Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

To make everything fall into place, Zhou Xinyao approached Li Bing.

However, Li Bing didn't understand Zhou Xinyao's request. He couldn't understand why Zhou Xinyao insisted on going back to the old house from his home instead of telling Bai Yunchuan that she was staying in a hotel.

"Sister Zhou, I think you should just have your husband pick you up from the hotel and take you home. Isn't it redundant for you to come all this way?"

Li Bing expressed his doubts.

During the phone call, Zhou Xinyao let out a long sigh.

"Li Bing, please help me this time. It's a very simple matter. I'm leaving tomorrow."

“I didn’t want your brother-in-law to know that I was lying to him. When I left the old house, I said I wanted to stay at your house, but I haven’t told your brother-in-law that I went to stay at a hotel.”

“If he finds out that I stayed in a hotel for a long time without telling him, he will definitely get angry with me again and say that I hid it from him.”

Zhou Xinyao truthfully expressed her concerns. After Xiao Song's brainwashing, the idea that she was afraid Bai Yunchuan would be angry took deep root in Zhou Xinyao's heart.

Li Bing listened to everything with a frown, his eyes widening in complete disbelief.

Zhou Xinyao and Bai Yunchuan are husband and wife. As husband and wife, they are one. So why talk about whether they are angry or not?

Moreover, given Bai Yunchuan's personality, even if Zhou Xinyao made a huge mistake, he would definitely forgive her for everything.

Li Bing cautiously tried to persuade Zhou Xinyao to change her mind about coming to stay at his home.

"Sister Zhou, shouldn't you think about this carefully? I'm the only man in my family right now. If you come and stay at my house by yourself, it will be very bad for your reputation. I think you should tell your brother-in-law the truth."

Despite Li Bing's patient persuasion, Zhou Xinyao remained unmoved and steadfast in her previous decision.

Li Bing was having a real headache. He would welcome Zhou Xinyao if she brought her child or Xiao Song with her.

But now Zhou Xinyao's requirement is that he stays at Li Ming's house alone for one day.

Even though it's just for one day, if a man and a woman living alone under one roof were to be found out by someone with ulterior motives, strange rumors might spread.

Li Bing considered himself a gentleman, but he couldn't be sure what kind of woman Zhou Xinyao was.

If something unexpected happens, then there will be no way to save it.

"Sister Zhou, you should just forget about it. If you're too embarrassed to ask your brother-in-law, I'll speak to him for you. I promise he won't be angry with you. Have him pick you up from the hotel tomorrow."

Li Bing did not believe at all that Zhou Xinyao's failure to tell Bai Yunchuan about staying in a hotel was some major issue that needed to be concealed.

If Li Bing were Bai Yunchuan, he would definitely be even happier that Zhou Xinyao was staying at the hotel, even if he was told the time was a bit late.

Zhou Xinyao was unaware of what Li Bing was thinking. She simply assumed that Li Bing didn't want to help her, and her tone was slightly angry.

"Li Bing, please help me this once. If I ever have any new collaborations in the future, I will definitely come to you."

"This matter was discussed by Xiao Song and me. It was Xiao Song's suggestion that I stay at your house for one night. Please help me out of respect for Xiao Song. This time is fine too."

In the end, Zhou Xinyao had no choice but to bring up Xiao Song.

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Song," Li Bing could only manage a wry smile.

Even though Xiao Song has already completely rejected Li Bing, why is Xiao Song still trying to drag Li Bing into this?

Li Bing couldn't understand what Xiao Song was thinking, and muttered to himself: "Women's hearts are really hard to understand."

Since Zhou Xinyao had already brought up Xiao Song, Li Bing sighed and had no choice but to agree to Zhou Xinyao's request.

"Okay, Sister Zhou, then pack your luggage and come to my house. I'll make room for you in bed, and then your husband can come pick you up tomorrow."

Zhou Xinyao was overjoyed to receive Li Bing's consent.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xinyao quickly packed her luggage. The problems at the company had already been handed over to Zhao Tianyou to handle, so there was no need to pay much attention to them.

Without Bai Yuechen by her side, Zhou Xinyao had very little luggage and finished packing quickly.

Out of gentlemanly conduct, Li Bing took the initiative to come to the hotel to help Zhou Xinyao carry her luggage to her home.

"Sister Zhou, you can stay in the bed tonight, I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Zhou Xinyao nodded. Li Bing's home wasn't in great shape right now, but it was still manageable.

Afterwards, the two ate and played on their phones as normal as good friends. Zhou Xinyao was looking forward to Bai Yunchuan coming here the next day to pick her up and take her back to the old house.

Zhou Xinyao's situation has stabilized, but Bai Yunchuan is listening to Xiao Song's message.

Still in the study, Xiao Song looked at Bai Yunchuan with longing and said in a sweet voice.

“Mr. Bai, Madam, she asked me to tell you that you should go to Li Bing’s house to pick her up tomorrow. She wants to go back to the old house.”

Upon hearing Xiao Song's message, Bai Yunchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but suppressed his inner joy without showing any emotion.

But what Xiao Song said next caused Bai Yunchuan's mood to plummet instantly, and his face turned ashen.

"Sir, Madam also said that if you don't pick her up tomorrow, she will never go back to the old house again and will live in Li Bing's house for the rest of her life."

The latter statement was a lie that Xiao Song deliberately fabricated to cause Bai Yunchuan to misunderstand Zhou Xinyao.

During this time, Xiao Song did not mention Zhou Xinyao staying at the hotel at all.

Bai Yunchuan slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice.

"Heh, does that mean if I don't go to pick him up, he can't come back on his own? What kind of logic is that?"

At first, Bai Yunchuan did want to go to Li Bing's house to bring Zhou Xinyao back, but after hearing Zhou Xinyao's additional explanation, his desire to bring her back instantly turned into some resistance.

Xiao Song secretly curled the corners of her lips, a deep glint flashing in her eyes, and continued to speak in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Madam has probably been staying with Li Bing for too long. She wants to go back to the old house, but she's too embarrassed to ask you for it. Sigh, Madam has such a proud and stubborn temper."

"Now that the young master and I have returned to our hometown, Madam is all alone. It's a pity that a man and a woman are alone in a room. I think you should bring Madam back as soon as possible."

"If other outsiders found out, it would be unacceptable for a CEO's wife to live in a man's house."

Xiao Song's words became increasingly outrageous, causing Bai Yunchuan's brows to furrow into a deep frown.

"Hurry up and bring your wife back, otherwise there's an idiom that goes something like, 'familiarity breeds fondness.'"

Xiao Song didn't dare to continue, leaving Bai Yunchuan with endless imagination after a brief silence.
