882 It's my fault for getting married too early.
Chen Mo met Bai Yulan's undisguised, somewhat direct, "aggressive" gaze, his fingertips lightly tracing patterns on his fingers, a faint sigh playing on his lips:
It's not that I'm unwilling to introduce you to someone.
He paused, his gaze lingering on her slightly raised chin, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness that seemed both genuine and feigned:
"I'm just afraid that in such a big circle, I won't find anyone who is good enough for you."
Bai Yulan's eyebrows suddenly twitched slightly, and a sly smile flashed across her eyes.
Chen Mo's words were clearly a compliment disguised in a subtle way.
You should know that the man in front of you is a figure hailed as a "god-like existence" by countless financial magazines in the business world.
Any woman would secretly feel pleased to hear him praise her.
She gently twisted the hem of her skirt, suppressing the smugness that was quietly rising in her heart, but deliberately drew out her words, asking with a hint of probing:
"Your Chen Group has tens of thousands of employees, and you have plenty of elite executives. Don't you even have a suitable one?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo shook his head, feigning distress, but his tone held a hint of teasing:
"There's nothing we can do. All the outstanding young men are already taken. Haven't you heard the saying? Truly exceptional men never circulate in the 'marriage market'—too many women are eyeing them, and once someone has them in their grasp, they won't easily let go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yulan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness and defiance:
"So, according to you, excellent women will be in high demand?"
Chen Mo finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, tapping his fingertip lightly on the table:
"It won't circulate in essence, but the reason isn't with men, it's with women themselves."
When it comes to matters of the heart, Bai Yulan is actually quite clueless.
Even though I've seen too much romance and power struggles in politics and business.
Having never truly been in the situation, he inevitably only had a vague understanding of Chen Mo's words, and even vaguely felt that he was trying to "trick" him in a roundabout way.
"My own fault?"
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness, like a cautious kitten.
"You wouldn't be thinking of using me as a CPU, would you?"
Chen Mo's joking expression vanished, and his tone became more serious:
"Most women subconsciously seek a partner who is better than themselves – whether it's appearance, financial strength, or personal ability."
Bai Yulan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, her fingertips hovering in mid-air before she slowly nodded.
These words do indeed hit the nail on the head regarding a common phenomenon around her.
Among the female entrepreneurs and socialites she knows, there are very few "strong woman, weak man" couples. A small number are evenly matched, but in most cases the man is more outstanding, and very few are where the woman is stronger than the man.
"But men are quite the opposite,"
Chen Mo changed the subject, his tone revealing a clear understanding of reality.
"Most men are more inclined to be downwardly compatible. Ultimately, this is due to the differences in male and female thinking, coupled with various realistic factors in today's society, which has led to this phenomenon."
Seeing Bai Yulan's thoughtful expression, he continued:
"Think about it, excellent men can look down on men, but excellent women are unwilling to compromise down on men; they only want to be compatible with men."
"As a result, it becomes naturally difficult for some of the most outstanding women to find a suitable partner."
Bai Yulan listened quietly, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt.
These words were like a pebble, creating ripples in her heart.
She never imagined that her single status was not just a matter of personal choice, but also involved such social factors.
"Besides, sister-in-law, you're a woman at the very top of the pyramid,"
Chen Mo's tone became more teasing.
"Finding someone you can approve of is naturally even harder."
Bai Yulan immediately felt a little unconvinced, gently placing her hands on her full breasts, her tone carrying a hint of coquettish dissatisfaction:
"According to you, I won't be able to find a partner."
"You're blaming me for being too outstanding?"
Chen Mo quickly shook his head gently, his tone sincere: "Then it's definitely not your fault."
"Then who's to blame?" Bai Yulan pressed, her eyes softening slightly.
Chen Mo looked at her, then suddenly sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of playful seriousness:
"Blame me."
Bai Yulan was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion: "???"
Chen Mo spoke slowly, his tone filled with compassion:
"Sigh~ It's my fault for getting married too early."
Bai Yulan was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant. She couldn't help but purse her lips and glare at him, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, her voice carrying a hint of reproachful laughter:
"Someone is really... getting more and more shameless."
