Around five in the afternoon, Chen Feng’s parents finally returned.

Since they were informed in advance that the groceries had been bought, they didn’t need to buy more. By that time, the two women had already cooked several dishes together.

Most of the dishes were cooked by Wu Mengting; Guo Mengyao made only one dish, tomato scrambled eggs. She knew her cooking skills weren’t as good as Wu Mengting’s, so she just made the dish she thought she was best at.

Zhao Xiaolan came back insisting on taking over and also cooked two dishes.

Once all the dishes were laid on the table, the Chen Rui family came over as well.

They already knew that Wu Mengting and Guo Mengyao were coming, so they weren’t surprised. But Chen Rui looked at his younger brother, Chen Feng, with envy, wanting to privately seek his advice.

On this Mid-Autumn Festival, these two women came to the house for the celebration, joining the family for a reunion dinner, which certainly meant something.

Both women were very interested in Chen Feng, especially Guo Mengyao, who seemed likely to have already had a fling with him.

What’s the secret to making two women completely devoted to him, and yet they seemed to get along peacefully?

This point made Chen Rui, as the elder brother, deeply impressed, and wanting to learn is only natural.

Originally, they hadn’t planned to host a family banquet today, but they did anyway, and with the addition of two women joining the reunion dinner, the atmosphere became lively.

Especially since Guo Mengyao was also quite the talker, quickly charming Zhao Xiaolan into smiles. While Wu Mengting wasn’t as talkative, she had a knack for saying a few timely words that enhanced the moment.

More importantly, Zhao Xiaolan was particularly fond of Wu Mengting, focusing most of her attention on this prospective daughter-in-law, treating Guo Mengyao kindly but only on the surface.

Guo Mengyao noticed, feeling somewhat defeated. Although she had mostly given up the idea of marrying Chen Feng, her instinct was still to build a good relationship with his family, especially Zhao Xiaolan.

Unfortunately, it seems that the results are not very significant.

Everyone ate, drank, chatted, and laughed, with Little Yu and Little Xue as the mood boosters, often making everyone laugh heartily.

This reunion dinner was a joyful one.

Starting around six o’clock, it lasted until almost nine in the evening.

Guo Mengyao drank beer because she was "happy," and naturally couldn’t drive, so she suggested Chen Feng find a hotel in town for her to stay at. Zhao Xiaolan immediately said she should stay at their house.

Now, Chen Rui’s family had moved into a new home, leaving two empty rooms on the third floor, so Guo Mengyao could certainly stay overnight.

Additionally, if Wu Mengting didn’t mind, she could share the independent room with her.

Wu Mengting proactively suggested sharing the room with her, and after a moment’s hesitation, Guo Mengyao agreed.

Chen Feng was puzzled, not understanding why Wu Mengting was taking such good care of Guo Mengyao.

After the banquet, Chen Feng went to his old room upstairs, leaving the new room behind the kitchen for Wu Mengting, now with Guo Mengyao joining.

The two women returned to the room, and after closing the door, Wu Mengting asked, "Do you want to shower?"

Guo Mengyao shook her head, "No need, I didn’t bring any change of clothes."

"Then I’ll go shower first."

When Wu Mengting finished showering and came out, it was already half an hour later, and during this time, Guo Mengyao quietly sat on the bed watching TV.

"Finished showering?" Guo Mengyao asked a redundant question.

"Yes. Aren’t you going to lie down and rest? I saw you drank two bottles of beer."

"Do you have disposable towels? I’ll wash my face first."

"I do, I’ll get them for you. I also have a brand new unseen pair of night pants, I can give them to you, so you can change into them after your shower."

"Alright, thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Wu Mengting then got her the towel and night pants.

Guo Mengyao was faster, exiting the bathroom after about twenty minutes.

Both women had showered, and unconcerned, they lay side by side on the bed watching TV.

"You..."

"You..."

Both spoke almost simultaneously.

Then Guo Mengyao spoke, "You go first."

Wu Mengting didn’t feign politeness and asked, "What’s your current situation with Chen Feng? Has he promised to marry you in the future?"

Guo Mengyao paused before shaking her head, "No. He’s not the type to make careless promises."

After she spoke, she paused and asked Wu Mengting, "Did he promise you anything?"

Wu Mengting nodded, "Yes, he promised to formally establish a romantic relationship with me this month and that we would be engaged by the end of the year."

"Did he really promise you?" Guo Mengyao expressed disbelief.

"Yes, he did promise." Wu Mengting said calmly, "Originally, last year, we had already established a romantic relationship, but later he was afraid of letting me down, so we became like siblings again. Eventually, he promised to re-establish our relationship by this month."

Guo Mengyao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and couldn’t help but ask, "Did he say that once he re-established his relationship with you, he’d break up with other women?"

"Although he didn’t say so explicitly, I think he would do that," Wu Mengting turned to her, "However, I can give him a transition period and allow up to two options."

"What does that mean?" Guo Mengyao frowned and asked.

Wu Mengting explained, "It means giving him some time to break up with other women."

"How do those two options work?"

"I’m allowing him two slots for other lovers, but those two choices must be approved by me."
