Her hand unconsciously touched his chest, his full pectoral muscles, and she was suddenly at a loss for what to do, whether to withdraw her hand or leave it there.

She hesitated for a moment.

"You're still feeling weak, and you still want to eat fried chicken?"

Zheng Lin felt a sense of disappointment and frustration, and looked down at her face as he spoke.

Su Jin withdrew her hand. "What's it to you? Does my eating fried chicken offend you? That's ridiculous."

Zheng Lin's eyes were sharp as he said, "If others find out, they'll think that my woman, Young Master Zheng, is living a miserable life, so miserable that she can only afford this kind of junk food."

Su Jin: "......"

"Where is the garbage? Fried chicken is still made of chicken, and chicken is rich in protein. I can get the same nutrition."

"You know quite a lot." Zheng Lin sneered, determined to do the opposite of what she said. "Then we'll make soup with you from now on, it'll be more nutritious and healthier."

Maintaining her figure is so difficult, and when she occasionally indulges in a meal she wants, she is constantly prevented from doing so. Su Jin clenched her fist and said, "We are just husband and wife. You don't need to control my diet. What I eat is my freedom."

Zheng Lin coldly replied, "Eat less carcinogens."

Her tone was exactly the same as her parents'.

Su Jin felt that the two of them were thinking completely differently. Why didn't he just put goji berries in his thermos?

The two quickly parted ways; Zheng Lin went to his room to sleep, while Su Jin felt down and picked up her phone to browse the news, but then…

He immediately opened his eyes wide. Several companies had declared bankruptcy that day, including Liu Man's Liu Group.

Among the giant companies, the phrase "Liu's bankruptcy" is the most shocking.

She had heard of the saying "When the weather cools, the king breaks down," but this was the first time she had ever seen so many businesses go bankrupt at once.

Su Jin blinked; Zheng Lin had truly won her heart this time.

Of course, except for not allowing her to eat fried chicken.

So, after lunch, Su Jin personally brought the food to Zheng Lin's room as a gesture of goodwill, moving quietly and deliberately so as not to wake him.

She placed the food on the small round table and then turned around to face the room.

See what else he needs, write it all down in the memo, and have someone go and buy it later.

Actually, she's quite happy with her "married life" now, but some thoughts she shouldn't have started to arise in her mind.

She somewhat wished that he could stay in the house with her forever.

Three meals a day, all year round.

Thinking of this, Su Jin raised her hand and slapped her right cheek. It wasn't hard; she just felt a slight pain.

"Love-obsessed people never end well." Su Jin was very certain, and Zheng Lin would never fall in love with her again. The things he said when they broke up back then were so harsh; no normal person could possibly love her again.

Their luck must have run out the moment they inherited the estate.

She carefully examined Zheng Lin's face, a hint of longing inadvertently showing in her eyes.

One should not be too greedy and want everything.

In order to gain something, she also gave up what she once had and the people she liked.

...

When Zheng Lin woke up, he saw the food on the small table and couldn't help but smile.

The room also had many more useful items, with notes pasted on them.

However, after looking at them, he realized they were all things girls liked, and he couldn't use any of them. So he piled the boxes on the balcony and then tucked the handwritten note into his diary in the drawer.

Since that day, Su Jin secretly moved out of the house and told Assistant Wang that she was going out to play for a while.

Zheng Lin couldn't see Su Jin when he came home every day, and only found out after asking around.

Zheng Lin: "..." Why do I feel like she's avoiding me?

"Chairwoman Su said she was worried you were too busy with work, so she could only travel by herself. She encouraged you to work hard and strive for your goals." Assistant Wang relayed Su Jin's words to Zheng Lin.

At the law firm, Assistant Gao sensed that Zheng Lin was acting strangely; he seemed distracted on several things she asked him.

“This client comes from a poor family and can’t afford much in legal fees.” Assistant Gao knew Zheng Lin’s temperament. If it were any other lawyer, they wouldn’t listen to him at all if they heard there was no legal fee.

But Zheng Lin was different; he had represented the poor in court many times before without taking a penny.

Young Master Zheng is far from lacking money.

Zheng Lin once said something to him that left a deep impression on him: "This is all I can do."

Then, Assistant Gao coughed twice and knocked heavily on the boss's desk twice before Zheng Lin came to his senses and looked at him.

"Why do you look like you've lost your soul?" Assistant Gao said, "I haven't eaten for several days in a row, even though the food has gotten cold."

He ordered the food for me; it was piping hot when it arrived at noon, but now it's 3 p.m. and the food is cold and hard.

"I have no appetite." Zheng Lin pushed the whole box of food aside, cleared a work area, and held out his hand: "Let me see the documents. If there are no problems, get the client's back wages as soon as possible. You're in charge this time."

Assistant Gao nodded. "Thank you for the opportunity, boss. I just remembered, I haven't told you about my new name yet. I'll write it down for you."

Zheng Lin took the pen off the table. "I don't need it."

Assistant Gao frowned. Had his friendship with his boss been damaged?

"Why?" Zheng Lin hesitated, "Actually, I have a friend... no, I have a brother, who recently married his new wife..."

At this point, Zheng Lin hesitated and immediately changed his story: "It was with a woman he was living with. This woman suddenly left, saying she was going on a trip."

Assistant Gao was confused by what Zheng Lin said. He mentioned friends, brothers, wives, and live-in women. The content was chaotic, and the relationships were even more complicated.

His mind was already filled with a complex and sensational news story.

Amidst this utter chaos, Zheng Lin still questioned him: "Why?"

Assistant Gao tentatively tried to find a breakthrough in the problem: "What part are you confused about? Is it your brother, your friend, your live-in woman, or your wife?"

Zheng Lin, for some unknown reason, said, "Never mind, you can leave."

Assistant Gao: "..."

"You seem a bit upset. Is it because of the boss's wife? Did you two have a fight recently?"

Zheng Lin gave him a cold look, a warning.

"Goodbye, boss." Assistant Gao wisely ran off.

Soon it was time for the second round of auditions.

Su Jin had learned some things in a crash course these past few days, but she didn't know if they would come in handy.

Since Gao Wei was also here today, Su Jin deliberately kept her distance from Song Leilei to avoid making things difficult for her.

Outside the studio, Su Jin ran into Wang Keyi.

"I didn't expect to run into you again, Ms. Su. This is the third time." Wang Keyi didn't take out his phone, but asked her, "I heard there's a second round of auditions today. Are you here for the second round?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "Yes."

"It's a bit of a pity, I wasn't there during your first round." Wang Keyi glanced at the vending machine next to him. "Wait a minute."
