Li Chen left the villa area and walked towards the main road.
A gust of evening wind blew, carrying a bit of chill, and he suddenly felt much more awake.
He hadn't expected to beco intimately involved with Luo Ruoling just like that.
Looking back, it felt like a dream.
The next day, while still at work, he received a ssage from Luo Ruoling.
She had left Dragon City, following the film crew to Mountain City, and her words revealed a deep reluctance to part.
Li Chen chatted with her for a while, soothing her emotions.
He said, when she returned to Kyoto, he would go see her.
Luo Ruoling soon perked up again.
She was like a young girl head over heels in love.
In the afternoon, Yuan Qingying ca over again.
Li Chen took out a book signed personally by Luo Ruoling the night before and gave it to her.
Yuan Qingying held it in her hands, her face full of smiles, so happy she couldn't close her mouth.
Pulling on Li Chen, they talked for a while, asking about so things related to his idol.
Li Chen, smiling, shared a lot.
However, he didn't ntion his intimate encounter with Luo Ruoling.
Of course, even if he had, no one would probably believe it.
Days passed by one after another.
Li Chen went about his work normally, occasionally visiting Wen Yao and Han Ling at the dical college, and sotis seeing Su Xiao.
Su Xiao had completely moved on from her last failed marriage.
Although she lived with her child and parents, the smile on her face was noticeably more frequent, and she dressed more elegantly.
Every eting left Li Chen utterly fascinated.
Li Chen gave her so money, telling her to buy whatever she wanted and not to stint herself.
The scar-removing ointnt had completely hit the market by then.
Advertisents were everywhere.
As anticipated, the sales were especially good.
As a partner, Li Chen's share was a terrifying figure, one could say he had achieved financial freedom.
Therefore, he was quite generous with his spending.
During this ti, he also saw Chen Wanqiu.
After all, the success of the scar-removing ointnt was partly due to its effectiveness, and Chen Wanqiu had also played an indispensable role.
Xiao Ya ca along with Chen Wanqiu as well.
Ever since the three had a wild ti once in the office, Chen Wanqiu had stopped being cautious at all.
The three of them had dinner together and tangled passionately in a hotel.
Through this period, Xiao Ya had also beco less shy, loosening up quite a bit, which have allowed Li Chen to enjoy the pleasures of both won.
He also saw Chen Weiwei often.
The two would dine together, shop, and watch movies, looking very much like a couple in the throes of passion.
Song Yu had also visited twice.
Ever since the last ti he helped her pay off fifty thousand yuan, Li Chen could feel that Song Yu's attitude towards him had grown much closer.
Even though he knew she was likely motivated by his money, he didn't mind.
Spending so money to win over such a beautiful woman was sothing he was willing to do.
The only slight discomfort was that Song Yu would allow him to kiss, hug, and touch her, but she was always cautious when it ca to the final step.
She said they needed to wait a bit more and get to know each other better before she could completely let go.
Li Chen was sowhat dissatisfied, but he didn't force her and let her be.
That afternoon, Song Yu ca again.
"Brother Chen, could you give so more money? I... I'm in trouble!"
Li Chen frowned. They had agreed on ten thousand yuan a month, but it hadn't been a month yet, and he had already transferred thirty thousand to Song Yu.
That didn't include the fifty thousand he had paid off for her.
"What's the matter, can't you just tell directly?"
Li Chen didn't mind spending money, but facing one money request after another was also starting to annoy him.
"I... I—it's my mom. She's not well, and it requires a lot of money, Brother Chen. Can you give a bit more? I won't take it for granted. I'll repay you, truly!"
"Brother Chen, you are the best man I've ever t. No one has ever treated as well as you have. I know that."
Seeing Li Chen's impatient expression, Song Yu lowered her head and said it out loud.
Her eyes shone with a crystalline lustre, tears swirling around.
Her face was also filled with gloom, looking pitiable and helpless.
Li Chen softened his heart as he watched her.
He wasn't the kind who overflowed with compassion, but facing Song Yu, he always found it hard to be harsh.
He picked up his phone and transferred her another ten thousand yuan.
"If you have any problems in the future, just tell directly. There's no need to hide anything. I'll help you as much as I can!"
"Just don't lie to . That's my bottom line."
Li Chen sighed deeply and said sternly.
"Brother Chen, I won't!"
"I rember all the good you've done for . I truly like you and want to stay by your side. You have to believe ."
Song Yu suddenly broke into a joyful smile, moved closer, and kissed him.
"Let's eat."
Li Chen shook his head in resignation.
During the al, Song Yu's phone rang several tis, but she did not answer it.
"Who is it? Why aren't you picking up?" Seeing her strange expression, Li Chen curiously asked.
"Oh... it's nothing, just a spam call. Brother Chen, I'm going to the restroom."
Her strange behavior caught Li Chen's attention.
He had a strong intuition that she was definitely hiding sothing from him.
After finishing the al and dropping her ho, he didn't leave imdiately.
Sure enough.
Shortly after, he saw her change into a different outfit and leave the house.
She walked to the side of the road, seed to make a phone call, and within a few minutes, a Porsche pulled up in front of her, and she got in and left.
Watching this scene, Li Chen stood rooted on the spot, emotions swirling, feelings mixed.
A bitter smile spread across his face.
Then, he rembered what Zhou Zhengping had warned him during that lunch.
All this while, he hadn't taken it seriously.
After all, soone who could stoop to secretly drugging soone was no saint.
But now, witnessing it with his own eyes, he couldn't lie to himself anymore.
Although he hadn't felt much for Song Yu, and was more infatuated with her looks and body, being deceived like this truly felt awful.
Especially since he had just believed her and transferred her another ten thousand yuan recently.
"I'm really gullible to have believed her."
Li Chen wasn't furious, just suddenly ca to a realization and smiled bitterly.
Looking back, he had spent quite a bit of money on her, only to realize that she indeed was a swindler.
Clearly blinded by lust.
A lesson learned the hard way.
Consider it money spent on a lesson learned.
Shaking his head, he pushed the chaotic thoughts to the back of his mind and stood up to leave.
Back at ho, lying in bed, he chatted with Han Yue for a while.
Han Yue's internship was almost over, and she would soon return. Recalling what happened in Kyoto, Li Chen's heart filled with anticipation.
When it was nearly ti to sleep, Song Yu sent a ssage.
It was a simple greeting.
Li Chen glanced at it, didn't reply, and casually deleted it.
Pick it up, put it down.
Unworthy people aren't worth wasting feelings on.
It's good to see things clearly.
