After the divorce, I started to transfer

After getting into her car, Wu Mengting didn't start it immediately. Instead, she took out her phone and called Chen Feng.

The reason is simple: she was angry, and she also wanted to know as soon as possible whether Chen Feng had really invested in Zhao Zixuan, how much money he had invested, and what specific projects he had invested in.

As Chen Feng's live-in girlfriend, shouldn't she have the right to know this?

Unfortunately, Chen Feng didn't answer the phone until it automatically disconnected.

She dialed again, and the phone rang for half a minute, but Chen Feng still didn't answer.

Wu Mengting could only put down her phone in frustration and start the car to head home.

Chen Feng was taking a shower in the bathroom at the moment, and his phone was outside, so of course he didn't answer her call.

A dozen minutes later, after he finished showering and came out, he saw it. Just as he was about to call back, he heard a knock on the door, and then the door opened and Wu Mengting walked in.

Did you call me just now? What's up?

Chen Feng put down his phone and looked at her with some confusion.

He also noticed that Wu Mengting's expression was a little off, and she seemed to be sulking.

Furthermore, the fact that she rarely took the initiative to come to his room meant that something was definitely going on, and it probably wasn't anything good for him.

Although Wu Mengting's face was still a little pale, her emotions had calmed down.

After all, she wasn't stupid, and after spending so much time together, she knew Chen Feng's temper. If she came up with a confrontational attitude right away, it would only further escalate the conflict between them and damage their relationship.

This actually benefits those female bitches.

So, at this moment, Wu Mengting didn't adopt a confrontational attitude. Instead, she spoke in a gentle and conversational tone: "I just ran into your female classmate at the mall. She recognized me immediately, knew I was your girlfriend, and even came over to greet me and chat."

Chen Feng knew immediately that she was talking about Zhao Zixuan. Although Guo Mengyao was also his classmate, she had known Wu Mengting for a long time.

"Are you talking about Zhao Zixuan?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

"Yes, it's her." Wu Mengting said calmly. "She looks even prettier in person than in the photos, no wonder you were interested in her. She said she's moved to Xiuzhou and wants to start a business. You even invested in her. What kind of project is it?"

Chen Feng was surprised that Zhao Zixuan had told him this as well, and frowned slightly. He said, "She used to work in a financial company. This startup isn't led by her, but by two of her colleagues, both senior financial professionals. They plan to raise 1 million yuan to create a venture capital company and already have a very good investment project. I've read their business plan and think it's pretty good, so I plan to invest 4000 million yuan in it."

"4000 million? That's not a lot."

Wu Mengting wasn't being sarcastic; 4000 million was indeed a small sum for Chen Feng now, considering he had already donated 6 million. This somewhat relieved Wu Mengting and improved her mood a little.

"It's fine as long as you have no objections," Chen Feng said with a smile.

Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I have a problem with it, are you just going to stop investing in her?"

Chen Feng said somewhat awkwardly, "I've already promised them. I'll sign the contract and make the payment tomorrow. Besides, you know I'm not short of money. Most importantly, I have high hopes for this venture capital firm. I don't know how much money it will make in the future, but it shouldn't lose money."

"I knew it was no use for me to object."

After saying that, Wu Mengting added, "My first impression of your female classmate was quite good. At least after she recognized me, she came over to greet me in a very open and generous manner, without any hint of embarrassment. This shows that she is not only thick-skinned but also very courageous."

Chen Feng was both amused and exasperated, unsure how to defend Zhao Zixuan.

Wu Mengting continued, "She's not young anymore. Do you think she'll be content to stay as your mistress without a formal relationship? Or is she actually hoping to become your wife someday?"

Chen Feng could only smile bitterly and say, "I've said it before, I could never marry another woman in my life except you. In fact, if I didn't feel indebted to you, I would never want to get married again in my life."

Wu Mengting was stunned. She could tell that this was Chen Feng's true feeling.

After a long pause, Wu Mengting finally asked, "Why don't you want to get married? Is it because of your previous failed marriage? Or do you enjoy your current free and unrestrained life and don't want to be tied down by marriage?"

Chen Feng spoke frankly: "Both of the points you mentioned are true, but the main thing is that I've come to terms with it. Not getting married is the best choice for both of us. You know I already have two children. If I were to marry someone other than their mother, they would become illegitimate children. Although illegitimate children now have inheritance rights, the ethical and social standing is different. So, if I don't get married, they won't be considered illegitimate children. Besides, I'm already used to and enjoying this rich emotional life. Asking me to get married and sever all ties with them is unrealistic and cruel. It's unfair to myself and them. Of course, it's also unfair to you." "Ping, because I can't truly sever ties with them completely, even if you reserve two or three spots for me. Besides, giving me those spots isn't something you willingly accept; you harbor resentment and anger. Do you think we'd be happy if we got married? Not to mention the condition I previously set for you to tacitly accept their existence—it's normal that you didn't agree. Thinking about it later, I also felt it was inappropriate, because even if you reluctantly agreed, you would definitely be very unwilling, perhaps even harboring resentment towards me and them. In that case, our marriage would have even less chance of happiness, and might even turn into hatred, leading to some dramatic and messy situations. Therefore, deep down, I'm even less willing to get married now."

