"Boss, they haven't paid the bill yet." The waiter carefully reminded Qin Chen.
"Oh, no thanks." Qin Chen murmured, then turned and went back to the private room.
Zhou Dang really forgot about paying the bill, and only remembered it when Lin Sui reminded him after he got in the car.
"Hurry back and buy it. He thinks we are coming here to take advantage of him." Lin Sui was angry.
"Isn't it okay for me to buy it? I spent ten thousand just waiting in line, so what if I owe him a few hundred?" Zhou Dang turned back and paid the bill.
Lin Sui bit her lips to prevent herself from shedding a single tear. She told herself that it was Qin Chen who broke up with her, and she should not do anything worthless anymore. From now on, she only needed to do one thing, which was to keep the baby in her belly alive and well.
When Zhou Dang came back, Lin Sui had already composed himself. "Please take me home. I'm really tired."
Zhou Dang hummed, turned on the car music for her, and pulled a blanket over from the back seat, "Go get some sleep."
"Yeah." Lin Sui wrapped herself in the blanket and fell asleep quickly.
Zhou Dang was driving in silence. When he was on the highway, his cell phone received a new call. It was Wen Yue. Zhou Dang pressed the hands-free button indifferently.
"Hello, where are you?" Wen Yue's voice was sweet and cute.
"Drive." Zhou Dang said concisely.
"Will you come back for dinner tonight? Aunt Wang has cooked a lot of your favorite dishes." Wen Yue's tone was a little cautious.
"I've finished eating." Zhou Dang paused and continued, "I'll go home tonight."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Wen Yue's tone could not hide her joy.
The phone was disconnected, and Lin Sui woke up. She stared out the car window at the rapidly receding scenery, wondering what she was thinking. After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"Your wife is so gentle."
Zhou Dang was startled, "Are you awake?"
"Well, where did you find such a good wife?" Lin Sui seemed to be preparing to chat with Zhou Dang.
"Blind date." Zhou Dang did not shy away from it.
"I didn't expect you would go on a blind date." Lin Sui smiled.
"You forced me to do that. I was desperate to use another relationship to forget yours." Zhou Dang's fingers tapped casually on the steering wheel.
"It seems that it didn't succeed." Lin Sui gloated.
"Yeah, it's too late to regret now." Zhou Dang sighed.
Lin Sui didn't say anything else, but he was thinking about what Zhou Dang meant by this sentence. What did it mean to be too late? Did it mean that he had already married his wife and couldn't change her, so it was too late? Or did it mean that he regretted marrying her, but he had already married her, so it was too late?
"Zhou Dang, I never knew what it was that you liked about me? Logically, you've met so many women, haven't you?" Lin Sui asked calmly.
"I don't know. I haven't thought about this question either." Zhou Dang told the truth.
Lin Sui shook her head. She and Zhou Dang were always talking at cross purposes. She liked to analyze problems, but Zhou Dang was too lazy to do so.
Arriving at Lin Sui's residential complex, Lin Sui said directly: "I'm going upstairs, you go home. Didn't you promise your wife to go home at night?"
Then he got out of the car without looking back.
Zhou Dang didn't care. He turned the car around and drove away, leaving Lin Sui alone walking in the cold wind.
Qin Chen was in a bad mood tonight after meeting Lin Sui and Zhou Dang.
He returned to the private room, hurriedly told a few guests that he had something urgent to do, and then drove home. He attributed everything to the fact that the breakup had happened too quickly and he needed withdrawal reactions.
In fact, only he knew that what he cared about was that Lin Sui was actually getting together with Zhou Dang again. He didn't hate Zhou Dang, but as an adult, he deeply understood that in the business world, he was no match for Zhou Dang. He couldn't beat Zhou Dang. As long as he was in Jiangbei, he had to obey Zhou Dang, otherwise, he would not be able to make a living in business.
He lay on the sofa, a bottle of foreign wine opened on the coffee table. He thought about every detail of the past year and felt it was absurd. Lin Sui and Zhou Dang seemed to have planned it all. They found him, played him, and then took him from the top to the bottom. Then they patted their butts and left, leaving him alone, covered in scars.
He hated himself for not living up to his expectations. The moment he saw Lin Sui tonight, his heart was still moved, even though he didn't want to admit it. But even though he was moved, he would not get close to Lin Sui again. He told himself that being moved was not something you could eat, and one couldn't be led by emotions for a lifetime.
Those who are obsessed with love, whether men or women, will not have a good ending.
He wanted to have a wild night and get drunk so he could have a good sleep, but God did not let him have his wish. After a while, the phone rang. It was the store manager, saying that some drunk people had started a fight in the hot pot restaurant, and the situation was getting a bit serious.
Qin Chen frowned, said "I understand", then stood up, put on his coat, took a taxi and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.
In fact, the accident was not serious. Qin Chen called the police and it was resolved in a short while. He looked at the diners in the hall and bowed.
"All tables are getting 20% off tonight. Sorry to shock everyone!"
"Great! Thank you, boss!" Everyone applauded, and Qin Chen walked out with a smile.
The hot pot restaurant reserved a small office for Qin Chen. He was really tired at the moment, so he went to the office to rest for a while.
There was a single bed in the office, and he fell asleep on it. He slept until closing time, and when he opened his eyes again it was three in the morning. He thought everyone had gone home, so he got up, put on his clothes and went home too. However, when he walked out the door, he found Wan Qing still standing in the lobby, probably waiting for a bus.
Wan Qing just turned around and met Qin Chen's eyes.
"Boss, you haven't left yet?" Wan Qing smiled, although he was very tired.
"Well, I accidentally fell asleep in the office." Qin Chen was a little hungry at the moment. He didn't eat much at night and drank some wine, which he had digested by now.
"Did you get a taxi?" Qin Chen asked.
"No, the suburbs are too far away and no one takes orders." Wan Qing smiled.
"Then come eat something with me." Qin Chen walked towards the kitchen. Everyone had left and the kitchen was very clean. He took out two packets of instant noodles and some vegetables and beef from the refrigerator, preparing to cook a pot of noodles. However, his movements were so clumsy that Wan Qing couldn't bear to see it, so he just started cooking and asked Qin Chen to wait and eat on the side.
Wan Qing cooked the noodles skillfully and soon served them on the small table in the kitchen. The two of them sat around the small table, eating the steaming noodles. The cold wind was howling outside the window. At this moment, Qin Chen's heart was at peace.
Wan Qing had been secretly looking at Qin Chen, and she felt so lucky tonight. Fortunately, there was no car to pick her up, otherwise how could she have caught such a good opportunity to get close to Qin Chen?
Qin Chen's eating habits were not feminine, but not rude either. The more Wan Qing looked at him, the more she felt that every aspect of his eating habits met her aesthetic standards.
