After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1835 Are you up to it?
The New York night still carried a touch of foreignness. However, neither Chen Feng nor Tang Xinyi had the heart to appreciate the dazzling lights and beautiful night view outside the window. After the commotion in the room subsided, only the sound of soft, panting breathing remained.
After a while, Tang Xinyi spoke first: "I want a child, is that okay? I'm getting older now, and I've never thought about marrying you, but can you give me a child?"
Tang Xinyi had long wanted to have a child with Chen Feng, but unfortunately, he rejected her. She had tried some subtle methods before, but to no avail. She hadn't wanted to tell him, fearing another rejection. But after this passionate encounter, she couldn't help but ask. After all, sneaking around is never as good as being open about it, and besides, if things were exposed, it might offend Chen Feng.
Furthermore, since she had tried to conceive several times without success, he suspected that Chen Feng might not have been very cooperative.
After asking the question, Tang Xinyi felt a great sense of relief, but immediately became nervous again. She was afraid that Chen Feng would still disagree. After all, when she had this idea last year, Chen Feng had firmly refused, and she was afraid of being rejected again.
But keeping it all bottled up inside wasn't a good idea. Besides, the truth would eventually come out, and she couldn't keep it from Chen Feng forever. Moreover, she felt she wouldn't be able to have a child without Chen Feng's cooperation, since she had already tried before but nothing had happened.
Upon hearing her request, Chen Feng was only briefly taken aback before regaining his composure. After a short silence, he asked, "Are you really sure about all this? You need to understand that I can't marry you. If this child is born, we won't be able to give him a complete family, and you need to be prepared to be a single mother."
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Tang Xinyi immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face: "Of course, I've already thought it through. I thought about it last year. But you didn't agree then, did you? Now I'm getting older, and I haven't thought about marrying you. I just want a child to accompany me in the future. Of course, I will definitely raise him well and make him an adult. You don't have to worry about anything; I will take very good care of him."
Chen Feng thought to himself, "If it really comes out, can I just ignore it? Of course I'll still have to take care of it." Of course, he still held the same belief: the more debts, the less worries. Anyway, he already had several; whether he herded one sheep or a flock, it was all the same. Besides, he wasn't short of money.
Raising several children wouldn't be a huge burden for him. As long as the money is there, not only would the children's mothers and their families be able to support them, but hiring several nannies would be no problem at all.
The reason why people still want to have children these days ultimately boils down to money. If they have enough money, especially men, they will definitely still want to have children and have several children.
Chen Feng hadn't initially considered having children, especially before marriage, but somewhat unexpectedly, they ended up having two. Plus, he was already in his early thirties, which was considered the age for fatherhood, and also late in having children. With the current policy opening up, the kids seemed to be popping up one after another.
"Okay, if you've really thought it through, then of course I won't object. But I have to tell you, if you really have a child with me, in principle, I don't want you to marry someone else before the child reaches adulthood. I don't want my child to call another man 'Dad'."
Tang Xinyi's lips twitched slightly as she teased, "Aren't you being a bit too domineering? You won't marry me, but you won't let me get married either?"
Chen Feng said somewhat seriously, "I just want you to think this through. If you're really willing to have a child with me, then that child will definitely call me 'Dad,' not another man 'Dad.' Just like your own child, would you want him to call another woman 'Mom'?"
Tang Xinyi instinctively replied, "Of course not. My child can only call me Mom. I can't let him call any other woman Mom."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "That's it. So it's fair. If you really want to have a child with me, then my child can't call another man 'Dad.' So you'd better not marry another man, at least not until he turns 18."
Tang Xinyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "I've already made up my mind. Anyway, I haven't wanted to get married for a long time. Besides not meeting someone I'm satisfied with, I'm also very disappointed in you men, including you. Although you are someone I'm satisfied with, you're too flirtatious. If I marry you and you're still flirting with other women, I definitely can't stand it. So it's better not to get married. How could I possibly be interested in any other man besides you?"
This was a very true statement, though it also had a hint of flattery, but Chen Feng still felt quite pleased to hear it.
"That's fine then. You don't need to use contraception anymore. If you get pregnant this time, that would be great. If not, we'll try again after you return to China."
