After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Lin Mengchuan was thoroughly scolded by Shen Qinglan and was too embarrassed to sit down any longer.

He dared not say anything more, got up to pay the bill, and left.

After Lin Mengchuan left the coffee shop, Qi Muci slowly got up, took his coffee, and sat down opposite his mother.

He looked at Shen Qinglan with a smile, "Mom, you don't give me a chance to appear at all."

Shen Qinglan glanced at her son with a smile, "I'm enough to deal with this kind of person. This Meng Chuan really is worthy of being my sister's son. The two of them are just as cunning."

"Given their personality, they'll probably continue to gossip about us in the future. Mu Ci, let me remind you, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust. You have to trust Qiao Ran."

"Whether it's Qingzhu and her son or others, don't easily believe those who slander Qiao Ran. As the saying goes, a kind person is often bullied."

"Qiao Ran is kind-hearted and doesn't compete with others, which is why those people dare to bully her and step on her head."

Qi Muci's eyes shone brightly. "Mom, don't worry, I won't let anyone bully my wife. Let's wait a while longer, and after the Spring Festival, we'll announce our marriage."

Shen Qinglan agreed, "Qiao Ran has been divorced for more than half a year, and it's about time. It's good to announce it so that Meng Chuan can give up."

Qi Muci chatted with Shen Qinglan for another ten minutes or so, revealing his and Qiao Ran's plans to conceive.

Shen Qinglan was overjoyed; she had finally been waiting to hold her grandson.

She reminded Qi Muci that it would be best to have some physical examinations with Qiao Ran before trying to conceive, and that Qiao Ran should also take folic acid.

Qi Muci had no idea that there were so many things to consider when preparing for pregnancy, so she asked her mother for help and guidance.

Shen Qinglan immediately called the director of a private hospital she knew and made an appointment for her son and daughter-in-law to have a physical examination the next morning.

Qi Muci called to ask Qiao Ran for her opinion.

Qiao Ran had already planned to get a medical check-up, and when she heard that her mother-in-law would help arrange it, saving her a lot of trouble, she happily agreed.

After agreeing to meet at the entrance of the private hospital at eight o'clock the next morning, Qi Muci drove his mother home.

On the other side, Lin Mengchuan had just stepped into the office when his phone rang.

Seeing that it was Lin Fei calling, his already depressed mood became even more irritable, and his tone on the phone was not very good, "What? Didn't I tell you not to call me casually?"

Lin Fei was already used to Lin Mengchuan's attitude and had expected it, so he patiently explained, "Mengchuan, I'm sorry, I wouldn't bother you if I wasn't forced to."

"To make a long story short, here's the thing: my prenatal doctor wants to meet the baby's father. Our baby will be born in about two weeks, and the doctor wants to talk to you about the delivery process."

Lin Mengchuan frowned. "You want to talk to me about childbirth? Are you pregnant or am I? Also, Lin Fei, didn't you tell the doctor that we're not husband and wife?"

Lin Fei pretended to be in a difficult position, "I told you, but the doctor insists on seeing you because the doctor said the baby is growing very well and is big, and recommends that we have a C-section. You will need to sign the consent form then."

"Meng Chuan, please, it's the final moment. You want me to be able to give birth to the baby safely, right?"

Lin Mengchuan thought that once the child was born, he could take the child home and hand it over to his mother, Shen Qingzhu, to raise. He would then give Lin Fei some money so she could leave, and the matter between the two of them would be over.

This matter has weighed on him for so long, and now that victory is within reach, he should indeed cooperate with Lin Fei.

So he replied, "Send the time and place to my phone, but I need to make it clear that it doesn't take up too much of my time."

Lin Fei was overjoyed. "It won't take up too much of your time, thank you, Meng Chuan."

Seeing that her daughter had hung up the phone, Cai Lianfang leaned over and asked, "How did it go? Did Meng Chuan agree to go with you to your prenatal checkup?"

Lin Fei was very pleased with himself and said, "I agree."

Cai Lianfang grinned, "I already told you, he still cares about his child. I've already had someone calculate it, and it's definitely going to be a son for you. Remember, once the baby is born, you must insist on breastfeeding."

"That way they won't be able to separate you from the child. If they want to take the child away, they have to take you with them. Then you can marry into the Lin family because of your child."

A hint of unease flashed in Lin Fei's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. "Mom, is everything in my hospital bag ready? Could you check if anything is missing?"

Cai Lianfang: "Okay, I'll go check again. You lie down for a while. I've warmed up some soup for you. Call me when you've rested, and I'll bring you the soup."

Lin Fei pouted, "I'd better not drink it. The doctor said the baby is very big and told me to control my diet."

Cai Lianfang didn't take it seriously. "What's there to be afraid of? You'll have a C-section in half a month. In just half a month, how much more can the baby grow? Besides, isn't it good if the baby is big? It means the baby is healthy."

After Cai Lianfang left, Lin Fei picked up his phone and searched for news about Qiao Ran.

This is one of her habits.

I search for news about Qiao Ran every day.

Lin Fei squinted at her for a while, then muttered to himself, "Qiao Ran, I didn't expect you to actually be able to turn things around. I really underestimated you; someone is actually willing to hire you to act in a movie."

"But even if you can make a comeback, so what? You'll always be a divorced woman abandoned by a wealthy family. No man would want to marry a divorced woman."

"As for me, I will soon be able to marry Meng Chuan because of my child. You can only blame yourself for being stupid. If you had taken the initiative and gotten pregnant, you wouldn't be in this situation today."

"What good is it if you do well in the entertainment industry? For a woman, marriage is the most important thing. Only a happy marriage can be considered a success. So, in the end, you still lost to me."

-

The next morning, Lin Fei asked Lin Mengchuan to pick her up and take her to the hospital, claiming she couldn't get a taxi.

Lin Mengchuan was unhappy, but he still went to pick up Lin Fei.

When the two arrived at the hospital parking lot, they happened to run into Qi Muci and Qiao Ran getting out of their car.

Their eyes met, and both were somewhat surprised.

Lin Fei deliberately sticking out her large pregnant belly to greet Qiao Ran, "Ranran, what a coincidence! Are you also here for a medical appointment? Are you feeling unwell? Or is Mr. Qi feeling unwell?"

“We are here for a prenatal checkup. My baby will be born in two weeks. Meng Chuan and I are both very nervous because we are both first-time parents. Fortunately, the doctors at this hospital are good.”

Lin Mengchuan's face fell. He glared at Lin Fei and walked away.

He was incredibly frustrated. How could it be such a coincidence that he had to run into Qiao Ran?

Now Qiao Ran is going to misunderstand him again.

Qiao Ran glanced at Lin Mengchuan's back, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and reminded Lin Fei, "If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with your child's father."

Lin Mengchuan's behavior made Lin Fei lose face. She smiled awkwardly and said, "He's impatient. I'll be going now."

Qi Muci looked at Qiao Ran and asked in a low voice, "Should we come another day?"

Qiao Ran raised an eyebrow: "Why do we have to change the date? They didn't seem embarrassed at all, so why should I hide? I'm going to give them red envelopes when Lin Fei gives birth."

Seeing that Qiao Ran didn't care, Qi Muci didn't mind either. "Okay, let's go inside and find my mom."
