The next day was another beautiful day. During his morning run, Chen Feng ran into Xiao Panpan as expected.

Xiao Panpan greeted Chen Feng with a big smile, but Chen Feng simply nodded and went about his warm-up exercises. After warming up, he began his daily run. This time, he only ran three laps before stopping and walking slowly, which Xiao Panpan could barely keep up with.

After Chen Feng stopped, she stopped as well, panting heavily as she followed beside him. After catching her breath for a while, she took the initiative to invite him, "I've already prepared breakfast. You can come and eat with me now so it doesn't get cold."

Chen Feng gave her a dismissive look and said, "I won't be eating at your place today. Also, are you and Dai Sixian very close now?"

Xiao Panpan paused for a moment before replying, "I already told you, I know her, but we're not very close. We're just so-so. Why are you suddenly asking about her?"

Chen Feng asked directly, "Did you tell her that I was returning to China?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Panpan immediately became a little nervous and said softly, "Yes. It happened yesterday morning. I was bored and went to the supermarket, and that's when I ran into her. Actually, we didn't have much to say, but out of politeness, I chatted with her for a bit. Since we both know you, we naturally started talking about you, and I casually mentioned that you went abroad for a while and just got back. Is there anything wrong with saying that?"

Chen Feng knew that there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Panpan said. He knew that Xiao Panpan hadn't meant to leak the news of his return to China to Dai Sixian, but he was still a little unhappy, or rather, he wanted to use it as an excuse to make a fuss.

He was already annoyed by Xiao Panpan's constant pestering, insisting on running with him every day and inviting him to breakfast. Adding to the mix was Dai Sixian, who was undoubtedly a potential problem for him. To be a bit of a jerk, he'd already had his fun. He actually wanted to gradually break things off with Dai Sixian to avoid unnecessary trouble. But now, Dai Sixian was in a similar situation to Xiao Panpan, clearly also trying to harass him, which made Chen Feng even more unhappy.

One was already bothering him, and now that another one was about to be added, Chen Feng was naturally even more annoyed. So this time, he wanted to take the opportunity to give the other party a warning, hoping to make them break off the relationship with him on their own.

At that moment, Chen Feng coldly reprimanded Xiao Panpan: "From now on, don't casually tell others about my personal privacy, including my schedule. Although I know you didn't mean it, don't just tell others things like I've returned to China or gone abroad."

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Xiao Panpan felt a pang of grievance, but she still obediently nodded and admitted her mistake, saying, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I promise I won't reveal your whereabouts again, and I won't talk about you with anyone else."

Chen Feng snorted coldly and continued with a cold face, "Also, don't bother me every day anymore. It's fine to go for a run together occasionally, but now that you're bothering me to run with you every day, everyone in this neighborhood has seen it. How could they not notice? Can't you be a little more mindful of your image?"

Xiao Panpan felt even more aggrieved upon hearing this, and her eyes reddened slightly. Her voice trembled as she said, "We didn't just start running together now. We've been running together for months, and no one in the neighborhood has said anything. They just treat us as friends. Besides, people in our neighborhood don't gossip about others behind their backs."

Chen Feng frowned and said, "Anyway, I don't like it. From now on, don't run with me every day. You'll only annoy me more and more, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Panpan burst into tears, her face full of grievance as she said, "I can only see you at this time every day. Is it wrong for me to want to see you? It's just about running together and saying a few words. It's not like I have to make you come to my place for breakfast every day. I've never forced you to come if you don't want to."

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng became even more annoyed. He coldly emphasized again, "Anyway, I don't like it, you understand? From now on, when I go for a run every morning, even if you see me, it's best not to run with me every day. At most, just greet each other politely. If I want to have breakfast at your place, I'll tell you. That's it, don't bother me anymore."

After saying this, Chen Feng quickened his pace and walked towards his villa without looking back. Xiao Panpan immediately felt wronged and her eyes welled up with tears. She wanted to chase after him, but she didn't dare, afraid that Chen Feng would find her even more annoying. She could only stand there with teary eyes, watching Chen Feng walk away.

