Chapter 138: Chapter 108: Not Taking Initiative

After seeing Wu Mengting head to the kitchen with groceries in tow and busy herself, Lin Wan took a seat on the sofa with an air of entitlement and continued scrolling through her phone. The television was on, but she wasn’t watching.

Upon witnessing her behavior, Chen Feng felt even more uncomfortable and said to her, "Hey, I think it’s a bit excessive that you’re always treating Mengting like a maid, don’t you?"

Lin Wan looked up, blinking her seemingly innocent eyes and said weakly, "I really don’t feel well today, and I only had a little porridge this morning. Otherwise, I would have definitely gone to the kitchen with Tingting to help her out."

"You’re staying with us for free and still so lazy, you’re going to end up friendless," Chen Feng said with a look of disdain.

Lin Wan rolled her eyes and responded, "I know you care about Tiantian. But don’t you know, that’s just the kind of person she is? She likes to take care of the people she cares about and finds joy in it. She’s the same with me as she is with you. Believe it or not, if I did everything myself and didn’t bother her, she’d probably feel uncomfortable, even unhappy."

Her argument was rather skewed, but Chen Feng wasn’t one to coddle her and said with a cold face, "I don’t care how you two get along; I’m just tired of you freeloading without doing a thing. So, starting today, you’re responsible for cleaning the room and taking out the trash."

Lin Wan immediately bristled at this and protested, "That’s crossing the line. I’m here as a guest..."

"If that’s the case, then Mengting would be a guest too, right? So how come she does the maid’s work every day while you do nothing? If you want to keep staying here, you listen to my rules."

"I... I see it now, you must have fallen for Tiantian, and you find me as the third wheel annoying, right?"

"You can say what you want; it’s my place, and I make the rules. If you have any pride, just move out."

Chen Feng was stony-faced, completely unsympathetic.

Seeing that he wasn’t joking, and because she still worked under him, Lin Wan could only reply, resigned, "Can I clean every three days, and take out the trash every day?"

"Clean every two days; if you can’t, move out."

"Fine, fine, you win. Who asked you to be my boss?"

Lin Wan was the type to respond to toughness rather than gentleness. Once Chen Feng put on a stern face, she had no choice but to submit.

Finally satisfied, Chen Feng nodded, "Don’t ask Mengting for help. Clean the house on your own, it’s not a big place. Sweep upstairs and downstairs, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up the front and back yard. It shouldn’t take you more than an hour to finish everything."

Lin Wan rolled her eyes upon hearing this. If she wasn’t worried about Chen Feng getting truly angry, she might have complained that it surely wouldn’t take just one hour.

Regardless, she was determined to do a cursory job every two days at most; there was no way she would actually work like a maid to clean the house.

Chen Feng didn’t actually expect her to work like a maid either, but wanted her to tone down. He didn’t like her thinking it was natural for Wu Mengting to cater to her.

He went upstairs to shower and then came down for dinner when it was about time. Wu Mengting had specially designed a diet menu for him, cooking three dishes—one with meat and two vegetarian. The other four dishes were for the two women.

Chen Feng was a bit helpless about this; he had just started dating Mengting and they hadn’t even slept together yet, and now she was already managing his life.

But he knew that Wu Mengting was doing it for his benefit. Plus, he felt that if he could successfully lose weight, it wouldn’t be so bad.

Now that Wu Mengting was willing to be his personal fitness and diet supervisor for free, it really wasn’t a bad thing.

What cheered him up was that the three dishes she cooked especially for him tasted quite good. And for lunch, he still got to eat rice.

However, he couldn’t have rice at night. Wu Mengting had told him before. In the evenings, he was to eat a vegetable salad with fruit, two eggs, and a small portion of lean meat.

Originally, he was only allowed one bowl of rice, but Chen Feng insisted and ended up having two.

After dinner, Wu Mengting, as usual, made tea for Chen Feng.

This time, Lin Wan took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes, giving Chen Feng and Wu Mengting some time alone.

"I’m planning to quit my job."

Wu Mengting sat down next to Chen Feng and dropped this statement on him.

After a moment of surprise, Chen Feng asked, "Are you quitting because of me?"

Wu Mengting shook her head, "Not entirely. Compared to being an editor, I find I enjoy writing more. Plus, I’m not very happy at my job, so I decided to quit."

Chen Feng knew in his heart that her resignation was mostly because of him.

He was diagnosed with a terminal illness and didn’t have much time left. Of course, Wu Mengting wanted to spend every possible moment with him.

As for that, Chen Feng didn’t say anything to dissuade her.

He was wealthy now and could easily provide for her.

Besides, she wasn’t very happy there, so it made sense for her to leave.

Also, since she enjoyed writing, and judging by the performance of her previous two novels, it wouldn’t be worse than a regular job. If it came to it, after her novel was published, he could easily create a few alternate accounts to support her works and give her several gold sponsors.

"You make your own decision. I will support whatever decision you make, one hundred percent,"

"I knew you would support me," Wu Mengting said with a delighted smile.

"So you’re planning to start writing a novel again, right? Got any ideas?"

"Yeah. I’ve got an idea. This time, I’m planning to write in the contemporary genre."

"Have you thought of a name for the novel?"

"Hmm, for now, it’s called ’Falling for the Man of Steel’."
