First spoiled, then love

Chapter 550: A Woman Who Has Been Female All Her Life (11000)

In the end, Yang Bingbing and the others discussed it and decided to pay compensation.

But not that much compensation.

Chen Qingrong went to talk to Ms. Li directly. He told her directly, "It's true that my friend was the first to attack, but you also fought back, and she was slightly injured. Fifty thousand yuan is a bit too much. We can compensate you at most five thousand yuan as a token of our appreciation."

Ms. Li was furious. "Five thousand yuan? Are you sending away beggars? You little brat, do you know that I went to the beauty salon to get..."

"I don't care what kind of crappy beauty salon you go to. We'll pay a maximum of five thousand dollars anyway. If you want it, we'll make peace. If you don't want it, you'll go to jail with my friend."

"Anyway, my friend is still young. Even if she stays in jail for a year or two, she will be a beautiful young girl. There will be no shortage of men who want her. But what about you? By the time you come out, you will probably be in menopause. Can you afford to waste time with my friend?"

Chen Qingrong interrupted Ms. Li mercilessly and ridiculed her harshly.

Ms. Li gritted her teeth and wanted to refute and curse, but she finally gave in. "Eight thousand, I won't do it even a penny less!"

"deal!"

Chen Qingrong is a big shot.

Afterwards, Ms. Li and Ren Furong signed their names on the mediation agreement. Chen Qingrong directly scanned 8,000 yuan and gave it to Ms. Li. Only then did Ms. Li leave indignantly.

Ren Furong came back to her senses and said to Chen Qingrong gratefully, "Brother Chen, thank you for helping me get the price down. I will return the 8,000 yuan to you as soon as I turn on my phone."

Chen Qingrong joked, "You don't have to pay it back. Just consider it as a wedding gift I gave you in advance. When you get married in the future, I'll go over and eat and drink for free. Just don't chase me away."

Ren Furong smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still get married? I no longer have any expectations or fantasies about things like marriage."

"Don't say that. You can't just walk barefoot forever because a pair of shoes doesn't fit you. Take your time. You will eventually meet the best and most suitable person to marry. Believe me, I'm very good at judging people."

Chen asked Qingrong to comfort her.

Ren Furong looked at him with twinkling eyes, "Actually, I think Brother Chen, you are a very suitable marriage partner."

Chen Qingrong was immediately shocked, "Hey, you can't think like that, this is a pure love show, you can't turn it into a melodramatic show!"

"What? I'm praising you, not fancying you. Don't make fun of me!" Ren Furong stomped her feet in embarrassment.

"Hahaha."

Chen Qingrong and the other two all laughed.

But seeing Ren Furong's current appearance, it is obvious that she has recovered a little from the previous blow, which is good. The most worrying thing is that she keeps her emotions in her heart and never vents them, which would really make her feel depressed.

Yang Bingbing said with some regret at this time, "It's a pity that the grandson surnamed Han ran away. If he were still here, I would really beat him up."

"Furong, do you want to vent your anger? If you want to vent your anger, just trick that Han guy out and I'll find someone to beat him up first!"

Ren Furong quickly waved her hand and shook her head, "No need, Sister Bingbing, I don't even want to see him now, just treat him as dead."

Yang Bingbing was stunned for a moment, then she gently hugged her shoulders and said, "You should come home with me tonight. It will be boring for you to be alone at home."

In fact, she was worried that Ren Furong would do something stupid.

Ren Furong hummed obediently.

Then the four of them separated.

After Chen Qingrong returned home, Tang Xiaoru, who was still waiting for news, immediately came up to him and grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's going on? How is Furong?"

Chen Qingrong smiled crookedly, "I'm back, I must have brought good news, don't worry, I've paid the 388,000 yuan, and the matter is over. Sister Furong has also gone home with Yang Bingbing and the others."

Tang Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief. "Huh, that's good, that's good, as long as I'm not detained."

Chen Qingrong snorted, "That bitch originally wanted 50,000 yuan, and I was the one who negotiated the price down. Why, don't you even praise me?"

Tang Xiaoru was happy and quickly hugged him, "Okay, I'll praise you. My husband is the best, okay?"

