After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1858 A Powerful Friend
The next morning.
After waking up, Chen Feng glanced at Luna beside him and was lost in thought for a moment. Luna was different from the women Chen Feng had been with before; with her unique charm and allure, he was reluctant to let go.
After looking at her for a while, Chen Feng got up by himself, tidied up briefly, and left the room.
Chen Feng has always maintained the habit of exercising in the morning. However, being in a foreign country like Los Angeles and unfamiliar with the area, he didn't plan to go for a morning run on the streets and went directly to the hotel gym. Because the hotel is located in a prime location, the occupancy rate is very high, and although it was still early, there were already about ten people working out in the gym.
To Chen Feng's disappointment, there were no attractive women around, only a few young men and middle-aged men and women who were overweight. He looked away and found an empty spot to start exercising.
After a dozen minutes of dumbbell exercises, pull-up bars, and squats, Chen Feng broke out in a light sweat and prepared to leave.
Just then, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and wearing tight-fitting sportswear came over to greet her: "Hi, you have a great figure, I'm so envious. Can you tell me about your workout tips? Oh, by the way, my name is Jones."
Jones was a white woman in her forties with many brown spots on her face and arms. Although she was not bad looking, she was obviously not Chen Feng's type.
Chen Feng was a seasoned veteran; he could tell from the way the other person looked at him that they weren't really there to ask for training tips.
However, out of politeness, he replied, "Thank you, my name is John, I'm just practicing randomly, there's nothing I can teach you."
"John, you're too modest. We're both fitness enthusiasts, and your physique is a testament to your long-term dedication to training. Teach me, and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Sorry, I have to go now."
Chen Feng didn't give the other person a chance to continue flirting and quickly walked past him. He decided not to come to the gym tomorrow to avoid being harassed—a man needs to protect himself when he's out in the world.
Back in his room, Chen Feng took a shower. After changing his clothes, he was about to go to the dining room when Luna woke up.
She sat on the edge of the bed, still half-asleep, but greeted him with a smile: "Honey, good morning."
Seeing that she looked rather cute, Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's still early. If you want to sleep, then continue sleeping."
Luna rubbed her eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
It's almost eight o'clock.
Luna quickly got up and said, "Then I won't sleep. I usually get up no later than 7:30, but I didn't expect to sleep until 8 o'clock today."
She deftly threw off the covers and got out of bed. As the covers slipped off, Chen Feng's gaze couldn't help but linger on her.
Luna noticed, but instead of being shy, she gave him a sweet smile and returned a charming and smug look, her demeanor relaxed and natural.
Then, she dressed herself neatly in front of Chen Feng, smiled sweetly at him, and said, "Can you wait for me? I'd like to have breakfast with you."
Chen Feng withdrew his gaze and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Luna was quick and efficient, taking only five minutes to wash up and change clothes, which impressed Chen Feng. As expected of a model, her clothes-changing and makeup-doing were professional and fast.
The two arrived at the restaurant. During the meal, Luna seemed very happy, her gaze towards Chen Feng filled with affection. Clearly, after spending the night together, she was very satisfied with Chen Feng. In fact, Chen Feng felt the same way; otherwise, he wouldn't have changed his mind and decided to continue their relationship.
Luna became more talkative than before, and took the initiative to start talking about her family and her work experience over the past few years.
She came to Los Angeles alone at the age of eighteen to make a living, starting as a waitress. Later, she met agent Simon and signed with her current company to become a model.
Seeing her so frank, Chen Feng briefly introduced himself: he owned a film and television company in Longguo, had a live-in girlfriend, and even told her about his divorce.
The reason I told her all this was so that she wouldn't develop any unrealistic ideas about me.
Luna asked in surprise, "You've actually been divorced? Why did your ex-wife leave you? Was it because you were too much of a womanizer?"
“My ex-wife and I dated for almost seven years before our divorce, and I never did anything to betray her during that time,” Chen Feng explained. “The reasons for the divorce were complicated, mainly because my work and life were in trouble at the time.”
Luna asked doubtfully, "Just because life isn't going well?"
“I initiated the divorce. At that time, our relationship had reached a freezing point, and we had been in a long-term cold war. I felt that continuing would be torture for both of us. When I brought up divorce, she did not refuse.”
Luna pursed her lips and sighed, "Your ex-wife was such a fool to let go of such a perfect man like you."
In her opinion, Chen Feng is handsome, charismatic, and wealthy, with exceptional physical strength, stamina, and energy. Being a womanizer is not a flaw at all.
