Su Li was his kept woman for four years. During the day, she was a dedicated secretary, and at night, she was his affectionate 'partner.'
One day, rumors spread within their circle th...
The two walked into the coffee shop downstairs, one after the other.
Shen Linfeng looked dashing in a white suit, and with his good looks, many girls turned to look at him.
He looked increasingly smug and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her, saying, "Please sit down."
"No need, I have my own hands."
Su Li pulled out a chair and sat down.
Shen Linfeng looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly recovered and sat down opposite her.
What kind of coffee would you like?
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky about food."
"It seems that you've changed quite a bit in the past four years. I remember you used to be quite a picky eater."
"We're poor now, if we keep being picky about food, we'll starve."
Shen Linfeng then asked, "I heard that you haven't been doing well these past few years since we broke up. You've been doing odd jobs at the company, and your younger brother is being fostered by your uncle. If I had known you were in this situation, I should have come back sooner."
"We've broken up, and this has nothing to do with you."
"Ah Li, I'm sorry about what happened back then. I didn't mean to break up with you."
Shen Linfeng tried to hold her hand, but she avoided it.
Su Li gently brushed a stray hair behind her ear and smiled, "I don't blame you. Anyway, we were both young back then, and my feelings for you weren't that deep. I'm not that sad about the breakup."
"Is that so?" Shen Linfeng's smile was rather forced.
After the coffee was served, Su Li scooped it up with a spoon and said casually, "Tell me about yourself. You're the young master of the Quan family. How come I didn't know that before?"
“My mother and father fell in love with each other a long time ago. I have always lived with my mother outside. In recent years, my father brought me home, but I didn’t have time to tell you at the time.”
"oh."
Seeing that she wasn't saying much, Shen Linfeng assumed she was angry with him.
“Back then, my father told me to study hard, and I thought that after I graduated abroad, I would come back to find you.”
Su Li smiled nonchalantly.
Shen Linfeng looked towards the door and suddenly waved his hand.
A delivery guy in a yellow shirt ran in and politely asked, "Hello sir, is this the bouquet and snacks you ordered?"
"It's me."
"Okay, please sign for it."
The deliveryman put the items on the table.
Seeing that the bouquet was somewhat wilted, he frowned and asked, "Why aren't these flowers at their freshest?"
The deliveryman said, "Sir, I'm sorry, it's very hot right now, and the flower shop you ordered from is quite far from here, so the journey here was inevitably affected..."
"I don't want to hear your reasons."
Shen Linfeng interrupted the other person and shook his head, "Forget it, it's not reliable to have someone like you run errands and deliver things. Next time I'll have my assistant buy them himself."
The delivery guy stood there awkwardly and embarrassed.
The other guests cast curious and strange glances at them.
He casually pulled out a few hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, saying, "Take this tip and get out of here."
"Thank you." The delivery guy turned and left.
Su Li watched this scene silently and drank her coffee.
He handed her the bouquet and a beautifully packaged box of pastries, and said with a smile, "Ah Li, you used to love roses the most, and you also loved the pastries from Yu Pin Xuan. The flowers are a bit withered, but I'll pick out better ones for you next time."
Su Li gently tapped the box of pastries with her slender fingers, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Rich Pavilion is now the top pastry brand in the entire Haicheng. This box of yours probably cost a lot of money."
"What's given to you has to be the best, of course."
Shen Linfeng placed a car key on the table. "If you like, I'll take you over there tonight to try some new dishes?"
She recognized the car with the key; it was a luxury car worth over a million.
Su Li chuckled, "No need, I don't like eating it anymore."
