Chapter 076: Tan Rui's Thoughts

"Why aren't you going in?" Tan Rui came over and naturally sat next to Chen Wei, with only one seat between them, then smiled and asked.

Chen Wei, seeing it was Tan Rui, was somewhat surprised but still politely replied, "It's a bit chaotic inside, just came out for some fresh air."

Tan Rui nodded and put on a somewhat shy and reserved expression, occasionally stealing glances at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei's thoughts were racing.

Normally, Tan Rui shouldn't know him.

Even if they had met briefly when Lin Xuan toasted him earlier, Tan Rui shouldn't have come over to greet him.

Chen Wei was self-aware enough to know he wasn't handsome enough to attract Tan Rui's attention like this.

There was only one explanation: Pan Jing must have mentioned him to Tan Rui!

And whether Tan Rui had come over just out of curiosity or genuinely wanted to know more about him, it was hard to say, but one thing was certain—if he wasn't earning over a million a month, Tan Rui wouldn't even spare him a glance.

Let alone acting all coy and shy like this.

Realizing this, Chen Wei became somewhat cold and stopped paying attention to Tan Rui, continuing to browse his phone.

In fact, there wasn't much on his phone, just casually browsing through his friends' updates.

Tan Rui was a bit annoyed.

Other men would light up and try to please her when they saw her, but this Chen Wei just ignored her!

Was she less appealing than a phone?

But then she remembered what Wang Li had said, that Chen Wei was somewhat introverted and hardly interacted with people. Tan Rui felt a bit relieved.

Maybe he was just shy and didn't know how to talk to her.

Thinking this, Tan Rui decided she had to be more proactive.

She asked, "Did you know Lin Xuan's drink was water just now?"

Actually, the water Lin Xuan drank was in a Maotai bottle, and only Liu Jia had held the bottle, so no one else knew if it was water or liquor inside.

But Tan Rui was smart and had already figured out it was water.

"I didn't know at first, but after drinking it, I did. Actually, it makes sense. If Lin Xuan really drank alcohol, with all those toasts, he'd be dead drunk, and how would he have consummated the marriage tonight?"

Chen Wei said casually.

"Hehehe... you're annoying!" Tan Rui burst into laughter and then chided him.

Chen Wei was puzzled by her reaction.

But he quickly understood—she was reacting to the consummation part...

Chen Wei coughed awkwardly, not having intended to bring that up.

"Aren't you worried about how the newlyweds will consummate their marriage?"

Tan Rui leaned towards Chen Wei again, her charming demeanor mixed with a hint of shyness, then said, her face blushing slightly after speaking.

"Uh..."

Chen Wei felt a bit embarrassed and also a bit strange.

The Economics College of Yun University was known for its beautiful women.

Tan Rui, being recognized as one of the top five beauties in the college, was impeccable in both figure and appearance.

At this moment, Tan Rui was wearing a strapless dress, with light makeup on, and was so close that Chen Wei could even feel the warmth of her breath!

He was just being a bit indifferent to Tan Rui, not repulsed by her. Moreover, there were some physiological instincts that he couldn't control!

Taking a sneak peek at Tan Rui's magnificent view, Chen Wei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and quickly looked away.

Tan Rui saw this in his eyes and secretly felt proud, slightly distancing herself from Chen Wei.

Tan Rui was a savvy woman, and although she had only interacted with Chen Wei for a short time, she could tell he was also a savvy man.

Facing such a man, if she appeared too eager, it would only backfire!

In terms of grasping the situation, Tan Rui was an expert, especially when dealing with men.

She could sense Chen Wei's subtle guard against her, and she also knew where this guard came from.

Thinking from another perspective, if a man suddenly showed affection for her for no reason, she would also be cautious.

However, Tan Rui was confident in herself. She believed that with her charm, she could win over Chen Wei!

Actually, Tan Rui wasn't impressed by Chen Wei's 1.47 million monthly income. Among the men who pursued her, there were plenty of tycoons with tens or even hundreds of millions in assets.

But none of them caught her eye.

What she sought in a lifelong partner wasn't just wealth!

Character and ability were what she truly valued!

Earning 1.47 million a month showed that Chen Wei had ability!

Earning so much money and still calmly and confidently wearing cheap clothes to attend a wedding showed that Chen Wei was down-to-earth and not flashy!

Faced with Lin Xuan's provocations, Chen Wei could easily defuse them, showing that he had skills!

And most importantly, Wang Li spoke highly of him!

Tan Rui could even see a hint of admiration in Wang Li's eyes when she talked about Chen Wei, something Wang Li herself might not even be aware of!

A man who could make a beauty like Wang Li secretly admire him definitely had something outstanding.

Wang Li's evaluation of Chen Wei was just two words: steady and reliable!

And these were exactly what Tan Rui valued!

Tan Rui maintained some distance, making Chen Wei feel less awkward, and they continued to chat.

"Oh, by the way, Chen Wei, let me give you my contact information. Since we're all in Yunzhou, we might have a chance to meet more often in the future."

Tan Rui said and was about to take out her phone but then realized she had left it in the restroom.

Tan Rui had just taken the initiative to exchange contact information, and Chen Wei couldn't refuse, so he took out his phone to jot down Tan Rui's number.

"I forgot to bring my phone, so just remember my number."

Tan Rui said to Chen Wei and then recited her phone number.

Chen Wei noted down Tan Rui's number, but when editing her name, he hesitated for a moment because he didn't know which character "Rui" was.

Tan Rui reacted quickly and pointed to Chen Wei's phone, saying, "This 'Rui' means wise and intelligent."

Chen Wei suddenly understood and entered Tan Rui's name.

As they leaned their heads naturally close to each other at that moment, Chen Wei heard a cold snort!

Looking up, it was Xu Lili!
