After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 871 - 467: Returning to a Steady Life

By the time they returned to Xiu Zhou, it was almost four-thirty in the afternoon.

After taking a refreshing shower and coming downstairs, Chen Feng saw Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, both of whom had already finished work.

Cohabiting with them again made Chen Feng feel at ease and comfortable in his heart.

The carefree life in Xiu Zhou was what he truly desired.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back today?"

Seeing Chen Feng return, Wu Mengting was naturally happy and asked with a smile.

"I just came back, what's there to say? How's the company doing lately?" Chen Feng changed the subject.

"Everything's going well at the company. 'Green Jade Case' is in the post-production phase, and Sister Lu is selecting films and dramas that we can invest in. She also thinks our company shouldn't start any new shooting projects for the time being."

"That's good." Chen Feng nodded and then turned to Sun Xiaorui, asking with some concern, "Little Rui, have you been getting used to being at home alone these past few days?"

Sun Xiaorui shook her head with a wry smile and said, "It's definitely a bit uncomfortable. Sleeping alone in such a big house at night is a bit scary."

Wu Mengting glanced at her and said, "The security measures here are pretty good, with 24-hour patrol and fully covered surveillance cameras. You really don't have to be afraid."

Hearing this, Sun Xiaorui just smiled without refuting anything.

Chen Feng switched the topic, saying, "Who wants to heat up the dishes? I'm starving and need to eat." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"I'll do it."

Sun Xiaorui willingly went to the kitchen to get busy.

Using the local dialect of Xiu Zhou, Wu Mengting directly asked Chen Feng, "When you came back this time, what did your mom say?"

Chen Feng asked back, "What could my mom say?"

Of course, he wouldn't say that his mom was pressuring him to marry, urging him to establish a relationship with Wu Mengting soon.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting couldn't help but ask directly, "Your mom wanted to meet my parents last time to discuss our matters. What are your thoughts on that?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I don't have any thoughts on it. Didn't we clarify it with my mom last time? This matter is up to us—first, we date as we originally agreed, and then we talk about other things."

Wu Mengting was, of course, not satisfied with his attitude, and she made it clear further, "I understand your concerns, but I really don't care about those things. Right now, I'm only concerned about your health and our relationship. I hope that, as we agreed back then, after becoming a couple, we can finalize our marriage before the end of the year. At the very least, we should get engaged. I can't keep following you without any status."

Chen Feng felt a headache coming on, knowing that he couldn't avoid this issue, so he continued with his delaying tactic, saying, "Isn't there still more than two months left? Let's talk about dating first when the time comes."

"More than two months will pass quickly. I hope by then you'll keep your word and not disappoint me again. I'm going to take a shower now."

After saying this, Wu Mengting got up from the sofa and went upstairs, her expression slightly displeased.

She's not a naive woman; over the past few months, she's increasingly noticed Chen Feng's heart becoming more and more unruly, no longer being bound by her. Naturally, this gave her a continuous sense of urgency and crisis.

But right now, there's nothing she can do, except remind Chen Feng from time to time, ensuring he understands their original agreement and fulfills it. Additionally, there's the underlying pressure to get married.

She knew that this approach might make Chen Feng resentful, but there was no other choice. If she didn't speak up and remind him occasionally, Chen Feng could very likely deny their agreement and deceive her, which she couldn't accept.

After Wu Mengting went upstairs, Chen Feng went to see Sun Xiaorui in the kitchen.

"Did you miss me these past few days?" Chen Feng asked with a smile as he leaned against the sliding door of the kitchen, watching Sun Xiaorui busy.

Sun Xiaorui was neither shy nor pretentious, she nodded openly and said with a smile, "I did."

Feeling a warm sensation in his heart, Chen Feng immediately said, "After we eat, let's go to the room."

Though Sun Xiaorui was straightforward, she was still a bit shy; her face flushed slightly, but she didn't say much, continuing her work, taking out a cabbage from the fridge and placing it near the sink. She was planning to add a dish.

Seeing the cabbage, Chen Feng suddenly remembered that his car's trunk was still full of various vegetables and dried seafood brought back from his hometown. In such hot weather, leaving them for too long wouldn't be good.

So, he mentioned it to Sun Xiaorui and went to the car parked outside the carport to move the stuff.

In the sweltering heat, a few trips left him drenched in sweat again.

Chen Feng went to the pool in the courtyard for a dip, had a swim in the nude for a few minutes, and came out of the pool, putting on a tank top and shorts again before entering the house.

By then, Sun Xiaorui had already cooked the cabbage and reheated the other dishes.

Seeing this, Chen Feng went to the kitchen, dished out some rice, and sat at the dining table, starting to eat right away.

"Aren't you waiting for Mengting?" Sun Xiaorui asked.

"I'm hungry, so I'll eat first. If you're not hungry, then eat with her."

His words were straightforward, but Sun Xiaorui didn't mind, as Chen Feng had always been this way.

After Chen Feng finished a bowl of rice, Wu Mengting came downstairs. Seeing that Chen Feng had already started eating, she didn't find it improper. Since Sun Xiaorui hadn't eaten either, she didn't feel disrespected.

When the three had dinner together, Chen Feng gave Sun Xiaorui a knowing look and headed upstairs by himself.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Sun Xiaorui followed up.

Chen Feng, who had been waiting, immediately went over to hug her, getting handsy.

Sun Xiaorui, slightly panting, said, "I've been working all day and I'm all sweaty. I need to take a shower first."

Chen Feng laughed cheekily and said, "Let's shower together then."

This time, Sun Xiaorui couldn't help but roll her eyes at him playfully, and then she was pulled into the bathroom by Chen Feng.

...

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui lay on a bed covered with an ice silk mat, air conditioning blowing, each holding their phones and browsing.

Chen Feng first looked at a few unread messages sent earlier from Fang Xiaoyue, Yu Xiaohui, Guo Mengyao, and Lin Yujiao.

Fang Xiaoyue and Yu Xiaohui were both asking if he was still in Lin Nan and if he was available to have a meal together.

Chen Feng sent a unified response to these two female classmates, stating that he had returned to Xiu Zhou.

Lin Yujiao said she had completed the recording work for the singing contest and planned to return to her hometown Lin Nan the next day, hoping to meet him then.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng replied to her, saying he had already returned to Xiu Zhou and suggested that if she wanted to meet him, she should stay for a couple more days before heading back.

Lin Yujiao, upon receiving Chen Feng's reply, agreed without much hesitation.

This time she brought her parents to Xiu Zhou, and since it was the second time, they didn't need her to accompany them back to their hometown. She could comfortably stay a couple more days in Xiu Zhou by herself.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Chen Feng promised to meet her the next morning.

Guo Mengyao's message was about him meeting her stepbrother the next day, to get acquainted, and, if the opportunity was right, persuade him to get a divorce.

Chen Feng had already agreed to do this before, so he had no objections now, immediately agreeing and saying he would meet her stepbrother by noon or evening tomorrow.
