I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

How long will it take?

"Two or three months."

"It's not a long time," Lu Qianzi said. "Let's gossip a bit, is there still something to look forward to?"

"This situation could revert to its previous state at any time."

“That means it wasn’t completely severed, so it doesn’t count as a breakup,” Lu Qianzi said, offering a fair perspective.

If Jiang Xinhai heard this, he would definitely give her a thumbs up.

Lu Qianzi then asked, "What did your ex-girlfriend do?"

Chen Ya gave a vague answer: "We were work partners, but things developed into a romantic relationship."

"If you met someone better now, would you consider going further and achieving a happy ending?" Lu Qianzi asked with a smile.

"No," Chen Ya said. "I've never considered marriage."

Speaking of this topic, Chen Ya started to get a headache again.

Nothing in his life can stump him now.

The only thing that gave him a headache was the topic of marriage.

How to deal with this tangled mess of emotional issues is a question he will have to face for the rest of his life.

“Everyone thought that way at first, but they all turned out to be traitors in the end,” Lu Qianzi said, sitting up a little on the sofa, kicking her legs back and forth, her toes hooking her slippers. “People can’t stand being alone.”

Loneliness is eternal.

Lu Qianzi turned to him and asked, "Aren't you going to consider it? If a really, really great girl were introduced to you, and you were instantly smitten, wouldn't you consider marriage?"

"Are you going to introduce me to someone?" Chen Ya turned his head.

"Actually, the main reason I called you over here is to introduce you to someone," Lu Qianzi said.

Chen Ya felt that things were starting to get interesting.

What kind of people should we introduce?

Lu Qianzi stared at him with sparkling eyes and asked in a drawn-out voice:

"For example... what about someone like me?"

Chapter 185 He's a womanizer, that's why I have a chance!

"What do you mean?" Chen Ya asked.

Lu Qianzi paused for a moment, then said:

"It's definitely not about introducing me, it's about one of my best friends. She's a tiny bit prettier than me and her family background is a tiny bit better. Would you be interested?"

"No." Chen Ya shook his head.

"Are you so sure?" Lu Qianzi's eyes widened.

"Because I have already met my Mona Lisa."

To be precise, the word "们" should be added after "Mona Lisa".

Lu Qianzi's eyes darted around, and she asked:

"So you still like that ex-girlfriend, right? Then why don't you get back together? Be careful, if you drag this out, it might really break up."

"No, actually I have a few other relationships that I've been in, and I haven't decided which one to choose yet."

Chen Ya leaned back on the sofa and peeled an orange for himself.

"I didn't expect you to have such a rich love life."

Lu Qianzi took the orange he offered and put it in her mouth.

"So-so."

Lu Qianzi got up and, pretending to be casual, skipped and hopped. She skipped and hopped until she reached the kitchen.

Then he leaned close to Lu Ruixiang's ear and whispered:

"He has a girlfriend with whom he has an on-and-off relationship."

Chen Sheng turned down the heat and came closer, asking, "Huh?"

"What 'huh'? Go cook your dishes." Lu Ruixiang frowned and slapped his arm, sending him flying back.

She then asked Lu Qianzi, "What kind of girlfriend do you want? Have you asked her yet?"

"Didn't I ask? Is it important?"

"Of course it's important. The background of the woman is incomparable to that of an average family, so they'll definitely ask about her family background. If he's dating a factory worker or a bar girl, wouldn't his success rate increase significantly?"

Lu Qianzi said blankly, "I think this kind of thing... mainly depends on feelings, right?"

"Sigh, all this talk about feelings. We're all grown up now. When we were young, we didn't understand things and valued relationships too much. Once we've been through the ups and downs of life, we'll all change." Lu Ruixiang sighed.

After saying that, she gestured with her mouth towards Chen Sheng's retreating figure and added:

"Besides, marriage isn't just about feelings. Feelings are built on a material foundation. Look at your dad, he married into my family because of our financial situation, but do you see no feelings between him and me?"

She slapped Chen Sheng on the back: "Isn't that right, Lao Chen?"

Chen Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, good conditions and good feelings, this is what the happiest marriage looks like..."

He was sweating profusely, whether from the heat of the cooking fire or from cold sweat, it was hard to tell.

“Go ask him again. It’s a win-win situation. We’re not indebted to him. If it works out, it’ll be good for him too, right? Your parents absolutely don’t mean to wrong him, so why feel embarrassed? Don’t feel guilty…”

Lu Ruixiang offered some words of comfort to her daughter.

