Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Five years later, Lin Sui nearly g...
"What are you talking about?" Lin Sui sneered, "Why, in your eyes, am I that careless?"
Zhou Dang also realized that he had spoken out his true feelings in a panic, and quickly tried to make amends.
"No, no, no, I just didn't expect you to be so loyal to me."
"Don't give me that. I just think the time is not right. It was indeed a good opportunity in the car just now, but you ruined it, didn't you?" Lin Sui said angrily to Zhou Dang.
"It seems that I showed up at the right time!" Zhou Dang leaned on the sofa, feeling very happy!
He looked at Lin Sui's thin back and felt a little horny, but who made him promise not to touch her today? Apart from the divorce, Zhou Dang always followed the principle of flattering men and kept his promise.
"What do you do at home at night? Just sit there like this?" Zhou Dang said sarcastically when he saw Lin Sui looking very uncomfortable.
"I'll watch TV." Lin Sui picked up the remote control and randomly clicked on a TV series. She liked the sound at home so that she wouldn't feel lonely.
Zhou Dang squinted his eyes as he watched the TV and yawned. He didn't understand Lin Sui. What was so interesting about this? It was all gossip. Perhaps he was too tired after the fight, so Zhou Dang leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
Lin Sui watched TV for a while and found that there was no sound from behind. Looking back, she found that Zhou Dang was already fast asleep. After all, she couldn't bear to wake him up, so she took a thin blanket to cover him and went to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
Just as he stood up to leave, Zhou Dang's phone vibrated twice, the sound particularly abrupt on the coffee table. Lin Sui frowned and picked it up to turn off the vibration, but to his surprise, his fingerprint unlocked it smoothly...
The page suddenly jumped to WeChat, and a red dot indicating unread messages was displayed next to a kitten's avatar at the top.
"Xiao Rou..." It's obviously a woman's name.
Lin Sui clicked on it and saw that Xiaorou had been talking alone in the past few days.
Xiaorou: Brother Zhou, are you coming over for dinner tonight? I made some braised food, and you said it tasted good last time.
Xiaorou: Brother Zhou, have you been busy lately? Take care of yourself. I made some soup for you. Come and have some if you have time.
Xiaorou: Brother Zhou, my condom leaked last time and I was worried for a long time. Luckily, my period came on time. I want to tell you, don't worry. Can you come over for dinner tonight? I miss you.
…
Lin Sui quickly retreated, not forgetting to redisplay the unread messages. She placed her phone on the sofa so that even if it vibrated it wouldn't be noticeable.
Back in the bedroom, Lin Sui lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. She couldn't describe her emotions. To say she was completely indifferent was impossible. She knew Zhou Dang must have kept someone outside over the years, but knowing and seeing were two different things.
She smiled bitterly. He played the role of a romantic by her side, while breaking all the rules with other women. This is what a man is like. Wiping a tear from the corner of her eye, Lin Sui felt very strange. She clearly didn't love Zhou Dang, but she was still sad for him.
She put on her headphones, selected a hypnotic radio station, and fell asleep quickly. In the middle of the night, she felt itchy and pushed it away. She found a head. Lin Sui woke up with a start and opened her eyes. It turned out to be Zhou Dang.
"What are you doing?" Lin Sui pushed Zhou Dang away.
"I really can't help it, Sui Sui, is it not okay for me to kiss you?" Zhou Dang seldom called her Sui Sui unless he was in love.
Lin Sui stared at Zhou Dang's face and felt disgusted when she thought of the message records she saw on his phone before going to bed.
"Get out!" Lin Sui kicked Zhou Dang off the bed.
"Fuck, you're so cruel!" Zhou Dang covered his buttocks and glared, "Where on your body haven't I kissed? Why are you so uncomfortable?"
"Disgusting! Shut up! Get out of here!" Lin Sui yelled at Zhou Dang.
Seeing that Lin Sui was really angry, Zhou Dang didn't dare to act rashly. Before, Lin Sui didn't want to leave him, so he could do whatever he wanted to Lin Sui. Now that she was about to leave, if he used his previous tough approach, it would only push her towards Qin Chen. He understood this.
"Okay, okay, I'll just leave. Don't be angry." Zhou Dang stood up, limping. "After I leave, don't open the door for anyone else, not even Qin Chen. Remember that!"
Lin Sui didn't lie down until the door was closed. He looked at his cell phone and it was three o'clock in the morning.
"Mad dog." Lin Sui cursed, turned over and continued to sleep.
Qin Chen worked until dawn. Batch after batch of goods were stolen, and his supply chain was on the verge of breaking. Last night, after much pleading, he finally managed to secure a shipment from a neighboring city to fill the gap. At this moment, he sat in his office chair, puffing away at the clouds of smoke.
After not sleeping all night, he had grown a lot of stubble, and his shirt had been unbuttoned a few buttons. His long legs were casually draped over the desk, his leather shoes were shiny. Qin Chen squinted his eyes, his mind in a mess.
Zhou Dang, this grandson, was a complete jerk. While he was busy trying to snatch Lin Sui from him, he was secretly working on his own company. But his company, which had just established itself, couldn't withstand such a turmoil. He was different from Zhou Dang. Although Zhou Dang's business was small, it had deep roots and the backing of a large family. People in the business world had to give her some respect. He, on the other hand, had gotten to where he was today step by step. Every deal was negotiated, and it was gone in a flash.
If the company really went bankrupt, he wouldn't be reduced to a pauper, but at this moment, he didn't know if he could bear to be thrown back to the pre-liberation era overnight. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Falling from high to low is the most challenging part of a person's self-esteem, and Qin Chen happened to have a very strong self-esteem.
The company's employees have come to work one after another. The secretary brought breakfast to Qin Chen. Qin Chen went to the bathroom in the office to take a shower and change his clothes. Fortunately, everything was prepared in the office. Facing the mirror, Qin Chen shaved slowly.
The call was made to Lin Sui, who answered it quickly.
"Is your company okay?" Lin Sui's tone was filled with worry.
"It's all resolved. What about you? Did Zhou Dang do anything to you?"
Lin Sui thought of what Zhou Dang did to her in the middle of the night and paused, "No, he left in the middle of the night."
"Well, I won't say anymore. I have to have a morning meeting for the company later."
"Well, are you coming to dinner tonight?"
"Go. Let's celebrate tonight. I signed a contract with Fang Zhiyou today. I'm single from now on. Ms. Lin, you have to hold on to me. I'm a real bachelor." Qin Chen was still in the mood to joke.
"Oh, really? What should I do? Rich bachelors like girls like me." Lin Sui spoke skillfully in Taiwanese accent.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have an interview today."
