Zhao Honghui asked softly, "Your braised meat is quite delicious. Should I ask someone to make connections and sell it to state-run restaurants?"
Xie Yuyao had considered this option, but if she signed the order, she would have to deliver it on time and in the correct quantity, and she didn't want to be running around every day.
Seeing her shake her head, Zhao Honghui asked again, "Do you want to sell it to Zhao Dayong?"
Rather than setting up a stall on the black market herself, she would probably prefer a safer and freer way: to become a supplier directly.
Xie Yuyao nodded and then shook her head, calmly saying, "Let's deal with Jiang Yan later."
As long as she's around, she can easily discover that you're profiting from braised meat, and getting sued would be a huge loss.
Zhao Honghui's heart leaped into his throat; Yao Yao was a gun-wielding woman!
"Don't do anything illegal; it's not worth it for her."
"Of course, what are you thinking?" Xie Yuyao rolled her eyes at him and kicked at the pebbles on the road.
Looking at the girl who seemed to be in a good mood, Zhao Honghui finally spoke the words he had always wanted to say.
"Yaoyao, let's make up!"
Xie Yuyao felt sweet and touched, but there was no shyness on her face. Instead, she remained calm and composed: "You agree?"
“Here’s what I’m thinking: problems that can’t be solved now might not be problems in the future, right?” Zhao Honghui knew this wasn’t a good solution, but he was even more unwilling to miss out on her.
"Ha!" Xie Yuyao found it hilarious. "Not asking for eternity, just asking for the moment?"
"Of course not!"
Zhao Honghui's face darkened. Although he had put the issue aside, he had never intended to only walk a part of the road with her; what he sought was a lifetime together!
"Forget it, don't play with fire and get burned."
For Xie Yuyao, breaking up and getting back together is a very normal thing in modern life; not every relationship can lead to marriage.
As a man from the 1970s, he valued lifelong commitment, so how could he easily give up?

As soon as Zhao Honghui stepped into the house, his mother grabbed him and asked him what he thought of Xie Zhiqing.
Seeing him shake his head, Yang Chunhua angrily slapped his arm, "What are you thinking! How can you not like such a good girl and insist on a fairy from heaven?"
Zhao Honghui stood there waiting for her mother to finish venting before returning to her room. After closing the door, she slumped into a chair, unable to express the bitterness in her heart to her parents.
His low spirits these days have been noticed by those who know him.
Jiang Penghui, whom I work with every day, goes without saying, but even Ye Xingchang, whom I only see occasionally, can see right through him.
A few days ago, one evening, the two of them kept Zhao Honghui behind. After a few rounds of drinks, they began to interrogate him.
Zhao Honghui didn't insist and explained the reason.
As the third child in his family, Jiang Penghui wasn't particularly insistent on having his parents live with him in their old age.
This isn't the feudal era anymore; most families separate and live independently after marriage. His wife also prefers to live her own life behind closed doors, so she can understand Xie Yuyao's situation.
"Why don't you consider paying more in alimony so that your parents can live with your younger brother? Although most elderly people live with their eldest son, some live with their youngest son."
Zhao Honghui flatly rejected the idea: "I joined the army at 18 and haven't been able to spend any of these years with my parents. How could I possibly say something like that?"
Seeing that Xie Yuyao was shrouded in suspicion, and that his good friend was deeply involved, Ye Xingchang had once warned him to be wary and not be blinded by sweet words. Now that this matter has arisen again, it remains to be seen whether there is a genuine disagreement.
"The reason she gave for breaking up might have been intentional, just to leave herself an escape route."
Hui Zi didn't understand. "What escape route?"
