Zhong Tingyue stood outside the villa, dressed in a simple dress, graceful and elegant, with a gentle and refined air about her, like a delicate orchid blooming in the night.
Just then, three or five young men strolled leisurely past the door.
One of the men saw her and said, "Beautiful lady, can you smell anything?"
Zhong Tingyue crossed her arms and shook her head: "No."
"The air feels sweet whenever I see you," the man said. "Could you give me your contact information?"
Another man with long hair slapped the man who had hit on the other on the back of the head: "Shut up!"
He then smiled obsequiously at Zhong Tingyue and said, "Sister Zhong, my buddy here has had too much to drink and doesn't think before he speaks or acts. Please don't mind him."
The long-haired man was named Ai Xuan. He was the son of the neighbor next door. As a rich second-generation, he was notorious for his dissolute and unruly behavior.
Zhong Tingyue waved her hand, not caring. Then Ai Xuan pulled a few of his buddies and quickly left the place, entering the courtyard of the villa next door.
"Xuanzi, I'm in love." The guy who had just hit on me complained, "How could you pull me away when I'm about to do something so important? We're not buddies."
"Are you also interested in that girl? I'm sorry, I can give in to anything, but not this. She's my dream girl, the one I'll spend my whole life with."
Ai Xuan rolled her eyes: "Sister Zhong is already married."
The man who had struck up a conversation with her had his eyes light up: "Isn't that even better?"
"... ..." Ai Xuan was speechless. "I advise you to give up."
"What's wrong?"
Ai Xuan said, "Brother Chu, who is also Sister Zhong's husband, is treated as an equal by my dad when he talks to him. If you think you are better than my dad, then feel free to go and poach his wife."
Upon hearing this, the man who had approached him immediately shook his head: "Never mind, flowers may be beautiful, but I still want to live."
In the eyes of these playboys, Ai Xuan's father was like the King of Hell, a figure of immense power and terror. And that "Brother Chu" who could stand on equal footing with Ai Xuan's father was clearly no ordinary person either.
We can't afford to mess with them.
The man who had approached her looked up at the night sky and sighed, "Why are all the women I like already taken? God is really being hostile to me."
Ai Xuan said quietly, "Is it possible that you just specifically pick girls who are already taken?"
At present, the style of Cao Mengde is prevalent.
... ...
Zhong Tingyue stood outside the door, craning her neck to look in the direction of home.
When she learned that her two children were missing, her heart was in her throat. Even though she knew they had been found, she was still panicked because she hadn't seen them.
"Mr. Chu is really something. He can't even keep an eye on two children. What use are you?" she couldn't help but complain.
Suddenly, lights shone from ahead, and she immediately perked up. As the car entered the villa, the two children jumped out, and Chu Jin snuggled into her arms, saying, "Mommy, we're back!"
Upon seeing the two children, Zhong Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're back."
"I'm hungry," Chu Jin said, tilting her head back.
Chu Fang got out of the car and said, "Didn't you just eat two pieces of bread on the train?"
"I'm not full."
Chu Zhi also uttered two words: "Foodie."
Chu Jin blushed slightly: "Oh dear, don't praise me like that, I'll get arrogant."
Chu Zhi also rolled his eyes.
Sometimes, being too stupid and ignorant is, undeniably, a kind of happiness.
The aunt led the two children into the kitchen to eat, and Chu Fang said with a smile, "Ms. Zhong, this is not my fault."
"Then who's to blame?"
"It's Shao Bowen's fault."
"Um?"
Chu Fang then recounted the whole story of what had happened that day. After listening, Zhong Tingyue's anger subsided. In a sense, this was a good thing, as it saved Shao Xiang's life.
"How could there be such a father in the world?" Chu Fang asked.
He couldn't understand Shao Bowen's thoughts and opinions.
Zhong Tingyue shrugged in response: "I don't know."
... ...
The next day, Chu Fang took the two children to kindergarten early in the morning. By sheer coincidence, when he arrived at the kindergarten, he saw Shao Xiang and Xu Yuexin getting out of the car.
Chu Jin waved: "Shao Xiang."
Shao Xiang, who used to be as enthusiastic as a sycophant, had undergone a complete change today, becoming much colder. He only glanced at the kindergarten before heading inside.
"What's wrong with him?" Chu Jin wondered.
Chu Zhiye crossed his arms, adopting a mature adult demeanor: "From a psychological perspective, when a person suffers immense hardship..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Jin tossed her ponytail and went straight into the kindergarten.
Chu Zhiye's lips twitched.
Chu Jin, are you sick in the head?
If you ask a question and don't get an answer, then your question is pointless.
When Xu Yuexin saw her son enter the kindergarten, she also saw Chu Jin and Chu Zhiye. She stood there for a few seconds, hesitated, and then walked towards Chu Fang.
As she approached, Xu Yuexin said, "Hello, Mr. Chu."
Chu Fang responded honestly: "I got scolded by your husband, which wasn't good."
"Um... I'm sorry." Xu Yuexin lowered her head slightly. "Can I talk to you about something?"
"What's up?"
Xu Yuexin said, "I hope you can persuade your two children to stay away from my son. This is very important for the future of both of us."
This morning, Shao Bowen said that Shao Xiang can no longer play with Chu Fang's two children. If they continue to play together, Shao Bowen will not give Shao Xiang any of his assets.
Chu Fang sighed, "I really feel sorry for Shao Xiang."
He then got into his car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Xu Yuexin stood there, silent.
... ...
Chu Fang was driving home when he turned on the car TV while stuck in traffic. A gossipy voice filled the car: "Top star romance rumors! Rising star 'Qiao Zhenghong' and musical prodigy 'Chu Yi' were caught on camera having a late-night rendezvous, with photos of them holding hands and whispering to each other."
Chu Fang looked at the car's television and asked, "Hmm?"
