Chapter 149: Chapter 149 You Can Go_1

Half an hour later, Chen Yuanxiang pushed the door open and walked into Lin Shulei’s home.

Lin Shulei, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and said, "Mr. Chen, please have a seat, the meal will be ready shortly."

"Okay," Chen Yuanxiang replied.

After a while, Lin Shulei emerged from the kitchen and said, "Mr. Chen, I apologize, but I don’t have any alcohol at home. I forgot you like to drink. Please sit for a while; I’ll go buy some and come right back."

"There’s no need to bother, I don’t need to drink," Chen Yuanxiang waved his hand, not wanting to make Lin Shulei run around on his account.

"It’s no trouble, I can get it quickly." Lin Shulei didn’t wait for Chen Yuanxiang to say more, and immediately went out the door.

Chen Yuanxiang shook his head with a wry smile and took out his phone to browse Doule.

It wasn’t that he enjoyed watching such things, but rather to keep an eye on the Dongyan Guild.

And the videos of Li Kaiyao were quite enjoyable; he watched them every time Li Kaiyao posted a new one.

What he didn’t know was, as he was scrolling through the videos, Feng Lijuan had arrived at his front door.

Feng Lijuan was not willing to give up. Since Chen Yuanxiang had declined to have dinner with her, she went to his place, thinking that, hard-hearted as he might be, he would at least let her in.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

However, after a long wait, there was no answer.

She knocked again, still no response.

"He’s actually avoiding me!" Feng Lijuan felt exasperated.

She had seen Chen Yuanxiang’s car parked downstairs.

She knew that he was currently driving a company car provided by Shuidilao, a Mercedes-Benz 350, and she even remembered the license plate number.

It was clear that Chen Yuanxiang had already returned home, but when she knocked, there was no reaction.

It was obvious that Chen Yuanxiang was intentionally not answering the door, not wanting to see her.

With Chen Yuanxiang not opening the door on purpose, she didn’t really have any other options; she couldn’t just keep knocking.

Facing a silent rejection, she could no longer face knocking again.

There and then, she decided to leave, planning to finish work early the next day and wait at the door for Chen Yuanxiang to return.

She refused to believe that then Chen Yuanxiang could still stop her from entering.

Once inside, she was confident she could soften Chen Yuanxiang’s stance.

Right at that moment, Lin Shulei returned with the alcohol, and seeing Feng Lijuan standing at Chen Yuanxiang’s doorstep, she asked, "Hello, are you looking for Mr. Chen?"

Feng Lijuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Lin Shulei had never seen Feng Lijuan before and didn’t realize that she was Chen Yuanxiang’s ex-wife; she merely thought Feng Lijuan was a friend of Chen Yuanxiang’s with something to discuss. "Mr. Chen is at my place, I’ll ask him to come out and see you," said Lin Shulei.

However, upon hearing what Lin Shulei said, Feng Lijuan’s expression changed drastically.

Who was this woman?

Why was Chen Yuanxiang at this woman’s home?

What was the relationship between Chen Yuanxiang and this woman?

She considered herself to have maintained her appearance quite well, not inferior to many ordinary young women.

But compared to Lin Shulei, she felt somewhat lacking.

Moreover, listening to Lin Shulei’s gentle manner of speaking, she seemed extremely soft-spoken and likable.

Many men would be attracted to such a woman.

Seeing Lin Shulei opening the door opposite, Feng Lijuan immediately asked, "Beautiful lady, what’s your relationship with Mr. Chen?"

Lin Shulei replied, "He is the general manager of our company, and I am his subordinate."

She walked inside, and addressing Chen Yuanxiang, who was sitting on the sofa, she said, "Mr. Chen, someone is looking for you, right at the door."

"Who is it?" Chen Yuanxiang stood up and walked out, only to see Feng Lijuan at the doorstep. He couldn’t help but frown, "What are you doing here?"

"I missed you, so I came to see you," Feng Lijuan declared with an air of yearning, feigning deep affection.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Shulei finally understood that the woman before her was Chen Yuanxiang’s ex-wife, Feng Lijuan.

She started to become somewhat nervous.

Now that Feng Lijuan had come knocking, Lin Shulei wondered how Chen Yuanxiang would handle the situation.

"Feng Lijuan, we’ve been divorced for over a decade, and our children are grown. Do you really believe what you’re saying?" Chen Yuanxiang scoffed with biting sarcasm.

"Yuanxiang, I..." Feng Lijuan wanted to say something more.

"I’ll say it again, it’s not possible between us anymore, please go," he said.

However, before Feng Lijuan could continue, Chen Yuanxiang had already closed the door on her.

Feng Lijuan stared at the tightly shut door, her complexion turning ashen.

Chen Yuanxiang had turned her away right in front of that woman, clearly to make a point to her.

Just now, that woman had mentioned she was Chen Yuanxiang’s subordinate.

The two were boss and employee, and now neighbors, with Chen Yuanxiang even visiting her home for a meal.

That woman had also brought a bottle of wine, obviously just purchased.

It seemed both of them likely harbored that kind of interest.

Originally, she had been full of confidence, believing that given time, she could definitely make Chen Yuanxiang accept her again.

But now it seemed she was out of time.

With that woman in the picture, what time did she have?

Man and woman alone, enjoying a drink together; drink after drink, who knows where it might lead...

At that thought, Feng Lijuan’s face darkened further.

She didn’t linger there any longer and went back to her own home.

Given Chen Yuanxiang’s attitude, it was pointless for her to stay any longer.

After all, she couldn’t keep knocking on the door, disrupting their mood, and messing up the potential romance, could she?

Besides, if those two were truly getting together, it wasn’t something that her knocking on the door could interrupt.

When she arrived home and saw Chen Yuting sitting on the living room sofa playing with her phone, without seeing Dong Qikang and his son, she sat down beside her daughter and asked, "Where are they?"

Chen Yuting swiped through her phone, didn’t look up at Feng Lijuan, and shook her head, saying, "Don’t know. It’s getting late; they probably won’t be back for dinner. Mom, why don’t you start cooking? I’m hungry."

"Okay, I’ll start cooking," Feng Lijuan said as she got up and headed for the kitchen.

She was hungry too; no matter how bad she felt, she still had to eat.

Besides, even if she wasn’t hungry, she had to cook for Chen Yuting.

It wasn’t as if she could let Chen Yuting order takeout or go out to eat when at home.

Half an hour later, dinner was ready, and the two of them sat down to eat.

"Mom, did you go to see Dad again today?" Chen Yuting, noticing Feng Lijuan’s off complexion while eating, inquired.

"Ah," Feng Lijuan sighed deeply.

The implication was clear.

She had gone, but things didn’t go well.

"Mom, don’t bother doing this. Dad is not going to get back together with you." Chen Yuting advised.

"Yuting, I believe your dad still has feelings for me in his heart. He won’t get back with me because he has another woman by his side..." Feng Lijuan recounted the day’s events.

"Mom, Dad is now the general manager of Shuidilao; it’s normal for a subordinate to like him. You should just stop going after him, otherwise you’ll only embarrass yourself," Chen Yuting urged again.

"No, I must go. I gave birth to two daughters for him, and he never gave me a happy life. I left him, and now that he’s successful, he needs to give me happiness," Feng Lijuan said, her face filled with rage as if she were the wronged party.