Chen Qingrong raised his eyebrows, "Is it that simple? How perfunctory!"

Tang Xiaoru narrowed her eyes, "Then let me help you suck it?"

"Well, forget it, it's actually good to keep it simple." Chen Qingrong was immediately scared, "I can't do anything to you now, I can't satisfy you every time, oh, I'd better give up meat for the time being, it's good to just eat vegetarian food."

Tang Xiaoru punched him lightly on the chest and said unhappily, "What do you mean? Are you disgusted with my mouth?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "No, no, your mouth is very sexy and soft, but, well, let me give you an example. Although noodles can be eaten any way they are cooked, the taste of clear soup noodles and tomato and egg noodles is still different."

Tang Xiaoru curled her lips, "Wow~ Such profound words, I really don't understand."

"Don't play tricks on me." Chen Qingrong flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "Okay, no more nonsense, let's go to the room and sleep."

"Uh-huh."

The night passed like this.

After getting up the next day, Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru washed up, and then he sent baby Xiaoru to Yang Bingbing's house.

Since something like that happened to Ren Furong, Tang Xiaoru, as one of her best friends, had to go and comfort her.

After arranging this matter, Chen Qingrong went to work at the company.

As soon as he entered the elevator, Ni Shengnan called him, "Brother Chen, my dad asked you to come home tonight."

Chen Qingrong was stunned, "Uncle Sun?"

"Yes." Ni Shengnan continued, "He asked you to come to his house in the evening, and I want to be there too. He said he needs our help to participate in a ceremony to pray for Nian Cheng."

Chen Qingrong smiled helplessly, "Is it the same as the previous ritual? Uncle Sun and his wife are really superstitious now. But, okay, I will go there around seven or eight in the evening."

"Yeah." Ni Shengnan smiled, then suddenly said hesitantly, "It happens to be tonight, and I also want to introduce someone to you."

"Who?"

"I won't tell you now, you'll know in the evening."

"You're still keeping me in suspense. OK, see you tonight."

"Uh-huh."

As soon as I hung up the phone, the elevator door opened.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen!" The receptionist stood up and greeted him with great youthful energy.

Chen Qingrong glanced at her and said, "Did you get excited so early in the morning, or did you win five million? You look so happy when you smile, are you dating someone?"

The receptionist said shyly, "Oh, no more, Mr. Chen, please stop teasing me."

Chen Qingrong was happy and didn't bother to expose her.

Looking at the way she smiles in such a wanton way, who would believe that she is not in a relationship?

Anyway, Chen Qingrong didn't believe it.

After Chen Qingrong entered the company, he greeted the employees.

An employee asked him, "Mr. Chen, is our annual leave this year about the same as last year's?"

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment, "Well, it's about the same time. What's the matter? It's not even the end of December yet, and you're already looking forward to the holidays? Are you in such a hurry?"

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry. The main reason is that my mother asked a matchmaker to find a partner for me, and she's waiting for me to go back during the Chinese New Year to see him. I asked about the time so that I can make arrangements then, hehe." The male employee smiled embarrassedly.

Chen Qingrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sure, Xiao Qi, report your battle situation to me at any time. If you win, I will send you a red envelope to celebrate."

"Okay, just for what you said, Mr. Chen, I will definitely take him down."

"Haha."

When it was noon, Chen Qingrong called Tang Xiaoru and asked her if she had eaten on time.

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "We have already started eating. Bingbing's mother cooked for lunch today, and Furong and I are eating here. Have you eaten yet, husband?"

Chen Qingrong said pretentiously, "Look at the way you ask this question. Your husband is focused on his work, so why would he care about whether he has food or not?"

"Stop pretending. You're not that hardworking at all." Tang Xiaoru exposed him directly.

Chen Qingrong chuckled and asked, "How is Furong? Is she calmer now?"

"Much better. Bingbing told me that when Furong slept in the same bed with her last night, she scolded Han Le for nearly three hours and cried loudly. She finally vented her frustration."

"Wow, she cursed for three hours? Her vocabulary is amazing."

"That's right. Bingbing was shocked. As for Han Le, he even shamelessly sent a message to Furong. He said that he had broken up with the girl surnamed Li for Furong and hoped that Furong would give him another chance."

