Reincarnation: I Have Always Been Rich

Panda Novel

"Young Master, it wasn't easy for Miss Meng'er to take the initiative to call you for afternoon tea. Why are you still so unhappy?" Chen Ming's assistant asked.

"It's not too late for me to be happy after I figure out why Meng'er asked me for afternoon tea." Chen Ming didn't say it directly. His intuition told him that it wasn't a good thing for Chen Meng'er to look for him.

The place where Chen Meng'er asked Chen Ming to have afternoon tea was not a hidden place. It was a coffee shop. Chen Meng'er quite liked to eat their cake. It should be said that this was the only shop where Chen Meng'er would buy cake from outside.

Elder Liu and Elder Qu, who knew that their granddaughter liked to eat the cake from this coffee shop, had once tried to poach the head baker from this coffee shop at a high price. Fortunately, Chen Meng'er stopped them quickly.

Chen Meng'er arrived earlier than Chen Ming. She ordered the coffee and cake that she often had and found a seat by the window.

Xu Lele and Qiu Jing called Chen Meng'er early in the morning to ask how things were going. When they got the news from Chen Meng'er that she had an appointment with Chen Ming for afternoon tea today to discuss matters, the two of them immediately became excited.

On the phone, they shouted and asked Chen Meng'er where she had arranged to meet him.

Chen Meng'er knew Xu Lele and Qiu Jing very well, how could she tell the two of them where she had arranged to meet Chen Ming? If she told the two of them, it would be terrible.

"Meng'er, you've been here for a long time." Just when Chen Meng'er was looking out of the window and thinking about her two friends who had completely different personalities from her, Chen Ming sat opposite her.

"No, I just arrived not long ago. It's been a long time since I last ate the cake from this shop. I got greedy and came a little early." After Chen Ming confessed to her, Chen Meng'er wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. However, the result was that she couldn't do it. She really couldn't do it.

She really couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. As usual, she could get along with Chen Ming easily.

Chen Ming also quickly made Chen Meng'er uncomfortable. Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said to Chen Meng'er, "Meng'er, I really don't want my confession to become a burden for you. It will become a barrier between the two of us."

"I know. But, Chen Ming, I still can't help but feel a little uncomfortable." As she said that, Chen Meng'er lowered her head and picked up the coffee cup. After drinking a mouthful of coffee, she raised her head again and looked at Chen Ming. "Chen Ming, I asked you out today because I have something to clarify with you."

Chen Ming saw Chen Meng'er's serious expression, and the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger. "Go ahead."

"I'm sorry about that. I can't accept your confession. I've always treated you as my brother and as a friend." Chen Meng'er took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say that.

Chen Ming had long been prepared for Chen Meng'er's rejection. However, even though he was mentally prepared, he still found it difficult to accept Chen Meng'er's rejection with his own ears. His heart had already shattered when Chen Meng'er said her first words.

"Do I really not have a chance at all?" Chen Ming's heart was in pain, but there was still a smile on his face. However, such a smile made Chen Meng'er feel even more uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry." She wanted to say a few words to comfort Chen Ming, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that other than being sorry, she couldn't say anything else.

"Don't say sorry. In this kind of thing, no one is right or wrong." The last thing Chen Ming wanted to hear from Chen Meng'er was the word 'sorry'. "Can you tell me, did you reject me because of Yuwen Jing?"

Although Chen Ming knew that there was no possibility between him and Chen Meng'er, and Chen Meng'er had already clearly rejected him, he still couldn't help but ask this question. Because he was still unwilling to accept it.

"No. It's not because of anyone, but because of myself. I've always treated you as my brother and friend. I have never thought about the two of us being a couple," Chen Meng'er said honestly.

"Then why is it possible for Yuwen Jing?" Chen Ming still asked with some reluctance.

"Why is it possible for Yuwen Jing?" Chen Meng'er heard Chen Ming ask this question, but she didn't answer immediately. She was immersed in her own thoughts. She also asked herself, why was it not possible for others?

However, Chen Meng'er thought for a long time, but she couldn't think of an answer that was good enough. "I don't know either. I don't know why only he can do it."

In fact, there were many times when emotional matters could not be explained. When it came, it came. There were not so many reasons.

"Meng'er, do I really have no chance at all? You don't have to answer me so urgently. Give me an answer. You can go back and think about it again." Chen Ming still did not give up, he did not want to accept his fate. He still wanted to fight for a chance for himself.

"Chen Ming, I've thought it through very clearly. It's impossible for me to be with you. Yesterday, after you confessed to me, I thought that if I rejected you, we wouldn't even be friends anymore. And I've never thought about what would happen if I were to be with you." When Chen Meng'er spoke, she couldn't bear to meet Chen Ming's eyes.

If it was someone else who confessed to her, Chen Meng'er would definitely reject them cleanly and decisively. However, this person was Chen Ming. She couldn't be so ruthless.

Because of Chen Meng'er's words, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence. Chen Meng'er lowered her head and drank her coffee. She didn't dare look up at Chen Ming. She didn't want to see the unconcealable sadness in Chen Ming's eyes.

"Meng'er, why are you here?" Just when Chen Meng'er didn't know how to end the situation, Yuwen Jing's voice rang in her ears.

She looked up and saw that Yuwen Jing was already standing in front of her. "Chen Ming, you're here too."

"Yes. What a coincidence." The corners of Chen Ming's mouth twitched, but in the end, he gave up on smiling. In front of Yuwen Jing, the winner, Chen Ming really could not smile. "I really didn't expect to meet a busy person like you in this coffee shop."

"I also didn't expect to meet the young master of the Wharton family here. Oh right, Meng'er, I bought your favorite cake for you. I originally wanted to send it to the Green Gang, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
