After closing the lipstick cap, Zhong Qing turned around and said to Shen Mingzhu with a smile: "Okay, this isn't expensive anymore."

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

You are really smart.

…

“Beep beep.”

On the side of the road, Pei Yang was walking and chatting with two middle-aged men. When they heard the horn, the three of them turned their heads instinctively.

Shen Mingzhu leaned her head out of the driver's window, pulled down her sunglasses and gave Pei Yang a wink.

"Hi, handsome."

Pei Yang suppressed his laughter and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Are you free? Come to my house. My husband isn't home tonight."

"OK."

Pei Yang turned around and greeted the two middle-aged men, then walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Shen Mingzhu politely nodded to the two people on the side of the road and drove away in a cloud of dust.

One of the middle-aged men stared at the rear of the Crown car with envy: "Tsk, it's good to be handsome. You can meet a beautiful lady on the street, and she's a beautiful rich lady."

Another one patted his shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? That's someone's wife, Mr. Shen from the Meihao Food Factory."

The man clapped his legs and laughed, "Young people nowadays really know how to have fun!"

…

Pei Yang looked at his wife's happy face and jokingly asked, "Did you pick up money?"

Shen Mingzhu patted the steering wheel and said, "I didn't pick up any money, but I picked up a car."

"What car?"

"Qingqing gave me this car."

"Why would she give you a car for no reason?"

"She said it was a birthday gift. This car was her first car. She hadn't driven it much in the past few years. It was just gathering dust at home, so she gave it to me."

Pei Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe he was just joking, how dare you accept it?"

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him unhappily, "Do you think I'm stupid? Can't you tell the truth from the lie?"

"You are stupid."

"You are stupid."

"Well, I'm a silly man, and you're a silly woman."

"screw you."

The couple joked along the way, and when they passed a roast meat shop, Shen Mingzhu stopped the car and asked Pei Yang to buy a roast chicken to take home as a snack.

Two days later, Yan Su called Shen Mingzhu to ask her out for dinner.

The meal took place at Berna Restaurant. In fact, this was where the two met for the first time.

"Order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat. I have to go on a business trip to Country M in a couple of days, so I probably won't be able to make it to your birthday, so I'm celebrating in advance for you today."

After hearing what Yan Su said, Shen Mingzhu didn't hesitate and ordered the most expensive fillet.

She likes eating the steak there very much. The meat is tender and smooth. When she takes a bite, the rich juice bursts in her mouth with a strong milky flavor. It is so delicious that she can't stop eating it.

"Have you finished eating? Do you want anything else?"

Yan Su put down his knife and fork after eating very little, and watched her eat with his chin in his hand. After she finished eating, he asked her gently.

Shen Mingzhu took a sip of sparkling wine and said, "I'm full. I can't eat anymore."

Hearing her answer, Yan Su smiled and handed over the car keys.

"For you. Happy birthday, Mingzhu."

Shen Mingzhu looked at the car keys, a little confused, "You're not going to give me a car too, are you?"

The word "also" made Yan Su raise an eyebrow, "Who else gave you a car?"

Shen Mingzhu took up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Qingqing, she gave me her Crown car."

Yan Su nodded, "She gave hers, and I gave mine."

"No, I have a car now."

Yan Su immediately frowned, "You took Qingqing's car but not mine, do you think mine is not up to standard?"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"That's good, then you can take it!"

Yan Su put the car keys in front of her, as if to say, "If you don't take them, you look down on me."

No, are all you rich people so willful?

"You gave me the car, don't you want to use it yourself?"

"Oh, my sister bought me a new car."

Wow, rich sister YYDS.

Now, Shen Mingzhu herself felt that she was being ungrateful if she didn't accept the car.

Yan Su's car is an imported car produced in the Soviet Union. Although it is a bit old, it was also a star model in the past few years.

Yan Su also specially renovated the car, changing the original champagne-colored body to pearl white, and replacing the interior with new leather seats in Shen Mingzhu's favorite burgundy color.

Really, she was deeply moved.

…

At the dinner table that night, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang divided the two cars. "You can use the Crown for now. I'll drive the Volga."

"I don't want it."

The man's tone was obviously emotional, "It's a gift from someone, not from me."

"Don't pull it down."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the man, then turned to Pei Ziheng and said, "Son, mom will keep it for you. I'll open it for you when you grow up."

Pei Ziheng nodded happily, "Thank you, Mom."

After dinner, Pei Yang cleaned up the dishes, and Shen Mingzhu took the two children out for a walk.

After taking a walk back home, Pei Ziheng took Guoguo to the study upstairs to play. Shen Mingzhu went into the kitchen to boil the bath water before returning to the bedroom.

Pei Yang was half lying on the bed with a book in his hand. He saw her come in, glanced at her, then looked away and raised his hand to turn a page of the book.

Shen Mingzhu walked over and said, "They kindly gave me the car, why are you so angry?"

"I'm not angry."

Shen Mingzhu placed her hands on both sides of the man's cheeks and squeezed them hard, "Look at your face, it's longer than a horse's face."

Pei Yang pulled her hand down but did not let go, just holding it in his palm.

He wasn't in a bad mood, he just felt depressed.

The daughter-in-law wanted better living conditions, but he, as a husband, could do nothing to help her.

Being unable to provide what a beloved woman wants is undoubtedly a huge blow and denial for a man with a strong self-esteem and a chauvinistic nature.

He didn't know how to express his frustrated feelings.

"Pei Yang."

"Um."

"You have been wronged in the past few years."

Pei Yang looked up at her and said nothing.

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Since you resigned, you have devoted all your time and energy to this family, to me and the children. You deserve the title of husband and father."

"Now the company's development has stabilized, Ziheng and Guoguo have grown up, if you have any ideas, you can do it now."

"If you want to start a business, you can use the family savings. If it's not enough, we can find a solution together."

Under the light, the woman's eyebrows are gentle and her eyes are clear.

Pei Yang suddenly realized that even if he didn't say anything, his wife understood him.

Understand his troubles and care about his feelings.

After realizing this, the emotions that were tangled like a spider web in his heart disappeared in an instant.

All he wants in this life is the person in front of him.

"Aren't you afraid that I will lose all the money you have worked so hard to earn?"

"Just pay it, I can afford it." Shen Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "Have you decided what to do?"

Pei Yang nodded, smiling, "I want a kiss from my wife."

Shen Mingzhu came forward, kissed him on the lips, tapped his nose with her white fingers, and asked softly, "Are you happy now?"

"Um."

Pei Yang hugged her waist passionately, with satisfaction on his face, "Wife, I love you."

Shen Mingzhu leaned on his chest with curved lips and replied softly, "Me too."

"You too what?"

"I am what you are."

"I want to hear you say it."

"I told you so."

"when?"

Shen Mingzhu thought about it carefully, "New Year's Eve two years ago."

In a flash, Pei Yang remembered.

He never imagined that what he missed that night was his wife's confession.

His chest ached from the combination of frustration and joy, and he had to do something to vent. (End of this chapter)
