Chapter 238: Chapter 145: Shen Qingying: A First Kiss is the Best Sincerity

"And this is?"

Chen Mo asked her bluntly.

’This isn’t a real blind date anyway, so I can just ask whatever I want.’

"My best friend."

Chen Shuwan replied with a smile.

But from her tone and expression, Chen Mo felt it wasn’t as simple as just "best friends."

"The friendships between women are different from you men."

"Female friends can take intimate photos together. If you men even held hands for a picture, it would be awkward."

Seeing that Chen Mo seemed a little suspicious, Chen Shuwan quickly offered an explanation.

"That’s true."

Chen Mo nodded in agreement.

But he didn’t believe a word she said.

’Their relationship is definitely not ordinary.’

Because the way she looked while chatting with the other person just now was very similar to the way Wei Luyao looked when she was with him.

"I have a relative who’s also in finance. It’s quite profitable, much more than running a physical business."

It seemed she was done talking with the other person, as Chen Shuwan took the initiative to chat with him.

"It’s alright. What area of design do you specialize in?"

"Luxury goods design."

"That’s pretty impressive."

"..."

The two of them made idle small talk.

Soon, the coffee was finished, and the snacks were gone too.

More than an hour had passed.

"So, should we call it a day?"

Chen Mo felt he couldn’t sit there any longer. He didn’t like this kind of awkward atmosphere.

"Okay. Thanks for the coffee."

Chen Shuwan seemed to have been waiting for him to say just that. She immediately stood up with a smile and thanked him.

"It’s nothing."

Chen Mo smiled. What was one cup of coffee?

’Just wait until I get that dowry back with interest!’

The two of them walked out of the coffee shop together.

Chen Mo watched as she pulled open the driver’s side door of a silver-gray Mercedes-AMG GT sports car and got in.

"I’m heading out. Bye-bye."

She lowered the passenger-side window, gave Chen Mo a smiling farewell, and then stepped on the gas, driving away from the coffee shop.

Listening as the roaring engine faded into the distance, Chen Mo also drove away from the coffee shop and returned to his villa.

"DING~"

He had just gotten back to the villa when he heard his phone ring.

He took it out of his pocket and saw it was a message from Aunt Li.

’Could it be about the blind date?’

"Chen Mo, I told you it would work out between you two!"

"Her parents just called me. The young lady said she’s very satisfied with you. She said you meet all her requirements and that she likes you a lot..."

After reading Aunt Li’s message, a thoughtful expression appeared on Chen Mo’s face.

’Alright, alright. So they’re playing me for a fool, huh?’

’She was having such a great time chatting with her female "bestie" during our date, but as soon as she gets home, she tells her parents she’s very satisfied with me?’

’And that I meet all her requirements and that she likes me a lot?’

’Even a dog wouldn’t believe that.’

"It seems this unlucky incident is all because of this woman."

Chen Mo was more or less certain now that this woman was the key figure in this whole mess.

Since she was trying to play him for a fool, there was no reason for him to hold back.

"Aunt Li, the truth is, it was love at first sight for me!"

"Since she’s also very satisfied with me, this is a mutual attraction. We’ve both found what we’re looking for."

"So I’d like to settle this as soon as possible. What do you think, should I send the betrothal gift over today, or...?"

Chen Mo started spouting complete nonsense. If she was going to be ruthless, then he would be unjust.

’Anyway, he was just in it for that 50 million dowry.’

’Besides, with his special constitution to fall back on, he had nothing to fear.’

’Just go for it, that’s all.’

Since she claimed to be so satisfied with him, he might as well speed things up.

’Send the betrothal gift over right away!’

"RING RING~"

Aunt Li seemed to have been stunned by his words and called him directly.

"Hello? Aunt Li."

Chen Mo answered the call.

"Chen Mo, is this auntie getting old? I don’t think I understand you young people anymore."

"How is it that your generation is even more efficient than we were in our time? You meet in the afternoon and you’re already talking about sending the betrothal gift by evening?"

Aunt Li’s tone was filled with astonishment and emotion.

It was as if she felt she was getting old and couldn’t keep up with the pace and rhythm of the younger generation.

"Aunt Li, this is a case of mutual love, isn’t it? The pace is bound to be different from a normal situation."

"Besides, as the man, shouldn’t I be more proactive and assertive?"

"After all, you were the one who introduced us. I can’t let you lose face!"

Chen Mo’s tone was brimming with the emotion of someone who had found his soulmate and regretted not meeting sooner.

"Perhaps this is just fate. You two kids are simply destined to be together."

"It’s true that as the man, you should be proactive. As for my face, you don’t need to worry about that. Everything depends on how you two feel. When it comes to matters of the heart, you don’t need to give face to anyone. It can’t be forced..."

"As for the betrothal gift, it’s still a bit too early, not quite appropriate. How about this, I’ll discuss it with the young lady’s parents first, and I’ll let you know when I have an update."

"Chen Mo, marriage is a serious matter. You can’t rush it, you must be prudent!"

Aunt Li, contrary to her previous stance, started urging Chen Mo not to be so hasty.

She hadn’t thought this way before, even advising Chen Mo to settle down and start a family soon.

One could only say that you had to fight magic with even stronger magic.

"Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Because he had just remembered that all his money was in his stock account.

He only had about 4.1 million left in his bank account for emergencies.

’That’s not even enough for the 5 million betrothal gift.’

’I’ll have to wait for the market to open on Monday and sell some stocks.’

’Ruilin Innovation’s stock has basically plateaued recently anyway. I might as well just liquidate my position on Monday.’

"Okay, you can count on me to handle things. That’s all for now."

After a few more words, they hung up.

"I wonder what kind of twist is coming next."

An expectant smile appeared on Chen Mo’s face.

"DING~"

Just then, his phone, which he had just set down, pinged again.

He thought it was another message from Aunt Li, but when he picked it up, he saw it was a message from Shen Qingying.
