Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout in your heart.

Lin Sui held Paipai in her arms every day, wondering if this was Zhou Dang's child. She recalled over and over again that she and Qin Chen had indeed taken precautions, but not Zhou Dang. Logically, it should be Zhou Dang's child, but whether it was a hint from within or some other reason, the more Lin Sui looked at Paipai, the more she thought he looked like Qin Chen.

Zhou Dang didn't notice Lin Sui's abnormality at all. He continued to eat and drink as usual, and didn't take anything to heart.

Lin Sui had considered doing a paternity test, but she felt that once she took that step, there would be no turning back, because everything would change.

She told herself, let it be, as long as she didn't investigate, Paipai was Zhou Dang's child. Besides, it was just a suspicion now, right?

Zhou Dang was obviously extremely happy these two days, because the three-month agreement he and Lin Sui had made had expired. A man who had been hungry for three months had no patience at all.

Lin Sui also kept her promise. After all, if she delayed any longer, Zhou Dang would have jumped off the building. However, she did care about her health. After it was over, she kept asking Zhou Dang how he felt and whether there were any changes.

Zhou Dang was confused. "What changes?"

Lin Sui punched Zhou Dang. "What do you think? I gave birth to a child. Can't you feel any changes?"

Zhou Dang uttered an "oh," "I've been absent for three months, so how could I have the time to experience all that? I just said it this way, the way Zhu Bajie eats the ginseng fruit is the way I feel."

"Go to hell." Lin Sui didn't know if Zhou Dang was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so he deliberately laughed it off.

"How about we do it again? This time I'll write you a review, okay?" Zhou Dang came up again.

"Get lost!" Lin Sui stood up. "I'm not in the mood. I'm going to play with my son."

Qin Chen’s third hot pot restaurant officially entered trial operation, and the store manager was still selected from the waiters of the old store. This time it was Xue Xiaowan.

When Wan Qing heard the news, her back teeth almost broke. How did that vixen get to the same position as her? She couldn't help but wonder if Qin Chen was having an affair with her.

In fact, she was completely overthinking it. It was just because Xue Xiaowan had the most positive reviews among the old store's reviews, that's all.

Wan Qing has been very upset recently. For some reason, Feng Tian proposed to marry her the day before yesterday and said that he had saved some money so holding a wedding would not be a problem.

Wan Qing rolled her eyes to the sky. She sneered and asked Feng Tian, ​​"The wedding is fine, but what about after the wedding? We'll be left with nothing."

Feng Tian said, "How could that be? We're holding the wedding in our hometown, so we're sure to receive donations. Besides, my parents also promised to give me 50,000 yuan to buy you the three golds."

"Your parents are really good at thinking of good things. They don't want to spend a penny to marry me? They just want to buy me three golds for 50,000 yuan and get rid of me?"

Feng Tian lowered his head a little embarrassedly. "You know my family's financial situation. We really can't afford the betrothal gift. Otherwise, I would give you the gift money. My parents said they can get about 30,000 or 40,000 yuan."

The more Wan Qing listened, the sadder she felt. She looked at Feng Tian carefully. He was obviously very handsome and treated her well, but he was poor. She really couldn't tolerate this. It was okay for them to have a relationship, but she had never considered getting married.

She sighed, "I think we are both still too young. Why don't we wait a few years and then talk about it. Maybe we will be financially well off by then." Anyway, Wan Qing would delay as much as possible. She didn't want to break up with Feng Tian now.

Feng Tian smiled bitterly. He looked at Wan Qing. Wan Qing now dressed like an urban beauty and became a small leader at work. The gap between him and her was getting bigger and bigger. She never let him go to the restaurant where she worked to eat, and never let him pick her up from work. He was not a fool. He knew that Wan Qing looked down on him more and more.

"Wan Qing, I may not be very capable, but I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I've been thinking lately that I've saved quite a bit of money over the years, and it's enough for me to start a small business back home. How about you come back with me? We won't get married, but instead use the money to start a business and let you be the boss's wife?"

Wan Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, but soon dimmed again.

She could imagine the scene after returning. The two of them would be so busy that they couldn't even turn around to get to the shop. To put it nicely, she was the boss lady, but to put it bluntly, she was also the waiter, chef, and miscellaneous worker.

She doesn't want to live that kind of life.

"Even if I die, I want to die in Jiangbei." Wan Qing said to Feng Tian word by word.

"I understand." Feng Tian stood up. His expression was lonely, disappointed, and contained some unclear complex emotions. Wan Qing turned his head away and didn't look at him.

"I'm going to deliver the takeaway. It's time for dinner." Feng Tian put on his delivery clothes and went out.

This episode made Wan Qing even more anxious, but Qin Chen refused to show up. He devoted himself to the third store and never came to the second store.

In the end, Wan Qing couldn't help it and sent a WeChat message to Qin Chen. It was a selfie with a large neckline. She believed that Qin Chen would understand what she meant.

But this news was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news of it.

Wan Qing knew that this was Qin Chen's silent rejection and she had no hope.

She had been holding her breath, waiting for Qin Chen to divorce, but in the end, she waited in vain. She suddenly felt relieved and fell seriously ill with a high fever of 40 degrees.

It was because Feng Tian brought her water and medicine and took care of her day and night that she gradually got better.

Feng Tian stopped his delivery job and cooked three meals a day for Wan Qing at home. The light and delicious meals gradually restored Wan Qing's appetite, and his complexion became more and more rosy.

Wan Qing was touched, but she also hated it. Why did she have such a bad fate when they were both born and raised by the same parents? Why were there so many phoenixes flying to the treetops, but she was not one of them?

She started crying while eating. Feng Tian asked her what was wrong in panic, and she cried and told him all her grievances.

"I just can't accept this. A woman who's not as pretty as me lives in a big house, while I can only squeeze into this shabby rental house with you and have to work for a long time every day. What's wrong with me? I can't accept this!"

Feng Tian listened silently, and understood in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm incompetent. I'm sorry for you."

Feng Tian had never dreamed of the kind of life Wan Qing wanted. He was good-looking, and when delivering food, his colleagues would always tease him about going to nightclubs to make money quickly. He even met a female customer who asked for his contact information and wanted to keep him, but he refused. He felt that earning money with his own hands would make him feel more at ease.

Obviously, Wan Qing had different ideas from him.
