Chapter 23 Is there really anyone who likes Shen Feifei...?
Shen Feifei has been riding motorcycles for so many years, but he never knew that motorcycles could be driven by designated drivers.
But Tian Xuzhen called a motorcycle driver for her.
As expected of the all-powerful Assistant Tian.
Because it was close to the mall's closing time, Zhou Shilin specifically asked the driver to take the car to the nearest mall. When the car stopped outside the mall, there was still half an hour before closing time.
It seems this shopping mall is having some kind of event today; even at this hour, there are still quite a few people. Zhou Shilin and Shen Feifei didn't bother to join the fun and went straight into a women's clothing store.
"Good evening, both of you." The saleswoman greeted Zhou Shilin warmly and approached him. "What would you like to buy? We just received our new autumn collection."
Shen Feifei was a little confused. In such hot weather, who would buy autumn clothes?
Zhou Shilin glanced around the store and said to the saleswoman in front of him, "Recommend some items for her, according to her style."
"Okay." The saleswoman smiled at Shen Feifei. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with ankle boots on her feet. She looked very neat and capable. "Hello, ma'am, you usually prefer simpler styles, right?"
"Hmm." Shen Feifei nodded and looked around the store. "But I only need summer clothes. Do you have any T-shirts?"
"Yes, over here." The saleswoman led her a few steps inside, took two shirts from the display case, and handed them to her. "What do you think of these two? They're both simple designs, and they'll look great with any jeans."
Shen Feifei took a look and found that they were indeed all relatively basic styles, with no complicated prints on the clothes, only a simple brand logo.
Bunny.
Shen Feifei took the black dress from the saleswoman and looked at the tag on it.
A T-shirt costs over five thousand yuan?!
The clothes she's wearing cost 100 yuan for three pieces.
She silently returned the T-shirt to the sales assistant and then took another off-white one.
This T-shirt only has the brand logo, but it's the kind with a small floral print all over it.
This one is more expensive, costing over seven thousand yuan.
She returned the dress to the saleswoman, turned around and walked to Zhou Shilin's side, lowering her voice to say to him, "I think she took out the most expensive clothes in the store because she saw that you were dressed too well, just to rip you off."
Zhou Shilin said, "The clothes here are priced like this. Just choose what you like."
"..." Is this something she could like?
The saleswoman seemed to have read her mind, but didn't say anything. She simply took the T-shirt and walked back to her, even more enthusiastic than before: "Madam, you can only see the effect of clothes when you wear them. Why don't you try it on?"
"I think it's better not to..." But if she tries it, I'll definitely make her buy it.
Unfortunately, Zhou Shilin agreed with the saleswoman: "Since we're already here, let's give it a try."
"..." Shen Feifei was holding two T-shirts and was practically pushed into the fitting room by the saleswoman.
She first put on the black one, and it definitely looked better on her than her cheap T-shirt. And, whether it was her imagination or not, the logo on the chest seemed to be shining.
It's all about the brilliance of money.
"You look great in it. This T-shirt has a simple design and is very comfortable to wear. It's perfect for you."
“But I think…” Shen Feifei started picking out flaws in the clothes, “Wouldn’t it be too hot to wear black in the summer?”
"Would you like to try the milky white one?" the saleswoman replied quickly.
Shen Feifei: "..."
If a milky white one costs 7,000 yuan, it will definitely absorb more heat than a black one.
Zhou Shilin looked at the T-shirt she was wearing and said to her, "It looks pretty good on you. Do you like it?"
"I wouldn't say I dislike it..."
"Then let's take this one."
"Okay!" The saleswoman looked at Shen Feifei warmly. "I see your clothes are dirty. I'll cut off the tags for you and you can wear them directly."
The saleswoman worked incredibly fast, quickly completing everything and neatly folding Shen Feifei's dirty clothes, putting them in a paper bag, and handing it to her: "Welcome to visit again!"
Shen Feifei: "..."
Sitting in Zhou Shilin's car, Shen Feifei was still looking down at her clothes. Zhou Shilin caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable wearing these?"
"No, it's very comfortable." Shen Feifei held the paper bag containing her clothes in her hand and said slowly, "It just feels too expensive. Apart from my father, you are the first man to spend so much money on me."
Tian Xu in the front row: "..."
