Chapter 1278: Chapter 666: Cooperation in Competition (Part 2)

"Then where are you sleeping tonight? At a hotel?"

Guo Mengyao pressed further.

Yu Xiaohui glanced at her again, but this time didn’t answer right away.

Chen Feng came back just then, waved at them and said, "Let’s go," then took the lead walking out of the shop.

The two women exchanged a look, stood up together, and followed Chen Feng out of the stew shop.

At the entrance, the three of them stood side by side by the street—Chen Feng in the middle, Yu Xiaohui on the left, Guo Mengyao on the right.

Chen Feng turned to Guo Mengyao and said, "Let’s call it a night. Drive home and be careful on the road, go to bed early."

Hearing that, Guo Mengyao felt both angry and aggrieved. She immediately said, "I don’t feel like going back yet. How about we walk around a bit more?"

Chen Feng frowned and said, "It’s the middle of the night, what’s there to walk around for? Don’t you have work tomorrow? Go home and sleep early."

Guo Mengyao said, "I’ve had insomnia these past two days, I can’t fall asleep. I won’t be able to sleep even if I go back. I might as well walk around outside and clear my head."

"You’ve got some guts." Chen Feng said sourly, "Sure, the public security here is pretty good, but what’s a woman like you doing wandering around late at night? Hoping some pervert will jump you and rape you?"

His prickly words pissed Guo Mengyao off, and she glared at him. "I’m not stupid, why would I wander around alone? Aren’t you here? I’m asking you to walk around with me, is that not allowed?"

Seeing the two of them start bickering, Yu Xiaohui quickly reached out and tugged Chen Feng’s arm, trying to ease the tension. "Chen Feng, why don’t we just take a little walk? Good to help with digestion."

Chen Feng still gave Yu Xiaohui face, and he didn’t actually want to fight with Guo Mengyao either, so he compromised: "Fine, we’ll just stroll around nearby, ten minutes at most."

When Yu Xiaohui spoke up and Chen Feng immediately agreed, Guo Mengyao felt even more upset. Her face fell and she didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaohui went over and took her hand, smiling. "Alright then, there really isn’t much to see this late anyway. We’ll just walk a bit, that’s enough. Let’s go."

Finishing, Yu Xiaohui linked arms with Guo Mengyao and walked ahead with her, looking very close. Chen Feng saw that and followed along.

This area was the boundary between the old city and the new district, still fairly lively at night, especially with all the street-side food stalls, and lots of customers around.

The three of them walked west along the road for a few hundred meters until they reached a big crossroads, then, at Chen Feng’s insistence, turned back.

Guo Mengyao didn’t object, and obediently let Yu Xiaohui hold her hand as they turned around.

All the way, the two women were whispering to each other, suddenly becoming very close, like long-time besties.

This left Chen Feng a bit speechless, but he more or less knew what was going on—provided nothing unexpected happened, these two were linking up.

They were both very clear that Chen Feng didn’t only have the two of them. Just counting the ones they already knew of, there were at least another two or three women, like Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, who they both knew.

As for actual relationship and intimacy, Sun and Wu, the two girls living with Chen Feng, left them several blocks behind, no contest.

They were very clear about that too. No matter what, they weren’t that young anymore and already had kids. How could they compete with Sun and Wu? Those two were younger and even prettier than them.

And because they both knew there were even tougher rivals out there, they didn’t go at each other’s throats; instead, they were now acting like close sisters.

The three of them finally strolled back to the stew shop area, where both Chen Feng’s and Guo Mengyao’s cars were parked nearby.

Chen Feng called out to Guo Mengyao, "Alright, satisfied now? Drive home, and go slow on the road."

But Yu Xiaohui smiled and said to him, "Mengyao and I talked it over. She’s sleeping with me tonight."

Chen Feng’s eyes went wide, and "What about me then?" almost slipped out.

He’d already planned on holding her to sleep tonight, since they still hadn’t actually spent a night together properly.

Besides, things between them were at that fresh, exciting stage.

As if hearing his inner thoughts, Yu Xiaohui smiled again and said, "If you want, you can sleep with us too. The bed at the hotel is pretty big; it can fit three people, no problem."

Chen Feng really wanted to say yes, but thinking of his still slightly sore lower back, he suddenly felt guilty and lacking in confidence.

He was supposed to be "taking care of his health" now; he couldn’t be indulgent in women every day. That was a big taboo for maintaining one’s health.

Seeing that Chen Feng didn’t respond right away, Guo Mengyao immediately let out a cold sneer. "He’s got too many women now and his body’s all worn out. Of course he doesn’t dare; he’s afraid he can’t handle the two of us."

Chen Feng glared at her at once, but he really didn’t dare charge straight in headfirst at that moment.

Yu Xiaohui hurried to explain to Chen Feng, "Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s so late already, the three of us are just going to sleep, nothing else. Don’t overthink it."

Hearing that, Chen Feng relaxed a lot and said, "Even if the bed is big, three people will be a bit cramped. You two sleep together."

He wasn’t some naive maiden who’d believe the whole "we’re just going to cuddle, nothing will happen" line.

For the sake of his health, it was best to stay away from the two of them for now, let alone share a bed.

Hearing that, a mocking look appeared on Guo Mengyao’s face, and she said with open contempt, "Knew it, you’re scared. If you know your body can’t handle it, then don’t mess with so many women. Only eat what’s in your bowl. Greedy people just end up choking themselves."

Fuck!

Chen Feng fixed his sharp gaze on Guo Mengyao. Seeing her looking back at him with open provocation, he got even angrier and said coldly, "You tell me, am I the greedy one? You’re the one clinging to me and refusing to let go. I never once went after you. Since you think I’m so greedy, then let’s cut things off between us from now on."

Hearing that Chen Feng actually wanted to break up with her again, Guo Mengyao exploded and cursed, "You bastard!"

Yu Xiaohui, half amused and half exasperated, quickly tried to break them up. "Alright, alright, both of you, tone it down. Chen Feng, just come back to the hotel with us. Relax, we’re not going to eat you alive."

Chen Feng looked at Guo Mengyao, whose eyes were misting with anger, then at Yu Xiaohui, who kept shooting him meaningful looks. In the end, he sighed and stepped forward to take Guo Mengyao’s hand.

Guo Mengyao gave a token little tug, but of course didn’t pull free.

"Alright, let’s drive."

About ten minutes later, the three of them walked into the hotel room that Chen Feng had booked earlier.

After closing the door, Yu Xiaohui said to the other two, "You go in first, I’m going to take off my makeup and wash my face."

After exchanging a look with Guo Mengyao, Chen Feng took the lead heading inside, and Guo Mengyao quickly followed.

The bed in the room was indeed big enough. Since they were already here, Chen Feng didn’t bother being reserved; after all, his relationship with both women couldn’t be any more intimate.

Chen Feng quickly took off his clothes, got into bed, and pulled the covers over himself.

Seeing that, Guo Mengyao suddenly got shy, sitting on the edge of the bed without saying a word.
