After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1064 - 563: Devoted Woman

Luo Qingchao being able to become a vice president of a listed company at such a young age is, of course, due to his intelligence and shrewdness. If any other man heard Shen Lin say this, he might not get mad on the spot, but he'd definitely be embarrassed.

But Luo, with a gentle smile, nodded and admitted his mistake, saying, "My fault, I was being presumptuous. I thought that since you divorced, that relationship must have been unhappy or a failure."

Luo Qingchao's good temper made Shen Lin admire him somewhat. Given his thick skin and ability to hide his emotions, it's no wonder he became a vice president of a listed company and amassed a fortune at such a young age.

She wasn't unreasonable; even though she didn't have much fondness for Luo Qingchao at the moment, she couldn't keep giving him the cold shoulder.

So, she softened her tone and said quite frankly, "Actually, I really regret my hasty divorce from my ex-husband. If I could, I would want to try to save that marriage."

Hearing Shen Lin's words, Luo Qingchao found it difficult to maintain his gentle smile; his expression became visibly stiff. Shen Lin's straightforward words clearly indicated she had no interest in him.

By expressing regret for her divorce in front of a blind date, she was indirectly saying she still loved her ex-husband, which was somewhat disrespectful to him, completely ignoring his feelings.

Luo Qingchao coughed twice, barely managing to control his expression, showing a bright smile as he said, "I didn't misjudge you; you are indeed a very devoted woman."

Shen Lin found his compliment quite speechless. She had made it so clear, yet he still didn't seem to want to give up. His deep scheming was indeed quite profound.

Just this point made it hard for her to develop more fondness for him.

"Actually, I've heard your relatives mention your previous marriage. They said from the start your parents were strongly opposed because he was an outsider, had no car, no house, and his job was just ordinary. You were always renting after marriage. Simply put, he couldn't give you happiness, so your parents' opposition was quite understandable. I don't understand what you have to regret about divorcing a man who couldn't make you happy."

Luo Qingchao spoke this slightly critical line with ease, which would usually be effective. Unfortunately, he had no idea that the current Chen Feng is not the same as before.

If Chen Feng was still destitute like before, Shen Lin might not have regretted it. Even if Chen Feng was slightly better than before, she wouldn't necessarily regret it.

But the fact is, Chen Feng is now much better than before, not just because he's wealthy now, but because his spirit and vigor are now far more outstanding, steady, confident, and full of mature male charm than when they were dating and when he was striving to work hard.

Thinking back to how she insisted on marrying Chen Feng against her family's opposition and spent seven or eight precious years as a woman with Chen Feng, her sunk cost was really significant.

In a situation where she thought a divorce could stop the loss in time, it turned out to be a massive loss. Her emotional and time investment over those initial seven or eight years was all in vain.

To use an analogy, she could have easily won a billion, but because she was afraid of losing, she gave up too early and ended up with no chance of breaking even.

How could she not regret?

"You only understand the surface of my relationship with him. And, some private matters between a husband and wife, besides themselves, even outsiders, including their parents, can hardly truly understand. So, please don't rashly judge my ex-husband. I'm not a deeply affectionate woman. If I was truly long-lasting in sentiment, I wouldn't have divorced in the first place."

Shen Lin said these words casually, leaving Luo Qingchao in silence for a good while.

He had already overestimated the difficulty of winning Shen Lin over, but reality showed that with conventional methods, he was almost unlikely to succeed.

This dealt a blow to his originally high self-confidence.

With other women, especially those who are divorced like her, he could usually win them over within two or three dates.

Before this, he had dated divorced women before, and none of them didn't wish to marry him, so once he took a liking, he could easily win them over.

Afterwards, he also had various ways to handle things cleanly, without affecting his good reputation in the dating scene.

From the beginning, Luo Qingchao wasn't dating with the purpose of marriage in mind; firstly, it was to appease his family's pressure to marry, and secondly, it was for fun.

The club models had long bored him, and later he realized that dating could lead him to many decent women, so he focused on finding suitable romantic prospects through dating.

This time, Shen Lin was someone he was very satisfied with. Although she'd been married and divorced, she hadn't had children yet, and from what he heard, Shen Lin hadn't dated anyone since her divorce. A woman who maintained such integrity and was so beautiful and graceful was very rare.

Therefore, he took Shen Lin very seriously, putting in a lot of effort. He even considered, if after a few months of dating, she still managed to captivate him, and he couldn't bear to let her go, he might consider settling down and marrying her.

After all, he wasn't young anymore and could fully consider marriage and children.

He hadn't thought of marriage before only because he hadn't met the right woman. Now Shen Lin made him vaguely feel that she might be the right woman for him to marry.

Unfortunately, for now, Shen Lin clearly didn't have much fondness for him.

...

Chen Feng knocked on the door of the private room and, upon hearing Lou Xiaojiao's voice inviting him in, pushed the door open.

"Wow, you really did bring a bouquet of flowers."

Lou Xiaojiao yelled in surprise upon seeing Chen Feng holding a bouquet of flowers.

Yu Xiaohui was somewhat pleasantly surprised too. Although they weren't red roses or other flowers expressing love, these beautiful blue hyacinths were impossible for her to refuse, especially since it was Chen Feng's first time giving her flowers.

"Chen Feng, thank you, I really like these flowers."

Yu Xiaohui, delighted, stood up from her seat, quickly approached Chen Feng, and eagerly took the flowers from his hands with a joyful smile on her face.

"As long as you like them, happy birthday."

Chen Feng responded with a smile.

Lou Xiaojiao, smiling on the side, asked, "Besides this bouquet of flowers, what other birthday gift did you prepare for Xiao Hui?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Feng from head to toe, noticing that he was empty-handed and that there didn't seem to be anything hidden in his pockets, prompting her to ask again, "You didn't just give this bouquet of flowers as a birthday gift, did you?"

Chen Feng wasn't embarrassed. He calmly said, "Yes, just this bouquet. It's the thought that counts the most. Besides, it's Xiao Hui herself who said not to buy any birthday gifts."

Lou Xiaojiao immediately said begrudgingly, "Since when do you listen to her? If you really listened to her, why didn't you agree when she wanted to be your woman and threw herself at you before?"
