Chapter 94 Can you stay and keep me company tonight?

Dong Qing said okay, and moved his hands down to massage her legs, eventually massaging her feet.

After massaging for a long time, Li Yuzhu said, "It feels so good after this massage. Go wash up and go to bed."

After Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she stood up from the sofa. She didn't realize that the bath towel was only wrapped around her chest. During the massage, Dong Qing accidentally pulled the bath towel down a little behind Li Yuzhu's back so that he could massage her better.

However, it was his unintentional action that caused Li Yuzhu's bath towel to be pulled open.

Li Yuzhu's bath towel had a double fold that was pulled upwards and then folded downwards to secure it. If Dong Qing didn't pull it down from behind, the double fold wouldn't open easily. But when he pulled it down, the double fold opened.

The moment Li Yuzhu stood up, the bath towel slipped off her body and fell onto her feet, revealing her naked and sexy body to her ex-husband.

They were no longer husband and wife, and the moment the bath towel hit the ground, an awkward expression appeared on Li Yuzhu's face.

Upon seeing this, Dong Qing hurriedly turned around. At this moment, he was filled with helplessness and heartache, and tears uncontrollably streamed down his face. He really didn't know how long this relationship could last, and the thought of it made his heart ache.

Li Yuzhu bent down to pick up the bath towel from the floor, looked up at her ex-husband's back, shook her head helplessly, and walked naked with the bath towel in her hand towards her bedroom.

Li Yuzhu returned to her bedroom, closed the door behind her, closed her eyes slightly, and leaned her naked body against the door.

Her ex-husband's guilty and helpless voice came from outside the door: "Yuzhu, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuzhu opened her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. She said, "I know you didn't mean it. You've seen my body before, and our son is almost a year old. Why would I care about these things? I don't blame you. It's getting late, go wash up and go to bed!"

Li Yuzhu's heavy mood at this moment had nothing to do with her ex-husband seeing her body earlier. They had shared a bed for more than two years, and it wasn't like he hadn't seen her body before.

Just like she said, the two of them now have a son who is almost a year old, so there is really no need to care about these hypocritical things. What she feels most is the heartache after the divorce, the resentment towards her fate, and her mother's pressure to remarry. These are the main reasons for her sadness and grief.

Dong Qing felt the same way as his ex-wife at this moment. The reason he turned away from her earlier was simply out of respect for her. If you love her, you should respect her personality.

Divorce is divorce. He really can't touch his ex-wife's private parts without permission. This kind of psychological torment can only be understood by people who still love each other after divorce. Conversely, they don't have such great psychological pressure.

(In reality, there are quite a few people who still share a room with their ex-husbands and ex-wives after divorce.)

For example, if two people divorce but do not separate, and voluntarily cohabit as husband and wife after the divorce, this is only a moral issue and does not involve legal issues.

After a divorce, the two parties no longer have a marital relationship. Cohabitation is a personal and voluntary act, not restricted by law, but also not protected by law. They are responsible for any adverse consequences that may arise.

For example, if an ex-wife still loves her ex-husband after the divorce, she is willing to continue living with him and let him spend her money. She has given her true feelings to the "home" after the divorce, hoping that her ex-husband will remarry her.

If her ex-husband remarries and leaves her completely, she will have to bear the consequences herself. After the divorce, both of them are single, and either party has the right to choose to remarry, which is one aspect that is not protected by law.

Some people believe that cohabitation is unsuitable after a divorce, regardless of whether one still loves the other. Well, it depends on the two people's societal acceptance of this. Everyone's views are different, and cohabitation after divorce inherently touches upon a fundamental moral question.

After Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, casually threw the bath towel on the bed, picked up a nightgown and put it on, then took a men's short-sleeved shirt from the closet, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

She walked to Dongqing's door, raised her hand, and knocked. She asked, "May I come in?"

Dongqing said from the bedroom, "The door wasn't locked, so you can come in."

Li Yuzhu pushed open the bedroom door and entered. Dong Qing was sitting on the bed in her pajamas. She placed the newly bought short-sleeved shirt on the bed and said, "I bought this shirt for you a few days ago. Why don't you wear it tomorrow?"

Dong Qing said thank you, and Li Yuzhu said you're welcome, then turned to walk out of the room. Just as she reached the door, Dong Qing said, "Yuzhu, could you stay and keep me company tonight?"

This was the first time Dongqing had made such an excessive request to his ex-wife in the months since their divorce. Li Yuzhu turned around and said, "No, the day we remarry, I will give you back your pure and untainted self!"

There are many interpretations of sexual purity. Unmarried women who do not have sexual relations with other men before marriage are considered pure and are called virgins.

A married woman's refrain from having improper relationships with other men is considered a sign of her loyalty to her husband.

However, divorce is a completely new field, and everything must have a beginning and an end. If she continued to maintain a sexual relationship with her ex-husband during the divorce, it would involve moral boundaries. During the divorce, she should maintain her dignity and purity. Therefore, Li Yuzhu could only refuse her ex-husband's request.

That's why she said that earlier, "When we remarry, I'll give you back your untainted self."

Dongqing said, "I respect you. What you did makes you even more worthy of my love. It's getting late, go back to sleep!"

Li Yuzhu said thank you for understanding, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her. She then headed towards her own bedroom.

The next day, after breakfast and after Dong Sanmei left for work, Li Yuzhu said, "Dongqing, has your second sister delivered the order?"

Dongqing said, "My second sister brought it over yesterday at noon. If you're tired, stay home and rest for a day. Your body won't be able to handle this!"

Li Yuzhu said, "This period is the peak season for customer orders, so we really can't rest at home. If we all get together, we won't be able to deliver in time."

Dongqing said, "They've already gathered together. My second sister delivered seven orders; one truck definitely can't hold them all. Otherwise, we'd load two fewer orders and load them on the next trip."

Li Yuzhu said, "No, as I just said, this is the peak season for customer orders. What if there are two more customers on the next trip? Let's attach one to the tractor trailer! One more trailer will be enough to load the goods for seven customers!"

Dong Qing said, "That works too. If that's how you load the goods, I'll have to go too. A truck that big with a trailer attached would be impossible to maneuver in any porcelain factory's yard. Besides, with goods from seven different factories, you wouldn't be able to finish loading them all by nightfall. I'll use a tractor to load the goods, and then I can just attach the trailer to the back of the truck."

Li Yuzhu agreed with the reasoning and said it was fine. She turned around and went back to her bedroom to get her change of clothes. Dong Qing went back to his bedroom and took out the order forms from the seven companies.

They went to the living room, and Li Yuzhu took the order and looked at it. This time, the seven companies ordered a lot of goods, and the goods would be loaded very high with trailers.

They went downstairs together and walked towards the machine factory.
