"Don’t be in such a hurry, Feifei."

Shen Mingchuan wasn’t annoyed. Instead, he said cheerfully,

"I just sold my two commercial properties today. Got five million in total."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xu Fei’s sharp voice instantly softened.

"So? Why are you calling me?"

"I wanted to say..."

Shen Mingchuan flicked the cigarette from his mouth out the window, clutched his phone, and unleashed a torrent of abuse, the veins in his neck bulging.

"You f**king b**ch! You really think you can look down on me just because you’re pretty? F*** you! You’re nothing but a money-grubbing gold digger! A s***-for-brains, s****y piece of trash! Get the hell away from me!"

Before Xu Fei could reply, Shen Mingchuan immediately hung up, blocked all her contact information, and yelled, "So satisfying!"

Once his agitated mood gradually calmed, he began to fantasize about his wonderful future.

’Looks like Ping wants to get back together, too.’

’If we really do get remarried, I have to treat her well from now on!’

Shen Mingchuan secretly made up his mind.

♪~Love is a ray of light, so wonderful, guiding us to the future we want!~♪

On the way to the Cat Cafe, the atmosphere inside the car was silent, save for the music from the speakers.

Seeing Lin Shen driving seriously without a word, Lin Ping thought he wasn’t satisfied with what she’d done at Shen Mingchuan’s house. Her hands, resting on her snow-white thighs, clenched tightly.

After biting her lip and hesitating for a moment, the beautiful young woman cautiously asked,

"President Lin, was I okay?"

"You were fine."

Lin Shen said frankly.

"I’ll observe you again when Shen Mingchuan treats us to a meal."

"Okay."

Lin Ping nodded shyly, and a weight was finally lifted from her shoulders.

"President Lin, you can rest assured. Shen Mingchuan is very timid and afraid of trouble. He generally won’t do anything illegal."

"I know."

Lin Shen said softly, which made Lin Ping feel rather embarrassed.

"Thank you for helping me."

"By helping you, I’m also helping my former self."

Lin Shen’s gaze was profound as he revealed, for the first time, his true reason for helping Lin Ping.

He saw a shadow of his past self in this beautiful young woman.

Although he hadn’t been married, his situation was quite similar.

In fact, Lin Ping’s situation seemed even more tragic than his had been.

She was crammed into a small, old, dilapidated apartment with her daughter, and her only means of livelihood had been run into the ground and bankrupted by her ex-husband’s schemes.

If not for him, Lin Shen couldn’t imagine how terrible Lin Ping’s life would have become.

So he had stepped in and helped her out in this small, insignificant way.

Lin Shen didn’t consider himself a good person. Back when his own life was a mess, he hadn’t done any good deeds either.

But now that he had a bit of money, he always found himself wanting to do something meaningful.

This was just the beginning. Later, if his business venture went smoothly, Lin Shen wanted to establish a charitable foundation and a psychological counseling center.

It would be dedicated to helping people who had been deceived in their relationships, regardless of gender.

’Since I’ve been rained on myself, I should at least hold an umbrella for others, right?’

Seeing Lin Shen smile, Lin Ping didn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words, but she could feel the gentleness he directed at her.

It warmed her heart and made her feel that she had made the right decision.

’Becoming Lin Shen’s mistress must be the right choice!’

After arriving and parking the car, Lin Shen used the key Shen Mingchuan had given him to open the roll-up security door of the adjacent shop.
