The Bibo Garden District is quite large, with 18 buildings.
Hong Xiaodan's Building F is not far from Building C, with only one building in between.
Chen Feng ca out of Building C and reached Hong Xiaodan's Building F in about five or six minutes.
Her apartnt is on the ninth floor, about 180 square ters, and the interior is relatively new.
This ti, she ca with her mother and two middle-aged won in their forties or fifties, who looked like maids.
Chen Feng was prepared for this, so he wasn't surprised when he saw Mrs. Hong and the other two, greeting them in a straightforward manner.
Mrs. Hong's attitude towards Chen Feng was acceptable, not too warm but not cold either; she kept up appearances of politeness.
Moreover, Mrs. Hong was perceptive enough to lead the maids back to a room after serving tea, leaving the living room to Chen Feng and Hong Xiaodan.
"You won't mind coming to Xiu Zhou, right?"
As soon as Mrs. Hong and the others left, Hong Xiaodan asked Chen Feng with a probing tone.
"No." Chen Feng glanced at her, saying indifferently, "Coming to Xiu Zhou is your own choice."
Hong Xiaodan smiled and explained, "I ca to live in Xiu Zhou because of the child in my belly. Although the hospitals in Tianzhou are okay, they're not as good as here, especially with a specialized obstetrics hospital not far from this community, making it convenient for giving birth later.
Furthermore, back in my hotown, everyone knows I'm not in a relationship, let alone married, so suddenly being pregnant and having a baby would certainly cause a stir."
Chen Feng nodded, "I know all that, you don't need to explain it to . You're free to have the baby here; I have no objections. Even after the child is born, if you want to settle in Xiu Zhou, I won't oppose it."
Hong Xiaodan said, "We've already discussed that the child will mainly live in Tianzhou before starting primary school, though we might consider moving him to Xiu Zhou for kindergarten when he's three. We'll discuss that later."
Chen Feng said indifferently, "That's up to you."
Hong Xiaodan could sense Chen Feng's attitude, and she was prepared for it, so she continued with a smile, "I know you still have grudges against , but I promise I won't disturb your life. I also won't tell ngting and the others about our child. I'm not that kind of person."
Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but smirk slightly, saying coldly, "Even if you told them, it doesn't matter to . I have a clear conscience; it's a result of your manipulation."
Hong Xiaodan wasn't upset by this; she spoke in a sowhat pleading tone, "Please don't be angry. It was my fault, and I've apologized. If there's any way I can make it up to you, I'm willing to try."
Chen Feng looked her straight in the eyes, "If you want to make it up to , contact less in the future."
Hong Xiaodan gave a wry smile, "I'll try my best, but you know I like you a lot, and now that I'm pregnant with your child, I often find myself thinking about you, hoping you could be by my side to talk to . That would ease my mind, preventing from overthinking, which isn't good for the baby's growth."
Her words were not wrong, but Chen Feng felt like she was using the baby as leverage. Still, he couldn't really say much, since her words were factual.
"You know I'm rather lazy, I don't go out unless necessary, and you also know I hold grudges against you, so it's unlikely I'll visit you often. At most, I'll keep in touch on the phone."
What Chen Feng said was indeed true, leaving Hong Xiaodan unable to refute. She could only sigh and say, "In that case, I feel like moving to Red Villa Bay and continuing as neighbors would be convenient for us to et often."
Chen Feng slightly furrowed his brows, face cold, "If you really want to move to Red Villa Bay, I have no opinion, but I can't see you often."
Hong Xiaodan quickly forced a smile, "I'm just joking. If I really moved to Red Villa Bay, with my big belly, ngting and the others would find out sooner or later, and I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
Curling his lips, Chen Feng looked at her slightly sycophantic smile and found himself sowhat admiring her shalessness.
Hong Xiaodan sighed, "You already have many opinions about ; if my pregnancy causes you and ngting to break up, you'd dislike even more."
Chen Feng nodded sincerely, "That's true. Although I don't mind much, if this situation causes them to hold a grudge against , I'd surely bla you."
"You're really straightforward. Won't you take it easy on , considering I'm carrying your child?"
"A child is a child, and you're you. You have to distinguish the two."
"Ah, I know you resent , and even with my pregnancy, you're treating this way. After the child's born, I can't expect you to treat any better. I've been tornted by this lately, often suffering from insomnia."
"Since our families have already reached an agreent, what do you have to worry about? Stop overthinking, focus on your pregnancy, and then just give birth. Your family is well-off, you don't need to personally raise the child, nor do you need to struggle like other single mothers to earn a living for yourself and your child. You should be grateful."
These words left Hong Xiaodan speechless, but Chen Feng wasn't wrong. Compared to other single mothers with no family support, she was indeed much better off.
"Let clearly tell you, don't try to use the unborn child as a ploy to pursue . There's no possibility between us now, and there won't be one in the future.
Instead of obsessing over , why not take the opportunity to et more outstanding n? You might find your ideal match."
Chen Feng's words were quite ruthless, lacking emotional intelligence, and he seed indifferent to her pregnancy. In this regard, he could be considered a jerk.
Though Hong Xiaodan's ability to withstand blows was strong, Chen Feng's words nearly broke her defense.
"If I find soone else in the future, would you be okay with your child calling him dad?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng was slightly stunned but quickly responded, "As long as you find the right person who treats our child like their own, I have no issue with the child calling him dad."
This ti, it was Hong Xiaodan's turn to be convinced.
Both of them fell silent for a mont, and the atmosphere beca awkward.
Chen Feng took out his phone, checked it, then stood up and said, "I have sothing to do, I'm leaving now. If you need anything, you can contact anyti, but I might not reply imdiately or co over right away."
His words were basically empty, leaving Hong Xiaodan a bit frustrated, but she quickly asked, "Next week, I have a prenatal checkup at the obstetrics hospital here. Can you accompany ?"
Thinking it over, Chen Feng said, "We'll see when the ti cos."
Feeling more dejected, Hong Xiaodan didn't press further and simply expressed, "I really hope you can join then."
