Chapter 143: Chapter 110 Thank You for Liking Me

Outside Delong Square on a pedestrian walkway, an outdoor bench sat unoccupied.

Chen Feng sat down with Wu Mengting first, and within less than a minute, Shen Lin followed and stood in front of them.

"Is this what you meant by sitting down and having a proper talk?"

Shen Lin looked at Chen Feng with a face full of scorn.

Chen Feng remained calm as he replied, "Isn’t this place quite nice? It doesn’t cost anything, there aren’t many people around, the air flows well, and we can even enjoy some sun."

Wu Mengting chuckled softly, quickly covering her mouth with her hand.

Seeing Wu Mengting so cooperatively side with Chen Feng ignited more anger in Shen Lin. She coldly inquired, "Tell me, when did you two get together? Did you hook up before the divorce was finalized?"

Shen Lin was furious because she suspected that Chen Feng had cheated on her before their divorce and had gotten involved with Wu Mengting. If that was the case, it undoubtedly made her feel like a fool.

Wu Mengting frowned, her face stern as she replied with discontent, "Please show some respect when you speak. I met Brother Feng after he was already divorced, and it’s only been a few days since we officially became a couple."

"Huh, Brother Feng and I are talking; who asked for your input?"

Chen Feng gently squeezed Wu Mengting’s hand, signaling her not to speak, then said to Shen Lin, "You know my personality. Before the divorce, I wasn’t capable of cheating, and I didn’t engage in any ambiguous relationships with other women. Simply put, I did nothing wrong to you during our marriage. On the other hand, over the last six months, you’ve seldom been home, constantly attending coworker dinners and office activities, making me doubt whether you were faithful."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin, driven to irony by anger, hissed, "Well played. You really have mastered the art of turning the tables, haven’t you? If I had been up to something before, would I still be single now?"

Chen Feng also sneered, "Isn’t Director Yuan hot on your heels? I bet he’s had his sights set on you for a while now."

Men know men. Just from Yuan Dawei’s behavior earlier, and knowing that Shen Lin works in the same office, how could anyone not understand?

Shen Lin found herself at a loss for words.

Yuan Dawei indeed had designs on her—he had been secretly undermining her for the past two years, which she had never mentioned to Chen Feng. However, quite a few people in the office knew about it; it just wasn’t widely publicized.

"I... anyway, I haven’t!" Shen Lin glared as she spoke, "Now it’s me questioning you, what right do you have to question me?"

Chen Feng shrugged nonchalantly, "Nor have I. So on what grounds are you demanding an explanation from me?"

Shen Lin was stunned. Indeed, they were long divorced; why should she demand any explanations from Chen Feng?

Even if Chen Feng had cheated during the marriage, what was the point of discussing it now?

For a moment, Shen Lin didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Wu Mengting spoke up: "I don’t know why you two divorced, but I want to say, Brother Feng is a very good man. I trust that he did nothing to wrong you during his marriage. If my relationship with him has upset you, I’m willing to apologize. But Brother Feng is innocent, and you have no right to blame him."

Shen Lin gazed at Wu Mengting for a while, then sighed deeply, "It looks like I misunderstood. You’re a good girl with fine qualities. You really don’t need to bother with Chen Feng, who is both poor and lazy here in Xiu Zhou, earning just about three thousand a month. He can barely support himself, let alone spare money to support you. Don’t be fooled by him."

Hearing this assessment of himself, Chen Feng was left speechless.

Yet, he couldn’t say she was wrong. Before their divorce, he was indeed what she had described.

Thus, Chen Feng accepted it calmly, feeling no need to refute.

"Thank you!" Wu Mengting smiled gratefully, then added, "I haven’t been deceived. Actually, it was me who chased after him. I pursued him for almost two months before he reluctantly accepted me."

"That’s impossible," Shen Lin disbelieved, suspiciously eyeing the smiling Wu Mengting, then turning to look at the calm Chen Feng.

"Don’t doubt it. I’m telling the truth." Wu Mengting spoke with an air of innocent charm, "It might just be fate destined by heaven. We met several times by coincidences, and since Brother Feng and I are both from Lu City, he has helped me out several times. Gradually, I fell for him. After my persistent efforts, he finally agreed a few days ago to be my boyfriend."

Wu Mengting’s words made Chen Feng feel proud, whereas Shen Lin felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

She found it hard to believe that the nowadays poor, chubby Chen Feng would be pursued by a beautiful girl.

At first, she thought Wu Mengting had been deceived by Chen Feng, but now she questioned whether Wu Mengting was sound of mind.

Otherwise, how could she explain it?

Still, Shen Lin remained skeptical.

"I don’t know what you’re thinking, but let me offer some advice as someone who has been there—men are often unreliable. Chen Feng had assured me before that he would strive to earn money to buy me a car and a house. And the outcome? After five years together, I had to take out a loan to buy the car myself, and the apartment was rented with the help of his parents."

Chen Feng couldn’t help but interject, "I also helped pay for the car loan, remember?"

"Isn’t that what you should have done?"

Shen Lin’s retort left Chen Feng feeling uncomfortable. He wanted to say he barely ever drove or even rode in her car. He had helped with the car payments simply because he had been her husband back then, but was that really his obligation?
