112. Vinegar is still necessary.

Liang Zhen didn't want to ruin things with Xie Yaoyao, so he said, "There's still some time, you can think it over carefully."

Xie Yaoyao was about to say that she didn't need to think about it when Liang Zhen said, "Sitting here must be boring, let's go, I'll take the kids to ride the Ferris wheel."

After saying that, he called over a waiter and paid the bill for the coffee in front of him.

Xie Yaoyao sat down without even drinking any water. In such hot weather, they had walked all the way from the bus stop, and Liang Zhen hadn't even asked them what they wanted to drink.

The two children had just sat down in the air-conditioned room and hadn't even recovered yet when Liang Zhen wanted to take them out to play.

This was originally a well-intentioned act, but for some reason it made Xie Yaoyao feel uneasy.

After paying the bill, Liang Zhen got up and picked up Xie Ziyu.

Xie Ziyu was very fat, and Liang Zhen couldn't pick him up right away, so he looked a little embarrassed.

Xie Ziyu snuggled into Xie Yaoyao's arms, "Mommy, I don't want Uncle Liang to hold me."

Liang Zhen: "I'm sorry, Yu Bao. Uncle didn't use enough force just now. You're not heavy at all."

Huo Zidu, always eager for drama, said, "He was almost as heavy as me when he was five. How can you lie and say he's not fat?"

Liang Zhen: "..."

Xie Yaoyao said, "Liang Zhen, let him walk by himself. He doesn't like being carried."

Liang Zhen touched his nose and went to help Xie Yaoyao get her bag.

The four left Starbucks. Liang Zhen hailed a taxi on the roadside. He sat in the front, while Xie Yaoyao, Xie Ziyu, and Huo Zidu sat in the back.

Huo Zidu reported to Huo Yanxi in real time via WeChat.

"We're leaving Starbucks now. This guy surnamed Liang said he'd take us to ride the Ferris wheel. He's so childish."

"In this heat, aren't you worried that Xie Ziyu, that little fat boy, will get heatstroke outside?"

Huo Yanxi was already in the car on his way to Starbucks.

He had noticed at the French restaurant last time that Liang Zhen's feelings for Xie Yaoyao were not simple.

At that time, however, he thought the two of them were a legitimate couple.

Now that he knows Xie Ziyu is his child, Liang Zhen went abroad after he and Xie Yaoyao got married, and he no longer considers him a rival.

certainly.

You still need to eat vinegar.

After all, he and Manman had only been husband and wife for a year, while Xie Yaoyao and Liang Zhen had been husband and wife for five years.

He gets angry whenever he thinks about how Manman lost her memory and was tricked into marriage by Liang Zhen.

Inside the car, Liang Zhen chatted with Xie Yaoyao, occasionally mentioning his work.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Changing locations is like starting all over again. I don't have any connections in Hong Kong. The cases are all assigned to me by my superiors, and I can't get any new cases right now."

He originally planned to return to China to develop his career, and chose Hong Kong as his place of residence because he knew that Xie Yaoyao was doing well in Hong Kong.

She is a high school Chinese teacher.

Most of the students come from middle-class families. If you introduce them to a few connections, they can make a name for themselves in the port city.

This is also why he asked Xie Yaoyao to move in with him.

After all, being Teacher Xie's husband could bring him benefits.

Xie Yaoyao said, "Take it slow. Once you get a foothold, win a few cases, and your reputation spreads, you'll be inundated with new cases."

When Liang Zhen heard that she didn't respond to him, he knew that she had no intention of using her connections to help him expand his social network.

A shadow crossed his eyes, but it vanished almost instantly.

"You're right, I can't rush things."

Xie Yaoyao encouraged him, "You have to believe in your abilities. You're doing very well abroad, so you'll definitely be able to make even greater strides in your home base in China."

Liang Zhen forced a smile. "I'll listen to you."

Actually, he works abroad, and not at any top-tier law firm.

He and his friends opened a law firm that specializes in representing the middle class.

However, they are not very knowledgeable about foreign laws. They have won a few minor cases, but lost most of them.

Before he decided to return to China, he was involved in an economic dispute lawsuit that involved criminal elements there.

As a result, they lost the case. His client vandalized their firm and threatened to kill him in a foreign land if he didn't leave the United States.

Having no other choice, he forged his resume and returned to China, where he was hired by a not-so-good firm in Hong Kong.

In order to enhance his own value, he told Xie Yaoyao that he had been hired by a top law firm in Hong Kong.

In reality, that firm only had a few people and was on the verge of collapse.

He needs connections more than money right now.

Xie Yaoyao's connections were his resources, but Xie Yaoyao refused to help him.

As we spoke, the car stopped at the entrance to the Ferris wheel in Victoria Harbour. On this hot day, many parents were there with their children.

Their little faces were rosy from the sun, but it didn't dampen their enthusiasm for playing at all.

Xie Yaoyao held Xie Ziyu's hand and told Huo Zidu to stay close to them so they wouldn't get lost.

The heatwave is intense; it's 37 degrees Celsius today. This weather is really unfriendly to a fat person like me.

Xie Yaoyao bought tickets on the official website and stood there, sweat pouring down her face.

Huo Zidu looked around and bought three small fans, one for each of the three of them.

The small fan started spinning, the wind power was limited, but much better than before. Xie Yaoyao bought four tickets and lined up to enter.

Huo Zidu took a photo discreetly and sent it to Huo Yanxi.

"A family of three is going to ride the Ferris wheel. Aren't you envious?"

Huo Yanxi crushed his phone in his hand, his body radiating coldness, and urged Lao Lin to drive faster.

Looking at the long line of cars stuck in traffic ahead, Old Lin was on the verge of tears. "Fifth Master, there's a traffic jam ahead."

Huo Yanxi glanced at the Ferris wheel across the sea, his back teeth practically grinding to powder.

Ferris wheels were his lifelong nightmare.

When he was three years old, he was sitting on a Ferris wheel and watched helplessly as Mrs. Huo walked away without looking back, leaving him all alone on the Ferris wheel.

Now, he stands beneath the Ferris wheel, watching as the woman he loves most takes his son and rides the Ferris wheel with another man.

Perhaps when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, they will make a vow that the family of three will never be separated.

The thought of all this made him wish he could jump into Victoria Harbour and swim over to stop them.

Old Lin glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Huo Yanxi's eyes were red, suggesting he might be having an attack.

Knowing that Huo Yanxi had masochistic tendencies, and fearing that he might have a breakdown in the car, he quickly said, "Fifth Master, why don't you call Teacher Xie and tell her you're going and ask her to wait for you?"

Huo Yanxi gripped his phone tightly. "I hate Ferris wheels."

Old Lin opened his mouth, unsure how to offer advice, but luckily he had Xie Yaoyao's phone number.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Huo Yanxi turning his head to look out the car window, seemingly arguing with himself.

He quickly picked up his phone and sent a message to Xie Yaoyao.

The line of cars ahead started to move slowly, so Lao Lin quickly put down his phone, released the brake, and the car slowly moved forward.

Fifteen minutes later, the black Bentley stopped at the Ferris wheel entrance, and Huo Yanxi got out of the car.

He ran quickly toward the ticket gate, and tourists coming off the Ferris wheel passed by him without him stopping for a moment.

As he got closer to the ticket gate, he saw a familiar figure standing there, smiling at him.
