Luo Qingchao was able to sit in the position of vice president of a listed company at such a young age, so he certainly had a good mind. If it were another man who heard Shen Lin's words, he wouldn't be angry on the spot, but he would definitely be embarrassed.
But with a gentle smile on his face, he nodded and admitted his mistake and said: "My fault, I took it for granted. I thought that since we were divorced, that relationship must have been unfortunate or a failure."
Shen Lin couldn't help but admire Luo Qingchao's good temper, and pointed out that he deserved to be the vice president of a listed company at such a young age, with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
She is not an unreasonable person. Even if she doesn't have much affection for Luo Qingchao at the moment, she can't keep embarrassing him.
So, she softened her tone and said straightforwardly: "Actually, I regret now that I divorced my ex-husband too hastily. If it can be saved, I would like to save that marriage again."
Hearing Shen Lin's words, it was difficult for Luo Qingchao to maintain the gentle smile just now, and his face became obviously stiff. Shen Lin said such straightforward words, which obviously meant that she had no interest in him.
She said in front of her blind date that she regretted the divorce, and in disguise said that she still loved her ex-husband. This was obviously disrespectful to him and she didn't care about his feelings at all.
Luo Qingchao coughed twice, managed to control his expression, showed a bright smile and said: "I did not misjudge you, you are indeed a very long-term woman."
Shen Lin was speechless when she heard his words of praise. She had made it so obvious, but this man still had no intention of giving up. His scheming was too deep.
This alone made it difficult for her to have a better impression of him.
"Actually, I heard your relatives talk about your last marriage. It was said that at the beginning, your parents were strongly opposed to it. Because the other party was from out of town, had no car or house, and had a mediocre job, so your marriage was You have been renting a house since then. To put it simply, he can't give you happiness, so it's normal for your parents to be very opposed to it at the time. I don't understand what regrets you have after divorcing a man who can't give you happiness. .”
Luo Qingchao said these heart-wrenching words lightly, which would definitely be effective under normal circumstances, but unfortunately he did not understand that the Chen Feng of today was no longer the Chen Feng of the past.
If Chen Feng is as depressed now as before, Shen Lin probably won't regret it. Even if Chen Feng is better than before, she won't regret it.
But the fact is that Chen Feng is much better now than before. This is not only because Chen Feng is rich now, but also because Chen Feng is more energetic now than when they were in love and he worked hard and worked hard. More calm and confident, more full of mature male charm.
Thinking about how she decided to marry Chen Feng despite her parents' objections, and spent seven or eight years with Chen Feng, the most precious years of a woman's life, the sunk cost was really huge.
As a result, when she thought that divorce would stop her losses in time, she actually suffered huge losses, and all her investment of time and relationship in the early seven or eight years was in vain.
For example, she clearly could win 100 million, but she gave up early because she was afraid of losing. In the end, she didn't even have a chance to save her capital.
Can she not regret it?
"You only understand the surface of my relationship with him. Besides, apart from the fact that they know each other, it is difficult for outsiders, including their parents, to understand some of the private matters between husband and wife. So, please don't judge my ex-husband arbitrarily. .I am not a long-term love woman. If I were really a long-term love woman, I would not have divorced her in the first place."
Shen Lin said these words casually, leaving Luo Qingchao silent for a while.
He had already overestimated the difficulty of capturing Shen Lin, but reality showed that it would be almost impossible for him to capture Shen Lin using conventional means.
This dampened his originally high self-confidence.
If it were any other woman, especially a divorced woman like her, he would be able to win her in two or three dates at most.
It's not like he hasn't had blind dates with other divorced women before, and there is no one who doesn't want to marry him, so as long as he likes her, he can easily win her.
Afterwards, he was able to use various means to do a good job without affecting his good reputation in the blind date market.
From the beginning, Luo Qingchao went on a blind date not for the purpose of getting married. Firstly, it was to cope with the forced marriage from his parents, and secondly, it was just for fun.
He had long been tired of playing with young models in clubs, etc. Later, he discovered that he could meet many good families through blind dates, so he focused on finding his suitable partner through blind dates.
He was very satisfied with Shen Lin this time. Although she had been married and divorced, she had never given birth to a child. Moreover, according to the information he learned, Shen Lin had not dated the opposite sex since her divorce. Such a clean and self-sufficient woman, And it is rare to see someone so beautiful and elegant.
Therefore, he attached great importance to Shen Lin and worked hard. He even thought about having a formal relationship with her. If she could still attract him after a few months of dating and make him reluctant to get rid of her, he would I considered quitting my business and married her.
