After the divorce, I started to transfer

Although Chen Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything to Wu Mengting. He could only force a smile and say, "Alright, I understand what you mean. I'll teach Liu Ying a lesson. I added her to this project team so she'd have something to do, instead of causing me trouble all the time and giving me a headache."

Wu Mengting sighed softly and said, "It seems you still can't bear to break up with her. The more you indulge a woman like her, the more she'll take advantage of you and become increasingly lawless. Just because she gave you a daughter, are you really going to let her be so shameless?"

In this matter, Chen Feng also felt that Liu Ying was somewhat lacking in self-awareness, actually contacting Wu Mengting directly and even hoping that Wu Mengting would help remove Tang Xinyi. It could be said that she was using someone else to do her dirty work. He didn't know whether to call her clever or foolish. How could Wu Mengting be so easily swayed by her?

However, Chen Feng didn't like Wu Mengting speaking to him in that tone, and it seemed to be trying to force him to break up with Liu Ying, which was something he couldn't accept.

However, Chen Feng really didn't want to argue with her, so he shrugged and said:
"Before contacting you, she had already told me that she was clearly against Tang Xinyi being the head of this project team, but I refused. She did want to be the head of the project team herself, but she obviously didn't have the confidence to do so. It was because I opposed replacing Tang Xinyi that she contacted you."

"Ultimately, she was worried that I would be scammed. Also, she wasn't familiar with Tang Xinyi and didn't trust her. In the end, it's really a small matter, so don't overthink it. You should know why I haven't broken up with her: it's because we had a daughter together, and I love her very much now."

“I want to be a good father, so I can only try my best to give my daughter a seemingly complete family, so that at least in her eyes, her parents still love each other. So, do you understand what I mean? Don’t tell me to dump Liu Ying next time. Unless she really does something I can’t forgive, or something heinous. Otherwise, if you say something like that again, it will only hurt our relationship.”

Chen Feng had been quite frank in explaining his intentions. After he finished speaking, Wu Mengting's expression remained relatively normal, still somewhat expressionless as before. But Chen Feng believed that she had taken his words to heart.

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going upstairs to take a shower." With that, Chen Feng stood up and went upstairs.

After he left, Wu Mengting turned to Sun Xiaorui, who had remained silent, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Look at her, Liu Ying is really cunning. Just because she gave birth to a daughter for my brother, her position is now very secure, and she even wants to directly interfere in my brother's foundation. You could say she's arrogant, but she really does have the qualifications. So, do you want to have a child for my brother too?"

Sun Xiaorui was taken aback when she heard the last sentence. She was genuinely surprised. She didn't know if this was Wu Mengting testing her or a sudden whim.

After a while, she carefully said, "Actually, I have thought about whether I should have a child with him. But he has never brought it up, and... he always uses protection during sex, so I can only assume that he doesn't want me to get pregnant."

After a moment of silence, Wu Mengting said, "Do you want to have his child? I want to hear your honest opinion."

Sun Xiaorui gave her a deep look, then awkwardly avoided her gaze and said softly, "Of course I want to have a child with him too. After all, I really like him and I've never thought about leaving him. Besides, he's already had children with other women, so I think I have that right too. At least I believe my feelings are purer than those women's, and Chen Feng should like me more than Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan. They were all scheming against Chen Feng from the very beginning."

Wu Mengting nodded, then put her hand on her shoulder and looked directly at her, saying solemnly, "Okay, I agree to you having a child with my brother. I'll find a chance to talk to him about it. Of course, it would be best if you also talked to him and expressed your willingness. I believe that as long as you ask, he should agree. After all, he can have children with women like Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan, so it's even more reasonable for him to have a child with you. Just like you said, compared to them, my brother should like you more."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaorui became somewhat excited and immediately asked seriously, "Mengting, you're not joking with me, are you? Is this a spur-of-the-moment decision, or is it a thought you've carefully considered? If it's just a spur-of-the-moment decision, and you agree to let me have a child now but disagree tomorrow, then I think we should just forget about it. Actually, I'm not in such a hurry to have a child. After all, I'm not that old yet, only 26 years old. Waiting another two or three years won't be a problem."

