After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1355 - 704: President Guo Takes Action

Chen Feng’s words left Zhao Xiaolan unable to refute, and she asked skeptically, "You’re really not lying to me?""Of course I’m not lying to you," Chen Feng said with certainty, "Mom, this matter is absolutely true. Otherwise, I wouldn’t think of delaying the engagement; after all, I really like Mengting."

"Aren’t you afraid that after getting engaged, you’d lose your freedom and can’t mess around with other women?" Zhao Xiaolan questioned again.

"Of course not." Chen Feng immediately denied, "Mengting is quite good. If she’s truly willing to marry me, I’d be over the moon. But that fortune teller’s prediction was so accurate, I can’t help but believe it. If I really get engaged to her and my bad luck starts, maybe we won’t last long. To be safe, it’s better to delay a bit, preferably until I’m past 32. Nowadays, there are so many people getting married in their thirties, even if I get married at 33, it’s not too late."

"Then why did you get married so early last time?"

Leave it to his own mother to rub salt into her son’s wounds.

Chen Feng couldn’t get angry; instead, he had to smile and say, "Didn’t I learn from my mistakes? It’s exactly because of the painful lesson from last time that I’m being so cautious this time. Mom, you don’t want me to repeat the same mistake and not have a lasting relationship with Mengting, right?"

"Spare me your nonsense! I’ll tell you, don’t think just because you have some money you can act all high and mighty and go astray, messing around outside. Mengting is such a good girl and likes you; it’s your fortune for several lifetimes. You should cherish her, be devoted to her, and cut off ties with other women."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you’re right. I’ve already deeply realized my mistake. This time, I’ll sincerely apologize to her and assure her that after we get married, I’ll mend my ways, be devoted to her..."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Xiaolan immediately interrupted, questioning loudly, "Why can’t you mend your ways now?"

"Isn’t it because I’m not yet engaged or married to Mengting? Besides, I also need enough time to settle things with the other women, right?"

"You... you really want to drive me mad. Do you think Mengting will agree to this?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve already discussed it with her, including the situation with the two pregnant women on my side. She’s aware of everything."

Zhao Xiaolan was taken aback and quickly asked, "She confronted you?"

"I wouldn’t call it a confrontation; it’s more like we had an open and honest talk. I originally thought she’d give up on me, but unexpectedly, she’s still willing to marry me. I’m quite touched."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan let out a huge sigh of relief, but then her anger flared up as she sternly questioned, "Tell me, what’s up with that woman named Liu Ying? How did she end up pregnant too?"

This had been weighing on her mind for a long time; she only held back due to a promise made to Wu Mengting, which is why she hadn’t immediately contacted her son.

Now hearing that her son had already discussed this with Wu Mengting, she felt no more reservations.

Chen Feng, of course, didn’t hide anything from his mother and explained briefly, "She’s a college classmate. She was divorced before, and after a long time apart, we got close again. Then unexpectedly, she got pregnant."

"Tell me, what is all this? You’re not even married yet, and you already have two kids, and neither is Tingting’s. How do you think she won’t be angry?"

Chen Feng quickly replied, "Mengting is not angry anymore. Like I said earlier, I’ve sincerely apologized, and she has forgiven me."

"She forgave you so easily?"

Zhao Xiaolan found it hard to believe. Though she knew Wu Mengting liked her son a lot and was very tolerant of him, having two different women pregnant because of him was a big issue.

As a woman herself, Zhao Xiaolan knew she couldn’t forgive her partner if he did something like that. It was a matter of principle.

Therefore, when Wu Mengting cried to her earlier, she apologized and asked for forgiveness on behalf of her son without much confidence.

She was really worried that Wu Mengting would eventually break up with her son.

Now hearing her son say that Wu Mengting has already forgiven him, she was understandably skeptical.

Chen Feng said, "She has forgiven me, but I wouldn’t say it was easy. I did pay a certain price."

"What price?"

"The price of marriage."

"What kind of price is that? Her being willing to marry you is a blessing you’ve accumulated over eight lifetimes."

"That’s true, but I wasn’t necessarily determined to marry only her initially."

"What? You think she’s not good enough for you?"

"Not that, but I initially didn’t plan on getting engaged or married at all, wanted to have some fun for a couple more years."

"You little brat, you’re already thirty and still want to have more fun. Are you planning to wait until you’re forty to get married? Are you trying to become a lifelong bachelor or what?"

"Mom, when I was poor, I wasn’t ever single, let alone now that I’ve got some money. How could I possibly end up without a partner?"

"In my opinion, being unmarried and without a wife and kids means being single."

Okay! Chen Feng wisely decided not to argue with his mom but bring the conversation back on track: "In short, Mengting has forgiven me. So, you don’t have to worry anymore, but to avoid any bad luck, I hope to delay the wedding for another two years."

"Will Tingting agree to the delay?" Zhao Xiaolan asked hesitantly.
