After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1134 - 598: Macho Man

As soon as Chen Feng left, Hong Xiaodan called Liu Ying over video chat.

Once connected, Hong Xiaodan excitedly said: "It worked, he agreed to come and accompany me more often."

Liu Ying was also happy to hear this: "Congratulations, now you don't have to be so anxious all the time. Take care of yourself and ensure that the baby inside you is healthy, that's the most important thing."

"Yes, I know. Thank you so much this time. Once the baby is born, I will have them recognize you as godmother. If you're willing, your child can also call me godmother."

Becoming a godmother was something Hong Xiaodan had considered before, but it wasn't appropriate to do so when things with Chen Feng hadn't settled.

Now, even though she and Chen Feng hadn't officially confirmed their relationship, it was close enough in her eyes.

Moreover, she needed to stand by Liu Ying in the future, so strengthening their bond was very important.

"That's great, I was also thinking of having my child recognize you as godmother after they're born. We really are on the same page."

"Then it's settled."

"Yes, settled."

The two shared a mutual understanding and laughed together.

"Sister Ying, what should I do next to make him officially accept me?"

After the laughter, Hong Xiaodan asked Liu Ying anxiously.

"That depends on you. You have to captivate him yourself. I can say a lot, but the actual effort has to come from you."

"He still has some reservations about me. When I try to get closer to him, he resists, only willing to hug at most," Hong Xiaodan said, feeling a bit wronged.

Liu Ying inwardly rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that if he's willing to hug you, what more do you want?

But she comforted her by saying: "Take it slow. Now that he's agreed to see you often and is willing to hug you, that's a big improvement already."

Hong Xiaodan said worriedly: "That's true, but you know he's mostly accommodating me because of the baby. I'm afraid he won't care about me once the baby is born."

Liu Ying thought for a moment and said: "You still have a few months before giving birth, right? Use this time to win him over. I believe in your capability."

Hong Xiaodan smiled wryly: "I'm heavily pregnant now, can't even put on makeup, what capability do I have? He already has beautiful women around him like Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui. I've always been confident, but compared to them, my advantages aren't as apparent."

Liu Ying wanted to say that her biggest advantage was her wealthy family, but she knew that wouldn't count for much with Chen Feng, and might even be a disadvantage.

"You don't need to compare yourself to them, just focus on winning Chen Feng over. Previously, he didn't come around much, so you didn't have the chance, but now he's agreed to see you often, you have plenty of opportunities. As long as you plan carefully and proceed gradually, I'm sure Chen Feng will be moved and you'll win him over."

"Sis, can you tell me how you won him over back then?" Hong Xiaodan asked with a face full of curiosity.

Liu Ying was reluctant to talk about her past with Chen Feng, but considering they called each other sisters now and were both going to be godmothers to each other's children, and mostly because Hong Xiaodan had been completely honest about her situation with Chen Feng, including the negotiations and outcomes between their families.

Hong Xiaodan had opened her heart entirely to Liu Ying, without holding back.

After a brief hesitation, Liu Ying said: "You know, he and I were classmates for four years at university, and he liked me from the first year and pursued me. But later, because of a classmate, a guy who was also my suitor, we misunderstood each other and missed out on each other."

She paused, letting out a soft sigh. Although many years had passed and she was back with Chen Feng now, whenever she thought about those earlier days in college and her previous unhappy marriage, her heart filled with regret, remorse, and anger.

If Cao Jun hadn't interfered back in the first year, making her misunderstand Chen Feng, she might have accepted his pursuit. They might have become a couple, married after college, and possibly had two or three kids by now, without any other woman in the picture.

"That's really unfortunate." Hong Xiaodan sighed along with her and then asked, "How did you and he end up together later on?"

Hong Xiaodan roughly knew that Liu Ying had married a foreigner back then and heard they had a child, but she wasn't clear about the details.

This was a question Liu Ying definitely couldn't answer honestly—that she had pursued him after learning he became rich, reaching out to meet and reminisce.

"Let's just say fate works in mysterious ways. I divorced last year and returned to Xiu Zhou, heard about Chen Feng from our college friends. After all these years, thinking about how I misunderstood him and said some harsh words, I felt guilty and wanted to invite him out to formally apologize."

Hong Xiaodan, deeply engaged in the story, immediately asked: "Did you get together like fire and wood when you met?"

A trace of discomfort flashed across Liu Ying's face, but she pressed on: "It's not exactly like that. You might not know, but Chen Feng is actually a very masculine guy at heart. When I apologized, he said verbal apologies weren't sincere, then gave me a mischievous smile. I might have drunk too much, and over the years, I've still had some feelings for him. Plus, we were both divorced and single, so we ended up getting together muddle-headedly."
