After the divorce, I started to transfer

Family Courtyard
May weather has quietly turned to summer, with a hint of heat in the air, but the central air conditioning in the villa is running silently, sending out refreshing coolness.

The two embraced in the living room on the first floor, feeling no heat at all, but rather a just-right warmth and comfort.

This quiet embrace allowed them to feel an unprecedented spiritual connection.

For Yang Ziying in particular, this hug with Chen Feng had a completely different feel compared to any of the previous ones.

To be more specific, it is a kind of intimate connection that is ingrained in one's very bones.

The reason she felt this so deeply was because she was carrying their child in her womb.

This quietly sprouting new life seemed like a wondrous bridge, giving her a sudden and incredibly clear understanding.

She, Chen Feng, and the child in her womb are an inseparable whole. Once the child is born, the three of them will be a true family, the closest people to each other in the world.

After a long while, Chen Feng reluctantly let go of her, gazed into her eyes, and said with a smile, "Now, you've finally gotten what you wanted. But are you really ready to be a mother?"

Yang Ziying nodded calmly, her tone certain: "Of course. I started planning to have a child last year and have made full mental preparations for it. Don't worry, I've said it before, I don't need you to take responsibility for this, and I never thought of using a child to force you to get married."

Hearing these words, Chen Feng felt a mix of emotions, somewhat complicated. To be honest, if it weren't for the entanglements with other women and children, marrying a top-tier female celebrity like Yang Ziying would actually be a pretty good thing.

This is not only because Yang Ziying is a top female star and famous, but also because her personality, appearance, temperament and other aspects are outstanding, which perfectly match Chen Feng's imagination of a partner.

What is most commendable is that she willingly and without regard for status bore him children. What man in the world wouldn't be moved by that?

Chen Feng was no exception.

"Don't worry. I will never abandon this child. We will raise him together to adulthood."

At this moment, Chen Feng could only make such a solemn promise.

Although Yang Ziying had previously told Chen Feng that he wouldn't have to raise the child, deep down she naturally hoped that Chen Feng could fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

Chen Feng may not be her husband, but he must be the father of her child.

Chen Feng's promise was the answer she had been silently hoping for all along. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she was deeply moved.

After all, she didn't want her child to lack a father's love in the future.

"Chen Feng, thank you."

Yang Ziying sincerely thanked him, and then once again couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.

After lingering tenderly for a while, the two separated again and sat down side by side on the sofa.

"So, do you plan to stay here and rest during your pregnancy?"

Chen Feng asked a very practical question.

Yang Ziying's identity is somewhat special. She is a household name and a true national-level actress. Most Chinese people know her and have seen her TV dramas to some extent.

Therefore, if her premarital pregnancy were exposed by the media, the resulting impact and public opinion storm would be immeasurable.

If Yang Ziying decides to stay in Xiuzhou to prepare for childbirth, then the secrecy must be kept absolutely tight. Especially during prenatal checkups, she would either have to find a trusted acquaintance at the hospital in advance, give them a generous bribe, and ensure that the other party keeps quiet.

Alternatively, you can hire a private doctor to come to your home for the relevant examinations. The safest approach would be to purchase a complete set of relevant medical examination equipment in advance and then spend a significant amount of money to hire a professional obstetrician-gynecologist to live in your home.

Yang Ziying had clearly thought all of this through. So, she directly stated her plan: "I plan to go to Europe to give birth after I get through the first trimester, that is, after the fetus is three months old and the condition is stable."

Chen Feng wasn't too surprised that she chose to give birth abroad, as many wealthy people in China do the same, with the most common choice being to give birth in Mexico so that the child can have Mexican citizenship at birth. However, he truly hadn't expected Yang Ziying to choose Europe.

"There are many countries in Europe, which one do you specifically plan to visit?" Chen Feng asked directly.

"I'm mainly considering the four Nordic countries. I've done a lot of research, and Norway and Sweden are both very good. These two countries not only have top-notch medical care and a comprehensive social welfare system, but also very friendly policies for pregnant women and new mothers. In addition, and most importantly, the crime rate is extremely low, and the social security is quite good."

"I remember that neither of these two countries has English as an official language, right?" Chen Feng asked uncertainly.

Yang Ziying had clearly done her homework. She smiled and said, “The official languages ​​of both countries are indeed their own languages, Swedish and Norwegian, respectively. Both belong to the Germanic language family and are mutually intelligible. However, the English proficiency rate in both countries is very high; the vast majority of people can speak English, especially in Norway, where over 90% are quite fluent. Therefore, communicating with locals in English there will be no problem at all. As you know, my English is pretty good; I won't even need to find a translator after I get there.”

After listening, Chen Feng said with some emotion, "It seems you really planned everything in advance, and you even did such detailed preparations."

"Of course. I had the idea of ​​having a child last year, and it wasn't until this year that I was finally able to put it into practice, and I was so lucky to get pregnant. During this time, of course, I had already planned everything out."

"Between these two countries, which do you prefer? Norway or Sweden?" "Actually, the conditions in both countries are quite similar. The main reason I traveled so far was for secrecy. However, considering all factors, I personally prefer Norway."

"As long as it's your decision, I'll support you completely. I'll make time to go with you and check out the environment in person. If you feel there's anything unsuitable, we can change it at any time."

Chen Feng's thoughtful and considerate response pleased Yang Ziying greatly. She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.

"Did you tell Sister Lian about this? And... what about your parents?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ziying gave a wry smile: "When I went for the tests, it was Sister Lian who asked an acquaintance to help me anonymously and secretly, so she knew as soon as the test results came out. Also, Xiaoyuan (my assistant) went to get the test results for me. As for my family, I haven't told them yet. As soon as I got the definite results, I notified you to come over immediately."

When do you plan to tell your family about this?

