The surroundings were dimly lit, and there were small private rooms everywhere, with rows and rows of seats, all occupied by young men and women.

Ye Wenyu was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and her face was burning hot, like a boiled lobster. She thought that if Cai Wenchuan saw her in this state, he would definitely laugh at her.

Left with no other option, she stood there and tried to stop a waiter to ask for directions to the exit.

Just then, a tall, young man stood up from a nearby seat, gave her a strange look, and walked straight up to her. He asked, "What are you doing here?"

It was actually Lin Tingfeng!

Ye Wenyu was terrified, as if she had encountered a ghost in broad daylight. Her face turned pale, and she was completely bewildered. She thought to herself, "What a small world! I can see him everywhere!"

He was wearing a black cashmere sweater and blue jeans; it was rare to see him in casual wear. But he looked surprisingly good.

Lin Tingfeng looked up, his handsome face filled with suspicion, and continued to ask her, "I saw Xiao Cai, what are you up to?"

Xiao Cai? In his eyes, Cai Wenchuan is Xiao Cai?

Ye Wenyu was speechless, feeling like her head had been split in two!

Seeing that Ye Wenyu remained silent, Lin Tingfeng's suspicions deepened. He then looked at Cai Wenchuan and asked her, "This is a blind date venue. Who was that auntie from earlier?"

Ye Wenyu felt a burning sensation on her neck and shoulders. At this moment, even without looking in a mirror, one could tell that her face was as red as a boiled crab.

Lin Tingfeng slowly reminded him, "You're not that stupid, are you? Do you know that deep down he doesn't—"

He hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately unable to bear it!

Ye Wenyu was already in a bad mood, and now that he had been ridiculed, she couldn't help but get angry.

She abruptly looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing up not far away, gracefully looking at Lin Tingfeng and her with concern. She sneered and mocked him, "Insulting me? How much better are you yourself?!"

She's a married woman, yet she's still having affairs with other women.

This man's character is truly appalling; he's a complete womanizer.

Lin Tingfeng followed her gaze and saw the woman he had been drinking coffee with earlier. He couldn't help but smile, giving Ye Wenyu a deep look. Far from being angry, he felt a sense of joy. He slowly asked her, "What's wrong? Are you jealous seeing me with another woman? Are you feeling a little sour inside?"

"Sour grapes?" Ye Wenyu was furious, her face flushing red and then pale. She glared at him and spat, "Narcissist! Whether you're a man or a woman, if you're over thirty and still think you're a beauty, it's the most self-aware thing in the world!"

Lin Tingfeng's smile vanished, his lips twitched. She always complained that he was old. Was he really that old? She was the only woman who could ever anger him.

However, a few minutes later, he smiled slightly and replied to her, "Really? I'm not a narcissist, but I have a top-notch beauty by my side having coffee with me." As he spoke, he smiled at the beautiful woman waiting for him.

That smile was absolutely devilish!

The woman was like iron filings drawn to a magnet; she immediately stood up, dressed in her finest attire, and approached him with a smile.

Ye Wenyu felt a pang of inexplicable bitterness. She said coldly, "Do you think she's interested in you as a person? If you had no money, no status, no position, and you were almost forty, do you think any pretty woman would be interested in you? You've lived most of your life and you're still so foolish!"

Because he called her stupid, she was going to retaliate fiercely.

This time, Lin Tingfeng's smile vanished completely. Indeed, he couldn't be sure whether the woman willing to have coffee with him was after him for who he was or for his money. There was no way around it; if a man was rich and powerful, it was often difficult for him to find true love.

Just like when he was young, he was much better looking than he is now, but because of poverty and hardship, no girl ever took the initiative to like him. Reality is like a knife, it's just that cruel.

This is why he has become increasingly lonely over the years; he feels like he is living in a desert, searching and searching, but unable to find true love.

This girl's sarcasm is truly infuriating!

He was stunned, as if struck by a thunderbolt, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Ye Wenyu won the round, smiled victoriously, and walked away with a smug look on her face.

Lin Tingfeng stood there like a telephone pole, staring blankly as Ye Wenyu quickly left the coffee shop and disappeared.

The beautiful woman he was having coffee with walked up to him, smiled, and asked, "Did you run into a friend?"

Lin Tingfeng pretended not to hear. He had only come out to relax and have some coffee. The other woman was beautiful, so she was naturally a feast for the eyes. Besides, having several beautiful women with him would help him forget Ye Wenyu sooner. After all, he was a very proud man. There were plenty of fish in the sea, especially for a rich man like him. There could be a whole platoon of women willing to be with him.

That's why he's out having coffee with a pretty woman today.

I never expected to bump into this girl at the coffee shop.

Moreover, those few words from that brat plunged him into a low mood.

Seeing that Lin Tingfeng ignored her, the beautiful woman glanced at the spot where Ye Wenyu had disappeared and flattered him, saying, "You're such a beautiful young lady! Tingfeng, I hope our future children can be as pretty and elegant as her."

Will his future children look like her? Is he that old?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingfeng felt as if a spoonful of hot oil had been poured into his ears. His heart was filled with even more resentment, as if his "advanced age" and his incompatibility with Ye Wenyu were obvious to all. He glared at the speechless, idiotic woman, instantly losing all desire to be with her. Therefore, he coldly said, "You can go back now. I have other things to do." His tone was icy.

The beautiful woman hadn't expected that her overtly flattering words would instead earn her a cold shoulder and indifference from the man she admired. She realized she'd only made things worse. Feeling embarrassed, she nodded and smiled at Lin Tingfeng, saying, "Okay, keep in touch anytime. My phone is on 24/7 for you." She even made a gesture as if she were making a phone call.

If a woman doesn't like a man, she'll say things like, "My parents forbid me from going out at night, they're very strict, and my father has a bad temper." But if she likes a man, she'll practically say, "I'm an orphan."

Lin Tingfeng's face had already turned cold, and he treated her like she was invisible. The woman left awkwardly.

He walked with a stern face toward where Cai Wenchuan was sitting.

At that time, Cai Wenchuan had already called the waiter, prepared to pay the coffee bill, and was about to leave.
