Gu Feier, since her divorce from Gao Jun, had Lin Chen come over to her house as soon as she got off work.
Previously, when they secretly met, they had to book the surrounding hotels.
Now that Gao Jun had left with the daughter, she naturally became the sole owner of this house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Chen entered the door, he frowned and asked, "Why did you divorce Gao Jun?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Feier puzzled, "Isn't this better? Now we can be together!"
"Weren't we together before?" Lin Chen removed his tie and sat down on the couch, "Go, get me a glass of water."
Hearing this, Gu Feier worried that Lin Chen was angry and immediately poured him a glass of water, then tentatively said, "But now we can be just like home, all sweet and cozy~"
Lin Chen drank a glass of water, took a breath and said, "It's so hot."
"I wanted you to drink some hot water to warm up," explained Gu Feier.
Looking at her eager gaze, Lin Chen was somewhat speechless, "I actually liked your previous status, thinking of you still as someone else's wife gave me more motivation."
"So you don't have motivation now?" Gu Feier said, sitting directly on his lap.
Lin Chen glanced at his watch, then urged, "Alright, I need to go back, I used the excuse of a business trip."
"Aren't you staying here tonight?" Gu Feier heard this and was clearly disappointed.
"You sleep alone, I'm going back," said Lin Chen as he pushed her away, stood up, and grabbed his coat to leave.
Gu Feier was clearly emotional and asked directly, "So when are you going to divorce your wife?"
"It depends, what's the rush," Lin Chen said as he opened the door, looking back.
Gu Feier immediately stepped forward, hugged him from behind and said, "I'm definitely in a hurry, I've divorced for you."
"I never asked you to divorce. Now that you're divorced, no one can restrain you anymore, and your ex-husband even left the house and the car for you, he only wanted the daughter, this is so good." Lin Chen pushed her hand away, then reminded, "Recently, my wife has been vigilant, she might have noticed, so I won't come over for the next few days."
Having said that, he left.
Gu Feier, upon seeing this, couldn't help but get angry.
Sitting on the couch, looking at the environment of the room, it was eerily quiet.
In the past, whenever she was thirsty, she just had to call out and Gao Jun, no matter what he was doing, would pour water for her.
But now, the hot water she specifically poured for Lin Chen was left untouched as he left.
The feeling of inequality prompted her to open WeChat and find her ex-husband Gao Jun's chat.
Gao Jun was cooking at the time, the phone screen lit up and then he glanced at it.
Gu Feier: [Has Yingying eaten yet?]
When he saw the message was from Gu Feier, he didn't open it, but continued cooking.
On the other side, a waiting Gu Feier was getting impatient.
She sent another message.
Gu Feier: [?]
Yet, she received no reply.
Gu Feier got angry and immediately made a phone call.
At that moment, Gao Jun was stir-frying dishes.
When he heard the ringtone, he said to Gao Yingying, "Yingying, help me answer the phone."
Gao Yingying immediately came down from the sofa, hopped to the kitchen, and after tiptoeing to see the phone screen, said, "Dad, it's mom's call."
Only then did Gao Jun notice that the caller was [Gu Feier].
So he said, "Yingying, you answer it."
"I don't want to," Gao Yingying pouted, "I don't want to hear mom's voice."
"Answer it."
Eventually, Gao Yingying answered the call.
"Hello~ Mom."
Gu Feier was just about to explode in anger, ready to question Gao Jun why he hadn't replied, yet she heard her daughter's voice instead.
Her mood immediately recovered as she said, "Yingying, have you eaten?"
"Dad is cooking," Gao Yingying glanced at Gao Jun next to her and explained.
"Well then, eat plenty later. Mom will come to see you soon if you want mom to take care of you, just tell mom."
As Gu Feier said this, she was also having doubts.
Before the divorce, she felt that her daughter was a burden, interfering with her lifelong love of freedom.
But now, she wanted to fulfill her duties as a mother.
To Gu Feier's surprise, Gao Yingying decisively refused, "No need, Mom. Dad will take care of me just fine. I'm going to eat now. Bye, Mom."
With just a few words, Gao Yingying hung up the phone.
Gu Feier stared at the hung-up phone, somewhat in disbelief.
She immediately realized that it must have been Gao Jun teaching the child to say this!
[Gao Jun, if you don't take good care of Yingying, I will apply to the court to get back Yingying's custody!]
On the other side, Gao Jun, seeing Gao Yingying hang up on Gu Feier voluntarily, didn't say much but casually remarked, "You hung up just like that?"
"She doesn't care about me; I don't care either." Gao Yingying pouted and huffed.
"Dad!"
Gao Yingying came up to him and said earnestly, "From childhood till now, only you have cared about me, besides you, it's Miss Jiang. Even if I were to find a mom, I'd want someone like Miss Jiang!"
Gao Jun couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking the kid was really fixated on Miss Jiang.
Even though Miss Jiang had only been at the kindergarten for one term, was their bond already so strong!
Then, with one arm he lifted Gao Yingying and with the other, he held a dish as he said, "Don't always talk about Miss Jiang in front of and behind Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang is so young, your dad is so old, it's not appropriate."
"Dad is not old at all!" Gao Yingying became anxious, quickly explaining, "Dad is handsome and young."
"Dad, if you're too shy to approach Miss Jiang, then Yingying will help you!"
Gao Jun chuckled and flicked her forehead playfully, "If you bring this up again, Dad won't make you Coke chicken wings anymore."
"Wuwuwu... Dad, I was wrong."
Later, Gao Jun watched as Gao Yingying eagerly cleared her plate and held her chicken wings, laughing and talking, his heart filled with even more guilt.
Just then, the text message ringtone sounded.
[Merchants Bank]: Your account number ending in 0948 has received a transfer deposit of 9241.00 RMB, with a current balance of 12821 RMB.
Gao Jun realized that his salary had been deposited.
Despite the courier station just being set up and the many expenses needed,
Chen Haoran still chose to give Gao Jun a monthly salary of ten thousand RMB. After deducting social security and personal tax, it left him with over nine thousand RMB each month in salary.
This income was plenty for the bankrupt Gao Jun.
At the very least, it would allow him and his daughter to survive in this bustling big city.
As he pondered, the text message ringtone sounded again.
[Merchants Bank]: Your account number ending in 0948 has received a transfer deposit of 9241.00 RMB, with a current balance of 22062 RMB.
Seeing this message, Gao Jun became happy.
It wasn't that the bank had sent the same message twice in a row.
Because the current balances in both messages were different!
This meant whatever he made, the system could double it!
For a moment, he felt even more motivated.
Looking at Gao Yingying playing with her toys beside him, Gao Jun made a promise in his heart: [Don't worry, Yingying, Dad will make sure you have a good life in the future.]
