"Bang!"
The private room door burst open. Seeing the passionate kissing scene inside, Lin Duo'er screamed, "Chen Fu!"
Chen Fu snapped awake, shoved the woman in his arms away, and stood up. "Hua'er, I, I..."
Tong Xinhua stumbled backward, hitting the wall of the private room.
Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, please don't blame Chen Fu. I was drunk. I made the first move. I, I'll leave now."
"You're not allowed to leave!" Lin Hua'er pointed at Tong Xinhua.
Tong Xinhua trembled. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. It's my fault. Please don't be angry."
Chen Fu looked at his wife. "Hua'er, let her go."
"No!" Lin Hua'er took out her phone. "This matter needs to be known by my little uncle. Once or twice, don't you find it strange? If you were Pan An handsome, it might be understandable."
Chen Fu was most afraid of his little uncle and couldn't let his wife call him, who was already a county magistrate.
He reached out to snatch Lin Hua'er's phone. Lin Duo'er refused, and the couple struggled for a while. The phone still fell into Chen Fu's hands. He said to Tong Xinhua, "You can go."
Tong Xinhua looked at Chen Fu pitifully and bowed slightly. "I'm sorry. I was drunk and spoke carelessly. Please don't overthink it."
She got up and walked past the couple. With her back to Chen Fu, Tong Xinhua sneered dismissively at Lin Duo'er.
"You? You're not allowed to leave!" Lin Hua'er reached out to grab Tong Xinhua.
"Slap!" Chen Fu raised his hand and slapped her. "Are you done making a scene?"
Lin Hua'er froze. Then, she looked at her husband in disbelief. The person who had done wrong was asking her if she was done making a scene?
Such an absurd reason, such a barbaric husband, made Lin Hua'er's heart turn cold. Her gaze also became icy. "Fine, I won't make a scene."
She let her swollen left cheek show and walked out of the private room. "I'll make room for you. Chen Fu, don't forget what Grandma said."
Tong Xinhua reached out and grabbed Lin Hua'er. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Chen Fu also drank quite a lot."
"Slap!"
Lin Hua'er slapped Tong Xinhua across the face. "Do I need you to apologize to me on behalf of my husband?"
"Ah!" Tong Xinhua let out a soft, delicate cry, covering her face and staggering back.
Chen Fu quickly supported Tong Xinhua and roared angrily at his wife, "Hua'er!"
Lin Hua'er turned her head and looked at her husband calmly. "What? Do you want to return the favor?"
Her wife's coldness stunned Chen Fu.
Tong Xinhua leaned into his arms. "Chen Fu, it's okay. Sister-in-law is just angry for a moment."
Chen Fu's expression softened again because of Tong Xinhua's comfort. "I'm sorry, I didn't discipline her properly, causing you to be wronged."
Tong Xinhua looked up at Chen Fu shyly. "I'm fine. Don't be angry."
Chen Fu's expression became gentle as he looked at Tong Xinhua. "I'm not angry."
Watching the two people gazing at each other affectionately, Lin Hua'er clenched her fists, suppressing the tearing of her heart. She held back her tears and walked out of the private room.
...
A month ago, Zeng Jingliang was taken to a place by his cousin and saw his brother.
His cousin and brother never told him what illness his brother had.
They just asked him to take over the Aodu Group.
He refused. He had no interest in business operations and only wanted to be by his wife and daughter's side as a quiet "chef."
His long-term goal was to find a "chef" for his daughter who was as unambitious as him and devoted to assisting her.
Zeng Jingliang refused to take over, and Zeng Jingchu had no choice but to have Zeng Jingrong and Zeng Lin maintain close contact to indirectly ensure the operation of Aodu Group.
Although Zeng Jingliang refused the position of CEO of Aodu Group, Zeng Jingchu wrote a deed of gift, transferring twenty percent of the shares to Zeng Jingliang as a precaution.
This transfer would not be announced to the public under normal circumstances, to avoid attracting ambitious people.
For the past month, Zeng Jingliang's heart had been unsettled. Previously, when he was unwell, his brother was full of life.
Now that his health had recovered, his brother's health had suddenly deteriorated to the point where he had to stay in that special small room.
This made him suspect that perhaps his own recovery had affected his brother.
This was because the Zeng family had always been like this for generations. If they were an only child, that male child would be very healthy. If they had multiple children, only one male child would be healthy, and the rest would be frail.
However, it had never happened that he, who had been frail since childhood, regained his health after adulthood.
If it weren't for the fact that it had been like this for generations, he wouldn't have suspected it.
