Over the next few days, besides staying home with Sun Xiaorui, Chen Feng only visited Shen Lin, Yang Ziying, and Guo Mengyao. All three were pregnant, so Chen Feng didn't need to exert himself physically, which was in line with his previous health principles.

In fact, many times a man only needs one woman, especially when he is not able to perform. He can have one woman every other day or every two or three days, which is just fine.

Of course, Chen Feng's health is perfectly fine. He could easily handle three or four women a day if he wanted to work non-stop. But that would obviously be detrimental to his health regimen.

He didn't want to become completely obsessed with women; he had his own life plans and pursuits.

He sought a life of ease and comfort, not one of debauchery and excess.

To live a carefree and comfortable life, the prerequisite is, of course, a healthy body that allows one to live longer.

He prefers a long-lasting, peaceful life rather than a short-lived existence of revelry and decadence.

The future is long, and even though he now possesses special abilities and can absorb various forms of energy every day, he will absolutely not squander them recklessly or act with impunity.

After all, he had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had fallen into deep despair.

Sometimes, people still need to have something to fear.

These past few days, he has, as usual, been frequently harassed in various ways.

However, he's gotten used to it, and he basically doesn't reply to those messages anyway.

They don't really have anything important to say; they only call Chen Feng when it's urgent. If they call him for nothing important, he'll definitely get angry.

Chen Feng had discussed this matter with them beforehand, so unless it was urgent or important, these women generally understood and wouldn't call him. This minimized the risk of serious harassment.

It was Friday again. In the morning, Chen Feng made his usual video call with Zhao Xingrong. Zhao Xingrong told him that Gabriel, the leader of Abuye, seemed to have fled to another country. Apart from him, the other key leaders had all been killed because of the huge bounty on their heads.

Zhao Xingrong was uneasy because Gabriel had not yet been captured or killed by the bounty.

Chen Feng could understand him. "If you don't kill the snake, you'll suffer the consequences," especially now that the enemy was in the shadows while he was in the open. Who knew if this Abuye boss hiding in the dark would give him a nasty surprise later?
For this reason, Zhao Xingrong increased the reward to $150 million. However, this leader of Abuye was very cunning and had not been found.

This has left Zhao Xingrong in a bad mood for the past few days, and he's been feeling uneasy.

However, Chen Feng had "read his fortune," and in any case, Zhao Xingrong shouldn't have any safety concerns for the next three days. Besides, almost all of Abuye's other leaders were dead because of the bounty, and the Abuye organization was practically defunct.

In addition, the local government and police took the opportunity to intensify their crackdown on the gang, and their sworn enemy, "Red Scorpion," beat them while they were down. Abuye no longer had a foothold in Zamboanga.

In reality, Zhao Xingrong wanted to use Chen Feng's "special abilities" to find the whereabouts of this Abuye boss. However, Chen Feng had previously told Zhao Xingrong's uncle, Zhao Jinfu, that he could only conduct this "human radar"-like search and find people he knew and had met in person. Otherwise, it was impossible to find someone based on just a photo or a video.

This can be seen as a form of insurance for his special ability; otherwise, his ability would be too outrageous, too exaggerated, and too powerful, which would definitely attract the attention of various forces, even the state and government, and bring him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Chen Feng didn't want to go the extra mile by helping Zhao Xingrong find the whereabouts of this Abuye boss. He could imagine that if he did, he would find himself in endless trouble in the future.

Helping others is fine, but you can't risk your own life. Besides, Chen Feng has already saved his life twice; he doesn't owe him anything. The reason he still "reads his fortune" every day is mainly because he thinks Chen Feng is a decent person and worth befriending.

But if it were to get himself into trouble for him, and then Chen Feng wouldn't be so noble and selfless.

Ji Hongsheng was in the same boat, video chatting with Chen Feng every day. He still hadn't found a second artwork or jade piece that would satisfy Chen Feng. Even though Chen Feng urged him to come back, he wouldn't, stubbornly continuing his search between different cities.

However, after video chatting with him today, Ji Hongsheng probably lost hope in these western cities and decided to travel to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in the south. Relatively speaking, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, especially the counties and cities below them, are still quite economically underdeveloped and have inconvenient transportation. Perhaps there are still some old objects or old paintings and calligraphy works there.

