Lin Lin's words came as a shock to Chen Wei, although the matter was something that Chen Wei could easily do, but Chen Wei could not agree to Lin Lin's request.
Not having heard Chen Wei's response, Lin Lin casually said, "If you don't have time, then forget it."
But a flash of disappointment passed through her eyes.
"It's not that there's no time," Chen Wei corrected Lin Lin's mistake. "I'm afraid you don't have time, after all, as the president of one of the top five enterprises, you won't have the same leisure time as me."
The reason why Chen Wei didn't want to agree to Lin Lin's request was very simple - he was afraid that she would be targeted by the "old generation" because of him, and she was not by his side. If something were to happen, it would be too late to regret.
"Of course I have time!" Lin Lin quickly interjected.
Chen Wei was stunned, staring at Lin Lin for a long time before she continued, "I don't want to be the same as ten years ago, when I was too timid and shy to even approach you. Even if I could only have you for just one day, it would be enough for me."
No way?
Just helping her drive away a few hoodlums earned her a woman's unwavering affection?
Chen Wei was astonished beyond belief. Suddenly, he noticed that Lin Lin's eyes were filled with tears. Chen Wei could only sigh and take a step back, saying, "Of course, I'd be happy to accompany you if you have the time."
"Yes!" Lin Lin nodded heavily, and her beautiful eyes almost became two crescent moons.
Chen Wei just stared at Lin Lin, unsure of what to say. Lin Lin, on the other hand, silently savored the joy within her heart and did not speak at the moment.
"Chen the Great Lover!"
Suddenly, Shen Yume's voice came from the side, startling Chen Wei and Lin Lin. Chen Wei turned his head and looked at Shen Yume in surprise.
"Wow, Chen Da Saint has some great skills!" said Shen Yu Meng in a strange tone of voice, with a strange expression on her face, as if she had seen a man who played with women's emotions.
"How did I become such a big Casanova?" Chen Wei grinned wryly. "You might as well stop annoying me now."
"How long has it been? You've gone from being Tao Han's assistant to the CEO of Lin Corporation." Shen Yu Meng held her chin and kept staring at Chen Wei, saying, "You don't need to be modest."
Chen Wei couldn't tell that Shen Yu's words contained a hint of sarcasm, so he smiled slightly and asked directly, "Why do you have such a sullen expression?"
"Lin President, despite the fact that you had the nickname 'stone woman' for four years in college, I never expected..." Yin Yume's tone was one of surprise and admiration, and she didn't answer Chen Wei's question.
"I don't care about what others think or say," Lin Lin said calmly. "I don't have the power to control others' mouths."
"You haven't changed much since your days at Zhengru," Shen Yumei shook her head and inexplicably sighed before speaking in a low voice, "I really feel bad for her. I never thought she would fall in love with Chen Wei."
The "her" that Shen Yume was referring to was either Lin Lin or someone else, and it was unclear.
"What are you muttering about?" Chen Wei asked.
"You're asking too many questions," Shen Yume said, not sure if it was a threat or a warning. She snorted and added, "Chen Great Lover, you'd better wait for me nicely next week."
After Shen Yume left, Lin Lin tilted her head slightly and looked hesitant. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she suggested, "Why don't you switch jobs and come to my company? I..."
"No need for that," Chen Wei smiled and asked, "By the way, did you attend the same university as her in college?"
"Yes," Lin Lin said slowly, "We study at a prestigious financial university nationwide. Don't you find that interesting?"
"I just wanted to ask you what 'stone woman' means," Chen Wei joked. Lin Lin's face turned red, a rare occurrence, as she spoke with a helpless tone, "Because I have flatly rejected the love of over 100 people."
"So many!" Chen Wei's heart skipped a beat as he thought, among these 100 people, couldn't there be anyone that Lin Lin finds attractive? Is it possible that she's the same as Han Yuexing, stubbornly pursuing him?
"I was called a 'stone maiden' because I didn't accept any man's affections," Lin Lin said with a wry smile. "But I've always been indifferent to these things, so I just let them say whatever they wanted."
"Don't look at me like that in surprise. Actually..." Lin Lin changed her tone and said, "Actually, I can't compare to Shen Yuyu. The number of people who confessed to her is much greater than mine."
"Oh? The woman with a bad temper? Those men must have poor eyesight!" Chen Wei sneered. Lin Lin shook her head and said, "It's not like that. Initially, Shen Yu Meng was very cold and some people called her the 'Ice Queen'. Others even called her the 'Unconquerable' woman. Perhaps it was those words that aroused the desire for conquest in most men. They were like water, constantly confessing their love to Shen Yu Meng and trying to win her heart. But she paid no attention to them. I think you understand that for most people, the more they can't have something, the more they want it."
Chen Wei understood roughly that some people had confessed to Shen Yu Meng but were rejected, so they purposely gave her a cool nickname to make more people confess and get rejected.
In this way, it can stir up some people's resentment.
Chen Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud, surprisedly saying, "The woman known as 'unconquerable' is Shen Yume? That's the funniest thing I've heard all year."
"I know you don't believe me," Lin Lin said with a faint smile. "Maybe she only shows her true self in front of you. I don't know if it's your misfortune or luck."
"What do you mean?" Chen Wei was taken aback and quickly asked.
Lin Lin just smiled, Chen Wei didn't say any unnecessary words, and he walked back to the coffee shop with Lin Lin. After spending some time with Tao Han, he fully compensated her and drove her home before leaving.
Back home, I sat on the sofa and just took a sip of hot tea when I heard Su Ninghan hum and ask, "Did you meet a girl? Are you happy?"
"Who's the girlfriend?" Chen Wei retorted.
"Come on, you're not even trying to lie convincingly." Su Ninghan wrinkled her small nose and sniffed, frowning and said, "There are at least two different perfume scents on your body."
Chen Wei took his time to sip his tea, then leaned back on the sofa and didn't answer Su Ninghan's question. However, Su Ninghan let out a cold laugh and said, "Aren't you embarrassed?"
"Expose?" Chen Wei looked at Su Ninghan strangely and said, "I'm just bringing a woman home. What can you do to me? Don't forget that I am the owner of this house, but unfortunately, you are not the female owner."
"Hmm, I wonder what Hana Yuexin would think if she heard this," Su Ninghan slowly said. "And her health isn't great either. What if she gets too excited and..."
"What are you talking about?"
