After the divorce, I started to transfer

It was a new day, and the weather was sunny outside. After getting up, Chen Feng went out for a run as usual.

He knew he would meet Xiao Panpan and was already mentally prepared.

I can't just deliberately avoid going out for a run and change my fitness habits just to avoid her, can I?

Sure enough, he had only been out of his house for a short while when he saw Xiao Panpan, who jogged up to him, clearly having been waiting for him.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. What can I do to make you forgive me?"

Xiao Panpan looked somewhat distressed, and her originally bright eyes were now bloodshot.

She looked somewhat pitiful, but Chen Feng showed little pity. He shook his head sternly and said, "We agreed at the beginning that whoever felt the other wasn't right could leave at any time. I feel it's not right for us to continue this relationship, so let's part amicably. Sometimes I'm just like that—cold-blooded and ruthless. Don't waste your time and emotions on me; it's not worth it, understand?"

After saying this, Chen Feng turned and ran off in another direction without looking back.

Xiao Panpan certainly didn't want to give up so easily, so she immediately ran after her.

When Chen Feng saw her chasing after him, he looked impatient and stopped in a secluded corner, turning back to look at her.

Slightly out of breath, Xiao Panpan ran up to him, her eyes red and her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Are you really this heartless? I only made one mistake, and I just wanted to get to know your parents. I have absolutely no ill will towards you or your parents..."

"Alright," Chen Feng interrupted her coldly. "If I were to use my phone to locate you and track your every move, do you think you wouldn't be angry? This is a matter of bottom line and principle. Besides, I hit the nail on the head, and you still denied it, hoping to get away with it. You violated my privacy, crossed my bottom line, and even lied to me. Tell me, what reason do I have to continue seeing you?"

Xiao Panpan burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, and cried, "I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, okay? I swear I really won't do it again."

Chen Feng, however, showed no sign of softening his stance, continuing coldly, "We're over. Even if I gave you another chance, things could never go back to the way they were, understand? Often, everyone only gets one chance; once it's gone, it's gone, and forcing it won't change anything. Don't keep bothering me; let's give each other some dignity. Besides, I've already said it before: I'm not a good match for you. I'm a womanizer, I have many women, and you're just one of them. I can't give you the marriage you want. Don't waste your precious youth on me anymore. Let's leave it at that, and wish each other well."

After saying this, Chen Feng turned and ran away again without looking back.

Xiao Panpan watched him run away through teary eyes, but this time she didn't chase after him. She knew it was useless to chase after him; she had really offended Chen Feng this time, and it was impossible for him to forgive her with just a few words and some tears.

However, this incident proved that Chen Feng is indeed a rather ruthless man; he can turn his back on someone and break up with them just like that.

Of course, she harbored resentment towards Chen Feng and wanted to break up with him decisively, but this thought vanished within a second.

Because she is now truly infatuated with Chen Feng.

Initially, she pursued Chen Feng not only because he was genuinely attractive to her, but also primarily because of his youth, wealth, and powerful background. She saw him as a charismatic man with immense energy and influence. She felt that if she got together with him, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

In short, her initial pursuit of Chen Feng was largely driven by self-interest.

But after she really got together with Chen Feng, she was completely lost, not just in physical attraction, but also in a deep-seated infatuation.

To put it simply, she fell in love with Chen Feng. She was even willing to have his child.

As a result, her relationship seems to have come to an end because of her whim to locate him and "accidentally" meet his parents.

Could Xiao Panpan be willing to break up with Chen Feng like this? Obviously not.

But for a moment she couldn't think of a good way to get Chen Feng to forgive her and accept her again.

This is obviously quite difficult.

Xiao Panpan felt empty inside, as if her whole being had been hollowed out.

After some time, two elderly people who were exercising early in the morning passed by and saw her. Seeing her with tears streaming down her face and looking completely distraught, they quickly came over to ask her what was wrong.

Xiao Panpan finally snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, and explained that she had been thinking about something sad. Then, she could only hurriedly leave and go home.

She hadn't slept all night. When she returned to her home in Zijinyuan, the nanny wasn't there either. She was all alone in the empty villa, which made her feel even more lonely and upset. She immediately lay down on the sofa and started sobbing.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but it was quite a while, because she couldn't shed any more tears.