After all, he is indeed not too young and can definitely consider getting married and having children.
He never thought about getting married before, just because he didn't meet the right woman. Now Shen Lin makes him feel vaguely that she is the right woman for him to marry.
Unfortunately, Shen Lin obviously doesn't have much affection for him so far.
…
Chen Feng knocked on the door of the box. After hearing Lou Xiaojiao's voice of "come in", he pushed the door open and entered.
"Hey, you really bought me a bouquet of flowers."
When Lou Xiaojiao saw Chen Feng holding flowers in his hands, he was a little surprised and shouted loudly.
Yu Xiaohui was also a little surprised. Although this flower was not a red rose or any other flower that expressed love, how could she refuse such a beautiful blue hyacinth? Besides, this was the first time Chen Feng had given her flowers.
"Chen Feng, thank you, I like your flower very much."
Yu Xiaohui stood up from her seat with great joy, walked quickly towards Chen Feng, and took the flowers from his hand eagerly with a happy smile on her face.
"As long as you like it, happy birthday."
Chen Feng responded with a smile.
Lou Xiaojiao was on the side and asked with a smile: "Besides this bouquet of flowers, what other birthday gifts have you prepared for Xiaohui?"
While she was talking, she looked at Chen Feng's whole body. Seeing that his hands were empty and there was obviously nothing hidden in his pockets, she couldn't help but ask, "You didn't just give me this bouquet of flowers as a birthday gift, did you?"
Chen Feng was not embarrassed and said calmly: "Yes, it's just a bouquet of flowers. It's not a gift but a lot of affection. Besides, Xiaohui said it herself, don't buy any birthday gifts."
Lou Xiaojiao immediately said angrily: "When did you listen to her so much? If you really listened to her, she wanted to be your woman before and threw herself into your arms. Why didn't you agree?"
What he said... was a bit harsh.
However, Chen Feng was somewhat used to it, so he just smiled and didn't answer.
Yu Xiaohui was a little embarrassed and glared at Lou Xiaojiao: "Okay, it's my birthday today. Don't rush him as soon as we meet. And it's true that I asked him not to buy other gifts. He can come over to celebrate my birthday and give me gifts."
I am already content with flowers."
Lou Xiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, "Then you are really contented."
Yu Xiaohui smiled and said: "Are you always happy when you are content? What else can we do if we are like this now?"
Lou Xiaojiao rolled her eyes but didn't say anything else.
Yu Xiaohui pulled Chen Feng over to sit down, and then rang the pager. Not long after, a waiter came in, and the three of them started ordering.
Chen Feng was too lazy and asked them to make the decision for him. He just said that since he drove here, he didn't want to order drinks, and they all agreed.
Of the two of them, Lou Xiaojiao is the better drinker, while Yu Xiaohui can only drink as much as one bottle of beer.
"Chen Feng, I'm not talking about you. This must be your first time celebrating Yu Xiaohui's birthday. It's your first time that you didn't even get a birthday gift and just bought a bouquet of flowers. It's so insincere."
After the waiter left, Lou Xiaojiao looked like she was complaining about Yu Xiaohui and complained about Chen Feng.
"Okay, Xiaohui didn't say anything, so what are you blabbering about?" Chen Feng didn't like her, so he rolled his eyes at her and asked, "If you are sincere, what birthday gift did you give her?
"
Lou Xiaojiao shrank and replied: "I gave her a high-level VIP card for a beauty salon."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "That is indeed sincerity."
Lou Xiaojiao smiled and subconsciously wanted to scold her again, but as soon as she opened her mouth and faced Chen Feng's sharp gaze, she immediately retracted it.
Yu Xiaohui came to Chen Feng's rescue and said, "I don't want him to buy me gifts. After all, we gave him short notice and we were pressed for time."
Lou Xiaojiao glanced at Chen Feng and said: "The gift can be supplemented. Chen Feng, do you think you should give Xiaohui a formal birthday gift? I know you are not a stingy person."
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. In this way, I will give Xiaohui a birthday red envelope later, and she can just buy whatever she likes."
"I'll go, it's too easy for you." Lou Xiaojiao rolled her eyes, "I just said you have to be sincere, sincerity, do you understand?"
"Isn't the birthday red envelope I gave 8888 sincere enough?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
Yu Xiaohui quickly refused and said: "No! I won't accept it even if you send it. This is too much."
