After the divorce, I started to transfer

After Chen Feng left, Zhang Jingwen finally composed herself, sat down on the sofa, and picked up her phone to call Dai Sixian.

The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered, but there was silence on the other end.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jingwen apologized first: "Sister, I'm sorry. I know you mean well, but I really don't want to break up with him."

Dai Sixian on the other end remained silent.

Zhang Jingwen could only sigh softly and continue, "Sister, where are you now? I'll come find you."

At this moment, Dai Sixian finally spoke: "You're willing to leave your lover to come find me?"

Seeing that she had finally replied, Zhang Jingwen smiled and said, "Of course, I've already chased him away."

"Really? You dare to kick him out?" Dai Sixian certainly didn't believe it.

Zhang Jingwen then explained with a smile, "He asked me to call and apologize to you, and also asked me to spend more time with you. He said you've just broken up with your boyfriend and are feeling down. He doesn't want him to affect our friendship. So, please don't be prejudiced against him."

Dai Sixian asked in surprise, "Are you serious? He really advised you to call me and even asked you to come with me?"

Zhang Jingwen said, "Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you."

After a moment of silence, Dai Sixian asked, "Is he still with you?"

“He’s gone. As I said, he asked me to call you to apologize, make up with you, and keep you company. So, he left first so you can come back to my place.”

"The way you put it makes me seem petty, and he seems very generous," Dai Sixian said with a touch of emotion.

Zhang Jingwen laughed and said, "He's a man, so it's normal for him to be more magnanimous."

Dai Sixian also laughed and said, "Are we women born to be stingy?"

Zhang Jingwen said, "This is a privilege we women have."

Dai Sixian retorted, "I don't want such privileges, and I'm not a petty person. I'll find a chance to apologize to him. Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, I realize that what I said to him before was actually a bit excessive. Some of the things I said didn't go through my mind and seemed rather rude and vulgar."

Seeing that she had reflected on her actions, Zhang Jingwen was naturally pleased and quickly said, "Chen Feng is very magnanimous. Even if you don't apologize to him, he won't hold a grudge against you. Of course, if you can really apologize to him even a little, he will be even less likely to hold it against you."

"Yes, I will apologize to him. Actually, I know he's not a bad person, but every time I see you being so cautious and subservient in front of him, even smiling obsequiously at his face, I feel so sorry for you. You come from a wealthy family and are the apple of their eye. You've never had to rely on anyone else since you were little. Yet you act so humble and subservient in front of him, and you seem to enjoy it. It makes me so angry, and I can't help but have to say something to him."

Zhang Jingwen was a little touched, but could only smile bitterly and say, "Sister, you really can't blame him. You can only blame yourself for being so weak. I told you, at first I only had a slight liking for him, and then I got together with him with the mindset of making a deal. At that time, I really wanted to be famous, I really wanted to be a big star. Plus, I didn't dislike him at all, so I made a deal with him in a moment of impulse."

As it turns out, my decision to do business with him was the right one. I'm now truly famous and have successfully joined the ranks of top-tier celebrities. From that perspective, Chen Feng has kept his word. Moreover, in my interactions with him, I don't feel I suffered any losses; on the contrary, I was the one who benefited. So, don't feel sorry for me. My continued relationship with him is entirely of my own free will.”

Dai Sixian sighed and said, "Now that you're famous and a top star, is it still necessary for you to maintain this kind of relationship with him? You should know that besides you, he has several other women, and he lives with two of them at home. Judging from his appearance, it's almost impossible for him to marry you in the future. You can't possibly waste the most precious years of your life on him, can you?"

Zhang Jingwen stated frankly, "Anyway, I'm truly in love with him now. He fulfills almost all my desires for the opposite sex. I'm not interested in any other men at all now. So, why should I break up with him?"

"Haven't you thought about getting married and having children in the future?" Dai Sixian asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Jingwen said nonchalantly, "Female celebrities like us might only consider marriage after we turn thirty. There are quite a few who never marry, or who get divorced and remain single."

Dai Sixian retorted, "You're different from those female celebrities. Your family background is much better than theirs. If you work hard for another year or two, realize your dream of becoming a star, and then retire from the entertainment industry, you can definitely find a man of equal social standing to marry and have children."

