"Alright, take off your clothes and go to bed, I’m going to sleep first."

After greeting Guo Mengyao, Chen Feng closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He was indeed a bit tired, after all, a lot had happened today.

Seeing him like this, Guo Mengyao felt a bit annoyed, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

After hesitating for a dozen seconds, she gritted her teeth, got up, put her bag away, and began to undress.

She was decisive. Given that she thickened her skin to invite Yu Xiaohui and Chen Feng to eat together, and even came to the hotel at Yu Xiaohui’s suggestion, there was no need to be shy.

She, Guo Mengyao, was a bold woman who loved and hated fiercely.

After taking off her pencil skirt, Guo Mengyao stood by the bed, surveyed Chen Feng, then reached out to push him, saying, "You sleep in the middle."

Chen Feng was almost asleep but was pushed awake by her, which made him glare at her discontentedly and mutter, "I’ll sleep on this side."

Guo Mengyao sneered, "Isn’t it good to have two beautiful women by your side?"

Now that she was with Yu Xiaohui, she couldn’t monopolize Chen Feng, and she had enough sense to understand that. Of course, she wouldn’t pretend to let Yu Xiaohui sleep next to Chen Feng while she was separated by her.

Chen Feng sleeping in the middle was the best solution.

Yu Xiaohui wanted to ally with her, and why shouldn’t she want the same? But she couldn’t just always give in.

"Don’t argue, I’m really sleepy, I’ll sleep here."

With his eyes closed, Chen Feng finished speaking and ignored her.

Seeing this, Guo Mengyao wanted to kick him but held back seeing how genuinely tired he looked.

She hesitated for a moment but eventually got into bed first, pulled the covers over, and lay down next to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn’t move at all, and it seemed he was about to fall asleep.

Guo Mengyao didn’t bother Chen Feng anymore, just lay quietly on her side, watching Chen Feng under the dim light of the bedside lamp.

She didn’t know why she was so obsessed with him, especially when he was so indifferent to her and had tried several times, deliberately or not, to break up with her. Yet she chose to cling to him, refusing to end the relationship.

Knowing well that in the end, it was unlikely they would have a happy ending, aware of his flirtatious and womanizing ways, knowing he didn’t like her that much, she still fixated on him.

It’s like that corny saying: love knows no origin and deepens all the way.

She was sinking deeper and deeper into him, unable to extricate herself.

Unbeknownst to her, Yu Xiaohui had removed her makeup, washed her face, and came over. Seeing Chen Feng sleeping on the outside and Guo Mengyao in the middle, she felt a slight discomfort but suppressed it, considering the need to form an alliance with Guo Mengyao and build a good rapport.

"Is he asleep?"

Yu Xiaohui approached casually and asked softly.

When Guo Mengyao heard her speak, she moved her gaze from Chen Feng’s face to Yu Xiaohui, nodded slightly, and whispered, "Yes, he’s asleep."

After saying this, she added, "I asked him to lie in the middle, but he wouldn’t listen. Why don’t you lie in the middle?"

Yu Xiaohui looked at her intently, shook her head slightly, and said, "No need, you sleep in the middle."

Yu Xiaohui knew she was the newcomer and planned to join forces with Guo Mengyao, so there was no harm in yielding to her.

Seeing Yu Xiaohui was so sensible, Guo Mengyao gave her a big smile, "Thanks a lot then."

Yu Xiaohui returned a warm smile and then said, "It’s getting late, we should get some sleep."

After speaking, she began to undress, first taking off her sweater to reveal the vest underneath, which appeared just as full as Guo Mengyao’s, if not slightly larger.

She consoled herself with the fact that Yu Xiaohui wasn’t as tall, didn’t have legs as long as hers, and seemed to have a bit of a tummy, whereas her belly was still quite flat.

Considering Yu Xiaohui had already had two kids, having a bit of a belly was normal, which was clearly her disadvantage. No wonder Yu Xiaohui wanted to form an alliance.

Yu Xiaohui didn’t take off her vest, and after undressing her jeans, she also got into bed.

The two felt a bit awkward initially, not lying too close. After all, they’d only officially met today, and yet here they were, intimately lying together in bed. It’d be strange if there wasn’t any awkwardness at all.

"Should we turn off the light?" Yu Xiaohui asked first.

Guo Mengyao replied, "I don’t mind."

"Then let’s turn it off. I’m not used to sleeping with the lights on."

Having said that, Yu Xiaohui got out of bed, turned off the bedside lamp on Chen Feng’s side, then came back to turn off the one on her side too. The room was plunged into complete darkness, so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

The hotel’s curtains had excellent blackout effects.

The two didn’t speak anymore, seemingly ready to sleep.

But a few minutes later, Guo Mengyao turned her body to face Yu Xiaohui and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"No."

Though Yu Xiaohui claimed she was going to sleep, she actually wanted to chat with Guo Mengyao before bed to strengthen their bond.

"I have something to tell you."

With this, Guo Mengyao moved closer to her.

"What is it?" Yu Xiaohui asked.

Guo Mengyao leaned in and whispered, "You should know he has several other women, right? Like Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, the two living with him over in Xiu Zhou."

Yu Xiaohui calmly replied, "I know, I also know them."

Guo Mengyao was taken aback, "Oh, you know them? Do they know about you and Chen Feng’s relationship?"

"I previously lived in Xiu Zhou as Chen Feng’s neighbor for a while, so I got to know them. As for whether they know the real relationship between me and Chen Feng, I’m not sure."

"Did you buy a house in Red Villa Bay?"

"Yeah, I bought it together with another classmate."

After a moment of silence, Guo Mengyao said, "I also considered buying a house there earlier, but my company is here, so I can’t live there long-term. Besides, if I really go there, Chen Feng has a house I can stay in, so I haven’t bought one there."

"The houses there are pretty good. I mainly bought one thinking that in the future, I’d want my child to attend school there."

"That’s true. I also thought of letting my child go to the provincial city to study in the future, but my parents are reluctant to part with my daughter, wanting her to study in the city. To be honest, there are quite a few good primary schools in our city, like the International Foreign Language School, Dalton, and New Century are all quite good."

"Those are all private schools. Personally, I prefer public ones; I don’t want my child going abroad to study or anything, staying at home is just fine."

"You can’t say that. Nowadays, if families have some money, they basically send their kids to these private elite schools. They undergo an internationalized quality education and elite education from an early age. Not to mention, students coming out of these schools have better personal qualities and speaking a foreign language compared to public schools."

"These schools indeed have their merits, but personally, I hope my child receives traditional domestic education. As for elite or noble education, I think it’s a bit too much of chasing foreign trends."
