After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1132 - 597: Matters of the Heart Can’t Be Forced

Hong Xiaodan suddenly seemed to revert to the way she was when she first met Chen Feng—direct, proactive, with a strong personality—but Chen Feng didn't like it.

Chen Feng stiffened his body, feeling like he was being taken advantage of.

He just thought about how he was already a 30-year-old greasy man who had been divorced; having the oil rubbed off of him almost felt like the other person held him in high regard.

The main thing is, now they even have a child together, so her hugging him a little seems like no big deal. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Of course, the reason Chen Feng was so condescending to himself was mainly because she was now pregnant, dealing with prenatal depression or something, and he certainly couldn't upset her any further. On the contrary, he had to comfort her, reassure her, and make sure she was well both physically and mentally.

However, men are like this; in relationships between men and women, many times, their bottom line lowers more and more. Don't believe there is pure friendship between men and women because it can easily cross the line.

Therefore, if your girlfriend has a male best friend, you'd better be careful. Even if he is gay, there's still a high probability of him putting a forgiveness hat on you.

After another two or three minutes passed, Chen Feng couldn't bear it anymore.

After all, Hong Xiaodan was indeed a beautiful rich girl, and perhaps because of her pregnancy, she became more alluring. Leaning on him like this inevitably made his heart flutter a little.

He didn't want to make any mistakes and said, "Alright, let's sit down."

He gently patted her back to remind her, and only then did Hong Xiaodan reluctantly respond with a soft 'hmm,' blushing, looking up at him with watery eyes, and released her arms that were tightly wrapped around his waist.

Only then did Chen Feng manage to break free from her embrace, took two steps back, and sat back in the chair he was in earlier, then invited her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"How are you feeling now? Are you in a better mood?" Chen Feng asked seriously.

Hong Xiaodan nodded with a smile and said frankly, "Much better. If you could have been this close to me earlier, I wouldn't have been unable to sleep all night, sometimes suddenly feeling flustered, with palpitations and difficulty breathing."

Hearing her words, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a jolt. If she was in such physical condition, the baby in her belly would definitely also suffer, so he couldn't help but ask, "I heard from Liu Ying, this time your prenatal checkup showed the fetus had an irregular heartbeat, what did the doctor say? Is it serious?"

Hong Xiaodan's smile instantly disappeared, and her hands unconsciously touched her protruding belly lightly. She sighed and said, "It's all my fault, my physical and mental health have never been that good. The irregular heartbeat isn't too severe for now, but it definitely needs more attention.

The doctor suggested I eat a lighter diet, avoid spicy, greasy foods, abstain from smoking and drinking, and preferably avoid tea and coffee. Clothes should be loose and comfortable. Most importantly, I need to relax as much as possible, maintain a good mood, and avoid excessive stress and overwork."

Chen Feng was somewhat relieved when he heard this. He had searched online a bit before, got a rough idea, but hearing it directly from Hong Xiaodan's mouth reassured him more.

"Then you should follow the doctor's advice, eat light, and definitely no smoking. You've quit smoking, haven't you?" Chen Feng looked at her slightly sternly.

When they first met, Hong Xiaodan had boldly smoked right in front of him, leaving a very bad first impression.

Hong Xiaodan immediately said, "Quit, I quit a long time ago."

"That's good." Chen Feng nodded and said with a slight approval, "Since you've quit, don't smoke again. Everyone knows smoking is harmful to health. As a man, I don't smoke, so a woman smoking is a bit excessive."

Hong Xiaodan weakly said, "Got it, I won't smoke anymore."

Chen Feng then said, "Next, follow the doctor's instructions, and properly adjust your physical and mental state, ensuring the fetus grows healthily."

"Mhm, mhm, I'll definitely try to adjust my body, but I don't know how to adjust my mental state and emotions right away."

After saying that, Hong Xiaodan looked at Chen Feng, eyes watery.

Chen Feng naturally understood what she meant; she wanted his help to adjust.

Even though Chen Feng was reluctant, thinking of the child in her belly, he said, "I'll try to come see you when I have time, and I'll accompany you for your next checkup."

"You're so good." A look of surprise spread across Hong Xiaodan's face as she was about to get up and hug Chen Feng again, but Chen Feng quickly put out his hands to block her.

"Alright, stop thinking about hugging me." Chen Feng frowned at her, "You should understand that I still harbor some grudges against you. I'm Willing to be friends with you is already quite generous, don't push it."

Hong Xiaodan's face immediately turned pitiful at these words, pouting as she unhappily sat back on the edge of the bed.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng felt a bit guilty, of course, mainly because of the baby in her belly.

"Let me listen to the fetal heartbeat."

Chen Feng said as he got up, naturally crouching down in front of her, leaning his ear closer to her belly.

Hong Xiaodan was momentarily stunned, then quickly said with joy, "Wait a moment, I'll lift my shirt."

It was already late September, not very cold yet, just slightly chilly in the morning. She was wearing two layers on top, with a loose maternity wear outside, similar to pajamas.

She directly pulled up the hem of her clothing, revealing a watermelon-sized belly. Round and bulging, wrapped in the long sleeves inside, whose hem was long and loose enough to be worn as a dress.

As she reached to lift the bottom of the long sleeves, Chen Feng quickly stopped her, "That's enough like this."

Having said that, he immediately carefully tilted his head, placing his ear on her bulging belly.

Neither of them spoke again. Chen Feng focused on listening to the fetus's heartbeat while counting silently in his mind.

Meanwhile, Hong Xiaodan looked blissful, watching Chen Feng with gentle eyes, several times wanting to reach out to touch his face but restraining herself.

After listening intently to the fetal heartbeat for about a minute, Chen Feng lifted his ear away and stood up.

With his limited experience, the fetal heartbeat seemed fairly normal.

"The doctor did tell you to count the fetal heartbeats, right?" Chen Feng asked.

"Of course, I have to count them once in the morning, noon, and night every day."

Chen Feng nodded, sat back in the chair, and for a moment didn't know what to say. He did want to leave, but he hadn't been there long enough, leaving now would seem inappropriate.

He had to attend to her emotions.

Eventually, Hong Xiaodan spoke up meekly, "Brother Feng, can we only be friends?"

"What's wrong with being friends?" Chen Feng retorted and then patiently said, "If you were my woman, you might feel satisfied now, but what about in the future? Will you still be content? I doubt it.

Moreover, I will certainly have an official girlfriend in the future, possibly get married, start a family, and have other children. By then, if nothing unexpected happens, I will certainly be loyal to my family and wife, children, and inevitably have to break up with you. Will you be willing to accept that? Surely not.