Just then, her phone rang. She quickly opened her red and swollen eyes, picked up the phone, and saw that it wasn't Chen Feng calling, but her father, Xiao Jinhan.

She didn't want to answer and hung up immediately, but Xiao Jinhan called back soon after. Xiao Panpan answered angrily and yelled at her father in a hoarse voice, "What's so important that you have to call twice? Aren't you annoyed?"

Xiao Jinhan was stunned for two seconds by his daughter's outburst before he reacted. Then, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with her voice and immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your voice? It's hoarse. Were you crying just now?"

Xiao Panpan quickly covered it up, saying, "I have a cold and my voice is hoarse."

Xiao Jinhan asked in surprise, "Didn't you just recover from a cold?"

"Can't I catch a cold again once I'm better?" Xiao Panpan asked impatiently, then added impatiently, "Get to the point, or I'm hanging up."

Xiao Jinhan then frowned and said, "Your uncle's family is coming over for lunch, and your mother will be coming too, so you should come as well."

"Uncle, weren't they always in Australia? Why are they back?"

Xiao Panpan only has one uncle, her mother's younger brother, who immigrated to Australia more than ten years ago. Over the years, she has had virtually no contact with his family. Her impression of this uncle is also from more than ten years ago; he treated his niece fairly well, giving her large red envelopes every Chinese New Year, and when she started elementary school, he gave her many school supplies and a bicycle. This is what she remembers most vividly.

Shortly after she started elementary school, her uncle's family immigrated. She hadn't seen him since.

“He came back to China to visit his family. He’s missed his hometown and your mother, his older sister, after all these years. So, you should come and meet him. He was very good to you when you were little.”

Xiao Panpan couldn't refuse, so she could only agree in a sullen voice.

"Then you'd better come over now and help with the preparations."

"What's there to prepare? It's just a meal. You can just tell the kitchen what to do."

"You can't say that. It's been so many years. Your uncle rarely comes back to China, so we definitely have to treat him well. Your aunt and your cousin will need your help to entertain them, especially your cousin. Do you remember her? She was only three or four years old when she went abroad. I remember you liked her quite a bit back then."

Thinking of her cousin, Xiao Panpan smiled wryly, "She was only three or four years old at the time, she must have long forgotten about me, her older cousin. Besides, we haven't been in contact for so many years."

Xiao Jinhan laughed and said, "It's okay if you've forgotten. After all, you're cousins. Get to know each other again, and you'll definitely become best friends in no time."

Xiao Panpan pursed her lips, inwardly disagreeing, but she didn't refute it. She just said impatiently, "I know, let's go in an hour."

"Alright then, just come early. Your uncle can't arrive before you. Got it?"

"Okay, I know. You're so long-winded." With that, Xiao Panpan hung up the phone herself.

Xiao Jinhan held his phone, paused for a second, then shook his head helplessly and put the phone down.

……

After running three laps, Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Panpan was no longer bothering him.

After all, they live in the same community and are neighbors. They both have the habit of jogging in the morning, so they see each other all the time. If Xiao Panpan keeps bothering him, it will really be a bit troublesome.

After finishing his run, Chen Feng went home for breakfast. After his two daughters left for work, he was relieved to see that his mother hadn't called or texted him. He'd already spent most of the day with his parents yesterday; if he went to visit them again today, he'd get a scolding, which Chen Feng was naturally reluctant to do.

So Chen Feng quickly went out to see Guo Mengyao.

The day before yesterday afternoon, she sent him her blood test report and prenatal checkup report on WeChat, which basically confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.

Guo Mengyao wanted Chen Feng to come and keep her company, have a good talk, and share her joy.

But Chen Feng was too busy to go, so Guo Mengyao had no choice but to ask him to come the next day. Chen Feng then said he was also too busy and explained that his parents were coming.

This left Guo Mengyao with no choice but to ask Chen Feng to come see her on the third day, which is today. Of course, Chen Feng couldn't refuse again.

Because he had the access code for Guo Mengyao's residential complex, Chen Feng was able to enter smoothly by himself. When he arrived at Guo Mengyao's home, which had a fingerprint lock, Chen Feng knew the password and simply entered it to open the door and go inside.

