I got off the plane just as it was time to eat.
"Madam, please."
The host somehow managed to get a limousine to pick them up from the airport.
The kind of person Sun Lifang is usually only seen in Hong Kong dramas.
Now I've truly witnessed it for myself.
Separating the men and women, Sun Lifang and a group of wives of management members first took a car back to the hotel to rest.
"It's so sunny, I'm exhausted—"
The woman wearing a French hat was reluctantly parting with her husband.
The other women were also following their men, whispering amongst themselves.
A full ten minutes passed.
Sun Lifang took a step back, somewhat puzzled.
Didn't they say it was unbearably hot?
Why don't you leave?
The car was waiting behind them, but Sun Lifang couldn't understand them.
I just wanted to go back to the hotel to rest for lunch, and we could meet in the evening.
Ladies, is it really necessary?
It was made to look like a life-or-death separation.
With the comparison in mind, Sun Lifang also went over and said a few words to Zhou Yunshi.
What are we having for lunch?
The hotel had arranged a buffet lunch, and she asked Zhou Yunshi what he wanted to eat for lunch.
But as soon as she said it, she realized she had asked the wrong question.
How would he know what to eat at a dinner party arranged by the host?
But besides this, what else is there to ask?
As they were deep in thought, a woman's voice came from beside them, "Baby, I miss you so much, please don't leave."
That affected manner, that delicate, sweet voice.
Then another melodious male voice rang out, "Darling, I can't bear to part with you either."
Huh—
Sun Lifang felt an itch on her back, which made her shiver.
Fortunately, they gradually got into another car and went to the drinking party.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
The man looked at her with a half-smile. "Is there?"
After a couple of seconds of internal struggle, Sun Lifang was still feeling the shock she had just experienced.
No way, does that mean my bottom line has to keep dropping?
Are you going to study those saccharine, cheesy romance novels?!
My daughter was watching it in front of everyone.
Zhou Xinya carried a schoolbag on her back, with two small buns tied with colorful hair ties on her head, and her hair hanging down in the back.
Tilting his head, his bright black eyes looked at his parents.
In this situation, Sun Lifang could only calmly shake her head and say, "Go early and come back early, and drink less alcohol."
After saying that, the man still had the same expression, his eyes were calm, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
"good."
At this point, Zhou Yunshi was the last person in the main group.
Yes, right now.
Sun Lifang let go of her daughter's hand and took two steps forward to catch up with her husband.
I will miss you.
Her voice was so soft that she didn't even know how she managed to say it.
His face flushed red, and he turned and left after saying that.
A man's soft laughter came from behind, and Sun Lifang pulled her daughter away very quickly.
Even after getting into the car, Zhou Xinya was still asking, "Mom, why is your face red?"
With her big, bright eyes, she was filled with a thirst for knowledge.
"It's hot, the port city is too hot."
I didn't expect it to be this hot here before I came.
It should have been autumn long ago, but it's still like summer here.
Zhou Xinya was satisfied with this explanation, but she still had other questions—
"Mom, what did you say to Dad just now?"
It's so strange that he suddenly let go of my hand.
Is there anything you can't say to my face?
"Yaya, look." Sun Lifang pretended not to hear the question, grabbed her thick, white arm, and pointed in a direction.
What are you looking at?
Zhou Xinya looked on with curiosity at the fleeting street scene.
This was precisely Sun Lifang's scheme.
Feint to the east while attacking in the west.
I never imagined that one day I would have to use this on my daughter.
Thinking about it, she sighed—
That's a huge waste of talent.
Fortunately, there are other wives who like children.
Zhou Xinya's attention was quickly diverted.
Sun Lifang was very happy to be able to transfer the "pressure".
...
The large clock on the hotel wall struck eight times, but Zhou Yunshi still hadn't returned.
Since he was out working, Sun Lifang gave him a call.
They said they started another game, but they don't know when it will end.
"Don't wait for me, you guys eat first."
Zhou Yunshi spoke a little slowly, a consequence of his drinking.
"Drink less," Sun Lifang said, then felt somewhat powerless.
Because for them, it's simply impossible to drink less.
It's pointless to say anything.
Then the only question I can ask is, "What time will you be back tonight?"
"I'll leave the door open for you."
She wanted to take care of her husband.
From a normal person's physical perspective, spending the entire day at drinking parties is actually quite uncomfortable.
Inside the enclosed private room, people not only welcome and see off guests, but also engage in interpersonal interactions.
You can't see the changes in the sky outside, nor can you feel the passage of time.
Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly empty.
A soft laugh came from the microphone, "Feeling sorry for me?"
It's that kind of straightforward expression again.
These past two days, influenced by others, she had no choice but to speak up.
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the microphone, and Sun Lifang could hear her own heartbeat.
The man seemed quite patient, his shallow, rhythmic breathing coming in short bursts.
Finally, Sun Lifang gave a soft "hmm".
I feel sorry for how hard you work to earn money to support the family, and you understand how difficult it is for me to take care of the family.
For now, she is very satisfied with Zhou Yunshi's attitude.