Tang Xinyi happily turned to the side, hugged his neck, and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, darling, I think I might be pregnant this time."
Chen Feng said, "If you are really pregnant, then you don't need to work on the free children's nutritious lunch program anymore. I will find someone else to take over your work."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyi immediately objected, "That's unnecessary. If you really get pregnant, you only need to be careful during the first two or three months. Besides, I'm just promoting it; I'm not actually going through all that trouble. And with transportation so convenient these days, it's not really that strenuous."
Besides being genuinely enthusiastic about public welfare and charity, Tang Xinyi also undoubtedly wanted to use this "Free Children's Nutrition Lunch Program" to increase her public profile. A reputation for doing charity is certainly very positive, and no one dislikes it, especially public figures like them.
Chen Feng had a rough idea of what she was thinking, but he didn't agree immediately. He simply said, "Let's wait until you're pregnant before we discuss it in detail."
Tang Xinyi wasn't entirely sure she'd get pregnant this time, as she'd failed several times before. After a hospital checkup, she found nothing wrong with her body. As for Chen Feng, he was fine too, having already had two children. So she figured it was just a matter of luck. She hoped her luck would be better this time, and of course, the sooner the better, considering her age.
The two didn't say much after that, since it was almost midnight, and soon they fell asleep in each other's arms.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Feng woke up on time. Tang Xinyi was still sleeping next to him. She was a good sleeper, curled up slightly, not fighting for the blanket, not pressing her legs down, and not snoring at all.
Chen Feng got out of bed to wash up. When he came out of the bathroom, Tang Xinyi was also awake. She smiled at him and said, "Good morning."
Chen Feng said, "If you still want to sleep, then sleep a little longer."
Tang Xinyi said, "I was a little awake when you got out of bed. Now that you're not here, how can I fall asleep?"
Chen Feng said, "Then there's nothing wrong with you getting up now. I'm used to getting up early."
Tang Xinyi smiled at him provocatively and said, "How about we do it again to increase the chances of getting pregnant? But are you up to it?" This kind of reverse psychology, though old-fashioned, is still very effective, especially with men. No man will say he can't, even when he truly can't. Besides, Chen Feng had absolutely no problem; he couldn't be more capable.
So Chen Feng walked over, raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm afraid you can't do it. Don't forget how you looked like you were about to cry last night."
Tang Xinyi's face immediately turned bright red, and she retorted, "That was you deliberately teasing me. If you were serious, why would I do that?"
Chen Feng laughed and said, "That was normal operation, there was no intention. It's your own fault for not being able to do it, so you can't blame me." With that, Chen Feng pounced on the bed.
At nine o'clock, the two of them came out of their room to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant.
"It's all your fault. It should have been better a long time ago, but it's been dragging on until now. Sister Qianru is definitely going to laugh at me later."
Tang Xinyi complained to Chen Feng the whole way. Actually, Zhou Qianru had already sent Tang Xinyi a WeChat message at eight o'clock, asking when they would head to the office building to officially start the foundation's work. However, she and Chen Feng were still busy at the time and didn't reply. Then, around nine o'clock, Zhou Qianru called Tang Xinyi directly. Tang Xinyi had only just finished her work and finally answered the phone. They then agreed to meet at the office building at nine-thirty.
In fact, Jenny had already gone to the office building to officially report for duty at eight o'clock.
Zhou Qianru had been waiting for Tang Xinyi, which was why she had kept delaying until now. The fact that Tang Xinyi lived next door and hadn't come knocking directly showed considerable consideration and consideration.
Chen Feng had to take the blame for delaying Tang Xinyi's work, so he didn't argue and just let her complain a few times.
After quickly finishing breakfast at the restaurant, Tang Xinyi met up with Zhou Qianru alone, and then they went to the office building to start working. As for Chen Feng, he had already booked a flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles at noon today.
In addition, Miao Na and Chu Xiaoling, who are in Houston, boarded a plane from Houston to Los Angeles at 9 a.m. and are expected to arrive at 1 p.m.
Chen Feng's flight is at 12 PM, and the journey to Los Angeles takes about two hours, arriving at 2 PM. Once they meet, Chen Feng will take Chu Xiaoling for treatment surgery, which is essentially a blood transfusion. It's believed that just one treatment will completely cure Chu Xiaoling's leukemia, allowing her to return to school.
