Chapter 95 You've already started to dislike me?
5:30 PM, at the fitness center.
Chen Mo, wearing a black sports T-shirt and gray sports shorts, was doing bench presses in the weight room.
His female fitness coach, Li Qian, has completely abandoned him because of his lack of interest in sex, and he's now going off to seduce other wealthy customers.
Thanks to his consistent training and the effects of the buffs, Chen Mo's previously somewhat slender physique gradually developed a more defined shape.
The outlines of his chest muscles and arms were faintly visible beneath his sweat-soaked clothes.
"The last group."
He took a deep breath, steadily pushed the barbell up, and slowly lowered it after completing twelve standard repetitions.
I got up and wiped the sweat off with a towel, and was about to go to the stretching area to relax my muscles when I heard a familiar female voice behind me.
"Wow, you're doing well. You can even see your abs."
Chen Mo turned around and saw Cai Yanyan wearing a taro purple yoga outfit, leaning against the Smith machine next to her with her arms crossed, smiling at him.
Her figure was on full display in her tight yoga clothes, and several male members around her were secretly glancing at her.
Chen Mo glanced at her expressionlessly and continued wiping his sweat.
What? I've run into that vixen again!
"Why do you give me that look?"
Cai Yanyan walked over and deliberately leaned closer to examine his physique, praising, "I must say, the results of your workout are quite obvious. You look even more envious than last time I saw you."
"Get to the point." Chen Mo turned and walked towards the stretching area.
Cai Yanyan followed, her tone suddenly turning into a complaint: "Brother Chen Mo, you've been quite arrogant lately, haven't you?"
I called three times and they didn't answer, nor did they reply to my WeChat messages. What, now that you're a deputy minister, you think you're so high and mighty? Believe me or not, I'll raise your rent!
I was busy that night.
Chen Mo found a cushion, sat down, and started stretching his legs. Then he looked up at her and said, "I was so tired that I fell asleep right away. I had a lot to do the next day, so I forgot about it."
"Okay, I forgive you."
Cai Yanyan sat cross-legged on the cushion next to him and smiled, "By the way, are you comfortable using the new furniture I got for you?"
"You dare bring that up again?"
Chen Mo stopped what he was doing, frowned at her, and said, "Who gave you permission to change my furniture without my consent? Did I agree to it?"
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
Cai Yanyan said matter-of-factly, "Doesn't your back hurt when you sit on that broken sofa? The old air conditioner's cooling effect is terrible, how do you get through the summer?"
I'm doing this to improve the quality of life for my tenants; you should be thanking me.
"Thank you so much."
Chen Mo said irritably, "Next time you want to touch my things, please ask for my permission first, landlady."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Cai Yanyan waved her hand, then suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Let's not talk about that. Have you been in contact with Qingyue a lot lately?"
"Just normal communication at work."
Chen Mo paused, then asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"She hasn't been acting quite right lately."
Cai Yanyan's joking expression faded, and she became more serious, saying, "She went on a blind date the day before yesterday, you knew that, right?"
"A blind date?"
Chen Mo was genuinely surprised and asked, "Does President Shen also need to go on blind dates?"
In his mind, a woman like Shen Qingyue, who is young, beautiful, capable, and from a wealthy family, should have no shortage of suitors, so it does sound a bit strange that she would take the initiative to go on blind dates.
"It was arranged by her father; she couldn't refuse."
Cai Yanyan sighed and said, "The other party is the son of her father's friend. He just returned from abroad, and I heard that his family is quite satisfied and wants to match them up."
Chen Mo immediately remembered what Supervisor Li had said.
The new minister seems to have also returned from abroad.
Could it be the same person?
He paused for a few seconds, then continued stretching his other leg, casually asking, "So?"
"So after the blind date that day, she went to sit by the river alone, feeling very down."
Cai Yanyan observed Chen Mo's expression and said, "I went to find her later and drank with her. She got completely drunk."
I want to ask you, besides blind dates, does she have any other work-related worries?
"Nothing major has happened at the company lately."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and then said honestly, "The restructuring of the technology department is progressing, and all projects are operating normally. I haven't heard of anything that's causing her any particular headaches."
Cai Yanyan frowned: "Really? Think about it again?"
"No, really."
Chen Mo laughed and retorted, "Aren't you her best friend? You didn't know?"
"I guessed she didn't want to say, so I didn't ask."
Cai Yanyan shrugged and said, "I thought you knew. If you don't, then forget it."
After saying that, she put on that teasing expression again.
"By the way, did you stay out all night again yesterday?"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes at her and said irritably, "What's it to you? Your landlord doesn't care about my business!"
"Beauty is a curse, little brother."
Cai Yanyan smiled charmingly, "I'm just worried that you'll be led astray by some women outside, and get cheated out of money and your body. You need to be careful."
"Thank you, I'm not afraid."
Chen Mo scoffed, "Compared to you, they're like complete greenhorns. Don't try to fool me."
"Ah, Brother Chen Mo."
Cai Yanyan immediately feigned sadness, clutching her chest and saying sadly, "Is that really how you see me?"
