Chapter 334: Chapter 199: Richer Than I Imagined

Over the next two days, Chen Feng basically stayed at home, only occasionally going out with Little Rui for a walk, browsing the supermarket, buying groceries, and such.

He spent most of his time absorbing energy from the purchased artworks and working out.

After these two days, he felt that his body had become stronger, and there was certainly no discomfort.

Previously, he had felt dizzy and had nosebleeds back home, as if he had been dreaming.

Anyway, now he sees hope in life and has become more enthusiastic about absorbing the energy from paintings and calligraphy.

However, it’s still the same issue. Now he enters meditation once a day, and he can absorb invisible energy for at most a little over an hour each time. If he tries to continue after that, there is no effect. His body seems to have a limited capacity.

That is to say, he can now only spend a little over an hour each day absorbing energy. Trying to absorb more doesn’t work.

This situation existed before, but at that time Chen Feng had only confirmed that absorbing energy in this manner was beneficial to his body. He couldn’t confirm whether it would delay or even cure his critical illness. Therefore, he didn’t particularly focus on experimenting with the maximum amount he could absorb each day.

But after the bout of dizziness and nosebleeds back home, he confirmed it. After these two days of experiments, the maximum is about an hour and a half, roughly 90 minutes, and there’s currently no way to extend that.

Chen Feng is somewhat helpless about this. In his estimation, if he could absorb energy for three to four hours every day, then over the long term, his critical illness might really have a chance of disappearing entirely.

Now, he can only try to absorb as much energy as possible each day.

While Chen Feng is staying home, he also starts preparing with Little Rui to continue last year’s unfinished nationwide travel. To this end, Chen Feng has handed over planning the travel itinerary to Little Rui.

Previously, the travel routes and plans were arranged by Little Rui, with Lin Wan and Mengting only providing support and suggestions.

Little Rui is quite adept at this.

The two plan to stay in Xiu Zhou for a few more days before setting off, and besides them, Chen Feng also plans to bring Mengting along, but he doesn’t plan to include Lin Wan in this trip.

Little Rui doesn’t object to this; she just expresses her own opinion, wanting to learn how to do travel live streaming like Lin Wan to earn some extra money while traveling.

Previously, Lin Wan did travel live streaming with their group and earned quite a bit. Little Rui also got a cut because she helped with the streaming and interacted with the viewers.

This time, since they are not going with Lin Wan, they can completely handle the live streaming themselves, and it would be even better if Mengting could join.

Having experienced Lin Wan’s previous live streaming, Chen Feng isn’t very resistant to it, as he generally doesn’t appear on camera, so it doesn’t affect him much. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he agrees.

Next, Little Rui contacts Mengting, and Mengting immediately agrees without much thought, as she needs money now. Moreover, she moves to Red Villa Bay the same night, and Lin Wan doesn’t come along.

This surprises Chen Feng and Little Rui a bit.

"You finally came around, not bringing Lin Wan along this time?" Chen Feng asks with a smile.

Mengting nods somewhat emotionally and says, "Living with her can indeed be a bit... exhausting. Especially after returning home for the New Year, living with her again, and even sharing the same room and bed, really makes me uncomfortable. It’s better to be separate, so we can still be friends in the future."

Chen Feng laughs and says, "You’ve got the right idea. Actually, I think you should associate with her less in the future, or even not at all, to avoid being exploited by her."

Mengting purses her lips without saying anything, clearly not agreeing with Chen Feng’s suggestion.

Chen Feng doesn’t mind this and says, "As your personal assistant, I’m counting from today as your start date. From now on, the household chores here, including cooking, washing, cleaning, and housekeeping, will be handled by you and Little Rui together. How you arrange and distribute it, you can discuss among yourselves. Any issues?"

Mengting nods quickly and happily says, "Of course, there are no issues."

This time, she came here to be more involved in Chen Feng’s life.

Little Rui opens her mouth but ultimately doesn’t object.

So, Mengting stays at Red Villa Bay. The next day, Mengting tells Chen Feng that Lin Wan has also moved out of East Lake Villa.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng takes Little Rui and Mengting to check it out, finding the villa slightly messy, with some trash in the living room, bedroom, and kitchen. Otherwise, there are no issues.

However, this shows that Lin Wan really isn’t very considerate. She let them live in such a nice villa at a low cost, and upon moving out, she not only fails to express gratitude but also doesn’t clean up, which is somewhat excessive.

Seeing this, Mengting feels embarrassed and starts cleaning up immediately, with Little Rui joining her.

After tidying up, the three sit in the living room to rest. Out of curiosity, Chen Feng asks Mengting where Lin Wan moved to.

It’s not out of concern but genuine curiosity.

Mengting says Lin Wan moved in with her two classmates, the ones who celebrated Lin Wan’s birthday with Chen Feng—Wu Bingyao and Li Li.

The place she moved to is quite far from here, taking over half an hour by bus.

Chen Feng feels a bit relieved upon hearing this.

With some distance between their residences, there’s at least less chance for Mengting and him to be disturbed.

After resting for a while, the three return to Red Villa Bay.

While alone, Little Rui can’t help but ask Chen Feng: "Are you just going to leave East Lake Villa empty like that?"

Chen Feng smiles at her and says, "Let it be empty. Do you expect me to sublet it?"

Little Rui complains slightly, "You really did say the lease was up just to rush Lin Wan out, but there’s actually more than a month left. Two thousand dollars a month is just going to waste. You’re doing charity."

Paying two thousand dollars in monthly rent for nothing, even though it’s not her money, Little Rui feels a sting for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng says generously, "Do you think I’d care about such a trivial sum right now?"

Little Rui gives him a look and says, "If you had planned it earlier, you wouldn’t have renewed the lease. Isn’t this just wasting money?"

Chen Feng responds nonchalantly, "Alright. It’s not a complete waste. We can occasionally go and stay there, especially during summer when it’s near East Lake. We can live there to escape the heat, walk along the lake’s embankment, enjoy the breeze, and cool off."

Little Rui widens her eyes, "Summer? It’s only March now; are you planning to continue renting?"

Chen Feng shakes his head with a smile, "Of course not."

Little Rui asks suspiciously, "Then why did you say we’d spend the summer there?"

Chen Feng speaks with some pride, "I’m planning to buy that place."

Little Rui’s mouth opens wide, momentarily stunned into silence.

She originally thought Chen Feng was just a small wealthy individual, the type with assets worth millions. But owning a villa in Red Villa Bay directly pushes her estimation of Chen Feng’s wealth to tens of millions, at least tenfold.
