Han Ze was holding a pillow and an air-conditioning quilt, looking at Luo Xinting with an apologetic look, his brows locked into a “川” shape, and said: “Xinting, I plan to sleep in the guest room tonight, and wait until Lili’s mother and I divorce, then move back. You’ll have to put up with it for a while, but after all the hard work, we’ll enjoy the sweetness. Once we get the marriage certificate, it will be legitimate.”
Legitimate! Who wants to be a mistress if it’s legitimate.
She dreamed of being legitimate. Luo Xinting said aggrievedly: “Husband, let’s move to the guest room tomorrow. That woman doesn’t know whether we live together or not. We’re just pretending to be together. There’s no need to care so much.”
Han Ze turned around and looked at Luo Xinting in disbelief: “Xinting, you know best what kind of person I am. Why would I pretend to be together for others to see? I know you feel wronged for doing this, but whenever I think of divorcing Lili’s mother, I feel guilty towards her. After all, Lili’s mother and I haven’t divorced yet. If I sleep in the same bed with you again, I can’t get over it. ”
Luo Xinting looked at him and said nothing. She mocked him in her heart. In the past, you had so many lovers taking turns sleeping with you. Your wife at home couldn’t see you all year round, and you didn’t feel guilty. Now that you propose a divorce, you tell her that you feel guilty towards your wife at home. Don’t you think it’s too late?
Seeing that she didn’t say a word, Han Ze put the pillow and air-conditioning quilt on the bed and sighed, “If you don’t want to, forget it…”
Luo Xinting was happy and a little proud. What original wife? She is still important in the eyes of this man.
Han Ze didn’t see her expression, climbed onto the bed, and said with great regret, “Since you don’t want to, I will mention the divorce to Lili’s mother later.”
“What?”
Luo Xinting’s whole body froze. She knelt on the bed, looking at the man who lay down again, and asked in disbelief, “Husband, you, you mean you don’t plan to divorce? ”
How can this be possible? She is still waiting to be converted to a regular employee.
Han Ze opened his eyes, put his hands on the back of his head, and said, “I know you don’t want me to move to the guest room. If that’s the case, forget it. Lili’s mother and I are separated anyway, so it doesn’t make any difference whether we get a divorce certificate or not. Otherwise, I will feel guilty towards her and let you suffer.”
How could it not make any difference? She wished he could get a divorce soon.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in her heart, forced a smile, and said, “Husband, we live together every day, and suddenly you have to move to the company. You have to sleep in the guest room tonight. There is one less person on the bed, I’m not used to it, and I can’t bear to leave you. But for the sake of the two children and for you, I am willing to suffer a little grievance temporarily.”
Han Ze was very moved, with a smile on his face. He looked at her with satisfaction and said, “Xinting, I knew you were the best and understood me the most. Unlike Lili’s mother, who plays mahjong every day and never asks me. She only thinks of me when she has no money. In her eyes, I am not a husband, but an ATM.”
Luo Xinting said, “I like you as a person, so of course I consider everything for you.”
Han Ze was even more moved: “Thank you, Xinting, I’m going to the guest room! Don’t worry, I will compensate you for all the grievances you have suffered in the future.”
After saying that, he sat up and went to the guest room with a pillow and air-conditioning quilt.
Luo Xinting: “……”
Luo Xinting sat slumped on the bed and laughed at herself. Doesn’t she know this man’s temper best? What’s so sad? Think about the poor days when she was frugal to pay the rent, and she didn’t even dare to buy a decent piece of clothing, for fear that the money would run out and she would have no money to eat. Now, she lives in a villa, drives a luxury car, wears branded clothes, eats delicacies from land and sea, and lives a luxurious life every day. Isn’t this what she pursues? Why is she not satisfied? Why does she want love?
…
Han Ze sat on the bed in the guest room, opened the plot, and carefully studied the information of the original body.
The original body was a rural person. After graduating from high school, he fell in love with Li Manmei from the same village. The original body was tall and handsome, and had the temperament of a melancholy little prince. Many girls in the village were particularly fascinated by this type of boy at that time. Many girls liked him. It must be said that Li Manmei was surprised and proud to be pursued by the most beautiful original body in the village. So many people like Han Ze, but Han Ze only likes her. How can she not be proud?
In the love field, the original body does not need to be clever. He just needs to look at the girl he likes affectionately, and the girl will be fascinated by him. Li Manmei is no exception. After a few days, she agreed to date the original body. After two months together, the two lived together. Because they did not reach the legal age, they did not get a marriage certificate. They just held a banquet of a few tables and were considered married.
