Xia Baozhu called Huang Guangnian in the provincial capital, asking him to help find someone to renovate the shop and mailing him the blueprints.
Of course, this kind of thing comes with a reward.
Although Huang Guangnian verbally declined, he was secretly delighted. He wasn't after the money; he just enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came from beautiful women asking him for help.
Chen Wenbin went there during the shop's renovation and met Huang Guangnian; the two quickly became acquainted.
San Gou is busy training the newly hired employees at the store. He is now in charge of managing two stores and often travels back and forth by bicycle. He wanted to buy a motorcycle, but Sun Xingyan stopped him.
"Look how fat you are! Your waist is almost the size of a bucket. If you ride a motorcycle, you'll become as fat as a ball. Do you want to roll to and from get off work?"
When facing others, Sun Xingyan remained true to his sharp tongue, saying, "With your fat body, it'll be hard for you to find a wife."
"Hehe, you're missing out on that. I have a girlfriend now, and we'll get married after the house is renovated in the second half of the year."
San Gou chuckled twice. He now has dozens of people under him and is the manager of two stores. His salary is incredibly high. Even if he gets a little fatter, there will still be people who like him.
"You're something else, hiding yourself so well. You're so dedicated to the shop, do you even have time for dating? You're not one of the shop's employees, are you?"
Sun Xingyan glanced at the group photo of the store's employees from last year, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Is that Jia Hongying?"
"You have a good eye. Yes, it's Hongying." San Gou said, a sweet smile playing on his lips.
That evening, Sun Xingyan brought up the topic of San Gou's relationship.
“Yes, I already knew that. This is great, it solves the single problem for two people at once,” Xia Baozhu replied while writing.
Sun Xingyan made the bed and sat down next to Xia Baozhu to watch her write one slender and powerful character after another, which slowly turned into a wonderful story.
"Wife, how much longer do we have to write?" Sun Xingyan raised his wrist to check the time; it was already ten o'clock.
"I'll finish this section soon, then I'll write down another idea and then go to sleep. You go to sleep first."
Sun Xingyan rested his chin on his hand, remaining motionless. His wife was simply too busy, busy during the day and busy at night.
While others go home to eat and sleep, she sets herself tasks, studying and writing. It's exhausting just watching her.
It would be better if Liu Runan were here; at least she could go to bed early with him.
Sun Xingyan opened the drawer out of boredom and pulled out a photo album that had been sent to him, which he had long forgotten to look at.
He flipped through his handsome photos, a smile playing on his lips, until he saw those embarrassing pictures from his past. He glanced at Baozhu guiltily, then quickly pulled out the three photos and stuffed them into his pants pocket.
"Baozhu, I'm going to the restroom." He stood up calmly, feeling his legs go weak. He pinched himself hard and hissed in pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Baozhu looked up, staring at Sun Xingyan's inexplicable behavior.
"Nothing, I just bumped my leg on the table." Sun Xingyan stopped dawdling and quickly got up to leave.
"Wait a minute," Xia Baozhu called out to him.
Sun Xingyan's heart raced, almost leaping out of his throat. Had they been discovered? He turned around and asked with a smile, "What is it, wife?"
"Put on your coat before you go out," Baozhu said, pointing to the coat on the hanger.
"I know, honey, you're the one who cares about me the most." Sun Xingyan quickly put on his coat, opened the door, and went out.
Seeing his flustered appearance, Xia Baozhu assumed he had an upset stomach, so she got up to pour him a glass of warm water and added a spoonful of honey.
Sun Xingyan carefully opened the gate, ran to the back of a low wall in the alley, took out a lighter and a photo, and lit a corner of it with the lighter.
"What are you doing?" Sun Xingyan was so focused on burning the photos that he didn't notice someone behind him. The photo he had only burned a corner of was snatched away.
He had a bad feeling and quickly stood up to snatch back the photo. Then he saw Chen Shanlou with a cold look in his eyes.
Chen Shanlou had business in Taicheng today and didn't go home that night. He drove to Xia Baozhu's house, where the lights were still on. The thought of her sleeping with another man made him feel both depressed and upset.
He mocked Xia Baozhu for her poor taste in men, saying that she got married but didn't have a wedding ceremony and even moved into her house.
This man only dared to take advantage of her family's assets because he saw her as a single person, and knew that no matter how much she earned, it would still belong to both of them.
A man who treats her well before marriage may not treat her well after marriage. Just wait and see.
He didn't believe she had the courage to get divorced again.
Even if they treat her badly, she can only endure it.
Shen Shanlou stared at Xia Baozhu's front door with a face full of jealousy, envy and hatred, cursing in his heart that the couple inside must not be living a good life.
His wish was soon fulfilled. He saw Sun Xingyan sneaking out, and something was definitely wrong with him acting so suspiciously so late at night.
Chen Shanlou glanced at the gate with a cold smile, followed behind Sun Xingyan, and snatched the photo away when Sun Xingyan burned it. Seeing Sun Xingyan's panicked expression, he was secretly delighted.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
"Chenshanlou, give me back my things!" If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but the person who came was Chenshanlou, who was eyeing Xia Baozhu with covetous intent, which made Sun Xingyan nervous.
Chen Shanlou snorted coldly, turned on his flashlight, and saw the photo clearly. Very good, very good. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling a mix of satisfaction, mockery, schadenfreude, and disappointment.
"Give it to me now!" Sun Xingyan reached out to grab it, but Chen Shanlou dodged it.
Compared to an ordinary person, Sun Xingyan is incomparable in terms of both physical strength and speed.
"Xia Baozhu regrets choosing a man like you, doesn't she?" Chen Shanlou raised an eyebrow and smiled, waving the photo in his hand. "You and her ex-husband are exactly the same, equally shameless, but you both know how to charm women, even making a hard-to-get woman like Xia Baozhu fall for you. But what was the result?"
"Who are you calling shameless? Who's trying to woo a woman?" Sun Xingyan was so angry that he threw a punch, but Shen Shanlou dodged it by sidestepping.
Soon, Chen Shanlou's counterattack began. Sun Xingyan was hit hard by a punch, but he gritted his teeth and punched back. Chen Shanlou grabbed his arm and countered, hitting him two more times.
He'd wanted to beat this man up for a long time. He stole his woman and didn't even appreciate her. He was such a womanizer, even dating foreign women.
Chen Shanlou was burning with rage, wanting nothing more than to kill this man.
What are you doing?
After Xia Baozhu finished writing her manuscript, she noticed that Sun Xingyan hadn't returned yet, so she called his name in the courtyard, but there was no response. She searched the courtyard but couldn't find him, so she ran outside and heard the sounds of fighting. Fearing that Sun Xingyan had been beaten, she quickly ran over.
By the dim light, she could finally make out that it was Chenshan Tower, and the one he was pressing was Sun Xingyan.
