CHAPTER 537: CHAPTER 299 THE REASON FOR CHEATING_2

"Let me be honest with you, but I hope you can keep it a secret for me," Chen Feng said solemnly.

Kong Tianlu nodded with a smile, "Of course, I’ll definitely keep it a secret. And I believe you’ll keep my secrets too."

Chen Feng also nodded, "Of course. I’m not a blabbermouth, and I don’t really have any friends in Xiu Zhou. The people I know, you don’t know. Our social circles don’t overlap. Actually, telling you this has no impact on you."

"Haha, I was thinking the same thing."

"The reason I got divorced back then was pretty simple. One, the feelings between Shen Lin and I had faded. Two, when I went to the hospital, I was diagnosed with cancer. I didn’t want to burden Shen Lin at the time, so I simply divorced her."

"You... you were diagnosed with cancer?" Kong Tianlu looked at Chen Feng in shock. He saw that Chen Feng was ruddy-faced, although a bit thinner than before, still somewhat on the chubby side. This didn’t seem like someone with cancer.

"Don’t look at me like that. I really didn’t lie to you. It’s just that the cancer is under control, and there’s no immediate threat to my life."

"Really? Are you truly not lying?" Kong Tianlu was still a bit skeptical.

"Do you think I would joke about having cancer?" Chen Feng retorted disdainfully.

Kong Tianlu thought for a moment and nodded, "True. But now, you seem perfectly fine and you’re even drinking with me."

Chen Feng smiled, "I guess I got lucky. At the time, I thought I was done for, but who knew my luck would turn, and the cancer was controlled."

He couldn’t really say that the cancer just got better on its own, saying so would make it even less believable.

"Then your luck is really something. It’s been more than half a year, and you seem perfectly fine."

Kong Tianlu started to believe Chen Feng, thinking there was really no reason for Chen Feng to lie about this.

"If you’re really telling the truth, your actions back then were truly moving. Not wanting to burden Sister Lin and then actively asking for a divorce. Does Sister Lin know now?"

Chen Feng gently shook his head, "I told her, but she doesn’t believe me."

"Sigh!" Kong Tianlu sighed sympathetically, then raised his glass for another drink with Chen Feng.

"Did you show her the hospital diagnosis? How could she not believe something like this?"

Chen Feng explained briefly, "I only recently told her about the terminal illness. I haven’t shown her any diagnosis because it’s unnecessary. At the time, she wanted to reconcile, but I didn’t agree."

Upon hearing this, Kong Tianlu widened his eyes in disbelief, "You say Sister Lin wants to reconcile with you, she’s actively asking to reconcile?"

To Kong Tianlu, this was really hard to believe. They were already divorced, and it was Chen Feng who initiated it. Shen Lin didn’t seem particularly heartbroken then, and now suddenly wants to reconcile?

"Yes. I guess she’s not entirely over me," Chen Feng laughed self-deprecatingly. He knew Shen Lin might not be over him, but that was after he gave her a million in compensation.

Kong Tianlu felt a bit irritated by Chen Feng’s faintly bragging attitude, downed another drink, set the glass down, and sighed, "Women can be very single-minded sometimes. Like the one I’m involved with now, she was actually a junior at my university. I met her by chance at school, and she fell for me at first sight. She knew I had a good relationship with Tang Yue, but she persisted.

What’s more, she was never competitive, never pressuring me. So even after two or three years in school, Tang Yue didn’t know her, didn’t know she existed.

In the beginning, I never thought there’d be anything between us, but fate played tricks on me. One night she went out with people, got heavily drunk, and almost got in trouble. Fortunately, she remained conscious enough to call me for help from the bathroom, and I was able to rescue her.

Afterward, things got pretty dramatic. It was almost dawn, she couldn’t go back to the dorm, so I took her to get a room. In the hotel room, she, fueled by alcohol, forced herself on me. I admit I was impulsive at the time and couldn’t hold back."

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but think to himself how strong the woman must have been to push him down like that? In the end, it was clear he was willing.

However, Kong Tianlu’s story seemed honest enough, and probably close to the truth.

Just then, Kong Tianlu’s phone rang. He glanced at it and couldn’t help but smile at Chen Feng, "She really couldn’t resist being talked about."

Then he took the call; it was from his mistress. After chatting for a while, he hung up and told Chen Feng, "She’s just nearby and wants to come over, I’ll introduce you to her."

Chen Feng looked at him in shock, "Are you planning to make it public? That’s overly bold, isn’t it?"

Kong Tianlu laughed freely, "After being harshly criticized by Tang Yue at work, I’ve figured it out. We can’t live harmoniously together anymore. Staying together will only make us both miserable. So I’ve decided to divorce her, part ways, and find happiness separately."

Oh wow! Chen Feng was somewhat impressed by him.

No matter what, they had shared many years of feelings. Tang Yue had been with him since high school. She had a bad temper and numerous flaws, but her feelings for Kong Tianlu weren’t fake. She surely had good moments with him, and at least provided a house as part of the dowry.

Now, Kong Tianlu talks about divorce without hesitation. This determination made Chen Feng feel ashamed.

A few minutes later, the mistress, Xia Xiaozhen, arrived. Although Chen Feng felt a bit of disdain, he managed to keep a decent face, offering her a smile when Kong Tianlu introduced her.

Xia Xiaozhen wasn’t particularly pretty, just slightly above average. But she had a good figure with a big chest, and her smile came with two dimples, making her quite endearing. No wonder she captivated Kong Tianlu.

Sitting next to Kong Tianlu, Xia Xiaozhen occasionally put food on his plate, quietly persuaded him not to drink too much, and kept touching him from time to time, making Chen Feng’s teeth ache as he watched.

Just then, Chen Feng’s WeChat notification sounded. He picked up his phone and checked, announced he had to leave, and bid them farewell.

Now accompanied by his mistress, Kong Tianlu didn’t insist on retaining him, merely indicating to keep in touch in the future.

Chen Feng had just left Yang Restaurant when Tang Yue stormed in, full of anger.

In Kong Tianlu’s shocked expression, Tang Yue, like an agile pantheress, rushed forward and grabbed the still-reacting Xia Xiaozhen by the hair, pulling her to the ground, and then furiously kicked her in the stomach several times.

At Xia Xiaozhen’s panicked cries, Kong Tianlu immediately stepped forward and slapped Tang Yue.

"Oh wow! You dare hit me for this mistress? I’m going to fight you!"

Tang Yue immediately picked up two dishes from the table and hurled them at them, splashing soup all over their clothes, leaving them in a very sorry state.
