I arrived at the studio with a pair of panda eyes, and Ding Wei smiled and said something to me when she saw me.

"What's wrong? Overindulge yourself?"

After Ding Wei finished speaking, my legs suddenly went weak. Damn Zhuo Yang, he really let me indulge myself too much. My legs are sore and my waist is weak now. I just want to find a place to continue sleeping.

It seemed that because my complexion was really bad, and coupled with the incident with Hu Ling a few days ago, Ding Wei was very tolerant towards me.

He waved his hand and said to me: "Go to the lounge and have a rest..."

I am indeed tired and don't want to hold on any longer.

So I found a quiet room and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sun was setting outside the window.

When I pushed the door open, I found that there was someone else in the office.

Strictly speaking, several people gathered at the door of Ding Wei's office, seemingly eavesdropping.

I seemed to hear the sound of gossip.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there something I missed?"

"Shh..."

When they saw me coming, they asked me to lower my voice, "Listen... Hu Ling and our CEO Ding are arguing..."

Hu Ling and Ding Wei quarreled? I was a little curious, so I tilted my ear and listened carefully.

Although I came in midway, strictly speaking, my comprehension is pretty good.

Ding Wei said: "Ms. Hu, we can try our best to solve your problem... as long as it is within a reasonable range!"

Hu Ling said, "Within a reasonable range? Director Ding, are you saying that my request is unreasonable?"

Ding Wei continued, "Strictly speaking, Ms. Hu, you know it yourself. The design concept and shape of this dress overlap with another international brand. Our studio is not a knockoff. I'm sorry that we can't provide you with such a dress."

Hu Ling also said: "Believe it or not, I fired you guys?"

Ding Wei seemed to smile, "We are cooperating with Excellence Culture. Strictly speaking, we are partners, not superiors and subordinates. First, Zhuoyang has no right to fire us. Second, even if there is... it's not you, Miss Hu..."

Hu Ling: “…”

I was listening carefully outside the door, and when I heard Ding Wei say that, I really wanted to applaud her.

Ding Wei is simply my god!

But I underestimated Hu Ling's shamelessness, or rather, I overestimated Hu Ling's IQ.

"Do you think I have no say in front of Zhuo Yang?" She seemed to be cornered and said this.

Ding Wei didn't say anything, but I could faintly hear her laughter.

I think, although I can't see Ding Wei's expression, I can guess it now.

It must be an expression of how silly and naive you are.

At this moment, I like Ding Wei so much.

Unprecedented.

However, my happiness did not last long.

Because Hu Ling seemed to have called Zhuo Yang, and finally she hung up the phone and said to Ding Wei proudly: "Since I can't make a decision! Then let the person who makes the decision come over!"

The implication is that Zhuo Yang is coming over.

Zhuo Yang

My mind is a little fuzzy... Wait...

Zhuo Yang is coming over

I'm awake.

You know, the person I least want to see right now is Zhuo Yang. God knows we just had the popular 419, and according to Zhuo Yang's personality, I don't know how he will mock me, especially after I sneaked away the next morning...

Faced with the choice of avoiding Zhuoyang or continuing to listen to gossip, I chose to avoid Zhuoyang.

I sneaked downstairs, ready to escape before Zhuo Yang arrived.

Maybe I was lucky that day, I returned home safely without meeting Zhuo Yang.

I felt refreshed and satisfied after taking a nap in the office. I was thinking of having a big meal tonight and then having a good rest before continuing to work tomorrow.

However, when the millet porridge I cooked in the evening was still steaming, the doorbell rang.

The first thing I did was to open the door, but I was smart because I glanced at the peephole before opening the door.

It would be fine if you didn't watch this, but when you did, I was shocked.

That guy Zhuo Yang was actually standing at my door.

Of course I wouldn't open the door. Zhuo Yang waited for a minute and pressed the doorbell again.

The sharp doorbell rang in my ears, and I jumped in fright. My hands shook and I almost opened the door. But I suddenly reacted as I held the door handle.

I am no longer Zhuoyang's wife, so what am I afraid of? If I want to open the door, I will open it. If I don't want to open the door, he must get out of here...

Thinking of this, I just sneered and went back to my millet porridge.

The doorbell didn't ring again.

I think Zhuoyang probably gave up.

But-

Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, the crisp phone ring rang.

I picked up the phone in a panic, and it turned out to be from Zhuo Yang.

I hung up without thinking and turned off the phone.

But I forgot that the door was not soundproof, and Zhuo Yang must have heard it outside the door.

Sure enough, Zhuo Yang's half-smiley voice sounded at the door.