Chen Feng's sudden confession caught Wu Mengting off guard, leaving her unsure how to respond.

Seeing her somewhat bewildered expression, Chen Feng smiled apologetically, took two steps forward, hugged her, and said softly, "I know this sounds a bit harsh and selfish. But it wouldn't be fair to you if I didn't tell you, and I don't want to lie to you. If you're willing, I'll give you Fengmang Films directly as an apology gift. Of course, if you break up with me because of this, you can also consider it a breakup fee."

Wu Mengting was already feeling suffocated, and upon hearing Chen Feng's words, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She sobbed, "You've been lying to me all this time. You said you'd get engaged to me within a year, then within two years, and then you made me choose between you and me. You kept saying you'd only marry me, but now you say you don't want to get married. You're a bastard!"

What else could Chen Feng say? Because what she said was not far from the truth.

However, he had indeed considered marrying her before. After all, Wu Mengting was still willing to marry him even after learning that he had a terminal illness, which moved him, so he naturally wanted to marry her.

But then he hesitated. One reason was his sense of morality; he didn't want her to become a widow too early. The other reason, of course, was that he didn't want to break off his relationship with other women.

As a result, after his condition improved and he eventually recovered, he naturally became even less willing to marry her. The reason, as he just mentioned, was that he didn't want to betray other women and the growing number of children he could foresee, and he himself didn't want to be bound by marriage.

So what could he do? He could only feel somewhat sorry for Wu Mengting. For this, he was truly willing to give her the entire Fengmang Film & Television company as an apology, even though the company's current market value was over three billion.

But he can afford to give it away, and he's willing to.

After crying for a while, Wu Mengting slowly stopped crying, then broke free from his embrace, looked directly at Chen Feng, and her face was still streaked with tears.

“I don’t want the entire Fengmang Film & Television for now. But you’ve already promised me 10% of the shares and dividends, so give me 10% of the shares first. I won’t break up with you, so I don’t need the extra 2 million breakup fee you mentioned before.”

Chen Feng immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I will transfer 10% of the company's shares to you in the next day or the day after."

The entire company was willing to give her as an apology, so 10% of the shares were nothing to Chen Feng.

Seeing Chen Feng agree so readily, Wu Mengting felt somewhat relieved. This undoubtedly proved that she still held considerable importance in Chen Feng's heart. Giving away shares worth hundreds of millions so easily—even though Chen Feng was very wealthy, he had never been so generous to other women.

"Okay! I've thought it through too. I won't force you to get married. But you must promise one thing: you can never marry another woman in your life, no matter what form it takes, like getting married in Las Vegas. Can you do that?"

Chen Feng nodded immediately without hesitation and assured him, "Of course! Like I said, I really don't want to get married. I'm not even really willing to marry you, let alone anyone else. Don't worry."

Wu Mengting didn't seem to believe him much, and said coldly, "Swear it."

After a moment of surprise, Chen Feng asked, "How do you swear an oath?"

Wu Mengting, however, said in a serious tone: "Just say: I swear that I will only marry Wu Mengting in this life. If I break this vow, I will never be able to be a man again."

Chen Feng's lips twitched involuntarily. This oath was truly vicious. He asked, "Can we change it?"

Wu Mengting shook her head firmly: "No."

Chen Feng was speechless, but what could he do when he felt guilty and ashamed? He tried to comfort himself by thinking that if this meant he would no longer be pressured to marry her, or even his family, then it wouldn't be so bad.

So, despite his reluctance, Chen Feng complied and swore, "I swear..."

"Wait a minute." Wu Mengting stopped him. Chen Feng thought he didn't have to swear an oath, but before he could be happy, Wu Mengting said, "You need to raise your right hand, with your index, middle and ring fingers together, pointing to the sky."

As she spoke, Wu Mengting gave him a demonstration.

Chen Feng was of course familiar with the standard hand gesture for swearing an oath, but he didn't expect Wu Mengting to be so strict.

Alright! Since we've already decided to swear an oath, what's a little more gesture?

Chen Feng then solemnly made the vow as she requested.

But after making that vow, he seemed to sense its immense power. He felt that if he were to break it in the future, he might truly cease to be a man.

But now that the oath had been made, there was no use in regretting it. Besides, Chen Feng felt that he could not possibly break this oath.

Because he really doesn't want to get married anymore.

"Very good. Now that you've made such a vow, I truly believe that you really don't plan to get married in the future, and that it's not just that you don't want to marry me."

"How could I lie to you?" Chen Feng said, somewhat aggrieved. "I've told you more than once that if I were to get married, it would only be to you. I've said this to Mengyao and Liu Ying in person."

"Really?" Wu Mengting asked with some doubt.

Why would I lie to you? You can ask them yourself.

Okay. I believe you.

Wu Mengting's mood improved considerably. First, he really did swear as she asked; second, Chen Feng actually said such things to other women, so without a doubt, she was indeed the most special and important one among all the women.

She had considered breaking up with Chen Feng earlier, but the obsession with "breaking up with him would only benefit other women" made her immediately abandon the idea.

