After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 1676 The Original Appearance
Just after eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Feng left his home and drove to Rongyuan Building.

This morning, Shen Lin needed to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. The appointment was at 9:30, and it had been arranged several days ago. Therefore, Chen Feng specially arrived an hour and a half early to pick her up.

He skillfully drove the car into the underground parking lot, then took the elevator directly to the front door of Shen Lin's residence.

He first rang the doorbell symbolically, waited a few seconds, and when there was no response from inside, he opened the door directly through the combination lock and went inside.

At this moment, Shen Lin had finished packing and was carrying a portable bag, walking towards the door.

"You've arrived." Shen Lin looked at Chen Feng with a smile on her face.

Chen Feng nodded, his gaze falling on the bag beside her, and asked with concern, "Is everything ready? Shall we leave now?"

Shen Lin replied, "Well, there's nothing to do at home anyway, so I might as well go over there sooner."

Chen Feng checked the time; it was just past 8:30. The hospital was only a ten-minute drive away. However, arriving early was always better than being late due to rushing.

"Okay, let's go now."

As he spoke, Chen Feng stepped forward and naturally took the handbag from Shen Lin's hand.

Seeing this, Shen Lin smiled slightly and followed closely behind Chen Feng as they walked out of the house.

Upon reaching the elevator, Chen Feng pressed the down button. The elevator doors opened, and he considerately stepped aside, gesturing for Shen Lin to go first.

Seeing Chen Feng's considerate manner, she felt a warmth in her heart and stepped lightly into the elevator. Chen Feng followed her in, turned around, and pressed the close button.

The elevator descended smoothly, and Shen Lin said with a smile, "Your current appearance is a little hard for me to get used to."

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh: "You're a key person under protection now, so it's perfectly normal for me to be more attentive and cautious."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin subconsciously reached out and touched her lower abdomen. More than three months pregnant, her belly was already slightly protruding, and a new life was growing inside.

Chen Feng's gaze followed her movements, and he earnestly advised, "In the future, when you go out alone, you must be extra careful. Try to reduce the number of times you go out. If you must go out, be sure to bring Tang Yue with you, and try to avoid crowded places."

Shen Lin nodded gently and replied, "I know, I'll be careful. Besides, I rarely go out these days, and my body tends to get lazy; I'm too lazy to move."

"Have you been taking those qi and blood tonics I prescribed for you on time?" Chen Feng asked with concern.

"Yes, I'm eating them. I feel much better physically than before, and I have more energy."

"That's good. This trip will also allow the doctor to conduct a follow-up examination."

"Ah."

The elevator quickly arrived at the underground parking lot. Chen Feng led her to his car, carefully opened the back door for her, and reminded her to fasten her seatbelt after she was seated.

This can truly be described as meticulous.

The two didn't talk much on the way, but the atmosphere wasn't dull. A dozen minutes later, the car arrived at the hospital without incident.

After parking the car, Chen Feng carefully escorted her through the crowd towards the obstetrics and gynecology department.

They arrived at a little past nine o'clock, more than twenty minutes before their appointment at nine-thirty, and waited patiently in the waiting area.

The two found empty seats and sat down. After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng suggested to Shen Lin, "I think after this prenatal checkup, you should go to a postpartum care center. That way, you won't have to come to the hospital so often. Otherwise, you have to make appointments and wait in line every time, and there are so many people at the hospital. It's not good if you get hurt. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin cast a puzzled look at her and said dismissively, "I'm not that delicate. Look around, there are so many expectant mothers, aren't they all coming to the hospital for prenatal checkups like this?"

Chen Feng continued to persuade them, "It's not that they don't want to go to a postpartum care center, but most of them don't have the financial means. If someone is willing to cover the costs for them, do you think they would refuse? Besides, postpartum care centers have professional nurses and doctors on duty 24 hours a day, and the environment and services are much more comprehensive. It's much safer than staying at home. Since we have the financial means, our main concern is for the safety of you and your unborn child. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?"

Shen Lin hesitated for a moment. Before this, she hadn't really thought about going to a postpartum care center. On the one hand, she felt the cost was too high and she was reluctant to spend the money. On the other hand, she was mainly not used to living in an unfamiliar environment for a long time.

