<h4>Chapter 631: Chapter 630, Do You Like Me?</h4>


    Xu Wendong shrugged helplessly, "This matter is veryplicated. Although there has been progress, it’s roughly equivalent to none." As he spoke, he called over the waiter, and they each ordered some dishes.


    "Can I help you with anything?" Miss Shen really wanted to contribute, after all, her family was also a victim in this matter.


    Only letting Xu Wendong investigate made her a bit uneasy.


    Xu Wendong was a bit troubled.


    He knew.


    If he expressed his desire to practice "Dual Cultivation" with Miss Shen, she might hesitate here, but she would definitely agree.


    But...


    That kind of thing, he was really embarrassed to say out loud.


    Even though he was a scoundrel and had many women around him.


    But truth be told.


    He had never said to anyone, "I want to sleep with you."


    To put it bluntly, he was a man who cared about his reputation and couldn’t say such shameless words.


    Miss Shen also noticed Xu Wendong’s concerns, so she snapped her fingers and called for the waiter, ordering two bottles of red wine.


    It was said that alcohol was the courage of cowards.


    Her purpose was very simple, to let Xu Wendong have a few more drinks, maybe then he might reveal why he was looking for her.


    Yes.


    As a smart woman, she didn’t think Xu Wendong invited her just for a simple meal.


    Soon.


    The dishes they ordered earlier were served.


    They ate and drank, chatting about interesting stories from far and wide.


    But at this moment.


    A slightly surprised voice came from the side, "Hey, Miss Shen, didn’t you say you were going home for dinner? Howe you’re here?"


    Miss Shen turned her head to see a wealthy young man in a suit and tie, wearing arge golden watch, walking over.


    Her face immediately showed a look of disdain, but she forced a smile and said, "Oh, it’s Mr. Lin. ns changed, so I’m eating outside."


    Lin Qing.


    The son of thendlord of Miss Shen’s yoga studio.


    Also, one of Miss Shen’s suitors.


    However, Miss Shen had no interest in this type of idle and unambitious person.


    "Is this gentleman a rtive of Miss Shen?" Lin Qing smiled at Xu Wendong.


    Xu Wendong put down the dining knife in his hand andughed, "Although we’re not rtives yet, we will be real rtives in the future. Miss Shen will be the mother of my son."


    As a veteran in the field of love.


    Xu Wendong couldpletely see that the person in front of him was pursuing Miss Shen, and Miss Shen was unwilling to deal with him for some reason.


    That was why he volunteered to act as her boyfriend.


    And when Xu Wendong said those words, Miss Shen’s eyes sparkled with joy, sincerely grateful for Xu Wendong pretending to be her boyfriend.


    In this way, she could get rid of Lin Qing, this persistent pest.


    Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, seemingly thinking about what kind of rtives they were, then he regainedposure and angrily said, "You little brat, are you messing with me? Damn it, can I get some guys to deal with you?"


    A cold light shed in Xu Wendong’s eyes.


    Everyone had their own bottom line.


    To him.


    His mother was his bottom line.


    Now Lin Qing’s words had deeply angered him.


    "Damn you, what are you looking at? You think I’m afraid of you, right?" Lin Qing red at Xu Wendong.


    A strong anger rose in Xu Wendong’s heart.


    But he suppressed it in the depths of his heart.


    He was now the deputy director of the Haicheng Urban nning Bureau, and if he acted out in a public ce, it would definitely attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.


    It would be different in another city or position. At worst, he wouldn’t do it anymore.


    But the situation was different now.


    Haicheng was just showing some promise, and if he got into trouble now and someone caught him, he would definitely face a lot of problems.


    It wasn’t worth the effort.


    Seeing Xu Wendong not daring to speak, Lin Qing mistakenly thought Xu Wendong was intimidated by him, a strange sense of aplishment rising in his heart.


    Then he looked at Miss Shen, angrily saying, "Miss Shen, if you don’t like me, you can directly reject me. There’s no need to be entangled with me on one hand and have a private meeting with another man here on the other!"


    "I’m entangled with you?" Miss Shen looked surprised, "Mr. Lin, do you have some misunderstanding about entanglement?"


    "Haven’t I clearly told you I have a boyfriend?"


    "Also, don’t you know that when you ask someone out for dinner and they don’t agree readily, that’s a refusal?"


    "You’re not young anymore, how do you not understand such simple reasoning?"


    Lin Qing, embarrassed and angry, said, "Fine, have it your way, have it your way!"


    "By the way."


    "If I remember correctly, our contract is about to expire, right?"


    "I can now responsibly tell you, when the lease expires, if you want to continue renting, the ground rent will increase by fifty percent."


    Miss Shen’s expression changed slightly, then she calmly said, "If that’s the case, our cooperation can only end!"


    Her yoga studio didn’t earn much money.


    If the other party increased the rent by ten percent, she could still ept it. After all, renting a ce to do business came with ground rent.


    But a direct fifty percent increase, she couldn’t afford it at all.


    But it didn’t matter.


    Haicheng was so big, she could find another ce to continue teaching.


    Lin Qing seemed to have sensed Miss Shen’s thoughts, a wicked smile appearing on his face, "Miss Shen, you might not know, my dad is the vice president of the Haicheng Business Association, and with just one word from him, you won’t find a suitable ce in the whole Haicheng."


    Xu Wendong sneered, "Can your dad really block out the sky with one hand?"


    Lin Qing, "Damn you, we’ll wait and see!"


    With that, he stomped away angrily.


    However.


    Before leaving, he gave Xu Wendong a fierce re.


    Seemingly wanting to remember his face and cause trouble for himter.


    After Lin Qing left, Xu Wendong awkwardly asked, "Should I not have pretended to be your boyfriend?"


    "I should be thanking you." Miss Shen smiled and raised her ss of red wine, "Come, I toast to you, thank you for helping mepletely get rid of Lin Qing’s harassment!"


    Xu Wendong asked curiously, "Aren’t you worried about not finding a ce to stay?"


    Miss Shen nonchntly said, "Not finding a ce isn’t a big deal. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll just find an educational institution and be a yoga teacher!"


    Xu Wendong said, "This matter arose because of me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. How about this, I’ll go with you to find a ce tomorrow."


    Miss Shen nodded, then propped her chin with one hand and smilingly asked, "Do you like me?"


    Xu Wendong’s breath hitched.


    He didn’t expect at all that Miss Shen would ask such a sharp question.


    It’s said that a gentleman admires ady.


    But as a scoundrel who neither actively pursued nor rejected nor took responsibility.


    He could never admit to liking Miss Shen.


    He cleared his throat, slightly embarrassed and said, "We’re friends, and when a friend is in trouble, I should contribute my effort. How can you say I like you? Your thoughts are too filthy!"


    "Can’t there be pure friendship between a man and a woman?"


    After he finished speaking, Xu Wendong immediately regretted it.


    Having said it to this extent, if he were to "ovee" Shen Shiwu in the future, wouldn’t he be pping his own face?
