After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 29 The Gift

A hasty night passed.

As the glaring sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the French windows, Chen Jiang opened his eyes and instinctively reached out to touch the space beside him, only to find nothing. Looking up, he discovered that Gao Wen, who should have been beside him, had vanished.

"Hold!"

Cursing under his breath, Chen Jiang picked up the clothes he had thrown on the ground, quickly dressed, pushed open the door, and walked out of the bedroom. Before he could even call Gao Wen's name, he smelled the aroma of food.

Following the scent, they discovered Gao Wen, dressed only in her underwear, sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

She also heard Chen Jiang's voice, turned her head, stared at him for a moment, then snorted coldly and looked away.

Chen Jiang felt helpless, but he still went over and sat down at the dining table, trying to break the awkward silence:

"Cough cough~~ Your breakfast was alright."

Gao Wen glanced at him briefly, then continued eating without saying anything.

Even more awkward... Chen Jiang sighed. He didn't like things being so unclear. Regardless of whether it was due to superiors or other factors yesterday, he had slept with her, and it really was her first time.

So it's impossible to determine whether it's his problem or Gao Wen's problem, so let's just get straight to the point:

"Alright, let's talk this out. There's no point in you just arguing and ignoring me."

Upon hearing this, Gao Wen put down her chopsticks and looked directly at Chen Jiang:

"I have nothing to say. You've done everything you were supposed to do. All I need to do is take responsibility."

Chen Jiang was afraid of taking responsibility, but under Gao Wen's watchful gaze, he reluctantly nodded.

"Of course I will take responsibility; it is my responsibility."

"But... let me tell you the truth, Gao Wen, in my opinion, we're really not a good match. Let's not talk about age; these days, being a few years older isn't that much of a difference. But the education we received growing up, our worldviews, and our views on consumption are completely different."

"You're still a celebrity, you need to travel everywhere, fly around to film movies, shoot dramas, and attend events. We're both mature now, you know I can't follow you back and forth all the time."

"I......"

Gao Wen opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin her rebuttal.

Chen Jiang sighed and continued:

"Moreover, I just finished dealing with a lot of things at home, and I just got divorced. My own affairs are still a mess, and I don't know how I'm going to live my life. I don't know if I have the energy to manage our relationship."

"So in my opinion, this is a doomed relationship that won't last. It's best to be rational and not get together, so that we don't both end up getting hurt."

Gao Wen disagreed with this point, frowning:

"How do you know it won't work if you don't even try?"

Chen Jiang smiled slightly and looked at her:

"So, do you think you can give up everything you have now to become a wealthy man's housewife, or do you think I can give up everything and follow you around like a female celebrity's shadow?"

"..."

This time, Gao Wen finally fell completely silent, because even though she was being somewhat irrational, the reality was there, and she couldn't tell a lie.

Seeing that his words had finally had an effect, Chen Jiang let out a soft sigh of relief:

"So, let's calm down first."

"I think you're probably still not over what happened yesterday. Maybe your misconceptions about me will gradually fade away after a while."

"Anyway, let's be friends for now. If you still like me after some time has passed, then feel free to come find me, and I'll take full responsibility."

Gao Wen lowered her head, showing no intention of answering.

Chen Jiang sighed, slowly stood up, took the house key out of his pocket, and placed it on the table:

"Here's the key to this house, you can keep it."

"I have some things to take care of, so I won't stay here with you. If you don't want to stay here anymore, just send me a message."

After saying that, Chen Jiang stood up, put on his shoes, picked up his coat, took the elevator, and left the house.

......

After leaving his mansion, Chen Jiang was not in a hurry to return to his other home.

Instead, they went back to the mall, bought some jewelry and other items, and then drove towards Nina's dormitory.

These were bought for Nina. Gao Wen's incident happened suddenly yesterday, and he couldn't pick Nina up. He only had time to tell her that he had something to do that night, so Nina stayed in her dormitory last night.

Model agencies don't start work early; 9 or 10 am is considered normal, if there's no work available.

So Nina wasn't at work yet. Knowing that Chen Jiang was coming to see her, she specially pulled Margarita downstairs to greet him. As soon as they met, she embraced and kissed him under Margarita's gaze.

"Honey, are you done with your work?"

"You're done with your work... Why did you come downstairs dressed like that? Aren't you cold?"

Chen Jiang also gave her a light kiss, then looked down at her outfit: a simple black sweatshirt, fitted cropped pants, and flat shoes. Despite not dressing up much, she still showed off her long legs to the fullest.

Looking at Margarita next to him, her attire was much simpler. She wasn't showing off her figure at all, and her hair was all messy. She really didn't treat him like an outsider.

"It's warm here, not cold."

Nina smiled gently.

"That's true... The temperature in Shenzhen is much lower than where you live." Chen Jiang realized this and chuckled. It was really funny that he was worried about whether a Russian would feel cold in Shenzhen.

"Oh, by the way, I bought you something. Would you like to take a look?"

Nina was pleasantly surprised:

"What is it, darling?"

Chen Jiang smiled, turned around and walked to his Aston Martin. He opened the car door, and a pile of shopping bags printed with luxury brands were exposed in front of her, causing Nina to gasp in surprise:

"Wow~~ Honey, are all of these... for me?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but rush over and start checking them one by one.

As her best friend, Margarita also went over, and then her eyes widened in surprise:

"Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel... Good heavens, Chen bought all of these for you?"

"How many brands would that be, and how much would it cost?"

Hearing Margarita's words, Chen Jiang smiled from behind:

"I don't have much money... mainly because I don't know much about luxury goods, so I just picked two items from each brand. I don't know if they'll suit Nina's taste."

"Perfect, absolutely perfect, darling!"

Nina was quite happy. As a woman, it was hard for her to refuse these things, but what made her even happier was that Chen Jiang had given them to her right in front of Margarita.

Although she was willing to go all out and thought Chen Jiang was a worthwhile investment candidate, Margarita had been making sarcastic remarks about her over the past few days, saying that she had chosen the wrong person.

Now, however, she slapped him hard in return, venting all the resentment she had been holding in for the past few days, which made her extremely happy.

After a brief moment of excitement, Nina pulled Margarita to her side without hesitation:

"Honey, please help me see what Chen bought for me?"