Chen Feng didn't elaborate on the truth behind his divorce from his ex-wife, which stemmed from his brain cancer diagnosis and his desire not to burden her. Back then, he was just a low-level worker who couldn't support his family, a stark contrast to his current situation.
"Tell me about your current situation," Chen Feng said, getting back to the point. "Tell me the specific problems you're facing, and I'll help you solve them."
When talking about the trouble she was in, Luna's smile faded, and she said truthfully, "It's mainly because of Hank, whom we met in New York. He has a very good relationship with Kane, the marketing director of my company. Kane made the last-minute decision to replace me in the previous print ad. After I came back from New York, I was blacklisted by the company and had no gigs. I still have more than two years left on my contract with the company, and if I want to leave, I will have to pay a very high penalty."
Chen Feng then asked, "Do you want to terminate your contract, or do you want the company to reinstate you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Luna said, "Simon has always been very kind to me and has helped me avoid a lot of business activities that I dislike. If I can work normally, I still want to stay."
"Understood." Chen Feng said confidently, "I'll help you deal with Kane. As for Hank, who's taking revenge on you, I won't let him get away with it either."
Luna felt a warmth in her heart and asked curiously, "What do you plan to do?"
"I have a very capable friend here. I can just give him a call and he can handle it for me."
Luna asked incredulously, "Is it really that simple?"
Chen Feng laughed and said, "In this world, many troubles are easily solved as long as you have a powerful friend. My friend is a local bigwig here. Don't even mention a director; even your company boss is no match for him."
Luna was skeptical, but then she thought of Molly, the heiress of the Lampson family. Using such power would indeed be easy. But it seemed Chen Feng had no intention of using Molly's connections.
"What does your friend do?" Luna asked curiously.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, he can help you solve your current troubles. As for what he does specifically, you don't need to ask."
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Luna ultimately chose to believe Chen Feng. After all, she had no other choice, and Chen Feng's confident demeanor left her with no reason not to. Chen Feng then said, "Give me your bank account number. I'll transfer $100,000 to you later. Go buy yourself a nice car to elevate your image. After all, you're a model, and a nice car will raise your profile. Of course, you can use this money as you see fit. Besides the car, you can buy other things, like nice bags or cosmetics."
Luna's expression became somewhat complicated upon hearing this, and she asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to take me shopping? Just give me the money directly?"
"I have to go out later and won't have time to keep you company. I know you don't have much income right now, and I want to help you. Money is nothing to me, and since we've already established this kind of relationship, please don't stand on ceremony with me."
At this point, Chen Feng paused, then his tone became serious as he continued, "If you're willing, you can be my woman from now on. I can give you a monthly allowance. The only requirement is that you can't date other men while you're with me, and you must remain loyal to me. If one day you lose feelings for me and want to end things, tell me in advance, and I will respect that and wish you happiness."
Luna stared at him in shock: "You... intend to have a long-term relationship with me?"
Chen Feng nodded frankly: "Of course, I feel like I've fallen for you. If you can't accept it, I respect your decision."
After a long silence, Luna asked, "Can we see each other often? How many times a month?"
This question stumped Chen Feng, but he still chose to tell the truth: "I am from China, and I spend most of my time in China. I come to America at least once or twice a year, and each time I stay for ten days to half a month. I can only guarantee that I will see you after I come here, but I can't guarantee anything more. I can only say that I will try my best to come here to see you more often."
Luna's eyes dimmed instantly, and she looked somewhat sullen. Seeing him only once or twice a year was hard for her to accept, especially since she felt she had already fallen in love with Chen Feng.
The two remained silent until Luna finished her breakfast and stood up, at which point she spoke up: "Can I think about it? If we're going to maintain this relationship, we'll have to see each other at least every two or three months, or I'll go crazy."
“Alright,” Chen Feng sighed. “Although this isn’t fair to you, I will try my best to compensate you with money and resources. I know you’re not a greedy person, but I will never be stingy.”
Luna nodded and walked towards the restaurant entrance. After returning to her room and closing the door, she suddenly turned around and stared at Chen Feng, asking, "In your eyes, am I just a prostitute, or the kind of gold digger who's only interested in climbing the social ladder?"
Chen Feng immediately shook his head: "Of course not. I'm very picky. If you were that kind of woman, I would never have brought you back last night."
Luna's expression softened considerably, and she said with a hint of teasing, "So, you really have your eye on me?"
Chen Feng laughed and said, "If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have talked to you so much."
Luna finally smiled, her voice softening: "Actually, I've fallen for you too. You fulfill all my fantasies about men—handsome, rich, and physically strong. So, I accept your conditions. From now on, I'm your woman. But if you can't visit me often in the future, I might not be able to handle it, and I might still choose to break up with you. I hope you can understand me."