But now, after listening to Chen Feng's analysis, I feel that everything he said makes sense. Admittedly, the vast majority of pregnant women do not go to postpartum care centers and come to the hospital for prenatal checkups in person. But as Chen Feng said, if they didn't have to worry about money, probably very few would not want to go to a postpartum care center to enjoy more professional maternity services.

In addition, there is the crucial safety consideration.

Although Rongyuan Building is only three or four kilometers from the hospital, a very short distance, there is still a certain traffic risk involved in traveling to and from each prenatal checkup, whether by car or public transport. The probability of a traffic accident may be low, but it is a real potential hazard, and it is naturally best to avoid it if possible.

Therefore, after some consideration, Shen Lin finally nodded and said, "Going to a postpartum care center is fine, but we must choose carefully, and the location should be close to the hospital."

Seeing that she agreed, Chen Feng immediately nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find you the best one."

Previously, Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan had also gone to a postpartum care center after becoming pregnant, and both of them had reported very good results, with both children being born safely. Chen Feng was considering having Shen Lin stay at the same place they had stayed at.

Chen Feng wasn't worried about being recognized at the postpartum care center. After all, some perceptive staff members had already noticed something amiss when he visited Liu Hong and her two daughters.

Such a thing might cause astonishment and gossip in ordinary families, but it's commonplace among the wealthy. The main clientele of postpartum care centers consists largely of expectant mothers who, for various reasons, cannot stay at home or lack family members to accompany them. Those who know, know the reasons.

Besides, compared to the safety and health of Shen Lin and her unborn child, Chen Feng was less concerned about whether he would be recognized by the people at the postpartum care center.

Seeing Chen Feng so happy, Shen Lin felt a surge of warmth in her heart, after all, his arrangement was out of concern for her.

"Then, I'd like Tang Yue to live with me there, is that okay?" Shen Lin asked softly.

"Of course, postpartum care centers allow family members or other caregivers to accompany guests during their stay."

"Then there's no problem. Otherwise, I would definitely feel very uncomfortable living there alone."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "After you move to the postpartum care center, Tang Yue will have much less to worry about. At least she won't have to buy groceries, cook, do laundry, or clean every day anymore."

Shen Lin shook her head and explained, "She's in charge of grocery shopping, but I also help with cooking, and we share the laundry and cleaning too." Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Is it that she doesn't want to do it, or that she makes you do it?"

"Of course not, it's something I wanted to do myself," Shen Lin quickly explained. "Even though I'm pregnant, I still need to do some moderate exercise. Doing some light housework is a good way to get some exercise. Besides, I'm only a little over three months pregnant now, and my belly isn't that big. If I were seven or eight months pregnant, I naturally wouldn't be doing these things anymore."

Chen Feng was relieved, but still reminded her, "Although you and she are friends, you are paying her to take care of you, and the salary is not low. Don't be too polite to her. She should do what she is supposed to do."

Shen Lin smiled and nodded: "I know, you reminded me before, I know what I'm doing."

The two were talking quietly when suddenly a voice rang out in surprise: "Shen Lin, it really is you!"

The two looked up at the same time and saw a pregnant woman in her late twenties, her belly protruding, staring at Shen Lin with a look of surprise. Beside her stood a slightly overweight man in his thirties wearing glasses, carefully supporting her; he was clearly her husband.

"Hello," Shen Lin greeted the pregnant woman with a smile.

The woman's gaze lingered on Chen Feng again, filled with a mixture of inquiry and curiosity, as she smiled and asked, "So... you two got back together?"

Chen Feng recognized the woman at this moment. She was Shen Lin's colleague. He had met her a few times before, but they were not familiar with each other, and he couldn't even remember her name.

Therefore, he simply nodded politely to her. Faced with her somewhat direct question, to avoid embarrassing Shen Lin, he nodded and replied, "Yes, we've gotten back together."

"That's wonderful! You two are a perfect match, and you've had such a long-standing relationship. It was such a pity you broke up before. It's great that you're back together now. You should cherish each other from now on." This female colleague was clearly a kind-hearted person.

Shen Lin smiled and cleverly changed the subject, asking, "How many months pregnant are you now?"

"Almost seven months along, how about you? Looks like you're three or four months along, right?" the female colleague asked with a smile.

Shen Lin nodded frankly: "Yes, more or less."

