Chen Dong looked at Li Xiaoman with some confusion. "What, is there something on my face?"
"No, there's a flower in your heart!" Li Xiaoman saw Shuai Shuai looking a little confused and couldn't help but playfully blurt out this sentence.
"Why do I feel this way..." Chen Dong was even more puzzled. He hadn't expected that Li Xiaoman, who had seemed quite formal just now, would suddenly change again, as if she were teasing him.
Li Xiaoman would not have told him these things before the trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
However, after that, the distance between the two of them seemed to shrink considerably.
Often, things that we wouldn't have said before now seem less abrupt and more natural when spoken.
He started to say something, then suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean I'm a womanizer? Haha, you're absolutely right. But I'm working on reforming myself and turning over a new leaf."
"Really?" Li Xiaoman's face showed disbelief.
"Heh, yeah. But it seems you don't believe me." Chen Dong's face darkened. "That's right, I've become infamous."
"Hehe, you're right," Li Xiaoman teased.
Hearing this, Chen Dong's playful side emerged, and he said, half-jokingly, "Actually, I've been trying very hard to change, but you all have too many misunderstandings about me. However, I'd like to ask you, do you think I should be more focused or more fickle?"
Upon hearing Chen Dong's question, Li Xiaoman was taken aback. Yes, what exactly did she want from Chen Dong?
If he remains chaste and stops being unfaithful, it means I have no chance.
If he is also a womanizer, then I might still have a glimmer of hope.
However, even if he were to be unfaithful, he could only be unfaithful to himself, and not to other women.
The saying "love turns to thin when it is at its deepest" illustrates this point.
If Chen Dong is only devoted to Zhou Huimin, then of course I have no chance. But if he is promiscuous, then I will be unhappy.
Sigh, people are just so contradictory sometimes.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoman couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly and sigh softly.
"Chen Sheng, tell me, wouldn't it be wonderful if you could be a womanizer sometimes and a faithful one at other times?"
Chen Dong was taken aback, unsure how to respond to her seemingly random remark.
In that instant, he understood Li Xiaoman's meaning and realized her feelings for him.
However, faced with Li Xiaoman's deep affection, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Actually, no matter what nice things you say, if you can't accept her feelings, it's nothing to be happy about for her.
However, there was a huge obstacle between him and Li Xiaoman.
Not only their own hurdle, but also Zhou Huimin's, means that Anne and Julia won't be particularly happy either.
In particular, Vivian Chow suffered a great shock after being kidnapped in Madrid, Spain. Although she was rescued in time, she was mentally affected and developed neurasthenia.
In the beginning, she seemed completely lost, whether it was day or night.
Later, with dedicated treatment and the meticulous care of her family, herself, and Annie, her condition improved considerably.
However, compared to before, she feels much less secure now.
She was originally an introverted, sensitive, and easily moved by external things, often shedding tears unconsciously.
After that incident, her situation became even more frequent.
Although she seemed much more normal during the day, she still often woke up from nightmares at night.
Therefore, Chen Dong had to make a special effort to spend time with her, take care of her, and let her feel his concern.
Perhaps the treatment really worked, because her physical and mental condition has improved a lot lately.
This put Chen Dong at ease, allowing him to focus on many things.
However, while she wouldn't deliberately check her whereabouts, she would pay attention to them and want me to spend more time with her.
Chen Dong didn't find this annoying at all, nor did he have any intention of blaming Zhou Huimin; on the contrary, he only felt pity for her.
However, this situation did bring him a lot of inconvenience.
Although her calls sometimes made him feel awkward when he was discussing business or connecting with friends or business partners, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, despite their teasing about him being a "henpecked husband," he would promptly return to be with her.
However, he felt particularly heartbroken whenever he saw Zhou Huimin suffering such torment.
Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, or when he sees a vibrant, optimistic girl, Chen Dong's heart aches, and he feels a surge of sadness and guilt, blaming himself for not taking good care of her.
How could his own woman be hurt like this!
By this time, his hatred for the Freemasons had intensified.
He decided that he must get revenge.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this financial operation in South America.
Because he learned from his later experience that many hedge funds, such as Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund, as well as many large banks that support them, such as Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers, have Freemason backgrounds.
What I'm doing now is taking meat from these institutions' bowls, and for every extra penny I earn, the other party earns one less.
