Chapter 170: Chu Li, I Don't Want to See You Right Now

Wen Lvzhong thought for a moment, "It's a relationship of staying over, I suppose."

He was only off for the weekend and would soon return to work, so calling it staying over was quite appropriate.

Cheng Han was surprised, because based on his understanding of Chu Li, he would only ever sweep Wen Lvzhong out the door.

To let Wen Lvzhong stay here now... he really had changed a lot.

"I heard your mother is arranging blind dates for you?" Cheng Han asked Wen Lvzhong.

He had once wanted to pair Cheng Wan and Wen Lvzhong together to fulfill Cheng Wan's girlhood dream.

But the world is unpredictable; Cheng Wan still returned to Chu Li's side.

Even so, Cheng Han still felt that Wen Lvzhong was more suitable for Cheng Wan.

Wen Lvzhong rubbed his brow; the mere mention of this gave him a headache. "She's worrying blindly."

Chu Li, however, became interested. "Lawyer Wen, if you haven't found a suitable match, I could help introduce one to you."

He was eager for Wen Lvzhong to go on blind dates.

To get married quickly.

Wen Lvzhong glanced at him. "No need."

Chu Li, however, already said, "A man should marry and a woman should wed; once you are married, Mother Wen will be at ease."

Wen Lvzhong sneered. "It's you who would be at ease."

Chu Li laughed, in a very good mood.

He already had a candidate in mind.

"I have a cousin who just came from Haicheng. She is young, beautiful, and quite capable. She will be joining the group to work soon. If you want to get in touch, let's set a time to meet."

Cheng Han propped himself up on his arms. "A Li, you're overthinking it. The daughter-in-law of the Wen Family must be someone within the system."

Regardless of whether it could help Wen Lvzhong's official career, she at least had to be within the system and have a clean family background.

For someone like the Chu Family, the Wen Family would never consider it for the sake of their long-term interests.

It was completely impossible for Chu Li to introduce his own sister.

Chu Li frowned; if that was the case, he could only have Assistant Wu look for someone else.

But Wen Lvzhong took over his words.

"Is your cousin named Chu Fangfei?"

"You know her?"

"We were in the same club in university."

Wen Lvzhong had an impression of Chu Fangfei; she was a very strong-willed person.

Cheng Han caught on. "So you are willing to meet her?"

"Of course." Wen Lvzhong drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Under the lights, his eyes held a cold glint.

Cheng Han patted Chu Li on the shoulder. "Arrange it quickly."

Chu Li nodded, more than happy to do so.

It was just that he was also a bit surprised.

"Didn't you lose your memory?"

Wen Lvzhong smiled. "It was only selective amnesia; I didn't forget everything."

He put down his wine glass. "I'm going to keep Ping'an company; you two chat."

After he left, Cheng Han said, "Even if Wen Lvzhong is willing, the Wen Family might not be."

Chu Li understood; he was just acting as a go-between and never thought of forcing Wen Lvzhong to marry, so whether Wen Lvzhong and Chu Fangfei could make it work depended on fate.

He would not interfere.

Setting this matter aside, he asked Cheng Han, "Why weren't you at the Yiyuan today?"

Cheng Han's expression turned cold. He stared at Chu Li. "You should know what kind of person Qin Yun Shu is by now."

Chu Li did not speak.

The Qin Yun Shu in his memory was still that naive girl who followed behind him.

Very sensible.

Not the unrecognizable version of today.

"Suit yourself."

What Chu Li had promised Qin Yun Shu back then was to let her marry Cheng Han as she wished; he hadn't promised to help her maintain this marriage.

Some paths still need to be walked by oneself.

Cheng Han raised his glass, which counted as his thanks to Chu Li.

Chu Li saw Cheng Han off and returned to the master bedroom.

One side of the lake-blue bed was slightly raised.

He walked a few steps, smelled the alcohol on himself, and decided to take a shower and brush his teeth first before getting into bed.

He moved close to Cheng Wan's soft body and clearly sensed her body tense up for a moment.

She was not asleep.

She was just pretending to sleep because she didn't want to pay him any mind.

Chu Li was happy inside and didn't mind these things.

He said softly, "Wen Lvzhong is going on a blind date. I'm planning to have him meet Fangfei. You can come along then."

Privately, he hoped that after seeing Wen Lvzhong on a blind date with another woman, Cheng Wan would be able to let go of Wen Lvzhong.

And truly let go.

Cheng Wan opened her eyes; she lay on her side, the anger in her eyes incredibly clear even in the dim light.

"Chu Li, you just can't tolerate him, can you?"

In her view, Chu Li introducing Chu Fangfei to Wen Lvzhong was purely malicious.

He had always minded the fact that she had once liked Wen Lvzhong.

But to make Wen Lvzhong go on a blind date with Chu Fangfei was truly disgusting.

With Chu Yue's personality, how good could her daughter possibly be?

Chu Li's expression turned slightly ugly; Cheng Wan's reaction was beyond his expectations.

He did indeed have other intentions in telling Cheng Wan about this matter.

But she was so angry, even speculating on his motives without rhyme or reason.

"Wanwan, I only made a suggestion."

He explained with patience: "Besides, he also agreed."

Cheng Wan sneered; with her and Ping'an here, how could Wen Lvzhong not agree?

"Chu Li, if you don't want to see him, then don't pretend to be generous by letting him live here; by constantly using threats, don't you think your behavior is disgusting?"

She loathed this kind of threat.

Chu Li reached out and turned on the light.

In the bright light, her disgust was naked and undisguised.

"I have already agreed to remarry you, what else do you want?"

She sat up clutching the quilt, "It wasn't enough that you ruined Cheng Han's whole life, and now you want to drag Wen Lvzhong into this too; what, they can only marry your sisters?"

She questioned him like a barrage of gunfire, not giving Chu Li a chance to explain.

And Chu Li no longer wanted to explain.

Her attitude made his heart go cold.

He had only said he would arrange a blind date for Wen Lvzhong, yet it was made to seem as if he were forcing Wen Lvzhong to get married.

Was she dissatisfied with the blind date he arranged for Wen Lvzhong, or was she dissatisfied with Wen Lvzhong going on a blind date?

"I'm going to sleep in the guest room." Cheng Wan threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

Chu Li pulled her back.

Cheng Wan's emotions erupted all at once, "Chu Li, I don't want to see you right now."

Chu Li's heart felt hollow, yet he still said calmly: "I will go to the guest room."

"You..."

"You are a pregnant woman, is that reason enough?" Chu Li interrupted her, his tone very cold.

The light blurred his expression.

Not until the sound of the door closing reached her did Cheng Wan snap back to reality.

She slowly gripped the quilt tight, her chest feeling painfully tight.

It wasn't enough that Cheng Han and Qin Yun Shu were married; now even Wen Lvzhong had to be arranged for a blind date by Chu Li.

How could Chu Li be so petty?

Or was it that he insisted on cutting off all her retreats, so that she could only live under his thumb in the future?

In the guest room.

Chu Li could not fall asleep for a long time; as soon as he closed his eyes, there was Cheng Wan's look of disgust and her questioning.

He had actually realized that they were misunderstanding each other more and more.

The conflicts were increasing,

and often, they would start arguing before they could even say two sentences.

This relationship had long since become abnormal.

Yet he was unwilling to let go, still wanting to hold onto it and attempt to restore it.

But it seemed that no matter what he did, in Cheng Wan's eyes, it was all done with an ulterior motive.
