One night, I barely slept.
Though there would be plenty of time to be together every day in the future, lovers who reunite after a long separation are always particularly clingy to each other's bodies.
They were either chatting or engaging in activities, and the night passed with them enjoying themselves immensely. The next day, Zhan Bei Jue still had to wake up early.
"Why don't you take today off from work? Sleep well at home, and I'll come back to have lunch with you."
He got up himself but couldn't bear to make Jiang Nan Fang wake up early.
"Isn't the State Grid project running smoothly? Just let them handle it."
Jiang Nan Fang was indeed exhausted, but she wasn't someone who liked to slack off at work.
"Forget it, since you're already up, there's no point in me lying around at home alone. I'll go to the company and take a look."
"Didn't you say that once you're back, we'd leave work behind and go see the kids? I need to prepare everything in advance."
She had a point.
The two of them got out of bed together.
While changing clothes, Jiang Nan Fang remembered that this wasn't her home.
"What if my clothes were torn by you yesterday? I can't possibly go out wearing your clothes, can I?"
Fortunately, their apartments weren't far apart, Zhan Bei Jue said.
"I'll go back and get them for you. What do you want to wear?"
Jiang Nan Fang thought for a moment.
"Forget it, you have no idea which clothes I need. It's better to have Jiao Jiao make a trip and bring them over. You wait for her downstairs."
Jiang Nan Fang hadn't returned home all night.
Chen Jiao Jiao had sent her many messages without a reply, and her calls went unanswered.
She thought something had happened and quickly reported it to Lu Ming Zhe.
Lu Ming Zhe guessed that as a grown-up with a sharp mind, she probably wouldn't get into trouble.
"Don't worry, let me call that guy surnamed Zhan and see. Maybe they're together."
As it turned out, no one answered his calls, and his messages went unanswered.
It was too intriguing.
Late at night, neither of them answered their phones or replied to messages. Could it be such a coincidence?
He then called Zhou Jin Bei.
Zhou Jin Bei, dressed in loungewear, had been kicked out and was driving to a hotel, sulking.
When she received Lu Ming Zhe's call, she finally found someone to vent her frustration on.
"Why are you calling me so late when you should be sleeping?"
Hey, this girl.
You should at least call me brother, why are you speaking so rudely?
Lu Ming Zhe asked her what was wrong, "Who upset you so much late at night to make you so temperamental?"
"If I tell you who upset me, are you going to help me get revenge or something?"
Zhou Jin Bei said fiercely, "Hurry up and tell me, I'm annoyed. What do you want from me?"
This girl is becoming more and more presumptuous.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if your second brother is at home. Why isn't he answering his phone?"
"Tch, of course he's not answering, he's busy right now."
"Busy with what?" Could it be that he's still working overtime this late?
"Busy with what? Late at night, a man and a woman, what do you think they'd be busy with?"
"Ah?" Lu Ming Zhe was so excited he almost jumped out of bed.
"What do you mean a man and a woman late at night? Explain yourself, with whom?"
"Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really that dumb? Who do you think he's with? Besides that woman, who else does he have in his eyes?"
Zhou Jin Bei said sourly.
"They've gotten back together, didn't he tell you? Does he not consider you a friend? Just now, in front of me, he almost..."
Lu Ming Zhe continued to be agitated.
"He took her back, and almost did it in front of you... Your second brother is quite something now!"
"Haha, and you now..."
"He kicked me out? A pregnant woman wandering on the streets late at night, while he's having a good time with his ex-wife at home, are you satisfied?"
Hahahaha!
Lu Ming Zhe almost died laughing.
Great, this is so interesting. Zhan Bei Jue and his ex-wife are back together.
This guy is finally getting some action again! Why is it more exciting than me getting action?
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work, Bei Bei, don't be angry. Brother knows it's not easy for you either. I'll reimburse you for the hotel tonight."
"At least you have some conscience."
Zhou Jin Bei's wounded heart finally found some comfort.
"I won't ask for too much, just transfer me ten thousand yuan. Not only for the hotel, but I also need to eat. I'm so broke lately I can barely make ends meet."
Lu Ming Zhe was about to give her five thousand, but she asked for ten thousand right off the bat?
"You girl, you really push your luck. Ten thousand for one night? Is that too extravagant?"
"I've worked for your second brother for a few days, and I haven't seen a single cent of salary yet. Please pity me and give me some living expenses."
Fine.
Lu Ming Zhe wasn't short of money, so he immediately transferred ten thousand yuan to her.
The pleasant night ended. In the morning, Chen Jiao Jiao received a call asking her to help find an outfit and bring it downstairs.
Chen Jiao Jiao smiled eerily.
"Sister Nan Fang, why didn't you let me know you weren't coming back last night? You made me worry that something had happened to you."
"But now that I know you two are back together, I'm relieved. Your ex-husband is really good-looking, with a great physique, and must be quite capable in certain aspects, right? Were you very happy last night?"
Zhan Bei Jue was still standing nearby, not having left. This little girl was actually speaking like that.
Jiang Nan Fang blushed with embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? You're so young and learning bad things, who taught you all this!"
"Oh, I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run, haven't I? I'm a woman who grew up watching Korean dramas."
"Although I've never really had a boyfriend, I've seen at least eighty thousand men, if not a hundred thousand. Tell me quickly, is he very capable?"
Seeing her talk about such sensitive topics, Zhan Bei Jue should have felt embarrassed and quickly hidden.
However, he didn't leave. Instead, he walked over to Jiang Nan Fang and sat down with a thoughtful expression.
He just stared at her.
It seemed he was also very curious about how she would answer.
Jiang Nan Fang felt her face burn with embarrassment under his gaze.
"What about you? Is Lu Ming Zhe good-looking? Is he capable? Why don't you tell me?"
Jiang Nan Fang had a flash of inspiration and threw the topic back to Chen Jiao Jiao.
Chen Jiao Jiao was not a shy person and spoke directly.
"Him? We're not at that stage yet. We haven't slept together, so how would I know if he's capable."
"But he doesn't seem very reliable. Sister Nan Fang, to be honest, I don't have any romantic feelings for him."
Jiang Nan Fang thought she was joking.
"I know, you've seen countless men since you were young and are immune to handsome guys. How could a mere Lu Ming Zhe catch your eye?"
Chen Jiao Jiao explained earnestly.
"I'm serious. Perhaps I've always considered him like family in my heart since childhood. When I see him, I feel like he's my brother, you know what I mean?"
"Anyway, there's no romantic atmosphere between us like you and your ex-husband. I probably won't marry him in the future."
Hearing this early in the morning, how heartbroken would Lu Ming Zhe be?
He was already preparing to be the groom.
Jiang Nan Fang cast a sympathetic glance at Zhan Bei Jue.
