PARKING LOT.
Lu Ruxue and Zhuang Wen's cars drove away one after the other.
In the end, Zhuang Wen did not make any other "marital actions" with Lu Ruxue.
Except for the last step, the two of them did everything they were supposed to do.
Not to mention anything far away, just this afternoon, the two of them slept in each other's arms in the lounge all afternoon, and when they woke up, they were still entwined in bed for more than half an hour.
Even if we don't say "time will tell," we've at least learned what we needed to know.
More than half an hour later, Zhuang Wen drove home.
"You're back?"
Zhuang Zhenghong was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He looked up at Zhuang Wen and spoke in a neutral tone.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Zhuang Wen clearly sensed his father's cold attitude. After changing his shoes, he sat obediently on the sofa.
At that moment, he took a gentle sniff; a faint fragrance filled the air.
The scent was familiar, but he couldn't immediately place it as the source.
"I'm asking you, did you meet Ru Xue before or after you met Tang Xin?"
Zhuang Zhenghong stopped watching TV and turned it off with a snap. He then turned around and stared at Zhuang Wen with a serious expression.
Zhuang Wen frowned and said, "Dad, what do you mean by that? Haven't I told you everything..."
He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
"She was here just now?"
He stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief.
No wonder the scent in the air seemed familiar; it was Tang Xin's.
“Answer my question directly.”
Zhuang Zhenghong frowned, his voice deep and resonant, as if he were about to unleash a volcanic eruption of suppressed rage.
"I've already told you, I didn't know Ru Xue before. I only met her after I broke up with Tang Xin, through Xu Wu's introduction. You know Xu Wu, right? He's my college roommate..."
"alright."
Zhuang Zhenghong interrupted Zhuang Wen directly.
His brow remained furrowed, and he continued, "She did come by earlier and told me about it..."
"What?"
Zhuang Wen jumped up from the sofa, his brows furrowed, and he said angrily, "Damn it, how could she be so...shameless, she even..."
He couldn't hold back any longer, which is why he swore.
"It's just my guess, don't scold her."
Zhuang Zhenghong hurriedly interrupted, "She only said that you two broke up just two days ago, and then you got your marriage certificate. So I guess you and Ruxue knew each other a long time ago, and it was because of Ruxue that you broke up with Tang Xin."
"Dad, I'm your son, you should know me."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wen sighed and sat down sullenly.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I apologize. I shouldn't have made such wild guesses. Please forgive your father."
Zhuang Zhenghong patted Zhuang Wen on the shoulder with a relieved smile and said, "You and Tang Xin have broken up, so sever all ties between you two completely. Otherwise, it's not fair to you, her, or Ruxue. Don't waste each other's time."
"I know, I've already explained it to her, but what's she doing here this time?"
Zhuang Wen nodded, then frowned.
"She still can't let you go, she wants to get back together with you, saying she knows she was wrong, has already made things clear with Liang Shang, and hopes you can forgive and forget..."
Zhuang Zhenghong said.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhuang Wen asked, "Then Dad, do you think I should forgive her?"
"You're already married, so what's there to forgive?"
Zhuang Zhenghong smiled and said straightforwardly, "Besides, I am very satisfied with Ruxue as my daughter-in-law, and I can see her love for you, so why bother getting entangled with Tang Xin?"
"Hmm." Zhuang Wen nodded, just as he expected, but then asked, "What if Ru Xue and I weren't married, or even knew each other?"
Zhuang Zhenghong pondered for a moment and said, "If I hadn't seen her today, and you had made it clear that you wanted to break up with her completely, then I wouldn't have advised you to get back together with her."
Zhuang Wen raised an eyebrow. "What if?"
"right."
Zhuang Zhenghong smiled and said, "Before today, I could sense that she liked you, but compared to your feelings for her, it was insignificant. So I don't want you to get too involved with her."
Then he sighed and said, "But I saw her today, and I could feel that she really regretted it. I could also see that her feelings for you were genuine. Compared to your love, perhaps she felt just as much."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wen smiled nonchalantly, showing no regret, and said, "What's past is past, and there's no going back."
Seeing that Zhuang Wen's expression was calm and he wasn't lying, Zhuang Zhenghong nodded, a relieved smile appearing on his lips: "A real man knows what to do and what not to do. It's good that you can understand this. It's worth all the years I've spent training you."
Zhuang Wen laughed happily, "Of course, how could I let all those years of your training go to waste? Besides, like father, like son, a tiger father has no dog son..."
"Alright, stop flattering me."
Zhuang Zhenghong chuckled and said, "It's getting late, let's prepare to cook."
"Dad, let's not cook at home, let's go out to eat tonight."
Zhuang Wen hurriedly grabbed Zhuang Zhenghong, who was about to get up and leave.
Zhuang Zhenghong frowned and said, "Why go out to eat? It's so expensive. We can just eat at home. I went out to buy groceries for lunch today..."
Zhuang Wen laughed and said, "I didn't take you out for a stroll since you came. Let's go out for a drink together."
"Save your money. Although Ru Xue is very rich, you can't just ask her for things. We men have to have our own dignity..."
Zhuang Zhenghong couldn't help but start lecturing again.
"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I'm definitely not the kind of person who lives off a woman. If you don't believe me, don't you believe in yourself? After all, I was raised by you."
Zhuang Wen hurriedly said, even patting his chest and making a solemn vow.
Zhuang Zhenghong was a chauvinist, and Zhuang Wen inherited that trait and was also a chauvinist.
"That's fine then."
Zhuang Zhenghong nodded in relief.
"Come on, let's go out and get something to eat."
After much persuasion, Zhuang Wen finally managed to get Zhuang Zhenghong to leave the house.
Because the two were going to drink, Zhuang Wen did not drive.
The two walked on foot in the cool night.
Zhuang Wen was talking to his father.
In his memory, such a harmonious and peaceful scene was very rare, even since his childhood.
It can be said that Zhuang Zhenghong plays the role of a strict father.
This is how he raised Zhuang Wen, a son who had so many similarities to him.
"Let's have hot pot."
Feeling a slight chill in the air, Zhuang Zhenghong chose a hot pot restaurant by the roadside.
When Zhuang Wen saw the name of the hot pot restaurant, his expression turned strange.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Zhuang Wen looked unwell, Zhuang Zhenghong asked curiously, "Is this hot pot restaurant not good?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people walked out of the hot pot restaurant.
The one at the head was none other than Tang Xin!