"Nonsense, I think he was kicked out by someone?" Chen Qingrong laughed angrily.

Tang Xiaoru smiled, "That's right, we said the same thing. Furong will never go back to her husband again. She scolded Han Le on WeChat and blocked her. Out of sight, out of mind."

Chen Qingrong also reminded her, "You still have to work hard for Furong. The ones who can please rich women are all good at speaking. Let Furong be firm in her heart and don't let that scumbag just coax her into submission with a few nice words."

"If that's the case, then the eight thousand dollars I spent last night was really wasted."

Tang Xiaoru said confidently, "Don't worry, Furong is not that kind of person. Besides, Han Le really hurt her too deeply this time. How could she turn back again?"

"Also, Furong, Bingbing, and I are going to play mahjong tonight. You can come over after get off work. We're waiting for you."

"You guys want to play mahjong again?"

"She's just bored, and Bingbing is about to join the crew for filming, so she wants to have as many days of fun as possible before she gets busy."

"What drama is she going to film next?" Chen Qingrong was very curious. "She's a mother now, so she shouldn't be able to film idol dramas anymore, right?"

Tang Xiaoru was amused. "What are you worried about? Bingbing is not even 30 years old yet. She is so pretty. It is the best time for her to act in idol dramas. How could she stop acting just because she has a child?"

Changing the subject, Tang Xiaoru said, "But she is not filming an idol drama this time. She is playing a high school student."

"High school student? Another Chinese youth pain movie?" Chen Qingrong was speechless. "Okay, okay, I was thinking that if she had a new drama, I could still support her for a while, but now it seems that I don't need to support her. I can recite the routines of Chinese youth pain movies by heart. There's nothing good to watch."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, hang up first, I'll see my husband tonight."

"it is good."

The phone hangs up.

Only then did Chen Qingrong feel at ease and ordered some takeout.

This time he was extravagant and didn't bother to prepare the meal, so he just ordered directly.

Although it is more than ten dollars more expensive, isn’t this dozen dollars a proof of one’s ability?

In the afternoon, Chen Yun came to see Chen Qingrong.

She came to ask for leave from Chen Qingrong.

"Your mother is going to have surgery. OK, then you don't have to come starting tomorrow. Come back when you're better. Say hello to your mother for me." Chen Qingrong agreed readily.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Chen Yun blinked shyly, and pretended to mention it casually, "Thank you for your regards to my mother, Mr. Chen. Actually, my mother has also urged me to find a boyfriend, but I have never found another man as outstanding as you, Mr. Chen. It's a pity."

Chen Qingrong frowned slightly, "Team Leader Chen, I suddenly remembered that it's almost New Year's Day, and the annual summary of the New Media Department hasn't been handed over to me yet, right? Why don't you work overtime today to finish it?"

"Ah?" Chen Yun was dumbfounded. "Mr. Chen, I..."

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Qingrong smiled kindly and interrupted her.

"..."

After getting off work in the evening, Chen Qingrong drove directly to Yang Bingbing's house.

When he arrived, the three best friends had already started playing.

Compared to last night, Ren Furong looked much more energetic and smiled more often. But Chen Qingrong couldn't figure out whether she was really cheering up or just putting on an act for everyone.

"I can only play with you for a while. I have to go to Uncle Sun's house in the evening." Chen Qingrong suddenly thought of this and said.

Tang Xiaoru was stunned, "Why are you going to Sun Cheng's house?"

Chen Qingrong shrugged helplessly, "Shengnan called me this morning and said that Uncle Sun asked me to come over in the evening and participate in a blessing ceremony with Shengnan. It is similar to the previous ritual, and the object of blessing is Nian Cheng."

Tang Xiaoru suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's the case, then you can go at night."

Yang Bingbing asked curiously, "What happened to the second child of the Sun family? Wasn't he born not long ago? Why do they have to hold a blessing ceremony?"

Chen Qingrong said, "It's definitely not a problem. I guess they just wanted to have some psychological comfort, so they held this prayer ceremony. I can even guess that it was my aunt's idea."