Seeing that he insisted, Chen Feng didn't try to persuade him any further and could only let him continue to work outside. However, he still felt a little guilty, after all, the other person was working for him for free and even paying out of his own pocket.

Chen Feng was willing to give him some travel expenses or business trip allowance. But in reality, the old man wasn't short of money. After Chen Feng said something, he objected, saying that he was mainly on vacation and was only looking for things for Chen Feng as a side job, so he couldn't accept Chen Feng's money.

After finishing his video call with the two of them, Chen Feng, as usual, meditated in the training room to absorb special energy. He didn't come out of the training room until almost noon. Then he waited for Sun Xiaorui to get off work so they could have lunch together.

This was the last day of work this week, so Sun Xiaorui was visibly happier than the previous days when she returned, because she didn't have to work the next day. She had already made plans with Chen Feng to go shopping together.

The past week or so that the two of them had spent together, especially in Zijinyuan, was their own private world, which was undoubtedly the ideal life that Sun Xiaorui had always hoped for.

Chen Feng actually quite enjoyed his time alone with her. However, he also missed Wu Mengting a little, after all, they had been apart for almost ten days. When she was around, Chen Feng sometimes found her a bit annoying, especially when she wanted to control him. But now that they hadn't seen each other for almost 10 days, he found himself thinking about her without realizing it.

Ultimately, Chen Feng still liked her. It's just that they hadn't contacted each other for so long. Neither Chen Feng nor Wu Mengting had taken the initiative to contact him. This left Chen Feng somewhat disappointed and hurt.

In the past, even when Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to her, Wu Mengting would still contact him every few days. Chen Feng suspected it was related to his firm refusal to marry her last time.

After having lunch with Sun Xiaorui, and after Sun Xiaorui went upstairs for a nap, Chen Feng called Wu Mengting.

"How's filming going?" Chen Feng asked somewhat routinely at first. "Pretty good. The filming progress is much better than I expected."

"Did Zhang Jingwen and the other girl start a fight?"

"No. You warned them before, and I'm keeping an eye on them, so of course they wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

"That's good." After saying that, Chen Feng paused for a moment. He asked in a casual tone, "You've been over there for almost 10 days now, haven't you? Have you thought about coming back to rest for a few days?"

Wu Mengting said to him in a relaxed tone, "No need, I'm not tired here. I just need to keep an eye on things every day. The rest is that I need to discuss some specific lines or plots with the director. We still need to make changes if necessary. I want to finish filming this drama as soon as possible to save filming time and save some money for the company."

Chen Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "So you mean you're going to stay there and keep an eye on things until the filming of this drama is finished?"

Wu Mengting said matter-of-factly, "Of course. I originally thought it would take about three months to film, but at the current filming pace, it might only take two months. Saving a month of filming time can save our crew and the company a lot of money, so I think it's better to finish filming sooner. If I, as the executive producer, leave, the filming progress might not be so fast, so I have to stay here until filming is over."

Chen Feng was naturally a little unhappy to receive this affirmative answer, and said, "You don't have to work so hard, do you? Since the company's budget has already been approved, you don't need to save the company such a small amount of money. Anyway, I don't care about such a small amount of money. Besides, haste makes waste. What if the filming progresses too fast and affects the quality of the whole drama? Sometimes you have to take your time and do things carefully. There's no need to rush. Besides, if you rush, the crew won't be able to handle it."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The crew is also eager to finish filming as soon as possible. They're not paid by actual salary, but by the entire project. So they want to finish filming quickly so they can take on the next project sooner. The actors are even more eager to finish filming this series. With me as the screenwriter and producer overseeing the quality, there won't be any problems."

Chen Feng was speechless and said directly, "Didn't you miss me? You really didn't want to see me for two months?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting couldn't help but smile slightly, a hint of smugness in her heart. Actually, she had already figured out that Chen Feng must have missed her, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to call her. It's just that Chen Feng is a bit too proud; it's very difficult for him to take the initiative, but this time he did.

"Are you missing me? If you are, I'll consider going back to stay for a day or two when I have some free time."

Although Chen Feng was somewhat arrogant, he could also be quite shameless when necessary. Seeing that she had seen through his feelings and had asked him directly, Chen Feng naturally didn't bother to lie and said directly, "Yes, I miss you, so I wanted you to take some time to come back in the next couple of days."