After marriage, the couple worked hard in the provincial capital. The original body worked as a laborer on the construction site, and Li Manmei found a job washing dishes and cooking in the canteen of the construction site. The couple worked, ate and lived together, and lived a sweet life.
Although the original body graduated from high school and was a playboy, he had some real skills. On the construction site, he could understand the architectural drawings that others could not understand. He was appreciated by his superiors and was promoted in a short time to become a small supervisor on the construction site.
After being a small supervisor for a while, he had some spare money and met many people. He began to take jobs privately and became a small contractor. When the small contractor was doing well, his eldest daughter Han Xingli was born. When Li Manmei was in confinement, a young girl outside took advantage of the opportunity and the original body cheated for the first time.
At that time, he and Li Manmei were in love, and Li Manmei was in confinement, but he had close contact with another woman. He felt sorry for Li Manmei and the young girl. He thought that it was the first time that the girl was with him, and the two of them slept together, which was completely accidental.
He felt that he had defiled the girl’s chastity, and when Li Manmei didn’t know, he secretly took care of the girl. After a long time, the two rolled together again. When the youngest son, Han Xingfan, was born, the girl was pregnant. The original body was frightened and showed some behavior when he returned home. The careful Li Manmei noticed something.
Li Manmei never expected that the man would cheat and make another woman pregnant. She only felt the pain of heartbreak. After the pain, looking at the hungry young son and the daughter who was less than three years old, she seemed to mature in an instant. She gritted her teeth and endured the matter. She even took the girl to have an abortion and took care of her during the confinement period. When the girl was out of the confinement period, she gave her money to send her away.
His wife’s understanding made the original body honest for a while. He put his mind on work. He opened a company and had more social events. He relapsed and lingered among various women. Li Manmei had given up on him. Her daughter went to elementary school and her youngest son went to kindergarten. She was free and spent all day in mahjong halls and teahouses, playing mahjong and gambling. She gambled from hundreds to thousands, and later tens of thousands…
She didn’t care about the two children anymore. She was addicted to gambling. It was difficult for the children to see her, not to mention washing and cooking for them.
The original body was busy entertaining other women and didn’t go home. Li Manmei was busy playing mahjong all night and didn’t come home. When the two children came home from school, there was no one in the family. The pots and stoves were cold. When they were hungry, they went to the mahjong hall to find their mother. She stuffed two hundred yuan into them and asked them to go out to eat.
The two children were in elementary school and kindergarten respectively. They were both young and ignorant. They bought whatever they liked to eat. They often happily ran to the nearby McDonald’s to eat fried chicken and drink Coke or eat barbecue at roadside stalls. For many years, the two children’s meals were solved in this way.
Seeing this, Han Ze couldn’t sit still. He put on his clothes, picked up the car keys, opened the door, and hurried downstairs. Luo Xinting was in the room. When she heard the noise outside, she came out and saw Han Ze wearing a coat and looking like he was going out. She ran downstairs and asked hurriedly, “Husband, it’s so late, where are you going?”
Han Ze turned his head and looked at her, saying, “I was lying in the guest room and couldn’t sleep. Suddenly I realized that if you hadn’t reminded me to divorce Li Manmei, I wouldn’t have known that I hadn’t been back to see the two children for a long time, and I didn’t know how they were doing. Li Manmei only knew how to play mahjong and didn’t take care of them. Thinking of this, I was very worried. I couldn’t rest assured if I didn’t go back to see them. Thanks to you!”
At the end, he looked grateful.
Luo Xinting looked at the clock on the wall and said hesitantly, “It’s so late, let’s go and see tomorrow.”
Han Ze waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be back after accompanying the children tonight, you go back to sleep.”
After saying that, without waiting for Luo Xinting to answer, he strode out.
Luo Xinting froze, standing there in a daze, her hands unconsciously stroking her belly. Han Ze liked children, and children were his Achilles’ heel. If she could give Han Ze a child, with her ability, then those two children wouldn’t matter. But would Han Ze allow her to have a child?
…
The school bell rang, and Han Xingli quickly packed her schoolbag and ran to the kindergarten next to the elementary school with her legs clacking. Since she came to pick up her brother every day, the security guard in the kindergarten was very familiar with her. Looking at her flushed little face and the dense beads of sweat on her forehead, he said kindly: “Xiao Lili, you can come slower next time. Don’t be in a hurry. The teachers won’t leave until you come to pick them up.”
