The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 467 Taking Shape, Goddess of Dawn!
Since moving into Love Apartment, Wen Sheng has always felt that although he has integrated into this small group, he is also often independent.

Because of the prophetic ability, once you know where the plot is going, you can avoid embarrassing things that happen in the apartment.

Then, experience the comedy as if you were watching a play.

But Wen Sheng never expected that things would often turn out differently than he anticipated.

Perhaps because the logic of the comedy world is not very rigorous, and because everyone in the apartment has a rather unconventional way of thinking, even though he knew the development of the original plot, he could not predict what would happen next.

For example, this baby incident.

Wen Sheng originally just wanted to watch the excitement, but the baby ruined his plans.

On the contrary, it helped Qin Yumo achieve the feat of sleeping with a married couple, even though they were former spouses.

And because of this baby who had previously been ignored by Wen Sheng, all the boys in the apartment, except for Zhang Wei, ended up having bad luck.

Lu Ziqiao gets beaten up by his ex-girlfriend, Guan Gu's date falls through, Wen Sheng's plans fall apart, and as for Zeng Xiaoxian...

Lonely Corner Bar.

Seeing that the baby had actually brought his boss, Lisa Rong, to the scene of searching for his mother, Zeng Xiaoxian was a little flustered.

There was also some excitement at the same time.

"Lu Ziqiao, you're a terrible person!" Zeng Xiaoxian rebuked him sternly from the perspective of a good man.

But from a subordinate's perspective... Lu Ziqiao did a great job!

With Lisa Rong holding such leverage over him, he might not be able to act with impunity at the TV station, but he could at least act with impunity at the radio station!

Let's see if Nuolan will dare to use him as a joke on the show again!
However, when Lisa Rong said to Lu Ziqiao, "My parents have always taken care of the child. I did want to scare you, but I put it off because I was worried that some people would spread gossip on the radio."

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly stopped laughing.

"Oh my god, it's not yours either?!"

He thought he had found the child's biological mother, but the answer was quickly denied. After being tormented for two days, Lu Ziqiao was completely numb.

"What do you mean, is it mine or not? What are you talking about?"

Lisa Rong was somewhat confused by what they were saying.

Hu Yifei, a master of finishing blows, chimed in at the opportune moment: "Uh, Lisa, that's not important anymore. What's important is that some people already know about your adoption of a child. What are we going to do?"

Zeng Xiao Xian:"……"

“I see…” Lisa Rong looked Zeng Xiaoxian up and down, thought for a moment and then said, “Recently, the group has an opportunity to be transferred to a radio station in Afghanistan. I can let him go, and that way I will be safe.”

"..."

Zeng Xiaoxian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "It's safe now? Boss, I didn't mean to find out your secret. You can format me!"

He paused, then asked with some confusion, "Wasn't the Alashan Radio Station built with the group's assistance? Why is there also an Afghan Radio Station?"

“Alashan is an aid project, but Afghanistan is not. That’s our international channel, which we’ve had for a long time.”

Lisa Rong smiled and said, "It's just that because there are often battles there, our hosts sometimes have to act as war correspondents, so the accident rate is a bit high. Ever since the last host was killed by terrorists, they have been short-staffed."

“Zeng Xiaoxian, I think you’re quite suitable to go there. Counter-terrorism has always been a hot topic globally, and I believe you’ll definitely become… a rising star if you go,” Lisa Rong said with a sinister smile.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's legs almost went weak.

He had finally managed to escape from the Alashan project's shortlist, but now an even more dangerous Afghan radio station was waiting for him.

War correspondent?
Is this something an ordinary person could do?

“Alright, Lisa, I’ll also tell you a secret about Zeng Xiaoxian, so that you can cancel each other out.”

……

Kandahar, Afghanistan.

The midday sun, like a red-hot iron ball, hung in the sky of this poorest country in Asia.

But as the country's second-largest city and economic capital, besides bicycles and pedicabs, the newly built cement roads are occasionally paved with yellow taxis, yellower than the sandstorm itself, speeding by.

In front of a hotel in the commercial district, a yellow taxi stopped, and a woman shrouded in a blue robe got out.

