After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chen Feng walked back to Guo Mengyao's side.

Guo Mengyao couldn't help but say with a hint of jealousy, "You're something else, getting her pregnant. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Guo Mengyao was speaking in her hometown dialect, which only her daughter, Qianqian, could understand. At this point, he couldn't care less about maintaining the illustrious image of Uncle Chen Feng in front of his daughter.

After all, this kind of thing really affected her, because, ultimately, Shen Lin was Chen Feng's ex-wife. The two had been together for six or seven years and had been married, which was incomparable to her old classmate with whom she had no emotional foundation.

In the past, Chen Feng would have definitely retorted immediately. But now that Guo Mengyao is pregnant, he could only keep his mouth shut. He said somewhat tactfully, "Is it necessary for you to know about this? If you knew, would you feel good about it?"

Guo Mengyao knew she had no reason or right to ask Chen Feng to tell her this, but she still felt somewhat ignored. Especially considering that Shen Lin's belly was already slightly protruding, clearly indicating she was pregnant earlier than her, this made her a little jealous.

Guo Mengyao could only suppress her anger and ask, "Are you planning to remarry her in the future?"

"How could that be?" Chen Feng immediately shook his head in denial.

"Then why did you let her get pregnant with your child? Don't tell me it's not your child. Aren't you worried that she'll use the child to force you to remarry her?"

Chen Feng didn't want to say much to her, but he could tell that Guo Mengyao was holding a grudge. So he patiently explained in his hometown dialect, "Her situation is the same as yours. She begged me and swore she wouldn't force me to remarry, so I agreed."

Guo Mengyao said with a look of anger at her son's lack of self-confidence, "How could you be so stupid? You believed her when she said she wouldn't force you to get married? Once the baby is born, you can't put it back in. She'll definitely take advantage of that and want to remarry you."

Chen Feng wanted to say, "You're judging others by your own standards. You may think this way, but Shen Lin might not." However, he held back. Like he said, Guo Mengyao was pregnant, and he couldn't let her habitually argue with him.

He could only patiently continue explaining, "Even if I owe her, after all, I had no money, no house, no car, I was penniless, and she still married me. Besides, we lived in a rented apartment back then, and I was the one who initiated the divorce. I owe her an emotional debt. She begged me so desperately, what could I do? Besides, I have money now, I can have another child and raise them. As for her possibly forcing me to remarry her in the future, even if she didn't swear to me, I would never agree. Besides, I have more than one or two children now, she can't threaten me with them."

Although he was speaking to Shen Lin, he was actually also addressing Guo Mengyao. He had known for a long time that Guo Mengyao hadn't given up on the idea of ​​marrying him. Previously, she had tried to use her wealth to persuade Chen Feng to marry her, but to no avail. Later, she had to resort to this more subtle approach: having a child first.

Chen Feng knew perfectly well that Guo Mengyao had never given up on her plan to marry him. So, Chen Feng's words were essentially a reminder to her that even if she gave birth to the child, she wouldn't be able to threaten him, let alone force him to marry her.

As expected, Guo Mengyao's resentment dissipated considerably after Chen Feng said that, because she realized that even if she gave birth to a son for Chen Feng in the future, it would be difficult to force him to marry her.

Ultimately, Chen Feng already has a son, even if that son doesn't bear his surname, he's still his own flesh and blood. Besides, he has a daughter, not to mention the child in Shen Lin's belly, who conceived earlier and will be born before her. If Shen Lin gives birth to a son for Chen Feng first, it will be a devastating blow to her, jeopardizing her plan to give Chen Feng the first son with the surname Chen.

Guo Mengyao could only silently pray that Shen Lin would give birth to a daughter.

After struggling and comforting herself internally for a while, Guo Mengyao finally calmed down and said to Chen Feng in a lukewarm tone, "I hope you can keep your word. I'll see if she's thinking about remarrying you after she gives birth to the child. Many women, especially those like her who suddenly feel that their ex-husbands are better after divorce, regret it. They will definitely try every means to remarry."