"Oh." Yang Bingbing pouted. "Their family is quite superstitious. We haven't held any rituals for the birth of a child on Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think? Should I find someone to hold a ritual for Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Tang Xiaoru was amused. "She got a child in her old age and was too worried, so she wanted to have a funeral. Your family is healthy and plump during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why would you want to have a funeral? It's a waste of money."

"That's right." Yang Bingbing was immediately relieved. "30,000, right? Bang! Five!"

Ren Furong took a card and said weakly, "Actually, I'm thinking of doing a peach blossom ritual for myself. Don't you think my peach blossom luck is a little too bad?"

"Looking back on all the relationships I've had since puberty, almost none of them ended well. I'm starting to wonder if I was born to be a scumbag."

Tang Xiaoru gently touched her hand and consoled her with a smile, "You don't need to do any rituals. I think if you really want to change your luck in love, you might as well go to the temple and pray to the Buddha."

Ren Furong's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's a good idea. If you want to have a child, you can pray to Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth. If I want to pray for a good marriage and change my luck in love, can't I just go and pray to Yue Lao?"

"An Gang!" Chen Qingrong directly pushed down four cards and said, "It's useless to pray to Yue Lao for marriage. You should pray to the God of Wealth. These days, no money means no marriage."

……

After playing mahjong at Yang Bingbing's house until half past six, Chen Qingrong drove to Sun's house.

It was around seven forty when we arrived.

Ni Shengnan had already arrived.

Besides the two of them, there were a few other monks there.

Chen Qingrong thought to himself, what a great guy, this time they didn’t invite Maoshan monks, but directly invited monks. Uncle Sun and his wife had even gone to the extent of asking for blessings from both Buddha and Taoist priests for their second child.

The ritual began soon.

This ritual was simpler than the previous one. Chen Qingrong and the others also knelt on the cushions and recited scriptures in a low voice. As for the little Sun Niancheng, he was held in his mother's arms and was particularly quiet, not making a sound.

The ritual lasted for forty minutes and when Chen Qingrong stood up again, his legs were numb from kneeling.

After sending the monk away, Sun Dafu came to Chen Qingrong and said, "Xiao Chen, thank you for coming here so late. This is a red envelope for you. Shengnan, this is a red envelope for you."

Chen Qingrong quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Uncle Sun, I just came over to help you with a small favor, you don't need to give me a red envelope, how can I accept this?"

Sun Dafu stuffed the red envelope directly into his hand and said with a smile, "Take it, Xiao Chen. This is what the master told us just now. You and Shengnan each get 300 yuan. If you don't accept it, this ritual will not work."

After hearing what Sun Dafu said, Chen Qingrong put the red envelope in his pocket and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Thank you, Uncle Sun."

"You're too polite, Xiao-Chen."

Ni Shengnan also put the red envelope in his pocket.

Chen Qingrong then remembered and asked, "By the way, Uncle Sun, have you taken Niancheng to see Sun Cheng? He should also know that he has a younger brother."

Sun Dafu nodded with a smile, "We've taken him there. We went there with Shengnan two days ago. It's amazing to say that your aunt couldn't sleep well after giving birth to Niancheng. She would wake up from her dreams intermittently every night. But since she took Niancheng to see Chengcheng that day, this situation has never happened again."

"We asked the master, and he said that it was because Cheng Cheng urged us to bring Nian Cheng to meet him. After meeting his brother, Nian Cheng felt much more at ease."

Chen Qingrong was touched. "Old Sun must be so happy to see his brother is so cute. If he were alive, he would be a very good brother."

"Yeah." After this incident was over, Chen Qingrong stayed at the Sun family for a while before leaving with Ni Shengnan.

As they walked, he asked Ni Shengnan, "Didn't you say you would introduce someone to me tonight? You were so mysterious on the phone. Why are you still keeping it a secret?"

Ni Shengnan said a little embarrassedly, "He was going to come with me, but he felt it was inappropriate for him to come here, so he didn't come. I can only introduce him to you and Sister Xiaoru next time."

Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes, "Is this he you are talking about a man or a woman?"

Ni Shengnan smiled and said, "He is a man, but he is not in an ambiguous relationship with me. Brother Chen, please don't misunderstand me."

