Chapter 667: Well... Okay then
Chapter 667: Well... Okay then
"Then you go have your meal, I’ll be leaving first." The moment Leng Mei saw Lin Feng come in, her heart immediately tightened, and she felt awkwardly restless, thinking to herself, why has Lin Feng come in? What should I do now? Although she was now Lin Feng’s woman too, Girl Ding was the rightful wife, what... what should I do?"
When she heard Ding Wan’er propose going out for a meal together, Leng Mei grew even more nervous. She didn’t know why she felt this way, but she was extremely distressed and restless. Just thinking about both her and Ding Wan’er being Lin Feng’s women made her feel unbearably awkward. They had been sisters from childhood and never imagined they would both become the same man’s women. If it weren’t for a twist of fate, such a thing would never have happened.
Furthermore, Ding Wan’er was so magnanimous, offering Lin Feng to find her, and had done the mental preparation, accepting her and Ding Wan’er to be Lin Feng’s women together. Even Leng Mei had to admire Ding Wan’er’s generosity. For any other woman, sharing a man with another woman would be impossible, and since that was the case, she couldn’t possibly interfere with the time Ding Wan’er spent with Lin Feng. With that thought in mind, Leng Mei stood up and said a phrase, then turned around to leave.
"Sister Leng, how can you leave? Let’s go eat together. Otherwise, you’ll be eating alone if you go back. Let’s go out to eat together," Ding Wan’er said, pulling Leng Mei who was about to leave, and spoke with a cheerful laugh. In her heart, she knew why Sister Leng wanted to leave, but Ding Wan’er thought that since they both had become Lin Feng’s women, it was inevitable that they would eat out together in the future. It was better to get used to it sooner.
And seeing the love that Sister Leng had for Lin Feng, Ding Wan’er could not possibly let Leng Mei leave. Both of them were Lin Feng’s women, so it was very natural for them to go out and accompany Lin Feng for a meal. There was no need to avoid anything.
"Yes, Leng Mei, you have to eat anyway, so come with us," Lin Feng said, noticing Leng Mei’s intention to leave. After thinking for a moment, he understood Leng Mei might be feeling embarrassed because of Ding Wan’er. However, Lin Feng felt there was nothing to be embarrassed about since they were both his women. Going out for a meal together was very normal, and with this in mind, he spoke up as well. He also didn’t want Leng Mei to go back and eat alone. After all, being together was more joyous.
"Girl Ding, I... I should still leave. You and Lin Feng have a good time." Hearing what Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng said, Leng Mei felt somewhat moved. To be honest, ever since she returned from the Capital City after establishing a relationship with Lin Feng, she had felt exceptionally lonely during meal times. Leng Mei was truly fed up with living alone. Several times she had wanted to call Lin Feng, but after much deliberation, she never dialed the number. She also wanted to be with Lin Feng; just being with him made her happy, and it was a fact she simply couldn’t avoid.
However, in Leng Mei’s view, it wouldn’t be a problem if she went out with Lin Feng alone, but if Ding Wan’er was also present, then Leng Mei would feel extremely embarrassed. Just thinking about sharing Lin Feng with Ding Wan’er, sharing meals and facing Lin Feng together, made her heart flutter with panic. After all, she was at best Lin Feng’s lover. The fact that Ding Wan’er had acknowledged her status made her very grateful. She really couldn’t bear to share Lin Feng during meals; she would feel extremely guilty.
Moreover, the most important point was that Leng Mei felt it would be so strange if she accompanied Lin Feng with Ding Wan’er. This appreciation made Leng Mei feel very uncomfortable, an inexplicable embarrassment. As to why this was, Leng Mei couldn’t figure it out, but this feeling constantly controlled her, compelling her to leave this place.
"Sister Leng, I’ll be angry if you keep this up. There’s no one else here. We are both Lin Feng’s women. I hope we can live together in harmony. We were sisters to begin with, with very good relations. It’s very normal for us to accompany Lin Feng for a meal. Please don’t refuse," Ding Wan’er said, seeing Leng Mei determined to leave, finally resorting to her ultimate persuasion to prevent Leng Mei from leaving. She truly didn’t want Sister Leng to return to her old life. Now that they had Lin Feng, they should live happily. There was no need to make oneself uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Ding Wan’er tightened her grip on Leng Mei’s hand even more. She wanted to signal to Leng Mei that there would be many more days like this in the future. She hoped Sister Leng would get used to and enjoy this kind of life. That way, she could put Lin Feng’s mind at ease. To use a phrase from television, harmony in the harem is extremely important. Right now, she and Leng Mei were exactly that, and she truly hoped Sister Leng could let go of all her burdens and live happily.
"Listen to Wan’er," Lin Feng also felt that what Ding Wan’er said was true. It was just a simple meal after all, there really was no need to insist on leaving. So, he also spoke up to keep Leng Mei from leaving.
