provided that you are willing. If you’re not willing..." "I am willing!" Sun Xiaorui eagerly agreed, her face full of surprise as she threw herself into his arms. Soft fragrance filled his embrace, lifting Chen Feng’s spirits, the familiar scent and feeling, so good. If Wu Mengting hadn’t been in the yard, Chen Feng would have welcomed Sun Xiaorui as if it were a honeymoon. He had to suppress that notion, maintaining an image of a decent gentleman without harboring any disordered thoughts, and sighed, "But I feel it’s somewhat unfair to you, and I’m kind of sorry towards Mengting. Maybe I’m just a scumbag, I like both of you, and I don’t want to let go of either." Resting in Chen Feng’s arms, Sun Xiaorui, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite comfortable, quickly replied, "That’s not a problem for me. I can be your lover for a lifetime, as long as you don’t get tired of me. I’m just afraid Mengting might not agree, she was pressuring me to leave you just now, but I didn’t agree." "I’ve already talked to her about your situation, and she reluctantly agreed, gave us another three months to cut off our contact. I had no choice but to agree." Sun Xiaorui stiffened a bit upon hearing this, and said with a sultry tone, "Three months? We haven’t even been together for a month yet, and now we have to be apart for three months?" "Of course, I don’t want to be apart from you. It’s said to be three months, but after three months, I definitely won’t want to leave you. It’s just a temporary measure." Three months later he might be dead by then, so it’s not really deceiving her. Of course, if he’s still alive after the three months, so much the better. By then, he should have a plan. As the saying goes "Get drunk today, who cares about right and wrong tomorrow?" For someone with a terminal illness like him, cherishing the present and enjoying the moment is the most reasonable approach. Anything else can wait until after he’s dead. "Really? You’re not deceiving me?" Sun Xiaorui looked up at him, a coquettish expression on her face. "Really, I’m not deceiving you." "That’s good." Sun Xiaorui smiled happily, kissed Chen Feng, and then leaned back into his embrace. Chen Feng smiled and naturally stroked her back with his hand. Sun Xiaorui savored Chen Feng’s caress, narrowing her eyes and asked softly, "How did you suddenly get together with Mengting? I remember you always refused her before, even saying you didn’t want a relationship." Chen Feng sighed helplessly and said, "It’s because you left. Being alone was really boring, especially at night, it was empty, lonely, and cold. I wasn’t used to not having you around. Then fate played its hand, and I met her several times coincidentally. And you know what? Her previous rental place was just 100 meters away from here in Wuhua District. You know I prefer home-cooked meals, and Mengting is quite a good cook. She’s also from Lu City, cooks dishes from my hometown, how could I resist? I often went over for meals, and after several confessions from her, even a heart of steel would soften. I had no choice but to reluctantly agree. Otherwise, it would’ve been awkward to continue freeloading meals, right?" Chen Feng’s explanation obviously didn’t satisfy Sun Xiaorui. But what could she say at this point? Could she really blame Chen Feng for changing his mind? She wasn’t his girlfriend, just a kept lover. Sun Xiaorui wasn’t foolish; picking a quarrel with Chen Feng at this moment would only strain their relationship, effectively knocking herself out of the game. "So, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have left you for so long, allowing her to take advantage of the situation. But I had no choice, I had to go back to take care of my sick father. Seems like my luck is really bad. You have a girlfriend now, my chances of becoming official are even slimmer." Towards the end, Sun Xiaorui’s tone was quite dejected. Sometimes, women can gain a man’s favor by acting a bit foolish and submissive. While Sun Xiaorui was genuinely dejected, she wasn’t ready to concede. Chen Feng was a catch she had finally found, how could she easily hand him over to someone else? Whether Wu Mengting was just his girlfriend now, or even if they were married, what of it? In this day and age, isn’t infidelity and divorce common? "Though you hold some responsibility, the main issue lies with me." As a man, Chen Feng bravely owned up, his tone sincere as he self-reflected, "Mainly because I’m rather fickle, unable to hold firm to my principles. Originally, I was determined not to date her, but Mengting is so beautiful and pure, persistently pursuing me, an old man, confessing several times, it was truly hard for me to remain indifferent." Chen Feng patiently explained himself to Sun Xiaorui, which was significantly considerate.