Chen Qingrong laughed and said, "It's okay. Even if I really have an ambiguous relationship with you, I will only wish you the best."

"It's really not an ambiguous relationship!" Ni Shengnan's eyes widened, and he quickly explained, "He and I are partners. He works at the headquarters of the milk tea shop I joined, and we get along very well. This time he stayed in Shanghai for a few more days, so I wanted to introduce him to you, Brother Chen. Besides working at the milk tea shop, he has a few small projects to complete, which can be cooperated with your company."

"In the end, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate for an outsider like him to come to our house, so he didn't come."

Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Actually, you don't need to explain so much. I really didn't think much about it."

"Brother Chen!" Ni Shengnan stamped his feet anxiously, snorted heavily, and turned his face away, "Humph! If I had known, I wouldn't have wanted to do a good deed and introduce him to you! You're so annoying!"

Chen Qingrong laughed a few times, then stopped smiling and said earnestly, "Shengnan, I still say the same thing, don't put yourself in those unwarranted moral shackles, just follow your heart."

Ni Shengnan's delicate body trembled.

Chen Qingrong patted her shoulder again, "I'll go home first. It's still quite cold tonight. Don't stand there like an idiot. Go home quickly. Good night."

After saying that, he left first.

"I'm not leaving, this is my home!"

Ni Shengnan suddenly shouted loudly.

Chen Qingrong did not stop, but just quickened his pace.

When he got home in the evening, baby Xiaoru was already home, and his mother-in-law was also there, busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, what delicious food are you making so late at night? It smells so good." Chen Qingrong said as soon as he entered the house.

Then start sitting down and changing your shoes.

Lin Yue turned around and smiled, "You're back, Xiao Chen. You have a good sense of smell. You can smell how fragrant the hairtail fish I fried is. Xiao Ru said it stinks. How could it possibly stink?"

Tang Xiaoru muttered, "It just smells a bit stinky. Anyway, I won't eat it. Mom, you and Chen Qingrong can eat it."

"Then I'll come and eat with mom. It seems I haven't eaten yet." Chen Qingrong walked to Tang Xiaoru.

Tang Xiaoru looked up at him, "Didn't the Sun family invite you to dinner?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head helplessly. "I thought I could have some food after I arrived, but when I got there I found out that Uncle Sun and the others had already eaten. However, although I didn't get to eat, I got a red envelope."

As he said that, he took out the red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Tang Xiaoru.

"Hey? There's a red envelope?" Tang Xiaoru took it and opened it impatiently, then she was a little disappointed, "Only three hundred yuan, um, a little less, I thought you would give a thousand yuan."

"That's the amount the master asked for. Uncle Sun is not a stingy person, and it's not too little. Three hundred yuan is enough for the two of us to have a simple hot pot."

"If you calculate it this way, it's really not a small amount."

After waiting for a while, Lin Yue brought the fried hairtail fish to the table.

When Chen Qingrong asked her why she had dinner so late, Lin Yue started complaining at a machine gun speed.

"It's all Old Tang's fault. He said he would take me to a cocktail party tonight, so I went there happily. But after that, someone started arguing and ended up fighting. The police arrived and took the people away, so the dinner part of the cocktail party was ruined. I was so angry that I pushed Old Tang away and came to your place first."

"It just so happened that I was craving for fish, and you two had hairtail in your refrigerator, so I fried some. Xiao Chen, come and try it and see if it tastes good."

"okay."

Chen Qingrong picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth. He immediately showed an expression of special enjoyment and pleasure. "Hmm~ The fish meat is so tender, as if it has been massaged hundreds of times by a chef with decades of experience. Although it is only a simple bite, I can still feel the impact of the fish meat when I chew it repeatedly. Mom, I have to say that your fish frying skills are really excellent."

"Hahaha."

Lin Yue suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

Chen Qingrong was completely confused.

How come I am so good at flattering someone?
Tang Xiaoru poked his arm at this time and rolled her eyes, "This fish was not taken out of our refrigerator. My mother just heated it up. Aren't you blowing it too carelessly?"

Chen Qingrong's face turned red immediately and he glared at Tang Xiaoru fiercely.

