After the divorce, I started to transfer

Around 3 PM, it started raining outside, with thunder and lightning.

Guo Mengyao lay lazily on the bed, ignoring the wind and rain blowing into the room, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Feng had no choice but to get up and go close the window.

But her house was so big that there was obviously more than one window. There was no other way but to go all the way and leave Guo Mengyao's bedroom, then run to the other rooms and close all the windows.

After finishing her work and returning to her room, Guo Mengyao finally came to her senses and chuckled, "You're so thoughtful, you even went to close the window for me."

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her and said irritably, "You look like you're about to die, what can I do? I can't just let your house flood, can I? There's a thunderstorm outside."

Guo Mengyao frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean 'your home'? This place will be your home from now on."

Chen Feng resisted the urge to retort, forced a smile, and changed the subject: "It's almost four o'clock now, when are you going to pick up your daughter from school?"

"It's still early. It's close by, we can pick her up at five o'clock... Why don't we go pick her up together? You haven't seen her in a long time, she almost doesn't remember you anymore, this is a good opportunity for you two to meet again."

Chen Feng wanted to slap himself when he heard this. It was really a case of bringing up the most sensitive topic. He really didn't want to be a stepfather, but he was already sleeping in the same bed with her mother, and there was probably no possibility of breaking up. Especially after the child in her belly was born, his child and her current daughter would be siblings.

So, although Chen Feng didn't want to go, he still agreed seemingly naturally: "Okay, let's go pick her up together."

Guo Mengyao was very satisfied with Chen Feng's "unhesitating" answer and said with a smile, "Qianqian has a good impression of you. A while ago, she suddenly remembered you and asked me if we had broken up. She's so precocious."

Chen Feng smiled awkwardly and asked, "What did you say?"

Guo Mengyao rolled her eyes at him: "Of course I said we didn't break up. Otherwise, would I have said we did?"

"She doesn't object to you finding a boyfriend, or even remarrying?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

“She’s eight years old now and knows her biological father is a bastard, so of course she won’t object to me finding someone else, but only if she approves. She has a very good impression of you. Last time we talked about you, she clearly said she wouldn’t object to me being with you.”

Chen Feng nodded in approval: "He's a sensible child."

Guo Mengyao was even happier when she heard Chen Feng praise her daughter, and immediately boasted, "She is indeed very sensible, smart and loves to learn. The first thing she does when she gets home is to do her homework, and I don't even need to tutor her, which saves me the money for a tutor. Moreover, she always gets very good grades on tests, always scoring above 95 points, and she has even gotten full marks several times."

"Is she in first grade?"

"Yes, I'll be a sophomore in the second half of the year."

"The most important thing now is to cultivate her love of learning. If she keeps it up, she will do well in her studies in the future. However, when she gets to the third grade, it will be necessary to hire a tutor. After all, everyone is taking exams. If your daughter is willing, it is very necessary to spend some money to hire a professional tutor. In addition, if she is interested, you can also enroll her in one or two extracurricular classes, such as dance or art."

Guo Mengyao laughed and said, "She has no interest in dance or art, but she is very interested in mental arithmetic. More than two months ago, she saw some peers on TV who were very good at mental arithmetic, and they could calculate faster than a calculator. Then she said she wanted to learn, so I signed her up. She has two lessons every weekend, and now she can quickly do addition and subtraction within three digits in her mind."

"That's impressive, learning this is a good idea."

He's only in first grade and eight years old, and he's already accomplished this much in just over two months. That's quite impressive.

"Haha, she's like me in that respect; I've always been good at math."

The two chatted and laughed, mainly talking about her daughter, which made Guo Mengyao very happy.

After chatting for almost half an hour, it was nearly 4:30 in the afternoon when Guo Mengyao finally got out of bed.

She first rushed to the bathroom to wash up, put on her clothes, tidied herself up a bit, and did some makeup before pulling Chen Feng downstairs to drive to pick up their daughter from school.

The school is indeed very close to where she lives; it takes less than five minutes by car, just over a kilometer.

The school is certainly a good school, the Experimental Primary School.

The two stood at the door for about ten minutes before seeing her daughter, Guo Qianqian, who took her mother's surname. She had clearly grown taller and bigger than when they last met.

Wearing a school uniform and with a ponytail, she was a beautiful little girl with delicate features, very lovable.

Guo Mengyao pulled her daughter over, walked her to Chen Feng, and said with a smile, "Qianqian, do you still remember your Uncle Chen? Say hello to him."

Guo Qianqian was stunned when she saw Chen Feng, then looked a little shy, but instead of avoiding him, she obediently and cheerfully greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Chen."

"Hello to you too," Chen Feng quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Guo Mengyao happily took her daughter's hand and walked towards her car, while Chen Feng followed slightly behind them.

