After overtime in the workshop, Tian Caiyun was the last one to leave.

"Manager Tian!"

When she walked out of the workshop building, Cao Juzheng suddenly appeared from the side and called her, which scared her.

"You're crazy! Don't you know that scaring people can kill them?"

"I'm sorry, Manager Tian, ​​I didn't mean to scare you. I was waiting here specifically to explain something to you..."

"What are you explaining? Explain! Is there anything between you and me that needs to be explained? How come I don't know about it?"

"That's it, I really didn't know you knew Fang Ting..."

"Why do you need to explain whether I know her or not? You're so self-righteous! If you're waiting here just to tell me about this, then we've already talked about it! Get out of my way, I'm going back to the dorm to sleep!"

"Manager Tian——"

Tian Caiyun said this coldly and was about to leave, but Cao Juzheng grabbed her arm.

She was so angry that she threw him away and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Manager Tian, ​​no, Caiyun, you were willing to lend me money, teach me how to turn a machine, and even invite me out for dinner. What does that mean?"

When Tian Caiyun heard Cao Juzheng calling her by her name, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This was the first time he had called her by her name in all the months they had been working together.

Even when they occasionally went to a restaurant near the factory to eat and chat alone, he always called her "Manager Tian" and never dared to call her by her name like an ordinary friend.

"Cao Juzheng, are you delusional?"

"I lent you money because you are my subordinate and you have no money to eat. As your boss, I feel sorry for you, so I lent you money out of humanitarianism."

"As for teaching you how to be a lathe operator, it's entirely for the sake of improving the production efficiency of the workshop. One more lathe operator means faster production. Don't you understand that?"

"Okay, even if I'm overthinking this, then the few times you asked me out for dinner, it has nothing to do with humanitarianism or the production efficiency of the workshop, right?"

"How do you explain this? Aren't you interested in me too?"

"Are you crazy? Who's interested in you? Having a meal with colleagues is just a normal thing!"

"Besides, I asked you to go out for dinner because I saw you were poor. I was afraid you would spend all your salary lavishly and wouldn't even have enough money for travel expenses to go home for the New Year. So I wanted to save you a few meals!

"Haha, there are a lot of poor colleagues. Why don't you ask them to eat with you and save them a few meal expenses?"

"you--"

Seeing that Cao Juzheng was questioning her so relentlessly, Tian Caiyun suddenly felt a little angry.

She then took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

After calming himself down, he said, "Okay, just wait and see. I'll treat other poor colleagues to a meal together tomorrow to help him save some meal money!"

"Let's see if your self-righteous delusion can be cured?"

After Tian Caiyun finished speaking, she glared at Cao Juzheng coldly and then hurried away.

When Cao Juzheng heard her words, he opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment. Then he stood there blankly, staring at her departing back for a long time.

Then he returned to the dormitory with a disappointed look on his face.

After lying down on the bed, Cao Juzheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He didn't know when he started to like Tian Caiyun, who seemed mean to him on the surface but actually cared for him very much.

Maybe it's love that grows over time?

Or maybe it was because she offered to lend him 20 yuan that time because she was worried that he would have no money for dinner on Sunday, and he was so touched that he fell in love with her.

After all, from the time he grew up until now, no woman except his mother had ever cared about him so much.

Care whether he is hungry or not.

Including Mu Fangting.

At the beginning, when he was pursuing Mu Fangting, he was always nice to her, and Mu Fangting was just the one who passively accepted his kindness.

Now that Mu Fangting thinks carefully about him, apart from agreeing to marry him, she doesn't seem to have done anything to care about him.

In the first few years after their marriage, the two were indeed quite loving for a while, otherwise, they would not have given birth to two children in succession.

However, my mother has never liked Mu Fangting.

She was very bothered by the scandal she had previously had with Du Wenli, which was well-known throughout the brigade.

He felt that she was not worthy of his son.

Therefore, their love, which was not solid and deep, was always mixed with some unpleasant things and frictions.

It is these unpleasantness and frictions that have accumulated over time, but the couple always choose to avoid them, never bringing them up head-on to have a good talk and resolve them thoroughly.

So later on, the rift between them grew deeper and deeper, so deep that no one was able to resolve it.

In the end, they became a pair of resentful couples.

However, even though Mu Fangting ran away from home, he still had feelings for her in his heart, but this feeling was a mixture of love and resentment.

He thought that Mu Fangting should be the same as him.

But in the past few months since coming to Shenzhen, Mu Fangting has been using her busy work as an excuse to not want him to come to her, and she doesn't come to him either.

He gradually began to suspect that perhaps her feelings for him had long been different from his feelings for her.

On the other side, my wife has always been perfunctory and cold to me.

On this side, Tian Caiyun was attentive, caring and attentive to herself.

Cao Juzheng's heart naturally leaned more towards the latter unconsciously. He also thought that Tian Caiyun had the same feelings as him and must have fallen in love with him.

But tonight, when he heard her flatly deny that she was interested in him, Cao Juzheng felt a little confused and heartbroken.
