As Chen Wenwen listened, she couldn't help but feel sad, grieving that Beethoven and Theresa could not ultimately be together.

It's so painful, even for a pair of mandarin ducks.

When Zhao Menghua saw Chen Wenwen's moved expression and the faint tears welling up in her eyes, he was overjoyed, thinking that his gift had touched Chen Wenwen's heart.

So he pressed on, pointing to a detail on the music box: "President, look, isn't there writing on the side of the box?"

Liu Miaomiao, who was curious about the kitten next to her, glanced at it and said, "There really are words on it. It's Chen Wenwen's name."

People gasped in surprise, and some even started to jeer.

Engraving names on gifts isn't exactly a novel idea, but it's a common practice among couples.

Are Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen a couple?

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

In front of the girl's parents, he presented her with a gift that had a special meaning, and said in a gentle tone, "This is a gift that I specially had someone engrave your name on. You won't find another one like it in the whole city."

"President, may I keep this as a personal keepsake?"

Zhao Menghua went all out; this could be considered a disguised confession.

When pursuing a girl, the question "Can I pursue you?" is not the signal to fire a gun, but the clarion call of victory.

Once you've won someone over, when you ask, "Can I pursue you?", if the other person agrees, then you've succeeded.

Liu Miaomiao opened her mouth, amazed by Zhao Menghua's boldness, and then narrowed her eyes slightly to spy on Chen Wenwen's reaction.

Chen Wenwen: "...That can't be right."

Zhao Menghua: "That's... great?"

He was taken aback, not expecting Chen Wenwen to refuse.

To be honest, he didn't even say "I can pursue you," but Chen Wenwen, out of politeness, would still go along with it and say yes.

Zhao Menghua believed he was invincible, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat.

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao exchanged glances. He had thought their boss had succeeded, and that he would be in a great mood and treat them to a big meal. They were supposed to perform a scene of three people eating a whole pig.

The current situation: Not good! The feast is about to fly away!

Zhao Menghua looked embarrassed. Chen Wenwen bit her lower lip, held her right arm with her left hand, and didn't know what to say, but she insisted on refusing to accept it.

Mr. Chen tried to smooth things over again, saying to Zhao Menghua with a smile, "Your gift is too expensive, it must have cost a lot of money. It's not appropriate for my Wenwen to accept it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Menghua said unwillingly, "The name has also been written down..."

"You've misunderstood. Uncle didn't ask you to return it. I'll reimburse you for whatever you paid, but you still need to take the music box back."

Meng Hua, your kind intentions are appreciated. Next time, give Wenwen a simple gift, and she will be very happy too.

After all, a gift of a goose feather sent from afar carries great meaning, even if it's a small gift. Mr. Chen patted Zhao Menghua on the shoulder.

Since his father-in-law had said that, what could Zhao Menghua say? He said a few polite words to cover up his embarrassment, hiding all his displeasure in his eyes.

After that, eat and drink as you please.

Zhao Menghua still tried to please Mr. and Mrs. Chen, but not with the same enthusiasm as before; everyone has a temper.

Chen Wenwen didn't even glance at Zhao Menghua, and mechanically picked up peanuts with her chopsticks and ate them while sitting in her seat.

Although she was at home, her mind was in the hospital. She used her terrifying imagination to fill in the blanks and wondered what Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were doing at the hospital right now. She wished she could use the Chen family's once-in-a-lifetime ability to teleport into the ward and spy on them.

After the meal, Mr. Chen helped Mrs. Chen clear the dishes. Liu Miaomiao offered to help, but was asked to leave.

After finishing their meal, the group did not immediately say goodbye and leave. Moreover, since they had been picked up by Zhao Menghua's business car, he would need to call and send someone to take them away if they wanted to leave.

"President, I have something I'd like to say to you. Would it be convenient for us to talk privately? Let's go to your room."

Chen Wenwen felt embarrassed to embarrass Zhao Menghua in public, so she didn't refuse this time. However, when she heard that they were going to her room, she immediately refused: "Let's go to the balcony."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Menghua became even more convinced of his own conjecture and simply nodded.

With the door closed, the balcony becomes a small, soundproof room on its own.

The rain pattered against the glass outside. Chen Wenwen crossed her left arm over her right arm, looked away, and asked Zhao Menghua in a low voice what was wrong.

Seeing Chen Wenwen's slightly resistant attitude, Zhao Menghua felt a sense of disgust for no reason.

Chen Wenwen was no longer the pure and innocent white moonlight in his heart; she had already taken on the shape of Lu Mingfei.

"Chen Wenwen, do you like Lu Mingfei?" He stared intently at the club president, his words startling.

Chen Wenwen was slightly taken aback and remained silent for a long time.

She has been avoiding the question because she doesn't want to know the answer.

Even though Chen Wenwen knew the answer.