"Alright, alright, you can continue shopping for clothes. There's no need for you to be angry with her. To be honest, she's much more senior than you; she's my ex-wife, after all. And you? So you don't really have the right to be angry with her. She didn't hold it against you just now; you should learn from her in that respect."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Guo Mengyao's anger flared up again, almost as if it were a habit. Fortunately, she immediately realized that she was pregnant and couldn't afford to get angry so easily. She quickly took two deep breaths and suppressed her anger.

She knew that if she continued talking to Chen Feng, she might get angry again. So she rolled her eyes at him and said with a straight face, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. Don't talk to me for now, so as not to make me angry."

In the past, Chen Feng would definitely have teased her or made a few jokes. But seeing that she was really angry, Chen Feng wisely shut his mouth and even made a zipping motion with his hand over his mouth.

Guo Mengyao ignored him and continued picking out and trying on clothes. She didn't ask Chen Feng's opinion, but instead asked her daughter. When her daughter said it was good, she immediately asked a nearby sales assistant to pack it up, and she bought it. She picked out six more outfits, making a total of twelve, before finally stopping.

"Alright, let's buy these for today. Go pay the bill, settle the bill, and help me get a card." Guo Mengyao gestured to Chen Feng with her eyes.

Chen Feng didn't say much, just nodded, and went to the cashier to swipe his card, get a new card, and pay. Then he carried six shopping bags in each hand. Guo Mengyao and her daughter each carried three shopping bags.

Seeing this, Chen Feng said, "How about we call it a day? You've walked quite a distance, you can't tire yourself out too much."

Guo Mengyao pouted and said, "I originally wanted to shop around more, but I was really unlucky today, it was such a disappointment. Let's go back."

Chen Feng opened his mouth, but resisted the urge to argue with her. He picked up his shopping bags and walked out of the clothing store first. Then, waiting for the mother and daughter to come out of the store, he took a slight step ahead to clear the way.

The three of them, adults and child, walked silently for a few minutes until they were almost at the parking lot. Suddenly, three more people approached from the front—three women, one of whom was an old acquaintance. Chen Feng immediately felt a headache coming on. At that moment, Guo Mengyao, who was slightly behind, also saw the old acquaintance walking towards them, and her expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

"Hey, Chen Feng, what a coincidence, I actually ran into you here. Didn't you go abroad? Why are you back all of a sudden? And... you're even shopping with someone?" When Gong Huize saw Chen Feng and the other two, he quickly walked up to Chen Feng, looking at Chen Feng, Guo Mengyao, and the little girl Qianqian with a curious yet teasing expression.

Then, without waiting for Chen Feng's answer, she bent down slightly and asked the pretty and cute Xixi, "Little girl, how old are you this year? Chen Feng isn't your father, is he?"

Sisi wasn't a timid child. Besides, she was already in elementary school. Facing Gong Huize's teasing, she confidently replied, "Yes, he's my dad. Auntie, do you know my dad? When did you meet him? What's your relationship with him?"

Caught off guard by the little girl's sudden barrage of three questions, Gong Huize was momentarily speechless. Her reaction, however, vented Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao's frustration. Chen Feng was not pleased with Gong Huize's sudden teasing. Guo Mengyao, on the other hand, instinctively felt disgusted and resistant upon seeing Gong Huize's flamboyant demeanor.

At this moment, Zhao Zixuan and Shi Huili finally approached. Zhao Zixuan calmly nodded to Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao, then asked, "Are you shopping?" Her gaze then fell on the six shopping bags Chen Feng was carrying, clearly labeled "Maternity Wear," so she looked at Guo Mengyao's stomach and asked casually, "Are you pregnant? Is it Chen Feng's?"

Caught red-handed by her old classmate, Guo Mengyao, even a tomboy, was visibly embarrassed, her face slightly flushed. However, she was also quite bold, readily nodding and admitting, "Yes, I'm pregnant. Congratulate me!"

Zhao Zixuan chuckled twice and congratulated her with great poise, saying, "Then I congratulate you. And Chen Feng too, it seems you're going to be a father again. It's truly a blessing to have many children. I don't think you'll be surrounded by children and grandchildren in just a few years."

