This left Chen Feng a bit speechless. Was this really necessary? They had just slept together last night.
Wu ngting rolled her eyes at him, snorted coldly, and walked past him.
Seeing this, Chen Feng chuckled, opened the door, and walked in.
This afternoon, he had already battled with Li Liqin, this coquettish woman, for six hundred rounds. He really didn’t want anything else tonight; he planned to conserve his strength.
The reason he intentionally said what he did just now was partly a prank, but also a strategic retreat.
Because he knew that asking them directly in front of each other, neither of them would put down their pride and co to sleep with him.
So, he didn’t have to worry about which of them to sleep with tonight.
It turns out, Chen Feng wasn’t stupid; he was quite the clever one.
He walked into the room, casually threw his clothes aside, and lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, after a night’s rest and recovery, he woke up feeling full of energy again.
This made him very happy because it showed that his body was recovering well and was very healthy.
Ever since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, nothing made him happier than this.
The weather was nice today. After a simple wash-up, Chen Feng went out for his routine morning run.
After running two laps around the neighborhood, he was a bit worried Sun Yanhong would show up to bother him, but she didn’t. This secretly relieved him.
Even though Chen Feng wouldn’t indulge Sun Yanhong, that old flirt, if she dared to harass him, he would definitely teach her a lesson. But avoiding trouble was better, he just wanted to exercise in peace.
Finished with his morning exercise, he went ho for a shower, then went downstairs to have breakfast with the two won, such a regular and orderly life.
After the three of them finished breakfast, the two won went to work, and Chen Feng stayed ho to enjoy life.
Today, unlike before, he didn’t imdiately scroll through short videos or read novels. Instead, he sent his mom a video call invitation.
By this ti, he guessed, his mom was already working at their small supermarket.
Sure enough, when the video connected, he saw his mom standing in the supermarket, with shelves as the background.
"Why did you suddenly send a video? Do you have sothing to tell ?"
Zhao Xiaolan had a look of disdain, making Chen Feng feel a bit tired, and asked, "No one else is around you, right? I have sothing to tell you."
Zhao Xiaolan said, "At this ti, there aren’t many custors in the supermarket. I was just stocking up. Go ahead and speak."
Hearing this, Chen Feng had no worries and got straight to the point, "I don’t want to get engaged to ngting by the end of the year..."
"Stop right there." Zhao Xiaolan imdiately interrupted Chen Feng, decisively saying, "There’s no room for negotiation here. I’ve already talked to Tingting’s parents. How can you go back on your word? Besides, you’re not getting any younger, and Tingting is sensible and sweet. It’s definitely better to get engaged and married sooner."
Chen Feng sighed and said, "Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to get engaged to her by the end of the year. It’s just that a fortune teller once told I have three major tribulations in my life. The first one was when I was nine; didn’t I almost drown that year? It was my uncle who saved .
The second tribulation is this year when I’m thirty. The fortune teller said this year I should stay put and avoid major life decisions. Now you want to get engaged, and that directly goes against the recomndation."
"Nonsense," Zhao Xiaolan rebutted. "Which fortune teller is blabbering?"
Chen Feng quickly said, "Mom, don’t disbelief . At first, I didn’t believe either. Back then, I had just divorced and was wandering the streets, feeling lost and hopeless, when this fortune teller at a stall approached .
He grabbed my hand and offered to read my fortune for free. I thought he was a conman and wanted to leave. But then he asked , are you surnad Chen? Is there you and a brother in your family? Are you a Sheep in the Chinese zodiac? Is your brother a Snake?
I was imdiately in shock, so I stopped and let him read my fortune. He told I’d have three major tribulations in my life. He correctly predicted the one when I was nine, and then there’s this year at thirty."
"Really? Is this for real?" Zhao Xiaolan expressed her doubt.
"It’s true. Why would I lie to you?"
Saying this, Chen Feng quietly added in his heart: A kind lie isn’t a lie.
"How can there be such a skilled fortune teller? And you just happened to et him?" Zhao Xiaolan still doubted.
"It’s true," Chen Feng feigned a wronged tone, "At the ti, I was skeptical of the fortune teller too, but then he said I would make a fortune this year. I laughed because all my savings amounted to only two or three thousand yuan. How could I make a fortune? Then, right after I parted ways with the fortune teller, I happened to pass by a lottery store. On a whim, I spent over two hundred yuan on the lottery and hit the jackpot."
"So, you’re saying that you won the lottery because of this fortune teller?"
Chen Feng’s story, full of details, made Zhao Xiaolan start to believe.
"Yes, otherwise why would I spend so much money on the lottery suddenly? And I don’t usually even buy lottery tickets."
After a mont of silence, Zhao Xiaolan asked, "What else did the fortune teller say?"
Chen Feng quickly replied, "He also said I shouldn’t remarry before I’m thirty-two, or it will weaken my fortune significantly, even bringing bad luck."
Zhao Xiaolan snorted, "Did you make that part up yourself?"
"Of course not, that’s exactly what the fortune teller said. He told that I’m destined for late marriage and late parenthood. He also said that starting from thirty, I’d be entangled with romantic affairs; my charm would be very strong, but there would be both good and bad romances. If I can’t distinguish well, it will bring significant trouble, and I’ll end up with many romantic debts."
Zhao Xiaolan snorted again, "He’s not wrong about that. Don’t you already owe a ton of romantic debts?"
Chen Feng smiled sheepishly, "Mom, this fortune teller is really remarkable, I can’t help but believe him. So don’t worry about my marriage until I’m thirty-two."
Zhao Xiaolan frowned and complained, "If this is true, why didn’t you tell earlier?"
Chen Feng gave a wry smile, "If I had told you earlier, would you have believed ?"
After a brief silence, Zhao Xiaolan said unhappily, "Even now I don’t believe it."
"Mom, so things you really can’t not believe. Last year, I suddenly won the lottery, then started a company, and my whole life turned around as if in a dream. At the end of last year, I was still impoverished and about to leave Xiu Zhou since I couldn’t survive there anymore. But now, I’m living in a villa and driving luxury cars. If I had told you last year that I’d be living like this, you wouldn’t have believed either, right?"
