When the problem comes to Chen Feng, if he refuses again, it will look very impersonal. He has clearly rejected her many times before.
In addition, if he refuses again, it is likely to aggravate her condition.
As for whether Shen Lin and Tang Yue collaborated to deceive him, Shen Lin may not have depression, or it may not be that serious. Chen Feng has also considered this issue.
But presumably they wouldn't lie about this.
In other words, even if Tang Yue would lie to him, Shen Lin should not. This is a tacit understanding and trust formed between the two of them over the years.
In Chen Feng's opinion, even if Shen Lin wanted to get back together with him, she would not lie to him about this kind of thing.
Besides, this kind of lie can be easily exposed.
The most important thing is that Chen Feng really owes her, and he can't really let her sink into decadence.
"Okay, we can try to start dating again." Chen Feng finally relented again, but he immediately said with a serious face, "But I'm going to say something ugly first, I won't do it just because I feel I owe you something in the past. Treating you specially will not guarantee that I will get back together with you and get married in the future. Therefore, you may not get the result you want in the end."
Shen Lin nodded and said: "I understand. I just want an equal opportunity. After all, my relationship with you for so many years is not as good as the few women you are dating now?"
Chen Feng shook his head slightly and said: "Emotional matters are difficult to explain. Those couples who have been in love for more than ten years or even decades are ultimately no match for a third party who has only known each other for a short time. Are there not many such things? It's not that you know each other. I have been longer than them, so you have an advantage over them. On the contrary, because the last two years we were together left a psychological shadow on me, you are now at a disadvantage."
Shen Lin took a deep breath and said calmly: "I accept your statement, but I still feel that I understand you better and love you more than they do."
When Chen Feng heard this last sentence, he felt a little strange and disgusted in his heart. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Then let's try to date each other again in the future, just as if we just met."
Shen Lin frowned and said, "We have known each other for several years, but I can't treat it like we just met."
She is not stupid, she knows that her biggest advantage is Chen Feng's status as ex-wife, which is completely incomparable to other women Chen Feng is dating now? Chen Feng was her husband at the beginning.
As soon as they met each other, she lost this innate advantage.
After Chen Feng was silent for a while, he smiled slightly and said, "Well, it's hard for me to treat you as someone I just met."
After hearing this, Shen Lin finally showed a smile on her face, nodded and said: "That's right, we were in love for a few years and then married for three years. We are very familiar with each other and understand each other. You have something on your butt. I know both moles very well. How could it be considered the first time we met? Neither of us has lost our memory."
"Because I didn't have amnesia, our marriage gave me very bad memories."
"Isn't it the same for me? But at least in the years before the last two years, we were happy most of the time. Why do you have to remember the bad memories? Those beautiful and happy memories, you Have you forgotten everything?”
It was hard for Chen Feng to refute, but looking back now, their relationship and marriage were like sugar-coated poison. No matter how much sugar-coating was wrapped on the outside, the inside was deadly poison. The whole thing was still poison, and Not sweet candy.
It was difficult for him to say this metaphor at this moment. He agreed to date her only because of the friendship and debt he felt back then, not because he still missed her.
In addition, because of her illness, even though he was divorced and no longer loved her, he didn't want her to have a bad life or even have an accident.
After the two were silent for a while, Shen Lin suddenly said: "Since you agreed to date me, then I want to live with you. You won't object, right?"
Chen Feng shook his head and refused without hesitation: "This won't work. I'm already living with two people. You've all seen them before, one is Wu Mengting and the other is Sun Xiaorui. If you move in rashly, it will only make everyone unhappy. What's more, Are you really ready to live together with me?"
Shen Lin fell silent for a moment.
Chen Feng took the initiative to come to her this time, which was very sudden and unexpected to her.
If he only lived with Chen Feng, they had been living together for several years before the divorce. Of course there would be no problem, but with the addition of two other women, the situation would be completely different.
She was completely unprepared for this.
After a while, Shen Lin asked again: "Then how do you plan to arrange for me?"
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he said: "As you just said, I promised you that when I became prosperous, I would buy you a house and a car. I remember that when Hongshu Bay was first built, we went to visit Yes, I have always dreamed of buying a house there. Last time I took you there to see the villa I bought. If you like the villa there, I can buy another one for you to live in. .It’s not very far from your work there, you can get there in ten minutes by car.”