"How much money is this?" Lou Xiaojiao said disapprovingly, "It's not enough for our meal. However, I think Chen Feng can only be sincere if he buys the gifts himself."
"Then, I'll buy the gift myself."
Chen Feng was too lazy to bother asking them about this issue anymore, and planned to stop by the mall to buy something as a gift after returning.
"That's pretty much it."
When Lou Xiaojiao saw that Chen Feng finally gave in, she felt proud. It was not easy to make Chen Feng bow his head.
Chen Feng ignored her, looked at Yu Xiaohui and asked, "Did you bring the birthday cake?"
"I brought it with me. It's over here."
Lou Xiaojiao pointed to the empty seat next to her. Chen Feng and Yu Xiaohui were sitting opposite her.
"That's no problem. I'll sing happy birthday to you later."
After all, they are old classmates, and they had an affair with her before, and now they are neighbors. They are in a foreign country together. Yu Xiaohui is celebrating her birthday. Even if Chen Feng is indifferent, he still wants to celebrate her birthday.
"Thanks."
Seeing that Chen Feng was so proactive and willing to sing happy birthday to her, the smile on Yu Xiaohui's face became even brighter.
Lou Xiaojiao, who was opposite me, was a little annoyed and couldn't help but say: "Chen Feng, it's my birthday next month. Then, you have to celebrate my birthday and sing happy birthday to me."
Chen Feng really wanted to give her a look and let her figure it out for herself, but when he thought that she was now in a foreign country and specifically chose to be his neighbor in Hongshu Bay for support, and besides, she was the lover of the dead husband, it was indeed a bit miserable.
He softened his mind, nodded and said, "Okay. Let me know when the time comes."
When Lou Xiaojiao said those words, she was ready to be scolded by Chen Feng, but to her surprise, Chen Feng actually agreed, which immediately made her feel flattered.
"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Lou Xiaojiao still didn't believe it. Chen Feng had never been kind to her before.
"Believe it or not." Chen Feng finally couldn't help but give her a roll of his eyes.
Lou Xiaojiao smiled and said, "Then I'll take it as your promise and don't regret it then."
While talking, there was a knock on the door and the waiter started to serve the food.
Chen Feng was also a little hungry, so the three of them started to eat.
This Western restaurant is relatively high-end. The taste of each dish is quite good, but the portion is a bit small and the price is ridiculously high. After Chen Feng finished five dishes, he was still only three-thirds full.
By the time he finished the eight dishes he ordered, he was only half full, and Chen Feng was too embarrassed to order any more.
However, there is still a six-inch birthday cake waiting.
After unpacking and lighting birthday candles, Chen Feng took the lead in singing a birthday song to Yu Xiaohui. While singing, he beat the music with his hands. Lou Xiaojiao quickly followed suit. Even though there were only two of them, the atmosphere was quite good.
"Xiaohui, happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday! Make a wish!"
Yu Xiaohui clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, made a wish on the birthday candle, and then blew it out.
Chen Feng and Lou Xiaojiao applauded and cheered loudly.
After the ceremony was completed, it was finally time to eat the birthday cake. The two women only ate a small symbolic piece, and the rest went into Chen Feng's stomach.
Not to mention, this birthday cake is delicious and the cream is very authentic.
"Chen Feng, you eat so much and you are not afraid of getting fat." Lou Xiaojiao said with a pretended look of disgust.
Chen Feng took out a napkin, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Being fat is a blessing, unlike your thin breasts which are almost gone."
Lou Xiaojiao didn't expect Chen Feng to be such a venomous snake. Her face suddenly turned red and she said angrily: "What's wrong with your look? Why do I have no breasts? I am also a B+ after all."
Chen Feng also realized that what he just said was a bit too hurtful, so he quickly smiled and said: "You are right, my eyes are a bit bad."
Seeing Chen Feng give in immediately, Yu Xiaohui couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lou Xiaojiao did not laugh, but glared at Yu Xiaohui: "Is it funny?"
"No, no." Yu Xiaohui quickly denied, then turned to Chen Feng and said, "I can guarantee that Xiaojiao does have a B+."
Chen Feng felt a little embarrassed this time. He touched his nose and abruptly changed the subject and said, "I just saw my ex-wife in the hall."
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, both Yu Xiaohui and Lou Xiaojiao were immediately diverted by him.
"Really? What a coincidence?" Lou Xiaojiao's eyes widened.
"Yeah. What a coincidence. Is she still there? Which table is she at? I haven't seen her yet? I wonder what she looks like?" Yu Xiaohui was even more curious and gossipy.
