When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

"No, I can go back by myself." Su Xiaowan's tone was cold and her attitude was firm.

Nan Sicheng's face flashed with panic, and he hurriedly explained, "Miss Su, I didn't mean anything else. I just happened to be having dinner here with my friends tonight, and when I saw it was raining, I thought of sending you back."

"Mr. Nan, I'm already married, and I don't want my husband to misunderstand me, please understand."

Su Xiaowan's words were polite, but her tone clearly showed that she wanted to draw a line between herself and him.

It was raining heavily at the moment, so if she wanted to buy an umbrella she had to go across the street.

"How about this, I'll go across the street and buy you an umbrella. It's raining so hard right now, and you can't get over there. Wait for me."

As Nan Sicheng said this, the car turned around and went the other way.

Su Xiaowan ignored it and looked at the heavy rain, feeling a little anxious. It was already past eight o'clock.

If she doesn't go back, Old Man Xiao and Xixi will be worried about her.

After hesitating for a moment, she thought about going back in the rain, when she saw a car with flashing lights coming towards her not far away.

When she got closer, she saw the license plate. It was the car Xiao Beiguo usually drove.

The car pulled over, Xiao Beiguo rolled down the window, and said with a smile, "Why are you so late? Wait a minute, I'll come down with an umbrella to pick you up."

As he finished speaking, he took out his umbrella and got out of the car.

The moment Su Xiaowan saw Xiao Beiguo, her eyes became hot and she choked up and said, "When did you come back?"

"I just got home and Dad said you weren't back. I asked Nancheng and she said you might be in the store, so I came over."

Xiao Beiguo walked around to her side, took the bag from her naturally, held her hand and said, "Be careful, the rain is a bit heavy, don't get wet."

"Well, I'll just go back and take a hot bath later."

"How can that be possible? You can't get wet in this weather. If you don't take good care of your body, you'll be in pain everywhere when you turn around. What will you do?"

Su Xiaowan felt a little helpless. She watched Xiao Beiguo tilt the umbrella towards her, and her body was soaked.

"You're soaked."

"It's okay for me, a grown man, to get in the rain. Get in the car first."

Xiao Beiguo held her tightly in his arms to prevent her from getting wet by the rain.

Not far away, Nan Sicheng's car was parked by the side of the road. Looking at Su Xiaowan leaning happily in another man's arms, he felt very uncomfortable.

He thought that even if Su Xiaowan got married, the man she would marry would be very ordinary, but Xiao Beiguo looked extraordinary, at least not an ordinary worker.

Glancing at the umbrella on the passenger seat, Nan Sicheng had a bitter smile on his face.

Watching Su Xiaowan being escorted by Xiao Beiguo to the passenger seat, he walked around to the driver's seat, got in the car and drove away.

Su Xiaowan took a towel and wiped Xiao Beiguo's clothes. Looking at his tired appearance, she felt so distressed.

"Didn't you say it would take half a month? Why are you back so early?"

"Lin Dan has increased his orders, and I have signed two more big customers. I won't ask for too much for now, otherwise the factory will be in trouble."

"Brother Nancheng said that Lin Dan will open a new store here at the end of the month, so we have also found another store and it will be open for business in a few days."

"Nancheng also told me about this. She is in this industry, and as long as there is a market, she will definitely do it."

"We are connected to foreign trade here, so it is definitely the right choice for her to open it now. There will definitely be a lot of people crowding in here later."

Xiao Beiguo was not surprised by Lin Dan's behavior. Even if she didn't open her eyes now, she would definitely open her eyes in the near future.

"If she opens this shop now, she will become our competitor."

"She's not the only one who can do the business. Besides, we get the factory price, but she is different."

If Lin Dan really wanted to confront them, it would not do her any good.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Having not seen each other for a long time, Xiao Beiguo would glance at Su Xiaowan from time to time. They had been very busy these days and the two had hardly talked on the phone.

"I ate some bread. I'll eat more when I get back."

"Just eat something outside. It will be nine o'clock when we get home. You can't be hungry for too long."

Xiao Beiguo drove and looked outside, looking for a place to eat.

"Why don't we go eat at a roadside stall? I want to eat that."

Su Xiaowan saw pancakes being sold not far away, and they smelled delicious.

In her previous life, she would occasionally come to places like this alone to eat and relieve her mood.

"Okay, then eat these."

Xiao Beiguo found a place to park the car. Su Xiaowan had already gotten out of the car and found a seat.

Only then did I ask the boss to make some pancakes and cook two bowls of seafood noodles.

Xiao Beiguo came over and watched her eat the pancake. There were meat crumbs on the corners of her mouth, and he gently wiped them off for her.

"Why are you still like a child, eating everywhere?"

"I'm so hungry. You have no idea. The business in the store is really good today. Several of us are so busy that we can't stop working."

Su Xiaowan took a bite and finished her meal, then continued, "I found that our business here is all about old customers bringing new customers."

When she was busy today, she heard many people complaining that they were not brought here earlier.

"It proves that you have good vision."

Xiao Beiguo looked at her lovingly and distressedly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"If the store is short of staff, hire more. You have to take care of the factory and build a new store. Now you don't even have time to eat."

Su Xiaowan had a mouthful of stuff in her mouth and said vaguely, "It's just that I'm a little tired during this period. After this peak season, there won't be so many people buying clothes."

"Hiring more people will cost more money, and I don't plan to hire so many people for this store."

"Xiao Wan, you're right, but you can't use one person as two people."

"I've only been away for ten days and you've lost a lot of weight. If you keep doing this for a long time, your body won't be able to handle it."

"But even if we do find someone, not everyone can be trusted. It's hard to find a good worker now."

The staff for this store was hired by her personally, and they are pretty good, especially Zhao Xiaomei, who is really hardworking.

Xiao Beiguo felt helpless and distressed, "You can't do everything by yourself. The store over there will also need a lot of manpower in the future. At worst, you can just transfer the idle people over here."

"What you said does make sense. I'm also thinking of training Zhao Xiaomei here. She has a very flexible mind and is honest. She's a rare talent."

"Then you train them. As the business expands, more manpower will be needed. We can't do it all by ourselves. We have to learn to let go."

Xiao Beiguo hopes that Su Xiaowan can relax a little.

"Well, I'll arrange for the recruitment tomorrow."

After Su Xiaowan finished her pancakes, the seafood noodles were served. Smelling the fragrant noodles, she only felt even hungrier.

Just as I took a bite, someone next to me called out, "Miss Su, do you mind sharing a table?"

Nan Sicheng just stood between her and Xiao Beiguo, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Xiao Wan, who is this person?" Xiao Beiguo was very surprised.