"Well... okay then." Leng Mei felt really uneasy hearing how Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er were trying to keep her there. She always found it strange to be accompanying Lin Feng together with Ding Wan’er, but now she could only accept it for the time being. Otherwise, if she insisted on leaving, both Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er would definitely be unhappy. With that thought, she could only reluctantly agree.
"That’s right, Sister Leng, we are good sisters, and we’ll always be." Ding Wan’er was very happy when she heard Leng Mei agree, so she cheerfully linked arms with Leng Mei and said with a smile, after which the three of them left the office.
Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er were very normal, but Leng Mei’s expression was still as cold as ever, and even appeared somewhat unnatural. Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er both saw this and were thinking of ways to ease Leng Mei’s anxious and awkward mood...
The trio took a car to the most bustling part of Tianhai, found a nice restaurant, secured a private room, and after ordering dishes, they all sat down inside the private room.
"Sister Leng, look, I ordered your favorite sweet and sour carp."
"Sister Leng, smile a bit, honestly, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you smile. There are no outsiders here today, just smile a little."
"Sister Leng, do me a favor and smile, look at how happy we are today, just smile a bit."
...
As soon as Ding Wan’er sat down, she didn’t stop trying to cheer up Leng Mei, hoping to make her smile and lighten the mood. No one knew what kind of person Leng Mei was better than Ding Wan’er did, so as soon as she sat down, she made up her mind to distract Leng Mei and make her mood a bit better, so she wouldn’t be so awkward anymore.
Leng Mei saw Ding Wan’er looking like that and of course knew that Wan’er was only thinking of her best interests. The intention of going out together was to have fun, but as soon as Leng Mei saw Lin Feng sitting there, she felt extremely awkward and couldn’t bring herself to smile. She could only sit there silently, letting Wan’er do all the talking.
"When Sister Leng smiles, she really is beautiful. Back in Capital City when we wandered the night markets, I saw her smile," Lin Feng couldn’t help but interject. Remembering the times Leng Mei had smiled so happily while they wandered the night market back in Capital City, his affection for that beautiful smile of hers grew even stronger.
"Yes, those were the happiest times." When Leng Mei heard Lin Feng mention their night market strolls, her heart immediately filled with a sense of happiness. That time was the happiest period in her life. Back then, she had felt truly blessed, and with that thought, an involuntary smile spread across Leng Mei’s face.
"Sister Leng is smiling, Sister Leng is smiling, that’s more like it! With the three of us spending more time together, there’ll be even happier days ahead. Sister Leng, see how much better you feel when you let go and stop overthinking," Ding Wan’er said with joy upon seeing Leng Mei smile. This was the effect she’d been aiming for. As long as Sister Leng could let go of her burdens, everything would be fine, and Sister Leng could live a truly happy life moving forward. This was what Wan’er had most hoped to see.
"What can I even say about you?" Leng Mei lightly scolded the overjoyed Ding Wan’er, tapping her gently. If it wasn’t for Wan’er insisting on dragging her out today, she would have never come. Now it was just as Wan’er said, she shouldn’t overthink things. In this moment, she felt much more relaxed and gradually adapted to the atmosphere.
As they were talking, the waiter began bringing out the dishes, and soon a full table was set. When Ding Wan’er had ordered, she had intentionally chosen all of Leng Mei’s favorite dishes, which deepened Leng Mei’s gratitude toward her. To be a woman like Wan’er was truly extraordinary in generosity, she thought, always finding ways to cheer her up. Leng Mei was so moved that she didn’t know what to say.
"Sister Leng, have some dishes, sweet and sour carp."
"Lin Feng, help yourself. This is Sister Leng’s favorite sweet and sour pork. If you can make it, I’ll try yours when you have time."
"Okay, I’ll cook for you when I have the time."
"Lin Feng, can you really cook?"
"Yes, it’s not that surprising."
"Then I must try it."
"Wan’er, why are you so happy today?"
"Seeing Sister Leng happy makes me happy."
"Leng Mei, eat up. Let’s go shopping after this."
"Lin Feng, aren’t you busy?"
...
The three of them ordered a bottle of red wine and chatted away as they ate. Time flew by without them realizing, and Leng Mei’s mood opened up gradually, fully immersing herself into the company of Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng. Seeing this made both Wan’er and Lin Feng very happy, and the more they talked, the more joyous they became. In the end, they decided to go shopping for clothes at a mall, as the seasons were about to change and it seemed the right time to update their wardrobes.
After a satisfying meal, the three left the restaurant and went directly into a large mall, beginning their shopping spree. In the mall, time went even faster. Under Wan’er’s constant mood-boosting, Leng Mei bought several items of clothing, and so did Ding Wan’er. At last, they stopped shopping for themselves and started picking out clothes for Lin Feng instead. Seeing the two women so delighted, Lin Feng was in high spirits and went along with their choices...
When the three of them exited the mall, Lin Feng’s hands were full of bags. If he hadn’t insisted on not buying anything else, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei might have continued shopping. They got into the car and drove away from the place.