His feelings were just as complicated as Shen Feifei's. He had initially worried that the CEO liked Chen Ci, but now it seemed that his feelings for Shen Feifei weren't innocent either! Could it be that their CEO had feelings for both of them?
Zhou Shilin said, "It's just a T-shirt, nothing special."
Shen Feifei knew he was very rich, but being rich and being willing to spend money on you are two different things. She was silent for a moment, then called out to him, "President Zhou."
"Um?"
"Are you being so nice to me because I'm Chen Ci's older sister?"
Zhou Shilin's eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at her: "Why do you think that?"
Shen Feifei pursed her lips slightly. She was usually decisive and efficient, and rarely showed such an expression: "I have never been likable since I was a child. Even my mother disliked me very much."
The car fell silent. Even Tian Xu in the front seat was affected by these words and lowered his breathing.
As the traffic light turned red at the intersection ahead, Zhou Shilin's voice rang out from inside the car: "You are a very good person, and you deserve to be treated well by others."
Shen Feifei paused for a moment, then turned away without saying anything more.
The car arrived at the residential area where Chen Ci lived, and Shen Feifei got out of the car carrying Bunny's paper bag. After she left, Zhou Shilin's car turned around and then slowly drove forward in the quiet night.
Sitting in the car, Tian Xu hesitated for a while but couldn't hold back any longer: "President, may I ask you a personal question?"
Zhou Shilin leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. Usually, Tian Xu wouldn't talk to him at times like this, so it seemed he really wanted to ask this question: "Ask."
"So, between Chen Ci and Shen Feifei, who do you... prefer?" Tian Xu asked this question tactfully.
Zhou Shilin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on him: "And you? Who do you prefer?"
"..." Nobody cares who he likes!
"Well, I think they each have their own strengths, but you can't like them both, right?" Tian Xu laughed twice after saying that, trying to soften his tone.
Zhou Shilin lowered his eyes, seemingly chuckled softly, and after a while he spoke, "What if there aren't two of them?"
Tian Xu: "..."
When he said they were fake twins, you were the first to object!
"Didn't you say they weren't acting?"
“I said Shen Feifei wasn’t played by Shen Ci, but I didn’t say they weren’t the same person.”
"..." You're putting yourself in a difficult position. "But you and Mr. Wu have confirmed that they are indeed twins."
Zhou Shilin looked out the window and slowly said, "Think carefully about the conversation that day. President Wu never said they were twins."
Tian Xu: "..."
If that's the case, Mr. Wu didn't say it, but he didn't deny it either!
"Then what's going on?" Tian Xu was completely baffled. "It can't be a split personality, can it?"
...Wait, could it really be a split personality??
Zhou Shilin was still looking at the night outside the window when he said in a very soft voice, "I don't know either, I'm just guessing."
He had thought about this question the day Zhou Mingye asked him who he really liked.
Shen Ci and Shen Feifei look completely different, but they share the same underlying qualities, which is what attracts him.
Although he has never been in a relationship, he doesn't think he could simultaneously develop feelings for two people with very different personalities.
Shen Ci and Shen Feifei have never appeared together.
On the other side, Chen Ci sat in front of the dressing mirror and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the Bunny T-shirt she was wearing.
"..." Help! Where did this T-shirt come from?! Did Shen Feifei buy it?!
She quickly picked up the notebook on the table, and the first sentence she wrote was: "The T-shirt was bought by President Zhou, so don't worry."
"..." Okay, she's not worried anymore.
Why would Mr. Zhou buy her such an expensive T-shirt?
"Today, while I was eating at Uncle Li's restaurant, I shielded Mr. Zhou from a bottle of soda that was thrown at me, which soiled my clothes. So Mr. Zhou said he would compensate me with a new shirt."
Chen Ci: "..."
If she remembered correctly, the most expensive T-shirt in Shen Feifei's wardrobe cost only a little over a hundred yuan, and the cheapest ones could be bought for a hundred yuan each, with three of them being cheap.
Bunny's T-shirts cost over a thousand dollars.
“I also felt the clothes were too expensive, so I asked Mr. Zhou if he was being so nice to me because I am his ‘older sister’? Mr. Zhou replied that I am a very good person and deserve to be treated well by others.”
Chen Ci unconsciously tightened her grip on the notebook.
