When Chen Feng asked this question, he was still a little nervous inside.
The reason is very simple. Shen Lin is different from other women. She is his ex-wife.
From falling in love to getting married to getting divorced, the two lived together seriously for seven or eight years. Can they be like other women?
If they had not divorced and their child was born smoothly, they would be a happy family of three.
As for Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan, although they have given birth to children for him, they still cannot compare with Shen Lin emotionally.
Even if Chen Feng has no plans to remarry Shen Lin, if the two of them really have a child, this child will obviously be more orthodox than Liu Ying's.
This is a purely psychological feeling.
Just like many parents nowadays say that they do not favor sons over daughters, but in fact in the end, they usually let their sons inherit most of their property instead of their daughters.
This is a traditional psychology that has been formed over thousands of years and is difficult to completely change.
Chen Feng also had a similar mentality at this time.
Even though he likes his eldest daughter very much now, if Shen Lin also gives birth to a daughter, there will still be some differences between the two.
He must still like his eldest daughter very much, but he may feel a little more strange about Shen Lin's second daughter.
If Shen Lin gave birth to a son, it goes without saying that the eldest son born to Hong Xiaodan would be even more incomparable.
At this time, facing Chen Feng's inquiry, Shen Lin seemed very calm and smiled and answered:
"I've been wanting to tell you about this for the past two days, but I never knew how to say it. Now that you've asked, I'll tell you. I'm pregnant."
"...really?"
After Chen Feng was stunned for a short time, he realized what he was doing and asked quickly.
What Shen Lin just said was too calm, as if she was talking about an insignificant thing. Chen Feng suddenly suspected that she was joking.
"I'm really pregnant. I'll show you the test report later."
Shen Lin's tone was still calm, but the smile on her face was completely overflowing.
Obviously she was very happy that she could be pregnant with Chen Feng's child, and her face was filled with that kind of happiness.
After Chen Feng confirmed that she was not lying, even though he was mentally prepared, he was completely distracted for a moment.
This feeling is very strange, there is surprise and surprise, but more of it is a sense of unreality.
The two of them had been together for seven or eight years from falling in love to getting married, but they had never had a child. However, almost two years after their divorce, they miraculously became pregnant with a child.
This is not only a trick of fate, but also an unspeakable irony.
But overall, Chen Feng is still very happy.
After all, Shen Lin was the woman he had liked before, and he liked her now. He had been with her for so many years, and even after the divorce, he still had a deep emotional foundation.
It wasn't that they didn't want children back then, but they just didn't have the financial means. Now they have made up for their regrets.
"……good."
Chen Feng was in a complicated mood and wanted to say something, but in the end he only said one word.
Then, he watched Shen Lin working in the kitchen. She looked very skillful in her movements. This was nothing like her before.
Before the divorce, although Shen Lin had cooked before, she was obviously very unfamiliar with it, the food she cooked was not delicious, and she often failed to cook well.
Therefore, after that, Chen Feng basically cooked, or just bought some ready-made dishes and went home to eat.
Obviously, Shen Lin's cooking skills have improved a lot and she has been studying hard.
After a while, Chen Feng finally regained his clarity and immediately stepped forward and said, "Do your parents know? I think it is necessary to ask your mother to take care of you, or hire a reliable nanny."
Shen Lin was very satisfied with Chen Feng's concern, smiled and said: "I haven't told them yet. I went to the hospital just the day before to find out, and I didn't tell you first, so of course I didn't tell them. It's still early. I don’t feel anything at all, so I’ll wait until my belly gets bigger.”
"Then I don't worry about you being alone at home. After all, you are pregnant now. It's better to ask your mother to come over first so that she can take care of you."
"My mother is not very good at taking care of people. Besides, it's not good for my father to be alone at home now that she's here. It's better not to trouble them."
"Then you can ask your parents to come over and live with you. There are rooms anyway."
Shen Lin immediately refused: "I can't stand my mother's nagging."
Chen Feng has lived with her for many years, but he also knows that her relationship with his mother is not very close.
The reason why she wanted to marry Chen Feng even though she had to break up with her parents was that she was not very close to her parents.
So, from this point of view, her parents still failed as parents.
They only have a daughter like Shen Lin, but they are not very close to her.
"Then I'll find you a nanny, otherwise I'll be really worried."
"Okay, find me someone reliable. It's best not to be too old, and of course not too young. The most important thing is to be trustworthy."
