I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 293 It’s Hardest to Accept the Favor of a Beauty
Next, while Shen Yanfei accompanied Zhou Rong to choose clothes, Shen Zong kept inquiring about Wei Lin's situation.

Mainly on the economic level.

He asked Wei Lin where his company was located, how many employees he had, where he bought his house, and how many houses he owned.

Wei Lin was quite helpless, but he still had to put on a smiling face, after all, this was his brother-in-law.

Shen Zong completely changed how he addressed him, calling him "brother-in-law" in an incredibly affectionate way.

Wei Lin was a little overwhelmed, and before Zhou Rong could finish buying Qing Que's clothes, he made up an excuse and slipped away.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't go! Let's talk some more!"

Shen Zong called out from behind him.

Sun Lulu, who had just bought a new set of Qingque sportswear, came out of the locker room beaming with joy. When she heard him call Wei Lin "brother-in-law," she asked in surprise, "Shen Zong, why are you calling him brother-in-law?"

"Because he's my brother-in-law!" Shen Zong smiled brightly and said mysteriously, "My sister lied to me, this brother-in-law is very rich! With him around, we definitely won't have to worry about our marriage!"

"Huh?" Sun Lulu exclaimed softly, "What do you mean?"

"He's not some lowly employee at all; he owns his own company!" Shen Zong said proudly, pointing to the Qingque display area and laughing, "The Qingque brand belongs to my brother-in-law!"

Sun Lulu was immediately stunned.

"When I get home tonight, I'll tell my parents about it and tell them that my sister's new boyfriend is much more financially successful than her previous boyfriends!" Shen Zong was full of anticipation, already looking forward to how his life would change dramatically after having Wei Lin as his brother-in-law.

"Perhaps I could work at my brother-in-law's company. He wouldn't treat his brother-in-law badly, would he?"

Shen Zong thought to himself.

A moment later, Zhou Rong bought a Qingque sportswear set worth over four thousand yuan and, carrying shopping bags, stepped out accompanied by Shen Yanfei.

She was a smart woman. She never asked Shen Yanfei and Wei Lin about their relationship from beginning to end, but she had already figured out that the two were boyfriend and girlfriend.

"My younger brother has really gone to great lengths for your little shop."

Before leaving, Zhou Rong smiled and said, "He met with the owners of most of the sports venues in Linjiang City, asked the coaches to promote Qingque's clothing, and told them that they could come to your store to buy it."

"Wei Lin has really treated you well."

After speaking, Zhou Rong nodded slightly to Shen Zong before leaving with an elegant demeanor.

"Sis, she's Irina's boss, right?"

As soon as Zhou Rong disappeared, Shen Zong couldn't help but ask, "Does she treat her brother-in-law like a younger brother?"

Shen Yanfei's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and a strange look appeared in her eyes: "Brother-in-law?"

“That’s right, isn’t Wei Lin my brother-in-law?” Shen Zong said with a smile, looking certain of his brother-in-law. “Sis, you can’t hide it from me now! Even a big boss like President Zhou treats my brother-in-law like a younger brother. Before President Huang Xingzhi left, he also said he wanted to have dinner with my brother-in-law. How could my brother-in-law be just a small employee of a company?”

Shen Yanfei was surprised.

Her brother's attitude changed so quickly, and his behavior completely changed, which made her feel very ashamed.

How would Wei Lin view her family?

"Sis, I only realized today how handsome your husband is, he's really manly!" Shen Zong grinned and continued, "I knew you had good taste in men!"

Shen Yanfei was increasingly speechless and began to worry about her younger brother's situation.

If Shen Zong discovers that Wei Lin is rich, he will definitely cling to Wei Lin and might do something even more shameful.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Shen Yanfei instructed, "Shen Zong, don't bother him! If I find out you're bothering him, I'll make sure you regret it!"

"He's my brother-in-law, why would I bother with him?" Shen Zong said dismissively.

……

night.

Wei Lin hosted a meal at a Cantonese restaurant, inviting his mother and Xiang Wen along.

"Wei Lin, this afternoon Auntie took me to visit the garden. Auntie is so kind, and the food she cooks is delicious. We chatted all afternoon, and I even made a promise with her that she can go to Nanjing next week, and I will accompany her the whole time."

"Wei Lin, are you free next weekend?"

Xiang Wen asked expectantly.

"I don't know yet, we'll see when the time comes," Wei Lin said ambiguously.

"Oh."

Xiang Wen lowered her head and ate her food, barely saying a word.

After the meal, Wei Lin drove Xiang Wen to her hotel first, and then took his mother back to Linjiang University.

"What on earth do you think?"

Wang Suru sat in the back row, looking at him with a scrutinizing expression, and said, "I said Zhuang Qing won't do! I think either Xiang Wen or Teacher Mu would be fine!"

"Xiang Wen is well-behaved and sensible, and we get along very well. I even subtly asked her if she had any plans to work in Linjiang City. She said that she could easily find a job and that going to Linjiang City would not be a problem, but she just didn't have a reason to come."

"Don't you have any idea what she means?"

Wang Suru's expression turned slightly cold.

"Mom, what are you worrying about? If you hadn't called her over, we wouldn't have run into Teacher Mu. Luckily, Teacher Mu and I aren't anything, or you would have ruined it." Wei Lin said with a bitter face, "Your son doesn't lack girlfriends. If you really want to meet your daughter-in-law, I can arrange a couple more for you to see."

