get off work.
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue left the company together. He was going to take a walk home as usual when Zhong Tingyue stopped him and said, "I'm not going home to cook. I'll treat you to something nice today."
He asked, "You're the guest?"
“It’s to celebrate your return home,” Zhong Tingyue replied.
Chu Fang thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
He then walked away with his girlfriend, during which he shared the happy news of his marriage with Zhong Tingyue. He also complained about the strangeness of the woman's family, as well as Rong Shunji and Wei Caixia's reactions.
Zhong Tingyue listened quietly, nodding occasionally, completely satisfying his desire to share.
About half an hour later, the two stopped in front of a Western restaurant. From the outside, it was decorated in a glittering style, and the waitresses were all beautiful young ladies, so it was obviously a high-end restaurant.
Chu Fang tilted his head and gave his girlfriend a questioning look. She smiled broadly, but didn't answer his question. She strode forward, and he could only follow behind.
Zhong Tingyue gave her name to the waiter, who then led the two through the restaurant, turning left and right, until they reached a spot with an excellent view overlooking the bustling cityscape of Shanghai.
"Serve the food," Zhong Tingyue instructed the waiter after taking her seat.
The waiter nodded and left. A short while later, he returned pushing a trolley with high-quality steaks and fine red wine, exuding a strong Western dining atmosphere.
The waiter respectfully set out the plates, then lit the candle in the center, bowed slightly, and gracefully left, leaving the two of them alone in their own private world.
Zhong Tingyue knew that Chu Fang had a problem, so she interrupted him in advance, stood up, and poured him a glass of red wine, which slid down the rim of the glass.
He then poured himself a small glass, raised the goblet, and gestured to him: "Have a taste."
bite!
The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.
Seeing Chu Fang take a sip, Zhong Tingyue asked, "How does it taste?"
Chu Fang smacked his lips: "Mmm... ...sweet."
“... ..."
Her boyfriend's answers always surprised her.
Chu Fang put down his wine glass and said softly, "What's wrong with you today? Why did you invite me to dinner here? This meal must be expensive, right? Let me make it clear first, I don't have any money to pay the bill."
“I’ll pay.” Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at him, her clear, watery eyes fixed on Chu Fang, and said in a playful tone, “However, the owner of Zhonghai Mingyuan, the owner of three cars worth tens of millions, the 100% shareholder of Fangzheng Investment Co., Ltd., and a genius in the financial industry who can turn lead into gold, is it too low-key to not have money to pay the bill?”
In an instant, Zhong Tingyue saw Chu Fang's pupils dilate, his mouth slightly open, and a visible shock appear on his face.
At this moment, she felt a sense of exhilaration.
Hehe~~~
All these days of secret investigation were for the exhilarating moment when the secret was finally revealed.
No matter how much you, Chu Fang, hide, everything will be revealed under my Sun Wukong's fiery eyes.
An awkward atmosphere fell over the scene, while Zhong Tingyue swirled her wine glass, a trace of red wine clinging to the rim.
About a minute later, Chu Fang finally snapped out of his reverie, scratched the back of his head, and asked with some confusion, "Do I really have that many titles?"
Zhong Tingyue counted on her fingers: "Hmm... ...and there's a virgin who's been single for twenty-one years, a person with mental illness, and a simp for the goddess Zhong Tingyue..."
Chu Fang quickly said, "Hey, I didn't lick you."
“It’s all written clearly in your diary,” Zhong Tingyue said. “It’s not that I deliberately read your diary, but you set your password to my birthday, and I had no choice.”
"My goodness!" Upon hearing this, Chu Fang lightly patted his face. "Writing a diary is definitely not something a respectable person would do."
The diary clearly recorded the people Chu Fang had met since university, the things he had experienced, and his mental journey. After reading the diary, Zhong Tingyue completely understood him.
He was speechless and could not defend himself; it was true.
At this moment, Chu Fang didn't want to know how Zhong Tingyue discovered it. After all, he had left behind so much evidence that anyone with a slightly clear mind would have noticed it. In fact, Zhong Tingyue's only discovery today was too slow a reaction.
Zhong Tingyue parted her lips slightly: "Why did you hide it from me?"
"Hmm..." Chu Fang took a sip of red wine, the wine emboldening him, and replied, "I didn't hide anything from you. I told you the truth in many things, but you just didn't believe me. For example, that Cadillac, I've said it countless times that it's mine, but you just wouldn't believe me. You insisted that you would buy it for me when you made money in the future."
She paused, then craned her neck slightly: "So, are you still planning to buy me things after you make money in the future?"
Zhong Tingyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
Even at this moment, the young boyfriend still had the leisure to talk about cars.
I don't know whether to say he's carefree or has lost his mind.
"Then you had so many opportunities to tell me the truth, why didn't you?" Zhong Tingyue said unhurriedly. "Were you afraid that I was after your family fortune?"
Faced with the pointed question, Chu Fang remained calm and composed: "If you're willing, I can transfer half... all of it to you right now."
Zhong Tingyue shook her head: "No, you should tell me your reasons."
He thought for a moment, then made up his mind to tell the truth: "I'm scared. I'm scared that when you face the other side of me, you'll have some strange feelings and want to back down. I hope to hide myself for now and give you more time and space to get to know me. With time, you'll be more likely to accept me."
Zhong Tingyue didn't hide anything and said, "You mean I'm insecure?"
"You said it yourself, I didn't say it."
“... ..."
Are all billionaires this mischievous?
The dining table was quiet for a while, with only the surrounding noise.
Chu Fang cut a piece of beef and placed it on his girlfriend's plate, then asked, "So what are you planning to do?"
Zhong Tingyue forked the piece of beef, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, then swallowed it and took a deep breath: "I need some time to adjust."
"See, I told you you'd resist." Hearing this, Chu Fang looked like a child who had just solved a riddle, with a smug expression.
“… …” Zhong Tingyue glared at Chu Fang, who shrank back, while Zhong Tingyue said unhurriedly, “I need my own time and space to adapt. During this period, don’t stay in the Tanhua Community, and don’t come to the studio. My studio can’t afford to support a big shot like you. Do whatever you want, and don’t come looking for me.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang sighed and said, "Alright then."
Seeing her boyfriend's sorrowful face, Zhong Tingyue's most tender side was touched, and her voice softened: "I'm sorry, the responsibility for the whole thing lies with me, I need to adjust."
To be fair, Zhong Tingyue was deeply moved by Chu Fang's actions. He completely considered her situation and treated her like a wife. However, she failed to adapt to the corresponding role, which disappointed Chu Fang.
"We might not see each other for a while, let's bite our lips."
Zhong Tingyue smiled radiantly, seemingly oblivious to the guests around her, and stood up to offer a sweet kiss.
"Hehe..." Chu Fang was so happy he was almost out of his mind.
“... ..."
This is the mindset of a billionaire... ...Zhong Tingyue felt helpless about it.
