Huo Zheng said seriously, “However, 1 still have to tell you. No matter what, you still have to fight for yourself, understand? You can’t just go along with everything others say.”
Although his expression was serious, his voice was gentle, and the love and affection in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
“Even if, I say if, we get married and I fall in love with someone else,” Huo Zheng said. He paused for a moment, choosing his words carefully before he continued to say, “You should quarrel with me, scold me, or hit me. In short, you have to fight for your own interest, understand?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly regretted it. He felt like he did not articulate his thoughts properly. In the end, he said, “Forget it. I won’t wrong you no matter what.”
“But… Don’t you think that’s a little unreasonable if I act like that?”
Huo Zheng glanced at her and said lightly, “It doesn’t matter if you’re unreasonable.”
Lin Xiaowan was stunned by his words. After a long while, she said, “Well said. If you work a little harder, you can officially become my boyfriend.” “Huh?” Huo Zheng said with a frown, “Didn’t you already acknowledge me previously?”
“No, don’t talk nonsense,” Lin Xiaowan said, breaking free of his embrace, “You’re still in the trial period. If you don’t perform well, see if I don’t fire you…”
Huo Zheng laughed and shook his head. He did not argue with her and let her be.
A few days later, Zhu Yingyue took the initiative to contact Lin Xiaowan, saying that she wanted to meet to talk about the dessert shop. She proposed to meet at her house.
Lin Xiaowan did not have a good impression of Zhu Yingyue who cheated so she asked tentatively, “Will you be home alone?”
Zhu Yingyue’s tone was a little bitter even though she tried to be nonchalant. “Yes. He’s at work.”
Lin Xiaowan could not help but feel sorry for Zhu Yingyue since she could hear Zhu Yingyue’s bitterness. It was likely that her husband was not busy with work.
Zhu Yingyue’s house was close to Huo Zheng’s company. It was located in a very expensive area that was quiet, beautiful, and green. The residential area was separated from the noisy downtown area.
Although Lin Xiaowan and Huo Zheng lived in a high-rise building, the environment around the building was also verdant and beautiful. However, compared to this place, it was still quite far from the city. There were not many people, and getting food delivered could also be difficult.
Zhu Yingyue’s home was very lively because of her children. Toys and all kinds of children’s things were scattered everywhere. Although it was messy, it was clean. The color of the house was very warm and cozy, and it was clear that it had been carefully decorated.
After changing into the guest’s slippers, Lin Xiaowan handed the gift she had brought over for her visit.
Zhu Yingyue did not expect Lin Xiaowan to give her a gift, and she was pleasantly surprised.
Zhu Yingyue did not have many friends all these years. She mostly interacted with other mothers, and it could get quite exhausting since they had a tendency to compete, which was annoying.
Lin Xiaowan told Zhu Yingyue about her thoughts after she spoke to Huo Zheng. She said, “You’ve been married to him for so many years. How can you just accept him cheating on you? You should make a scene and fight for your own interest.”
Zhu Yingyue was dressed in a long green dress today. Her black hair was carefully pulled to the back, making her look gentle and elegant. However, there was a hint of sorrow in the depths of her eyes, making her look a little bitter.
Lin Xiaowan stared at Zhu Yingyue and discovered that the latter had quite a bit of white hair hidden among her black hair. Her expression was calm, but she was inwardly frightened. In her mind, only middle-aged people would have white hair. She did not expect Zhu Yingyue to already have white hair. After all, Zhu Yingyue did not look her age, and she had the unique charm of a mature and intellectual woman.
Zhu Yingyue looked at the young woman who spoke to her seriously, and she felt melancholic. She felt that Lin Xiaowan’s words were very naive, but she also envied Lin Xiaowan for retaining her naivete, still untainted by the passage of life and time.
“Let’s not talk about our premarital agreement first,” Zhu Yingyue said with a hint of self-mocking, “Even if I make a fuss, what capital do 1 have to make a fuss with him? I’m not capable. My parents also can’t help me. Will he give in just because I make a fuss? If 1 make a fuss, he’s probably going to make things even more difficult for me. I’m materialistic after all…”
Lin Xiaowan did not know what to say to these words.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yingyue realized she had let her emotions get the better of her. She laughed and led Lin Xiaowan to the kitchen as she said, “Alright, let’s forget about him. I baked a cake today.”
Zhu Yingyue invited Lin Xiaowan over today because she had thought about it and decided to open up a shop. She wanted to explore Lin Xiaowan’s thoughts again.
Lin Xiaowan was usually indecisive. However, if someone had a definite direction and idea, she would follow along. To put it bluntly, she was a fence-sitter without a backbone.
“I don’t have any experience… I don’t even know what to do after opening the shop,” Lin Xiaowan said, looking slightly embarrassed.. She did not hide her shortcomings as she continued to say, “I don’t know how to do accounting, and I don’t have relevant management experience… If we open a shop together, can I just stay in the shop and sell our goods?”
