After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1035 - 549: Meeting the Parents Again?

The weekend arrived again, and the weather was nice, neither too hot nor too cold, with a gentle breeze and bright sunlight.

So, after breakfast, Wu Mengting suggested the three of them go to the East Lake for a walk again to take in the beautiful lake and mountain scenery.

Chen Feng, having just started his break in the past couple of days, didn't want to move and declined.

The two women were a bit helpless about this, but after some discussion, they decided to go out together anyway. The main purpose was shopping for seasonal clothing and cosmetics, and they probably wouldn't be back by noon.

Additionally, Sister Xue had also taken the day off, so unless something unexpected happened, Chen Feng would have to handle lunch by himself.

Once Sun and Wu left, it was just him alone in the villa, but with his phone, he didn't feel lonely or isolated, as if they had just gone to work. He continued to enjoy himself quite comfortably.

He scrolled through short videos and read novels, passing the time quickly.

When he finished reading the latest chapters of the novels he's been following, Chen Feng finally had the time to check the unread messages that had come in earlier.

He first looked at the one Wu Mengting sent less than ten minutes ago, which was a few pictures of clothes, asking him which set looked better.

Chen Feng was speechless; he didn't even go shopping with her, yet she still wanted his opinion.

Though he didn't really want to respond, Wu Mengting knew very well that he's always attached to his phone, so he could only glance at the clothes photos, chose the third one, and replied.

Wu Mengting almost instantly replied, saying she had already bought the clothes in the fourth picture, asking if he thought the fourth one was not nice.

What else could Chen Feng say? He quickly replied that those clothes looked pretty too.

Wu Mengting then said she would return to that store later and buy the clothes in the third photo as well.

She could be considered a little rich lady now, so Chen Feng certainly had no objections.

This conversation wrapped up, and Chen Feng moved on to check the messages from Jin Xinyan, which also included a few photos, selfies of her and her two friends, Du'er and Lu Lu, having coffee at a café. They were not unattractive to begin with, and with beauty filters, they looked even more beautiful.

After admiring these beautiful photos for a while, Chen Feng didn't bother responding and proceeded to check the unread messages from Hong Xiaodan.

Upon opening them, it was also several photos, beautiful selfies of her, along with photos showing measurements of blood pressure, blood sugar, and body temperature, and one of her baby bump. She was only three to four months along, but her stomach was showing a noticeable bump, looking somewhat cute.

Thinking about the new life growing in her belly, his own child, Chen Feng felt a mix of surrealness and warmth.

However, Chen Feng ultimately didn't respond to her.

Next, he looked at the messages from Tian Xiaoman, similar to before, mostly consisting of various photos, including selfies and scenic shots, with very few words or voice messages.

Chen Feng only responded when he felt like it, but he was now rather uninterested in replying to the photos she sent almost every day.

Yet Tian Xiaoman was always persistent, if not every day, then almost every other day.

After reading all these unread messages, Chen Feng found it strange that he hadn't received any messages from Guo Mengyao in a few days.

Since they last contacted each other, where Chen Feng agreed to sell his stake in Mengyao Cosmetics for 1.5 billion, a few days had passed, but there had been no news from Guo Mengyao's side.

Given the billions involved, Chen Feng was quite concerned. After all, after his spree of purchasing, he didn't have much cash left.

Once the 1.5 billion was credited, his cash flow would be substantial again.

Hesitating whether to reach out to her proactively, a message suddenly came in.

It turned out to be Zhang Jingwen, whom he hadn't been in touch with for some time.

[Are you free tonight? My dad wants to invite you to our home for a simple meal.]

Seeing this message, Chen Feng couldn't help but frown, typing back to ask: [Why does your dad want to invite me for dinner?]

[I don't know either. Maybe he quite admires you.]

Seeing this, Chen Feng directly asked: [Did your dad mistakenly think we're dating?]

On the other end, Zhang Jingwen, seeing this message, felt a bit guilty. She had previously told her brother that Chen Feng was pursuing her, and then her brother, having a loose tongue, mentioned it to their parents.

Once her parents knew, they immediately contacted her to inquire about it in detail.

At that time, Zhang Jingwen had already "resigned herself to fate" and become Chen Feng's woman, so she told her parents that she had agreed to give Chen Feng a chance to pursue her, and she'd decide after some time whether to establish a relationship with him.

Her dad, understanding Chen Feng's situation a bit, said she could decide on her own, but her mom was more opposed because she knew Chen Feng was already thirty and divorced, advising her not to accept his pursuit.

As days passed, she was still filming with the movie crew, when her dad suddenly called her, asking her to invite Chen Feng over for a visit.

She found it odd too, saying she hadn't accepted Chen Feng's pursuit yet, and her dad's sudden invitation seemed inappropriate.

But her dad was persistent, claiming it was for other matters, unrelated to her and Chen Feng's relationship, which led her to reluctantly agree.

Nonetheless, even though her dad claimed it was not about her and Chen Feng, she herself found it hard to believe, and assumed Chen Feng wouldn't believe it either.

However, given her dad's insistence, she, despite feeling guilty, still invited Chen Feng over.

Faced with Chen Feng's inquiry, she could only defend herself: [That's not it. My dad said he has some other business with you.]

After some thought, Chen Feng said: [What exactly? You better tell me specifically, or else it's pointless for me to go over cluelessly.]

Zhang Jingwen, feeling slighted by how Chen Feng was not giving her any consideration, was upset, but lacking the confidence to confront him, she replied gently to diffuse the situation: [I always told my family you were pursuing me, and as I hadn't accepted your pursuit, that's why my dad wanted me to invite you over. If you refuse and demand more explanation, where does that leave my face? Boss, please grant me this favor and meet my dad, just as a courtesy, I beg you.]

To his surprise, the usually proud and aloof Zhang Jingwen softened her tone like this, and recalling their last beautiful interaction while he was sober, Chen Feng felt a warm stir in his heart and asked: [Are you still with the film crew? When do you think you'll finish shooting?]

Zhang Jingwen assumed Chen Feng was concerned about her acting career and replied: [It might take another half month to finish shooting. I'm the third lead, and the director hasn't particularly favored me, so my scenes aren't shot in one go. Otherwise, by now, my third-lead scenes might've been done.]

Her current stint with this movie crew didn't come with special treatment, at least compared to the protagonists; she received no particular benefits. Especially compared to the second female lead, her treatment was somewhat lacking, which certainly disgruntled her proud nature.

But her current status wasn't as high as last year's, and Fengmang Film and Television Company was not the biggest investor, thus not having much say in the crew. More importantly, the film's director was nationally recognized as a leading figure, wielding a lot of authority on set, making it impossible for her to show any attitude.