In fact, as early as 2001, after the fall of the Taliban regime, the new Afghan constitution stipulated that women enjoy equal rights and that, in theory, there is no need to force them to wear a burqa, commonly known as a burqa.

However, theory is one thing, but in southern provinces like Kandahar, the Taliban still governs through a shadow government, and wearing a broka and a veil can save women a lot of trouble.

The woman, carrying a worn-out brown leather bag, walked straight into the hotel. Half a letter of the Pashto sign in the corridor had been erased, but the woman didn't care. She quickly took out her yellowed key from the door of her room.

Open the door, go in, close the door—all in one smooth motion.

"call!"

The woman let out a long breath, and then immediately removed her veil, revealing an Eastern face.

Without even taking off her Broca, she immediately unzipped her purse and took out a camera.

After skillfully removing the memory card from the camera, she immediately took out her laptop from her suitcase and inserted it to read the memory card.

"Jingle Bell!"

Just then, a piercing telephone ring sounded.

The woman's heart tightened, but when she took out her phone and saw that it was another member of her team calling, she felt relieved.

"Hey Laura, any luck on your end?"

Listening to the voice on the phone, Laura stared at the laptop screen and said, "I don't know. I went to the place you mentioned before, and all I saw was an abandoned factory. I heard that it used to be a venue for underground boxing matches."

"If you don't have it, that's fine. Just meet up with us sooner rather than later. The photo I sent you before was rather blurry; it might just be some random doodle."

Laura didn't speak, but kept flipping through the photos on the computer. After a long while, her gaze sharpened.

"That shouldn't be just mindless graffiti."

Laura looked at the red triangle pattern on the wall in the photo, which consisted of a rhombus and two irregular trapezoids, and breathed a sigh of relief. Below the pattern were several letters.

"Skynet, the Skynet network."

……

Evening, Love Apartment 3601.

"Yu Mo, where did you go today? I haven't seen you at all."

Hu Yifei, who was preparing dinner, couldn't help but ask Qin Yumo curiously as she walked in.

"I went shopping and got a beauty treatment with Nuolan!" Qin Yumo said, carrying a large pile of shopping bags.

"Huh?" Hu Yifei put down the kitchen knife and walked over. "Did I hear that right? I was already quite surprised yesterday when Youyou told me that you went to stay at Nuolan's house, and today you even went shopping and got a beauty treatment with her?"

"What's the big deal? In terms of importance, shouldn't I be the one who's more surprised to be staying at her house? We've done things like shopping and beauty treatments before."

Qin Yumo took out a shopping bag and handed it to Hu Yifei, saying, "Yifei, this is a skincare set that Nuolan and I bought for you."

"And mine too!"

Hu Yifei, who had just been full of surprise, now accepted the gift with a look of delight.

"Of course, there's also Youyou's." Qin Yumo took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and smiled, "This was carefully selected by our two skincare experts."

"Hehe, I thank you on behalf of Youyou."

Hu Yifei couldn't help but stare at Qin Yumo a few more times, then hesitated before asking, "Yumo, when did you and Nuolan become so close?"

"What's so strange about that? We're all women, so we naturally became friends."

“But between you two…” Hu Yifei’s words caught in her throat, and it took her a long time to finally say, “There’s also Wen Sheng’s matter.”

"Oh, right, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

As if remembering something, Qin Yumo pulled out another shopping bag and said, "There are also clothes that Nuolan bought for Wensheng. She asked me to give them to Wensheng."

"..."

Hu Yifei touched her forehead, but she didn't have a fever. Why did it feel like she was hallucinating?
"Yu Mo, do you not like Wen Sheng anymore?"

After Hu Yifei said those words, the smile on Qin Yumo's face slowly faded.

After a long silence, Qin Yumo sighed and said, "Yifei, I don't know the answer to this question either, but sometimes, people still need to have morals."

"Morality?" Hu Yifei's expression was strange.

Qin Yumo nodded emphatically, then added, "There's an old saying that goes, 'One should not covet a friend's wife!'"

"..."

……

"Yu Mo, what do you mean by this?"

