"Zhou Dang! Zhou Dang! Zhou Dang! You call me so affectionately. He treats you so well, but I don't think you hate him at all. You have a deep relationship with him!" Qin Chen began to speak sarcastically.

"What are you talking about? Are you sick?" Lin Sui was also angry. Why did he take out all the anger he suffered outside on her? She was not a punching bag! She called him as soon as she got off work!

Qin Chen didn't say anything else, just kept breathing heavily into the phone. It seemed that he was really mad at Zhou Dang. Lin Sui's heart softened again, and she said in a gentle voice, "Come home, I'll cook for you."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Sui sighed. She drove into the evening rush hour traffic, listening to sad love songs.

The car music was playing an old song she liked very much, and she sang along:

The black smile fell

Snow-white tears fell

All the expressions that should have appeared disappeared instantly.

Pupils without color

The long frozen river

Memories are the worst enemy

…

Lin Sui shed two tears. She didn't know how this could happen. If she had been told a few months ago that she was about to divorce Zhou Dang and be with Qin Chen, she would have probably fainted with joy. But now that it had actually happened, one problem after another lay before them.

It's like the ending of a fairy tale, which always says: "The prince and princess lived happily ever after." But no one ever writes about it. The so-called "happiness" is just the daily necessities of life, including the many small frictions that are invisible.

Lin Sui arrived at Qin Chen's house first. She bought some vegetables near the company when she got off work. She didn't want to cook too much in the evening, so she planned to make one meat dish and one vegetable dish.

When Qin Chen walked in, neither of them spoke. Qin Chen washed his hands, changed into his home clothes, and came over to ask Lin Sui if he needed any help.

"No, just wait." Lin Sui didn't look up at him.

"Sui Sui, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lose my temper with you." Qin Chen hugged Lin Sui from behind and buried his head in her shoulder. His warm breath hit Lin Sui's neck, and Lin Sui's heart instantly ached.

"Qin Chen, I know I'm the one who's wronged you, but things have already happened, and we can only face it bravely." Lin Sui's hand rested on Qin Chen's.

"Yeah, I know." Qin Chen's voice was muffled.

"I'm planning to open a restaurant. What do you think?"

"Ah?" Lin Sui obviously didn't expect that the topic would change so quickly.

"I can't continue in that line of work anymore. Zhou Dang will only torture me to death. Why don't I change industries? I still have some savings. I plan to explore the market and open a hot pot restaurant. What do you think?"

"I think it's okay!" Lin Sui also became excited. She saw that many hot pot restaurants had long queues, so she thought that hot pot must be a sure-win.

"That's settled then. I'll survey the market first." Qin Chen kissed Lin Sui on the cheek. "Hurry up and cook, Sui Sui. Hubby is hungry."

Qin Chen was wrong. His departure from the dinner was a trivial matter for these bosses. No one was talking about him at all. Everyone was busy trying to curry favor with Zhou Dang, who was the biggest boss among them.

But Zhou Dang was very bored. He kept thinking about what Qin Chen had just said. He said he wanted to go home and eat the food his wife cooked. Damn!

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, why are you leaving?" When the group saw Zhou Dang stand up, they all started to try to keep him.

"There will be more shows later, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"That's right, otherwise let's change the scene now!"

"Not interested." Zhou Dang walked away without looking back.

As usual, he went to Xiaorou's place to spend the night. Because of his divorce from Lin Sui, Zhou Dang had been going to Xiaorou's place quite frequently. Xiaorou was of course very happy. She treated Zhou Dang like a boss. As long as she served her boss well, she would have a good life.

She knew that Zhou Dang was divorced, but at the same time she also understood that Zhou Dang would never marry her, so she didn't have any hope of marrying her.

Zhou Dang looked at Xiaorou, who was wearing a floral apron in front of the dining table, and felt very comfortable. This was the paradise he had built for himself. Whenever he was tired and sleepy, he would come here, have a meal, and take a nap. The next day, he would feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

"Xiao Rou, are you going to follow me forever?" Zhou Dang put down his chopsticks and asked in a deep voice.

"I...Brother Zhou, what do you mean?" Xiaorou bit her lip. Is he going to fire her?

"I don't mean to drive you away. I just want to ask you, if you want to follow me for the rest of your life, would you be willing?" Zhou Dang asked with a smile.

"I..." Xiaorou was a little hesitant. How could she be someone's mistress forever? She originally wanted to save enough money and then go back to her hometown to get married.

"You can have a baby and I will raise it." Zhou Dang casually threw out a bombshell.

"I do!"

Xiaorou was afraid of answering too slowly. If she was allowed to have a child, what would it matter if she became a mistress? Her child would have a very good life, and their whole family would also benefit from it.

"Well, then just follow me." Zhou Dang smiled, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

He suddenly understood his father. Indeed, raising more children outside would enhance one's sense of happiness. He suddenly felt like laughing. He really did have the Zhou family's genes.

His mentality now is completely relaxed. He can have more children because he has more money than he can spend. As for women, it doesn't matter whether he loves them or not. He loves Lin Sui, but wasn't he hurt so badly by her?

Zhou Dang's cell phone, which was placed on the coffee table, rang. Xiaorou ran a few steps and handed it to Zhou Dang. Zhou Dang looked at the caller ID: Wen Yue.

"Hello, what's going on?" Zhou Dang did not shy away from Xiaorou's presence.

"Well, let me ask you if you are free tonight so we can have dinner together." Wen Yue's voice came through the phone, and Zhou Dang simply put the hands-free phone on the dining table.

"I'm already eating." Zhou Dang picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"Oh, okay, then are you free tomorrow? My sisters want to meet you." Wen Yue's voice was playful and full of the cheerfulness of a young woman.

"Okay." Zhou Dang raised his eyes and found that Xiaorou seemed to have been acupunctured. She didn't move at all, afraid of making any sound.

"Well, I won't bother you anymore. Bye."

Zhou Dang hung up the phone and saw Xiaorou take a deep breath, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Don't tell me you were holding your breath just now."

Xiaorou's face flushed red, she lowered her head and said nothing, implicitly acknowledging what Zhou Dang said.

"Come here." Zhou Dang glanced at Xiaorou.

Xiaorou walked over and sat on Zhou Dang's lap.

"Be good." Zhou Dang touched Xiaorou's head, stroking her hair back and forth as if she were a pet.

"Give me a massage later. Your technique is pretty good. Did you learn it specially?"

"Hmm..." Xiaorou pursed her lips and nodded.

"Very good, very good." Zhou Dang kissed her.