When Shen Lin heard what Chen Feng said, it was impossible not to feel excited. As a native of Xiuzhou, she was from a county under the jurisdiction of Xiuzhou. She never had a house belonging to her in Xiuzhou city. This pair of people in Xiuzhou For her, who has worked in the city for many years, this is undoubtedly the biggest regret in her life.
Especially when I married Chen Feng, the two of them did not have a wedding room in Xiuzhou city, which was even more regretful.
The last time she went to see the villa Chen Feng bought in Hongshu Bay, she felt very unwilling and couldn't calm down.
But she and Chen Feng had divorced after all, and they could be said to have become strangers, both legally and in real life. How could she have the nerve to ask Chen Feng to let her live in the villa, or even give it to her?
And now that Chen Feng has agreed to date her again, she is qualified to accept Chen Feng's kindness and gifts. After all, Chen Feng must have given things to other women. If other women have them, of course she can't live without them.
"Are you really willing to buy me a villa over there?" Shen Lin asked, looking sideways at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded calmly and said, "Of course, this is what I promised you back then. Even if we are divorced now, the promise I made to you back then is still valid."
In fact, although what Chen Feng said was true, it was not the main reason why he was willing to give her a villa. The real main reason was that Chen Feng began to prepare in advance for his future breakup with her.
He agreed to re-engage with Shen Lin now, mainly because he wanted to repay the love debt he owed her back then, and secondly because he was afraid that she would really sink because of depression.
But it is definitely impossible for him to really get back together with Shen Lin and get married again. In the future, when her condition improves, he will choose to break up with her at the appropriate time.
Before that, Chen Feng would definitely give her adequate compensation in material terms, and would not leave her with nothing or leave nothing when they broke up.
Anyway, he is not short of money now. Although money has not completely turned into a number for him, he really doesn't value it very much, especially for people close to him. He is very willing to spend money to satisfy their needs. Some material needs.
Shen Lin was moved when she heard this and almost shed tears again, but she held back and said, "Then when you took me to Hongshu Bay to look at the house last time, why didn't you say you would give it to me?"
Chen Feng said honestly: "I'm afraid that you might misunderstand me and think that I still have lingering feelings for you. However, if you had asked for it at that time, I would definitely give it to you. After all, I promised it back then."
Shen Lin nodded, agreeing with Chen Feng's explanation, and said with a smile: "Then if I really want it, will you think I'm too materialistic?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "Of course not. This is what I promised in the first place. You have been with me for so many years. Now that I am prosperous, it is normal for me to fulfill my promise to you. Besides, the villa over Hongshu Bay is right. It’s nothing to me. My current company’s market value is over 20 billion.”
The smile on Shen Lin's face became even more obvious.
"Forget the villa." Shen Lin shook her head slightly and said, "Forget the house over at Hongshu Bay. You don't live there anymore, so what's the point of living there anymore? I want a house here now. Commercial housing, the full price is seven to eight million, what do you think?"
Chen Feng said without any hesitation: "As long as you like it, you can buy it at any time."
As soon as Chen Feng said this, Shen Lin's excitement could no longer be suppressed. As soon as she put the water glass on the table, she threw herself into Chen Feng's arms, with tears already streaming down her face.
Chen Feng's whole body froze!
Although the two have been together for six or seven years and have experienced many close embraces, they have been divorced for more than a year, and now they suddenly embrace each other again. To be honest, Chen Feng is very uncomfortable and feels very unreal.
Before coming here to find Shen Lin, he never thought that she would suddenly hug him so emotionally.
In his memory, Shen Lin had always been a bit arrogant and rarely took the initiative to hug him like this.
It wasn't until Shen Lin's tears splashed on his collar that he woke up from a dream, stretched out his right hand and patted Shen Lin's back gently to express comfort.
But as a result, Shen Lin, who had been crying silently, suddenly burst into tears again, looking very sad.
This made Chen Feng freeze up again.
The hand that was originally patting her back froze.
"I'm sorry! I really can't help it... I dreamed of getting back together with you... I started to regret it after I separated from you. I shouldn't have agreed to divorce you so easily. Everything is mine. Wrong, I shouldn't have given up on you just like that..."
Shen Lin said while crying, her tears couldn't stop.
At this time, Chen Feng was somewhat touched in his heart, but more importantly, he was complaining in his heart, saying, "If I become poor and lose my job after the divorce and cannot even support myself, will you still regret it?"
The answer is obviously no.
Just because after the divorce, Chen Feng suddenly started to counterattack and had a company, money, a house, a car and a beautiful woman, Shen Lin began to regret it.