Han Xingli carried her schoolbag, her back straight, and her little face full of smiles: “Uncle security guard, I’m worried that I’ll be late and Han Xingfan will cry. He must think I don’t want to come to pick him up.”
As she spoke, she wrinkled her nose and complained: “That kid likes to cry too much. I can’t stand it when he cries. Every time I have to coax him for a long time before he stops. It’s so annoying.”
The security guard smiled. Although the little girl’s tone was full of complaints, her love for her brother was real. He had never seen the child’s parents, and he didn’t know what kind of family could raise such a well-behaved and lovely girl.
“Sister! Sister!” Han Xingfan was standing in the kindergarten, and waved his little hands when he saw his sister.
Han Xingli looked at the security guard helplessly. You see what she meant, how annoying it was when he yelled at her!
Their home was right next to the school. Han Xingli held her brother’s hand and walked slowly on the way home. After a few steps, Han Xingfan didn’t want to go on anymore, so he stood there and said, “My schoolbag is too heavy, I can’t carry it, sister, help me carry it.”
Han Xingli ignored him. Every time he said that the schoolbag was too heavy, there were clearly not many books in his schoolbag, so how could it be so heavy? She pretended to be serious: “You have to do your own things. I can’t carry it for you.”
Then she walked forward with the air of ‘I don’t care about you. Let’s see if you can keep up.’
Han Xingfan’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that his sister would leave as soon as she said she would. He even forgot to cry. He took a step forward and ran to his sister. When he got to her, he touched her stomach and said, “Sister, I’m hungry.”
Han Xingli stopped. She was also hungry. She didn’t have enough for lunch. She looked at her brother and asked like a little adult, “What do you want to eat? Sister will take you to eat? Fried chicken legs? BBQ? Chuanchuanxiang? Or let’s go eat spicy shrimp?”
Han Xingfan didn’t say anything. She stuck out her tongue for her sister to see. Han Xingli was puzzled and lowered her head to take a look. It was terrible to see that her brother’s tongue was covered with red bubbles. She was shocked and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with your tongue? Why are there so many bubbles? ”
Han Xingfan retracted her tongue, looked at her sister and said, “Teacher Chen said that I ate too much fried chicken legs, barbecue, and skewers, and I got a sore throat. She told me to drink more boiled water, and eat more vegetables and fruits.”
“Ah!”
Han Xingli was stunned. It turned out that eating too much fried chicken, barbecue, and skewers would cause bubbles on the tongue. It was so scary.
Seeing that his sister didn’t say anything, Han Xingfan pushed her arm and said, “Sister, I want to eat the fried tomato and eggs made by mom.”
Han Xingli looked at her brother in embarrassment. Mom hadn’t cooked for them for a long time, but her brother had a lot of bubbles on his tongue, and he couldn’t eat fried chicken legs, barbecue, etc. There were no restaurants selling stir-fried dishes nearby, so she didn’t dare to take her brother far away, so she could only bite the bullet and said, “I’ll do it.”
Han Xingfan didn’t know that his sister couldn’t cook, and she had never cooked before. When he heard that there was fried tomato and eggs to eat, he clapped her hands happily, “Are the fried tomato and eggs made by sister as delicious as mom’s? ”
Han Xingli didn’t know how to answer. Scrambled eggs taste like eggs, and fried tomatoes taste like tomatoes. No matter who makes them, they should taste the same, right?
She said, “It must taste as good as mom’s.”
There is a small supermarket at the entrance of the community. The two children went to the supermarket and bought two tomatoes and two eggs. The teacher said that the younger brother needed to eat more fruits, and there was no fruit at home. Han Xingli also bought grapes, kiwis, and dragon fruits that the younger brother liked, and carried them home.
Han Xingli stuffed the fruit into her brother’s hand, looked at the tomatoes and eggs in her hand, not knowing how to start. She turned on the computer in the study, searched for how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, copied the method in a notebook, and took it to the kitchen.
Han Xingfan curiously ran to the kitchen to watch his sister cook. Han Xingli pushed him out and said seriously, “Go out and eat fruit, don’t disturb your sister cooking. ”
Han Xingfan said “oh” and went to the living room obediently. He turned on the TV and found the animation channel. He was watching TV while waiting for his sister to cook. Suddenly, he heard his sister scream. His little face was startled and he ran to the kitchen, “Sister, what are you shouting for?”
Han Xingli covered her bleeding hand and was about to cry. The method of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the computer was so simple, how could she cut her hand?
Han Xingfan saw his sister’s bloody hand and screamed, “Sister, your hand is bleeding?”