Back in his apartment, Wen Sheng looked at the clothes Qin Yumo had brought him, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

"Nolan asked me to bring this to you. She said you left a lot of clothes at home and she was worried you wouldn't have enough to wear at the apartment," Qin Yumo said seriously.

Wen Sheng's lips twitched. Qin Yumo's words to him at this moment made him feel as if his plan had failed.

Seeing Qin Yumo get up to leave, Wen Sheng asked again, "I heard you stayed at Nuolan's house last night?"

"Yes, Nuolan invited me over and cooked a lot of dishes for me. I feel that they are no worse than your cooking."

When did your taste buds go bad?

"..." Qin Yumo, who had been maintaining a calm demeanor, instantly broke down upon hearing this and said awkwardly, "Okay, it is indeed still a bit lacking, but I think it's already very good. Moreover, as the only taster besides you, I felt Nuolan's full sincerity!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Sheng felt a headache coming on. Once things deviated from his expectations, they would get out of control.

Seeing Qin Yumo's current state, Wen Sheng pondered for a moment before asking directly, "So, you want to sever ties with me now?"

"..."

When the topic was finally brought up, Qin Yumo fell silent instantly.

But after a few seconds she whispered, "I think we need to cool off."

……

Night, at Nolan's house.

"I heard Qin Yumo stayed at our house last night?"

Wen Sheng, the Shanghai version of the incompetent husband—no, the incompetent ex-husband—asked Nuolan, who was applying an egg white face mask.

"Yes, he slept in our bed, sleeping with your wife."

"..."

Why does this sound a little off?
After calming himself down, Wen Sheng asked again, "When did you become so close to her?"

"Is that not allowed? We've eaten together a few times before, is it so hard to understand that we're close?"

After saying this, Nuolan glanced at him and sneered, "Or is it that I abducted her from the apartment, and you can't bear to part with her?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Sheng was startled, but he remained calm and asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm having an affair with her?"

If you're sure, I'm sure I'll admit it!

How could I possibly doubt it?

Nuolan pouted and snorted, "So what if he kissed you and confessed his feelings to you? What's the big deal?"

After a pause, Nuolan felt the face mask was starting to slip, so she applied it back on and said, "But when she confessed, I was the one who answered the phone. So, in a way, she actually confessed to me. Isn't it normal for me to bring her home to sleep with me?"

"..."

The dog-man's face froze, staring blankly at Nuolan, speechless.

Another unexpected thing happened: Yu Mo actually revealed all of this herself!

Wen Sheng slowly walked up to his ex-wife, who was lying on the sofa, and carefully looked at her face, which was covered by "cement".

Could it be that Nolan has already mastered the Goddess of Dawn's ability to purify the mind?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Looking at her ex-husband standing beside her, staring at her, Nuolan smiled and said, "Did you think you could hide this from me? Heh, Yu Mo was just traumatized by what happened with her fiancé back then, and you just happened to be the outlet for her emotions, which is why she accidentally went astray. As a relationship coach, I have handled many cases like this. I helped her correct her ways when we talked all night last night."

"..."

Wen Sheng remained silent, finally understanding why Yu Mo had acted that way after seeing him today.

It seems my emotions have truly been purified by the Goddess of Dawn.

"Why are not you talking?"

You've said everything, what else can I say?
Wen Sheng felt helpless; he had truly underestimated his ex-wife.

After calming down, Wen Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "I didn't mean to ask you those things just now. I was just a little curious about what you said about bringing Yu Mo into the house to sleep."

"What's so weird about this?"

"Do you... still like women?"

"..."

There was a two-second silence in the living room. Nuolan's smile, hidden behind her face mask, froze. She then snapped back to reality and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who likes women! No, you've always liked women, and you even like those wild women outside!"

Nuolan, who had been maintaining a confident demeanor, was shattered by Wen Sheng's words, and the "cement" on her face almost crumbled again.

Seeing that his words had worked, the scoundrel laughed, then quickly feigned ignorance and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'wild women outside'? I'm completely innocent!"

Since Yu Mo has already been taken home by Nuolan, she is naturally no longer considered an outsider.

Upon hearing this, Nuolan immediately sat up from the sofa, snorted, and went back to her room to retrieve the clothes that Wen Sheng had specially left at home.

