Liu ijun asked curiously, "You don’t like ngting? She’s so beautiful, and she’s also a top graduate from East Sea University, a perfect blend of beauty and brains, with a great personality. If I were a man, I’d definitely be attracted to her too."
Chen Feng explained, "It’s not that I don’t like her; I just don’t want to marry her right now."
Liu ijun scoffed, "You an you don’t want to marry her, but you want to keep stringing her along."
Chen Feng nodded without guilt, "That’s right. In the future, if I decide to get married, she’d definitely be my first choice for a wife."
Liu ijun laughed coldly, "Who knows what the future holds? Maybe you’ll et soone better or more suited to your taste, and then you’ll exclude her."
"How could that be?" Chen Feng retorted, "I actually like her a lot, it’s just that I haven’t recovered from my previous failed marriage yet. I’m quite resistant to getting married again now. But in the future, I do want to get married, and she’d probably be the one."
"Probably her? Even you can’t be 100% sure." Liu ijun teased unceremoniously, "You n, not a single one is not a playboy."
Chen Feng chuckled bitterly, "Okay, okay, you’re right, it’s hard to say for sure about the future. Do you have any way to temporarily postpone the marriage?"
Liu ijun rolled her eyes at him, and instead of answering imdiately, she refilled her tea before leisurely saying, "You’ll need to communicate with ngting about this. If you want to delay the wedding, you need to persuade her, or you need to find a way to convince your parents."
Chen Feng shook his head, "It’s hard to convince my parents. And with ngting, it’s also tough; she’s been wanting to make it official with for a while."
Liu ijun asked disdainfully, "So, are you saying she chased after you?"
Chen Feng nodded earnestly, "Yes, she chased after . I rejected her several tis, but she never gave up and kept clinging to ."
Hearing this, Liu ijun involuntarily twitched her lips. She truly couldn’t see what made Chen Feng worth soone like Wu ngting, such a beauty, to chase. She wanted to call him out on bragging, but it didn’t seem like he was lying.
"Since she’s always been chasing you, you don’t need to worry that she’ll leave you if you delay the wedding. You can find a way that she’ll accept." Liu ijun suggested matter-of-factly.
Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Chen Feng asked her, "How have you been lately? Besides work, have you thought about finding a good-looking young man to date?"
"I’m not like you, and I’m not one of those won who go bad when they have money. I think being alone is nice, free and easy."
Chen Feng shook his head with a smile, "I think you’re too old-fashioned. What era is it now? You’ve been single for years after your divorce. Even if you weren’t single, it’s not uncommon for rich ladies like you to secretly have a toy boy or young man. Of course, I’m not suggesting you throw money around recklessly, but that you spend money to find a companion. Or more seriously, you could go on blind dates or have friends introduce you to soone to date genuinely."
Liu ijun shook her head with a bitter smile, "At my age, what am I doing talking about dating? Besides, if Little Rou knew I was dating or had soone, she’d definitely go crazy. She’s been very sensitive since she was a kid, otherwise, I would have found soone in those first few years after my divorce."
"She’s grown up, hasn’t she? Would she still oppose you finding your own happiness?"
"I don’t know. While she may be grown, she’s actually not that old, still not an adult yet."
"Ask her what she thinks when you visit her in Beautiful Country this ti. You can’t just be lonely forever. Your ex-husband remarried ages ago, and you’re still single all this ti. Don’t you feel like you’re losing out?"
"What’s there to lose? I simply don’t want to find soone else."
"Alright, if you really plan to be an old spinster, I won’t persuade you anymore."
...
After chatting aimlessly about this and that in the tearoom for nearly two hours and finishing an entire pot of tea, they finally got up to leave. Liu ijun was a VIP at this teahouse and had her bill settled through the system automatically, so Chen Feng once again enjoyed a free pot of tea.
After leaving the teahouse, Liu ijun said, "Since it’s not office hours yet, let take you to the company."
"For what?" Chen Feng asked, a bit puzzled.
"So you, the co-owner, can show your face at the company, and the new employees can get to know you. Otherwise, they won’t know who you are."
Chen Feng didn’t want to go. He looked at his phone; it was a little past four in the afternoon, so he said, "It’s almost off work, I won’t go."
Just as Liu ijun was about to say sothing more, two people approached from behind her: a woman in her forties, dressed like a wealthy lady, and a tall, slender, fair-skinned, handso young man in his twenties.
"ijun, what a coincidence. Have you finally co to your senses?"
The rich lady greeted Liu ijun and glanced back and forth between Liu ijun and Chen Feng, finally fixing her gaze on Chen Feng, scrutinizing him with a playful smile.
Liu ijun frowned slightly when she saw this woman and didn’t respond to her remarks. Instead, she just called out to Chen Feng, "Let’s go."
When she turned to leave, the rich lady blocked her way.
"ijun, we’re old classmates and friends, it’s quite rude to leave without introducing this... handso guy beside you."
Liu ijun, looking displeased, clearly had so issue with this woman but still briefly introduced Chen Feng, "He’s a shareholder in my company."
"Oh, so it’s that planning company you’ve been working hard to support. I heard you’re the only shareholder besides him, and he’s this handso gentleman, huh?"
As she said this, the rich lady took another good look at Chen Feng, and with a smirk, said, "ijun, I must say, you’ve got a good eye. I heard you kicked out other shareholders to bring in this young and handso one. Haha, you’re taking advantage of proximity..."
"Enough, Sun Yanhong, have so decency." Liu ijun interrupted her and clarified, "I’m completely aboveboard with him, not the kind of relationship your filthy mind is thinking of."
"You’re the one with a filthy mind," Sun Yanhong snapped back, her face dropping imdiately, "You’re just pretending to be virtuous. I can’t believe you’ve been divorced for so many years and haven’t fooled around. Pretending to be pure and noble makes sick."
Liu ijun was furious and shouted back, "You’re the one spouting nonsense, just because you reek doesn’t an everyone else is like you."
"You’re the one reeking," Sun Yanhong imdiately retorted, "Today I’m wearing a limited edition Chanel perfu, which slls far better than you, an old hypocrite about to go through nopause."
"I can’t be bothered to argue with you, an obnoxious old woman."
Liu ijun, with a sullen face, pushed Sun Yanhong aside and walked straight ahead.
