Little Dan was sowhat displeased by this remark and raised her eyebrows slightly before retorting, "And what about you? Didn't you also live at Red Villa Bay before?"
Liu Ying chuckled, not shying away, and said openly, "You know my situation. It's not suitable for to keep living there with a big belly. Chen Feng arranged for to stay here. The environnt is excellent, and most importantly, it's close to the maternity hospital. For this reason, he even bought two units here."
It's fortunate that she went for a walk with her nanny this ti, rather than her mother. Otherwise, hearing Liu Ying ntion Chen Feng, she'd likely reveal the secret and get angry.
"Two units?" Little Dan and the nanny beside her both seed surprised.
The housing prices in this neighborhood were indeed rather high.
Now it was Liu Ying's turn to feel a bit proud. She nodded slightly with a smile, putting on a calm deanor. "Yes, indeed. Initially, he only intended to buy one unit. Then the household living next to was too noisy, so he simply bought both."
Listening to Liu Ying's words, Little Dan felt genuinely envious, but she quickly adjusted her mindset, not losing her rationality.
After all, she stole Chen Feng's seed, whereas Liu Ying was his "official" lover.
Furthermore, if anyone should be jealous, it should be Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui before her.
Little Dan asked, "Which building do you live in? I'm in building E."
"I'm in building C. We're quite close, aren't we? I've been living here for over a month. How about you?"
Hearing Liu Ying's words cheered up Little Dan a bit, realizing Liu Ying moved in before her. It wasn't Chen Feng deliberately sending Liu Ying over after she moved in.
It almost seed like she was intentionally being provocative to Liu Ying; she moved in after Liu Ying moved here.
"I've been here for a week and a bit." Little Dan replied with a grin.
Two won, both heavily pregnant and close in their pregnancy terms, known to each other because of Chen Feng, previously living at Red Villa Bay, now together at Bibo Garden—quite a coincidence.
Moreover, Little Dan could tell Liu Ying assud her child's father wasn't Chen Feng, hence her courteous attitude.
The thought made Little Dan chuckle inwardly.
She wondered if Liu Ying would still treat her well once she knew the truth, or perhaps even intend to befriend her.
Truth be told, they shared the sa plight: both impregnated by a man, it's proximity in pregnancy, living in the sa neighborhood, with their respective man absent.
Consequently, the more they chatted, the more congenial they beca, exchanging contact info promptly, and even agreed to go for walks together whenever the weather turned nice.
Further acquaintance—like visiting each other's hos—might happen, but the relationship wasn't quite there yet. It would take ti.
After chatting for half an hour in the pavilion, they finally took a leisurely walk back ho, parting ways afterward.
Back ho, Little Dan found her thoughts increasingly amusing.
Liu Ying indeed didn't think her pregnancy involved Chen Feng. Previously, during their chat, she hinted around, asking if Little Dan was married. Of course, Little Dan said no and then inquired about her boyfriend, his location, work, and all.
Little Dan casually answered, saying her boyfriend was in Xiu Zhou, running a company. That wasn't really lying, was it?
After laughing to herself for a while, Little Dan returned to her room, locked the door, and sent a ssage to Chen Feng.
[Went for a walk downstairs today and t Liu Ying. I was surprised she's also living in this neighborhood. Why didn't you ntion this before? We were both shocked by the encounter. Luckily, she doesn't know the baby I'm carrying is yours—she was quite polite, deliberately friendly, and even suggested future walks together.]
She sent the ssage but didn't receive a response for a long ti. After several minutes, Little Dan almost called him but eventually refrained.
She knew Chen Feng disliked her calling him.
Eventually, after dinner and a shower, nearly at six thirty, she finally received Chen Feng's reply.
[Noted. It's fine if you tell her the truth.]
Reading the ssage, Little Dan felt hurt, not only for herself but also for Liu Ying.
The primary reason Little Dan inford Chen Feng of eting Liu Ying was to serve as a warning, lest Liu Ying becos dissatisfied with Chen Feng post-disclosure.
However, evidently, Chen Feng didn't really care about either of them—even though both carried his child.
Chen Feng wasn't worried about them mutually resentful or having negative opinions of him. He simply didn't care.
Little Dan suddenly realized they truly shared the sa predicant: longing for Chen Feng's love but never obtaining it.
Yet they both ended up pregnant with his child.
Regarding this, she had no regrets, and Liu Ying most likely had fewer regrets. With a child, Liu Ying could anchor Chen Feng more securely, making it difficult for him to discard her.
In this aspect, Little Dan quite envied Liu Ying.
After much contemplation, she decided not to disclose the truth to Liu Ying for now—to avoid antagonism. Moreover, having Liu Ying's company seed pretty decent: chatting, walking, shopping together.
...
Chen Feng ditated until half-past five; when he ca down, Sun and Wu had already returned from work, waiting for him to dine collectively while browsing Zhang Kewei's script.
During dinner, he talked with them, and surprisingly, they both unanimously felt Zhang Kewei's script exceeded the pass mark, its quality quite decent. If fild, production costs wouldn't be high, with over half the scenes potentially shot indoors, unnecessary to hire big-na actors.
Seeing this, after eating, Chen Feng himself reviewed the "Good Things Elite" script, quickly skimming the first two episodes. He too found it decent, with plenty of humorous lines, even bringing him so amusent—quite remarkable.
Thus, he decided to buy it.
He instructed Sun and Wu, "Tomorrow, go to the company and discuss with Lu Sijia, determining a price that's fair neither low nor exorbitantly high. Business is business; it's fine to show a little consideration for an old classmate of mine, but no need for special privileges."
Sun and Wu both agreed.
Once he went upstairs to shower, that's when he noticed the ssage Little Dan sent earlier. He replied without much thought and didn't dwell on it.
Indeed, he didn't truly care about Liu Ying or Little Dan's feelings regarding their encounter. He was ntally prepared for this scenario long ago.
Living so close to each other in the sa neighborhood, it'd be odd if they never ran into each other.
After showering, Chen Feng exited the bathroom and checked his phone, noticing a ssage from Jin Xinyan. It stated that Lin Yujiao's track "Sunset" perford well on the charts, ranking among the top thirty on two music platforms' new song lists.
With more effort, it might enter the top ten, and by then, her song would truly be a hit.
