Zhao Tianyou said, "Lin Chen, you also need to understand something. What's yours is yours, and what belongs to others isn't."
After speaking, he prepared to get back in his car and leave.
Lin Chen had arrived, and it wasn't convenient for him to deliver the flowers to Xu Mengyao anymore.
"Zhao Tianyou, you don't want these flowers, do you? They look quite pretty, it'd be a shame to waste them. Sell them to me, how much did you buy them for? I'll transfer the money to you."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Tianyou: "..."
If it were just him and Lin Chen, he would have thrown the flowers in Lin Chen's face.
But Lin Xiaoxi was also present.
If he wanted to pursue Xu Mengyao, he had to humor Lin Xiaoxi.
"You don't need to pay."
After Zhao Tianyou said that, he handed the flowers to Lin Chen.
Soon, Zhao Tianyou drove away angrily. Lin Chen went to his car and unbuckled Lin Xiaoxi's seatbelt.
"Xiaoxi, you have to walk yourself."
"Daddy has to get food and take these flowers."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and said.
"Yeah, yeah."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded, "Dad, I don't like Uncle Zhao."
"Me neither."
"But these flowers are still very nice."
Lin Chen smiled.
\n\n
Soon they went upstairs, and the exclusive elevator for the high-level floors took them directly to the floor where Xu Mengyao was.
"Xiaoxi."
"Lin-ge."
Some people greeted Lin Chen and the others.
Lin Xiaoxi and the others had known each other for a long time. Many people in the company also knew Lin Chen from the basketball game.
"Knock, knock."
Lin Chen knocked on the door of the President's Office.
"Come in."
Xu Mengyao's cold voice came from inside the room. This voice was slightly different from the one she used at home.
"Mom!"
Lin Xiaoxi said joyfully as she opened the door.
"Xiaoxi."
Xu Mengyao's eyes lit up.
Lin Xiaoxi giggled, "Mommy, Daddy and I came to bring you food! Are you happy?"
"Happy, of course Mommy's happy."
Xu Mengyao felt warmth in her heart.
"Honey, here."
Lin Chen handed the flowers to Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao took them, a little surprised, "Honey... you and Xiaoxi had time to go to the florist and buy flowers?"
Lin Chen said, "I ran into Zhao Tianyou downstairs. He didn't need these flowers, and I offered to buy them from him, but he wouldn't take any money. What a nice guy."
Xu Mengyao coquettishly said, "He probably hates you. He used to send me flowers, but I never accepted them."
Lin Chen nodded with a smile.
"Eat your food quickly."
"The dishes will taste much worse if they've been in the lunchbox for too long."
Xu Mengyao put the flowers aside. She opened the lunchbox, and there were four dishes in total. She was very tempted to eat them once she took them out.
Lin Chen's cooking was much better than the company cafeteria's.
"Mommy, is it delicious?"
"You haven't eaten Daddy's cooking for a long time."
"We're here to bring you your food."
Xu Mengyao nodded, "Of course it's delicious."
She glanced at Lin Chen.
It feels so good to have a husband who cares about me.
"Mengyao, which side are you going to tonight?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao expectantly. She hadn't seen Xu Mengyao for many days, and even though they video-called every day, she still missed her mother.
"I'll go to your place."
Xu Mengyao's face was slightly flushed as she said,
"Anyway, Lin Chen has her clothes."
"He has the pajamas, and she brought a few other sets of clothes to change into."
"Yay!"
Lin Xiaoxi was overjoyed.
"Mom, can I wait for you and Dad to get off work?"
Xu Mengyao shook her head, "Xiaoxi, that won't work. Mom will be busy until very late. You're still young, and you need to grow. You need to sleep early at night and get a good rest."
"Mom promises she'll definitely come over tonight, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
The time quickly passed, and it was past nine in the evening.
Lin Xiaoxi had gone to sleep. A knock sounded at the door. Lin Chen opened it, and as he expected, it was Zhao Tianyou.
"Zhao Tianyou, what's up?"
Lin Chen asked calmly, without moving aside.
Zhao Tianyou said in a low voice, "Lin Chen, you did use my flowers, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to come in and sit for a while, right?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
"Fine, come in, considering the flowers."
Zhao Tianyou went over and sat down on the sofa.
"Lin Chen, have you considered what I talked to you about?"
Zhao Tianyou said in a low voice.
Lin Chen also sat down: "I haven't considered it at all."
Zhao Tianyou's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Lin Chen, I don't know if you're aware, but the company has recently run into some trouble. Xu Mengyao went abroad to deal with this."
"Don't think the Xu Family is so rich, they're facing a crisis too. If the Xu Family falls, what will you and Lin Xiaoxi do?"
"You need to think more about yourself and your daughter."
Lin Chen: "Are you finished? You can leave now."
Zhao Tianyou was annoyed. He took a deep breath and continued: "Lin Chen, I'll give you five million. I'll give you another three million when you marry someone else."
"I'll arrange a job for you with an annual salary of a million."
"How's that?"
Lin Chen shook his head. "Zhao Tianyou, why don't you understand? Even if I quit, you still have no chance. Mengyao has absolutely no feelings for you, understand?"
"Besides, you Zhao Family want to swallow a giant? Do you even have the stomach for it? Aren't you afraid of choking yourselves to death?"
Zhao Tianyou said coldly, "That's none of your concern."
"Just take the money and leave."
"My offer is already extremely generous. You'd better be satisfied."
Lin Chen's expression was indifferent. "You can leave now that you're done talking."
"I'm not interested."
"Don't even mention eight million, I wouldn't be interested even if it were eighty million."
Zhao Tianyou gritted his teeth, "Lin Chen, you better not regret this."
Lin Chen pointed towards the door.
Zhao Tianyou stormed off in anger.
Lin Chen pondered. The Zhao Family wants to pull off a hostile takeover, don't they know they might get indigestion? Or do they have some other scheme up their sleeves?
\n\n
It was almost noon when Xu Mengyao got back.
Lin Chen was watching TV in the living room.
"Lin Chen, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Waiting for you. Zhao Tianyou came by. He offered me eight million plus a million-dollar annual salary. I find it strange that he hasn't given up."
Xu Mengyao pondered, "Aunt Liang's birthday, we both attended, and even though they didn't, they should know."
Lin Chen said, "He knows we got our marriage certificate. And he should also know that we have developed feelings for each other. Under these circumstances, the significance of his persistence is not as great."
Xu Mengyao's face flushed slightly.
"By the way, he also knows about the recent trouble your company is facing. He should be aware of whether the Zhao Family can handle the future crisis even if the snake swallows the elephant successfully?"
Xu Mengyao was thoughtful, "You mean, the Zhao Family might have secretly colluded with outsiders?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
"I think the possibility is quite high."
"The Zhao Family is still very important to external enemies. Others may make many promises to win them over."
"You have to be careful that the Zhao Family doesn't set a trap for you later."
Xu Mengyao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The Zhao Family has many people in their company, and Zhao Tianyou's father, Zhao Huaiyuan, is still the company's vice president. He knows a lot of company secrets. If they set a trap, it would be difficult to defend against.
"I'll be careful."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Lin Chen: "Wife, go take a shower quickly. You can sleep with Xiaoxi. Or, the three of us can sleep together."
Xu Mengyao rolled her beautiful eyes at Lin Chen.
"Don't even think about that for now."
Lin Chen said with a smile, "What about later?"
"Later depends on how you perform, hmmph."
After saying that, Xu Mengyao quickly went to the master bedroom to take a shower.