Depend on!
Then why didn’t you say it earlier?
Are you trying to make me look bad?

Fortunately, I am now a new son-in-law who doesn’t need to please my mother-in-law deliberately, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

After eating for a while, Tang Chengshan came to pick up Lin Yue.

"I knew you were coming to my daughter and son-in-law's place." Tang Chengshan sat at the dining table dissatisfiedly, "You should at least wait for me, why did you just leave without saying anything?"

Lin Yue glanced at him and said, "Aren't you staying here to chat with the boss? Why should I stay there? I might as well come back and accompany Xiaoru."

Tang Chengshan said awkwardly, "I did that to appease Lao Guan. Besides, your leaving like that made me seem like I ignored your feelings. I feel a little guilty about that."

Chen Qingrong suddenly interrupted, "Dad, if you feel guilty, just eat a few more bites of this hairtail fish. This is fried by mom herself. You should eat more to make mom happy."

"Really? Let me try it." Tang Chengshan said as he picked up Lin Yue's chopsticks, took a big bite of fish and put it into his mouth. Then he showed the same happy and enjoyable expression as Chen Qingrong. "Oh my god, oh my god, how can it be so delicious? You are worthy of being our Ah Yue. Your cooking skills are really great. It's a blessing for this fish to be fried like this by you!"

Lin Yue sneered twice, "Haha, you two really are the same, you are like biological children."

Tang Chengshan was stunned and said in confusion, "Ayue, what are you talking about? I didn't say it was not delicious. Why are you still being so sarcastic to me? Is it wrong for me to praise your cooking skills?"

Tang Xiaoru added weakly, "Dad, actually this fish was bought by Mom. She just heated it up. Chen Qingrong had already made the mistake of flattering too much. Why are you following suit?"

"What?" Tang Chengshan was stunned, then he subconsciously glared at Chen Qingrong and angrily cursed, "Chen Qingrong, you even betrayed your own father-in-law? Bastard, just wait, sooner or later I will deal with you!"

Chen Qingrong said rudely, "Dad, don't be angry. If we have to be embarrassed, let's be embarrassed together."

The more he talked, the angrier Tang Chengshan became.

OK OK.

After so many years of hunting geese, I was tricked today by a chick!

Chen Qingrong saw the rage in his father-in-law's eyes, so he decisively changed the subject, "Hey, Dad, I heard from Mom that you took her to a cocktail party tonight, and a fight broke out there? Is this true? Who was fighting with whom? This is too undignified. How can you fight in that kind of situation?"

For Chen Qingrong, although he didn't like attending cocktail parties, he also knew that it was a place for respectable people to socialize. Fighting in such a place was simply the behavior of a hooligan.

Tang Chengshan snorted and said, "Speaking of the people who fought, you all know them. One of them was Zhu Lan. Of course, she didn't start the fight. It was her assistant who fought with the others. However, she just acquiesced."

"Zhu Lan?"

The young couple was startled at the same time.

Tang Xiaoru even asked, "Why is she at the same party with you? And she even got into a fight with someone? Dad, who was the person who got into a fight with her assistant?"

Tang Chengshan said, "He is the owner of a leather factory. He brought his wife to attend a cocktail party tonight. Then his wife and Zhu Lan started arguing for some reason and ended up fighting. Anyway, now they have both been invited by the police for tea."

Chen Qingrong pouted, "We have dealt with Zhu Lan before. I always felt that Zhu Lan was a little bit mentally unstable. Now it seems that I was right. She is indeed mentally unstable."

"In any case, try not to have any contact with her in the future."

"We know this."

Whether it was Chen Qingrong or Tang Xiaoru, they both tacitly agreed to keep a certain distance from Zhu Lan.

The old couple Tang Chengshan stayed for a while and then went back to their home to rest.

Although Tang Xiaoru and the others asked them to stay overnight, the old couple still refused to agree and insisted on creating private space for Chen Qingrong and the others.

As soon as they left, Tang Xiaoru said angrily and amusedly, "I'm pregnant now, why would I need your private space?"

Chen Qingrong suddenly looked sad. "Xiao Ru, what you said makes me so sad. Although your belly is getting bigger now, we have only been married for less than two years. Do you no longer need me now?"