After reprimanding Xiao Panpan, Chen Feng didn't feel much guilt. He hadn't really taken her seriously to begin with; it was Xiao Panpan who pursued him from the start, and they had agreed that it was just a fling, so Chen Feng hadn't taken her seriously at all.

Adding to the fact that her father's situation had made him somewhat dislike her. Now, she had inadvertently leaked the news of her return to China to Dai Sixian, which, although it hadn't caused him any harm, still made Chen Feng a little unhappy.

Therefore, Chen Feng's reprimand of her this time cannot be said to be entirely an excuse.

When Chen Feng returned home, he saw Wu Mengting, who had gotten up early, and Sun Xiaorui, too. The three of them ate breakfast together, and then Wu Mengting set off to drive to the Hengdian film set.

It's quite a distance from here to Hengdian. So, Chen Feng was still somewhat worried about her safety.

However, Wu Mengting's driving skills are quite good, and she has never had a traffic accident. Moreover, before Chen Feng put her in the car, he used his precognitive ability to make sure she was not in any danger before he felt relieved.

As soon as Wu Mengting left, Sun Xiaorui went to work at the company. For the next period of time, Wu Mengting would be staying with the film crew, so theoretically Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui could have some alone time again.

Actually, Sun Xiaorui was quite happy inside, and she was in a good mood when she went to work.

After Sun Xiaorui left, Chen Feng went to the training room on the first floor to absorb the special energy from the dragon-patterned jade pendant, and then he meditated.

Meanwhile, back at her villa, Xiao Panpan lost her appetite and sat alone in the living room, wiping away tears. After a while, she gradually calmed down. She immediately picked up her phone and called Dai Sixian. The call was answered shortly. Before Xiao Panpan could say anything, Dai Sixian spoke first, asking with some surprise, "Panpan, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Is something wrong?"

Suppressing her anger, Xiao Panpan asked, "What exactly did you say to Chen Feng? Or what did you do? This morning while we were jogging, he suddenly started talking about me, saying I shouldn't have told others about his whereabouts. Tell me the truth, what exactly did you do to him?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Dai Sixian finally came to her senses. A slight smirk appeared on her lips as she said, somewhat teasingly, "What could I possibly do to a grown man like him?"

Xiao Panpan asked directly, "Then why did he get angry at me? You must have done or said something to him that made him so angry."

Dai Sixian's eyes darted around, then she suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, I didn't want to say this, but we're kind of in the same boat now, so I'll tell you the truth. I slept with him too, just like you. I admit I seduced him, but I succeeded in seducing him, it's that simple. Maybe he regretted it afterwards, which is why he took his anger out on you. I'm sorry."

Upon hearing Dai Sixian's words, Xiao Panpan was immediately stunned and remained speechless for a long time.

Dai Sixian clearly knew that Xiao Panpan was shocked by the news she had just told her, so she sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I admit I have some bad woman tendencies. But you know, Chen Feng is just too attractive. I was drawn to him without realizing it, and then I couldn't help but flirt with him. I only wanted to play around with him, but he couldn't resist my seduction, and we naturally ended up... you know. I regretted it afterwards, and he obviously regretted it too, which is why he took it out on you."

Xiao Panpan finally came to her senses, and she was even angrier, but reason told her that the two of them were indeed somewhat in the same boat. Besides, she wasn't Chen Feng's girlfriend, so frankly, she didn't have the right to be angry with Dai Sixian. But she was still a little annoyed, after all, it was because of Dai Sixian that Chen Feng had lost his temper with her, and her eyes were almost swollen from crying.

Xiao Panpan could only grit her teeth slightly and ask, "I remember you should have a boyfriend, right? How could you do such a thing? How can you do this to your boyfriend?"

Dai Sixian said calmly, "I broke up with that bastard a long time ago and I'm single again now."

Xiao Panpan wasn't surprised by this, but she still gritted her teeth and asked, "I remember you and Zhang Jingwen are good friends, best friends, right? Do you think doing this is fair to Zhang Jingwen?"