Bill Hicks' medical team was fully in place yesterday. Los Angeles is Bill Hicks' home base, where he has directly invested in and built hospitals. The surgeries will be performed at one of his private hospitals.
In addition, Williams Lampson, who is Molly's grandfather and the grandson of the old friend I mentioned earlier, arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and is waiting for him to join us.
By this time, Chen Feng had also learned some information about his old friend Lampson from Molly. Undoubtedly, this was also an old-money family, and actually more famous than the Lampson family. This was because over 300 years ago, the Lampson family was already one of the wealthiest families in Mexico, deeply involved in many historical events, and influencing the economic lifeline of Mexico and even the world.
This is the Mergen family of Meriga.
Compared to the Mergen family, the Lampson family was truly insignificant, and they were undoubtedly incredibly wealthy, the super-rich kind. $2 million in treatment fees was nothing to them. Besides, if the treatment wasn't successful, Chen Feng would be embarrassed to accept so much money. Because of his relationship with Molly, he had to consider both the old man's reputation and his own personal credibility.
If the condition is cured, then the $2 million in medical fees will actually seem very worthwhile. After all, the other party's grandson has intellectual disabilities, commonly known as being mentally challenged.
In any case, the Morgan family isn't at a loss in this matter. It's only because of the old man's influence that Chen Feng is willing to take this job; otherwise, he really wouldn't want to, given the risk of failure. Besides, if he can't cure the patient, Chen Feng would be embarrassed to accept so much money. Taking it would be a rather hot potato.
Chen Feng has little confidence in treating this intellectual disability, especially since the patient is already 30 years old but has the mental capacity of a 3-year-old.
However, the other party was indeed very influential, and given the influence of Old Master Williams, it was worth a try. If it succeeded, the Mergen family would owe him and the old man a tremendous favor.
Even if it's unsuccessful, Chen Feng believes that the intellectually disabled patient from the Mergen family will benefit to some extent from this treatment, after all, his blood is no ordinary blood. Even if he feels embarrassed to accept $200 million, taking $50 million at cost price is perfectly acceptable, and Chen Feng will feel perfectly justified in doing so.
After Tang Xinyi and Zhou Qianru left, he was the only one left in the hotel. Chen Feng wasn't happy being alone, so he contacted the two bodyguards who lived downstairs, and they went to the airport together.
The flight was at 12 o'clock, and it arrived in Los Angeles at around 2 pm. Because we had contacted them in advance, Brina was already waiting at the airport.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, she, like Jenny yesterday, pounced on him and gave him a hug. However, she was much more unrestrained than Jenny, or perhaps because it had been longer since their last meeting, she showered Chen Feng with passionate kisses. Almost a minute later, Chen Feng finally managed to push her away and put her off him.
"Honey, I've missed you so much. Come on, let's go to the hotel right now, I'll drive you there."
Brina, looking like she was about to burst into flames, excitedly pulled Chen Feng into her Chevrolet. Leaving the two bodyguards, Wang Yichuan and Zhang Jianhui, somewhat bewildered in the wind, they had to take a taxi to the hotel themselves. Fortunately, they knew which hotel to stay at; having served as mercenaries abroad for a long time, their English was, of course, perfectly fluent.
The hotel was booked by Brina, and Chen Feng paid for it, of course, since Brina wasn't as wealthy as Molly. Before coming to Los Angeles, Chen Feng had transferred $10 to Brina to help him book the hotel and arrange his living, sightseeing, and other expenses during his stay in Los Angeles. Brina didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it without hesitation.
$100,000 seems like a lot, but it doesn't go very far here. Chen Feng and his two bodyguards spend over $5000 a day on accommodation alone. So, if it's just accommodation, it'll cost over $50,000 for 10 days. After that, food, drinks, shopping, and return airfare, there won't be much left.
In the hotel room, after the storm had subsided, Brina, still slightly sweaty, lay on Chen Feng's body. After catching her breath for a while, she said, "I don't want to be separated from you like this anymore. Thankfully, I'll be able to study in Xiuzhou in a little over a month, then we can see each other more often and won't have to suffer the pain of longing anymore." (End of Chapter)