Guo Mengyao had only taken a few steps with her daughter when a bespectacled man in his thirties, holding the hand of a little boy, blocked their way.

"Mom, Sisi, we meet again."

"Oh, Zhang Haoqiang's father."

After all, he was the father of her daughter's classmate, so Guo Mengyao couldn't just ignore him and had to stop and respond.

Zhang Haoqiang's father squatted down slightly, looking at Guo Qianqian with a loving expression, and said with a smile, "My son said he would treat Qianqian to chocolate at noon today, but Qianqian didn't want it. However, this little rascal insisted on giving it to her, which made Qianqian angry. She pushed him to the ground, and he even cried."

"Oh, is that so?" Guo Mengyao was a little embarrassed upon hearing this and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll have Qianqian apologize to Haoqiang."

Guo Qianqian replied coldly, "I'm not apologizing."

Guo Mengyao was even more embarrassed.

Zhang Haoqiang's father, appearing magnanimous, waved his hand and said, "What's there to apologize for, little kids? Besides, it's not like Qianqian was wrong either. My Haoqiang was wrong too, and he even cried. I feel ashamed, haha."

Guo Mengyao could only smile awkwardly at this.

“My son really likes Xixi, so he’s always wanted to be friends with her, but Xixi, well, she’s very proud and doesn’t want to talk to him. It’s so frustrating that my son has to try every day to please her. Honestly, I don’t even know what to say.”

At this moment, Zhang Haoqiang, that little brat, suddenly said to Guo Qianqian, "Qianqian, I have a lot of fun toys at home. I have a complete set of Armor Hero toys. If you become my friend, I'll give you... half of them."

Guo Qianqian curled her lips in disdain and did not respond.

Zhang Haoqiang immediately added, "Then I'll give them all to you, but you have to be my friend."

Guo Qianqian said coldly, "I won't be friends with you."

Zhang Haoqiang immediately grinned and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zhang Haoqiang's father looked extremely embarrassed, feeling that his son's behavior was incredibly shameful. This sycophantic behavior was just too... pathetic.

Guo Mengyao was also embarrassed, but she really didn't want to continue like this, so she could only say to Zhang Haoqiang's father with a slight apology, "I'm sorry, I'll go back and give Qianqian a good talking-to."

Without waiting for a response, she quickly pulled her daughter aside and walked around them.

Chen Feng, who was a few steps behind, witnessed the whole process and was filled with emotion.

Even such a young kid knows how to be a simp.

Chen Feng quickly caught up with Guo Mengyao, and the three of them soon walked together and got into the car. Chen Feng and Guo Qianqian both sat in the back seat.

Guo Mengyao, sitting in the driver's seat and fastening her seatbelt, asked, "Qianqian, what's going on between you and Zhang Haoqiang? Why did you push him?"

Guo Qianqian said with disgust, "He's so annoying. He's always hanging around me, saying he wants to be friends with me and wants me to play with him. I clearly said I don't like chocolate anymore, but he still insisted on giving it to me. When I got angry, I pushed him away, and then he fell to the ground and started crying. He's more womanly than a woman, and he has no manly spirit at all."

Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.

As Guo Mengyao started the car, she laughed and said, "You even know about manhood? Do you know what manhood is?"

Guo Qianqian immediately said, "Someone like Uncle Chen is clearly a real man."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao burst into laughter again.

Chen Feng said, "I agree with what you said. I'll buy you a gift next time I come over."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qianqian, a little shy but still very happy, immediately said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Guo Mengyao was happy to see the two getting along so well.

After the car entered the main road, she spoke up, "Sissi, since you don't like Zhang Haoqiang, try to ignore him in the future. But don't push him anymore, and definitely don't hit him, understand?"

Guo Qianqian said, "I stopped paying attention to him a long time ago, but he still hangs around me, always trying to make me his friend and play with him."

Upon hearing this, Guo Mengyao was momentarily at a loss. After all, they were in the same class; how could she get her daughter to avoid the other girl?
Guo Mengyao could only say, "Anyway, you shouldn't hit him again. Pushing or hitting people is wrong."

Chen Feng immediately retorted, "You're wrong to say that. At school, you can't just teach your child not to fight back. What if she gets bullied and doesn't dare to fight back? Qianqian, don't listen to your mother. If you encounter bullies or harassment at school, just fight back. If something happens, even if your mother doesn't support you, I will."

When Chen Feng said this, Guo Mengyao wasn't angry at all; instead, she felt warm inside. Guo Qianqian was overjoyed and looked on with affection.

However, Guo Mengyao still said coquettishly, "Get lost! I didn't say that Qianqian shouldn't fight back when hit or talk back when scolded. It's just that we need to analyze each situation specifically. For a kid like Zhang Haoqiang, only my Qianqian has the right to bully him."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "But he harasses Qianqian every day. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll keep harassing her. You'd be annoyed to death if you were in his shoes. Qianqian handled it very well just now, resolutely not giving him a chance. I think after this, he'll at least quiet down for a while and stop harassing Qianqian."

