After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 2025 Going Back on One's Promises

"What can I do if I can't bear to?" Chen Feng said helplessly. "I've already given her everything I could. If she expects me to cultivate my character and cut off all ties with other women, how is that possible? Don't you think so?"

Sun Xiaorui immediately defended Wu Mengting, saying, "She didn't actually want too much. After all, you gave her 10% of the company's shares before, how could she possibly want more? She's in a bad mood this time, and as I said, I would feel the same way if I were in her shoes. It's only natural. She can't be completely emotionless, can she? If you expect her to smile at you every day and be subservient to you, then she wouldn't be Wu Mengting. So don't ask too much of her."

Chen Feng smiled and reached out to touch her face, saying, "You're quite something, actually speaking up for her. Is it because she agreed to let you have her child?"

Sun Xiaorui was taken aback, then a little embarrassed, and said, "I can't say that there's no reason for that, but I'm just stating the facts. You know she's a person who loves and hates fiercely, and she's also quite strong-willed, so you can't keep pushing her boundaries. Although she's tacitly allowing you to date other women now, you can't put her last, and you certainly can't stand her up for other women. That's something she really dislikes."

Chen Feng readily agreed, nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll try my best in the future. But you all know my temper; I can't always go along with her. And with her strong personality, I'm worried that sooner or later we'll have some kind of conflict. So, sometimes I think, it's better to end it sooner rather than later. Of course, this is just a thought; if we really broke up, I might hesitate and feel reluctant. In the end, I still really like her."

Sun Xiaorui was a little speechless, but still offered some comfort: "I know that Mengting is the woman you love most, and no other woman can replace her. She holds a special place in your heart. That's why you gave her the title of girlfriend. If you really don't want to break up with her, don't say things like that to her in the future. It's okay if you tell me, but if you tell her, she might harden her heart and really break up with you. Then it might be extremely difficult for you to win her back. Mengting is a very decisive person; once she makes a decision, she won't regret it, just like when she chose to be with you. If she chooses to break up with you, I believe she won't look back. You must remember this."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me. Should we wake Mengting up so we can go shopping together? After all, I already promised you last night."

Sun Xiaorui said with some delight, "Are you serious? I was just saying that yesterday, and you're actually willing to go shopping with us today? I'll go wake Mengting up right away. It's getting late, she should get up."

After saying that, Sun Xiaorui stood up, then remembered something and turned to Chen Feng, saying, "By the way, you should go upstairs and change your clothes right away. I haven't seen this outfit of yours before. Did Xiao Panpan buy it for you?"

Chen Feng nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Sun Xiaorui didn't say much, but reminded her again, "Then you should hurry upstairs and change your clothes, so that Mengting doesn't find out and upset her again."

After saying this, Sun Xiaorui hurried upstairs to wake Wu Mengting up.

Chen Feng was somewhat guilty this time. Deep down, he was a little afraid of Wu Mengting. So, he stood up and quickly walked upstairs.

After Chen Feng returned to his room, changed his clothes, and tidied himself up in the bathroom, he came out of his room and went downstairs. The two women obviously wouldn't be downstairs anytime soon, so he waited in the living room, watching TV and scrolling through his phone.

Meanwhile, Sun Xiaorui arrived at Wu Mengting's bedroom, knocked on the door, turned the doorknob, and entered. Normally, she wouldn't have barged in like this. However, today was different, and Wu Mengting's bedroom door wasn't locked from the inside; she simply turned the doorknob and came in.

Entering the room, Wu Mengting was indeed still lying in bed. However, Sun Xiaorui's knocking had clearly woken her up, and she turned her head to look at her sleepily.

"Is there something you need?" Wu Mengting asked sleepily.

Sun Xiaorui smiled and said, "Last night I begged Brother Feng to take us shopping today, and he agreed. So get up early and get ready, let's go shopping together."

Wu Mengting suddenly came to her senses and asked in surprise, "He would agree to go shopping with us? What about his other women? Does he even have the time?"

Sun Xiaorui said with a smile, "How could that be fake? He's already waiting downstairs. Get up early, wash up and get ready, and we'll leave early. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go to that newly opened shopping mall, Huayue Plaza, which is a bit further away? We'll go there today."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting fully woke up. She immediately sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, threw off the covers, and got out of bed. As she put on her slippers, she said with some delight, "It seems our Brother Feng has had a change of heart. He actually has time to go shopping with us."

Sun Xiaorui defended Chen Feng, saying, "You can't say that. It's not like he hasn't gone shopping with us before. Actually, he spends most of his time with us. He doesn't spend much time with those other women. So don't be so jealous all the time. If it goes on too long and happens too often, he'll get annoyed."

Wu Mengting was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her and asked, "He told you? I gave him a hard time yesterday, and he got annoyed with me? He contacted us first yesterday, urging us to go home, but when we got home, he wasn't there. If he had told us beforehand, I wouldn't have been so angry."

He completely disrespected us this time, didn't you notice? If this continues, he'll only become more disrespectful and disregard both of us. Eventually, he might escalate his behavior, even staying out all night and spending the night at other women's houses. It's a gradual process. I can't let him keep pushing his luck like this, do you understand what I mean? We're on the same side, you have to stand by me. You don't want him staying out all night and frequently spending the night outside, do you?

