Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Are you worried about me? First update

"You came for the money after all, huh? What, your senior sisters aren’t willing to give you money anymore?"

Chen Wei was about to leave when a sudden remark from Zhao Xinlian stopped him in his tracks, and he sat back down. "Do you really believe that I’m just a pretty boy who lives off others’ fame and fortune?"

"Isn’t that the case?" In Zhao Xinlian’s view, the reason Shen Tianhao was so afraid of Chen Wei must be because he feared Chen Wei would tattle to Su Yumei and the others.

She hadn’t associated this matter too much with Chen Wei himself.

"No." Chen Wei shook his head. "It’s not possible, and there’s no need for me to be a pretty boy."

"Anyone else might say that, and I might believe it, but coming from you, I don’t," Zhao Xinlian thought. If Chen Wei really had no capability or need to be a pretty boy, why did he seek her out to get married in the first place?

Surely it was because those so-called senior sisters, who enjoyed role-playing, got tired of him. So he had no choice but to come to her.

Now that they were interested again, he was leaving, returning to the arms of those women, continuing role-playing, acting like a pampered favorite, but in reality a puppet, a pet pretty boy.

And when they tired of him, he would be abandoned just the same.

Thinking this, a bit of pity arose within Zhao Xinlian’s heart for Chen Wei; aside from bestowing him with good looks, Heaven hadn’t given him anything else...

Mid-thought, Zhao Xinlian was reminded of the meals Chen Wei cooked, which weren’t entirely without merit.

"I think you don’t need to degrade yourself like this. Considering our past marital relationship, I’ll give you ten thousand a month to be my personal chef, taking care of my three meals a day. I believe ten thousand is enough to live on in River City," Zhao Xinlian suggested, thinking of a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Of course, if you perform well, I’m not against the idea of raising your pay," she added.

"Sorry, but not everyone gets the chance to taste my cooking. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now." Chen Wei knew Zhao Xinlian felt sorry for him.

But he never expected that she, having grown accustomed to his cooking, had developed a sort of fixation.

Three years had passed, and both Zhao Xinlian and Chen Wei had grown accustomed to each other.

"Hey! Wait!" Zhao Xinlian quickly settled the bill and chased after him.

Keeping up with Chen Wei, she earnestly advised, "Those women will lead you to no good end. They will surely abandon you once they’re bored with you. Why hesitate when all you have to do is cook three meals a day without any other troubles?"

Seeing Chen Wei didn’t answer, Zhao Xinlian continued, "Is it because the money is too little?"

Tap, tap, tap.

Walking fast in her high heels, Zhao Xinlian moved quickly in front of Chen Wei and blocked his path. "Fifteen thousand, I’ll add another five thousand. That should be good enough, right?"

"Hiss..." Chen Wei stopped, just looking at Zhao Xinlian, saying nothing.

One second...

Two seconds...

After half a minute, Zhao Xinlian couldn’t help but ask in impatience, "Why are you looking at me like that? There’s nothing dirty on my face. Just answer my question."

"Don’t rush." Chen Wei raised a hand, continuing, "Those things you just said, were you worried about me? Were you trying to protect me?"

"Who! Who wants to protect you? Why would you say that? We’re neither relatives nor friends, why would I protect you?" Zhao Xinlian said in haste.

"Then why are you so concerned about my affairs? Weren’t you the one who wanted to cut ties with me earlier, to never deal with each other again? And now you want to hire me as your personal chef. I know women change their minds, but you’ve changed yours a bit too quickly," Chen Wei stepped closer to Zhao Xinlian.

The two of them were very close, so close that Chen Wei could faintly hear Zhao Xinlian’s breathing becoming hurried due to her nervousness.

After snapping back to reality, she recoiled like a startled rabbit, hastily taking a large step back to distance herself from Chen Wei, "You, what are you doing all of a sudden? If someone saw us, think how bad that would look!"

"Indeed," Chen Wei nodded in agreement, "It would be troublesome if they got the wrong idea and thought I was here to fight over the inheritance."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to take this job for fifteen thousand or not? If you’re not, I’ll find someone else."

"Also, I have no interest in you whatsoever, it’s just that, having been husband and wife, I don’t want to see you slaving away for others and then being discarded in the end."

Hearing Zhao Xinlian’s words, Chen Wei smirked self-deprecatingly, "Are you talking about them, or are you talking about yourself?"

"..." Zhao Xinlian.

"Perhaps, I was just born with such a fate? I appreciate President Zhao’s kind intentions, but as for the chef, you should find someone else. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you company," Chen Wei declined.

"You!" Zhao Xinlian stamped her foot in anger, her fists clenched tightly, not understanding why Chen Wei was being so stubborn.

She wanted to go after Chen Wei, but at that moment, a silver van stopped at the curb. The door opened, and a group of people got out.

Seeing their gaze fixed firmly on her, Zhao Xinlian sensed trouble and, feeling afraid, quickly quickened her pace. Forgetting all about dignity and appearance, she hurried after Chen Wei.

"Didn’t I just tell you I’m not interested in being your chef? Why are you still not letting this go?" Seeing Zhao Xinlian in front of him, gripping his arm tightly, Chen Wei said, exasperated.

But then he noticed that Zhao Xinlian seemed off, as if terrified of something.

Through her grasp on his hand, he could feel her body trembling slightly.

"Let me hide for a bit, I will repay you, please," Zhao Xinlian’s plea confirmed Chen Wei’s suspicions.

"Hide? From whom?" Chen Wei turned to look.

Five men, radiating a tough and worldly air, were running towards them.

When they were two or three meters away, they stopped and shouted, "President Zhao, we are just following orders. Please cooperate with us. You are soft and tender, and it would be a shame if you got hurt; I’m afraid He would be heartbroken."

"Who are you people, anyway? I don’t know you, and I’m not going anywhere with you. You better not mess around, or I’ll call the police!"

Chen Wei could tell that Zhao Xinlian was pretending to be calm. After all, she was just a woman, and it was normal to be scared in such a situation.

The more she spoke, the tighter she gripped his hand.

"Want me to help you?" Chen Wei offered.

"You’d help me?" Zhao Xinlian asked back.

"Money makes the world go ’round," Chen Wei said with a smile.

Zhao Xinlian’s expression turned cold, having thought that Chen Wei might have been moved by their past relationship, only to realize it was all about money. She asked again, "How much do you want?"

"These guys look pretty tough; I’ll charge you ten thousand for each one. That’s not outrageous, is it?"

"Ten thousand for one! Are you trying to rob me?" Zhao Xinlian felt like Chen Wei was extorting her, taking advantage of her desperation!

"Don’t want it, eh? Then I’ll leave?"

"Wait!" Zhao Xinlian’s grip tightened even more, "Ten thousand it is! I’ll pay, I’ll pay; isn’t that alright?"
