Now their relationship is public, both parents know about it, and colleagues have accepted it. Then there is nothing to hide.

" Yueyue , who are you texting with? So often!" Li Chen asked jokingly.

"My ex-husband." Hua Yueyue had no intention of hiding anything. Li Chen was surprised, he didn't expect her to be so honest. Aren't women supposed to lie to their friends or colleagues at times like this?

But she admitted it so directly. Did she not take him to heart, or did she feel there was no need to hide it? Li Chen couldn't figure her out.

Think about who Li Chen is, a person who can pass through a hundred flowers without leaving a single leaf behind.

"Yueyue , let's have dinner together tonight."

"No need!"

"Didn't you say you still owe me a meal?"

"Oh, by the way, don't be embarrassed, I almost forgot. Well, I'll treat you tonight. Where do you want to go?"

"Then I'm not welcome?"

"Well, you decide."

"Okay, I know there is a delicious Japanese restaurant, but it's a bit far away--"

"how far?"

"It's about twenty kilometers from here, right?"

"That's not too far. Do you like to eat?"

"Well, I just went there once and I thought it was okay."

"Then go ahead. You're the one driving the car anyway, so I won't reimburse you for the gas."

"Haha, of course, you're going to treat me to dinner, so why should you reimburse me for gas expenses?"

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Yu Haichen got off work. When he returned home, he first looked at Hua Yueyue 's house. Dark with no lights? Could it be that Li Chen took him away for dinner again? My heart was sour, but I couldn't hold back my anger. He couldn't let Hua Yueyue feel that he was stingy.

I parked the car and walked into the house. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands first. Then I opened the refrigerator door and found that there was really nothing in it. So he went out to do some shopping.

I went to a nearby supermarket, picked out some raw and cooked food, and bought some daily necessities. His aunt, who was already hungry, shouted that he couldn't wait to go home to make some noodles, so he bought a bucket of instant noodles, asked for hot water from the store, brewed them, and sat at the window seat to wait for the noodles.

Looking at the passing pedestrians and vehicles, Yu Haichen couldn't help but think of Hua Yueyue 's face.

They had just moved here a few years ago and were not very familiar with the surrounding environment. After the move was completed, they came here together. When I was hungry, I bought instant noodles and sat here. They seemed very happy at that time.

We ate together and walked on the street together .

Although they don't talk much, they can feel each other's warmth. When did they start to drift apart? It was the second year after they started working. Since Yu Haichen often traveled on business, Hua Yueyue often made excuses to work overtime in order to prevent herself from being alone at home. At the beginning, she was indeed an excuse. Later, when business improved and there was a shortage of designers, she became busy and working overtime became conventional.

It was not until the third year that they gradually became depressed after spending less time together and more separation. On the eve of Yu Haichen's promotion to vice president, Hua Yueyue filed for divorce, exactly three years and two months after their marriage. He agreed because he was used to not saying no.

Now that she had spoken, he accepted it habitually.

I reflect that I am indeed not a responsible husband.

After eating instant noodles, Yu Haichen returned home carrying large and small bags. He filled up his own refrigerator first, and sent the extra to Hua Yueyue 's refrigerator next door.

By the way, I took a photo for her: [I didn’t pay attention when I went shopping in the supermarket just now. I bought too much and couldn’t fit it in my refrigerator. I’ll give you the extra. If you feel burdened, you can transfer it to me]

After sending the message and waiting for a while, Hua Yueyue did not reply immediately; I don’t know what she is doing now? Have a meal? walk? Or something else--

At this time, a message came on the phone, and it was from Hua Yueyue .

[Thank you. I was just thinking about buying something. That would save me the trouble. How much does it cost? I'll forward it to you. 】Really want to transfer? Yu Haichen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then sent a few numbers, and Hua Yueyue quickly transferred the money.

【Did you have meal? 】Yu Haichen couldn't help but ask.

The two words "Eating" made Yu Haichen look at it for a long time, and finally replied with "Oh";

" Does Yueyue have many friends?" On the other end, Li Chen saw Hua Yueyue sending messages and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Not much." Hua Yueyue put down her phone and replied.

"Oh, so you are busy at work?"

"Well, it's not bad." Hua Yueyue replied good-naturedly, lowered her head and continued eating. They have been waiting for this meal for nearly two hours. From driving here to waiting in line, it basically took a lot of time. Not long after we sat down to eat.

"That's good, we can have more time to see each other in the future."

"Yeah." Hua Yueyue was busy eating and didn't pay attention to the meaning of Li Chen's words. She was too hungry.

Li Chen was happy that she accepted his pursuit. I can't hide the smile on my face when I'm in a good mood.

Yu Haichen packed up the two refrigerators, took a shower and washed his hair, then turned on the TV out of boredom and kept changing channels, finding that there was nothing that could arouse his interest. There are a lot of messages on the phone, but none of them are from Hua Yueyue .

He threw away the remote control irritably. As time passed, he felt that his patience was running out.

Why doesn't she go home? Does it take so long to eat ? This Li Chen wouldn't deliberately find an excuse to trick her into some secret place, right?

I picked up my phone and wanted to send a message to ask - but I felt that I was too close to her. What if she got disgusted? Scratching his head irritably, he randomly clicked on the TV and stopped after selecting a suspense movie!

A grimace appeared on the TV screen, followed by endless darkness. Yu Haichen was quite courageous, but he was taken aback without any precautions.

He turned off the TV, looked at the ceiling nervously, and quickly rushed into the bedroom.

"I'm very happy tonight. Thank you, Yueyue . " Li Chen spoke to Hua Yueyue while driving . He looked at the woman beside him with bright eyes.

"I want to thank you." Hua Yueyue smiled with satisfaction.

Although I paid for it myself, the food was pretty good.

"In the future, we can come here to eat often. I'll treat you next time." Li Chen seemed to see Hua Yueyue 's liking, so he took the opportunity to ask for an agreement.

"Well, it depends on the time. Although it tastes good, it's just a little far away. The waiting time is too long, and it's uncomfortable to be hungry." Hua Yueyue was not very enthusiastic.

"Right, then let's find a place closer next time, and I will make a strategy first."

"Okay." Li Chen smiled brightly after receiving her response.

"Yueyue , I am very happy to be with you."

"Oh, me too."

"Then we - can we be considered friends?"

"What do you think?" We've had dinner together a few times. Are we still friends?

Hua Yueyue was wearing glasses, with light shining through the mirror, and the raised corners of her mouth were naughty and cute. Li Chen was a little distracted for a moment.

"I said, we are friends, and I will date Yueyue often in the future ." Li Chen deliberately spoke in a teasing tone, making Hua Yueyue laugh ;

It was already around 8:50 pm when Li Chen sent Hua Yueyue home .

" Yueyue , can I make an appointment with you tomorrow?" Li Chen couldn't help but ask just before Hua Yueyue got off the car. Hua Yueyue smiled and nodded, "But you have to send me a message first."

"OK, if you work overtime, I'll wait for you to get off work." After saying that, Hua Yueyue got out of the car and waved goodbye. After walking into the house, she remembered what Yu Haichen said about the food in the refrigerator, so she went over to open the refrigerator door. She was surprised to find that not only was there a little extra, but it was all full.
