If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Chapter 162 The Future is Long

See? He knew he couldn't say it out loud. As soon as he dared to let out even the slightest hint, those two would relentlessly pursue him, as if they had caught wind of it.

Shen Yanzhen had no intention of lying about this point; he told the truth: "I only said I liked him, I didn't say that he liked me!"

That's what he said, but Shen Yingchu and Madam Shen could still sense a pang of sadness in his tone.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to change their approach and adopt a more conciliatory strategy.

Shen Yingchu coughed lightly: "Sigh, don't be discouraged. Girls are beautiful and charming, so it takes some effort to pursue them. Put your work aside for now; important things in life are more important."

Madam Shen nodded repeatedly from the side.

Shen Yanzhen wanted to have some free time to pursue her, but she wouldn't let him!

He didn't speak, so Shen Yingchu tried to come up with an idea: "Is it because you're too busy and don't have time to go on dates with people? Or is it because you're too stingy and people don't like the gifts you give them?"

Shen Yanzhen shook his head: "Dad, what are you talking about? It's none of that. I can do all of this myself..."

Before Shen Yingchu could speak, Madam Shen interrupted him: "Or maybe they just think you're not good-looking. Yan Zhen, we may not have the best natural features, but we can make up for it with effort."

"You should go to the stylist's office today—no, I mean today—and get your personal image completely revamped and given a makeover!"

"Everyone loves beauty. Once you dress up again, you'll definitely look brand new!"

Shen Yanzhen scoffed. So, when their persuasion failed, their parents resorted to personal attacks?

He took two steps closer, and using the light reflected from the mirror, he turned slightly to the left and right: "Mom, look at me, do I look bad?"

Mrs. Shen certainly thought her son was handsome, but the girl didn't think so!

She said earnestly, "Yan Zhen, if someone as good-looking as you can't attract them, it means you have some major flaws that they can't accept!"

"Moreover, this flaw is something she absolutely cannot tolerate! After all, as the saying goes, everyone loves beauty. If she doesn't even want to look at your face, no matter how many shining qualities you have, they won't attract her!"

Shen Yanzhen took these words to heart.

He knew why Chen Can didn't want to be with him, and looking back, he regretted it.

But Chen Can isn't giving himself a chance at all.

She finds it annoying to send me messages every day, so if I send ten messages, I'm lucky if she replies to three!

Where are you going? What's the matter? She never tells me. If I ask too many questions, she'll just transfer money to me and insult me!

Fortunately, I can now be flexible and ignore her insults. If it were my old self, we probably would have parted on bad terms long ago!

Now she's all about being passive, irresponsible, and a total scumbag!

But Shen Yanzhen was perfectly content, and even asked to sleep with him every time. Although he always felt sore and aching after sleeping with him, the pleasure he felt was indescribable.

Perhaps, as Chen Can later commented on him: "He's bad at the game but loves to play!"

Despite Chen Can's indifference towards him, Shen Yanzhen had no intention of giving up.

She ignored me, and she didn't flirt with anyone else!

At least she always has a place of her own in bed, right? Provided she's proactive enough!

Everything will be alright. Didn't she pursue him for a long time before? Now that their roles have been reversed, he doesn't believe his patience is no match for Chen Can's.

There is ample time!
