Hitting Up The Big Leagues with a Tea Personality

You Heard That I Would Be Going On A Blind Date?

Luo Tianlin’s handsome face twitched slightly.

Xia Bohe could not resist the urge to look down at the floral patterns on the carpet, where her feet were planted on. She tried her best to hide the trace of a smile on her face.

Xu Yazhi placed the fruit platter on a small table. She turned to face Xia Bohe with a warm, kind smile on her face.

“Good girl. The mung bean soup has been chilled for a while. It has a cooling taste, but cannot be too cold. It will help you cool down from the summer heat. I have selected a few types of fruits for you as well. Just pick the ones that you like and have them. Dinner will be served in a little while,” she told her.

“Women are made of water. Eat more fruits for good skin,” she added.

She did not wait for Xia Bohe’s response. Her gaze flitted past Luo Tianlin and landed on the wall behind him.

“As a man, you must be more generous at heart,” she stated.

Luo Tianlin frowned.

Xu Yazhi coughed lightly. “Your grandfather and father will be back soon. Despite having been in the Luo family for so many years, I have never seen them making things hard for women on purpose, what more treating your own woman that way,” she said.

Done with what she had to say, she seemed relieved yet anxious at the same time. She then left the room quickly without daring to even take a glance at Luo Tianlin.

After disappearing from sight, she seemed to have remembered something. She spoke again.

“Bohe, come do some flower arrangements with me when you are free,” she added.

Her final words rang out from outside the door. Eventually, her voice died away along with the sounds of her hurried footsteps.

It seemed like she was escaping in fear.

Xia Bohe was stunned.

This mother-in-law of hers seemed to be afraid of her son, huh?

The original host had always maintained a cold demeanor. She had rarely interacted with anyone in the Luo family other than Luo Tianlin’s grandfather.

Furthermore, she rarely came home and had never attended any gatherings with the wealthy mistresses and young ladies due to her secret marriage. Therefore, she did not understand much of the secrets and gossip within the industry.

But looking at things now, why did her mother-in-law seem to behave like Luo Tianlin’s stepmother?

She turned around to look at Luo Tianlin. He had a nasty look on his face, one that warned others not to meddle with him. It seemed that her assumptions were correct!

She could tell from the original host’s memories and her interactions with him after her transmigration that although Luo Tianlin had a cold demeanor, he was not an unscrupulous being who did as he wished.? He stuck to his principles and behaved like a gentleman toward both outsiders and family.

Although he was cold to the original host, he had always tolerated her and had never argued with her or even mentioned getting a divorce despite her tendencies to challenge his boundaries.

In a logical sense, he would not treat this biological mother so impolitely.

The only explanation was that she was his stepmother.

Otherwise, there was no reason for her to be afraid of her son!

“Cough…cough cough!”

It seemed that Luo Tianlin’s father was young and vigorous at heart despite being at a ripe age.

No wonder her mother-in-law looked so young.

Then Luo Tianlin’s biological mother...

Xia Bohe could not help but look at Luo Tianlin with sympathy in her eyes.

Had he been just like her in her past life? Could it be that his mother had passed away early on and his father had gotten remarried soon after without bothering to care much about him?

Luo Tianlin lowered his eyes, his gaze meeting with her pitiful, puppy-like eyes. Her eyes were still red-rimmed, giving off a strong sense of endearing pitifulness.

His cold, dark eyes laid on her.

What was going on in that head of hers?

“If you insist on getting a divorce, I can agree to it,” Luo Tianlin said while leaning on the sofa with his long legs crossed. The cloth of his pants bunched up to vaguely reveal the smooth and defined lines of the muscles beneath. “But my grandfather is going to undergo surgery for heart stent insertion. I hope that we can maintain our relationship as husband and wife for the time being. If your mother needs help, I can help to resolve it,” he said.

“You have to maintain your image as my wife in the outside world. You can do as you wish at home.”

“You can leave a year after, at most. I will give you the corresponding monetary compensations. This includes support for your development in the entertainment industry.”

Luo Tianlin’s voice evened out. He did not increase the volume of his voice, but it still gave off a strong sense of oppression all the same. It felt as if she were standing before a tall, precipitous mountain peak.

“Other than that, I hope you would change your habit of not coming home for long periods. Do not worry. I will not touch you,” he declared.

Xia Bohe’s back turned numb.

Did this man still not believe her?

Had he decided to give up on her completely after seeing the text message she sent out to the senior inviting him to meet her in the changing room?

Had he resisted himself from speaking out earlier because the driver was in the car along with them for the entire journey? Now that they were alone, he was finally speaking out his mind?

She could not get a divorce!

After the original host got a divorce, her life had become miserable. Everything had gone downhill and she had lost everything.

She could not go on the same path as the original host did!

Xia Bohe gritted her teeth. No!

“Did, did you think that I wanted to get a divorce with you after hearing my mother ask me to go on a blind date with President Wang?”

She lowered her head silently and gripped the hem of her shirt.

Luo Tianlin raised his well-defined brows and paused momentarily. He then frowned. “Wang Luhe from Hui Ling Electronics? He is forty years old and divorced,” he said incredulously.

“No, it is President Wang, who has two small supermarket chains under him,” she said.

“??”

“He has been divorced before, and even twice at that. He has two children. He should be almost fifty years of age now.”

“…??” Luo Tianlin was dazed.
