After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 70: Chapter 67: Empty, Lonely, and Cold

Chen Feng didn’t rush to move to Red Villa Bay to live, mainly because it was meaningless to live there alone now.

Moreover, the small villa he had rented before was quite nice, closer to East Lake, more convenient for walking outside, and a bit livelier.

Frankly speaking, in terms of location, the currently rented small villa was even better.

The reason he bought the villa at Red Villa Bay wasn’t necessarily to live in it himself but was more about sentiment, a wish.

Now that he had successfully purchased the villa, the wish he had long harbored had been fulfilled, and he suddenly felt a sage-like calm after the initial fervor.

He remembered how he and Shen Lin had obsessively longed for a house in Red Villa Bay and had eventually sadly accepted the reality that they would never afford it in their lifetimes.

Now that he could afford it, everything had already changed, and nothing was the same.

He had arranged to meet with Xiao Ya in two days to collect the property deed and handle the related procedures at the property management office.

Then, he returned to the rented villa, continuing his solitary life.

Without Sun Xiaorui’s company, he suddenly felt uncomfortable adapting, even though they had only spent a few days together.

Firstly, there was the issue of meals. With Sun Xiaorui there, she would take care of three meals a day, and he just had to eat what’s been prepared.

Then there was the absence of company. For a divorced man, especially one without a child, the initial hardest part was enduring the loneliness and solitude, both physically and psychologically.

For the physical aspect, there were quite a few substitutes available, but psychologically it was more difficult to handle. Even chatting online through various social media apps or engaging in online romances, it was hard to dispel the psychological emptiness and loneliness.

Chen Feng was relatively fortunate; he struck it rich just a few days after his divorce, finding himself a companion.

But it’s easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and hard the other way around; now that Sun Xiaorui was gone, he felt uncomfortable with life.

At home alone, he felt the space was desolate, the surrounding air seemed saturated with loneliness, especially prominent within this two-story villa. It might be a bit better if he were in a single-room apartment.

Chen Feng could only turn on the TV and raise the volume loud, so the room seemed a bit more lively.

While keeping the TV on without watching, Chen Feng took out his phone to scroll through short videos, ordering takeout whenever he felt hungry.

While waiting for the takeout, Chen Feng received a WeChat message from Wu Mengting, asking if he was free the day after tomorrow.

Chen Feng guessed it was about their house moving, so he replied, "I am."

Wu Mengting promptly sent a message: [There is an open-air performance at the Grand Theater the day after tomorrow. I’ve heard it’s quite spectacular, would you like to join us to watch it?]

Seeing this, Chen Feng was taken aback. He had thought it was about moving house, not going to a performance.

Chen Feng instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he recalled how he had tried every means to escape fate’s manipulation last time, and still couldn’t evade it, and also how he hadn’t ever gone to see a performance at the Grand Theater despite being grown up.

As a result, he hesitated only a few seconds before replying with a "Sure."

[Great, I’ll contact you then, six o’clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, I’ll come to pick you up.]

Chen Feng didn’t want to reveal his address and immediately responded: [No need to pick me up, I’ll go there myself, let’s just meet at the Grand Theater.]

A few seconds later, Wu Mengting sent: [Alright then.]

Chen Feng saw this and didn’t bother her anymore.

It seemed as though fate was still attempting to match him with Wu Mengting, and Chen Feng understood that it would be difficult to break free from this, but he believed he could stay clear-headed, act on emotion but stop at propriety, not doing anything that would wrong her.

Putting this issue aside for now, he continued to scroll through short videos.

Time passed quickly, and his takeout arrived.

He picked up the takeout at the door and sat down to eat, barely taking a few bites before his phone rang.

Chen Feng picked it up and saw it was from Sun Xiaorui.

He answered right away, asking with concern, "Little Rui, what’s the matter?"

"Brother Feng, the doctor recommends that my father undergo surgery, but my mom and I don’t know if we should proceed," Sun Xiaorui said, sounding somewhat helpless.

Chen Feng asked calmly, "Which hospital is your dad in now? How is that hospital’s medical standard for treating cerebral infarction?"

Sun Xiaorui replied, "It’s a hospital in our city, one of the top ones here."

"Have you asked the doctor, if you go through with the surgery, what is the success rate?"

"The doctor wouldn’t make any guarantees. He only said that with my dad’s current condition, it’s best to have the surgery, otherwise he’s very likely to suffer from paralysis or even more life-threatening issues."

"Can you move your dad to another hospital now?"

"My dad is conscious now and can stand up, so it should be possible to transfer him."

"Then simply transfer to a better hospital, to the province, or directly to Shanghai or Beijing, wherever the treatment for cerebral infarction is superior."

"If we go out of town, I’m worried about the insurance coverage. Many expenses will have to be paid out of pocket."

"I’ll transfer 500,000 yuan to you for now, we’ll talk more if it’s not enough."

Chen Feng was straightforward, having anticipated this during her phone call.

Although she had only been with him for a few days, and he had already given her the money she deserved, their time together was pleasant, and more importantly, money was not an issue for him now, he was ready to save her father’s life – a few hundred thousand yuan didn’t count for much to Chen Feng.

"Brother Feng... I, I don’t know how to thank you," said Sun Xiaorui, her voice choked with emotion.

"Let’s talk thanks when you return. That’s all for now; I’m in the middle of eating. I’ll transfer the money to you later, just send me your bank account info on WeChat."

"Okay, Brother Feng. This money, consider it a loan from you. Later, we can deduct it from my... salary."

"Haha, let’s talk about that when you come back. Anyway, so long as you’re with me, I definitely won’t let you down."
