Chapter 44: Chapter 44 I’m Actually Worth So Much"Just getting to know each other?" Chen Feng expressed his doubt. "What else? Did you think I was actively seeking you for financial support?" Sun Xiaorui narrowed her phoenix eyes, and although she still had a smile on her face, Chen Feng knew she was somewhat angry. "Of course not, I just thought you were trying to hit on me." That was frankly the truth. Initially, he never thought about providing financial support to anyone. It was only later, when he saw how proactive she was and since he lacked a woman by his side, added to the fact that he was close to death and had some money, that he naturally thought about providing financial support. Sun Xiaorui didn’t refuse at that time but simply raised the price; Chen Feng thought she must have considered it too. But looking at it now, it seemed he might have misunderstood her. At the very least, she hadn’t thought about being Chen Feng’s mistress, she might have wanted to be his girlfriend, legitimately. Instead, Chen Feng had no intention of asking her out and just directly offered money to support her. "If you put it that way, you’re right." Sun Xiaorui smiled and nodded, "You gave me a very good first impression. Maybe you forgot. When you were shopping for clothes, you were very focused, tried on what you liked and then just bought it. I thought you were really cool, not because you had money but because of your decisive style, which was really manly." Everyone loves compliments, Chen Feng was no exception, and he smiled, "Is that my only merit? Besides being rich, I should have other good qualities." Sun Xiaorui laughed, "Another would be that you’re quite easy on the eyes. Square face, instantly gives off an honest vibe. But your square face isn’t too stern or harsh, it’s soft and approachable; one glance and it’s clear you’re easy-going and not hard to get along with." Chen Feng touched his own face and smiled, "This should be called a rectangular face." Sun Xiaorui nodded, "Yes, square faces include both long and short types." Chen Feng laughed, "You sure know a lot." Sun Xiaorui laughed along, "I looked it up specially." Chen Feng’s words carried a teasing note, "So, because I’m handsome, rich, and have a good personality, you also took the initiative to get to know me decisively. From that perspective, you’re even more decisive than me. When it’s time to act, you act." Sun Xiaorui nodded slightly, "So far, my judgment and decision seem pretty correct, don’t they?" Chen Feng gave her a Thumb-up, genuinely praising her, "Absolutely right. You seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You weren’t wrong about the person; no misjudgment at all. I’m actually that man you’ve been searching for." Sun Xiaorui, slightly annoyed, said, "I almost believed you, until the last sentence." They looked at each other and laughed heartily. After laughing for a while, Chen Feng curiously asked, "When I suddenly said I wanted to support you financially, were you very surprised? Were you angry?" "Of course I was angry." Sun Xiaorui glared at Chen Feng, but couldn’t help laughing, "Initially, I almost slapped you, thinking, ’Do I look like I’m for sale?’ But I held back and wanted to see what price you’d put on me. So, I said 50,000. Surprisingly, you agreed. At that moment, I was somewhat moved because it was the first time I realized I was so valuable." "You are valuable." Chen Feng smiled as he hugged her, "But, I seriously suspect you were moved by my money, to be exact." Sun Xiaorui wasn’t upset and retorted, "Who doesn’t like money? Don’t you?" Chen Feng shook his head, "I’m not saying you’re greedy. I just want you to distinguish between me and my money, I am me, money is money, lest you fall in love with me." "Don’t worry about that. I’m not a sixteen-year-old girl who falls in love easily," Sun Xiaorui said confidently, and then explained, "Right now, I see you only as my sugar daddy and boss, being with you is my job. You pay me a salary every month, and I serve you faithfully every month." Chen Feng earnestly praised her, "Not bad. If all those mistresses had such a service spirit." "Go to hell!" Sun Xiaorui lightly slapped Chen Feng, then leaned into his arms, somewhat discontentedly, "I’m not a mistress. You even said yourself, you just divorced and have no girlfriend. At most, I’m your mistress." "Alright. My mistake." Chen Feng immediately corrected, "Actually, you’re also kind of my girlfriend now; it’s just that I don’t want to