It felt ironic that after their divorce, Chen Feng had accomplished all of this, but the woman by his side was not Shen Lin.
Before it was Sun Xiaorui, followed by Xiao Ya, and now the nominal official girlfriend Wu ngting.
Today, the two who once swore their eternal love to each other encountered each other unexpectedly here.
Even though they had parted less than two months ago, it felt as if a lifeti had passed.
Shen Lin had co with her colleagues from her departnt, four people in all, including her, two n and two won.
Among them, Tang Yue and Kong Tianlu, who got along well with him, were a couple; both around 25 or 26 years old, locals from Xiu Zhou, high school classmates, they even attended the sa university and studied the sa major. After graduation, they joined the sa workplace and beca colleagues.
Of course, this might have sothing to do with the fact that Kong Tianlu’s uncle was the head of the departnt.
The couple married last year, with the bride bringing a 120 square ter apartnt as part of her dowry, and now they were actively trying to have children, provoking envy in everyone.
The other was Yuan Dawei, a 31-year-old departnt head, divorced for two years, with custody of a daughter given to his ex-wife, but he often picked her up to spend ti with.
Two years after Yuan Dawei’s divorce, he had subtly expressed his fondness for Shen Lin several tis, but due to his leading position, Shen Lin could only tactfully refuse.
Before, Shen Lin was a married woman, so Yuan Dawei couldn’t openly pursue her and could only secretly try to win her over.
But since getting the news of Shen Lin’s divorce from the couple Tang Yue a month ago, he started to pursue her vigorously and incessantly.
He greeted her daily with concern and care.
And he invited her out on a date every day.
Shen Lin, fed up, refused many tis. At first, she was diplomatic, but later on, as it beca tireso, she rejected him outright.
So, Yuan Dawei resorted to a circumventive strategy, bringing in Tang Yue and her husband.
Tang Yue was Shen Lin’s best colleague at work, essentially a close friend. Besides, her husband’s uncle was a senior leader in their departnt.
Although sowhat unwillingly, Shen Lin was still pulled out by Tang Yue to go on a few group dates.
Today was the sa, Tang Yue invited her to go shopping at the mall, and after refusing several tis to no avail, she had no choice but to co out.
The result was, as expected, Yuan Dawei also ca along.
Shen Lin was a bit annoyed by this, but felt even more helpless.
The work at their departnt was excellent, a stable job with guaranteed inco and great benefits, but the interpersonal relationships were sowhat complex.
It was a good thing she was now an associate director; otherwise, she would have an even harder ti keeping a low profile at work.
She followed the three of them distractedly into Delong Mall, scanning her surroundings absent-mindedly, and then she saw her ex-husband Chen Feng and his sweetly affectionate girlfriend Wu ngting, arm in arm.
They erged from the jewelry store, with the woman’s neck adorned with a necklace that glinted faintly, set with small diamonds, quite conspicuous against her clothing under the lights.
At that mont, Shen Lin’s thoughts suddenly turned to the ti Chen Feng had bought her a necklace.
At Century Mall not far from here, Chen Feng had just received his salary and excitedly dragged her to pick out a necklace, a birthday gift he promised her early on.
They spent quite so ti choosing, and in the end, Shen Lin considerately picked a gold necklace costing just over two thousand, even though the one she actually liked was the platinum necklace costing more than eight thousand.
However, when Chen Feng personally placed the gold necklace around her neck, she still smiled happily and clung to his arm, walking out of the jewelry shop full of laughter and joy.
And now, it was still the sa Chen Feng, but the woman intimately holding his arm was no longer her.
Heh, what a scumbag!
No wonder he divorced so decisively! No wonder my pleas didn’t work!
Shen Lin’s gaze sharpened as she looked at Chen Feng, and then it shifted to Wu ngting, making involuntary comparisons in her mind.
Shorter than , smaller chest than mine, not as well-figured as , shorter hair, skin... passable, face... barely on par with mine, age...
Despicable! An old cow eating tender grass!
Shen Lin’s piercing gaze fixed on Chen Feng once again.
The mont Chen Feng saw her, his body tensed involuntarily, and his feet nearly stumbled.
Then, suddenly, he felt like he was caught in the act of cheating, panic rising quickly.