He was the only one who knew about this. His grandfather had comforted him when he was young, saying that his frailty was normal for the Zeng family, and he could marry and have children, and live a normal life and death. However, all the offspring would be female.
This was the reason why the Zeng family's population was dwindling.
If he had taken his brother's health, he truly didn't want that.
He had been accustomed to frailty since childhood and did not want to bear the burden of the family business...
"Hua'er? What's wrong?"
Yuan Feng's voice interrupted Zeng Jingliang's thoughts. He walked out of the kitchen and saw Lin Hua'er standing in the hall with one side of her face red and swollen.
"Second Aunt~" Lin Hua'er's tears finally fell. "I, I want to make a phone call."
"Don't cry, don't cry," Yuan Feng quickly took out her phone. "You call."
...
It was Saturday, and there was no work. Li Zhengguo lingered at the clinic with Dr. Yang until after dinner, when he returned to the deserted courtyard house.
He opened the bedroom door, took out a change of clothes, and prepared to take a bath.
His phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw it was Yuan Feng's number. "AFeng?"
"Little Uncle, it's me, Hua'er."
Lin Hua'er's tearful voice made Li Zhengguo frown. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Xiao Fu he... *sob sob sob*... I think something is wrong. I want to make a call... *sob sob sob*..."
After Lin Hua'er finished speaking between sobs, Li Zhengguo quickly asked, "What about them?"
"When I left, the two of them were still gazing at each other affectionately."
Stupid! Li Zhengguo cursed Lin Hua'er as stupid, but thinking that she could still tell him immediately, she wasn't completely beyond hope.
"Quickly tell AFeng and Jingliang to take them away, don't let Xiao Fu really make a mistake, hurry!"
"Yes!"
Lin Hua'er also panicked. She hung up the phone and quickly asked Zeng Jingliang and Yuan Feng for help.
The couple had already understood from Hua'er's words. Moreover, because of the quietness in the restaurant, they had also heard Li Zhengguo's words.
They asked Lin Hua'er to help watch Yuanyuan and guard the restaurant, and the couple hurried down to Laoyingzui.
...
In the private room, the sound of Lin Hua'er's footsteps as she left brought Chen Fu back to his senses. He let go of Tong Xinhua. "You can go. Don't come again in the future. I have a family, and I need to be responsible for my family."
Tong Xinhua turned around and hugged Chen Fu's waist, leaning into his embrace.
"Chen Fu, from childhood to adulthood, I have always been a girl who lacks a sense of security."
"After becoming your deskmate, every time you left the classroom after class, I would stare at your back and space out, because I could see that reassuring stability in your back."
"Every time the class bell rang and you returned to the classroom in silence, it also made me feel at ease. This is why I unknowingly fell in love with you."
"I know you are a responsible man. I won't force my way in. Just let me lean on you like this for a while."
Chen Fu raised his arm. He didn't want to test his self-control anymore. Lin Hua'er's words just now reminded him of what his mother had said: if he dared to act out, his mother would only want the four children and not him.
Tong Xinhua sighed softly. "Chen Fu, I, I actually have a bold idea."
"You can't bear to leave your family, and I can't forget you. I, I'm willing to be your mistress. I don't ask to see you every day. I only ask that you occasionally visit me during the winter holidays to relieve my longing."
"Just like this, leaning in your arms for a while, my heart is as sweet as if I've eaten honey. This short while can make me savor it for a very, very long time."
"If it were like that kiss just now, I would be savoring that moment in my dreams every night."
"Your kiss has magic, your tongue has an electric current, making me sink into it, and my liking for you deepens."
"If you can possess my body, then my dreams, my heart, and all my pores will miss you incessantly."
"Brother Fu~ I'm in your arms, don't you want me?"
Tong Xinhua raised her head, looking at Chen Fu, whose expression was unreadable. She stuck out her tongue and licked his chest.
Although it was through clothes, this teasing and stimulating lick made Chen Fu tremble all over.
Tong Xinhua smiled, her smile enchanting. She raised her arms around Chen Fu's neck, stood on tiptoe, and gently traced Chen Fu's lips with her tongue.
"Brother Fu~"
In Chen Fu's mind, there were no longer parents, no little uncle or aunt, only Tong Xinhua's charm and the teasing little kisses at her lips.
He could no longer resist. He lowered his head and kissed the mischievous tongue by his lips.
Tong Xinhua, being kissed fiercely, let out a panting cry, "Brother Fu~"
This sound made Chen Fu's mind filled only with desire...