Han Xingli glared at him and her little face sank: “Don’t scream, go find me a Band-Aid. The Band-Aid is in the drawer of the TV cabinet.”
Han Xingfan sat on the sofa, looking at his sister’s hand with a Band-Aid on it, tilted his head and sighed, and said, “Sister, your hand is injured, what are we going to eat?”
Han Xingli lay on the sofa and looked at her brother: “Are you hungry?”
Han Xingfan nodded, and Han Xingli pointed to the fruit on the coffee table, “Eat fruit if you’re hungry. ”
Han Xingfan rolled around on the sofa, “I don’t want to eat fruit, I want to eat rice, I want to eat meat, I want to eat tomatoes and scrambled eggs…”
Han Xingli was anxious and annoyed, she also wanted to cook rice, fried meat, fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs for her brother, but her hand was injured, right? If her hand was not injured, she would definitely cook for him, and besides, she was very hungry, she still wanted to eat, she couldn’t help but yelled: “If you shout again, I will beat you.”
Han Xingfan snorted twice, pouted, and was about to cry.
Han Xingli frowned, and said quickly: “I beg you not to cry, how about this, there is a box of instant noodles in the cabinet, I will make instant noodles for you?”
Han Xingfan immediately burst into laughter.
“How annoying! “Han Xingli frowned and complained. She filled the water dispenser with boiling water and made instant noodles for him.
After the instant noodles were ready, Han Xingfan ate the noodles happily. Han Xingli smelled the fragrance and swallowed her saliva. She was very hungry and wanted to eat instant noodles, but there was only one box of instant noodles at home. Looking at the grapes on the coffee table, she pinched one and put it in her mouth, but it didn’t satisfy her hunger. She continued to eat, but it still didn’t satisfy her hunger. When she finished the bunch of grapes, she was even hungrier.
Han Xingli was so hungry that she couldn’t sleep. She sat in the living room watching TV. The doorbell suddenly rang. She was startled and looked at her brother who fell asleep on the sofa. She bravely asked loudly, “Who is it?”
Han Ze smiled. The little girl was very alert and replied loudly, “Lili, it’s Daddy, don’t be afraid.”
In fact, he had the key here, but he didn’t open the door personally because he was afraid of scaring the children.
Han Xingli breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her father’s voice, but she was still worried. She looked out through the peephole and saw that it was indeed her father. She opened the door and asked in confusion, “Dad, why are you here?”
Han Ze was stunned, and then said, “This is Dad’s home, why can’t Dad come back?”
Han Xingli said “oh” and turned back to the living room.
Han Ze closed the door, changed his slippers, and saw the instant noodles box in the living room that had not been cleaned up. He frowned and asked, “Is this what you eat tonight? Where is your mother?”
Han Xingli lay on the sofa, hungry and didn’t want to talk at all.
Han Ze still didn’t understand anything. Li Manmei must be playing mahjong. He sat on the sofa, touched his daughter’s head, and asked softly, “Doesn’t your mother come back so late every day? Doesn’t she care about you?”
Han Xingli buried her head in the sofa and still didn’t speak.
Han Ze sighed and said helplessly, “Your mother doesn’t care about you. You should call your father.”
Dad came. Han Xingli couldn’t bear the grievance in her heart anymore. She raised her head miserably, looked at her father and choked with tears and said, “Dad, I’m so hungry, can you give me something to eat?”
Han Ze frowned, “Why haven’t you eaten yet?”
He stood up, put the instant noodles box on the coffee table into the trash can, and walked to the kitchen.
Han Xingli’s eyes were red. She got up from the sofa and said slowly: “Fanfan has a blister on her tongue. The teacher said it was caused by eating fried chicken legs and barbecue. There were no adults at home, so I didn’t dare to order takeout. Fanfan wanted to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but I don’t know how to cook…”
At the end of her speech, she lowered her head in embarrassment. She was so old, but she couldn’t even cut vegetables. When she went back to her hometown, girls who were about her age could all cook.
“Do you eat fried chicken legs and barbecue every day?”
Han Ze turned around and glanced at the Band-Aid on her hand. His eyebrows frowned: “Did you cut your hand?”
Han Xingli nodded and looked at her father carefully. Fearing that her father would scold her, Han Ze patted her head and said, “Is the wound deep?”
“Not deep.” Han Xingli saw her father was relieved after she finished speaking, and there was no anger on his face. She continued, “Dad, my hand hurts.”
Han Ze looked at her and said, “If your hand hurts, go to the sofa and wait. Dad will make noodles for you.”
Han Xingli looked at her father with doubts. She had never seen her father cook. Could her father cook noodles?