"Does he mean it's not because of who I am, but because I deserve his kindness? But does anyone really like Shen Feifei?"
Chen Ci squeezed the notebook in her hand tighter, then closed it and stuffed it into the drawer.
Her heart was pounding, and she tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't. She picked up her phone, found Dr. Zhang's contact information, and sent him a message: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, Dr. Zhang, but I'd like to schedule a psychological consultation at the last minute, is that alright?"
Over the years, Chen Ci has been regularly seeing Dr. Zhang because her condition has been very stable. She even feels that there is no problem even if she doesn't seek treatment.
But ever since he crashed into Zhou Shilin's Rolls-Royce, everything seems to have changed in the shadows.
Dr. Zhang messaged her shortly after: "What's wrong? Has there been any change in your condition?"
Chenci: Hmm.
Dr. Zhang: Then come see me after you get off work tomorrow night. I'll leave a little later.
Chen Ci: Thank you for your help, Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Zhang: No trouble at all, I'll charge you overtime pay.
Chen Ci: "..."
Having known Dr. Zhang for so many years, she should have known what kind of person he was long ago.
Chenci: Okay. ^_^
Dr. Zhang: I know that your smiling face is an insult to me, and a pretty vulgar one at that.
Sinking porcelain: That's not true. ^_^
Dr. Zhang: I'm your doctor, you can't hide it from me. [Smile]
Chen Ci: "..."
Dr. Zhang, your smile isn't clean either!
After finishing my conversation with Dr. Zhang, my phone vibrated again; this time it was Zhou Mingye.
Zhou Mingye: Heroine, do you know that my brother and your sister went out for crayfish tonight?
Chen Ci: "..."
She held her phone and began typing a message: "According to your logic, the one who goes out to eat crayfish with your brother is the heroine."
Zhou Mingye: ...That's not important. What's important is that he was asking you out while also asking out your sister! I never would have guessed that such a upright person like him had gone astray!
Chen Ci: "..."
Chenci: How did you know they went to eat crayfish?
Zhou Mingye: I saw Assistant Tian's post on WeChat Moments! He said this restaurant is delicious, and only those in City A who know the ropes can find it!
Chen Ci: "..."
How could Assistant Tian plagiarize her work?
Zhou Mingye: After asking carefully, I found out that it was my brother and your sister who ate it together!
Chen Ci: Hmm... I was going to go too, but I didn't because I had an upset stomach.
Zhou Mingye: ...Why didn't you invite me to your get-together? Even Assistant Tian went!
Chenci: Next time for sure.
Zhou Mingye:......
"Next time" definitely means there will be no next time!
He snorted and put his phone aside, while Chen Ci, still holding the phone, opened her chat with Zhou Shilin.
She stared at the chat box for a long time, wanting to ask him something, but in the end she said nothing and locked her phone.
The next day after get off work, Chen Ci went to see Dr. Zhang on time.
Knowing she was coming, the receptionist led her directly to Dr. Zhang's consultation room.
Chen Ci was already very familiar with this place. She walked to the chair, sat down, and smiled at Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Zhang looked at her for a while before saying, "You look quite well; you don't seem to be in serious condition."
Chen Ci looked at him and said, "I said my condition had changed, but I didn't say it had become serious."
"..." If it's not serious, why are you in such a hurry to come here? Dr. Zhang picked up the water glass beside him, took a sip, and then poured a glass of water for Chen Ci as well: "If it's not serious, then it's healed?"
“…No, not really.” Chen Ci watched as he slowly filled the empty cup with water, and her mood gradually relaxed. “I don’t know if it’s gotten better or worse.”
Dr. Zhang nodded slightly, put down the kettle, and sat down opposite Shen Ci: "Then tell me what caused the change in you."
After a moment of silence, Chen Ci said, "A man."
-----------------------
Author's Note: Hello everyone, because this story involves two completely different personalities of the female protagonist, I will explain from the beginning why she became this way, what her illness is, and how it will be resolved.
These are the core settings of the story, influencing its overall direction. I just didn't expect to be criticized before I even got to this point. [Clown]
I hope everyone can understand that the female lead is just sick; she doesn't actually have two people in the real sense, and the male lead won't be two-timing her.
I don't want to spoil too much, so I'll stop here. I'll be writing about this part of the plot soon, so I hope you can be a little more patient. [Rose]
