"Is there someone in the room?" Tian Xiaohui muttered softly, looking at Chen Cheng's back.

She had come over to deliver something, thinking Chen Cheng's phone was broken.

She had also thought that while delivering the items, she might as well deliver a little... something else.

It had been a long time... she missed it a bit.

Chen Cheng walked into the bedroom and saw Zhong Xiaoqin still sound asleep. He shook his head in amusement; this girl was such a heavy sleeper.

It had been eight or nine hours, and she still hadn't woken up.

With the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, Chen Cheng slipped into the covers.

"Oh, stop it~" Zhong Xiaoqin groggily slapped away Chen Cheng's mischievous hand.

After a while...

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes suddenly flew open. She jolted upright and looked at Chen Cheng with a face full of terror.

Chen Cheng propped his head up with his hand, looking at the panicked Zhong Xiaoqin with a beaming smile.

"Awake?"

"You..."

"Me what?" The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up.

"I..."

*Gulp~*

Zhong Xiaoqin swallowed hard as scenes from last night replayed in her mind one after another.

Drinking really causes trouble!

Chen Cheng chuckled and reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Alright now~"

"It's already happened; there's no use dwelling on it."

"Anyway, you're getting a divorce. As for us, at most, it's just mutual attraction and consent between a man and a woman."

Zhong Xiaoqin shrank into his embrace like a startled little white rabbit, not daring to move an inch.

Last night, she'd had a huge fight with Chen the Fish-Rearer, was emotionally worked up, drank a lot of alcohol, and was then beguiled by the handsome Chen Cheng's words.

She had actually... actually...

And... and they'd carried on for half the night.

Zhong Xiaoqin was too ashamed to think further.

After a long while, Zhong Xiaoqin gave Chen Cheng a petulant punch. "It's all your fault!"

"Okay~" Chen Cheng's smile was brilliant. "It's all my fault~"

"Get up. The sun has been up for ages."

"Your husband..." Chen Cheng said, then paused. "Oh, wait, I mean your ex-husband."

"He's called several times."

"The phone!" Zhong Xiaoqin's expression immediately turned frantic.

"Oh~" Chen Cheng gave a light chuckle and pulled her back into his arms. "What's the rush?"

"Let's get things straight first."

"What do you plan to do?"

"I... I..." Zhong Xiaoqin stammered for a long time, her mind once again devoid of ideas.

Yesterday she was in a fit of rage, but then she'd gone and done this with Chen Cheng.

Seeing that she couldn't squeeze out a single word, Chen Cheng playfully pinched her elegant nose. "If you don't have a plan, then listen to me?"

Zhong Xiaoqin thought about it and nodded with a blush. "Mm~"

"Since you're not the same kind of people, then part ways amicably."

"Divorce is essentially just two things. One, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the paperwork."

"That's easy. Just take your certificates to the Civil Affairs Bureau and take a number."

"Two, the division of assets."

"Whether you fight for them or not is up to you. Regardless, in the future, I won't let my woman have to borrow even two hundred yuan from someone else."

Zhong Xiaoqin's face instantly reddened, and she chided him, "Who is your woman?"

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth turned up as he tightened his hold on her. Leaning against Zhong Xiaoqin's pretty face, he said with a smile:

"What?"

"We've already performed the 'Rites of Zhou,' and you want to back out now?"

"I..." Zhong Xiaoqin was suddenly at a loss for words.

With a smile hooked on his lips, Chen Cheng leaned down and kissed her lips.

"Oh, it's smelly~ I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"I'm not even complaining, and you're the one who's unhappy?"

Chen Cheng rubbed his nose against hers, his warm breath hitting her fair face.

Zhong Xiaoqin felt a wave of pleasure. Her mind began to wander, her throat moved, and she unconsciously swallowed.

Seeing her silence, Chen Cheng leaned down and kissed her again.

Within seconds, Zhong Xiaoqin gave up her resistance and raised her hands to wrap them around Chen Cheng's neck.

"Go take a shower~" Chen Cheng kissed her for a while before letting her go.

Zhong Xiaoqin's face was as red as a honey peach, and she nodded bashfully. "Mm~"

...

More than half an hour later, Chen Cheng came out of the bathroom carrying Zhong Xiaoqin.

This half-hour had been incredibly uncomfortable for Tian Xiaohui outside the door.

She had finished reheating the food and was wondering why the boss hadn't come out yet, so she was about to come over and call him.