Wu Mengting shook her head and said, "This is something I've thought about carefully, not something I did on a whim. Actually, it wasn't that I was unreasonable before and didn't want you to have a child for my brother. It's just that back then you couldn't prove that you truly loved my brother and that you weren't just after his money. Now that you've proven it, at least after observing you for so long, I trust you completely. Plus, other women have already had children for him, so it's even more natural for you to have one for him too. It's time for our family to have a child."

Wu Mengting's statement can be considered an open and honest expression of her thoughts.

Sun Xiaorui was overjoyed. Unable to contain her excitement, she hugged Wu Mengting tightly and said happily, "Thank you, Mengting, thank you! Don't worry, even if I have a child with Chen Feng, I won't take advantage of his favor. And after the child is born, I'll make him call you 'Mom,' or 'Auntie,' and call me 'Second Aunt.'"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and gently hugged her, saying with a smile, "If you let your child call me 'Auntie,' wouldn't that make me sound old? Why don't you just have the child call both of us 'Mom' from now on? I'll tell everyone that I'm his godmother, and you're his biological mother. I'm not as feudal as those families in ancient times. I'm not the child's legal mother, and you're not his stepmother."

Although Sun Xiaorui felt that calling both of them "Mom" could be confusing at times, since Wu Mengting had already said so, she didn't want to cause any trouble and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then he can call both of us 'Mom'. He'll have two moms then, which will be a blessing for him."

Wu Mengting smiled and then urged, "Then it's decided. I think there's no time like the present, so go up now and try to seize the opportunity to get pregnant with my brother's child as soon as possible. Of course, you should also make things clear to him and say that I agree. I will talk to him about this another day, and I believe he won't refuse. After all, he already has a child with another woman, so even to be fair, he has to give you a child."

"Okay... I'll go find him now." Sun Xiaorui stopped being coy and stood up, quickly walking upstairs.

In truth, she had long wanted to have a child with Chen Feng. She wasn't particularly ambitious, always content and obedient, never dreaming of eventually rising in status or marrying Chen Feng. But she genuinely longed to have a child with him, because it would ensure she had a place in his life.

Besides, she genuinely wanted to have a child with Chen Feng, both physically and psychologically. She said she was still young, but she wasn't actually that young anymore. By the traditional Chinese age reckoning, she was already 27 this year, and even if she got pregnant this year, she would be 28 when she gave birth next year. Having a child at that age, while not too late in this era, wasn't early either; it was definitely considered late childbearing.

As Wu Mengting watched Sun Xiaorui hurry upstairs, she couldn't help but sigh silently, then subconsciously reached out and touched her lower abdomen.

Actually, she had lied to Chen Feng. She had tried several times to conceive a child with him, but had been unable to get pregnant. Then, of course, she went to the hospital for a checkup. All the data showed that she was very healthy, and the functions of her reproductive organs were normal.

However, in some details, her luteal function was relatively weak. Simply put, her ability to implant a fertilized egg was poor. This is the Western medical explanation; in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's called infertility. Afterward, she consulted several specialists at different hospitals for detailed examinations and treatments. The conclusions were similar to the first hospital, and further investigation revealed multiple immune system issues. In short, she had antibodies, multiple antibodies, that strongly rejected fertilization, naturally making it difficult for her to conceive.

This condition is very difficult to treat medically, and even if treatment is available, it will take a very long time—one or two years, two or three years, or even several years—before it can be cured. It might even leave her physically and mentally exhausted, unable to do anything else.

Wu Mengting certainly didn't want that to happen. She was currently in the prime of her career and couldn't let go of Fengmang Films, as well as her career as a screenwriter and producer. Besides, she was still quite young, and in two or three years, she really wanted to have a child with Chen Feng. At that time, she would think of other ways.

So, before that, she could only find an alternative way to firmly hold onto Chen Feng's heart, or rather, to keep Chen Feng in their nominal home. Therefore, the best alternative was undoubtedly Sun Xiaorui.

After Sun Xiaorui successfully gives birth, she won't need any further treatment, as she can have Sun Xiaorui carry the child through medical surrogacy. It's believed that Sun Xiaorui will agree at that time.

Actually, she had initially considered using this method to get Sun Xiaorui to help her have a child. But after careful consideration and much hesitation, she had no choice but to give up.

