Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

“What are you doing standing there? Go sit down.”

The pot on the stove started bubbling, and Huo Zheng asked again:

"Where's the rice? The water's boiling."

Bai Zhenzhu leaned against the door frame without moving, and pointed to the cabinet next to her:

"under."

Looking at Huo Zheng, he said again:

“My mom and the others aren’t coming back for dinner. There’s too much water. Let’s pour some into the kettle. That’s enough for three people.”

Huo Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Fill the kettle to the brim; there's just enough left to make porridge.

He put the kettle down and then washed some rice and put it into the pot.

Seeing that there were mung beans in the cupboard, I washed some more and threw them in.

Bai Zhenzhu watched him busy himself, her eyes softening little by little.

Aside from her family, she had never been cared for like this before.

Huo Zheng wore a short-sleeved shirt today, tucked into his trousers, and his back view was tall and straight.

He gradually became a part of her life.

The key point is that she felt very peaceful and enjoyed the moment.

Huo Zheng was about to continue picking green beans, but the gaze behind him was simply too much for him to bear.

He sighed:

"Xiaobai, you forced me to do this."

After saying that, he walked over.

Bai Zhenzhu looked up at him, then naturally tilted her head back to catch his lips as they fell.

Huo Zheng was stunned, his eyes filled with wild joy.

He awkwardly pressed his lips against hers, not daring to move for a moment.

Until his lean waist was wrapped around her soft arms, he seemed to suddenly understand, pulling her into his embrace and kissing her deeply.

Summer clothes are very thin.

The two, who appeared calm and collected, were actually very nervous.

Their intense heartbeats suddenly synchronized, pounding heavily against each other's chests.

Happiness came somewhat suddenly, and Huo Zheng was filled with disbelief.

He released Bai Zhenzhu's lips, his eyes filled with joy:

"Xiaobai, you have me in your heart too."

Bai Zhenzhu nodded:

"Yes."

Huo Zheng almost jumped up, but fortunately he had been calm and experienced since childhood. Even though he was so happy that he wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate, he remained very restrained.

"I was even mentally prepared for a long battle, but I didn't expect you..."

Looking into Bai Zhenzhu's gentle yet resolute eyes, Huo Zheng felt a tightness in his throat and couldn't say anything. He then held her head and kissed her again.

Although it's not under his cherry tree, the kitchen is quite nice.

Looking at the face so close to hers, Bai Zhenzhu felt that this person suited her in every way, except that his kissing skills needed improvement.

He sucked until her lips hurt.

When the kiss ended, Huo Zheng's ears were bright red.

Seeing that Bai Zhenzhu's lips were wet, he quickly wiped them with his hand.

Forcing himself to remain calm, his voice was hoarse:

"Go sit down, don't disturb my cooking."

Bai Zhenzhu suppressed a laugh:

"Ok."

Seeing that she had really left, Huo Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then, with a relaxed expression, she went back to washing vegetables and cooking.

Bai Zhenzhu pondered it for a moment.

It's still the early stages of urban development, and land is still very cheap.

Although land in the Chengdong Industrial Zone is a bit more expensive than in other places, she can still afford to buy 20 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares).

With policy support, loan interest rates are also lower.

This way, we can keep some working capital on hand, and the factory can be built as soon as possible.

Huo Zheng quickly picked and washed the vegetables, and was just waiting for the porridge to be ready to cook the vegetables.

Seeing Bai Zhenzhu writing and drawing there, he came over.

He sat down next to Bai Zhenzhu and naturally put his right arm around her waist.

Bai Zhenzhu's body stiffened for a moment.

She thought she was always a pro in front of Huo Zheng, but she never expected that men are naturally inclined to take advantage of her.

"What to write?"

"Just writing this down. I'm thinking about what products my factory should make. If we only make hot pot base, it's too limiting. Besides Chengdu, I don't know if people from other provinces would eat it."

Huo Zheng looked at her:

"People from other provinces don't eat it because they don't know it. Once you open a hot pot restaurant there, they'll know."

He chuckled as he spoke:

"Mr. Bai, isn't your ambition to open delicious restaurants all over the country?"

White Pearl was stunned.

She used to be the one making empty promises to others, but now it's Huo Zheng's turn to make empty promises to her.

Nationwide?

He really dares to think.

She hasn't even driven over to Chengdu yet.

Seeing her stunned, Huo Zheng leaned in and kissed her.

Bai Zhenzhu's pupils widened. This guy...

Huo Zheng continued:

“Our electronics stores and your hot pot and braised meat shops can easily be opened all over the country.”

Bai Zhenzhu took a sip of water to calm her nerves.

After her rebirth, her biggest wish is to earn more money, raise Shuo Shuo well, and bring a good life to her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law.

Having died once, she had nothing to fear and dared to think and act.

Previously, his biggest ambition was simply to open a factory in Chengdu and turn his hot pot and braised meat restaurants into a chain.

The whole country?

Why not?

Once the Chengdu branch opens, we can definitely open hot pot restaurants in the capital and Shanghai.

White Pearl slowly nodded:

"Yes, they're all over the country."

Huo Zheng absolutely loved her confident and composed demeanor.

I couldn't resist doing something sneaky again.

Grasp Bai Zhenzhu's hand and squeeze it:

"Xiao Bai, we've already kissed, when are you going to give me a proper status?"

Bai Zhenzhu raised an eyebrow at him:

"Is Mr. Huo in a hurry?"

Huo Zheng kept smiling, his lips unable to be suppressed.

"Don't rush me, and don't feel pressured. I don't mean to pressure you."

Bai Zhenzhu looked at him:

"What if I don't plan to get married for the time being?"

Huo Zheng did not hesitate:

"Then I'll wait."

He suddenly realized that Bai Zhenzhu probably still had reservations about marriage, and quickly said:

"It's my fault for being too impatient. It's okay, I'll wait however long it takes."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Her and Shuo Shuo's lives have been reshuffled, and a brand new future awaits them. Bai Zhenzhu doesn't want to miss out on someone who truly loves her because of her past life.

Moreover, she now has the cost and courage to try and fail.

Feelings are no longer the most important thing to her, but since the person has been brought to her, she naturally doesn't want to let go.

Thinking this way, Bai Zhenzhu felt more at ease:

"Then Mr. Huo, please continue to perform well."

Huo Zheng glanced at the clock on the wall:

"I'll go cook."

Since Li Xiufen and the others weren't coming back for dinner, Huo Zheng only stir-fried twice-cooked pork, sautéed green beans, and heated up seven steamed buns.

Set aside some of the vegetables and steamed buns for Liu Huiying first.

They hadn't eaten well at noon, and now they were both hungry.

He didn't let Bai Zhenzhu do anything; he served the rice and dishes and personally handed the chopsticks to her.

Huo Zheng had only ever cooked shrimp in the courtyard house before, but I didn't expect his skills to be so good. Both of these dishes were very delicious.

他 说:

“I also worked in the mess hall. My dad deliberately sent me there for three months, saying he couldn’t let me grow up to be a spoiled brat who couldn’t do anything.”

Bai Zhenzhu was somewhat surprised:

"Is Uncle Huo that strict?"

Huo Zheng laughed:

"Without his strictness, I wouldn't have been able to join the special forces later."

He lowered his eyes and drank his porridge, his heart already much calmer.