Of course it is not difficult to find a nanny, after all, the two of them are not short of money now, but it is difficult to find one who is reliable and trustworthy.
Chen Feng thought for a moment, and there really wasn't any suitable candidate for him, so he asked, "Do you have any suitable candidate yourself?"
"I don't have many friends here in the city. They are basically colleagues. It's better to find them myself if they recommend me. All I can think of is my relatives in my hometown, but after thinking about it, I can't find anyone reliable. My mother is not reliable either. So, it’s up to you to find her."
Seeing this, Chen Feng agreed: "Okay, I'll look for it. If there is really no suitable one, let your parents come and live with you. Now you are the most important in raising and caring for the baby, and put the rest aside first."
"If my parents both live here, what would you do if you come over to visit me? Don't you think it's a little weird?"
I'm sorry Shen Lin also thought of this level.
Thinking about it carefully, if her parents lived here, it would be really inconvenient for Chen Feng to come over to see her, especially when he wanted to talk to her.
Of course, this is just Chen Feng's guess. The main reason may be that she thinks her parents are nagging and controlling her.
"Okay, I'll find a suitable nanny. Anyway, I'll still have to find one after the child is born."
"Well, that's the truth. Just follow the confinement nanny's requirements to find a nanny. As long as it's suitable and trustworthy, the salary can be higher."
"Okay, I understand. Don't cook this dish after you finish cooking it. After all, you are pregnant now and the fumes are bad."
Shen Lin smiled and said: "I'm not as delicate as you think. Those pregnant women are still working even if they are just a few days away from the due date. How long am I now? It's okay, don't worry."
Chen Feng asked again: "Then when do you plan to take maternity leave? Anyway, you are not short of money now, so there is no need to go to work anymore."
Shen Lin shook her head and said: "Why should I not go to work and watch TV and play on my mobile phone at home every day? Besides, I worked very hard to get into my current employer. It would be a pity to leave my job like this. Don't worry, my current employer Everyone here takes good care of me and the work is very easy. Besides, it’s right in front of my house, so it’s convenient to go to work and I’m not tired at all.”
"Then you can't work until you're about to give birth and then take maternity leave, right? Besides, it won't look good if you go to work with a big belly by then, right? After all, everyone knows that you are single now."
Shen Lin said openly: "I might have been embarrassed before, but not anymore. Those in the work unit don't dare to gossip about me."
"Oh, are everyone in your unit afraid of you now?" Chen Feng was a little curious.
When the two of them lived together, Chen Feng often listened to Shen Lin talk about things in their work unit, and there were quite a few gossips among them who liked to gossip about people behind their backs.
"Yeah, isn't this all thanks to you? Ever since the man named Feng was fucked last time, everyone in the unit is afraid of me, and no one including the director dares to speak to me loudly. Now I also I learned from those old fritters to arrive late and leave early, fish in the office, and be very relaxed."
Shen Lin thought that Feng Haitang's sexual intercourse was the result of Chen Feng's behind-the-scenes efforts.
In this regard, Chen Feng would certainly not deny that Shen Lin had such good luck, which was obviously due to his influence.
"Since you still want to go to work, I can't stop you. But when you are three months away from the due date, you should stop going to work, just in case. Anyway, people from public institutions like you can take four or five months off. Maternity leave should be no problem, right?”
"The statutory basic maternity leave is 98 days."
"Ah, so few?"
"I'm talking about basic maternity leave, which is at least 98 days. Policies vary from place to place. For example, in Xiuzhou, the maternity leave for one child is about 150 days, which is equivalent to five months. Of course, this refers to formal enterprises and institutions. .”
"Then what I just said is correct, then you should do as I said and ask for leave three months before the due date. In this way, after confinement, you can take another month or two of rest and go to work again."
"Well, I understand. I won't make fun of myself and the baby in my belly. I might take maternity leave four or five months in advance. It depends on the situation after giving birth. If I need to breastfeed the baby, I will definitely still I have to take a vacation. Let’s see when the time comes.”
Chen Feng felt relieved when he saw that Shen Lin was very clear-headed and had already made plans.
After she finished frying the cauliflower, Chen Feng stopped letting her stir-fry the cauliflower and instead cooked it himself.
It's been a long time since he cooked by himself, but this time he started cooking again.
There was no way, it was just him and Shen Lin here, cooking just one dish would definitely not be enough, and it wouldn't be good to go out to eat.
Chen Feng didn't care, but he couldn't starve Shen Lin and her baby. As a father, of course he had to cook himself, and he had to try his best to cook the food as delicious as possible.
