Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145: In Search of the Heir（2）

Lina and Cheng Chen used to be neighbors. Originally, the two didn’t interact with each other much. However, that changed when girls began missending their love letters to Lina’s house. Lina would return the missent letters to Cheng Chen. After a couple of times, the two got to know each other.

Lina was older than Cheng Chen. In the beginning, she only viewed Cheng Chen as an attractive younger brother. However, after some time passed, Lina realized that this younger brother was not only very imposing, he was also very mature. With that change in perspective, she could no longer look at Cheng Chen as a younger brother.

Exploiting her position as his neighbor, Lina successfully captured Cheng Chen, the god of many girls’ hearts.

The two, who were ignorant of sex, soon tasted the forbidden fruit. Not long after, Lina realized that she was pregnant, and the two could no longer hide their relationship from their respective families.

Under the intervention of their families, the two broke up. Lina’s family moved, and she lost connection with Cheng Chen.

“Are you married?” Lina asked Cheng Chen.

“No,” he responded truthfully.

“Just as I expected. How could your wanton and unrestrained personality allow you to be bound by emotions? In reality, I should thank my family. They were right in telling me to leave you. You already knew how to play around with girls at such a young age, so who knew how wily you would become as you grew up? If I stayed with you, I could have been very deeply hurt,” Lina teased.

“Yeah, I now only discuss needs. I leave feelings out of it entirely. What about you? Are you married?” Cheng Chen asked.

Lina shrugged. “I’ve gotten married and then had a divorce.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m barren.” There was a smile on Lina’s face, as if she was talking about someone other than herself.

Cheng Chen, however, jerked his head up in surprise. “Why?”

Part of him wondered if their child was somehow the reason that Lina had become barren.

“What do you mean why? Barren is barren.” Lina’s smile was light and gentle. When she saw Cheng Chen’s expression grow heavy, she smiled and said, “There is no need for you to blame yourself. The fact that I am barren is unrelated to you. It is a problem with my physique.”

Lina adjusted her posture, and when she looked at Cheng Chen, there weren’t any romantic feelings in her eyes. Her gaze was calm, as if she was looking at an old friend that she hadn’t seen in many years. Her eyes were full of familiarity and warmth, but not love.

“In reality, I was also very surprised to see you under these circumstances.” Lina paused for a moment before continuing, “However, there’s a reason that I wanted to see you.”

“Oh? What do you need me for?” Cheng Chen asked. “I’m happy to help with anything that you need. However, I don’t think that the grand chairwoman of LAYNA would need help from me, the president of an entertainment company.”

There was no self-mockery in Cheng Chen’s voice. In truth, he really didn’t think that there was anything he could do that would help someone like Lina.

“I definitely don’t need your help with anything.” Lina nodded and adjusted her posture. She gracefully crossed her legs and then said to Cheng Chen, “I’ve come back to do two things. First, I wanted to test the Yuan Teng Corporation’s bottom line and personally evaluate Ruan Zeyan’s ability. I want to open a business in Asia so that I will no longer be restrained by Ruan Zeyan. However, Ruan Zeyan is much more capable than I gave him credit for. Even his wife exceeds my expectations. It seems that if I want to achieve my goals, I will need to work harder.”