Dai Sixian sighed deeply again, looking helpless, and said, "I admit that doing this is a bit unfair to Wenwen, but I just made a mistake that many women in the world make. And at most, I'm only half responsible, because I really just wanted to joke with him at first, to try and seduce him a little. But he couldn't resist being seduced, what could I do? After all, he's really handsome and charming, isn't he? Besides, you should know that Wenwen isn't his girlfriend, and he's not Wenwen's boyfriend. So, I can't say that I betrayed or betrayed Wenwen. I believe that if Wenwen knew, she would forgive me."

Xiao Panpan sneered, "You're shameless! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Even if Zhang Jingwen isn't his girlfriend, she's still his woman. So, you're stealing your best friend's boyfriend!"

These words were certainly harsh. Dai Sixian frowned, her tone turning cold, and said, "Xiao Panpan, what right do you have to criticize me? You know perfectly well that Chen Feng has his own girlfriend and many female confidantes, yet you still shamelessly clung to him. Do you think I don't know? Now that Chen Feng has said a few words to you, you feel wronged? With your attitude, you might as well back off now and break up with Chen Feng. Otherwise, you'll suffer later."

Xiao Panpan retorted, "No matter what, I would never steal my best friend's man."

Dai Sixian laughed angrily: "Fine, you're great! But no matter how great you are, you don't even qualify to be Chen Feng's mistress. So, don't try to attack me here. Even if you defeat me, it won't do you any good, will it?"

Hearing her say that, Xiao Panpan realized what she meant and frowned, asking, "Who told you to deliberately say something like that to provoke me? Do you think having a relationship with Chen Feng is something to be proud of?"

Dai Sixian said, "The reason I brought this up with you is because I feel we're in the same boat and are natural allies. Don't you think so?"

Xiao Panpan frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you implying that you want to form an alliance with me? If we were to form an alliance, how could you help me?"

Dai Sixian said jokingly, "Actually, whether I form an alliance with you or not doesn't really matter to me. I just feel that we've known each other before and are somewhat in the same boat, so I wanted to bring you in. But in reality, you're no use to me. My best friend Wenwen is my true ally. Do you understand? I don't need you, but you need me and Wenwen. Unless you want to break up with Chen Feng sooner, I think joining us is the wisest thing to do."

Xiao Panpan asked with some surprise, "If Zhang Jingwen knew that you slept with her man, she would definitely cut ties with you immediately. How could she possibly become your ally?"

Dai Sixian laughed and said, "You don't understand. Didn't I just remind you? Wenwen isn't Chen Feng's girlfriend, and Chen Feng isn't her boyfriend. Wenwen is just one of his many female confidantes, and she's not even that important. But without a doubt, her position in Chen Feng's heart is far greater than yours, and you can't deny it."

Besides, you wouldn't understand the bond between Wenwen and me. We've known each other since childhood; we're practically sisters. And I already warned Wenwen beforehand. I told her a long time ago that I found Chen Feng very attractive and charming. I asked her if she would mind if something happened between me and Chen Feng. As you might have guessed, Wenwen said she wouldn't mind at all; in fact, she'd probably be happy. Because two people together are definitely stronger than one, do you understand what I mean?”

After a pause, Dai Sixian continued, "That's why I want you to join us. The three of us together will definitely be stronger than two people. Although your individual strength is insignificant, we all know each other, and we're all locals from Xiuzhou. That's a prerequisite for natural allies. Otherwise, if you go it alone, you'll never be able to occupy a significant position in Chen Feng's heart. And don't forget his female confidantes. I've learned a little about them, and I'm sure many of them have formed alliances. For example, those two women who have already given birth to his children—as far as I know, they live in the same neighborhood. They've definitely formed an alliance. If you're still thinking of going it alone, I think Chen Feng will definitely dump you soon!"

After hearing her words, Xiao Panpan, though unwilling to admit it, had to acknowledge that she was right. Therefore, after a brief silence, she asked, "If I join you, will you help me improve my standing in Chen Feng's eyes?"

Dai Sixian smiled and said, "That's for sure, but it's unlikely to be effective on your own. But if the three of us work together, the effect will be tremendous. You should understand that, right?" (End of Chapter)