“Impossible,” Zhang Jingwen denied immediately. “I said I should fall in love with Chen Feng, and he fulfills all my fantasies about the opposite sex. It’s impossible to find someone who can compare to him, let alone someone better. It’s like the poem says, ‘Once you’ve seen the ocean, other waters are nothing; once you’ve seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing.’ If you’re used to fine dining, it’s hard to accept eating simple meals again.”

Dai Sixian disagreed, saying, "You keep saying he's outstanding, but I really can't understand it. Besides having some money, being handsome, and having a mysterious background, what else is outstanding about him?"

Zhang Jingwen said, "It's mainly the feeling of being with him, and the kind of temperament and charm that he exudes. I don't believe you didn't notice it at all."

Dai Sixian retorted, "His temperament is alright, but not outstanding. Other excellent men also have that. As for how it feels to be with him, it was fine when we weren't familiar with each other. But after we got to know each other, I just wanted to say something to him every time I saw him, and I couldn't stand the sight of him."

Zhang Jingwen smiled wryly and said, "It seems that you and he are either incompatible according to your birth charts or your personalities don't match."

Dai Sixian laughed and said, "It's not that our birth charts are incompatible, that's too exaggerated. It's more likely that our auras clash. So, I guess we should see each other less often in the future?"

Zhang Jingwen nodded and said, "Yes, I also agree that you should see him less in the future. Otherwise, you two will argue every time you meet, putting me in a difficult position."

“You’re exaggerating a bit. We don’t argue every time we meet. Like last time, I didn’t argue with him, we just exchanged a few words. It’s just this time, I admit I was in a bad mood, and I couldn’t stand how submissive you were in front of him, so I couldn’t help but argue with him. Don’t worry, even if I meet him again, I won’t do it like today.”

"That's good. I was really worried that you two would argue every time you met. Actually, it's really unnecessary. If you're arguing because of me, it's even more unnecessary. I understand that you feel sorry for me, but as the saying goes, 'You are not a fish, how can you know the fish's joy?' Anyway, I'm quite happy with him now."

"I really don't understand. Did he cast some kind of spell on you? He's a womanizer when it comes to relationships. You can play around with him, but there's really no need to get emotionally involved. Otherwise, you'll regret it later."

"Thank you for your advice."

"Are you willing to break free from this emotional quagmire?"

"It's not that easy. I know that staying with him like this isn't a long-term solution, but I just don't want to break up with him. And every time I'm with him, I feel so happy and joyful. What can I do?"

Dai Sixian sighed, "I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore."

"So, have you forgiven me? Can you come back to me? Chen Feng is gone, and I'm all alone now. You can sleep with me tonight."

"Forget it," Dai Sixian refused directly. "I'm almost at my own home now. Besides, I'm afraid if I go to your place, you'll be so stubborn, and I'll just pin you down on the bed and beat you up."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingwen immediately said, "Then you'd better not come."

Zhang Jingwen knew that Dai Sixian was not joking. Sometimes Dai Sixian would really hit people. The two had known each other since childhood, and she had personally witnessed Dai Sixian hitting people before.

"You really are... never mind, you don't need to apologize to me. It's my own problem, I was just being nosy. Like you said, you're enjoying it and feel happy. Why did I have to break you two up? I really was just being a busybody."

"You're not a dog, and I'm certainly not a mouse."

"Go to hell, you're the dog."

"Okay, okay, I'm a dog, alright?"

"Fine, since you've gone this far, how could I not make up with you? Actually, I just threw a tantrum, and I'll be fine after that. You know I'm a very broad-minded person, especially towards people I care about; I'm always very generous." Zhang Jingwen secretly curled her lip. She had known Dai Sixian since childhood and had never seen her as broad-minded or generous. On the contrary, she saw that Dai Sixian was petty and sometimes had a bad temper, suddenly getting angry, just like she had today.

"Okay, then we'll make up. But if you don't want to see me today, then we might not see each other again for another two months."

"Don't worry, if I want to see you, I'll go directly to your film set in Shanghai. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now."

"That would be perfect. If you miss me in a few days, come find me on the set in Shanghai."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll come find you once you've settled in on set."

"It's a word."

"It's a word."

……

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jingwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least it seemed that the sisterhood had been restored and there were no major problems.

However, she immediately thought of Chen Feng, who had left not long ago, and she wanted to call him back. But obviously, doing so would be inappropriate.