talk about love with women anymore, so I can only ask you to be my mistress." Sun Xiaorui asked, sympathetically, "Did your ex-wife hurt your feelings deeply, making you emotionally closed off now?" Chen Feng shook his head, "Not really. The divorce was my initiative." "What, you initiated it?" Sun Xiaorui looked astounded, "Did you disdain her? Or did she cheat? Or maybe you had a mistress, no, you probably didn’t have a mistress... right?" "None of those," Chen Feng shook his head, "Simply put, there was no love left. Life was meaningless, and it was better to let go early for both parties." "What was your ex-wife like?" Sun Xiaorui was all ears, with a gossip-hungry expression. Chen Feng, however, didn’t indulge her curiosity and flatly refused, "I don’t want to talk about her, just like you don’t want to talk about your ex-boyfriend." Sun Xiaorui pouted and said, "Who said I don’t want to talk about my ex-boyfriend? You never asked. If you had asked, I would have told you about him long ago." "Oh, now that I’ve asked, why don’t you tell me about him?" Chen Feng looked at her with a teasing smile. Sun Xiaorui hesitated for a moment before saying, "To put it simply, he was a phoenix man. He didn’t have many flaws, mainly just too selfish. He was egocentric and didn’t care much about other people’s feelings, quite chauvinistic. Whenever we were together, I always had to accommodate him. Over time, I couldn’t stand it anymore." "How long were you together?" "About four or five years." "That long?" Chen Feng was surprised. "Did you have a boyfriend before him?" "No. He was my first love. Before him, I was always a good girl, never getting too close to boys." "How did you two start dating?" "He chased me. I had just graduated and was interning at McDonald’s, and he was a year younger, still in school. Every time he came to McDonald’s, he would purposely wait to order when I was at the cashier. Eventually, I got to know him. During his junior year summer break, he even found a way to work part-time at my store, and became my coworker. I was quite touched by his efforts. Plus, he walked me home every day, and slowly, we got together. Additionally, he was quite handsome and a top student from East Sea University. I was just a junior college graduate, and inherently idolized those from prestigious universities. Mainly, I was just too young then." East Sea University is one of the top-ranked universities in the country, number one in the province. "What is he doing now?" "He works at a foreign company. His salary is around ten thousand a month." "That little?" "It’s not little; he has just started working." "Just started?" "Yes, he went to grad school." "Oh, that’s really not bad. Although grad students are pretty common these days, a grad from East University still has a lot of value." Sun Xiaorui nodded. "Yes. He’s quite capable, otherwise I wouldn’t have called him a phoenix man. He certainly has his own reasons to be proud. After we broke up, there were plenty of women chasing him. Handsome, highly educated, and with a decent job—those are his strengths." Chen Feng said with slight jealousy, "If he has so many good qualities, why did you break up with him?" Sun Xiaorui smiled. "Didn’t I just say? He’s too self-centered. Especially after joining that multinational company, he became even more arrogant, increasingly looking down on me, perhaps feeling that I, a junior college graduate, wasn’t worthy of him. Sometimes his words were very hurtful, and he often treated me like a maid, the kind who pays out of her own pocket. I definitely couldn’t stand it." Chen Feng nodded understandingly, "I see. He didn’t cherish such a good girlfriend; he’ll regret it someday." Sun Xiaorui shook her head with a wry smile, "When I brought up breaking up, he didn’t try to keep me, didn’t say a soft word, instead got somewhat enraged and said that I would regret leaving him." Hearing this, Chen Feng laughed, "Your ex-boyfriend really is full of himself, so presumptuous." Sun Xiaorui smiled bitterly, "He had the confidence when he said that, because his current job has a lot of upward potential, being technical and highly sought-after. He could possibly make a million a year in the future." Chen Feng dismissed it, "No matter how impressive he is, he’s still working for someone else." Sun Xiaorui laughed, "That’s true. He’s definitely not as impressive as you, boss." "I like hearing that. You’ve earned a reward." "How much?" "Half an hour." "Ah?" "Then one hour." "..."
