After Lin Sui and Zhou Dang finished their barbecue, they took a walk in the city park to breathe in some fresh air. Although it was winter, there was still a lot of greenery, the sun was shining, and the breeze was not dry. Everything was just right, and Lin Sui was in a good mood.
"If you like it here, we can stay here tonight and leave tomorrow." Zhou Dang suggested to Lin Sui.
"No, I have to go to work tomorrow morning. I'm different from you. I'm an employee and I have no choice." Lin Sui stood facing the fountain in the park and stretched.
"Are you still doing that job? Don't you feel embarrassed? You almost had an affair with your boss?" Zhou Dang teased with a smile.
"What's embarrassing? As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Besides, I'm not his secretary. I don't have to face him every day. I have my own work to do." Lin Sui found another bench and sat down.
"The chair is cold. Put my scarf under your butt." Zhou Dang took off his scarf.
Lin Sui did as he was told, and his butt felt much warmer.
"You are pregnant now and still have to drive to work every day. It's really too hard. You might as well quit that job. I don't understand. You are not a civil servant. Why are you reluctant to quit?" Zhou Dang asked as he sat next to Lin Sui.
"It's better to have something to do than nothing. If I quit my job, what would I do every day? I'd just sit at home waiting for you to come home. I don't want to become that kind of woman." Lin Sui snorted. "Besides, as long as I don't quit, I'll still get maternity benefits, a lot of money."
"You look like you've never seen the world. How much is the maternity allowance? Can I give you 10 times as much?" Zhou Dang snorted.
"No reward without merit. I only want the money I earn myself. Why do I need your money?" Lin Sui rolled his eyes.
"Isn't it natural for a wife to spend her husband's money?" Zhou Dang put his arm around Lin Sui's shoulders and rocked her back and forth.
"You haven't drunk any alcohol, so why are you talking nonsense when you're drunk? I'm not your wife." Lin Sui sneered back.
Zhou Dang was speechless.
The two of them rested for a while, then drove back to the highway, ready to return to Jiangbei City. Zhou Dang first sent Lin Sui back to the rental house, and then drove back to the villa without stopping. After this delay, it was already night.
Wen Yue was leaning on the sofa reading a book. Seeing Zhou Dang coming back, she snorted coldly, "Hey, why are you back so early today? Is the company not busy anymore?"
Zhou Dang was really too lazy to deal with Wen Yue. He was exhausted after serving Lin Sui all day long. At this moment, he just wanted to rest.
"I'm a little tired, I'll go upstairs first." Zhou Dang ignored Wen Yue's teasing, which made Wen Yue feel angry again.
Who knows if he really went to the company last night to take care of something? Who knows if he's really busy at the company today? Maybe he went out to have fun with some woman. Wen Yue wasn't stupid, she just didn't want to think too much. She picked up the book and read again, telling herself to focus less on Zhou Dang, otherwise she would only be disappointed.
Aunt Wang stood in the kitchen, not daring to say a word, and silently stewed the oxtail braised in red wine that Zhou Dang loved to eat.
Lin Sui lay in her rented apartment, her mood taking a turn for the worse. The baby in her belly was growing bigger and bigger, and she didn't want to wait for his child to be born, bearing the label of illegitimate. So Zhou Dang had to divorce, she told herself. She would make him divorce her no matter what, unless she didn't get back together with him.
But she also knew that it was impossible to ask Zhou Dang to divorce immediately. After all, he had only been married for a few months, but her belly really couldn't wait any longer.
She knew she was about to enter another gambling game, with herself at the stake. She was betting on whether Zhou Dang's love for her was truly that deep, and whether he would overturn his peaceful life for her once again.
Lin Sui smiled. She felt excited, excited for the impending upheaval. Ultimately, she wasn't one to enjoy an ordinary life. She loved disruption, drama, and a life full of change. Whenever those changes came, she didn't feel afraid, but rather a faint sense of joy.
Qin Chen sent Fang Zhiyou to her house, and the two chatted happily all the way.
"Thank you for taking me home. Goodbye." Fang Zhiyou opened the passenger door and turned to say to Qin Chen.
"You're welcome, and thank you for giving me a good mood for the day." Qin Chen smiled and waved his hand at the other party.
"Are you teasing me?" Fang Zhiyou raised his eyebrows with a playful expression.
"I dare not." Qin Chen smiled again.
Fang Zhiyou closed the car door and stood by the roadside, watching him leave. Qin Chen started the engine but didn't leave for a long time, as if he had finally made up his mind. Qin Chen opened the passenger window and asked Fang Zhiyou, "Can you take me off the blacklist?"
"That depends on your performance. A hotpot meal is not enough." Fang Zhiyou waved at Qin Chen, then jumped and ran away.
When she got home, Fang Zhiyou's heart could not calm down for a long time. She never thought that she would meet Qin Chen again. Her past with Qin Chen was like a dream to her, and she really did not expect that this dream could continue.
The hurt Qin Chen brought her could not be erased, and she also knew that one could not go back and could not step into the same river twice.
But during the time since she broke up with Qin Chen, she met many boys and went on many blind dates, but none of them could enter her heart. She even wondered if she had lost the ability to love.
However, when she saw Qin Chen again today, God gave her the answer. The moment she saw Qin Chen, her heart was still moved, and she still loved Qin Chen. But to be honest, she didn't dare to take the risk. She had accompanied Qin Chen through such a difficult entrepreneurial period before, but he still abandoned her after meeting Lin Sui. Even if they got back together this time, it was inevitable that they would repeat the same mistake.
If the same pain happened again, she didn't know if she could bear it. Besides, she was not young anymore. If she wasted a few more years on Qin Chen, would she be able to marry the right person again?
Although she had many doubts in her heart, her body was honest. She pulled Qin Chen off the blacklist and sent him a cute emoticon.
Qin Chen replied immediately and said: Let’s get to know each other again. I am Qin Chen.
This sentence was very destructive to Fang Zhiyou. Her eyes turned red uncontrollably. She looked at this sentence and told herself: Let's take another gamble.
At this time, Qin Chen was on his way home. He was also very excited. He did not expect to meet Fang Zhiyou again, nor did he expect that this encounter would bring him such a big shock. It turned out that he and Fang Zhiyou were so compatible, and they got along so comfortably.
How could I not have realized it earlier?