"This is my second child. You know, my first child was a son, and he was very naughty. I really didn't want to have another one, but my husband insisted on having a daughter. He begged me for three whole years, and I finally decided to have this second child after he kept pestering me. Fortunately, I had the experience of the first child, and the second pregnancy has been very smooth so far. It wasn't as difficult as the first one. I guess daughters are much more docile than sons; they didn't make much noise in the womb."

"You already know it's a girl?"

“Yes, my aunt is the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department at this hospital.” The female colleague said with a hint of pride, and then added enthusiastically, “If you ever need anything, such as arranging a ward, just let me know. I’ll talk to my aunt.”

Shen Lin did not completely reject the kindness, but simply smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you in advance."

"By the way, do you know if it's a boy or a girl in your belly?" the female colleague asked curiously.

Shen Lin gently stroked her abdomen, shook her head, and said, "I'm only a little over three months pregnant, and I haven't gone for a checkup yet. I'll probably have to wait until at least four months."

"That's true. I only found out more than four months later. If you want to check then, I can ask my aunt for help."

Shen Lin politely declined, saying, "No need to trouble yourself. This is my first child, and I'll love it whether it's a boy or a girl."

My female colleague laughed and said, "That's true. I didn't care at all when I was pregnant with my first child. My husband, on the other hand, always wanted a daughter, but we had a son instead, and he wasn't very happy at first. Does your husband prefer a daughter or a son?"

Chen Feng immediately chimed in, "I'm the same way. I love all children as long as they're my own."

The female colleague nodded repeatedly, then turned to her husband beside her: "That's right. As long as they are your own children, you should love them the same, whether they are boys or girls. Honey, did you hear me? Don't end up only loving your daughter and not your son, I'm telling you."

Her husband, standing nearby, quickly nodded with a smile, "Of course it hurts the same, it definitely hurts the same."

The female colleague wanted to say something more, but her name happened to appear on the call number screen in the waiting area. She then stopped talking, greeted Shen Lin and Chen Feng, and walked towards the examination room with her husband's help.

Once everyone had left, Chen Feng asked with some curiosity, "Are you on good terms with her now?"

Shen Lin shook her head and explained, "She took a long leave of absence three or four months ago and hasn't been to work. We used to be in different departments and basically had no interaction. The reason she's so enthusiastic towards me now is mainly because I'm now 'famous' in the unit. My nickname is now 'Section Chief Killer,' and three section-level or higher cadres have been dismissed and investigated because of me. Everyone in the unit is saying that I have a powerful backer."

After saying that, Shen Lin looked at Chen Feng with a half-smile.

Chen Feng then suddenly realized the reason why his female colleague's attitude had suddenly become so warm.

Indeed, there is no such thing as unprovoked enthusiasm in this world. Especially when someone who was not familiar with you before suddenly becomes very friendly towards you, it is mostly not because her personality has changed, but because you are no longer the same person you used to be.

Chen Feng laughed and said, "You don't need to thank me. To be honest, this kind of thing has little to do with me. They were just unlucky to offend you."

Shen Lin, of course, didn't believe Chen Feng's nonchalant words. In her view, the downfall of the two section chiefs and the deputy director was more or less related to Chen Feng, especially the deputy director. Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences in the world?

However, she had no intention of arguing with Chen Feng; she simply smiled and moved on from the topic.

Chen Feng chatted with her for a while longer, and finally the queuing system called Shen Lin's name.

Next came a series of tests: blood routine, urine routine, fetal heart rate monitoring, blood sugar and blood pressure measurement, and screening for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B.

After going through the entire process, you still need to patiently wait for the inspection report. Some reports for routine items can be obtained in twenty or thirty minutes, while others may take one or two hours.

Given the long time involved, the two naturally couldn't just sit idly in the hospital and wait. So they walked out of the hospital and found a relatively quiet street nearby to stroll around.

The two hadn't strolled around so leisurely in a long time. After walking for a while, Shen Lin suddenly reached out and gently took Chen Feng's hand.

Chen Feng felt the warmth from her palm, glanced at her, and caught a glimpse of her barely perceptible nervousness and lack of confidence. He didn't speak, but simply took her hand in return, as a way of responding to her.

Just like her colleague said before, it's not so easy to completely give up a relationship that has lasted for so many years.

Then, Chen Feng naturally took her hand and continued walking forward side by side, as if they had never been separated and everything had returned to its original state.

Thank you so much, hehehe001, for the 5000 Qidian coins! Thank you!!!
