Holding her phone, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Although Zhou Zuizui knew exactly what kind of image she had in Shen Nan's eyes, and Shen Nan also knew what kind of wife he was, they still felt a little embarrassed to have this matter exposed.
Shen Nan was probably thinking, "My wife is so domineering, so 'fiery'!" Thinking about this, Zhou Zuizui felt a little tired.
She coughed and asked, rather helplessly, "How did you get this photo? Who sent it to you?"
Shen Nan pursed his lips, looked up at the night sky not far away, and squinted his eyes, saying, "Someone in the circle has already spread the word."
"What?!"
The photo Shen Nan received wasn't intentionally sent to him by someone.
After all, regarding the hotel incident today, he didn't know anyone there, and no one knew Zhou Zuizui was his wife. Even more frighteningly, he had no idea that Zhou Zuizui and Xia Wen were resolving the issue in this way.
Although Shen Nan initially came up with several solutions, none of them seemed to fit Zhou Zuizui's style. It wasn't until the evening that he realized it was like this: straightforward and bold.
—That evening, Shen Nan and his teammates had just finished training. Even when they didn't have any missions, they continued their nightly training until nine o'clock. After training, Shen Nan and his teammates walked a lap around the training field. Afterwards, he was dragged to the leader's office for a lecture before finally returning to his dormitory.
Shen Nan lived with everyone in the team and was treated the same as everyone else.
He had just finished showering when he came out of the dormitory and saw Gao Zhuo and Xiao Tong and a few others gathered together discussing something. They were talking a lot of nonsense and even asked Shen Nan to comment.
Shen Nan didn't bother to check what was on the computers of the others, busy with his own tasks, until he heard Gao Zhuoyang speak in a loud voice.
"Hey, putting everything else aside, the woman taking these photos has a really great figure!" Gao Zhu clicked his tongue twice. "But she looks kind of familiar!"
The little boy also leaned over for a look and said suspiciously, "I also feel it looks very familiar."
Gao Zhuo stroked his chin, staring at Zhou Zuizui's photo and sighed, "Right? She does look familiar."
Another teammate glanced at the two of them and said, "I don't think she looks familiar. I've never seen her before, but she's really good-looking with long curly hair. She looks like a mature woman."
"Is there a woman more mature than the one you saw in the last movie?"
"But even if she's a mature woman, it won't work. After all, a woman who can help her friend catch someone cheating must be pretty fierce."
The child was rather naive and stayed quietly to the side, pondering before uttering, "It still feels a bit familiar."
Chen Ruifeng, another teammate on the side, scoffed and complained to the two: "What's wrong with you two? You look familiar as soon as you see a beautiful woman? Do you think you're familiar with all the beautiful women in the world?"
He chattered on and on: "Hey, hey, keep looking at this one! My buddy posted another short video. What hotel is this? Why is it so lively here!"
As soon as he opened the short video, Shen Nan heard a slightly familiar voice. He paused, then looked sharply to the other side: "What are you looking at?"
"Brother Chen, come take a look. These two women are catching each other cheating in a hotel. Wow, these women are really fierce when they start fighting."
"They are in no way inferior to us men."
"That man deserves it; he cheated on his wife with such a beautiful wife."
Shen Nan paused, glanced down at the short video. Zhou Zuizui's face was only shown in profile in the video, but Xia Wen's hitting action was visible. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are there any photos?"
Chen Ruifeng was taken aback, looked at Shen Nan in surprise, and nodded: "Yes."
"Take a look at the photos."
Chen Ruifeng didn't understand why he was being so obedient, and immediately pulled out the photos. Upon seeing them, Shen Nan clearly saw his wife's serious expression as she took pictures with her phone—full-body shots and side-profile shots. He stared at them intently, without any other reaction.
Gao Zhuo chuckled twice and nudged Shen Nan: "Master Shen, your wife will be angry if you stare at other women for so long! No matter how beautiful she is, you can't..."
Regarding Shen Nan's marriage, we have received confirmation. Gao Zhuo even asked the brigade leader what Shen Nan's wife looked like, but he didn't get a reply. However, he did see a blurry photo from Shen Nan one day.
"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Shen Nan interrupted him.
Gao Zhuo: "..." feeling wronged.
Shen Nan patted Chen Ruifeng on the shoulder: "Send me this photo."
Chen Ruifeng: "Oh."
After sending it, Chen Ruifeng belatedly realized, "Brother Chen, why did you take the photos?"
Shen Nan ignored the others, stared at the photo for a while, and then sent a message to Zhou Zuizui, but received no reply. It wasn't until now that they finally got in touch.
After hearing Shen Nan's brief explanation, Zhou Zuizui was speechless.
"It's spread? You mean someone filmed it at the hotel and posted it on WeChat Moments?"
"Hmm." Shen Nan leaned against the corridor with his phone in his hand, his voice low and deep: "But it should be nothing serious. I had someone help delete the post on WeChat Moments, but there's no guarantee that someone who saw it might have taken a picture."