Since she couldn't break up with him and couldn't let other women benefit from him, she naturally wanted to get some tangible benefits from Chen Feng.

Since Chen Feng was willing to invest 4000 million yuan in his old classmate Zhao Zixuan, it was reasonable for her to take 10% of Fengmang Pictures' shares. After all, she believed that she was the primary contributor to Fengmang Pictures' current scale and success, and that Chen Feng, the hands-off boss, had made a greater contribution than she had.

Moreover, Chen Feng had originally planned to give her 10%, but she was too embarrassed to ask for shares directly before, only asking for dividends. Now she is simply fulfilling Chen Feng's promise to her, which is not excessive at all.

“Baby, I know you still have resentment in your heart. I also know I'm a jerk, but I really like you and love you very much. The vow I just made was also serious. If I were to marry a wife in this life, it would only be you.”

Chen Feng hugged her again, uttering rare sweet words.

Unfortunately, Wu Mengting didn't seem to accept it, coldly saying, "You've already been married once before."

Chen Feng then realized the ambiguity in his words and quickly corrected himself, "What I meant was, when I get married in the future. Anyway, if I get married in the future, my marriage partner can only be you, you can rest assured about that."

"Alright. I don't want to continue this topic." With that, Wu Mengting returned to the initial subject. "Zhao Zixuan, I do have a pretty good impression of her, but I really dislike the woman next to her, what's her name, Gong Huize? I could tell at a glance she's not a decent woman. Tell me the truth, you and she aren't anything special, are you?"

Chen Feng immediately shook his head: "How could I possibly be with her? You said it yourself, you could tell at a glance that she's not proper. Do you think I couldn't see that? I could never like a woman like that. My taste isn't that bad."

Wu Mengting raised an eyebrow and said, "She's not as pretty as Zhao Zixuan, but she's still a top-tier beauty. She's also very good at makeup and dressing up, plus she's quite alluring. Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"Alright. I've already said I have nothing to do with her and I don't even think much of her. Would I lie to you? I didn't lie to you about Zixuan, so why would I lie to you about Gong Huize?"

Wu Mengting then believed her and asked, "She said she started a business with Zhao Zixuan. Is she the one in charge of this venture capital project you mentioned?"

"Yes, she organized the whole thing, and she also brought in most of the startup funding. She has successful investment cases in the venture capital field, and she was considered a very good professional investment manager at her previous company. There's another one like that."

"This kind of woman is clearly a social butterfly; she's very successful in business. So, I'm quite optimistic about your investment this time."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Your evaluation is quite rare."

Wu Mengting said, "I always judge things objectively, not personally. Good is good, and bad is bad."

"Fine, you're awesome!"

"vulgar!"

“I have even more vulgar ones.”

As he spoke, Chen Feng cupped her face in his hands and kissed her.

……

In the early morning, the soft sunlight streamed in through the window, and the room was filled with a pleasant, subtle fragrance.

Chen Feng woke up naturally, but unusually, he didn't get out of bed immediately because Wu Mengting was sleeping soundly in his arms. If he got out of bed, she would definitely wake up right away.

Chen Feng turned his head to look at her face, which was mostly covered by her hair. He could only see her delicate nose and moist red lips, but she was still so beautiful.

Her skin has always been very good, with a slightly cool-toned white complexion but a healthy, rosy glow. Her entire face is almost flawless.

She doesn't usually take special care of her skin every day, but it's so good. This is obviously due to her genes, it's natural.

Chen Feng stared at her intently. Perhaps sensing his gaze, she suddenly woke up, brushed aside the hair covering her face, opened her beautiful phoenix eyes, looked at Chen Feng, and muttered softly, "You're awake?"

"Okay, you can go back to sleep. It's still early, I'm going to wash up and exercise first."

After saying that, Chen Feng leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

Wu Mengting turned her face away in disgust, and then turned her body to the side as well.

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, then said with a smile, "You continue sleeping, I'm going to wash up."

Wu Mengting didn't respond, and Chen Feng didn't care. Anyway, he was quite satisfied last night. She, who was usually a novice, actually had a breakthrough, and he still savored the memory.

After washing up and going downstairs for his morning run, Chen Feng was surprised to find that Xiao Panpan was nowhere to be seen, which puzzled him.

So, after finishing his run and returning home, Chen Feng immediately grabbed his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiao Panpan to inquire about her situation.

About a minute later, I received her reply, saying that she had caught a cold and hadn't gotten better for two days, and couldn't get up in the morning.

Chen Feng asked her if she had gone to the hospital.
Xiao Panpan said no, she took the cold medicine she had at home and it worked, at least the fever went down, but she still had a runny nose and cough.

Chen Feng told her to go to the hospital for a checkup, and to get an IV drip or nebulizer treatment if necessary.

Xiao Panpan said she was too weak to drive.

Chen Feng understood her thoughts perfectly well, so he suggested that she call a ride-hailing service, or ask a friend or her parents to take her to the hospital.

After a while, there was still no response from Xiao Panpan, so Chen Feng stopped paying attention to her and went to take a shower. (End of Chapter)