"Don't worry about Xiang Wen's side, I really don't have that much time to deal with her!"

Wei Lin complained bitterly.

"I want a daughter-in-law, not a girlfriend!" Teacher Wang retorted angrily, "What's the point of talking so much? I want grandchildren!"

"What's the rush? When I want to have children, I'll give you a whole bunch of grandchildren, keeping you so busy you won't be able to keep up!" Wei Lin shouted.

"So when exactly do you want to have a baby?!" Teacher Wang's voice was even louder. Wei Lin replied perfunctorily, "Soon, soon."

Fifteen minutes later, he dropped his mother off at Linjiang University and was about to go home to sleep when he suddenly saw a message from Xiang Wen, consisting of only a simple string of numbers: 1217.

Zibo Hotel is the hotel where she stayed, located on the 12th floor of an office building.

1217 is clearly Xiang Wen's room number at the Zibo Hotel.

Xiang Wen calculated the time accurately and knew that he should have taken Teacher Wang back to Linjiang University, so she immediately summoned him to the hotel.

……

Zibo Hotel, 1217.

In the dimly lit room, Xiang Wen quickly rinsed off and opened a bottle of red wine she had brought with her.

Wearing a pristine white bathrobe, she held a glass of red wine with a melancholy expression, occasionally glancing at her phone screen.

She sent the room number, but Wei Lin didn't reply, making her suspect that Wei Lin might not have seen it.

"Should we give him a call?"

Xiang Wen took a big gulp of red wine, but unfortunately the alcohol took a while to take effect, so she couldn't use it to embolden herself.

"I'm so pathetic. I came all the way to Linjiang and even sent him my room number, but he didn't reply. What is he thinking?"

Xiang Wen murmured to herself.

On the plane, Wei Lin clearly promised her that he would visit her in Jinling City when he had time, but Wei Lin did not keep his word and rarely responded to her messages.

She tried to forget Wei Lin, to forget the happy times in Yazhou, and to treat it all as a dream.

But she just can't forget it.

When she was busy with work during the day, it was alright, but whenever night fell and she was alone, the wonderful time she spent with Wei Lin in Yazhou would play repeatedly in her mind like a movie.

Lingering.

Wei Lin didn't respond to her much, so she went to chat with Wang Suru to find out about Wei Lin's life and what he had been busy with lately.

Fortunately, Teacher Wang was there, which is why she found out that Wei Lin had gone on a business trip to Shanghai.

She waited and waited until Wei Lin returned to Linjiang City. She also had some free time, so she and Wang Suru finalized a time to go to Linjiang University on Saturday noon.

She finally met Wei Lin, and also unexpectedly met the beautiful Mu Lanyan, which caused her great heartache and grief.

She felt a little relieved after learning that Mu Lanyan was not Wei Lin's girlfriend, and looked forward to Wei Lin's dinner, hoping that Wei Lin would take the initiative to ask her out for a second time or something else.

But Wei Lin didn't invite her, so she couldn't hold back any longer and reluctantly gave him her room number.

She had gone this far, but Wei Lin still hadn't replied, which made her heart sink to the bottom.

"Forget it, I'll just go back tomorrow morning."

Xiang Wen felt sorry for herself and drank heavily, trying to forget her troubles by getting drunk.

Half an hour later.

There was still no word from Wei Lin, and Xiang Wen had completely given up hope. She finished a bottle of red wine she had brought with her and prepared to go to sleep.

"Boom boom boom!"

A soft knock sounded on the door.

Xiang Wen jumped up from the bed and ran to the door, asking in a trembling voice, "Who is it?"

"I."

Wei Lin's deep voice came from outside the door.

"Oh!"

The door was flung open by Xiang Wen. The moment she saw Wei Lin, she pulled him inside and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears: "Didn't you see the message? Didn't you even reply? Wei Lin, I thought you weren't coming! You, do you think I, Xiang Wen, am a slut?"

Wei Lin sighed softly, embraced her, and led her to the bedside. He saw an empty bottle of red wine and explained softly, "I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to visit you in Jinling City."

Even a womanizer like him felt guilty towards Xiang Wen.

After the Yazhou incident, Xiang Wen steadily contributed love points every day. He knew, of course, that Xiang Wen loved him, but Xiang Wen also always knew that he had other women.

Xiang Wen is different from Shen Yanfei. Shen Yanfei was able to accept that he had other women, and she accepted it from the beginning.

Xiang Wen craved a normal relationship between a man and a woman, hoping that he could break up with other women and devote himself to her alone, but Wei Lin could not give her that.

He didn't want to have too much contact with Xiang Wen, hoping she could calm down and start her life anew.

However, Xiang Wen seems unable to let go of him, not only continuing to contribute love points but also searching for him in Linjiang City.

"Wei Lin, am I not good enough for you?"

Xiang Wen stared at him longingly.

"You're very good, really very good." Wei Lin gently patted her back and said softly, "You know what kind of person I am. You knew from the beginning that I'm hard to change. Xiang Wen, I haven't been in contact with you much lately because I didn't want to let you down or hurt you, and I didn't want you to keep waiting."

"Stop talking! I don't want to hear it!" Xiang Wen shouted.

While yelling, she also tried desperately to tear at Wei Lin's clothes and push him onto the bed.

P.S.: I had a big drinking session last night to see my brother off, so I'm not really in the mood today and will only post one chapter.

I owe two chapters, I'll make them up in the next few days, sorry~