Zhou Zuizui frowned. She was in such a hurry that she had forgotten about this.
She thought for a moment and said, "Fine, I'll just take the picture."
Shen Nan pondered for a moment, then asked seriously, "Aren't you afraid they'll see us?"
She paused, instinctively wondering who 'they' referred to. Zhou Zuizui pursed her lips and suddenly asked Shen Nan, "Will your parents see this?"
Shen Nan chuckled and reassured her, "My parents are fine. My mom isn't a gossip, and my dad doesn't play with this stuff at all." He added, "I'm worried your parents might contact you."
Zhou Zuizui fell silent.
Given her parents' personalities, they would definitely feel that she had disgraced them. Although Zhou Zuizui hated them, hated them intensely, they were still blood relatives after all. Blood ties existed, no matter how much she didn't want to admit it. She wasn't afraid of being scolded, but she was afraid of affecting Shen Nan's side.
"Will everything be alright on your end?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan chuckled: "What is it? Let everyone know this is my wife, they might even praise her for her bravery."
Zhou Zuizui: "...I'm being serious with you."
Shen Nan chuckled softly, looking down at the ground floor where people were still passing by: "It's really nothing, don't worry."
"That's alright," Zhou Zuizui said. "I'm not afraid of them finding out, and it doesn't matter if they do."
"Remember to let me know if anything happens."
"good."
The two chatted for a while, then Xia Wen called out to her. Zhou Zuizui replied, "I'll go to Xia Wen's place now. Come back this weekend."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Nan lingered outside for a moment, sent a message, and then returned to his dorm. As soon as he entered, all the men in the dorm, who were still awake, turned to look at him and shouted, "Master Shen!"
Shen Nan: "..."
He lifted his eyelids, looked at the group, and uttered two words: "Are you sick?"
A group of people burst into laughter. Gao Zhuo rushed over and pounced on Shen Nan's shoulder, asking meaningfully, "Master Shen, was it your wife who just called you?"
"Your voice is so beautiful!"
"What did your sister-in-law say?"
That night, the noise in Shen Nan's dormitory only stopped after he scolded her.
Headache!
...
Over the next two days, Zhou Zuizui accompanied Xia Wen through all the procedures.
Because there was video and photograph evidence of them catching each other in the act, although Zhao Mingxuan threatened to sue Xia Wen, Xia Wen also had her own evidence, and the lawsuit ultimately fell through. In the divorce, while Zhao Mingxuan didn't leave with nothing, he gave Xia Wen 80% of the assets.
Xia Wen left Zhao Mingxuan no room for maneuver in this matter.
On this day, the two completed their divorce proceedings and came out after everything was settled.
Zhao Mingxuan looked at Xia Wen, glared fiercely at the two people in front of him, pointed and cursed, "Xia Wen, you just wait!"
Xia Wen sneered, brandished the divorce certificate in her hand, and said coldly, "I'm ready anytime!"
Zhao Mingxuan glared at Zhou Zuizui before angrily turning and leaving.
Xia Wen scoffed and turned to look at the people waiting for her: "Let's go, sister, we've finally regained our freedom."
Zhou Zuizui glanced at her divorce certificate: "It's fine."
"Absolutely! I'll treat you and Ai Zeyang to dinner tonight." She smiled and hooked her arm around Zhou Zuizui's, saying, "From now on, we sisters can go wild as we please."
Zhou Zuizui hummed in agreement: "You don't have to work anymore, go have some fun."
Xia Wen exclaimed and nodded, "That makes sense. I'll quit my job when I get back."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
She just said it casually.
Xia Wen turned to look at her: "And you?"
"What?"
"Didn't you say you were going to look for a job? What's the situation now? Are you still looking?"
"I'll find one." Zhou Zuizui pursed her lips and said, "I'll go for an interview next Monday."
Xia Wen stared at her for a while and comforted her, "Just do your best, don't force it."
"Um."
The following weekend, Shen Nan did not go home.
He took on a temporary assignment and lost contact with Zhou Zuizui for several days.
On Monday, Zhou Zuizui went for the interview with her application materials. She had actually worked for more than half a year, so she wasn't completely clueless. But for some reason, this interview made her a little nervous.
Fortunately, despite the tension, he was someone who had seen a lot, and he was able to handle some problems calmly.
She passed the preliminary test, and the second test was on the third day. After the second test, she basically had a better understanding of the situation.
There's no doubt I can get this job.
Sure enough, she received a phone call not long after she stepped out of the building.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zuizui chuckled softly, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds. The weather had been getting better and better lately, with bright sunshine every day, making her feel warm and cozy. She chuckled again, a slight smile playing on her lips, and continued walking.
She was lost in thought when a black sedan pulled up beside her as she turned a corner and walked out.
"Young Miss."
Zhou Zuizui paused, turned her head and looked over.
In the back seat of that black sedan, a familiar yet repulsive face appeared.
The man looked at her with a deep, disdainful gaze: "Get in the car."