"No wonder I saw so many people online saying that women basically lose their feelings for each other after giving birth. You haven't even started giving birth yet, and you're already like this. I can't imagine how indifferent you'll be to me after you give birth."

Tang Xiaoru kicked him speechlessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are we talking about the same thing? Besides, who dares not to blanch me when I'm pregnant? I didn't stop you, did I?"

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, "I would like to, but I dare not. Besides, our son and daughter are both in your belly now. If we do something bad, I will always feel guilty."

"Just because they haven't been born yet, we can't treat them as non-human beings."

Tang Xiaoru snorted twice, "Then don't blame me. It's obviously you who is cowardly."

Chen Qingrong could only smile and didn't dare to argue.

There is no other way. I can only give in at this time. If I just want to vent my anger and do something bad with Tang Xiaoru on impulse, it will be easy to hurt the baby by mistake.

If you were a baby, you wouldn't want to be covered in raindrops as soon as you raised your head, right?
Chen Qingrong changed the subject and coaxed her to go to bed.

After lying down, Chen Qingrong received a WeChat message from Shui Ling.

"I will resign on New Year's Day, and I will hand over my QQ to the company. If you need me again, just send me a WeChat message."

Chen Qingrong couldn't help but frown after seeing this message, and replied, "Why are you quitting your job suddenly? Aren't the sales of my two books enough for you to make a living?"

Shui Ling, "That's not the case. The main reason is that I am only an editor in charge at my current website, and it is too difficult to get promoted. If other websites are willing to hire me as the editor-in-chief, I will definitely climb up."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "But what should I do after you leave? I have collaborated with you on two books, and we have a good understanding of each other. If I get a new editor, I won't be used to it."

Shui Ling said, "It's okay. You can create a new alias on our new website, or you can just switch jobs with your alias. Anyway, you haven't signed a lifetime contract with the current website, so you can switch jobs at any time. Wink."

Chen Qingrong understood now, "Not only do you want to leave, but you also want to poach me. Are you trying to set the stage for me in advance? Roll your eyes."

Shui Ling, "Then just tell me directly whether you will help me, your old friend, or not. You know, I need some results as a new official. Poor you, poor you."

Chen Qingrong, "Let's talk about it later. Let me think about it."

Shui Ling: "Then I'll take it as your agreement!"

Chen Qingrong didn't reply directly.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to change the website, because his die-hard fans are all on this website, and many readers are too lazy to switch to other websites after getting used to reading novels on a website.

After all, each website has a different way of registering an account and a different way of recharging. Some readers are simply not used to it. Chen Qingrong is very clear that if he changes the website, he will definitely lose some readers.

You don’t think that so-called die-hard fans are necessarily truly die-hard fans, right?

That's why Chen Qingrong was so hesitant.

In short, let's take it one step at a time.

Chen Qingrong put down his phone, turned around and hugged Tang Xiaoru, who was playing Candy Crush on her phone, and placed his hand on her chubby thigh in a dishonest manner.

Baby Xiaoru has indeed gained weight. She has more meat on her thighs than before, not to mention her belly.

Of course, Chen Qingrong didn't dare to say this directly to her face. Even though he had told Xiaoru baby countless times that plump women are sexier, Tang Xiaoru just couldn't accept that she had become fat.

Sometimes Chen Qingrong was speechless. Why did women always argue with him throughout their lives?

If you ask this question on Xiaohongshu, there will definitely be a lot of idiots who will answer you that it’s all social oppression and male oppression.

In fact, this is bullshit, they are just feminine.

The people who are most malicious towards women are always women.

They will also say things like “Whether we lose weight or put on makeup, it’s not for you men to see.” If it’s not for men to see, why do you put all the blame on men?

Why are you unwilling to admit that this is an internal problem among you women?
"Do you have any plans for New Year's Day? Do you want to go out and have some fun?" Chen Qingrong asked.

Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and said, "Didn't you check the weather forecast? It will rain and snow in the Magic City in the next twenty days. Where can we go to play? It's better for us to stay at home."

Chen Qingrong was shocked. "Oh my god, it's going to be like this for the next twenty days? No, why is the weather in Shanghai so bad this year? Is it really caused by global warming? Is the world really going to end?"