When he instinctively tried to push away Wu ngting, who was by his side, he suddenly realized that he was already divorced from Shen Lin and that they no longer had any connection.
So... what’s there to panic about!?
Chen Feng bravely t her gaze, trying his best to maintain composure.
After all, having been together for four or five years, Chen Feng could feel the rage in Shen Lin’s eyes at that mont.
So, it’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it. He decisively averted his eyes, looking down at the ground.
Everyone acted as strangers, not acknowledging one another.
Just as they were about to pass by each other in a few more seconds.
"Hey, what a coincidence, Chen Feng! Running into you here. How have you been recently?"
The one calling out was Kong Tianlu.
In the past, due to Shen Lin and Tang Yue, the two couples had dined out a few tis, and of course, they all knew each other.
Moreover, Kong Tianlu got along well with Chen Feng, had a deep impression of him, and they had even added each other on WeChat.
After knowing about Chen Feng’s divorce from Shen Lin, Kong Tianlu had even invited him for drinks over WeChat, but Chen Feng didn’t respond and eventually removed him.
One could imagine how Kong Tianlu felt when he found out that his well-aning attempt to contact Chen Feng resulted in being removed as a WeChat friend.
This ti, when they encountered each other, Kong Tianlu originally intended to pretend not to see him or act as if they didn’t know each other. But when he saw Wu ngting, who was affectionately holding Chen Feng’s arm, he admitted he was jealous.
It was the natural jealousy that any normal man would have.
Moreover, Chen Feng previously had such a beautiful woman as Shen Lin for a wife, and now, just after the divorce, he already had a younger, prettier woman by his side.
Just thinking about it made it seem like Chen Feng was overdoing it. Everyone is a man, why do you get to have such good fortune?
At the sa ti, Kong Tianlu also felt sowhat indignant on behalf of Shen Lin.
Shen Lin had been single since the divorce, and even faced a diamond bachelor like Yuan Dawei’s pursuit without giving in.
And now Chen Feng had already found soone new.
So, in the end, Kong Tianlu couldn’t hold back and called out directly to Chen Feng.
"How about that? Didn’t you see he already has soone new by his side?" Tang Yue imdiately followed up with a cold face, defending Shen Lin, "As expected, not a single man is a good thing."
Kong Tianlu pretended to be innocent and said, "Yue Yue, you’re knocking everyone with the sa brush, I feel wronged."
Yuan Dawei glanced at Shen Lin, who was still staring at Chen Feng, and coughed awkwardly before asking, "You know each other? This is..."
"He’s Sister Shen’s ex-husband." Kong Tianlu introduced with a smile, then turned to the stern-faced Chen Feng, "This is Director Yuan from our office, who is now pursuing Sister Shen."
Yuan Dawei, indeed contemplating such, was about to move forward to shake hands with Chen Feng courteously, but Shen Lin suddenly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Chen Feng, less than a ter apart.
Chen Feng subconsciously wanted to step back, but because his arm was tightly clasped by Wu ngting, he couldn’t.
"I need an explanation!"
Shen Lin’s gaze was icy, and she enunciated each word sharply.
Chen Feng, feeling sowhat guilty, averted her gaze and was just about to explain when he heard Wu ngting suddenly step forward to block him, extending her hand to Shen Lin with a friendly smile.
"Hello, my na is Wu ngting, Chen Feng’s girlfriend. Are you his ex-wife?"
Shen Lin didn’t shake her hand, simply staring at her while speaking with a mocking tone, "You don’t look dumb, so why would you beco his girlfriend? What do you see in him? He has no money, no house—is it his flab you’re after?"
Upon hearing this, Wu ngting’s eyes narrowed, her extended hand withdrawn, yet her face retained a very approachable smile as she said lightly, "Whatever you were after with him, I’m after the sa."
Shen Lin imdiately felt a surge of anger, and her right hand lifted unconsciously.
Wu ngting acted as if she hadn’t seen it, still responding with a smile.
Chen Feng knew Shen Lin’s temper well. Although she was mostly gentle, she would resort to hitting soone when angered.
He imdiately pulled Wu ngting behind him and said calmly to Shen Lin, "If you want an explanation, I’ll give you one. Let’s sit down and talk about it, calmly and peacefully."
After speaking, Chen Feng pulled Wu ngting toward the main entrance.