Gong Huize finally came to her senses and teased Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you really have a lot of children, your daughter is already so big. Why didn't you mention her before?"

Guo Mengyao still showed some leniency towards her high school classmate Zhao Zixuan, but she wouldn't show any leniency towards Gong Huize, this overly familiar and flamboyant woman. She directly said with a straight face, "Are you very familiar with Chen Feng? There are many things about him that you don't know."

Chen Feng frowned, gave Gong Huize a warning look, then nodded slightly to Shi Huili and said to Zhao Zixuan, "What a coincidence. Are you out shopping today too?"

He abruptly changed the subject.

Zhao Zixuan didn't respond. Gong Huize pursed his lips and didn't respond either. Shi Huili, however, was very polite and immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes. Isn't today the weekend? We were bored at home, so we came out for a walk. We really didn't expect to run into you here. By the way, congratulations. Oh, congratulations to you both. I wish you a speedy delivery of your baby."

Guo Mengyao was delighted to hear Shi Huili say this. She immediately smiled, nodded, and responded politely.

Chen Feng didn't want to talk to them anymore; the situation was indeed a bit awkward. Today didn't seem to be his lucky day either. He'd only come to buy clothes, and yet he'd run into two groups of people, including two of his ex-lovers. And it just so happened that it happened while he was buying maternity clothes for Guo Mengyao.

He naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he continued somewhat awkwardly, "Alright, you guys can continue shopping, we're going back now."

After saying that, he nodded to the three of them again, then, carrying six shopping bags, walked past them towards the parking area. Guo Mengyao also reached out and pulled her daughter along, without saying goodbye to Zhao Zixuan. Not to mention the other two.

After they walked away, Gong Huize curled his lip and said with a disdainful look, "What's with the arrogance? She's clearly not Chen Feng's daughter, but she insists she is, as if she doesn't know. Neither of them are any good people."

After saying this, she reached out and took Zhao Zixuan's arm, whispering, "Zixuan, you'd better step up your game. Look at her, she already has one child, and she's still working overtime to have another one with Chen Feng. If you want to be with Chen Feng long-term, I think you can totally have a child with him too. Anyway, he's so rich, you don't have to worry about not being able to afford it. But if you're just playing around with him, then you absolutely must be careful and take precautions. You can't let it lead to someone getting pregnant."

Zhao Zixuan kept a straight face and didn't say a word. Shi Huili immediately gave Gong Huize a subtle look, signaling her to stop talking. Then, she smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, let's continue shopping. I remember there's a really nice clothing store up ahead. It's not top-tier luxury, but it's still a well-known brand with trendy styles and good quality. Come on, I'll take you there."

After saying that, she pulled Zhao Zixuan and walked forward.

Chen Feng and his two companions finally reached the parking spot. They then stuffed all the bags and packages into the trunk and got into the car.

Guo Mengyao and her daughter both sat in the back seat. Chen Feng went to the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and started the car while saying, "Alright, don't overthink it. People will find out about your pregnancy sooner or later. It doesn't matter whether they find out sooner or later. Besides, we're both single, and getting pregnant is very normal in today's society. The country even encourages having more children."

Guo Mengyao, however, looked completely unfazed. She didn't mince words or try to hide anything and directly expressed her concerns: "I'm worried that she'll expose this in our high school classmates' group chat. If that happens, a lot of classmates will definitely call and ask me about it. I really won't have the face to go back to my hometown to face my family and friends."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Is it really that exaggerated? You're ashamed to face your elders in Jiangdong? Do you think having my child would make you too ashamed to show your face to anyone?"

Guo Mengyao said helplessly, "That's not what I meant. Don't you feel ashamed? All our old classmates will know that we have a child out of wedlock. And don't forget, many of our old classmates know that you already have a girlfriend. When Qin Zhen got engaged, Mengting was there too, and many people knew about it then."

Chen Feng, however, seemed completely unconcerned and continued with a smile, "So what if you know? At worst, you can just say that Mengting and I broke up."

Guo Mengyao was taken aback at first, then overjoyed. (End of Chapter)