Yang Ziying looked conflicted and said, "I plan to keep it from my parents for as long as possible, at least until the baby is born. But I'm not sure about my sister... I don't know if I should tell her now."

"Hasn't your relationship with your sister improved a lot? Are you worried that if she finds out, she'll tell your parents?"

"That's not the main reason. Even if she did tell my parents, it wouldn't be a big deal. I'm an adult now, and my parents can't control me anymore. Besides, they know my temperament; I'm always stubborn, and once I've made up my mind, I will never change it."

"So what are you worried about?"

“I’m afraid that if my sister finds out about this, she’ll come looking for me immediately, and she might even insist on going abroad with me to take care of me. If she really does that, I’ll feel uneasy.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this good too? This is called sisterly affection."

Yang Ziying smiled wryly and said, "But she has her own formal job, and this period is crucial for her professional title evaluation. She has a good chance of being promoted to associate professor this year. If I delay her career because of my matter, wouldn't I become the sinner?"

“But it’s probably not a good idea for you to keep this from her. After all, she’s your only sister. You said before that you two can talk about anything and have a very good relationship. If you deliberately keep this important life event from her, she will definitely be very unhappy when she finds out later.”

"Then tell me, what should I do?"

Yang Ziying looked at Chen Feng with a pleading expression.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "Deliberately hiding it is definitely not an option. Why don't you subtly ask her when the results of the professional title evaluation are expected? Maybe she's already finished her evaluation process?"

Yang Ziying explained, "She made this clear to me a long time ago. She submitted her application materials in March, and the review process started in May, which is this month. The whole process will last until August. So, the next few months are crucial for her. She must work twice as hard, otherwise she may not pass the review. Even if the results are announced in August, as long as she is successfully promoted to associate professor, she cannot easily leave her post for an extended period, otherwise it will have a significant impact on her future career."

Chen Feng then said, "Why don't you wait until August, after her professional title evaluation results are officially released, and then tell her about this? If she fails to pass the associate professor evaluation, it's fine for her to take leave to come and take care of you, or even accompany you abroad. If she passes the evaluation smoothly, it's fine for her to take a few days off to come and see you, as long as you persuade her not to accompany you abroad."

Yang Ziying shook her head with a wry smile and said, "She told me long ago that as soon as I got pregnant, she would immediately drop everything to be with me during my pregnancy, take care of me personally, and welcome the birth of our child together. She said she would love my child as her own, and that everything she had in the future would be left to my child to inherit. Of course, in exchange, my child would have to take care of her in her old age and see her off when she dies."

Chen Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "What does she mean? Does she really intend to live out her days alone?"

Yang Ziying hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "She does have this plan, and I can understand her. I mentioned to you before that she had a boyfriend she was in love with for many years during college, but he went abroad to study and quickly fell for someone else. That experience hurt her greatly, directly leading to her unwillingness to get involved in relationships again, let alone get married. In addition... there is another very important reason, she has some health problems, and she may never be able to have children in this lifetime."

"Is she sick?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Yang Ziying nodded silently and sighed softly, "She's always been a strong-willed person, bearing all her hardships alone, very resilient. She had severe menstrual cramps when she was young, but she never told my mother, always thinking it was normal for girls, and just silently endured it. She kept putting it off until college, when the pain became unbearable and she finally went to the hospital for a checkup, only to be diagnosed with endometriosis, and the condition was already quite serious. Her boyfriend at the time knew about this. Perhaps… that's a major reason why he fell for someone else so quickly. After all, not many men would willingly marry a woman who can't have children."

It seems that Yang Ziying has truly accepted Chen Feng from the bottom of her heart, to the point that she has confided even her own sister's most private secrets to him.

However, she had no choice but to speak up. After all, their future child would be responsible for taking care of her sister in her old age and seeing her off when she passed away. If she didn't explain the whole story clearly, she was afraid that Chen Feng would harbor resentment.

After hearing the inside story, Chen Feng felt a pang of sadness and said with emotion, "Your sister has really had a tough time. No wonder she's always been reluctant to get married. Your aunt and uncle probably don't know about this."

Yang Ziying nodded and said, "Of course I don't know. If they knew, they would only worry and be sad along with me, so it's better to keep them in the dark. It was only after we completely reconciled a couple of years ago that she told me herself, and she also told me to keep it a secret. That's why she kept urging me to get married and have a child as soon as possible. After all, our family's third generation can only rely on me. Later, when she saw that I had no intention of getting married, she could only resort to urging me to have a child, suggesting that I simply find a handsome man that I find pleasing to the eye and have a child, or simply go abroad for assisted reproduction and have a beautiful mixed-race child."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but retort, "Your sister really has a lot of ideas, mixed-race children, you know. Actually, she could have a mixed-race baby herself through assisted reproductive technology. Since no one knows her physical condition, she could just say the child is her own, and who would know the truth? Or, she could just adopt a child."

Yang Ziying smiled upon hearing this and said, "How can that be the same? I am, after all, her own sister. My child is related to her by blood, right? This is much closer than an adopted child or a child created purely through technology."

Considering her sister's health and Yang Ziying's feelings, Chen Feng didn't want to continue criticizing, so he nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. Your child is definitely closer to you than any other person's child."

Yang Ziying then said with satisfaction, "Then what do you think about having our child take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days?"

Chen Feng thought to himself, "How old are our children now? And we're already thinking about such a distant issue as retirement."

Moreover, this child has already been burdened with an extra heavy responsibility even before being born.

However, Chen Feng was ultimately a reasonable man, and he nodded almost without hesitation, saying, "Of course, there's no problem at all. After all, she's your own sister, which means she's our child's aunt. She'll only be one child in the third generation of your Yang family, so it's only right and proper to take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days." (End of Chapter)
