Chapter 531 Happy Birthday
As soon as the sky began to lighten, Chen Xiaohui got up.
She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, tidied herself up briefly, and then went out.
She was going to the market to buy groceries, which is why she got up so early.
Because she had a lot of things to buy every day, she asked the shop's chef to go with her.
Bringing a chef along has one advantage: he knows what's needed every day and what's missing in the kitchen.
This saved Chen Xiaohui a lot of trouble. She didn't have to go to the kitchen every day to check, and she could just ask the chef what she needed to buy.
The chef's name is Zhou Shen, 39 years old, Chinese, divorced and has a daughter.
With so many chefs in the restaurant, why did Chen Xiaohui only take Zhou Shen to buy groceries? It's because Zhou Shen's daughter is the same age as An Xin, and they share a common language.
In addition, Zhou Shen had a particularly sweet tongue, which pleased Chen Xiaohui, so Chen Xiaohui asked Zhou Shen to accompany her to buy groceries every day.
They meet at the entrance of the vegetable market every morning and then go to buy groceries together.
Over the course of two months, the two worked together very well.
From afar, Chen Xiaohui saw Zhou Shen, who stood like a gatekeeper at the entrance of the vegetable market.
Chen Xiaohui quickened her pace, "Zhou Shen."
Upon seeing Chen Xiaohui, Zhou Shen immediately smiled.
"Let's go," Chen Xiaohui said as she walked up to him.
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Shen called out to Chen Xiaohui, who was about to enter the vegetable market.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaohui stopped and asked.
Zhou Shen took out an exquisite red box from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xiaohui with some shyness: "Happy birthday."
"What?"
Looking at the box Zhou Shen handed her, Chen Xiaohui was a little confused. "Whose birthday is it?"
Zhou Shen said with a smile, "Today is your birthday, have you forgotten?"
Believe it or not, Chen Xiaohui really forgot that she hadn't celebrated her birthday in a long time.
A wave of emotion welled up inside me, and my eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Surprisingly, someone still remembered her birthday.
Zhou Shen took Chen Xiaohui's hand and placed the small box in her palm.
Just as Chen Xiaohui was about to refuse, she heard Zhou Shen say, "This is a birthday present for you, you can't refuse!"
"But...how can I accept your gift?"
Chen Xiaohui was somewhat embarrassed.
"Xiao Hui, will you be my girlfriend?"
Zhou Shen said with deep emotion.
"What?"
Chen Xiaohui seemed to have burned her hand and quickly shoved the box back to Zhou Shen, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't accept this gift."
"Why?" Zhou Shen was devastated. "Don't you like me?"
"No, you are very good, but I don't want to look anymore. I will never look again in my life."
Chen Xiaohui said hurriedly.
Since the Wang Junfeng incident, Chen Xiaohui has vowed never to look for another man again.
She should just stay and take care of Anxin quietly.
If she really wants to find someone, she'll have to wait until Anxin grows up and gets married before she'll consider it.
That's absolutely not possible right now.
She dared not, and was afraid.
"Why don't you want to find someone else? Are you worried that I'll treat your daughter badly? I swear, I will treat you and Anxin well."
Zhou Shen raised his right hand as if to swear an oath.
“No.” Chen Xiaohui quickly pressed Zhou Shen’s hand and said, “This has nothing to do with you. It’s my own problem. In short, I will not look for anyone else. I will only consider my personal life after An Xin grows up and gets married.”
Zhou Shen's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. Even if he liked Chen Xiaohui a lot, he couldn't possibly wait for her that long.