"No other women outside? Then please explain the scent of women's perfume on your clothes?"

Since we've already gotten to that point, there's no need to hold back anymore. Nuolan went straight to the point.

Seeing that even the "cement" couldn't hide the anger on Nuolan's face, Wen Sheng frowned and asked, "What women's perfume on your clothes?"

"Stop pretending!" Nuolan threw the shirt at Wensheng. "Don't think you can deny it just because the perfume smell disappeared after a few days. I could smell it when I was about to do your laundry!"

Wen Sheng picked up the clothes, smelled them, and then tossed them aside, saying, "You think I have other women on the side just because of this?"

"if not?!"

The atmosphere at home suddenly became tense. Wen Sheng put away his smile, took out his car keys from his pocket, and tossed them to Nuolan.

"Go check the armrest box yourself. The car air freshener wasn't working well, so I switched to perfume. Go see if it smells like that wild woman you were thinking of!"

"..."

Hearing this, Nuolan was taken aback and subconsciously said, "That collar..."

"Can't I try the scent myself first?"

"..."

Holding the car keys in her hand, Nuolan really wanted to go downstairs to verify, but her remaining rationality told her that if she went, there would be no trust left between husband and wife.

Even if they are already divorced, since they no longer trust each other, they have lost even the emotional bond they currently share as husband and wife.

Nuolan looked somewhat bewildered. Just a moment ago, she was in control, suppressing Wen Sheng and leaving him speechless. How could the situation have reversed so quickly?
At this moment, Wen Sheng continued expressionlessly, "When I listened to your program a few days ago, you said that you would never doubt me again. I thought that was your true thought. Now it seems that the host was just saying it casually."

"No, I just..."

"Just what? Just being affectionate? Just loving me too much? This isn't your show, save those words for the microphone!"

In Wen Sheng's life creed, the results of his plans were only divided into big wins and small wins; he hadn't experienced failure in a long time.

But clearly, this time he suffered defeat at the hands of the Dawn Goddess.

However, even if defeat is imminent, there is still room for maneuver. While it's not possible to immediately turn the tide, at least the situation should be changed to a lose-lose situation.

Seeing that Nuolan was speechless, Wen Sheng seemed to have figured something out and sneered, "Oh~ so that's why you suddenly brought Yu Mo home. Did you bring her back just to verify if the perfume on my clothes was hers? Ha, is this what you call a good friend?"

"..."

Nuolan, whose expression had been confirmed, was first embarrassed, then panicked, but unfortunately, all of this was hidden by the "cement".

"No... I really do consider her a friend now..."

"whispering sound!"

Wen Sheng snorted, as if he didn't care to listen to her explanation.

Without waiting for Nuolan to explain anything further, he turned and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Nuolan quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

“I’m going back to my apartment; at least there I’m someone you can trust.”

"..."

Watching her ex-husband leave, Nuolan stood there at a loss, but soon the car keys in her hand reminded her, and she quickly chased after him, saying, "Your car keys are still with me."

"You can verify it and then clear my name."

Before the elevator doors closed, Wen Sheng left these words behind.

This time, he didn't say anything like "we're already divorced" or "you're meddling too much." Times have changed, and you can't keep saying those kinds of things every time you argue.

Otherwise, things could really go wrong.

……

Two days later, when the young mother from that island nation arrived at 3602, the search for the mother that had lasted for several days in the apartment finally came to an end.

Lu Ziqiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, but in the end, it was all his own fault.

Just because he saw a beautiful Japanese woman in a bar who didn't speak much Chinese, he foolishly gave her directions to Love Apartment 3602.

The place they originally wanted to go was Aisen Apartments.

Hmm... It's exactly the same way Guan Gu Shenqi was tricked into coming here back then.

Because of Lu Ziqiao's foolishness, the apartment was thrown into chaos, and even Wen Sheng suffered an undeserved misfortune, causing the perfume project to fail.

Wen Sheng originally thought that Qin Yumo's talk of calming down would last at most ten days or half a month, and at most no more than a month.

But he hadn't expected that he had underestimated Qin Yumo. Their relationship had cooled down so much that it had frozen the rest of the year.

And so, the Spring Festival arrived in no time.