Firstly, Chen Feng might have felt that she was indifferent to men and didn't care much about Dai Sixian, who stood up for her. This lowered his opinion of her.

Secondly, Chen Feng must have already made other arrangements by now. Even if he is just on his way home, there is no need to make him go through all that trouble by calling him back.

Most importantly, Chen Feng has promised her that he will try his best to come over to her place tomorrow night.

So, after hesitating for a while, Zhang Jingwen refrained from calling Chen Feng.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng was on his way to Zhang Yuxi's house, the large apartment she had previously bought for her cousin's family.

Since it's May now, her cousin is still studying in their hometown. If he wants to transfer to a school in Xiuzhou, it won't be until the second half of the year. So, her cousin's family hasn't moved here yet.

She's now signed with an entertainment company in Shenzhen, and will definitely be spending most of her time there. Therefore, this house in Xiuzhou will definitely be for her cousin's family, and it's very likely to be permanent.

Zhang Yuxi was quite willing to do so, and Chen Feng didn't even bother to say anything to her.

The reason Chen Feng was so generous in letting Zhang Jingwen take the initiative to contact Dai Sixian was not only because Chen Feng really didn't want to ruin their sisterly relationship, but also because he had to rush to meet Zhang Yuxi.

He had visited Zhang Yuxi's place once before, so this time he easily arrived at her doorstep.

Because they had contacted each other in advance, the door was ajar when Chen Feng arrived, and he easily pushed it open and went inside.

Then, he saw Zhang Yuxi busy in the kitchen, cooking with the range hood on.

After Chen Feng turned around and closed the door, he changed into slippers and headed towards the kitchen.

When they reached the kitchen door, Zhang Yuxi, who was cooking, noticed them. She immediately put down the spatula, excitedly ran towards Chen Feng, and hugged him tightly.

"You've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!"

After saying that, she kissed him twice on the cheek. She rarely took the initiative like that before.

"Okay, go turn off the gas now."

Chen Feng spoke up to remind him.

Zhang Yuxi exclaimed in surprise, let go of him, and quickly turned around to turn off the gas.

Chen Feng went over to take a look and saw that there was scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the pot.

"What are you cooking right now?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

It's only 2 p.m., still a long way from dinner time.

Zhang Yuxi said somewhat shyly, "I'm practicing. If you stay for dinner tonight, I can cook you the best dishes."

Chen Feng asked, somewhat speechless, "How many times have you practiced this dish?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yuxi said, "I've practiced three times already, this is the third time, it'll be almost done. You can taste it for me later."

What else could Chen Feng say but nod silently?

Zhang Yuxi happily relit the gas and started stir-frying, and it actually looked quite appetizing.

But it's obvious that her cooking skills aren't very good, otherwise she wouldn't have practiced this simple tomato and egg stir-fry so many times.

Two or three minutes later, she finally finished cooking, put it on a plate, and then took it to the dining table next to the kitchen, where she handed it to Chen Feng with chopsticks.

"Try it. I've practiced this dish many times, and I feel like I'm improving every time."

Under her expectant gaze, Chen Feng picked up his chopsticks, first taking a piece of egg, which tasted alright. Then, he took a piece of tomato, which was sweet and sour, and not bad either.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Not bad, much better than I expected. It seems you're really serious about practicing your cooking skills."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxi nodded happily: "Of course, I actually started learning cooking from my mom when I was in junior high school. But unfortunately, my mom's cooking skills are actually quite average. In addition, I became busy with my studies later on, so I rarely cooked anymore."

"You're so busy right now, why are you thinking of learning to cook? It's not because of me, is it?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled and nodded: "Of course it's because of you. I know we won't have many opportunities to meet in the future, but I want to cook some of your favorite dishes for you whenever we meet, so that it feels like we're living together."

Chen Feng was speechless at her idea, but he knew he couldn't dampen her enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, "Alright, whatever makes you happy. However, if you come back to Xiuzhou in the future, your cousin's family will be there, and this house won't be suitable for us to meet."

Zhang Yuxi said, "I've already rented an apartment in a neighborhood not far from Zijinyuan. It's a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, not very big, but very cozy. I've arranged for someone to clean and ventilate it regularly. If I come to Xiuzhou next time, I'll stay there, and you can come see me there then."

Chen Feng thought to himself, "You've really thought of everything." (End of Chapter)