People are so realistic, and Shen Lin is no exception.
It's just that in this situation, Chen Feng can't express his inner complaints.
His body was a little stiff and he waited for her to cry and talk for a few minutes. Finally, only the sobs were left. Then he opened his mouth to comfort and said, "Okay, all the unpleasantness in the past is gone. We have to move forward and start over." No matter what our final outcome will be in the future, I still hope that we can live happily in the days to come."
This is Chen Feng's sincere words.
After saying that, he reached over and pulled out two tissues on the small wooden table and handed them to Shen Lin. He had no intention of gently wiping her tears.
Shen Lin subconsciously took the tissue, then left Chen Feng's arms with some embarrassment, lowered her head slightly and wiped her tears with the tissue.
"Then, we've settled." As he spoke, Chen Feng naturally stretched out his hand and patted her twice on the shoulder, encouraging her, "You need to cheer up again and stop immersing yourself in the sadness of the past. If you are free tomorrow, we will go look at houses and then buy a house."
"...Thank you." Shen Lin said with a choked voice.
"You're welcome. This is what I promised you originally. I also planned to give you a villa. The villa on Hongshu Bay costs at least 20 million. Now you only want a commercial house of 7 to 8 million, but instead give it to me. Save money.”
After Shen Lin blew her nose with a tissue, she said with some embarrassment: "I personally prefer commercial housing. Villas are better, but if I live alone, I will definitely be scared and I won't be used to it."
Chen Feng nodded: "As long as you like it, then I'll come over here to meet you tomorrow morning, and then we'll go look at the house together. If you like it, I'll buy it tomorrow."
After saying that, Chen Feng stood up from the sofa and planned to say goodbye.
Shen Lin was slightly stunned when she saw this, and then asked reluctantly: "You...are you leaving now?"
Chen Feng said tactfully: "I have something to do when I go back, and it's night now, so I won't disturb your rest."
In fact, he did not want to stay and have any further close contact with Shen Lin, his ex-wife.
Although he had agreed to date her again, that was all. He didn't want to have a physical relationship with her again, otherwise he would be in trouble if he wanted to break up with her in the future.
Therefore, for the convenience of breaking up in the future, he was determined not to have any sexual relations with her again.
If a substantive relationship develops between a man and a woman, then the relationship between a man and a woman will be different from before, and a bond will form.
Especially for a relatively conservative woman like Shen Lin, if he sleeps with her again, she may hold Chen Feng responsible to the end.
This is what Chen Feng doesn't want to see.
As long as he waits until Shen Lin's depression is gone, or gets significantly better, or she finds a suitable successor, he will find an opportunity to break up with her.
"Can't you stay with me?" Shen Lin raised her eyes and looked at Chen Feng, her eyes slightly red and swollen, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, "We finally started over, so we have to spend more time together, right?"
After saying this, she realized the ambiguity in her words, her face turned red, and she immediately explained: "I mean, I hope you can stay with me, no... that's not what I mean. If you stay tonight If you come down, I can sleep on the sofa."
Chen Feng was speechless. The single apartment she lived in now had only one bedroom and a bed. The sofa they were sitting on just now was narrow and short, only 1.5 meters at most. How could she sleep at a height of 1.68 meters?
Chen Fengxin said, if you were building the floor, it would still make sense.
It's just that a man and a woman sleep together in the same room, and the two of them were still husband and wife before. If they really sleep on the same bed and the other on the floor, and neither of them crosses the boundary, then it is even more impossible.
Even if Chen Feng could bear it, he was still afraid that Shen Lin would attack his bed at night.
"I really have something to do tonight, so I'll go back first."
Chen Feng wisely did not answer her words, but simply expressed that he could not stay.
Seeing this, Shen Lin could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay then, be careful on your way back."
"Well, I'll be careful, so I'll leave first."
Chen Feng turned around and walked towards the door.
Shen Lin quickly shouted from behind: "About when can you come over tomorrow."
"About nine o'clock in the morning."
Chen Feng replied, and without stopping, he quickly reached the door and quickly put on his shoes.
Shen Lin walked quickly to him and said, "After I buy the house tomorrow, I will leave a room for you, and you can come and live at any time in the future. What do you think?"
"Let's talk about it later." Chen Feng stood up and glanced at her, "I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."
This time Chen Feng opened the door and left simply.
Shen Lin stood at the door and watched Chen Feng go away. After turning a corner and completely disappearing, she looked away with worry about success and failure.
