The next day, Wen Jiaojiao smelled the aroma of food emanating from the living room as soon as she woke up.
She sat at the dining table, drinking red bean porridge, and said to the man opposite her:
"I'm quite busy today, so you'd better go shopping yourself, and it wouldn't be good if someone took a picture of you doing it."
After saying that, Wen Zhaoye raised an eyebrow. Immediately afterward, Wen Jiaojiao's phone rang. As soon as she answered, the director's voice came from the other end:
"Miss Jiang, you don't need to come today."
Wen Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise:
"What? Who replaced me? I didn't offend that person yesterday, so why was I replaced today?"
Wen Zhaoye: "..."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. Just as Wen Jiaojiao was about to speak again, the director said:
"Is it possible that when I said I didn't want you to come, I meant I was giving you a day off?"
Wen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief:
"If that's what you mean, then I'm relieved. But why are you giving me a holiday all of a sudden?"
"I'm just a nobody, so I don't dare to pry into what's going on above. Just do as I say."
The director hung up the phone after speaking. Wen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes in confusion for a moment, completely unaware of the playful smile on Wen Zhaoye's lips.
He feigned ignorance and asked, "Do you have time to spend with me now?"
Wen Jiaojiao ultimately didn't want to get entangled with him, so she made an excuse:
"But I still need to go to the hospital."
After she finished speaking, her phone rang again. It was Li Zhu calling, and he said on the other end:
"Miss, this person at the hospital has something to do today, so you don't need to come."
Wen Jiaojiao was even more confused. She exclaimed in surprise:
"That's strange. I've been working for so long without a single day off, how come I'm suddenly free?"
Wen Zhaoye raised his eyebrows and said:
"So... let's go after we finish eating."
Wen Jiaojiao glanced at her phone, then at him, and touched the top of her head uncertainly, saying:
"Did you bribe them all? What a coincidence!"
Wen Zhaoye's expression froze for a moment, then he chuckled and said:
"I'm penniless right now, how could I possibly have that kind of ability? Besides, I don't know anyone here, as you know."
Wen Jiaojiao stared at him strangely for a while, then nodded and said:
"That makes sense. So what are you going to do next? You can't just waste time like this, can you?"
Wen Zhaoye smiled ambiguously and said:
"I'd like to be a kept man, is that alright?"
"Are you still planning to go out and find a rich woman?"
After Wen Jiaojiao finished speaking with a frown, she nodded as Wen Zhaoye's smile froze.
"You are quite attractive. Now that you're not in the clothing industry, you shouldn't have any competition with others. So if marrying a rich woman is your dream, then I support you."
Wen Zhaoye's handsome face was burning hot, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Could it be that I'm using you as a crony?"
Wen Jiaojiao said with a look of refusal:
"I can't even support myself, Wen Zhaoye, you can't let me suffer. Besides, people who keep men are after something, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Zhaoye interjected:
"You can also be attracted to my strong and healthy body."
Wen Jiaojiao immediately understood what he meant. She turned her head away, thinking he was shameless, and refused:
"I don't need your money. I even hesitate to hire a nanny, let alone take your wallet and do nothing productive."
Wen Zhaoye stopped thinking and stood up, saying:
"Let's go out for a walk."
He's been here so long, and all he does every day is work and spending time with Wen Jiaojiao. He hasn't really had a chance to properly see the city.
The streets were bustling with people, and with people around him, he finally lost that feeling of loneliness and desolation.
Wen Jiaojiao pointed to a Sunrise store on the roadside and said:
“Wen Zhaoye, look at this shop. The clothes inside are exactly the same as those in your factory, and the business is so good. If you hadn’t sold the factory, you would definitely be rich.”
This shop is the most popular in the city. Wen Zhaoye had inspected it before, and many people inside recognized him. Afraid of being recognized, he grabbed her arm and said:
"Hurry up and let's go. You promised to buy me men's clothes."
Wen Jiaojiao broke free of his hand and walked into the shop:
"Since we're just passing by, let's go check it out. I bought a few things there last time, and they were quite nice."
Wen Zhaoye pulled her back and said:
"What are you looking at? His clothes are expensive. Don't you know how to save some money to support me?"
The two waiters at the door, watching Wen Zhaoye's figure, murmured:
"Look, doesn't that look like the boss who came to inspect last time?"
The other person replied:
"It's him, but why is he with Miss Jiang? They're even holding hands."
"They're definitely dating."
"As expected, the rich are monopolized by the rich."
Wen Jiaojiao was forcefully dragged a long way by him, and she said speechlessly:
You weren't like this before.
Wen Zhaoye glanced at the shop's location, and seeing that no one was coming from there, he finally felt relieved and said:
"You didn't like it the way it was before either, so I have to change."
Wen Jiaojiao curled her lips:
"Putting everything else aside, the way you're refusing to let me into the store is making me increasingly dislike you. A stingy man like that really lowers my standards, okay?"
Wen Zhaoye was spouting nonsense with a straight face:
"See, after I say this to you, you immediately understand how good I was before. So I need to let you know just how good I was before, and then I'll go back to how I was before."
Wen Jiaojiao asked curiously:
"Personality can change, but what about money? Can you become as rich as you used to be?"
"I've never failed at anything except trying to seduce you."
After Wen Zhao finished speaking, he realized that his words had gone too far and provoked a bit, so he turned around and glanced at Wen Jiaojiao.
Wen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes:
"What sins have I committed that all the men pursuing me are this type?"