Upon hearing this, Guo Mengyao realized it was true and said, "Qianqian, if he harasses you again, just tell the teacher directly, but you can't hit him again, understand?"

Guo Qianqian replied weakly, "I know."

Guo Mengyao then changed the subject and asked, "Did you eat well at school today?"

Guo Qianqian said somewhat guiltily, "I've already eaten more than half of it."

"Really?"

"real."

"Anyway, don't be a picky eater, and eat plenty of vegetables, okay?"

"understood."

"What did you do at school today?"

"I didn't do much, just went to class, then played games with my classmates after class, ate lunch, and played games."

Guo Mengyao said somewhat unhappily, "Play fewer games in the future, especially 'Eagle Catches Chickens.' Playing it every day makes your school uniform dirty, and it's also a bit dangerous. You even scraped your hand last time, have you forgotten? If you want to play games during breaks, play those girls' games, like jump rope, cat's cradle, or hopscotch. They're all better than 'Eagle Catches Chickens.'"

"understood."

……

Guo Mengyao wanted to continue talking, but they soon arrived at the underground parking lot of the residential complex.

Guo Qianqian looked somewhat relieved as she got out of the car.

The three of them took the elevator upstairs together. After entering the room, Guo Mengyao immediately told her to take a shower.

Guo Qianqian was very obedient. After putting down her schoolbag, she went to take a bath by herself.

Guo Mengyao brought her daughter a change of clothes and came back, smiling as she said to Chen Feng, "How is it? Qianqian is very cute and sensible, isn't she? You're doing well as her father."

Chen Feng's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "Of course I'm not wronged by having such a lovely daughter. However, she's grown up now and can remember things, so I can't be her biological father."

"Why did you have to be her biological father? Can't you be her stepfather? She's always wanted a new dad, and you'd be perfect for her."

Having said all that, what could Chen Feng do? He immediately nodded and said, "As long as she accepts me, of course I'm willing to be her new father."

Guo Mengyao's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly shut him down, saying, "You said it yourself, you want to be her new father."

Chen Feng then realized something was amiss, but he still calmly nodded and said, "Of course, I mean what I say. Your daughter is my daughter too. If she can accept me, I'm happy to be her father. But don't overthink it. I only agreed to be her father, not her husband. You know I can't marry you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to anyone."

Guo Mengyao didn't like hearing the second half of those words, and said with a resentful look, "Then it's fair that you marry Wu Mengting?"

Chen Feng spoke frankly: "Marrying her would definitely be fairer than marrying you."

"you……"

Guo Mengyao was so angry that she raised her hand as if to hit someone, but fortunately she managed to hold back.

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled and stepped forward to hug her, saying, "Don't worry, I basically won't marry Mengting now. Actually, I already laid it all out with her last time. I gave her two choices. One choice is to break up with me, and I'll give her 2 million as a breakup fee, as well as 10% of Fengmang Film and Television shares. The other choice is for me to give her the entire Fengmang Film and Television company as a dowry, but she must accept the existence of you and your confidantes and tacitly approve of your current relationship with me."

Sun Xiaorui had already told them about this in the group chat, and Liu Ying and the others were all incredibly envious and jealous when they heard it. There's no doubt that Chen Feng is extremely generous to Wu Mengting.

Therefore, Guo Mengyao wasn't surprised or shocked when Chen Feng told her this, but on the surface, she pretended to be very shocked and asked, "How did Mengting make her choice?"

Chen Feng smiled helplessly and said, "She didn't choose either one."

Guo Mengyao then asked, "If she suddenly agrees to your second choice in the future, will you really marry her?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "If she doesn't agree now, she'll be even less likely to agree in the future."

Guo Mengyao disagreed, saying, "That's not necessarily true. What if she suddenly changes her mind and marries you first, taking your title as her wife?"

Chen Feng said solemnly, "If she took it, she took it. It's what she deserves. After all, she was the first woman to enter my heart after my divorce, and she's been with me step by step to develop and expand the company. As long as she acquiesces to my relationship with you guys, that's fine."

Guo Mengyao felt a surge of bitterness, yet she couldn't find the words to refute it.

Indeed, in terms of the help and contributions Wu Mengting made to Chen Feng, she was no match for him.

At least Wu Mengting had shared joys and sorrows with Chen Feng, while Liu Ying, Hong Xiaodan, Jin Xinyan, and Lin Yujiao all followed him after Chen Feng became successful and wealthy.

Although neither of them harbored any materialistic or snobbish intentions towards Chen Feng, they ultimately lost the initiative. (End of Chapter)