Zhou Zuizui pursed her lips and stood still. She looked up and met the other person's gaze silently: "It's better to say what you have to say here. I have other things to do."
The man in the back seat snorted and scolded, "What else could you possibly have to do? You're always up to something."
Zhou Zuizui remained silent, letting the man scold her.
Seeing her like this, Zhou's father was furious: "Do you want me to bring up your past mistakes? Get in the car!"
"What old grievances?"
Zhou's father was furious with her. He said angrily, "You caused trouble at the hotel a few days ago, you're quite something!" He pointed at Zhou Zuizui and cursed, "How could I have such a disgraceful woman like you? You've completely disgraced your mother and me!"
When others came to them with photos and asked about it, Zhou's father called her directly, but to his surprise, Zhou Zuizui hung up as usual and even blocked them.
Zhou Zuizui sneered, stood on the side of the road with her arms crossed, listening to his reprimand, and coldly replied, "When have you ever had any shame?"
Zhou's father: "...You!"
"What about me?" Zhou Zuizui turned her head to look elsewhere, took a deep breath and asked, "If all you wanted to do today was scold me, then fine, you've achieved your goal. If you have nothing to say, then I have to leave."
Mr. Zhou pointed at her, his eyes bulging with anger.
Zhou Zuizui glanced at him, then turned and left.
Only after walking a distance and realizing the car wasn't following her did she breathe a sigh of relief, rub her temples, and look utterly defeated.
What a mess!
She stood there pondering, then took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Nan: When are you coming back?
To her surprise, Shen Nan immediately called her.
"You're back?" Zhou Zuizui was extremely surprised.
Shen Nan hummed in agreement, opened the car door, and got in: "Where are we now?"
Zhou Zuizui looked around and gave a location: "Walk around here, what's wrong?"
Shen Nan chuckled and said succinctly, "Find a shop and wait for me. I'll come pick you up."
Zhou Zuizui smiled, glanced at the phone that had been hung up, and her mood instantly improved.
That's probably the benefit of marriage. You have someone who can change your mood, change your life, and make you a better person.
When Shen Nan arrived, Zhou Zuizui was engrossed in playing Candy Crush, but her smile wasn't very obvious, and she looked rather listless.
He stood at the shop entrance for a couple of seconds, then, having a better idea of what was going on, he pushed the door open and went inside, sitting down in front of Zhou Zuizui.
"You like playing this?" His voice was deep and had a special, soothing quality.
Zhou Zuizui's eyes lit up, and she looked at him with surprise: "So fast?"
Shen Nan nodded, tapping her phone screen with his slender fingers: "Want to keep playing?"
"I'm not playing anymore." Zhou Zuizui looked at him: "When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Nan explained, "I was locked up for one night after completing the mission."
After they finish a task, they are usually locked up for a while, to prevent them from losing control of themselves, or from being able to detach themselves from the task due to their emotions. Sure enough, Zhou Zuizui called him as soon as she got her phone back.
Zhou Zuizui responded with an "oh," indicating that she understood.
"You don't need to be with the team today?"
"Just finished the mission, and I have a day and a half to rest."
Zhou Zuizui smiled, her lips curving into a smile, and gave Shen Nan a meaningful look: "So you finally remembered the wife you abandoned, right?"
Shen Nan chuckled, then curled his lips into a smile, raised an eyebrow, touched her chin, and asked in a low voice, "How did the interview go?"
"Approved. You can start work next Monday."
"There are still a few days left."
"Um."
The two sat in the shop chatting idly for a while before leaving.
As soon as Zhou Zuizui got in the car, before she could even fasten her seatbelt, Shen Nan grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his lap. His car was spacious enough for her to sit comfortably like that.
Zhou Zuizui chuckled, reached out and nudged his shoulder, and hummed, "Captain Chen, what are you trying to do in broad daylight?"
Shen Nan chuckled but remained silent.
Looking at the man, Zhou Zuizui felt that in the nearly ten days since she last saw him, he seemed to have become even more handsome and mature, more composed, and his aura was becoming stronger and more alluring.
She stared straight at Shen Nan, and Shen Nan stared back at her in the same way, his gaze direct and uncompromising.
They exchanged a glance. Just as she was about to make a move, Shen Nan lowered his head and kissed her, pressing her against the steering wheel, biting her lips, and deftly slipping inside. He released all the longing that had been buried deep in his heart.
From the outside, no one can see inside Shen Nan's car.
So the two of them were quite unrestrained and kissed for who knows how long. Just when Zhou Zuizui thought she might die here today, Shen Nan suddenly let her go, kissed her eyes, and asked, "Give me today and tomorrow?"
She paused for a moment, then looked at him with hazy eyes: "Okay."
Shen Nan smiled, patted her head, carried her to her seat, and then said, "Let's go."
Where to?
Shen Nan lightly licked the corner of his mouth and glanced at her: "I'll take you to see the stars."
The author has something to say: The author asks: Do you know how they observe the stars? There's a prize for the correct answer!
I'm going on a date, it's going to be so sweet, tomorrow will definitely be amazing too!