First, this method is illegal in China; if it were to be done, it could only be done abroad. This would require Sun Xiaorui to stay abroad for an extended period, which is somewhat unreasonable. Second, neither Chen Feng nor Sun Xiaorui might agree. Especially Sun Xiaorui, who hasn't even had a child herself; if he were to have a child for her, she would definitely be very resistant.

So, after much deliberation, Wu Mengting could only do Sun Xiaorui a favor by letting her have a child first, and then help her have a child as well.

While doing this might seem like an act of kindness in exchange for something in return, it's the only option. Even if she undergoes long-term treatment and recovers, it will take at least a year or two. Moreover, such treatment might have very negative effects on her health, which is something she doesn't want.

In addition, she actually had some psychological fear and trauma about giving birth, so there was no doubt that finding someone else to help her give birth was her only option.

Of course, she could easily ask other women for help, as long as she paid them. But she felt that Chen Feng would be even less likely to allow it.

Furthermore, the thought of her child being born from another strange woman made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. But if the child were to be born from Sun Xiaorui's womb, it would be much more acceptable. She believed Chen Feng wouldn't object too much then, since it was indeed very difficult for her to conceive naturally these days.

Wu Mengting knew that what she was doing was somewhat despicable. But it was indeed the best solution she could think of. She was with Chen Feng, and even planned to marry him in the future; they couldn't be incapable of having a child, could they? Therefore, she and Chen Feng had to have a child.

Sun Xiaorui, of course, was unaware of Wu Mengting's scheming. At this moment, she was genuinely overjoyed and happy, because the main obstacle preventing her from conceiving Chen Feng's child was Wu Mengting. Now, Wu Mengting herself had offered to have a child with Chen Feng, not only removing the obstacle but also turning it into an asset. Therefore, without a doubt, Chen Feng would have no reason to refuse her request to have the child.

She quickly arrived at Chen Feng's room, and without knocking, simply turned the doorknob and went inside. Chen Feng was indeed taking a shower in the bathroom, the sound of running water filling the air. They were practically an old married couple, so she didn't say anything. After closing the door, she immediately headed towards the bathroom.

She pushed open the bathroom door, and Chen Feng heard her. He put down the showerhead, turned around, saw her, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Does Mengting know?"

Sun Xiaorui said excitedly, "Mengting just told me that she agrees to let me have a child with you. So, what's your opinion? Are you willing to give me a child?"

Chen Feng was taken aback. He immediately turned off the water, opened the glass door of the shower, and asked seriously, "Did she really say that to you? You're not joking, are you?"

Sun Xiaorui smiled and nodded, saying, "She really said that to me. Just now, she urged me to come upstairs to find you. It seemed like she wanted me to get pregnant with your child right away."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng became even more suspicious, saying with disbelief, "When did she become so generous and open-minded? I really don't believe it."

Sun Xiaorui rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "I'm not lying to you, that's exactly what she just told me. I think she's getting anxious because she hasn't gotten pregnant with your child yet. So, she asked me to help her try to have a child soon so she can keep your heart. After all, compared to Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan, I'm closer to her and listen to her more."

After hearing her explanation, Chen Feng was somewhat convinced and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "It seems she was provoked by Liu Ying. Unfortunately, she's not very fertile; she's been with me so many times before but hasn't gotten pregnant, so she asked you for help. Indeed, as you said, you're closer to her than Liu Ying and Xiao Dan."

"And if you do have a child and it's true that you'll live with us in the future, is she planning to use the child to compete for our affection? But no matter how much I spoil you, I can't ignore the other children. So, you should be prepared and not think that just because you have a child in the future, I'll be able to dote on you the only one."

Sun Xiaorui didn't seem to care much about Chen Feng's words. Instead, she grasped the key point and asked happily, "So, you agree to have a child with me?"

Chen Feng opened his arms and smiled, saying, "You should know that the reason I didn't want you to get pregnant before was because I was afraid Mengting would overthink it. But now that she has agreed, what reason do I have to refuse? After all, Liu Ying and Xiao Dan already have children, and compared to them, I am obviously closer to you."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Sun Xiaorui was deeply moved. Ignoring the fact that Chen Feng was soaking wet, she took a few steps forward and hugged him. (End of Chapter)