Zhao Menghua's heart sank. The feeling of being indirectly rejected was unpleasant; it was like being struck by lightning, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

In contrast, a fire of jealousy, incomprehension, and anger suddenly ignited within him.

"why?"

"..."

"Why??"

"..."

"Why!!"

Silence is favoritism, and favoritism is ambiguity.

Zhao Menghua's Dao heart was ultimately shattered, his defenses severely breached. He couldn't help but raise his voice, questioning Chen Wenwen:

"What kind of spell did Lu Mingfei cast on you? What did he do that made you so obsessed with him?!"

In Zhao Menghua's high school dating plan, he and Chen Wenwen either got together as soon as possible and enjoyed the sweetness of being a couple in love.

Either maintain an ambiguous relationship, enjoy the unspoken pleasure, and confess your feelings on graduation day.

However, Lu Mingfei interfered and ruined everything.

The key issue is that Zhao Menghua lost in a rather unclear way, so how could Xiao Tiannan accept that?

"Chen Wenwen, look me in the eyes and answer me."

In what way am I inferior to Lu Mingfei?

What's so special about him that he's a good-for-nothing who was born of a mother but raised without one? We're all more mature and stable than that Lu Mingfei guy. Don't be naive. You need to understand that sympathy and love are not the same thing.

Zhao Menghua tried his best to persuade Chen Wenwen, but he was obsessed with the idea that Chen Wenwen was just temporarily blinded by Lu Mingfei.

Even now, Zhao Menghua still refuses to admit defeat to Lu Mingfei.

If you were Chu Zihang, even if Zhao Menghua helped push him from behind, Zhao Menghua wouldn't have a problem with it.

The one thing we absolutely cannot lose to is Lu Mingfei!

How could a loser he despised and thought was hopeless win the heart of a goddess?

What was the point of his hard work from childhood to adulthood? Shouldn't the more outstanding people get more and better things?

Lu Mingfei's existence negates Zhao Menghua's existence. However, the Lu Mingfei that Zhao Menghua believes himself to be lives in the past. He is still immersed in the past.

Faced with Zhao Menghua's volatile temper and shattered Dao heart, Chen Wenwen could only leave him with silence.

Because her love for Lu Mingfei wasn't strong enough, she couldn't think of a reason.

The so-called care and liking are like a rootless flower, or as if someone has programmed her into liking Lu Mingfei out of thin air.

Chen Wenwen felt that something was missing, a very important "opportunity" was missing, and that "opportunity" had been erased out of thin air.

Unlike Chen Wenwen's silence, Zhao Menghua continued his incessant chatter until he said, "Lu Mingfei is a jinx! That's why his parents don't want him anymore! His aunt and uncle despise him like they despise a dog!"

Didn't he cause Su Xiaoqiang's car accident today?

If you ask me, Lu Mingfei should just be hit by a car and die!

"Snapped!!"

A crisp slap landed on Zhao Menghua's face.

Without warning, Chen Wenwen slapped Zhao Menghua hard across the face.

Zhao Menghua froze. He saw Chen Wenwen look up, her eyes instantly reddening, and she gritted her teeth: "I won't allow you to talk about him! I don't want him to die! We made a promise..."

Chapter 26 I may have dreamt that we were inseparable (Please continue reading)

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Wenwen herself froze, her eyes filled with confusion.

What did she and Lu Mingfei agree on?

Chen Wenwen's outburst of anger just now stemmed from Zhao Menghua's comment, "Lu Mingfei should just be hit by a car and die," which triggered Chen Wenwen's PTSD.

Before I could even react, the slap landed.

As mentioned earlier, Chen Wenwen is not as delicate as she appears; she has excellent physical strength, and correspondingly, this girl has considerable grip strength.

Zhao Menghua covered half his face, but it wasn't just that half that was red. He practically growled, "Chen Wenwen! You actually hit me for Lu Mingfei! I swear!"

With a wave of his hand.

With a whoosh, the door was kicked open.

"what you up to?!"

A furious shout interrupted Zhao Menghua's impulsive act.

It was Chen's father who arrived; the commotion Zhao Menghua had caused was impossible to ignore.

Zhao Menghua turned her head and saw Chen's father, who was furious. He stepped forward to protect his daughter and asked again in a low voice, "What were you trying to do just now?"

Chen's father was a regular at the gym. He appeared gentle and refined, and had studied Confucianism. However, he was also a Confucian scholar who believed in "winning people over with virtue." He had muscular arms and was taller than Zhao Menghua.

To protect his daughter, a father will only become more fierce and not to be trifled with than usual.

"Uncle, I..." Zhao Menghua hesitated, then turned his head and saw the members of the literary society.

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao didn't even notice when the apple fell from their hands. Liu Miaomiao chose to cover her face with her hands, prying her fingers together, pretending not to see it.

The extra in armor... ignore him.