Chen Feng solemnly promised, "Of course. But don't worry, we'll definitely meet more than once or twice a year. I have a charitable foundation in America, and I come here several times a year. Also, you can fly to China to see me, and I'll reimburse all your expenses."
Luna's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "That's a great idea! How come I didn't think of that before? I've never been to Dragon Kingdom. I've heard that it has beautiful scenery and delicious food, and I've always wanted to go there."
Seeing that she accepted, Chen Feng was in a great mood. He smiled and hugged her, saying affectionately, "Then there's no problem. Don't be pessimistic about our future. At least we like each other now and are happy together, aren't we?"
Luna smiled again and hugged Chen Feng tightly.
……
Meanwhile, in a top-floor office of a building on Wall Street.
Joseph sat respectfully on a stool in front of a large desk.
Behind the desk sat Mr. Moore, a Jewish man in his fifties with jet-black hair and sharp eyes. He sat casually in his large executive chair, staring at Joseph, making the latter feel immense pressure.
“I’m sorry, sir. I failed in my duty this time,” Joseph said, bowing his head slightly, looking sincere and remorseful for his mistake. “I will find another way to make that Chinese man submit.”
Mr. Moore shook his head slightly and said gently, “This isn’t your fault. We knew from the beginning that he had close ties with the Lampson family, and that he had even saved Carl Hicks’ life and Senator Bellis’s daughter. With so many people backing him, it’s indeed a troublesome situation. Even I’m a bit hesitant to take a hard line against him now. So, what’s wrong with you?”
While these words sounded reasonable, Joseph felt a cold sweat break out on his back. As someone who had followed this old money tycoon for over twenty years, he knew all too well Mr. Moore's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness.
Joseph quickly said, "Sir, please give me another chance, I will definitely make him submit."
Mr. Moore shook his head, stood up from his executive chair, and turned to walk to the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window was the bustling Wall Street, where the air seemed to be filled with the scent of money.
“I may not give Carl Hicks face, but we can’t ignore old Williams’s. Also, we need to consider Senator Bellis’s feelings. We can’t confront them head-on right now, otherwise, even if I’m fine, I’m afraid you and Julian will run into trouble.”
Joseph tentatively asked, "So, sir, you mean..."
"Didn't that Chinese guy mention cooperation? If that's the case, there's no need to be forceful with him. Let's talk to him first. If he can cooperate, we won't need to resort to unconventional methods."
"Yes, sir, I know what to do."
……
After learning about Luna's situation, Brina did not contact Chen Feng, nor did she rush to the hotel to confront Luna.
But that doesn't mean she wasn't resentful. As a normal person, even if she didn't have high expectations of Chen Feng and never thought about marrying him, she still hoped that Chen Feng would only have her as his woman, at least in Los Angeles, her territory. Now that Luna had suddenly appeared, she naturally felt uncomfortable.
But she knew very well that if she got angry with Chen Feng or went to Luna's house to cause trouble, it would only damage her relationship with Chen Feng. She didn't want their relationship to sour, and she didn't want Chen Feng to get angry or even distance himself from her.
After thinking it over, Brinna sent a message to Molly, telling her about Luna.
The two have kept in touch since they met, as they are both from Mexico and are natural allies.
Therefore, even though they each had their own thoughts, their relationship remained on the surface.
Molly was even more upset than Brina when she heard the news. She had met Luna in New York and subtly warned her. Yet, that bitch had still managed to hook up with her man, which made her feel like her territory had been invaded.
Molly, too, didn't dare confront or argue with Chen Feng, but she wanted to cause trouble for Luna. Unfortunately, she was currently in New York, busy with her father's affairs, and couldn't spare the time.
Left with no other choice, she could only express her strong dissatisfaction with Luna to Brina, and grit her teeth and say that she would definitely teach that bitch a lesson the next time she saw her.
At this moment, Luna had no idea that she had already been hated by two women. After reaching an agreement with Chen Feng, she was like a girl in her first love, not wanting to be separated from her lover for even a moment.
But Chen Feng doesn't belong to her alone. Besides, he made an appointment with Qin Xiaorou yesterday to pick her up at nine o'clock this morning and take her to Universal Studios.
Chen Feng agreed at the time, but he didn't want to be a person who broke his promise.
In addition, Chen Feng always regarded Qin Xiaorou as his younger sister and was very tolerant of her, enduring her strange temper and sharp tongue.
Therefore, he had to keep his word and not let Qin Xiaorou down. (End of Chapter)