Han Ze saw her doubts, thought about it and asked, “Do you want to learn how to cook noodles?”
Han Xingli kept nodding her head. If she learned to cook, she and her brother would no longer have to go hungry.
Han Ze smiled and said, “Dad will make you tomato and egg noodles. We have ready-made dried noodles at home. You don’t have to knead the noodles yourself. It’s very convenient. For tomato and egg noodles, we need to slice the tomatoes. You are small, so use a small knife to cut the tomatoes in half first, so that you don’t cut your hands easily… Crack the eggs and beat them into a bowl, add a little salt, and stir evenly… Boil the tomatoes for a longer time, so that the noodle soup will be thick…”
Han Xingli was amazed. It turned out that there were so many ways to cook noodles.
Han Ze brought the finished noodles to the coffee table. Han Xingli couldn’t wait to pick up the chopsticks and started eating. When the noodles entered her mouth, she looked up in surprise: “Dad, it’s delicious!”
Han Ze smiled and said, “It’s delicious, eat more, and Dad will make it for you next time.”
Han Xingli was surprised and said, “Really?”
Han Ze nodded.
Han Xingli said, “Yeah,” and lowered her head to eat noodles again.
The next morning, Han Xingfan got up and saw his father. He asked curiously, “Dad, why did you come to our house?”
Han Ze: “…”
The two children are indeed siblings, and they said the same thing.
Today is the weekend, and the children don’t go to school. Han Ze is going to take the two children to the company. There is an apartment near the company. He decided to live there with the children during this period. He took the children away. He did not call Li Manmei, wanting to see when she would remember the two children.
The two siblings were very excited when they heard that their father was going to take them to the company to play. Han Xingli said, “Dad, wait for me, I will go to pack my brother’s and my clothes.”
The children were willing to do it themselves. Han Ze did not ask to help, smiled and said, “Go, go. Don’t worry, Dad will wait for you.”
Han Ze took the two children and went directly to his office. The employees in the company saw their boss leading the two little guys over, and they all guessed whether they were the young master and young lady of the company.
Han Ze arranged the two children in the tea room next door, prepared fruits and milk for them, and let them play first, while he went to deal with the company’s affairs. He had the memories of his original body, and the affairs in the company were not complicated, so he could handle them easily. Just after signing the last document, Assistant Zhang from the secretariat walked in.
Han Ze still maintained his original actions, but he knew in his heart: this Assistant Zhang was the fourth lover of the original body.
Assistant Zhang walked over, called Mr. Han in a delicate voice, and stretched out her arm, about to put it on Han Ze’s shoulder. Han Ze stood up as if he didn’t notice her movements, and then seemed to notice her, and asked: “When did you come?”
“Mr. Han, you work too hard, I’ve been here for a while.” Assistant Zhang complained.
Han Ze rubbed his brows and turned into the tea room next door. Seeing two children reading comic books, he relaxed, looked at Assistant Zhang and said, “The children are here, be careful.”
Assistant Zhang also saw the two children, gritted her teeth, and said reluctantly, “President Han, we haven’t gone out to play for a long time, how about tonight…”
Han Ze hurriedly said, “I haven’t been with the children for a long time, I have to accompany them. You are so old, are you still competing with the children for favor?”
Assistant Zhang: “…”
Although Assistant Zhang was unwilling, she really didn’t have the courage to compete with the children for President Han. She could only walk out angrily, thinking that she must consider the situation carefully next time she made an appointment with President Han.
When Han Ze saw her walk out, he called Luo Xinting. Luo Xinting was applying facial mask in the beauty salon. When she received Han Ze’s call, she said in surprise, “Husband?”
Han Ze frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”
Luo Xinting smiled and said, “I’m in the beauty salon. What’s wrong? Husband, do you miss me?”
Han Ze did not answer her. He frowned and said, “When you are done, come to the company. I don’t know what perfume Assistant Zhang sprays, but I keep sneezing when I smell it. Bring your perfume to the office and spray it to change the air.”
“What?”
At this time, Luo Xinting did not know that Assistant Zhang was Han Ze’s lover number four, but she still knew how she hooked up with Han Ze. After listening to Han Ze’s words, her sixth sense as a woman told her that the woman definitely wanted to hook up with Han Ze.
This is too much. She didn’t have time to take care of it until the facial was finished. She urged the beautician to wash her face and apply the facial cream. She drove to the company in a hurry. That woman always thinks about messy things during work hours. She thinks she doesn’t have the heart to work. It’s better to give her position to those who are at ease at work.