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaorui immediately became alert and nodded, saying, "You're right. We really can't let our guard down. Sometimes, you do need to give him a hard time, but not too much. You know, he's getting more and more money, so naturally, his ego is getting a bit inflated. Plus, with his rising status, he'll become increasingly concerned about his image and whether we respect him. So, most of the time, you definitely shouldn't give him the cold shoulder or show him any disrespect. Doing so won't intimidate him; it will only make him resent you."

Wu Mengting sighed softly and said, "I'd rather he didn't have much money. I even regret making our company bigger and stronger. Because the more money he has, the more arrogant he becomes. We would be the same; that's human nature. But we really can't let him continue to have affairs. Otherwise, we'll slowly become his playthings. In that case, what's the difference between us and those women who are with him because of his money, or even have his children?"

Sun Xiaorui advised her, "Your thinking is correct. But your approach is indeed a bit wrong. You can't keep going against him. You need to use your feelings and tenderness to influence him and keep him close. You need to use gentleness to overcome strength, not strength to overcome strength. Otherwise, you will both get hurt, and it will be a lose-lose situation, and you may end up breaking up." Wu Mengting pouted and said, "I can't be that kind of gentle, charming, clingy little woman. If I become that kind of canary woman, then I'm not myself."

Sun Xiaorui explained, “I’m not asking you to be his caged bird. What I mean is that you should use gentleness to overcome strength. You should use your love and tenderness to soften him and win him over.”

Wu Mengting shook her head with a wry smile and said, "You really overestimate me. If I could soften him and win him over, he wouldn't be so promiscuous now."

Sun Xiaorui said, "You've already captured him, otherwise he wouldn't have offered 10% of the company's shares to try and trap you. He did that because he doesn't want you to leave him."

Wu Mengting continued to shake her head, saying, "If he had truly been captivated by me, he would have listened to me and broken up with those sluts one by one, instead of like this now, with one after another bearing his children. So, we can't fall behind. You must work hard and try to give him a son too. Only then can he truly realize that our home is a home, not just a place for him to sleep and live."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaorui couldn't help but say, "I can't guarantee that I'll have a son. What if I have a daughter? So, to be on the safe side, I think you should work hard with me. That way, the chances of us having a son will be much higher."

Of course, Wu Mengting couldn't tell the truth that her body was unusual and that she had difficulty getting pregnant. She simply said, "I don't really want a child right now. If I have a child, I won't be able to manage things at the company. Wouldn't I then become like those other women, his kept canary and breeding tool? I don't want to be that kind of person."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaorui couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment. She thought to herself, "You're implying I'm included in your words. Do you see me as nothing more than a caged bird and a breeding machine?" Fortunately, she was already used to Wu Mengting's bluntness and the various reprimands Wu Mengting had given her in the past.

Therefore, she didn't feel particularly hurt. However, she also lost interest in continuing the conversation about this topic.

Then she urged, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and go wash up, brush your teeth, change your clothes, and then we'll go downstairs and go shopping. That's it. I'll go to my room to put on some makeup and change my clothes."

After saying that, she turned and went out.

Seeing her leave in a hurry, Wu Mengting finally realized that she might have said something wrong. Now she had also categorized Sun Xiaorui as Chen Feng's kept canary and breeding tool.

Although that was indeed what she thought, it was inappropriate to say it aloud, especially in front of the other person. After all, Sun Xiaorui was now an ally and good friend she was trying hard to win over, and she would definitely have to be more careful with her words in the future, and couldn't keep setting rules for Sun Xiaorui like before.

After composing herself, Wu Mengting immediately went to the bathroom to wash up.

After scrolling through his phone in the living room for a few minutes, Chen Feng received a video call from Liu Ying. Since there was no one around, he answered easily. Liu Ying immediately said, "Do you have time to come over now? Our daughter seems to have diarrhea. I need to take her to the hospital. Why don't you come along? Our darling daughter misses you."

Upon hearing that his beloved daughter had diarrhea, Chen Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately asked with concern, "Is the diarrhea severe? Does she have a fever? Did she eat something bad?"

Liu Ying said, "I don't know either. Maybe she caught a chill from the air conditioning yesterday and her stomach got cold. After all, the nanny takes care of her, and she sleeps with the nanny at night. But it's normal for her stomach to get a little cold in this weather. Why don't you come over here? I need to take her to the hospital with the nanny right away. Could you come over here for a moment?"

Chen Feng was immediately torn. He was naturally very worried about his precious daughter. But he had promised Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting that they would go shopping together. And just 10 minutes ago, he had urged Sun Xiaorui to wake Wu Mengting up so the three of them could go shopping together.

If he goes back on his word again now, and then stands them up last night, it seems a bit too much.

“I have something to do today and can’t go right now. Anyway, the hospital is right next door, so you and the nanny can take your daughter to get checked out. It should be fine. Don’t be too worried.”

Chen Feng ultimately decided to keep his promise to Sun Wu and the other two women and not stand them up again.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Ying immediately became displeased and brought her daughter into the frame: "Look, our precious daughter didn't eat much this morning, and her complexion isn't good either. We have to take her to the hospital right away. If you're free, come over. Of course, if you really can't, I won't force you. Our daughter should be fine. Okay, I have to go now, I'm hanging up."

After saying that, Liu Ying unusually hung up the video call on her own initiative. This was truly a bit of a reversal of the natural order.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, was somewhat bewildered and filled with inner turmoil. (End of Chapter)