Then Chen Feng cooked crucian carp soup, braised pork ribs and mapo tofu.
Including the cauliflower that Shen Lin cooked before, there are exactly four dishes.
Just the two of them couldn't eat the overcooked dishes, and the four dishes were just right.
The two of them ate and chatted at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Shen Lin also showed him the test report from her hospital, which confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
The topic between the two mainly revolved around the unborn child, including which hospital to go to for examination and delivery, and even which kindergarten and school to attend.
The Rongyuan Building where she lives now is in a very good location. It is considered a school district. There are three kindergartens within six kilometers of it, including two private ones and one public one. There are two elementary schools, one junior high school and two high schools, all of which are public. , are relatively good.
As for the hospital, it is not far from the First Hospital, about three kilometers, which is very close. In addition, Shen Lin also has classmates who are doctors in this hospital, which is always more convenient.
Therefore, she planned to undergo examination and give birth in this hospital.
Chen Feng suggested that she go to the confinement center at least one month in advance. After all, he had previous experience with Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan.
But she was rejected by Shen Lin. She felt it was more comfortable to stay at home. Going to a confinement center would make her feel like she was in a hospital and would be uncomfortable, which would be detrimental to her health and care for the fetus.
When Chen Feng heard this, he didn't force it.
At that time, as long as you hire a reliable nanny, take more care of her, and get regular pregnancy checks, there will basically be no problem.
After eating, the two of them watched TV and chatted until almost nine o'clock. Chen Feng asked her to go back to her room to rest because she was afraid that she would be tired.
After all, Shen Lin was pregnant, so she didn't try to be pushy and just followed the rules. She said she would take a bath first, and after she went to bed, she would let Chen Feng stay with her for another half hour.
Of course Chen Feng agreed.
Shen Lin is now pregnant, and she is still in the first trimester. For the safety of the fetus, of course neither of them dares to do what they love to do.
After Shen Lin took a shower, the two of them lay on the bed. Chen Feng just held her in his arms with one hand and continued chatting quietly with her, without even touching her, let alone doing other things.
At the same time, at home in Zijinyuan, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui were watching TV together.
During the commercial break, Wu Mengting looked at her phone and saw that it was already half past nine, but Chen Feng hadn't come back yet. She felt a little resentful, so she asked Sun Xiaorui next to her: "Do you know where my brother has gone?"
Sun Xiaorui shook her head honestly, saying she didn't know.
She really didn't know that in the sister alliance group, Liu Ying asked Sun Xiaorui if Chen Feng was at home. Sun Xiaorui said no. Liu Ying asked other people if they were with Chen Feng, but they all got negative answers.
Chen Feng did not go home, nor did he go to find other sisters in the group. Sun Xiaorui guessed that Chen Feng probably went to find his ex-wife Shen Lin, or as Wu Mengting told her today, Chen Feng's high school female classmate.
Of course, she would not tell Wu Mengting her speculation.
"Then do you think he is with that female high school classmate now? Or with Shen Lin?"
Sun Xiaorui could guess it, and Wu Mengting could certainly guess it too.
"I don't know." Sun Xiaorui shook his head again.
"You, really, can't you help me keep an eye on my brother more?"
Wu Mengting gave her a somewhat complaining look.
"I can't see him either." Sun Xiaorui said innocently, "If you really want to know where he is, just ask him directly."
"It's not like you don't know that he hates me the most about controlling him and restraining him, let alone checking on him at any time."
"Then don't think too much about it. Anyway, he is so romantic now, and you can't make up your mind to break up with him, so you can only look away and don't think about it."
Wu Mengting shook her head and sighed: "I looked away, but I still couldn't help but think about it. It's impossible not to think about it, especially when I think about him being with his ex-wife, I feel very uneasy."
"Are you worried that if he gets together with his ex-wife, the old relationship will rekindle and he will get married again?"
"Aren't you worried?"
"Of course I'm worried, but it's useless for me to worry. It's better to look at it more calmly. Anyway, if I live with him for one more day, I will make money."
"Then you are really thinking about it."
Wu Mengting admired her good attitude from the bottom of her heart, but at the same time, she was inevitably a little disdainful. Sun Xiaorui was too humble in front of Chen Feng, too resigned, and had no ambition or resistance at all.
But obviously this is also the main reason why Wu Mengting can tolerate her.
After a while, Wu Mengting suddenly said: "I'd better call Shen Lin directly."