"Yes, in my eyes you're a vixen."
Chen Mo joked, "That's why I've always kept my distance from you, afraid that you might have ulterior motives and try to drain my yang energy and essence."
"That won't do, I'm going to stick to you."
As Cai Yanyan spoke, she deliberately leaned forward, exuding charm, and said, "How about we have dinner together tonight? You've been promoted to minister, aren't you going to invite me as a token of your appreciation?"
"I'm busy, maybe next time."
Chen Mo walked past her toward the dressing room, waving and saying, "I have plans with other people tonight."
"A woman?" Cai Yanyan caught up and asked.
"Yeah, I'm getting ready for a date, do you have a problem with that?"
No objections.
Cai Yanyan's eyes lit up, and she said, "But can I come along? I promise to behave myself."
Chen Mo stopped and turned to look at her, speechless. "Sister, are you going to be a third wheel?"
"No, I just want to see what kind of woman you would reject me and go on a date with."
Cai Yanyan smiled like a fox and said coquettishly, "I'm just curious. You guys can go on a date and I'll pay the bill."
"You really are—"
Chen Mo was speechless for a moment, then quickly shook off her hand and quickened his pace toward the changing room.
"Don't follow me anymore!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say, goodbye honey!"
Chen Mo, who was ahead, was almost petrified and walked even faster.
This woman really dares to say anything!
Cai Yanyan stood there with her arms crossed, watching Chen Mo disappear through the locker room door, her smile gradually becoming meaningful.
"Looks like he really does have a woman in his life."
She muttered to herself, the image of Shen Qingyue drunkenly appearing in her mind last Friday night.
I have some guesses of my own.
Cai Yanyan knows Shen Qingyue too well.
They grew up together. Shen Qingyue appears calm and rational on the surface, but she is actually delicate and sensitive inside, and extremely slow to warm up to people.
She must have feelings for Chen Mo, and perhaps even likes his personality; once she falls for someone, it's hard for her to let go easily.
"So Qingyue got drunk that day because of this?"
Cai Yanyan chuckled softly and said, "Poor best friend, I never thought that my first time falling in love would end in heartbreak."
Thinking of this, she suddenly curled her lips into a smile.
"Since you, Qingyue, can't win him over, or are too afraid to act because of your status, what about me?"
Cai Yanyan turned and walked towards the women's changing room with light and confident steps.
She never felt that she was inferior to anyone else.
In terms of family background, appearance, and ability, she is among the top tier.
In matters of the heart, she has always been proactive and decisive, striving for what she desires.
"I can steal any woman I want."
She smiled at herself in the mirror, her eyes sparkling with determination.
the other side.
It was already 6:10 when Chen Mo finished showering and changing his clothes.
He glanced at his phone; Lin Wei had sent him a WeChat message twenty minutes earlier, saying she was almost off work.
Putting away his phone, Chen Mo quickly walked out of the gym and hailed a taxi on the roadside.
The restaurant he chose was a highly-rated French restaurant on the riverside avenue across the river, with an average cost of around 500 yuan per person.
For him now, this is not a luxury.
After all, the 1.58 million yuan balance in his bank card gave him ample confidence.
The taxi moved slowly through the evening rush hour traffic. Chen Mo leaned back in his seat and touched the jewelry box in his pocket.
For him now, this gift means nothing.
But for Lin Wei, this was probably one of the most precious gifts she had ever received.
The taxi stopped on Binjiang Avenue, Chen Mo paid the fare and got out, then quickly walked towards the restaurant called "Le Jardin".
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw Lin Wei already sitting by the window, looking down at her phone.
They've already arrived.
Chen Mo pushed open the door and went in. A waiter came up to greet him and asked what was wrong. He pointed in Lin Wei's direction and walked straight over.
"Have you been waiting long?" He sat down opposite Lin Wei.
Lin Wei looked up, saw it was him, and immediately smiled, saying, "No, I just arrived ten minutes ago too."
This restaurant has a really nice ambiance; it's my first time eating at a place like this.
"I like it. I'll come here often when I have time."
Chen Mo's heart softened, and he handed over the menu, saying, "Take a look and see what you want to eat, order whatever you like."
"You order, I don't know much about French cuisine."
Lin Wei said somewhat embarrassedly, "And everything here looks so expensive."
"It's okay, it's on me today."
Chen Mo beckoned to the waiter, greeted him, and then ordered several of his signature dishes.
We also ordered a bottle of mid-priced red wine.
After the waiter left, Lin Wei asked softly, "Why did you suddenly decide to invite me to such an expensive place for dinner? Is today some special occasion?"
"It's not a special day, I'm just in a good mood."
Chen Mo took a jewelry box out of his pocket, pushed it in front of Lin Wei, and said, "This is for you."
Lin Wei paused, looking at the dark blue velvet box: "This is—"
"Open it and see, I've never given you a gift before."
Lin Wei hesitated before picking up the box and opening it.
