"Let's eat first." Cheng Tian Ji did not answer Zhao Wen Wen's question. Instead, he took his knife and fork and said, "I'm hungry."
Zhao Wen Wen could only look away unwillingly.
Their food was quickly served.
"Good heavens, I'm getting married." Zhao Wen Wen still said those words in the end, "This time, it's true. I want to marry Feng Man Lun."
The trident in Cheng Tian Ji's hand paused, and then continued to cut, and said: "Is that so? There must be a reason for you to choose."
"Yeah, I can't marry someone I like anyway. Then, it doesn't matter who I marry anymore, right? " Zhao Wen Wen laughed and shook his head: "Actually, there's nothing bad about a political marriage, right? If I put all my energy into my work, maybe I'll be a very famous businesswoman in the future."
"Then you don't want to walk on the stage?" Cheng Tian Ji raised his head and looked at her.
"Probably not for long." Zhao Wen Wen laughed bitterly: "I walked on the stage just for that, I won't say anymore. What are your plans for the future? Didn't you leave the organization already? You are already free! Never thought about the future? "
"Yes." Cheng Tian Ji replied, "I've thought about this question very seriously. I think the shop I used to open is pretty good, so I might as well open it up again."
"Seriously?" Zhao Wen Wen said in disbelief: "You shouldn't be short on money."
"It's alright, I'm not really lacking, but I'm not as rich as He Yi Ning." Cheng Tian Ji wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said: "Maybe I'll be richer than you."
"I want to set up a company. How about you become the executive director?" Zhao Wen Wen looked at Cheng Tian Ji with hope: "I won't interfere in the company's matters. You have the final say in everything the company does."
"No, thank you for your kind intentions." Cheng Tian Ji smiled lazily, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said: "I probably prefer to live a life without restraints. A job like the company's CEO is not suitable for me."
Zhao Wen Wen said unwillingly: "I just feel that you have never released the lives of normal people, I'm afraid that you might not be able to adapt, don't think too much, I do not have any intentions of looking down on you."
"No!" Cheng Tian Ji said with a smile: "You overthought things. I have never thought of it this way. It's just that I know myself too well. I'm just a cloud, like to wander around. Letting me take root in one place is torture. Even if I opened a shop, it was only for the sake of interest, not for the sake of earning money. All these years, I have already saved up enough money to spend for the rest of my life. Although I can't be like He Yi Ning, who is as rich and powerful as a kingdom, or have a huge network of people like Feng Man Lun, and live a normal life, there's still no problem."
Zhao Wen Wen bit her lips in dissatisfaction and said: "You only want to see Shen Qi up close right?"
"Yeah." Cheng Tian Ji did not shy away from this question.
"Do you like her?" Zhao Wen Wen finally asked: "I mean the love between males and females! It was not brotherly affection! You and her are not siblings! "
Cheng Tian Ji lowered his head and laughed: "Wenwen, you are a smart girl. Some questions can be asked, some questions ca ot be asked."Why are you doing this?"
Zhao Wen Wen immediately covered her mouth, her eyes slightly reddened, tears faintly rolling down her cheeks.
"Xiao Qi is a good girl. I'm not worthy of her." Cheng Tian Ji continued: "Similarly, I am also not worthy of you."
"No!" Zhao Wen Wen stared fixedly at Cheng Tian Ji, tightly bit his lips, and his tears nearly fell out: "You're not unworthy of me!"
Cheng Tian Ji did not speak.
"The so-called 'unworthy' is merely a method of rejection."I understand." Zhao Wen Wen lightly wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes."All these years, what have I not seen? Being pursued in the model circle was a common occurrence. Which of me, my colleagues, my friends, has not been pursued? To say that he didn't deserve it was to belittle himself, but in reality, he had cruelly rejected the other party's kind intentions. There is no such thing as an unworthy partner in love, only those who are willing or not willing."
Cheng Tian Ji stopped eating and looked at Zhao Wen Wen blandly: "Wen Wen, you're too excited."
"Yes." Zhao Wen Wen choked with sobs, "I was too agitated today. That's because after today, I might never have the chance to say those words to you again."
"Your words don't match up, or rather, your heart has belonged to someone from a long time ago!" Zhao Wen Wen choked on her sobs and said: "Perhaps this will make my heart feel a little better. At the very least, I lost to one person, and not to one person who isn't worthy of me. Shen Qi is very good, I know. I didn't have much contact with her, but I could tell she was a kind girl. It's not in vain for all of you to like her. There's naturally a reason for her to be liked by others."
"Actually, I don't have any complaints about losing to her. I just?? am not willing to accept it." Zhao Wen Wen said as tears gushed out of her eyes, "These words have been held in my heart for far too long."
"Actually, you don't have to say it." Cheng Tian Ji sighed.