Wu Mengting didn't stand on ceremony anymore and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go back the day after tomorrow, Sunday. If possible, I'll leave on Tuesday. If the crew is too busy, I'll leave on Monday. After all, this drama is quite important, as you should know. I have to personally oversee it."

Seeing that she was finally willing to come back, Chen Feng naturally agreed: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back on Sunday. Do you want me to pick you up?"

Wu Mengting chuckled and asked, "You mean you're coming to pick me up in Hengdian?"

Chen Feng was taken aback, then immediately denied it, saying, "Of course not, I meant I'd pick you up at the train station."

Wu Mengting laughed heartily, a rare occurrence for her: "You forgot I drove here, and I'll drive back on Sunday. Anyway, the two places aren't that far apart. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to turn on my phone and keep an eye on things."

After saying this, Wu Mengting hurriedly hung up the phone.

Chen Feng held his phone, shaking his head helplessly. At the same time, he secretly despised himself. When she was around every day, he sometimes found her annoying. But after only ten days apart, he already missed her terribly and had even called her first.

He had just hung up the phone when Guo Mengyao called. Because of her pregnancy, Chen Feng answered immediately and asked, "What's up?"

Guo Mengyao said, "This morning, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. Now it's even more uncomfortable, so I want to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Could you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately said, "Okay, I'll come pick you up right away and take you to the hospital."

After saying that, he grabbed his car keys and hurriedly went out to pick up Guo Mengyao. The two places weren't far apart, and a few minutes later, Chen Feng arrived at Guo Mengyao's location.

After picking her up, they went straight to the hospital she had visited before. Guo Mengyao was quite familiar with one of the associate chief gynecologists there; she had already established a relationship with this doctor back when she was trying to conceive, and had given him gifts and red envelopes. Before Chen Feng arrived, he had already contacted her by phone and made arrangements, so she was able to cut in line as soon as she arrived. After a quick check-up, the results were expedited: the fetus was fine, just a slight case of gastroenteritis.

Upon receiving the diagnosis, both of them breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Considering that Guo Mengyao is currently pregnant, the doctor only prescribed probiotics for her.

The two left the hospital and got into the car. Guo Mengyao patted her chest with a sigh of relief and said, "I was so worried before, afraid that something might happen to the baby. Thank God."

After saying this, Guo Mengyao said to Chen Feng, "I remember your mother told me before that there's a very famous and efficacious Guanyin temple in your area. She said that it was because she went to the Guanyin temple to draw a fortune stick and make a wish that you were able to get into Donghai University of Science and Technology, and later you married a good wife. After your divorce, she went to the Guanyin temple again to pray that you would get back on your feet and start a new family, and that wish came true. Do you think I should talk to your mother about this? Or you could tell her to go to that Guanyin temple and get me a peace charm. Help me make a wish so that our child can be born safely."

Upon hearing her request, Chen Feng frowned and objected, saying, "My mother's belief is feudal superstition. You actually believe it? All that talk about how efficacious that Guanyin temple is, in my opinion, is just the temple deliberately promoting it, or it's a matter of survivorship bias. Of those who make wishes, the number that don't get their wishes is definitely more than the number that do. But everyone only knows about or promotes those who succeeded, ignoring those who didn't. So don't believe in this stuff."

Guo Mengyao said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Whether it works or not, we should at least try. Getting a peace charm will put my mind at ease. Something is better than nothing. If you don't tell your mother, I'll tell her myself. Anyway, my mother will definitely know when my belly gets big, and if my mother knows, your mother will definitely know too. They do contact each other occasionally."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng felt somewhat annoyed. If his mother found out that he had gotten Guo Mengyao pregnant, he would definitely be scolded again. Besides, Guo Mengyao's parents were no pushovers either; they had already pressured him to get married before, and had even come to his house to confront his parents directly.

"Whatever you want, you can tell my mom directly, they already know about us anyway. Things can go wrong when two people are together, having a child is normal. Just remember, we're not getting married. If your parents pressure me or my family to marry you again, I won't agree. Don't forget our agreement."

Guo Mengyao snorted, but didn't refute anything. (End of Chapter)
