What a temper!

So jealous!

It's likely that the two parted on bad terms.

"Received, mission accomplished."

Jiang Mian replied and quickly hung up the phone.

If that phone call had lasted just three more seconds, his bonus for the month would have been gone.

Ever since Tang Li divorced Huo Chenyu, his temper has become increasingly volatile. He used to be a very stable person, but now he gets angry at the drop of a hat.

Jiang Mian sighed, looked at the elevator entrance, and waited for Tang Li to come out.

He hung up too early and didn't hear what Huo Chenyu said on the other end of the phone:

"Wait, there's something else I wanted to ask you..."

He didn't even utter the word "thing".

The beeping sound of the game idling came through, and Huo Chenyu flew into a rage, coughing so hard he almost choked on his own breath.

A few minutes later, Jiang Mian called.

"Boss, I didn't see Madam at the elevator."

Huo Chenyu really wanted to fire him.

"Don't tell me you're waiting in the garage."

Jiang Mian looked at the garage and suddenly felt a pang of regret for her bonus this month.

Sure enough, the bonus was gone.

Tang Li left from the first floor.

Huo Chenyu was truly speechless. Tang Li had no idea that he would be waiting in the garage. For someone who didn't drive himself, going downstairs was obviously faster.

There's no way to catch up now; it's like a bonus that's been deducted—you can only get it back next month.

Fortunately, after Huo Chenyu sat down, took his medicine, and drank a glass of warm water, he caught his breath and asked Jiang Mian:

What's the deal with "my weak and helpless mistress"?

He knows how to do this!

Jiang Mian really wanted to thank his ex-girlfriend, who had been so capricious and had turned him into her ex-boyfriend. If she hadn't forced him to watch TV series with her, this question would have really stumped him.

It seems we can't bring him back.

But we can still work harder for the bonus.

"Boss, if I do a good job, can you not deduct my bonus this month? My ex-girlfriend left me because she thought my income was too low and that I had no future. If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married in my life."

Jiang Mian started playing the victim.

Huo Chenyu couldn't believe it: "What? In Tanzhou, a city where the average salary is only a little over 7,000 yuan, even if I offer you a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, you still can't find a wife?"

Jiang Mian had been with him for many years. He gave her a house and a car, and her income was far higher than the average wage.

Huo Chenyu even arranged jobs for Jiang Mian's adoptive parents.

"Then you should reflect on yourself, and not just focus on your income."

Huo Chenyu kindly reminded him.

After all, Jiang Mian is a talented man who graduated from the Normal University. Although his appearance is not outstanding, he can still stand out in a crowd if he dresses up properly.

Alright.

I don't need this bonus.

Jiang Mian readily admitted defeat: "I've embarrassed the boss, I'll reflect on my actions."

"Wait a minute," Huo Chenyu called out to him.

"You still haven't told me what that meme is all about?"

To show that he really wanted to know, Huo Chenyu said, "I can let you off the bonus, considering you can't even get a wife."

As long as his bonus isn't deducted, he'll accept being called a fool.

Jiang Mian laughed and said:

"I've sent you the name of that TV series. Take your time to watch it; it's hard to explain in just a few words."

Huo Chenyu really wanted to deduct his bonus.

If something can't be explained in a few words, wouldn't he say a few more words?

He doesn't have that much free time to binge-watch TV shows.

Despite his complaints, Huo Chenyu turned on the TV, which was almost never turned on at home, settled into a comfortable position, and started watching the show.

After leaving Huo Chenyu's place, Tang Li did not return to Tang Sui's home.

Instead, they returned to Nanqiao Villa.

Lu Zhixing was at home.

As if he knew she would be back today, Lu Zhixing was cooking in the kitchen and wasn't very surprised to see Tang Li return.

Instead, they spoke like an old married couple:

"You're back just in time. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

I'm really hungry.

Tang Li was exhausted after staying up all night last night and not sleeping well lately. In addition, the conversation with Lin Yiyun and Huo Chenyu was too tiring.

But you still have to eat.

She left her luggage in the entryway, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen for a meal.

Did you cook for me? I've had a bit of an appetite lately.

Lu Zhixing handed her a pair of chopsticks:

"Be careful, it's hot. Try it, it should be to your liking."

There was rice cooked for two people in the pot.

Tang Li was very surprised:

Did you know I was coming back?

Lu Zhixing brought the food to the table and said with a smile, "Would you believe me if I said I cook for two people every day?"

Tang Li shook his head.

“You must be extremely busy lately. I’ve been following your competition with the Huo family. Losing the bid isn’t a huge blow to you, but it does mean you’ll have to work even harder to beat Huo Chenyu.”

He couldn't possibly have the time to come back and cook a meal, waiting for someone who might return at any time to eat.

Seeing how intelligent she was, Lu Zhixing served her dinner.

"Miss Tang, you've forgotten so quickly? You're my girlfriend. It's perfectly normal to care about your girlfriend's schedule, isn't it?"

The word "girlfriend" made Tang Li chuckle.

"I, the writer, wasn't even caught up in the story, but you, the reader, are completely absorbed. So tell me, what do you know about me?"

Lu Zhixing tapped his phone and told her:
