Chapter 624: Chapter 624: If You Lose, Be My Girlfriend
Chen Jing, she honestly didn’t believe it, but what she didn’t believe in was not him, but herself.
She couldn’t believe that she can win the affection of such an outstanding man and couldn’t believe that she can make a man become engrossed in her.
It has to be said, those 20 years by Zhu Zhizhou’s side had honestly eroded her deep-seated confidence entirely.
Hence, if a woman lacks adequate shrewdness and encounters a scumbag, that woman’s entire life would be wrecked by that scumbag.
Becuase, even if she gets away from that scumbag, her deep-seated pride and confidence as a woman would have been completely shattered by him.
Chen Jing was fortunate to have such precious daughters who slowly supported her over the years, gradually allowing her to stand up again.
However, even so, it’s still a bit hard for her to believe.
"Boss Luo, you say you like me?"
Chen Jing gathered herself after recovering from her shock and asked Luo Yifan, staring at him.
"Exactly, is there anything strange about it? A man and a woman, eyeing each other, hormones fit each other, they simply fall in love, isn’t this very simple?"
Luo Yifan, who had been unrestrained, once again demonstrated his excellent eloquence and agile thinking as a businessman.
Chen Jing didn’t know how to respond; for her, whatever Luo Yifan said was hard to understand.
After a while, she murmured, "But, I just wish to...find someone to live a simple life with..."
Yes, she didn’t demand that the other party be particularly gifted or attractive, even less a distinguished ancestry. All she needed was a normal individual who can accompany her through a humble and quiet life.
Luo Yifan looked at her, somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean, I can’t live a simple life with you?"
Chen Jing shook her head, "You are too outstanding, it feels like you deserve a better woman."
Luo Yifan stared at her wide-eyed, "Chen Jing, you too are very outstanding!"
Chen Jing thought he was just pampering her, "What is outstanding about me? I’m just a regular housewife, uneducated, clueless. It’s just that Ying’er and Xiao Yu spurred me on these past few years to somewhat resemble a human being. Otherwise, I would probably be like mired in mud."
Chen Jing, looking back at her past self in the Zhu Family, even despised herself and sometimes wished she could go back and give her past self a good beating.
Luo Yifan’s face slowly turned serious.
"Ah Jing, why do you look at yourself like this?"
Chen Jing was startled by his seriousness, but her gaze, like being controlled by magic, tightly focussed on his eyes.
"Do you know when you’re in the kitchen you’re glowing, you’re excellent, so excellent that many people can’t reach you. Those who say you’re not excellent, view you like grass; either they are blind and don’t recognize a gem, or they are jealous of you and intentionally say those kinds of things to bring you down. Because, fortune and status are external embellishments for a person, while talent is a person’s intrinsic and inner substance!"
Luo Yifan didn’t understand who instilled so many self-deprecating thoughts into Chen Jing, but he must say, at this moment, he felt a sting in his heart.
Besides the pain, there was also regret.
The implications of Luo Yifan’s words, were not lost on Chen Jing, except that it’s really not easy to truly acknowledge and appreciate oneself.
"I’m not as good as you say I am..."
Luo Yifan sighed, reached out his hand, held hers, which was casually resting on the table, and stared at her solemnly.
"Ah Jing, wait until you’ve finished participating in this food exhibition, you will find that you’re better than what you or others think you are! Believe me!"
Chen Jing pulled her hand back forcefully, "You overestimate me!"
Now Luo Yifan, was determined because he vaguely understood that from past to present, basically, she didn’t give him any response, besides being unsure, the most important reason was that she didn’t believe in herself.
And this was something that seemed to need to be taken slowly.
"Hmm, let’s make a bet, dare you?" Luo Yifan stared at Chen Jing, leaving her no room for retreat.
Chen Jing was taken aback, "What bet?"
She wasn’t one to gamble, but she has taken a big gamble in life.
She had gambled her youth of ten to twenty years on that bastard Zhu Zhizhou, and in the end, she lost miserably.
Fortunately, she had two precious daughters, otherwise, this gamble would have left her with nothing.
So, when she heard about Luo Yifan’s proposal, she instinctively stepped back.
"Dare you?"
Luo Yifan suddenly became very forceful. Although his facial expression hadn’t changed much, his tone was evidently oppressive to her.
Chen Jing slightly flinched, blinked, "You mention the stake first!"
But she was still cautious, and would not allow herself to make some regrettable, foolish mistakes.
Luo Yifan unblinkingly looked at her, "Since you’re so not confident, I bet you will become famous with this food exhibition!"
Chen Jing looked surprised at Luo Yifan. Has this man gone crazy with fame and fortune? At the food exhibition where many famous chefs gather, what importance does she, Chen Jing, have?
"You think too highly of me!"
Luo Yifan was undeterred, "Don’t worry about it, just say, are you betting or not?"
While Chen Jing wasn’t smart, she had good critical reasoning skills.
"If we bet, what will I get if I win? If I lose, what will you get?"
"If you win, you set the conditions, as long as I can afford it, it’s alright!" Luo Yifan replied without hesitation.
Chen Jing was startled again, was this man joking or being serious?
"Then, if I win, I want your Fanxin Restaurant, will you give it to me?"
Luo Yifan nodded determinedly, "Given! If you win!"
Chen Jing truly felt like this was the biggest joke of the century. As she thought this, a hint of ridicule appeared on her face.
Luo Yifan, seeming to guess what she was thinking, said, "Don’t worry, whenever I bet with someone it’s always a written agreement. If you agree to it, I’ll let the lawyer draft a contract, I will not go back on my words."
Chen Jing looked at him skeptically for a while before finally asking, "What if I lose? You wouldn’t want this Quiet Restaurant of mine, right? That would be unfair to you."
Seeing Chen Jing say this showed that she clearly still didn’t believe Luo Yifan’s words.
Luo Yifan looked at her undisturbed, only after she became slightly uncomfortable, he slowly spoke.
"If you lose the wager, you’ll be my girlfriend!"
