After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 917 - 490: The Cousin Arrives

Jin Xinyan was silent for a while, and eventually shook her head, saying, "No. Last night Lu Lu invited me out shopping, and I didn't know beforehand that she would bring her cousin along."

Although Chen Feng didn't have any real feelings for Jin Xinyan, since they had been together before, if she suddenly started dating another man without informing him they were "breaking up," he would definitely be a bit upset.

Not quite to the extent of feeling betrayed, but it was uncomfortable nonetheless.

Now, getting her response, though expected, made him somewhat satisfied.

"We talked about this before, that if we ever got tired of each other, we would let the other person know in advance, and then part ways peacefully.

The key is to inform each other beforehand, not to keep the other in the dark."

Chen Feng said this frankly in front of the two women.

Jin Xinyan didn't expect Chen Feng to speak so bluntly to her in front of Yang Wenqi.

Although Yang Wenqi already knew about her and Chen Feng, hearing Chen Feng say it like that in front of Yang Wenqi did make her feel a bit embarrassed.

However, since Chen Feng had already said this, she could only look embarrassed, a bit stubborn and aggrieved as she said, "I never said I wanted to break up with you. It's always been you who has been ignoring me, and I never thought of leaving you."

Jin Xinyan certainly didn't want to break up with Chen Feng; she had given her most precious things to him, and Chen Feng was the most captivating and outstanding man she had ever met, so how could she give up easily?

So, seeing Chen Feng unhappy and even talking about breaking up, she didn't dare get angry anymore, and she didn't care about Yang Wenqi being there.

Chen Feng felt satisfied with her response; after all, Jin Xinyan was a first-class beauty, and her personality had been good before, not needing him to financially support her, though he did give her quite a few benefits.

In short, his experience with her so far had been pleasant, and he didn't have any intention to break up with her for now.

If they could continue their previous relationship, Chen Feng certainly didn't plan to part ways just yet.

"Alright then, whenever you grow tired, just let me know in advance."

Chen Feng finished talking and lowered his head to drink his coffee.

Jin Xinyan didn't know what to say for a moment. There were some things she couldn't say in front of Yang Wenqi, this third wheel. She even wanted to bluntly ask Yang Wenqi to leave for a moment.

Yet it was hard to voice it out; she hoped Yang Wenqi would understand and leave on her own.

But unfortunately, Yang Wenqi didn't seem to realize she was a huge third wheel, making Jin Xinyan somewhat annoyed.

"Boss, I think you're being unfair to Xinyan." Yang Wenqi broke the silence.

Chen Feng glanced at her but said nothing.

Seeing Chen Feng ignore her twice, Yang Wenqi couldn't hold it in anymore.

Her boldness in speaking to Chen Feng came from their extraordinary relationship; last time, if there hadn't been an accident, she would almost have been his woman.

Having shared such intimacy, and with them not being in the company now, she naturally didn't maintain the previous awe towards her boss.

Moreover, after that incident, Chen Feng had been ignoring her. She had tried to ask him out several times, only to be rejected and ignored, and when she flirted with him on WeChat, there was no response.

Her confidence and self-esteem took a big hit, and her grievances towards him only deepened over time.

Previously, due to filming and the company's unfinished product, she had to hold back her resentment, but now that "Green Jade Case" was completed, her concerns lessened significantly.

Seeing Jin Xinyan with him now brought back all those pent-up emotions.

However, she was still rational, and Chen Feng was still her boss. Her contract with Fengmang Film and Television Company was binding, so she managed not to explode at Chen Feng, suppressing her negative feelings, and continued, "Xinyan likes you so much, never demanding anything, not even your money, being wholly devoted to you, and yet you often ignore her. Don't you think you're being a bit unfair and cold?"

Her words, while ostensibly defending Jin Xinyan, were also for herself. She also wasn't after Chen Feng's money; she only hoped he would wholly support her, making her famous.

Up until now, she remained untouched by others, without shifting her affections, devoted only to Chen Feng.

Hearing this, Chen Feng finally seriously looked at her for a moment, then glanced at Jin Xinyan, seeing her looking at him with melancholy eyes, he said, "From the beginning, I told you. I can't promise you anything, and your efforts may not necessarily result in returns. You said you were willing to take the chance back then, don't tell me you can't handle losing now?"

Jin Xinyan lowered her gaze, avoiding Chen Feng's direct look, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Back then, I only had a good impression of you and wasn't so emotionally invested, so I spoke lightly. Your recent coldness towards me has left me uneasy and tormented..."

"Alright. Let's not talk about this." Chen Feng interrupted her, "If you become that kind of hesitant, pretentious, and indecisive woman, you're not the type I like. I know now isn't the real you. I like the old you—efficient, optimistic, outgoing, and gracious Jin Xinyan."

Jin Xinyan was momentarily speechless. She also wanted to revert to the former decisive, heroic Jin Xinyan, but amidst her emotional entanglements, she got increasingly lost and found it hard to be her true self.

Love is the most damaging, most tormenting force, leading you to lose yourself.

"It's easy for you to say; you can remain cold and unfeeling. But she has poured sincere feelings into you from the start." Yang Wenqi spoke on behalf of Jin Xinyan.

This time, Chen Feng finally responded to Yang Wenqi, "This is between her and me. Why should an outsider like you meddle? Don't think that just because we almost slept together, you can say whatever you like in front of me."

Upon these words, both women across him widened their eyes in shock.

Yang Wenqi didn't expect Chen Feng to reveal such a secret of theirs in front of Jin Xinyan.

Shocked and a bit panicked, she realized she had somewhat betrayed trust. Although Jin Xinyan wanted to be with Chen Feng, even though he had women besides Jin Xinyan, he wasn't entirely her boyfriend in the traditional sense.

She instinctively wanted to deny it, but eventually held back; not only was it true, but Chen Feng was still her boss. Denying the truth before him could lead to consequences down the road.