"If I don't say it today, then I really won't have the chance." Zhao Wen Wen wiped away the tears on his face in a slightly embarrassed ma er, "Feng Man Lun and I should be getting engaged very soon. From then on, I am Young Master Feng's grandmother. I will never have the chance to cry to you like I did today, never have the chance to chat casually with you again. I will never ask you this question again."There's no more, there's no more opportunities like this."
"Say a big thing. Rather than saying that I don't want to lose to Shen Qi, it's better to say that my heart ached for your persistence. Even though you know there's no possibility of you being with her, you still chose to stick to it. Is it worth it? " Zhao Wen Wen's tears were welling up more and more, "Shen Qi said. You deserve a better life. I would also like to say that you deserve a woman who truly understands you. I think from Shen Qi's perspective, she also hopes that you can live, fall in love, and get married like an ordinary person? "
"I really want to hear you say this, Zhao Wen Wen, I am worthy of you. However, I fell in love with someone else first, so I can only apologize." After Zhao Wen Wen finished this sentence, he was choked with sobs.
Cheng Tian Ji still did not admit that he had fallen for Shen Qi.
Zhao Wen Wen sobbed even faster.
The people in the surrounding already looked over at them.
Cheng Tian Ji sighed, picked up a tissue and gave it to Zhao Wen Wen.
However, Zhao Wen Wen grabbed onto Cheng Tian Ji's hand and refused to let go, looking at Cheng Tian Ji with misty eyes.
"I know that there is no reason at all for falling in love with someone. Just like back then, you stole my crown. Just like when I met you at the party. Just like now, when I hold your hand and cry at you. None of this requires a reason. But to give up on a person, you need a reason." Zhao Wen Wen stared into Cheng Tian Ji's eyes, trying to discern something from the depths of his eyes.
However, Cheng Tian Ji's eyes were still calm.
The calmness caused Zhao Wen Wen to feel a wave of despair.
"Are you sure you don't want to say anything about me marrying Feng Man Lun?" Zhao Wen Wen looked at Cheng Tian Ji through his tears. She felt that she was about to lose control of his emotions.
"Like I said before, you being with him might be a good choice." Cheng Tian Ji replied slowly, "When I was in the church, I saw you struggling to get close to him. Since you've already pla ed to do this from the start, now, it can only be said that you've finally gotten what you wanted. Then, my answer is: Wenwen, I hope you can be happy."
Zhao Wen Wen immediately let go of Cheng Tian Ji's hand.
Cheng Tian Ji's hand that was holding onto the tissue suddenly stopped in mid air, as he was in a dilemma.
"I see." Zhao Wen Wen closed her eyes lightly, tears slowly sliding down her delicate face."It's my greed."
"You're right. Ever since I promised to get close to Feng Man Lun at home, my goal has been clear, and that is to marry Feng Man Lun, marry into the Feng Family, and obtain the help and support of the Feng Family. The day I became a member of the Zhao Family, I lost the right to choose. I can't complain about that. I enjoyed everything the Zhao Family provided me, wealth, status, looks, resources, and so on. In that case, I also have to pay my price for the Zhao Family. I really have nothing to complain about." Zhao Wen Wen raised her hand to wipe away the tear stains, "Cheng Tian Ji, the reason why I called you out today is to end the dream that I had as a girl, and also end my unrealistic fantasy. Thank you for refusing me so harshly. Let me not do anything that would betray the Zhao Family."
"Yes." Cheng Tian Ji nodded.
Zhao Wen Wen immediately laughed with tears flowing out of her eyes."You are really cruel to me! But that's fine."In that case, I probably wouldn't have done such a stupid thing as ru ing away from a marriage."
Zhao Wen Wen stood up and said, "Sorry, I lost control of my emotions today. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Zhao Wen Wen grabbed her bag and left without even turning her head back.
Cheng Tian Ji sat in place, let out a deep breath, and stared blankly.
Was he right to do so?
Thinking back to when Zhao Wen Wen asked him if he was in love with Shen Qi, Cheng Tian Ji seriously thought about it. He felt that he actually didn't understand what was love at all.
I used to be with those women just for the job.
Shen Qi was also once his mission.
Only now, no.
So, what is love if it is not the feeling of a mission?
Cheng Tian Ji picked up his blade and fork and continued to eat.
But as they ate and ate, these foods seemed to lose their taste and to have no taste at all.
Cheng Tian Ji put down his blade and fork once again, he picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, took out the cash and placed it on the table, then turned and left the dining hall.
Everyone in C City could be considered to have come on vacation.
Other than the fact that Fan Sheng Fan Li's body wasn't too well, the rest of them were really on vacation.
Xiaochun set up a stall at the door, specially used to sell tea.
To be honest, there really were tourists who came over to buy tea.
Thus, the whole family transformed into the owner of the tea shop and began to do small business.
