After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 158: Chapter 117 Such a Sister_2

He also believed that Wu Mengting wouldn’t change the way she treated him just because he had become wealthy.

So, Chen Feng candidly said, "Tomorrow Little Riu is moving to the villa I bought. You can come along and check it out too."

"Figures. If you have money, there’s no reason not to buy a house."

Wu Mengting was prepared and wasn’t surprised.

She also knew when to stop and didn’t continue to ask about the price of the villa or exactly how much money Chen Feng had. She still had that sense of propriety.

"I actually didn’t want to buy it. After all, with my current situation, as you know, I could just..."

"Don’t talk about such unlucky things," Wu Mengting interrupted him, "Since you have money, it’s better to invest in property than to keep it in the bank, at least housing prices are always rising."

"I didn’t have this much money before; I’ve only made it recently. If I had been this wealthy before, there’s no way I would have gotten divorced."

"It just means your ex-wife isn’t destined to enjoy wealth with you," Wu Mengting said, slightly mocking.

Chen Feng sighed and said, "I owe her. If I had known that my fortunes would change for the better after our divorce, it’s very likely I wouldn’t have divorced her."

Wu Mengting pursed her lips and said, "If you hadn’t divorced her, your fortune might not have been so good."

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, reluctantly smiled, and said, "That’s really a possibility..."

With a tinge of jealousy, Wu Mengting said, "You can reconcile with her, given that you’re now single and quite wealthy. Your ex-wife would definitely be willing."

Chen Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "You really are... The reason we divorced wasn’t just my health at that time, but mainly because our feelings for each other had faded."

"Faded feelings can intensify again," Wu Mengting said, expressionless and a bit teasing.

"Is it really meaningful to reignite feelings with money?" Chen Feng retorted.

Wu Mengting shook her head, "I wouldn’t know. I’m not you, nor am I your ex-wife."

"Anyway, I don’t think it’s meaningful. So, I’ve never considered getting back with her. If possible, I don’t want to see her for the rest of my life. The last time I saw her, it just made both of us unhappy."

"Since you say you owe her, haven’t you thought about compensating her? Whether emotionally or financially."

Chen Feng nodded, "Of course, I have. In the future, I might give her some money, or perhaps gift her a house. I had promised her before to buy her a house, and I never fulfilled it until the divorce."

"You really are generous!" Wu Mengting said sourly, "But no matter how wealthy you are, you shouldn’t be giving things away like that. She’s already divorced you. She has nothing to do with you now."

"But isn’t that what I owe her? I had made her a promise, and I must deliver. Besides, a slightly off-center, second-hand flat in the city, around a hundred square meters, can be settled for two to three million."

"Have you thought about her living with another man in the house you give her?"

At Wu Mengting’s words, Chen Feng couldn’t help but picture that scenario, feeling somewhat choked up at heart, then he looked at Wu Mengting in shock, "Tingting, when did you become so sharp-tongued?"

Wu Mengting spread her hands, innocently saying, "I’m just telling it like it is."

"Alright. You’ve successfully talked me out of the idea of gifting her the house. How I’ll compensate her, I’ll decide in the future."

"That’s right. You and your ex-wife don’t have any children, and giving her a house is a foolish action. When you promised her a house before, it was meant for the two of you to live in. Now that you’re giving it to her, she’ll be living there with another man, isn’t that silly? You might as well give her some financial compensation. It doesn’t have to be much, I think a few tens of thousands would suffice. For example, give it to her as a wedding gift when she gets engaged or married. That way, you would have treated her right."

"How come you sound like you’re even more experienced than me?" Chen Feng looked at her curiously.

Wu Mengting pursed her lips and said, "I am a romance novelist on the internet. Of course, I understand a bit about these things."

That explanation passed muster.

"There’s some truth in what you say. But I may not live to see her engagement or remarriage."

"Don’t keep talking about such dismal things," Wu Mengting frowned and scolded him, "I believe that fate will have its own plans, and you’ll definitely get through these tough times. I’ll stay with you!"

As she spoke, Wu Mengting naturally reached out and took Chen Feng’s hand, soft and warm.

Hearing these words coming out of a "little sister’s" mouth, along with such intimate gestures, made Chen Feng feel quite strange.

Was she still his "own little sister"?

"I... need to use the restroom."

Chen Feng withdrew his hand and got up to rush off to the bathroom.

He enjoyed Wu Mengting’s tenderness too, but she was supposed to be his sister now, not his girlfriend.

Wu Mengting watched Chen Feng hurry away, a sly smile creeping at the corners of her mouth.

In the afternoon, Chen Feng had a lovely nap with Sun Xiaorui, and when they got up at three o’clock, Wu Mengting dragged him out to buy treadmills.

This time, they didn’t head to Delong Square, but to a specialty store that sold treadmills.

Sun Xiaorui, of course, came along, while Lin Wan did not.

In the end, after trying out the machines, they decided to purchase a model from the store, buying one for the East Lake Villa and another for Red Villa Bay.

After the discount, the two treadmills cost just under forty thousand yuan, which was not much for Chen Feng at the moment.

One treadmill was directly arranged for delivery to East Lake Villa, while the other was scheduled to be sent to Red Villa Bay the following day.

Back at East Lake Villa, all four of them were interested in the new high-end treadmill; each person tried it out and found it quite to their liking.

They stopped playing with the treadmill only when it was time for dinner.

After eating, Lin Wan, as usual, considerately went upstairs early, Sun Xiaorui washed the dishes in the kitchen, and Wu Mengting sat with Chen Feng on the living room sofa to watch TV.

After pouring him a cup of tea, Wu Mengting said, "I’ve spoken to Waner, and she will come with me to Red Villa Bay tomorrow to have a look, you don’t mind, do you?"

Chen Feng gave her a look and responded, "Since you’ve already said it, of course I don’t mind."

"That’s good. You shouldn’t have any objections to her either. She may be greedy for money, but she didn’t really betray me last time. Actually, I intentionally let her give you some hints. Otherwise, I’m not that stupid; knowing she had been won over by you, I wouldn’t have revealed my true feelings to her."

"Oh, so you mean she was actually being used by you?" Chen Feng asked with a hint of amusement.

With a mix of embarrassment and shyness, Wu Mengting replied, "Well, I am a novelist, after all, and I’ve written about domestic and palace plots, so naturally I know a thing or two about manipulating people. But in general, I wouldn’t use that in real life."

Chen Feng suddenly felt that his previous understanding of her was quite superficial.

She appeared delicate and weak, but she was skilled in Taekwondo, capable of easily handling one or two men.

Moreover, beneath her gentle nature was a more assertive side, as she had previously forced him into a tough choice.

Aside from that, she might seem naive on the surface, but she had her schemes, the kind indicating a wisdom in foolish disguise.

She wouldn’t normally resort to scheming and being petty, but if it came down to it, others might not be able to outwit her.

"It’s good to be like this. People can be a bit naive, but not too naive; that would just be foolish. People cherish the naive, but they take advantage of the foolish."

"Brother, that’s quite philosophical of you,"

Wu Mengting looked up to him with admiration and gently clapped her hands.

Chen Feng’s vanity was immensely satisfied as he laughed and said, "Well, I am quite a few years older than you; I’ve seen more of the world and read more books than you, so naturally, my words carry some wisdom. You’ll benefit from sticking by my side in the future."

Wu Mengting laughed and said, "Brother, you sure are full of yourself when confident."

Chen Feng retorted, "I’m no Zhongshan wolf."

At that, Wu Mengting couldn’t help but giggle.

The two chatted away in harmony, seemingly returning to the state before they were a couple.

Quite nice, indeed!
