Chapter 1344: Chapter 698: Gentleman (Part 2)

Wu Mengting blushed and said, "Give me some time, also, I don’t want to give myself to you in the hotel. It’s best to wait until we return to Xiu Zhou and find a suitable opportunity."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "But over there in Xiu Zhou, we have Sun Xiaorui acting as a third wheel."

Wu Mengting raised an eyebrow too and said, "If you find her annoying, I wouldn’t oppose you breaking up with her and kicking her out."

Chen Feng was speechless: "Aren’t you supposed to be good sisters? Yet you’re saying this."

Wu Mengting mocked, "Didn’t you know we’re just fair-weather friends?"

Indeed, there was truth in those words.

Although Wu Mengting was courteous to Sun Xiaorui, and they worked together quite harmoniously, after all, Sun Xiaorui was Chen Feng’s kept mistress, so Wu Mengting didn’t necessarily think highly of her.

And although Sun Xiaorui acted submissively around Wu Mengting, she wasn’t necessarily genuinely respectful.

They truly were just fair-weather friends.

"Alright, let’s not talk about her. I’ll just get another room."

"No, I’ll feel scared if I stay alone in the hotel."

"If I crawl into your bed in the middle of the night, don’t blame me."

"I won’t blame you."

"...Alright, if you don’t want to, I certainly won’t force you, even if people laugh at me for being worse than a beast."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting finally smiled: "I knew you cared for me."

Chen Feng shook his head and urged, "Hurry up and take a shower."

"Okay, I’ll go right away."

Having biked over ten kilometers back, she was feeling uncomfortable all over, so she immediately went to take a bath upon hearing this.

Watching her enter the bathroom, then the click of the bathroom door being locked from the inside, left Chen Feng somewhat speechless.

Clearly, she still didn’t trust him.

He headed directly to the single bed, picked up his phone, and looked at several unread messages, most from his other women. Unless it was something urgent, Chen Feng generally didn’t reply.

Among these women, Chen Feng only responded to Yu Xiaohui, who reported on serious matters.

Currently, his jewelry store staff was all hired, including the store manager Song Xinjia, whom Chen Feng had specifically named. With a slight salary increase, Yu Xiaohui had successfully recruited her.

Next, training these people was necessary.

According to Zhao Shengsheng’s headquarters, it was best to conduct a month-long internal training. The trainers would be dispatched from their headquarters.

As for the training location, Yu Xiaohui directly chose the Yujing Hotel’s conference room rather than opting for a place with cheaper rent.

Chen Feng affirmed this decision and praised her a bit.

Besides, Yu Xiaohui asked if his parents should be invited to join the internal training since one was the deputy manager and the other the head of security. Participating seemed necessary.

Chen Feng was hesitant to contact his parents now, so he said to discuss it in a few days.

Yu Xiaohui felt somewhat disappointed seeing Chen Feng’s response, as she hoped to meet Chen Feng’s parents early and build a good relationship.

After briefly responding to Yu Xiaohui, Chen Feng rarely had free time, so he scrolled through short videos and novels.

It wasn’t until over half an hour passed that Wu Mengting emerged from the bathroom.

She wore a rather traditional outfit, a long-sleeved T-shirt on top and five-quarter shorts underneath, looking quite casual and natural.

"How about we return tomorrow?"

Wu Mengting suddenly suggested to Chen Feng.

"You’re done playing?" Chen Feng looked at her in surprise.

"I mainly came to explore the ancient alleys here, and I’ve fulfilled that wish. I’m too lazy to visit other attractions; I’d rather return to Xiu Zhou early. There’s still a pile of work waiting for me at the company."

Chen Feng laughed, "With a diligent employee like you, I’ll laugh in my sleep as the boss."

Wu Mengting also laughed, "Then when will you give me a raise?"

"I’ll give you a raise as soon as we return," Chen Feng replied cheerfully.

Wu Mengting said, "Forget it, I’m just saying. I’m already very content with the current salary and commission."

She was truly content, as she was already earning millions.

Chen Feng said seriously, "You can ask for a raise anytime, and I’ll approve it."

Wu Mengting asked back, "What if I want company shares, will you give them to me?"

Chen Feng hesitated only briefly before nodding, "Of course, I’ll give you 5% shares, not just dividend shares but also original shares, with voting rights, given directly from me."

"Are you really willing?" Wu Mengting doubted.

Chen Feng laughed, "Certainly willing. I told your dad that I’d give you ten million a year, and I truly meant it."

"Sigh, although tempted, I’m hesitant to accept. After all, I’m not your wife yet; if I were, I could accept your share transfer with peace of mind."

Chen Feng didn’t respond to this but merely smiled and said, "It’s a pity if you don’t want them now, but I respect your choice."

Wu Mengting glanced at him, "I see you lack sincerity."

Chen Feng laughed, "I’m full of sincerity, but you’re afraid of pain, so you didn’t accept."

Wu Mengting blushed at this, feeling shy, and teased, "You’re really sharp-tongued."

Chen Feng feigned innocence, "But I’m just speaking honestly."

"I’m ignoring you."

Wu Mengting pretended to be angry, walked over and sat on her single bed, turning her back to Chen Feng.

This amused Chen Feng; it was rare that Wu Mengting was more relaxed with him now.

Chen Feng didn’t bother her and continued scrolling on his phone.

A few minutes later, Wu Mengting couldn’t hold back and asked, "You haven’t said if you agree to return tomorrow."

Chen Feng replied, "If you want to return, then we will. I’ll definitely go with you."

Wu Mengting smiled, "That’s good. We’ll fly back to Lu City tomorrow morning, then drive to Xiu Zhou. Any objections?"

"Alright, what do you plan to eat tonight? Let’s have the hotel send something over."

"Anything, I’m not really hungry. We ate lots of snacks while wandering this afternoon."

"Have some anyway. I’ll just order shrimp with scrambled eggs and two bowls of porridge, okay?"

"Sounds good, no objections."

So, Chen Feng used the room’s landline to order these.

Being a five-star hotel, they delivered promptly, within about ten minutes.

The two each took a bowl of porridge then ate the shrimp with scrambled eggs.

"When we return, don’t tell Sun Xiaorui about us," Wu Mengting warned Chen Feng with a cautious look.

"Don’t worry, I won’t."

...

After finishing the porridge, they watched TV together for a while. Since neither slept well last night and spent the day playing, they were tired, and with mutual understanding yawned, turned off the TV, and went to sleep.

Initially, Chen Feng lay down and soon fell asleep.

He was only woken by the urge to pee, got up, and went to the bathroom.

When he returned, the dim bedside lamp revealed Wu Mengting’s two delicate bare feet outside the blanket, slender, exquisite, white, and smooth, tempting Chen Feng to touch them.

Chen Feng went ahead and did so, reaching out to stroke her lovely feet, then pulled the blanket over them, yawning, switched off the bedside lamp, and returned to his single bed.

A moment later, originally asleep, Wu Mengting slightly opened her eyes, glancing over at Chen Feng; in the dim room, only his silhouette was visible.

Seeing he was motionless, soon light snores sounded, leaving Wu Mengting somewhat irritated.

She had woken when Chen Feng turned on the light.

Unconsciously, she deliberately exposed her bare feet outside the covers, adjusting her sleeping position to appear slightly bold. Despite wearing a T-shirt, she emphasized her chest to a noticeable scale, hoping Chen Feng would see it upon returning from the bathroom and perhaps unleash his instinct.

In the end, Chen Feng saw but only touched her feet, pulled the blanket over, and went back to sleep.

His behavior truly was as he joked before, worse than a beast.
