34 Chapter 34 (1/2)
When Chen Kai finished speaking, Su Le's expression changed slightly. Meanwhile, Wei Chu, who was seated on the side, replied while maintaining his gentlemanly demeanour, ”Thank you for CEO Chen's reminder. But even if you hadn't reminded me, I would have still looked after her very well.”
Su Le glanced at Wei Chu from the corner of her eye and thought, Can you not go with the flow and agree so smoothly?
Chen Kai could hear his discontentment and his willingness to protect Su Le in his words. Chen Kai laughed bitterly. He wasn't sure whether he should be feeling relieved or ashamed. He was afraid that to Su Le, he was just a distant and irresponsible father, and that he didn't even have right to say those words. No wonder Wei Chu had such an attitude when speaking to him.
But he felt somewhat happy that Wei Chu treated him like that because it at least proved that Wei Chu was serious about Su Le.
”Niu Niu, all those years ago, I …” Chen Kai felt regret from the bottom of his heart. If he had stayed with Su Ruan Xiu for all those years, his life might have been much better than his current one. A successful daughter. A virtuous wife. Why was he so muddle-headed then, resulting in him ending up like this today?
Su Le had a sip of coffee. It was somewhat bitter. She smiled, unconcerned, ”I don't have the right to judge the things that happened between you and my mother. Unfortunately, you too do not have the right to look for my mother to discuss about the past either. You should carry on being a big CEO. My mother and I are currently living very well. Please do not disturb us.”
Chen Kai's lip twitched. Looking at his expressionless daughter in front of him, he didn't know what else to say.
”I still have something to do tonight, but CEO Chen is welcome to collaborate with BaiSheng in the future.” Su Le stood up and went to the counter to pay.
Wei Chu expression darkened as he looked at Su Le's back. His gaze returned to Chen Kai, who looked stunned, and said, ”Mr Chen, I should also leave now. Excuse me.”
Sitting all alone at a table, Chen Kai took out the crumpled cheque. The 'one hundred thousand' on the cheque made him shudder. He had asked around for Su Le in the past. He found out that she had graduated a bit more than a year ago before joining a joint venture company. But later on, a colleague plagiarised her work, which caused Su Le to quit and break up with someone who was a small shareholder of Zhuang Shi. She then joined a beverage company called BaiSheng. Where was Su Le going to find a hundred thousand to pay back JinChu's CEO in such a short amount of time?
Niu Niu's personality is similar to her mother's. Chen Kai sighed and put the cheque back into his pocket before making his way towards the exit slowly.

When the car reached Su Le's building, Wei Chu opened the car door for her. When Su Le got out of the car, Wei Chu suddenly said, ”Su Le, let's try it out.”
Su Le stopped moving. She turned around and looked at Wei Chu, who was still standing by the car, and raised her eyebrows, ”Try?”
Wei Chu nodded. ”Try, if I could be your boyfriend. I'm willing to be a trial boyfriend and you can set the length of time of the trial.”
”Shouldn't there be a interview first before a trial?” There were no expression on Su Le's face; it was as if she was just talking about the weather.
”I still need to take an interview when I'm already in this state?” Wei Chu asked shamelessly. ”I can drive, earn money, change the sheets and sweep the floor. I can cook and be a host. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. If you want to shop, I will accompany you to carry the bags. I am definitely a good man that people would choose in a magazine as their number one ideal man.”
Su Le was stunned. She had never thought someone like Wei Chu would ever say something like that. A second later, she started laughing and waved her hands, ”Come here.”
After taking a few large steps, Wei Chu was right in front of Su Le a. Su Le touched his chest and looked up and down like she was evaluating him, ”Hm, strong body, teeth are not bad, and good looks too.”
”I'm looking for a boyfriend, not a money-maker.” Wei Chu let Su Le evaluate him for as long as she liked. Even when Su Le verbally attacked him, he just stood there, without any anger showing on his facial expression.
Su Le was slightly moved and suddenly laughed, ”Okay.” Then she turned around and left.
Wei Chu froze as he pondered what Su Le's 'okay' meant. By the time he came to his senses, Su Le's figure was no longer in sight. He happily took out his phone and called a friend, ”Call the brothers out for a drink. My treat.”
Even a revolution would have a day where it would succeed, and now he could be considered somewhat successful. It was worth celebrating. Thank you, God.
Compared to Wei Chu's current joy, Su Le's current mood was very complex. She had already surpassed the age where she would be moved by sweet nothings. In the beginning, she did not think too deeply about Wei Chu's kindness and gentleness when treating her, but she was not so stupid that she hadn't detected anything. She didn't know what an outstanding person like Wei Chu saw in her, whom she did not consider someone great, but tt appeared that he liked her so much that he was patient with her and obeyed her.
The story of Cinderella ended when the prince found Cinderella again, so no one actually knew what their life was like afterwards. In a woman's heart, Wei Chu could be considered a prince-like figure. Su Le was not considered a Cinderella, and she was definitely not a princess.
Su Le had hesitated before, and pretended to be naive. But she was not a woman who was afraid to love or regret. It was just that she preferred to choose a man whom she could steadily spend her days with. While someone like Wei Chu could fit in with her ideal life, he was also someone who attracted many females to him.
