Chapter 340: Chapter 340 I’m Going to Lose Weight

"Gu Wei, what are you up to?" Su Meixi, who had just finished showering, saw Gu Wei looking at his phone and asked.

Gu Wei replied, "My car got hit today, I’m in touch with the person responsible."

"Ah? Are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

"Of course I’m fine, otherwise how could I be here?"

"Glad you’re okay. What about the car?"

"It’s been towed to the 4S shop."

Although Su Meixi had driven before, she had rarely dealt with insurance and was only vaguely familiar with the procedure.

Su Meixi crawled over to him and wrapped her arms around him: "Who hit you?"

"A female colleague from work."

"She didn’t do it on purpose, did she? Trying to chase after you?" Su Meixi instinctively asked.

Gu Wei pulled her into his embrace and laughed, "Do you really think your husband is so charming that all the women in the world are fond of him?"

"I don’t have that much confidence, but at least you’ve got quite a bit of charm," Su Meixi said.

"But I am yours alone."

"So cheesy." She said and leaned in to kiss him.

The two of them rolled together once again.

...

The next day.

Shen Jiayi sent a WeChat message to Gu Wei to make an appointment for the damage assessment.

[Brother Wei, the damage assessment is at 11 a.m. today, are you free to come over?]

Shortly after, Gu Wei replied: [Ok.]

Shen Jiayi was thrilled and immediately responded: [Then I’ll wait for you.]

While at work today, Shen Jiayi occasionally glanced at her phone, almost reporting the wrong figures on the financial statements.

At 10:30, she promptly left the office.

Her office was on the same floor as Gu Wei’s, but several rooms away, and she was too embarrassed to call him over, so she just sent a message: [I’m about to leave, should I wait for you downstairs?]

Gu Wei replied: [No need, just wait over there.]

Shen Jiayi snickered to herself, Gu Wei was obviously being cautious now.

She took a taxi to the assessment location and waited for a while, but did not see Gu Wei. Instead, she saw Gu Wei’s secretary, Xiao Liang.

"Mr. Shen, Brother Wei asked me to come and handle this for him."

"He’s not coming?"

"How could he find the time to come? He’s been in meetings all along."

Shen Jiayi felt awkward, as if she had been played.

She wondered if Gu Wei had done it on purpose?

But she dared not say anything and just went through the compensation agreement with Xiao Liang. Once it was done, she quickly asked Xiao Liang, "Did you drive here? Do you mind giving me a lift back? My car is still under repair, and I suppose I’ll be without a vehicle for a while."

Xiao Liang hurriedly said, "I came by taxi too."

"Then let’s share a taxi back. I’ll call for one right now."

Inside the ride-hailing car, Shen Jiayi asked Xiao Liang, "Brother Wei must be quite busy now, isn’t he? Is he working on the Eastern development project, or is it something else? I see he’s been asking for financial data in that area recently."

Xiao Liang was also in his thirties and being Gu Wei’s secretary meant he wasn’t a novice in the workplace.

"How would I know about the leader’s affairs? I’m just running errands and doing odd jobs."

"Oh, I was just thinking if there’s anything I could help with. I may not know much else, but I am good with numbers."

Xiao Liang didn’t continue the conversation.

Once Xiao Liang saw Shen Jiayi getting into Liu Yong’s car on the street.

It’s normal for colleagues to carpool, but Shen Jiayi got into the passenger seat and immediately started touching up her makeup with familiarity. He absolutely didn’t believe there was nothing fishy going on.

Seeing that Xiao Liang seemed to be guarding against her, Shen Jiayi didn’t say much more.

Back in the office, she opened WeChat, looked for Gu Wei’s profile picture, and thought about what to say to him.

Brother Wei, the car insurance compensation has been settled, has Xiao Liang notified you?

Brother Wei, I’m really sorry, my crashing into your car has caused inconveniences in your life. How about I buy you a meal?

Thought better of it and deleted the draft, feeling it was too deliberate.

Seeing that it was almost time to clock out, she simply sent a message: Brother Wei, how about I treat you to lunch?

However, she discovered the message wouldn’t send; there was an exclamation mark beside it, indicating she needed to re-add him as a friend.

Gu Wei actually blocked her!

At that moment, Shen Jiayi deflated like a punctured ball.

...

Ever since becoming friends with Li Yu, the gloom from Li Hengze’s divorce had mostly dissipated.

Li Hengze had always liked mature and elegant women, and Li Yu, being divorced and having experienced betrayal, was not only mature but also exuded a unique charm.

Today, Li Hengze had arranged to have lunch with Li Yu again.

Although they often spent time together, it was limited to eating, chatting, and drinking, never confirming their relationship, not even holding hands.

After they sat down in the restaurant, Li Hengze looked over the menu.

This was a Hangzhou cuisine restaurant, which had his favorite sweet and sour fish and pork belly.

But, he was hesitating.

Back when he was with Xi Wanlin, she often reminded him to lose weight, and he naively thought that if a woman loved him, she had to love all of him.

It wasn’t until Xi Wanlin cheated with Lu Lei that he realized that being unattractive is just that, and being fat is being fat, just like the same dish, a delicately presented one could sell for twice the price, whereas a rough, cheap one is just home cooking.

"Why aren’t you ordering?" Li Yu asked him.

"You order," Li Hengze handed the menu to her.

"You do it, you’re the foodie, surely you know what’s good."

Li Hengze said, "I’m afraid of getting fat."

"Afraid of what? Aren’t you quite chubby already?" asked Li Yu.

"..." Li Hengze replied, "I’m afraid if I get fatter, I won’t be able to find a wife in the future."

Li Yu burst into laughter.

"How could you not find a wife? You’re not dependent on looks; you have money, and in the old days, just that alone could get you twenty wives."

From the tone of Li Yu’s voice, Li Hengze knew that she hadn’t fallen in love with him.

If she had, she would not be making jokes about these things.

So, he was just a companion for her to pass the time with after her divorce.

Li Yu said, "If you don’t order, then I will."

She called the waiter over and ordered five dishes, all signatures.

Though the portions of Hangzhou cuisine were small, ordering five dishes for two people was indeed a bit much.

Li Hengze asked, "Why order so much?"

Li Yu was still laughing, "I’m worried you won’t be full. Stop thinking about whether you’ll get fat or not, having your fill is what’s important."

Li Hengze suddenly felt a little sad.

Li Yu genuinely didn’t care about him; she only saw him as a friend, and that too, the plump and silly kind.

Suddenly Li Hengze said, "I’ll just have some vegetables."

"Why? You need to eat meat, otherwise you’ll be hungry."

Li Hengze petulantly replied, "I want to lose weight."

Li Yu laughed, "Lose weight? Being chubby is cute."

"Being too fat affects health."

"Don’t listen to those experts’ nonsense, we Chinese people have only managed to have enough to eat for a few decades, and here they are advocating for light food, what a loss."

"Really, being too fat increases the risk of ’three highs’, especially for someone like me," Li Hengze said.

It’s strange, whereas Xi Wanlin’s prompts to lose weight never bothered him, suddenly, in front of Li Yu, he felt his former self was too childish.