Lu Qianzi lowered her head and said, "Oh..."

Stepping out of the kitchen, Lu Qianzi's face regained its usual smile, and she sat down sideways next to Chen Ya.

"What does your girlfriend do?"

Chen Ya sat upright, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"If I were to describe my current state, I would say I'm unemployed and staying at home."

"Fu...Fu what? Fuxian? Does it mean unemployed?"

"Ah."

"What about before? What did you do before?"

"I guess you could say I'm in the entertainment industry."

"actor?"

“No, a singer,” Chen Ya said.

Lu Qianzi rushed into the kitchen nervously and whispered:

"His girlfriend is a celebrity! A singer!"

Lu Ruixiang frowned at her: "Look at you, making such a fuss. What celebrity or singer? How could he possibly find a singer as a girlfriend?"

Lu Qianzi's eyes widened: "Maybe it's because of love?"

"Tch," the mother almost laughed, "If she were a real star singer, why would she date an ordinary person?"

Lu Qianzi pouted, her expression clearly saying, "I'm not convinced."

Lu Ruixiang patted Chen's father, who was busy cooking next to her, and asked, "How much does your eldest son earn?"

"Five or six thousand."

"How many???"

"Five or six thousand!"

“Look at this,” Lu Ruixiang turned to look at Lu Qianzi, “this salary isn’t even as much as your allowance. Do you think you can find a girlfriend who’s a singer?”

Lu Qianzi was persuaded a little.

This salary is indeed too low.

Living in Beijing is definitely not enough.

Lu Ruixiang said earnestly:

"What kind of place is the entertainment industry? It's the ultimate arena of fame and fortune. They're all used to big occasions, proud and difficult to please. If they're not exactly snobbish, they're definitely extremely materialistic. They would never date an ordinary guy with a monthly salary of five or six thousand."

Lu Qianzi pursed her lips and said, "That's not necessarily true. Jiang Xinhai and Xu Xiangxiao, both of whom are at the top of the entertainment industry, have always maintained a clean reputation."

"Hehe, who is her boyfriend?"

Lu Qianzi placed her hand on her chest, her expression solemn: "He's my idol, JX."

"That settles it then. How many JXs are there in the world? You can't use exceptions to attack my point of view."

That makes sense.

Lu Qianzi was finally persuaded.

"Then why did he say his girlfriend is a singer?"

Lu Qianzi felt that Chen Ya was speaking seriously and didn't seem like the kind of person who just talked nonsense.

The mother glanced out of the kitchen and whispered:

“Boys from the village are all sensitive and insecure. They’re afraid of being looked down upon. If a girl sings at a bar, they’re called a singer; if her family owns a breakfast shop, they’re called a family business; if she has a few thousand followers on Weibo, they’re called an internet celebrity; if she doesn’t have a job and just stays at home, they’re praised as a rich heiress. I’ve noticed this in your dad.”

"Oh, I see."

"Didn't he say his girlfriend is a singer? Why don't you ask him for an autographed photo and see if he can produce one? I guarantee he won't."

"Oh……"

"Therefore, investigate further and report back!"

When Lu Qianzi came out of the kitchen for the second time and sat down next to Chen Ya in the same position, even someone with a blockhead should have sensed something was wrong.

But Chen Ya calmly sipped his tea and watched the show. "I'm just waiting for you to make your move."

"Your girlfriend is a singer. Do you have a picture of her? I might even know her."

Chen Ya, of course, wouldn't reveal Jiang Xinhai's identity: "No."

"Impossible! Don't be shy, if you don't want to give it, just say you don't want to. How could you not have photos of your girlfriend?"

"I deleted them all when we broke up."

Lu Qianzi adjusted her posture: "That's perfect, why don't you use the excuse of asking her for a photo to take the opportunity to get back together with her?"

"Actually, I haven't thought it through," Chen Ya said. "I still have several girlfriends, and I find it hard to let go of any of them."

"Oh? And who are they?"

"One of them is running a family business."

"puff!"

Lu Qianzi had just taken a sip of water when she spat it out.

"what happened to you?"

“It’s nothing,” Lu Qianzi put down her water glass, wiped her mouth, and said, “You can continue.”

"Another one is an internet celebrity."

"Hmm," Lu Qianzi suppressed a laugh, "Is there another rich young lady?"

"Strictly speaking, that internet celebrity is a rich heiress."

"Ok."

It seems Chen Ya has had three girlfriends.