The platinum and diamond necklace shimmered under the restaurant lights, its design exquisite yet understated—exactly the kind of necklace she would love.
She stared at the necklace for several seconds, feeling somewhat moved.
But the next second she looked up and said, "This diamond necklace must be expensive, right? You're about to quit your job, don't waste money."
"I still have this much money."
Chen Mo laughed and said, "Just tell me, do you like it or not?"
"I like it, it's very beautiful."
Lin Wei's voice softened as she said, "But it's too valuable, I can't accept it."
"Why can't we accept it?"
Chen Mo looked at her seriously and said, "Lin Wei, I used to be a lazy bum, always thinking about lying around and having no desire to make money."
But things are different now.
He paused, then continued, "Whether for myself or for you, I need to start working hard to make money."
Otherwise, how will I be able to support you in the future, and how will I help you fulfill your wishes?
Lin Wei stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.
"I know you might say later that your wish is not a burden to me."
Chen Mo spoke first: "But I'm a chauvinist. I think a man who can't provide a good life for his woman is a useless man."
"Chen Mo—"
Lin Wei shook her head and said, "I really don't need you to support me. I have a job and I can support myself."
My wish isn't for a mansion or a luxury car, it's just—to have a stable home and be with the person I love.
"Then let's work together."
Chen Mo said, "Please accept this necklace as my first gift to you. There will be more in the future."
Lin Wei bit her lip, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
How to put it? I felt touched, hesitant, and a little uneasy.
Because Chen Mo is not a rich second-generation, he is not that wealthy!
At this point, the waiter began serving the food, interrupting their conversation.
Chen Mo gestured for Lin Wei to put the necklace away first, and the two began to eat.
The meal was eaten very slowly.
After dinner, as they walked out of the restaurant together, Chen Mo asked Lin Wei to take out the necklace and said, "Let me put it on you."
"Um."
This time, Lin Wei didn't refuse and nodded gently.
Chen Mo got up and walked behind her, lifted her long hair, and wrapped the necklace around her neck.
As he fastened the clasp, his fingers inadvertently touched the skin on the back of her neck, and he felt her tremble slightly.
"alright."
Chen Mo sat back down, examined the man carefully, and smiled, "It suits you very well. Looks like I have good taste."
Lin Wei lowered her head and touched the pendant, the cool touch of the diamond coming through her fingertips.
She looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with emotion, and said, "Thank you, Chen Mo."
"No need to thank me, as long as you're happy."
"Yes, I'm happy."
Lin smiled slightly, naturally took Chen Mo's arm, and asked softly, "Tonight—are you coming to my place?"
"Forehead."
Chen Mo hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "No, I have to go back tonight, I have some things to do."
"You're already finding fault with me?"
Lin Wei was somewhat surprised and teased with a smile, "Sure enough, once a man gets something, he doesn't like it as much anymore."
"No way, I really want to go."
Chen Mo whispered in her ear, sounding aggrieved, "But something really came up. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you double next time, without taking a break in between."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei's ears instantly turned red, and she lightly punched him: "Who wants your compensation—"
Chen Mo smiled and grabbed her hand: "Let's go, I'll take you home first."
The two hailed a taxi on the roadside.
Lin Wei leaned on Chen Mo's shoulder the whole way, her fingers unconsciously stroking the necklace around her neck.
When they arrived at her apartment building, Lin Wei suddenly turned around before getting out of the car and quickly kissed Chen Mo on the cheek.
"Be careful on the way," she said, then walked into the building without looking back.
Chen Mo touched the spot where he had been kissed and couldn't help but laugh.
He told the driver to turn around and head towards his home.
I got home at 9:30.
Chen Mo opened the door and entered the house. Looking at the brand-new furniture, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
But it must be admitted that these new pieces of furniture are indeed more comfortable.
He sat on the sofa for a while, then checked his stock account on his phone.
Today, stocks in the new energy sector rose another 3.2%, and his investment of 200,000 yuan is now showing a floating profit of over 6,000 yuan.
Bond funds are relatively stable; a 300,000 yuan investment can yield tens of yuan in returns per day.
"It's time to start a new phase of my life," Chen Mo muttered to himself.
He opened his laptop and logged into the author's backend.
The data for "The Immortal Clan in the Mortal World" is still rising. The number of favorites has exceeded 220,000, and the number of readers is 93,000. It ranks first on the new book list. The comment section is bustling with activity. There are people urging for more updates, discussing the plot, and thanking Su Xiao for the recommendation.
Chen Mo glanced at the draft box; there were still eight chapters saved.
With four days until the book goes on sale next week, he plans to release twenty chapters on the day of release, so he still needs to write at least twelve more chapters.
"My goal for tonight is to finish three chapters, then I'll go to sleep."
He flexed his fingers, opened the document, and began to type with focused concentration.
At this moment, Cai Yanyan was sitting on the balcony of her villa, drinking red wine and looking through her phone's photo album.
There are several photos she secretly took at the gym today, and the people in the pictures are all Chen Mo.
"Su Xiao?"
"It seems I really need to find an opportunity to meet with them."