This wasn't a password Chen Feng asked for; Guo Mengyao told him it herself and asked him to remember it.

I had contacted Guo Mengyao before coming, so Guo Mengyao, who was sitting on the sofa, wasn't surprised to see Chen Feng come in. She just stood up and said indifferently, "You finally came. I'm pregnant with your child, why don't you seem excited at all?"

Chen Feng thought to himself, "It's not like there are just one or two kids anymore, what am I excited about?"
So Chen Feng told the truth: "I wouldn't say I'm excited, after all, I already have two children, and you have a daughter. But I'm still quite happy, since I have another child now."

Guo Mengyao was caught off guard, unsure whether to laugh or scold him. She could only change the subject and ask, "Have your parents gone back?"

Chen Feng casually replied, "Not yet, I might leave this afternoon."

Guo Mengyao said, "Why don't you take me to meet them? It's been so long. I didn't know they were coming, but now that I know, it would be impolite not to go see them."

Chen Feng frowned and said, "Can't you just pretend you don't know?"

“Of course not,” Guo Mengyao said matter-of-factly. “Deceiving yourself is the most ridiculous thing. I know perfectly well, so why pretend I don’t?”

Chen Feng was speechless, but still said, "Alright, I don't object to you going to see them. They should be with Liu Ying. You can just go there."

"Aren't you coming with me?" Guo Mengyao asked, looking at him.

"Do you think I'd go looking for trouble with you? I already got a good scolding from my mom yesterday, and I don't want to go looking for trouble again today. If you want to go, go by yourself; I'll just give you the address. But you'd better contact Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan first."

Guo Mengyao frowned and said, "Couldn't you have invited your parents out for lunch together?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "I already told you, they came mainly to see their grandchildren. They're leaving this afternoon, so why would they waste their time going out to have dinner with you?"

Guo Mengyao thought about it and realized that if she invited his parents, she would lose face if they refused, and if they agreed, they might complain that she was being inconsiderate.

"Alright, then I'll go to Liu Ying's place myself. But you'd better tell your parents that I'm going to visit them, otherwise it would seem impolite for me to go there so suddenly."

"You know them all, so what's with all this talk of etiquette?"

"It is precisely because we know each other, but are not very close, that we need to be even more polite."

"whatever."

Chen Feng then sat down next to her and asked, "When is your next prenatal checkup?"

"The doctor suggested I go for another check-up in a week or two to confirm the intrauterine pregnancy and the embryo's development. I'm thinking of going next week. Are you free to come with me then?"

"We'll see. Let me know when the time comes, and I'll go with you if I'm free."

Chen Feng didn't mean he didn't want to go; that was the truth.

Guo Mengyao was fairly satisfied with his answer, so she said, "Okay, now contact your parents and tell them I'm coming to visit. I'll also contact Liu Ying and hope she doesn't mind."

"Ok."

Chen Feng agreed and immediately called his mother.

"Mom, Mengyao knows you're here and wants to come see you. Is that alright?"

After Chen Feng spoke so directly, Zhao Xiaolan realized after a while that if she hadn't known Guo Mengyao was pregnant, she might not have agreed to meet Guo Mengyao here.

But now that Guo Mengyao is also pregnant with her grandson (or granddaughter), Zhao Xiaolan couldn't refuse. She could only say, "It's okay, but where should we meet her? Should your father and I go to her place?"

"No need, she'll go directly to Liu Ying's place to see you."

"Oh no, this won't do! You and Liu Ying, and you and Mengyao..."

Chen Feng understood what his mother meant and said directly, "They all know each other and have a pretty good relationship."

"Ah!" Zhao Xiaolan was genuinely surprised this time. "You mean they all know each other? Then they..."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "They all know about their relationship with me, so you don't need to worry."

Elaine Chao was completely speechless, unsure whether to be proud of her son or ashamed of him.

"Mom, since you have no objections, I'll have Mengyao come to see you."

“…Alright, have her come over.” Zhao Xiaolan said with a hint of helplessness.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng looked towards Guo Mengyao, who was typing a WeChat message with both hands. (End of Chapter)
