Luo Qingchao was both angry and unwilling, but more than that, he felt resigned.
As an experienced player in the field of love, he was now one hundred percent certain that Shen Lin still loved her ex-husband. Her previous statents about regretting their divorce were completely genuine.
A woman with her heart set on soone else, and with years of working experience and rich social life, is not easy to deceive or coax.
Moreover, she doesn't seem to be materialistic, which makes things even harder.
Previously, any woman he t on a blind date, upon learning of his identity as the vice president of a listed company, was smitten with him. Even if they pretended to be reserved initially, after a few dates and with him showing off his financial prowess and insight a little, they would easily fall for him.
Nowadays, won, especially those going on blind dates, are very realistic and quite materialistic.
Before, whenever he went on a date, he only needed to show a glimpse of the million-dollar Patek Philippe on his wrist, and even if not every woman would throw themselves at him, most would look at him with shining eyes, their feelings stirred, cooperating obediently with his advances.
But Shen Lin turned out to be an exception, which made her all the more precious and hard to give up.
When he finally settled the bill and was about to pursue her, Yu Xiaohui happened to erge from the private room, holding that bouquet of blue hyacinths.
So, Luo Qingchao paused and didn't imdiately pursue, intentionally waiting for Yu Xiaohui to approach, then walking alongside her, naturally inquiring, "How should I address the beautiful lady?"
Yu Xiaohui glanced at him with slight wariness, hesitated for a mont, then still gave her na, "Yu Xiaohui."
"Can I add you on WeChat?" Ti was too tight, Luo Qingchao still had to chase after Shen Lin, so he skipped the formalities, quickly pulling out his phone to open his WeChat profile and handed it to her, speaking earnestly, his expression sincere.
Typically, when a man as handso and well-off as he initiated adding soone as a friend, out of politeness, won would accept.
But unfortunately, Yu Xiaohui clearly didn't give him face, directly shaking her head in refusal, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, she hastened her steps towards the restaurant exit.
Luo Qingchao didn't expect to be rejected and was montarily stunned. When he wanted to chase after her again, Yu Xiaohui had already walked out of the restaurant door.
Outside the restaurant's door was an open-air parking lot where everyone's cars were parked. It was clearly inappropriate for Luo Qingchao to attempt adding Yu Xiaohui again, especially under the eyes of Shen Lin.
...
"I want to talk to you about sothing, is that okay?"
After leaving the restaurant, Shen Lin kept following Chen Feng and then said this.
"What is it?"
Chen Feng countered, but kept walking towards his car.
Shen Lin kept pace with him, saying, "It's about the money you gave last ti."
Chen Feng stopped, frowning as he looked at her, "Do you think it's too little?"
Shen Lin hastily shook her head, "Of course not, it's just too much. I can't accept it."
"So, you want to return it to ?" Chen Feng looked at her with a teasing smile. Knowing her for so many years and having been married, Chen Feng naturally understood Shen Lin's personality.
Though she wasn't materialistic, she valued money greatly. Otherwise, after their marriage, she wouldn't have insisted on Chen Feng handing over all his earnings to cover all the household expenses. Even when his salary was insufficient for daily expenses, she never relented, instead of pushing Chen Feng to borrow money from his parents.
Her own earnings were basically spent on herself. She did contribute to the household, but certainly not much.
So, the million Chen Feng gave her was sothing he thought she wouldn't be willing to return. Besides, if she wanted to return it, she knew his bank account, she could transfer it back to him anyti.
There was no necessity to wait until now to ntion it.
Just as he thought, Shen Lin awkwardly replied, "The money you gave, personally I don't want it, but my parents won't agree. They said if I don't want it, I can use it for their retirent since I am their only daughter. So, the matter was dragged on. eting you today, I suddenly feel that you gave too much. Can I return half of it to you?"
Chen Feng watched her for a while, unsure of her intentions, and didn't bother to guess as he didn't want any more entanglents with her or her parents, so he directly shook his head and said, "Let it be. Your parents are right, they only have you as a daughter, and raising you wasn't easy. If you don't want the money, you can give it to them for retirent, as a form of filial piety. Besides, I'm not missing that fifty thousand."
Shen Lin frowned, "But I can't feel at ease holding onto your money. It feels like charity from you."
"You're overthinking. If it was charity, I wouldn't have given you that much. To be honest, there were tis of mutual shortcomings between us, but I owed you more for sure. The money I gave you is a form of compensation. As long as you don't find it insufficient, it's fine."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Shen Lin's eyes suddenly brimd with tears, and she said with guilt, "I've been a bit selfish in the past…"
Just when Shen Lin was building up her emotions and tears, Lou Xiaojiao, not far behind them, untily intervened, calling out, "Chen Feng, are you coming?"
Her voice instantly shattered the ambiance they had inadvertently created.
Shen Lin almost wanted to turn around and smack her.
Chen Feng also frowned slightly, displeased, "Why do you care? You can leave if you want."
Lou Xiaojiao pouted, "You're still chatting so much with your ex-wife, it's really sothing. If you have this much to say, why did you get divorced in the first place?"
Chen Feng impatiently waved at her, "You really talk a lot and love minding other people's business, go cool off sowhere else?"
Lou Xiaojiao grumbled, "You're really not nice. What, am I an eyesore as a third wheel?"
Chen Feng didn't want to argue with Lou Xiaojiao and turned to Shen Lin, "The past is gone, you should look forward. It's good that you're willing to go on blind dates now. After all, you're still young and might find soone almost as good as . You should treat him well then."
Hearing this, Shen Lin's tears finally spilled, and she choked out, "I think it's hard to et soone like you again…"
While Shen Lin was full of emotions, preparing to speak another sincere word, Lou Xiaojiao's annoying voice interrupted again, "Xiao Hui! Over here!"
Lou Xiaojiao deliberately shouted loudly towards Yu Xiaohui. Actually, without her shout, Yu Xiaohui had already noticed them.
This ti, Shen Lin couldn't hold back, and she glared at mischievous Lou Xiaojiao with murderous eyes.
Lou Xiaojiao, acting oblivious to her murderous gaze, turned to Chen Feng and said, "Chen Feng, Xiao Hui will ride back with you. I have other places to go."