As a result, she heard the two of them carrying on in the room.

She was already feeling stifled and frustrated. Not knowing who was in the room and being unable to rashly enter and disturb them made it even more unbearable.

"This is a guest room, so there are some simple clothes prepared for guests. See if there's anything that fits you. If not, I'll have a salesperson from Misia downstairs deliver some," Chen Cheng said softly as he placed Zhong Xiaoqin on the edge of the bed and opened the wardrobe.

"Misia~" Zhong Xiaoqin murmured the name, then immediately shook her head like a rattle.

"No need, no need."

As she spoke, she pointed randomly at a white T-shirt in the wardrobe. "I'll just wear a short-sleeved shirt."

If Manni were to bump into her... how would Manni look at her in the future?

*Gulp~*

Zhong Xiaoqin swallowed nervously, not daring to think further.

Chen Cheng didn't mind and casually handed the clothes to her.

The two of them tidied up. A few minutes later, Zhong Xiaoqin, dressed in a white T-shirt and a black pleated skirt, left the room with Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng looked at the floor by the wall near the door... and was stunned for a moment.

Where did this come from?

Chen Cheng even glanced at the ceiling.

Walking into the living room, Zhong Xiaoqin finally realized there was someone else in the house.

The two women stared at each other with wide eyes.

Zhong Xiaoqin's face was as red as a red apple. She lowered her head and asked Chen Cheng in a hushed voice, "Who is this?"

"Oh~"

Chen Cheng finally snapped out of it. With a smile on his face, he introduced the two of them.

"This is Tian Xiaohui, my personal assistant."

"You can just call her Xiaohui."

"Xiaohui, this is Zhong Xiaoqin."

Tian Xiaohui spoke first, very respectfully. "Hello, Miss Zhong."

"Hello, Xiaohui~" Zhong Xiaoqin was a bit stiff, or rather, a bit embarrassed.

Her situation with Chen Cheng was somewhat ambiguous, or even immoral.

And yet, this bad man had even called his assistant over.

It was so embarrassing to have an outsider know about this kind of thing.

After they greeted each other, Chen Cheng nudged Zhong Xiaoqin to sit in the same spot she had occupied last night. "Alright, let's eat."

After they were seated, Tian Xiaohui brought all the reheated dishes to the table.

Jiangqiao Duck, stewed soft-shell turtle, black truffle braised pork, Longjing Shrimp, and two vegetable dishes.

It was indeed quite a feast.

Chen Cheng glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin. Seeing her look of total embarrassment, he thought for a moment and then waved his hand at Tian Xiaohui.

"When is the person delivering the cat litter and cat bed arriving?"

"Um..." Tian Xiaohui quickly took out her phone to check. "They're on the way, only two kilometers away. Estimated to arrive within half an hour."

"Okay~" Chen Cheng nodded. "Then you take Pikachu down for a walk first."

"It's been all night; it probably needs to use the bathroom."

Tian Xiaohui glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin, her eyes darting. She immediately understood that the boss was sending her away and nodded. "Okay, Boss."

Watching Tian Xiaohui leave the door carrying Pikachu, Zhong Xiaoqin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Cheng laughed. "Xiaohui is one of us; she won't go talking nonsense."

"Oh~" Zhong Xiaoqin pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.

Chen Cheng smiled and invited her, "Eat up. After we finish, I'll take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head. "I'll go by myself."

"Don't know how to explain it?" Chen Cheng arched an eyebrow.

"Mm~"

There was some embarrassment on Zhong Xiaoqin's face. Too many things had happened in this one night.

She hadn't quite processed it all herself. If Chen Cheng were to show up as well, she didn't know how chaotic the scene would be.

Chen Cheng didn't force the issue. "Alright~"

He didn't have the inclination to go and flaunt himself in front of Chen the Fish-Rearer anyway.

The two of them chatted while they ate.

Chen Cheng pointed to the iPhone 11 Pro Max on her left. "Your phone screen is completely shattered, and I saw it was an old model from several years ago. It's not really worth repairing. So, I took the liberty of getting you a new phone."

"I've already helped you migrate your contacts and everything."

"The commonly used apps are installed too."

"If you're not used to using an iPhone," Chen Cheng said, pointing to an unopened box on the table, "there's also a Huawei one here."

"I bought them both for you; see which one you like."

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes went round, and her heart felt as if it had been smeared with honey.

She really liked this feeling of being pampered.

With a smile on her lips, she said, "Thank you~"