"Wake up, the world will end in 2012, and it has been thirteen years now!"

"Then, is there a possibility that the world has already been destroyed once in 2012? What if now the world has been reset?" Chen Qingrong paid tribute to Kennedy with a creative mind.

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "It's unlikely. If the world is reset, it should get better and better, but the current situation is getting worse and worse, so I think the real end of the world has not yet come."

Chen Qingrong was childish again, "What if tomorrow is the end of the world, and there is only one empty seat on the ship, would you choose to give it to me, or would you choose to get on board by yourself?"

"I got on the boat by myself and let the two children die with you. Are you satisfied? Yes, I am such a cold-blooded wife and mother." Tang Xiaoru was even proud.

Chen Qingrong suddenly burst into laughter.

Tang Xiaoru added, "Give employees a few more days off on New Year's Day instead of taking them off for a holiday. Also, we'll treat everyone to a meal and give out red envelopes and bonuses as usual. As for the annual meeting, we won't hold it this year. It's not convenient for me to celebrate with the people right now."

"Okay." Chen Qingrong agreed directly. "What about our world of two? How do you plan to celebrate?"

Tang Xiaoru blinked and said, "Shall we buy some fireworks?"

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and said, "If you want to set off fireworks in Shanghai, then we can only go to the suburbs, or go to my hometown. If you go to my hometown, you can set off fireworks to your heart's content all at once."

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "I just want to set it off in the city. Didn't the relevant departments say that the policy will be relaxed this year? Then we can go there with many other people to celebrate the New Year."

"In your current state, I dare not let you participate in group activities."

"Then we'll stay far away. Anyway, I'm going to set off fireworks in the city. Yes, during our New Year celebration, we'll set off fireworks downstairs in our new home. If you don't let us set off fireworks, Chen Qingrong, you'll also be responsible for taking care of this matter. Otherwise, hehe, after I unload the goods, don't think that I'll satisfy your perverted demands."

Tang Xiaoru began to threaten.

Chen Qingrong said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll go and consult about the situation when the time comes. Let's go to sleep first."

"You go to sleep first, wait for me to pass this level, I've been stuck on this level for several days, it's driving me crazy."

“Are you stuck in Candy Crush? Give it to me and I’ll help you pass it!”

Chen Qingrong grabbed the phone confidently, and ten minutes later, he was so angry that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Why is it so difficult?" Chen Qingrong gritted his teeth and suggested, "How about I buy a cheat online? What do you think?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes, "You want to cheat in Candy Crush? Do you want to listen to what you are talking about?"

The next day, Chen Qingrong had planned to spend the whole day at home with Tang Xiaoru, but he didn't expect Gao Qiang to call him and say that Fangfang had sent him a message and asked them to meet.

So at ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Qingrong and Gao Qiang met Fangfang again at the milk tea shop they had last time.

Gao Qiang was the one who skipped work. When he saw Chen Qingrong, he joked, "Old Chen, I'm here to do business. You can't deduct my bonus, right?"

Chen Qingrong curled his lips, "Do you still have bonuses to deduct?"

"what?"

When they saw Fangfang again, she was wearing a mask. She took it off after she sat in front of them. Chen Qingrong and the others both gasped.

There was an obvious redness and swelling on Fangfang's right cheek, which was obviously caused by a slap.

"Were you beaten by Xia Haishan?" Chen Qingrong asked directly.

Fangfang nodded helplessly, "Yes, not only on my face, but also on my butt. I feel a burning pain even when I sit on the chair now."

Chen Qingrong smiled playfully, "You two are quite good at having fun."

"It's all your fault, Mr. Chen!" Fangfang looked resentful. "I've already spread the news as you said. After Xia Haishan's wife found out about this, she went to his company and made a scene. She even broke Xia Haishan's arm. Xia Haishan was angry and did that to me last night, and then he lost control. You don't know how badly he cursed me last night. He cursed his wife's ancestors for 18 generations."

Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes. "What was the result? Did his wife want to divorce him? Can he still keep his company? What did he tell you?"

"The result is not bad. It is all in line with your plan, Mr. Chen."
