We agreed to divorce at the expiration date, why do you regret it, Mr. Fu?

"mom."

Chen Zhuo frowned. "What's the point of saying it's not fatal? It's benign and can be cured."

"Yes," Fan Xiaolin led Xie Baoping to the hotel. "Auntie, you've come home to Jincheng. Don't worry about anything. Chen Zhuo and I will arrange everything for you."

Xie Baoping wiped her tears and nodded.

Fan Xiaolin booked a suite, Chen Zhuo slept on the sofa outside, and Xie Baoping slept in the bedroom.

"Auntie, I'll be going back first," Fan Xiaolin said to Xie Baoping after helping her pack up. "I'll come over after get off work tomorrow. If you have anything, just talk to Chen Zhuo."

Xie Baoping pushed Chen Zhuo and urged, "Go and see the girl off to her doorstep."

Chen Zhuo nodded and left with Fan Xiaolin.

Out of the hotel building.

The night wind blows and the lights are bright.

The breeze brings the warmth of spring and relieves the depressed mood.

Chen Zhuo pulled Fan Xiaolin to the side of the road. Fan Xiaolin did not take a taxi directly, but sat on the flower bed on the side of the road.

"Did you bring a cigarette?" She held out her hand. "Give me one. I'm feeling a bit sleepy, and I have to finish my manuscript when I get home tonight."

Chen Zhuo nodded and took out a pack of Camel from his pocket and gave it to her, "Smoke slowly."

He sat next to Fan Xiaolin, staring at the busy street in a daze.

Xie Baoping discovered something was wrong a day ago.

At that time, Chen Zhuo was still working on the road. Xie Baoping called him and said that she had a stomachache and couldn't stand up.

Chen Zhuo originally wanted to ask a few friends to go, but he felt that those big and strong men would not take good care of Xie Baoping. After thinking it over, he found Fan Xiaolin.

Fan Xiaolin was just finishing an interview and preparing to go home. After receiving the call, she turned around and drove to Jinghai, arriving in less than half an hour.

Seeing that Xie Baoping was in a very bad condition, she booked a hotel overnight without saying a word and brought her to Jincheng the next day.

"Auntie's illness won't be cured in ten days or half a month," Fan Xiaolin said, puffing on a cigarette. "You'd better not take on too many jobs. If we're both busy, Auntie will be so lonely."

Chen Zhuo, on the other hand, comforted her, "I was planning to quit my job in the fleet this month. It's okay if I don't work anymore."

"This month?" Fan Xiaolin was surprised. "No, you have to keep some money. If you quit, you will lose all your income."

Chen Zhuo said, "I've already found this and it's being repaired at the Jincheng 4S shop."

After saying that, he handed the letter of passing the interview to Fan Xiaolin.

"Chengxi District CBD Mercedes-Benz Center, wow, you're so good!" Fan Xiaolin's mood brightened when she saw him. She patted him on the shoulder and asked, "When did you find it?"

"After I went to your house last time," Chen Zhuo said, "I told my uncle and aunt that I would take care of you, so I have to do what I said. How can I accompany you if I'm on the road every day?"

Fan Xiaolin's breathing was slightly choked.

Chen Zhuo's unconditional devotion to her made her feel jealous.

This man had obviously experienced so many misfortunes and seen so many unbearable people and things, but he still had a pure heart for her and gave and accompanied her without reservation.

If she let down such a person, she would beat herself to death.

"Okay, don't work too hard now," Fan Xiaolin said, thinking of this. "Our top priority is to cure Auntie's illness first. In the meantime, if there's anything you need my help with or anything you want me to do, just let me know."

Chen Zhuo nodded and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he cautiously sat down next to Fan Xiaolin, stretched out his hand, and gently held her in his arms.

At first, Fan Xiaolin was a little unnatural, but when she felt Chen Zhuo's hot body, she couldn't help but hug him.

The two have been dating for a long time, but they have had very little physical contact.

There always seems to be an indescribable wall between us.

Until now, this wall has not been completely demolished.

"Okay, stop hugging me," Fan Xiaolin felt that Chen Zhuo's emotions were a little out of control tonight, as if he had been suppressing something. "The cigarette is almost finished, be careful not to burn you."

Only then did Chen Zhuo reluctantly let her go.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Forty minutes later.

The car stopped downstairs of Fan Xiaolin's house.

Chen Zhuo watched her go upstairs until the lights in her house came on, then he turned and left.

On this side, Fan Xiaolin just returned home and received a video call from Ye Hang.

"Mom?" She looked at Ye Hang curiously, "Why did you think of calling me so late at night?"

Ye Hang adjusted her glasses and looked at Fan Xiaolin for a moment. "You just got home? Are you with that Chen Zhuo?"

Seeing her mother's unfriendly look, Fan Xiaolin hesitated.

Since she and Chen Zhuo confirmed their relationship, her parents have not been very supportive.

Especially Ye Hang, she openly opposed it.

"No," Fan Xiaolin shook her head. "I'm in a meeting and working overtime at the station."

"Come on," Ye Hang pointed at his face. "Your mother dated eight or ten men when she was young. The look in this woman's eyes when she just broke up with her lover is worlds apart from the look she gives when she just got off work."

Is it so obvious?

Fan Xiaolin glanced at the mirror in surprise.

She recently got a Korean-style Trojan horse perm, and the ends of her hair are slightly curled to her neck, forming a natural curve, making her look like a female career elite in Korean dramas.

But just now, she was hugging and clinging to Chen Zhuo, her curly hair was slightly messy, and she had a hint of ambiguous laziness. She was completely different from the usually sharp chief reporter.

"Uh......"

Fan Xiaolin was speechless.

"Son, let me tell you something," Ye Hang paused and continued, "I don't object to you dating that boy, but it's your first time, so maybe you'll get tired of each other and break up."

"Mom, what do you mean?" Fan Xiaolin said, her joking expression subsiding. "Just say what you want to say. Let's not beat around the bush."

Ye Hang sighed, "Over the past few days, your father and I have looked into Xiao Chen's background. He is indeed a kind child, but you two are not a good match."

"Why?" Fan Xiaolin frowned. "Whether we're compatible or not can only be known through getting to know each other. We've only known each other for a few months, not even two hundred days in total!"

Ye Hang shook his head. "I don't object to you dating, but I think you shouldn't settle down with him too quickly. His circle is full of all kinds of people, including bad people. We are intellectuals, and our circle is completely different. You two will have nothing in common."

"We are of similar age and have similar personalities, so why don't we have a common language?"

"That's different. I'm talking about deep communication, not just a relationship of eating, drinking and eating."

Ye Hang's words were like a bucket of cold water, completely freezing Fan Xiaolin's already depressed mood tonight.

Ye Hang added, "A blessed girl won't marry an unblessed family. You're destined to enjoy a life of luxury. His family is suffering too much. Look at your best friend Zhixia, she's so good at finding a partner!"
