TGLC Chapter 23.2

Whether Duan Zihui went back or not didn’t affect Xie Qingyu much. After all, opening the shop was her own business.

So when Zhuzhu told her, she was very calm, saying, “Why are you so happy? Your Dad won’t be able to help.”

Xie Qingyu was holding a pen in her hand and drawing on the notebook with her head down, looking quite serious.

Zhuzhu told her mother the good news she had heard: “Mom, Dad knows a lot of aunties who can introduce us to many customers.”

Xie Qingyu was still thinking about something, her mind wandering a little. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and jokingly said, “Rich woman?”

The smile was a little bit vulgar.

Duan Zihui just happened to come in at this time. When he heard what Xie Qingyu said, his face darkened.

She smiled so strangely. Was she thinking of him as one of those gigolos kept by rich women?

Didn’t she even consider whether those people were worthy of him?

How could she possibly be thinking like that…

Little Zhuzhu didn’t quite understand what her mother meant. She said happily, “Yes, Mom. Dad must know a lot of rich women. When the time comes, let Dad call them all over, hehe.”

The little girl seemed to have seen a lot of gold coins flying toward her.

Only then did Xie Qingyu notice Duan Zihui standing behind her. Seeing his gloomy face, she instantly felt ashamed of her unrealistic imagination.

A man like Duan Zihui can have any woman of noble status and good identity he wants. No matter how miserable he is, he will never be favored by a rich woman.

Her unrealistic imagination just now was really an insult to him.

But Xie Qingyu felt a little aggrieved.

She just suddenly thought of it on a whim.

Who would have thought that she would actually touch the tiger’s butt?

She smiled awkwardly.

“Um…Duan Zihui.”

Duan Zihui ignored her. 

After Zhuzhu went out to play, he finally spoke and gave her a cold laugh: “You’re really doing well.”

Xie Qingyu didn’t say anything: She was indeed doing well, and her life was quite good.

After saying that, Duan Zihui turned and walked out.

Later, he said goodbye to Zhuzhu and went back.

Xie Qingyu took care of the child until she fell asleep, then took another look at her notes. After confirming that there was no problem, she prepared to go to bed.

Early the next morning, Duan Zihui came back. He was wearing a blue shirt and looked casual.

It was only seven o’clock. They hadn’t finished cleaning yet, but he had already come over. Xie Qingyu was a little surprised when she opened the door.

“Why are you here so early?”

Duan Zihui’s face remained calm as he said, “I promised Zhuzhu I’d come today.”

He didn’t seem angry with her anymore.

Today was a beautiful day, so she didn’t want to get angry with him.

She said, “Then drive us there later.”

Xie Qingyu was a lazy person. She didn’t want to drive when someone else offered to drive.

Duan Zihui thought back to the last time, curled his lips, and said, “Aren’t you afraid it will be the same as last time?”

Xie Qingyu rolled her eyes at him and said calmly, “Are you willing to leave your daughter there? Besides, if it doesn’t work out, we can take a taxi.”

After brushing her teeth, Zhuzhu came over with a hair tie and asked her mother to comb her hair. After hearing what her mother said, she said, “Dad, you can’t come back without us. Today is a good day for Mom to open the store, and I want you to celebrate with us.”

As she said this, she folded her hands, her eyes sparkling, as if she was looking forward to something.

Xie Qingyu understood the hidden meaning of the little guy’s words.

Celebrate = give us a celebration.

She couldn’t help but find it funny.

She could hear everything this girl was thinking.

Celebrate?

Duan Zihui hadn’t thought about it. After all, he had something to do in the afternoon. But since Zhuzhu said so, he said, “Dad may not be free this afternoon. If I am not there, you can go eat. Dad will pay the bill for you.”

Dad, it seemed, meant to pay for them, right? 

Zhuzhu grinned, very happy: “Okay, Dad.”

It really didn’t matter whether her father came or not; he just had to pay. Zhuzhu felt that running her mother’s shop was a significant expense, so she should be frugal if possible.
