Chapter 1341: Chapter 697: The Blossoming of Purple Sandalwood

"You said it yourself, if I can persuade my parents, you should not go back on your word."

Chen Feng immediately cornered her with his words.

Although previously her parents, especially his mom, insisted that he get engaged to Wu Mengting by the end of the year, he believed that if he pleaded with his mom shamelessly, she would eventually agree to postpone the engagement.

However, Wu Mengting seemed very confident as well. After hearing Chen Feng’s words, she smiled and said, "Alright, as long as your parents agree to postpone our wedding, I definitely won’t oppose."

"Great, as long as you don’t go back on your word."

Chen Feng believed that if he could stall until this year ends, it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to find a way to continue stalling next year. After all, by then, he’d already be a father of two, and he believed that if he persisted, his parents likely wouldn’t force him to get engaged or married.

As for stalling yet another year, Chen Feng hadn’t thought that far ahead. The priority was to stall through this year first.

"Seems like you’re quite confident in persuading your parents."

Wu Mengting teased as she looked at Chen Feng.

"You seem quite confident too?" Chen Feng smiled back and then suddenly realized something, his face slightly changed, and he quickly asked, "Did you already contact my mom in advance?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting chuckled smugly and nodded emphatically, saying, "Yes. This afternoon, before you came over, I contacted your mom. I talked about Hong Xiaodan and Liu Ying, and your mom was very embarrassed and ashamed, apologized to me on your behalf, and earnestly pleaded with me not to break up with you."

Damn it! It’s a type of plant.

Chen Feng felt that he still underestimated Wu Mengting’s intelligence; she had him thoroughly calculated from the start.

She’s undoubtedly smart; otherwise, she wouldn’t have managed to get into East Sea University. But many men don’t particularly like women who are too intelligent, including Chen Feng.

He used to not mind this much, but as she joined Fengmang Film and Television Company, showing her strong woman aura and capabilities, Chen Feng increasingly felt a sense of pressure from her.

This woman is exceptionally capable! First, it was the company’s financial management skills, which she mastered in a few months and managed excellently.

Then it was her scriptwriting ability, television production skills — with "Green Jade Case," a destined hit drama, she definitely has become a renowned producer in the industry.

This has made Fengmang Film and Television Company somewhat dependent on her.

Thus, Chen Feng harbored a conflicting inner sentiment — liking her beauty and intelligence, yet repulsed by her assertiveness and scheming.

"What did you say to my mom?" Chen Feng asked with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Hong Xiaodan’s pregnancy was known by his parents earlier, and they were involved in negotiations with the Hong family, but Liu Ying’s pregnancy was completely unknown to them.

Now, hearing this news from Wu Mengting, Chen Feng could foresee how furious they would be.

Yet, his parents hadn’t called him to reprimand him, indicating that Wu Mengting had said something to them.

"I told them I was very conflicted and hurt right now, considering whether to break up with you seriously. Your mom said she only recognizes me as her daughter-in-law; she wouldn’t acknowledge other women and wouldn’t let them into your family. She hopes I can forgive you and give you another chance. I said I would give you a chance to make amends, but whether you can seize it, I’m uncertain."

Chen Feng curiously asked, "What amends opportunity?"

Wu Mengting smiled and said, "Your mom asked me the same thing at the time. I just said, as long as you can show me that you care about me, like me, and are willing to do something that touches me for my sake, I might forgive you. But all of this must be voluntary. At that time, I let your parents assure me not to communicate with you in advance; otherwise, I would flip out, and they both agreed. Now tell me the truth, did your parents talk to you secretly?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chen Feng immediately shook his head in denial: "Of course not. If I knew in advance, I couldn’t have acted so naturally in front of you, and wouldn’t have said what I did just now."

Wu Mengting nodded and said, "I also believe they didn’t talk to you secretly; otherwise, your acting skills would be too good."

Chen Feng asked, "So, my initiative to come and accompany you here counts as an amends opportunity?"

Wu Mengting shook her head: "This is just a beginning. You still need to do something next; otherwise, I still can’t fully forgive you."

Chen Feng felt speechless and thought, you’re not even my girlfriend, and if I’ve had kids with other women, it doesn’t seem like your business. No need to seek your forgiveness.

Yet, Chen Feng still followed her lead and asked, "Then what do you want me to do next?"

Wu Mengting raised her charming eyebrows at him: "That depends on your own thoughts and sincerity."

The way she spoke and behaved truly grasped the female powerhouse aura, unlike when Chen Feng first met her, miss the adorable and innocent side.

Of course, Chen Feng isn’t easily managed either, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "From your words, it seems like you want me to compensate you with my body?"

Wu Mengting, after all, was still a virgin young lady, and she couldn’t quite handle Chen Feng’s blunt words, her face turned red, and she shot him a glance, saying: "Can you only think with your lower body?"

Chen Feng wasn’t embarrassed and smiled, saying, "Haven’t you always wanted to be my woman? Compensating you with my body to seek your forgiveness just fulfills your wish."

Wu Mengting pretended to be calm and casually said, "That’s only a small token of sincerity; big sincerity requires your own thought."

Chen Feng slightly squinted his eyes and smiled, asking, "Is it about money? How much do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting gave him an angry glare and chastised, "What kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I care about your stinking money? I already have money myself."

That’s indeed true; Wu Mengting already has a fortune of millions due to her royalty income.

Chen Feng grew a bit impatient and directly said, "What exactly do you want me to do? Just say it outright, don’t make me guess."

Seeing this, Wu Mengting directly said: "It’s straightforward. If you’re really sincere, then sever the relationships with Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan. When I say ’relationship,’ I mean the romantic ties between you and them. As for the children they’ll give birth to, I haven’t asked you to sever ties with them. You can continue interacting with them as ordinary friends, but mainly because of the children, not because of them."

After a deliberate hesitation, Chen Feng slowly said, "With Hong Xiaodan, I’ll gradually end the relationship after she gives birth to the child. Any future interaction will also be only because of the child. With Liu Ying, it’s a bit more complicated. Her newborn child is going to carry my name, and I’ve already promised her to raise the child together."
