"Knock knock knock~"
Xiao Hua bent her fingers and knocked on Zhou Musheng's office door a few times.
"Excuse me, handsome Mr. Zhou, would you please invite the beautiful Ms. Ye in for a short while?"
Zhou Musheng smiled, the gloom of the past few days finally dissipating.
"Please come in."
Xiaohua came in carrying some things. Today she was wearing a white shirt with a beige A-line long skirt, ordinary white sneakers, and a loose dark green knitted cardigan.
She has very fair skin, and the dark green clothes suit her very well.
Zhou Musheng loved seeing his comfortable and casual attire; it was clean and refreshing, making him pleasant to look at.
"What are you doing here? Hasn't the money already been deposited into your company's account?"
Zhou Musheng feigned some displeasure.
"Look at what you're saying, it makes it sound like I came to you just to ask for money."
Sometimes Zhou Musheng wondered if Xiaohua would still be with him if he couldn't fund her business.
However, this assumption is invalid, because he has the money to provide Xiaohua with a huge amount of funding to start her business.
"Here, I brought you some cookies."
As Xiaohua spoke, she took out a box from the bag, which had a pretty bow tied on it.
Zhou Musheng naturally assumed that she had just bought it somewhere.
"I don't like sweets, you can eat it yourself!"
He really didn't like the food, and besides, he didn't want to so easily put aside his past grievances and make up with Xiaohua.
"I made this myself, aren't you going to eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll give it to another man."
Xiao Hua deliberately threatened, and reached out to put the box back into the gift bag, but Zhou Musheng grabbed her hand.
"You dare!"
Xiaohua smiled radiantly at him and breathed softly, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."
"Please, just try a piece. I'll go make you a cup of coffee while you wait!"
As she spoke, Xiaohua turned around and went to the coffee counter next to her, where she made him a cup of coffee and brought it to him.
Seeing that he hadn't eaten yet, she took a piece out of the box, bit off half of it herself, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Is it delicious? It took me several hours of hard work to make this."
Zhou Musheng had half a cookie she had left in his mouth. He had just watched her take a bite herself and then put the rest into his mouth. She always did things to please him so naturally and effortlessly.
They looked like a really loving couple.
Sometimes he thought that Xiaohua must genuinely like him.
"It's alright. Why did you suddenly decide to make me cookies?"
Xiao Hua answered honestly, "It's mainly for Kang An, but I'm giving you a copy as well."
"Hehe~ I knew you wouldn't be this attentive to me."
He was really disappointed.
"How can you not be attentive? It takes a long time to get from my home to your company by taxi, okay? I'm a business owner now, and I'm busy with countless things every day."
After Xiaohua finished speaking, she naturally sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and lowered her head to kiss the tip of his nose.
Zhou Musheng was flustered by her kindness. He found himself somewhat ridiculous. How could a man nearing 40 be so easily swayed and manipulated by a woman 12 years his junior?
"You're very good at these things?"
He felt a pang of jealousy, wondering if she had often treated her ex-husband the same way when they were together.
"Little Flower: I'm innocent! I've never eaten a single bite of meat since I came into this world!"
"What am I good at?" she asked, seemingly unsure.
"Teasing~men!"
Zhou Musheng held her waist tightly, their eyes meeting.
"Um~ Don't you like me like this? Do you think I'm too frivolous?"
Zhou Musheng shook his head: "It's okay with me, it's not frivolous, but it won't work with other men, you know?"
"What would you do to me if I did that to another man?"
Xiaohua teased him on purpose.
"Then I'll beat you to death!" Zhou Musheng said in a serious tone.
Xiaohua was a little startled.
"Zhou Musheng, you don't have a tendency to abuse your family, do you?"
But judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like that kind of person. However, it has been said since ancient times that one cannot judge a book by its cover, and that one cannot measure the sea with a bucket. It is hard to know what a person's heart is like, and one should never judge a person's good or bad based on their appearance.
"No, I'm perfectly fine. I was just joking with you."
Zhou Musheng was afraid that Xiaohua would misunderstand him as that kind of person, so he quickly explained.
"Can I ask you a question, Zhou Musheng?"
Zhou Musheng nodded slightly: "Ask away."
"What exactly was the reason for your divorce from Zhou Xun's mother?"
After she asked that question, Zhou Musheng's gaze towards her changed.
Why did you suddenly want to ask that question? Are you interested?
Xiaohua nodded honestly: "There's something I'm curious about. I'm wondering how any woman could bear to let go of a man like you? If it were me, I would definitely cling to your leg so you can't shake me off."
Zhou Musheng pinched her chin: "Then you have to remember what you just said. Cling tightly to my thigh, I can't shake you off."
Xiaohua pushed his hand away: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"She had an emotional affair, and although it was just an emotional affair, I still can't forgive her."
Xiaohua: Um~ Emotional infidelity?
How did you determine that she was having an emotional affair?
“I’m her husband, how could I not know what she’s thinking? Maybe she’s cheated on me physically, but I just didn’t catch her. I don’t bother trying to win over a woman who doesn’t have me in her heart, so why should I make things difficult for myself by trying to keep her?”
"Weren't you two very much in love before? Before this, I heard you talk about your ex-wife, and you had a pretty good opinion of her. But I didn't expect things to end like this. Logically speaking, a man should be extremely disgusted with an ex-wife like this and wouldn't have anything nice to say about her anymore."
Because Xiaohua had never heard Zhou Musheng say anything bad about his ex-wife.
He said his ex-wife had an emotional affair, and possibly also a physical one. Logically, a man wouldn't have any good things to say about his ex-wife in this situation.
He Yan didn't cheat on her, but she would criticize and belittle him in two out of every three sentences she said to him.
Is it possible that I don't actually enjoy talking badly about other people?
Zhou Musheng was speechless. Did he really look like a gossipy old woman? Why did he give her this impression?
"Uh...that's true!"
Since she met Zhou Musheng, he has indeed rarely used harsh words to describe a woman.
"Xiaohua, I really mustered up a lot of courage to start this relationship with you. Don't say you like me at the beginning, then change your mind and start liking someone else. That would hurt me the most, you know?"
"I will cherish this relationship, but please trust me a little more!"
Xiao Hua hopes that Zhou Musheng can view her normal interactions with He Yan because of the child in a normal way.