"An Yue, open the door! I know you are in there!"

I remained unmoved.

Zhuo Yang seemed extremely impatient. He didn't even ring the doorbell, but directly banged on the door with his hands/feet. How rude!

"An Yue! Open the door! My room key fell on your bed!"

"… "

I felt like my heart was riding a roller coaster. One moment it was high in the sky, and the next second it was fluttering and rolling to the ground.

In fact, I understand. Who is Zhuo Yang? There are so many women around him. I am just a woman he never wanted, and now I am his divorced wife.

How could I have thought that he would pester me in all kinds of ways just because we had done it after our divorce

It turns out that I will always be the stupid and naive person.

Since Zhuo Yang said so, I naturally had no choice but to open the door.

After opening the door, Zhuo Yang saw me and seemed to sneer.

I ignored him and went to the kitchen to take care of my millet porridge. I was thinking about what dish I would eat tonight...

As I was thinking, I was startled by the sound of a door slamming shut. I thought, maybe Zhuo Yang took the key and left…

But, it has nothing to do with me.

The millet porridge is ready, I turned off the fire. This kind of porridge just needs to be simmered for a while.

I went to the refrigerator to see what else was there, and by sheer luck, I found the refreshing wilted cucumbers that I had made some time ago.

Originally, I only bought it once in the supermarket and thought it tasted good. Later, I was in a good mood and had nothing to do, so I simply imitated the one in the supermarket and made it myself.

I didn’t expect it to taste so good.

I felt very satisfied, so I took a wilted cucumber, cut a piece of braised beef, and fried some dried fish. This was my dinner for tonight.

only-

When I got everything ready and came out, there was an unexpected person sitting on the sofa.

"Why are you still here?"

Don’t blame me for my bad tone. I thought Zhuo Yang had left, but why did he occupy my sofa like a big boss

Zhuo Yang ignored my rudeness and just looked my house up and down before saying, "Your house is really small."

"What's it got to do with you!" Are all rich people the same? Song Yu came over and said it was a birdcage, and Zhuo Yang also said it was small...

How can it be small? It is about 80 square meters, close to 90 square meters, and an ordinary family can accommodate two families.

I decided not to argue with Zhuo Yang and just continued to serve my dinner.

Zhuo Yang nodded, looked around my room, patted my sofa, and said, "The layout is not bad..."

Zhuo Yang actually praised me, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Then I felt elated and pursed my lips, "Of course..."

Since Zhuo Yang was a reasonable person, I invited him to dinner.

He must have looked down on these porridge and side dishes before, and I also expected that he had plenty of fish and meat outside and would definitely not stay to compete with me for these porridge and side dishes...

But, to my surprise again, Zhuo Yang stayed.

Also had a great time eating.

He ate up all my porridge and all my wilted cucumbers, and in the end there was not even enough braised beef in soy sauce, so I ended up giving away all the food I had prepared as snacks.

Finally, after we had our fill, his master asked me to prepare some fruit for us.

I really have no words to express my pain. If I had known earlier, I would have just chased him away.

This isn't weird...

What’s strange is that Zhuo Yang didn’t leave after dinner, but sat on the sofa watching TV peacefully.

I can't sit still anymore.

Directly issued an order to expel them.

"Did you find your keys?"

"No." Zhuo Yang said lightly.

"Then... you can go get one... or I'll give it to you if I find one..."

"No thanks." Zhuo Yang waved his hand to reject my kindness. He stood up and looked at me. "Have you packed everything?"

I didn't understand, but I nodded anyway.

Because there will be oily smell from cooking, I usually take a shower after washing the dishes... So now I just have to wait for Zhuoyang to leave, and then I can stay in bed and watch a movie peacefully.

Zhuo Yang nodded to me, seemed satisfied, and walked towards me.

I took a step back, but he grabbed me into his arms.

"What's wrong?" I was surprised.

Before I could react, Zhuo Yang had already hugged me and went straight into the bathroom.

I am not a virgin, so I naturally know what Zhuo Yang is trying to do...

But I grabbed his hands as he unbuttoned my pajamas, feeling a little confused, "What are we doing?"

Zhuo Yang smiled. He seldom smiled, but once upon a time he smiled so beautifully that it could captivate the whole city.

He kissed my lips and seemed to mutter something.

"What do you think it is?"

I racked my brains but couldn't figure it out. Finally, I don't know what got me going, but an idea suddenly came to my mind.

A word slowly emerged in my mind.

Cautiously, I said, "Firebag friend?"

"… "

I don’t know why, but I think Zhuoyang’s face looks a little dark.

Well... it's pretty dark.
