Chapter 218 Don’t Think of Escape
Chen Liran didn't beat around the bush. He was not young anymore and he was quite interested in Tan Ling when he saw her photo.
So when Tan Ling's mother told him that he could go directly to Tan Ling, he couldn't wait to go.
After meeting her, he was even more satisfied with Tan Ling. She was good-looking and worked as a doctor in such a famous private hospital.
It suits him very well.
"Don't rush to answer, let me explain my situation first.
I work at Mu's Financial Group. My monthly salary before tax is RMB 30,000. I have a mortgage on a small three-bedroom apartment of 120 square meters in the Beijing Development Zone and I drive a BMW.
You don't need to pay back the mortgage if you marry me, the car is bought in full, and I can accept any betrothal gift as long as it is within my means.
My parents won't be coming to live with us, at least not for the next few years. If we have kids, they've promised to pay for a babysitter, and they've also said they'll come over if we need them.
These are the things I can think of for now. Please take a look and see if there is anything else you would like to know. After all, we haven't seen each other for many years. If we want to be together in the future, I should ask clearly.
Tan Ling listened quietly.
I didn't object to the practical issues he mentioned.
Adults' time is precious, so it's better to be direct and not waste each other's time.
Moreover, compared to many blind date men nowadays, Chen Liran is very gentle and sincere.
It is said that there are many weird men nowadays. They ask women to pay the mortgage but refuse to add their names to the mortgage, and they want to live with their parents-in-law. If they have children, they must quit their jobs to take care of them.
He is a good marriage material.
So she couldn't delay him.
"Chen Liran, to be honest, if I were to marry you, I would be very happy. Unfortunately, I don't have that blessing."
Chen Liran's eyes dimmed.
"What do you mean? You have a boyfriend?"
Tan Ling shook her head.
"Not really, but I've liked someone for many years, and it's almost exhausted all my energy, so I can't like anyone else.
Originally, I wanted to listen to my mother and find a good man to marry and live a good life.
But it’s not fair to the other party.”
Chen Liran thought for a while.
"You don't have a boyfriend, which means you're not with the person you like, so I have a chance, right?"
Tan Ling was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant.
Explain again: "Chen Liran, I may not be able to like someone else."
"That's hard to say. If you agree to be with me, I'm confident that you'll fall in love with me."
Tan Ling smacked her lips, not knowing how to respond.
She said it so directly, but Chen Liran didn't back down and even wanted to be with her.
Thinking of last night, Tan Ling said decisively: "I can't promise you."
Chen Liran felt a little lonely, but it quickly disappeared.
"Tan Ling, it doesn't matter if you don't agree now. I will pursue you until you agree."
Tan Ling had a headache. Why was Chen Liran so stubborn? It didn't make sense.
Finally, he could only utter, "Whatever you want!"
When the two men finished their meal and came out, a black Porsche stopped in front of them.
Tan Ling recognized this car, it belonged to Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen pushed open the car door and got out. He was wearing a royal blue suit. The neat suit had not a single wrinkle, making him look tall and handsome. His hair was also neatly groomed.
He looks like an elite.
However, they are indeed elites. Even the executives of the Mu Group are not considered elites, so who are?
She just thought Chen Liran was good-looking, but when compared with Zhou Yunshen, the difference was immediately apparent.
The two of them stood together, and her eyes were only attracted by Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen walked closer, glanced at Chen Liran, and then set his gaze on Tan Ling.
"Is this why you broke the appointment?"
His question interrupted Tan Ling's trance.
"What did you say?"
"I called you this morning and agreed to have lunch together."
"I didn't agree."
"You didn't refuse."
"You didn't give me a chance to refuse."
"So you go out to eat with other men."
"Yeah, Li Ran and I haven't seen each other for years. What's wrong with having a meal together?"
She called out like that just to annoy Zhou Yunshen.
I looked at Chen Liran apologetically, hoping he wouldn't mind.
Chen Liran didn't react much, but instead hoped that Tan Ling would call him that, as if their relationship had become closer.
Zhou Yunshen laughed mockingly.
"You're calling me that so affectionately. Is this your childhood sweetheart?"
Chen Liran stretched out his hand toward him.
"Hello, my name is Chen Liran, and I'm Tan Ling's former neighbor. We can truly be considered childhood sweethearts."
Zhou Yunshen glanced at his hand and didn't react.
Instead, he reached out and took Tan Ling's hand and rubbed it.
The eyes are ambiguous.
"You are so naughty. You were so comfortable in my bed last night, oh no, on the sofa, but you are having dinner with another man today.
What, you want to have your cake and eat it too?"
"Zhou Yunshen!"
Tan Ling's face flushed red, and she didn't dare to look at Chen Liran at all. He actually brought up that kind of thing.
He also accused her of two-timing.
Before Chen Liran had time to feel embarrassed, he was told that Tan Ling had been taken away by someone else. Then he heard Tan Ling calling that man Zhou Yunshen.
Looked over in surprise.
He works at Mushi Finance, a subsidiary of the Mushi Group.
Of course, I know Zhou Yunshen's name. His prestige in the Mu Group is second only to President Mu Yansen.
I couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Just as Chen Liran was about to find a topic to talk to Zhou Yunshen, Zhou Yunshen stuffed Tan Ling into the car, got into the driver's seat, started the car and left.
Leaving him standing there alone.
The person Tan Ling likes should be Zhou Yunshen. It can be seen from her eyes that her eyes have never left Zhou Yunshen since he appeared.
Tan Ling is really a good girl, what a pity...
However, he was convinced of his loss to someone like Zhou Yunshen.
He originally wanted to try harder, but since they had developed such an intimate relationship, he stopped getting involved.
Zhou Yunshen's face remained stern, and he didn't say where he was taking her.
Tan Ling thought that she had to go to work in the afternoon.
He cleared his throat and said, "Zhou Yunshen, please stop the car. I want to get off. I'm not as free as you. I have to go to work this afternoon."
Zhou Yunshen felt very upset, but he could do nothing about this woman.
Is he free?
In order to have lunch with her, he went to the company early to handle work and had to work overtime in the evening.
But this woman actually stood him up and went out to have dinner with another man.
He wanted to strangle her to death.
He suppressed all his anger and said, "Have lunch with me."
"I'm running out of time."
Zhou Yunshen glanced at her and finally turned the car towards the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Tan Ling tried to open the car door to get out, but it wouldn't open.
He locked it.
"Zhou Yunshen, unlock the door."
"Tan Ling, don't even think about running away."
Tan Ling was stunned.
In fact, after talking with Wenxi, she was not going to escape anymore, but her mind was still confused and needed to be sorted out.
