Wu Mingzheng wanted to try again, saying, "There should be time to have a cup of coffee, we're from the same hometown."

"Yijun and I are childhood friends, and for the sake of your two older brothers, I know you wouldn't refuse even this small favor."

Zhizhi got a headache as soon as she heard Wu Mingzheng bring up old stories, especially since it involved saving face. She felt uneasy and didn't know why, but she just felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, I still have to go back to see the kids. You know how it is for us women: once we get married, we don't have jobs and can only be housewives. There are so many chores to deal with at home, and we don't even have time to ourselves."

Zhizhi kept giving him meaningful glances, her whole demeanor conveying the message, "You know what I mean."

Sure enough, Wu Mingzheng quickly nodded, "Hehe, that makes sense."

The thought that Dong Yizhi's life would definitely be difficult after breaking up with him made him realize how troublesome it was.

He was still a little smug. Sure enough, no other man treated Yizhi as well as he did. It was just a pity that Yizhi didn't listen to his advice back then.

Looking at Dong Yizhi, Wu Mingzheng couldn't help but start nagging, "That's why I say, when we out-of-towners find local partners, we have to be financially independent, otherwise we'll have to live at their mercy..."

Zhizhi couldn't help but roll her eyes as she listened to Wu Mingzheng's incessant chatter.

She just said it casually, and he actually took it seriously...

Finally, Zhizhi couldn't hold back any longer, raised her hand to check the time, and indicated that she had something urgent to do.

Before he could finish speaking, he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

As for drinking coffee and chatting, Zhizhi knows without even thinking what he wants to talk about—he just wants to show off his current achievements.

As for his achievements, Zhizhi was too lazy to listen. She herself had worked her way up from the bottom, so how could she not understand Wu Mingzheng's little schemes?

Zhizhi's show of weakness, coupled with Wu Mingzheng's lecture, made Zhizhi even more certain that he just wanted to show off his efforts and rewards in front of her, and then see her regretful expression when she left him.

Looking at Zhizhi's slender back, Wu Mingzheng couldn't help but murmur to himself with heartache: "Sure enough, Zhizhi has lost a lot of weight since leaving me. She must be unhappy in her marriage and not cherished by her husband."

If only Zhi Neng had been more obedient back then, she'd have a nanny to wait on her now, living the life of a wealthy lady, and wouldn't have to be bothered by these household chores.

Finally, Wu Mingzheng sighed, "Indeed, making the right choice is very important."

When Wu Mingzheng returned home after finishing his errands, he saw Ye Jiajia coming back from a shopping spree at the mall again, and couldn't help but nag, "Jiajia, you need to be more careful with your money. It's not easy for a grown man like me to earn money..."

Ye Jiajia was speechless. She thought to herself, "It's already started." She impatiently interrupted him, "Alright, alright, why are you so long-winded, like an old woman?"

Ye Jiajia was speechless. She never knew that a grown man could be so petty.

He said that as long as it fills his stomach, it's fine, don't buy anything too expensive; he said that as long as there are many styles of clothes, it's fine, don't buy anything too expensive; he said that it's not safe to wear such expensive things, so it's better not to buy anything at all.

The two men had completely different lifestyles, and Ye Jiajia always felt a headache whenever she saw her husband.

If it weren't for his abilities, and the fact that she had some feelings for him, and that he wasn't favored by her uncle, she would have broken up with him long ago.

After much arguing, the two parted on bad terms.

……

Looking at Zhizhi's side, as soon as she got home, she saw Shi Tingfeng sitting in the living room.

Zhizhi looked at Shi Tingfeng, who had become more confident and composed due to his great economic success, and realized that he was very different from before.

He used to frequent construction sites, where he got tanned dark by the sun and didn't care much about his clothes, making him look quite rough.

Now, she's changed a lot. She's full of confidence, steady and composed, and doesn't joke around as much anymore. Even her clothes are styled by a professional. Her overall demeanor has reached a whole new level.

However, the moment he saw Zhizhi, his eyes softened immediately. When Zhizhi walked over, he quickly handed her the peeled fruit.

"Try these apples and pears, they're very sweet!"

When Shi Tingfeng returned home and didn't see his wife, he was initially a little disappointed. But now that he saw her, he couldn't help but hug her tightly.

Ever since Zhizhi returned from Xincheng, Shi Tingfeng has been like someone suffering from skin hunger, wanting to stick to her all the time.

Zhizhi has a rather soft and sweet personality, so she is quite accommodating to the strong possessiveness that others exhibit.

If someone really can't stand it, they won't say it out loud; they'll just secretly hide away.

Shi Tingfeng held his wife tightly in his arms and took a deep, contented breath.

Since getting married, he has never been separated from Zhizhi for so long. Now he is like someone suffering from skin hunger, and he doesn't want to be apart from her for even a moment.

"Honey, will you come to work with me tomorrow?"

Zhizhi looked at Shi Tingfeng with a horrified expression, "You actually want me to go to work? Do I look like someone who would go to work?"

"You don't think I'm too free, so you want me to go to work, do you?" Zhizhi gave him a "How could you do this?" look.

Zhizhi's pert bottom was lightly patted by Shi Tingfeng with a "smack," and Zhizhi immediately slapped him back. Although she didn't hit his face, she hit the man's chest, but it didn't hurt at all.

But Shi Tingfeng was very surprised. Why would Zhizhi have such a big reaction?

Zhizhi wouldn't tolerate him. A man's hand can't be slapped so easily; if there's a first time, there will be a second.

Seeing Shi Tingfeng's expression, Zhizhi pretended to be fierce and said, "Who told you to hit me? Then I'm definitely going to hit you back."

"I just touched you lightly, how did that become hitting you? Your reaction is way too much."

Zhizhi disagreed, and retorted confidently, "Hmph~ If I don't react much this time, what if you do it again next time? You'll eventually start abusing me."

Shi Tingfeng was helpless and could only affectionately kiss his wife's little face, "Your temper is getting bigger and bigger, I can't even touch you."

Zhizhi didn't argue back; it just wouldn't work. Looking around at how quiet the house was today, she wondered, "Aren't my mother-in-law and the kids home?"

"Yeah, they're not here. They all went out to play. I heard there's some kind of event at some square today. They're going to join in the fun, so I went with them."

"It's just the two of us at home today, how about we do something exciting?"

Upon hearing this, Zhizhi immediately perked up, staring at her husband with a mischievous grin, "What kind of exciting thing do you want to do?"

"No, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve now, where did you learn them?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Tingfeng's heart skipped a beat for no reason, but he quickly regained his composure and chuckled, "Where would I have the chance to learn? Haven't I been practicing on you all along?"

The two were flirting when Zhizhi's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was "Brother A" calling. Before Zhizhi could even process who "Brother A" was in the contact's message, she realized that he was someone else.

He answered the phone…
