Chapter 185: Chapter 185: I’ll go too, Fourth Update

Zhao Xinlian is going on a blind date!

Chen Wei had to admit that, after learning this from Shen Tianhao, there was still an unavoidable ripple in his heart.

After all, Chen Wei and Zhao Xinlian had been intimate and once married, and to hear that she was so quick to go on a blind date with someone else...

Chen Wei gave a wry smile. He had not expected Zhao Xinlian to act so swiftly in getting rid of and forgetting him.

"Is she in such a hurry to marry herself off?" Chen Wei murmured softly.

Shen Tianhao hung up the phone and, hearing Chen Wei seemed to be saying something but not catching it, asked, "President Chen, did you say something to me? Sorry, I didn’t catch it."

"Just now, when you mentioned going on a blind date with Zhao Xinlian, is this Zhao Xinlian the same one known as the talent of River City?" Chen Wei sought confirmation.

"It’s a bit of a joke for President Chen. This is all arranged by my mother, and I really can’t refuse. You’re right, it is the talent of River City, Zhao Xinlian," Shen Tianhao affirmed.

"But I heard she’s just gotten a divorce, and she’s already going on a blind date. Aren’t you afraid of people gossiping?" Chen Wei asked again.

"Hmph," Shen Tianhao responded with a wave of his hand. "Everyone in River City knows that the Zhao Family had a live-in son-in-law who was utterly useless for three years and never even touched Zhao Xinlian’s hand. Their relationship was squeaky clean."

"I see," Chen Wei nodded, surprised at how widespread his reputation was.

"So, do you think I could come along as well?" Chen Wei inquired further.

This question shocked both Zhu Hong and Shen Tianhao.

Seeing this, Chen Wei explained, "Young Master Shen, don’t misunderstand, I mainly have a business matter to discuss with Miss Zhao. It’s on the way."

"Alright... fine," Shen Tianhao replied indifferently but still felt something was odd.

But since it was a request from Chen Wei, and Shen Tianhao was asking a favor of him, and compared to going on a blind date with Zhao Xinlian, Chen Wei was certainly the more important matter.

Shen Tianhao had to admit that he indeed had a good impression of Zhao Xinlian three years ago, and he wasn’t the only one. After all, Zhao Xinlian was not only beautiful but also smart and capable. In just a few years, she became a talent known in business circles. How could such a person not make one’s heart flutter upon meeting?

However, Zhao Xinlian had once been someone else’s wife, and now although she was divorced and rumored to be untouched by that worthless husband, remarrying her would inevitably lead to gossip.

Shen Tianhao couldn’t help but feel some resistance.

But since the Shen Family had a good relationship with the Zhao Family and it was his mother’s command, Shen Tianhao couldn’t refuse and had to choose to go to the appointment.

"Then we better get going without delay," Shen Tianhao said.

"Okay," Shen Tianhao agreed, following Chen Wei’s steps.

After a few steps, Chen Wei suddenly stopped, turned to Zhu Hong, and did not forget to say, "Tell Fifth Senior Sister that I have some urgent business to attend to, and I’ll have to skip the celebration for now. See you another day."

Zhu Hong nodded.

...

Leaving the hotel.

Chen Wei got into Shen Tianhao’s car.

The atmosphere in the car was silent. Shen Tianhao knew it was awkward but didn’t know how to start a conversation with Chen Wei.

"What’s your relationship with Zhao Xinlian? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just asking," Chen Wei tried to find a topic for conversation.

"Our families have been close for generations, starting from our grandfathers. We’ve always kept in touch and helped each other out. So, I’ve known Xinlian since we were kids. She sees me as a brother, and I’ve always treated her like a sister," Shen Tianhao answered.

"Childhood friends, huh? Then it seems to me that your marriage is very likely to happen," Chen Wei remarked.

"President Chen, stop joking. She’s always seen me as a brother and has no romantic feelings for me. If I’m not wrong, it’s probably her aunt and uncle pushing her, afraid that she can’t get over that live-in son-in-law," Shen Tianhao shook his head.

"Can’t get over him? But I’ve heard that she had nothing to do with that live-in son-in-law and was quite decisive on the day of the divorce, without any sentimentality," Chen Wei pressed on, curious to hear Shen Tianhao’s opinion.

"One might not notice when they are together for a long time, but once separated, some thoughts and feelings slowly rise to the surface," Shen Tianhao shared his view.

He added with a laugh, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion, President Chen, if you have a different view, there’s no need to take my words to heart."

"It’s just casual talk, no need to take it so seriously," Chen Wei’s tone suddenly shifted, asking, "What do you think of Zhao Xinlian then?"

"Me? I’d probably describe her as a graceful lady that any gentleman would covet," Shen Tianhao said with a smile, looking ahead, not paying attention to whatever expression might be on Chen Wei’s face at that moment.

He truly believed Chen Wei was just making conversation and didn’t think further.

Afterward, Chen Wei didn’t ask anything else.

A few more minutes passed.

The car stopped in front of a café.

After getting out, Chen Wei said to Shen Tianhao, "You go in first. Finish talking about your business, then I’ll talk to her."

"How could I do that? Why don’t you go in first and talk to her, President Chen?" Shen Tianhao modestly suggested.

"Matters of life are important, business can wait, no need to rush this moment," Chen Wei put his hand on Shen Tianhao’s back and gently pushed him.

"Then I’ll go ahead."

"Mhm," Chen Wei watched as Shen Tianhao entered the café and quickly met up with Zhao Xinlian, who was clearly dressed up with care.

In the span of three years, Chen Wei couldn’t remember a time when Zhao Xinlian dressed up especially for him.

Inside the café.

"Tianhao brother," Zhao Xinlian greeted Shen Tianhao with a slight smile, but the smile was a bit awkward.

She never thought she’d sit down one day for a matchmaking session with Shen Tianhao.

Her family had made jokes about them getting married when they grew up, but Zhao Xinlian always took that as a joke.

She had always treated Shen Tianhao like a big brother, with little to no romantic feelings involved at all.

"Xinlian, since you got married, we’ve scarcely met like this," Shen Tianhao also felt awkward.

He ordered a cup of iron-grind coffee, clenched his hands into fists, looking here and there, his brain racing to find a topic of conversation to reduce the awkwardness.

"Tianhao brother, were you also pushed into this by Uncle and Auntie?" Zhao Xinlian asked.

"Indeed," Shen Tianhao nodded, not trying to hide it.

"So for today... actually, Tianhao brother, I’ve always seen you as a brother."

"Right! I’ve always seen you as a sister too!" In the end, Shen Tianhao still felt that it wasn’t suitable for him and Zhao Xinlian to be together.

Indeed, there were some psychological reasons for that.

"Then let’s just talk normally, have something to eat and drink, and then each go our own way?" Zhao Xinlian proposed, "Afterward, we’ll tell them that rather than lovers or spouses, we prefer to continue as siblings, maintaining the status quo."

"Okay, maintain the status quo!" Shen Tianhao nodded in agreement repeatedly.

But just then, Zhao Xinlian’s complexion suddenly changed, having noticed Chen Wei seated diagonally opposite on the left.

Chen Wei! What is he doing here?

Could it be that what happened the other day led him to fantasize, and hearing that I was meeting Tianhao brother for a potential match, he rushed over to stop it?

With this thought, Zhao Xinlian’s expression changed again, her transition awkward, her gaze shifting toward Shen Tianhao, "Tianhao brother, why don’t... we try dating?"
