Chen Feng naturally didn't plan to pay for Zhao Zixuan, after all, he's not her boyfriend.

Besides, if he paid, it might cause a misunderstanding, which is even more unnecessary.

So, when Zhao Zixuan went back to the fitting room to change and both went to the cash register to scan the code for payment, Chen Feng just watched the entire time.

After Zhao Zixuan paid, they both left the store, and Chen Feng called the owner, expressing his satisfaction with the shop and asked for a price; if reasonable, he'd buy it in full.

The other party was very happy upon hearing this and immediately quoted a price: the shop is 120 square meters, and the current market price is 18,000 per square meter, totaling 2.16 million.

Although Chen Feng wasn't very clear about the shop prices in Yuelou Town, the quoted price seemed comparable to market rates in a county, which was clearly unreasonable.

The economy of Yuelou Town is relatively developed, but the housing prices cannot be compared to those in a county, with at least a difference of two to three thousand.

However, Chen Feng didn't want to haggle too much, so he said directly: "I don't want to bargain with you, a fixed price of 2 million. If you agree, I'll buy it and pay in full."

The other party hesitated for a moment and then said, "I need to think about it and discuss it with my husband."

"Alright, try to discuss it quickly and let me know. How long will it take?"

"Not long, I can call him, and I can get back to you in minutes."

After hanging up, Chen Feng and Zhao Zixuan found a seat to rest.

Zhao Zixuan smiled and asked, "Are you planning to buy the shop today?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "If it's possible, I'll buy it today."

He's got more money than he knows what to do with right now. Besides, it's only 2 million; buying it won't be a loss in the future. There's no need to hesitate or be indecisive. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zhao Zixuan laughed, "Looks like you're quite well-off."

"Not really."

Chen Feng wasn't being modest. With assets worth hundreds of millions, he's relatively wealthy in their countryside but not at all impressive in Xiu Zhou City, and even in Lu City or Lin Nan, it's not that much.

He's very self-aware and won't be like other newly rich, getting cocky as soon as they get a bit of money, to the point their feet don't touch the ground when walking.

"Can you tell me exactly how much you have now?" Zhao Zixuan looked at him with a smile, her tone very casual.

Chen Feng glanced at her and coolly asked, "Don't tell me you're interested in me?"

Zhao Zixuan was stunned at first, then covered her mouth and laughed lightly, also asking, "Are you interested in me?"

Chen Feng replied without hesitation, "Not interested."

Zhao Zixuan immediately felt uneasy and quickly asked, "Why?"

Chen Feng turned his head to look at her and said very seriously, "I'm not suitable for you. I got divorced last year and have already found several lovers this year. I don't plan to get married within the next two or three years. Even if I intend to get married in the future, it's unlikely I can change my womanizing ways."

Chen Feng wasn't stupid. From when she proactively let him take her to Qingpu Town and then entered his house, he could see that this old classmate seemed to be interested in him.

Today, her intentions in approaching him were even more obvious.

So, taking this opportunity to talk, Chen Feng figured it was better to make things clear sooner rather than later.

He's already got enough romantic entanglements and doesn't want to add another one. Furthermore, Zhao Zixuan is not an ordinary woman; her family background means that Chen Feng can't afford to provoke her.

They should just remain ordinary friends and maintain their old classmate relationship.

Hearing Chen Feng speak so openly, Zhao Zixuan's expression dimmed a bit. She had a hard time finding a man she was interested in, coincidentally her high school classmate for three years, and importantly, he had no children. His divorce was not such a big deal.

Moreover, Chen Feng was now mature and composed, "young and wealthy," handsome, and entirely her ideal type, very suitable to be her husband.

However, it seemed like Chen Feng had absolutely no interest in her.

This dealt a heavy blow to her confidence built over the years. She had never been so directly and decisively rejected by a man before; previously, it was only her doing the rejecting.

"You're already thirty, without children, and you don't plan to get married within the next two or three years. When do you plan to marry? When you're forty or fifty and then have kids?"

Zhao Zixuan asked Chen Feng irritably.

Chen Feng replied calmly, "Who says you need to be married to have kids? Some of my lovers are already pregnant."

Zhao Zixuan was hit like a thunderbolt and instantly fell silent, not speaking for a while.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng was relieved. She might accept that he's divorced, but she definitely couldn't accept non-marital children and couldn't guarantee he wouldn't cheat even if they married.

Hopefully, this heavy blow would extinguish any improper thoughts she might have had.

Otherwise, Chen Feng would be worried about another high school female classmate entangling with him.

Having someone like Guo Mengyao occasionally made things troublesome for him, and adding a more influential family background like Zhao Zixuan would be too much for him to handle.

Zhao Zixuan was indeed beautiful, possibly even better than Wu Mengting when considering various conditions, but he's not going to give up the whole forest for just this one tree.

Chen Feng didn't say anything more to her. Fortunately, the silence between them didn't last long as the shop owner called back, saying: "I've discussed it with my husband, and we agree to the 2 million price, but you'll have to cover all the taxes and fees. If you have no objections, we can sign the contract and transfer the property anytime."
