Chapter 571 Extra – Shen Li and Zhou Ting
Zhou Ting actually didn’t want to come because Raccoon was unreliable every time, but she blew her mind on the phone, so there was no harm in Zhou Ting wanting to meet her.
She deliberately came late to test Cheng Wei’s patience, but I didn’t expect that when she met him, the man didn’t say a word about it, and when he heard that she was sorry, he just smiled faintly and said that he had also just arrived shortly. Seeing that he was tolerant and generous and calm, Zhou Ting secretly gave him a compliment in her heart.
It wasn’t bad, it was a lot better than she thought it would be, and Raccoon was finally reliable for once.
Opposite the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face of righteousness, although sitting, Zhou Ting can also visually estimate his height of at least one seventy-six to one seventy-eight, postgraduate education, returnees, family well-off, parents are civil servants, although he is doing scientific research work, but a wide range of interests, playing football, listening to music, food, travel, reading books …
Zhou Ting felt that these hobbies of his were much the same as his own, and that he would definitely have a common language when living together in the future.
Because of studying in the UK, Cheng Wei has the flavor of an English gentleman, polite and courteous. Speaking voice is also good to listen to, low with a little magnetic, like can penetrate into the heart of the people, he is very talkative, to her about some interesting things in foreign countries, hands and feet exudes a kind of mature man’s charm.
Zhou Ting was too satisfied and felt that her happiness for the rest of her life was him.
“Mr. Cheng,” Zhou Ting looked at him shyly, “I don’t know if you understand my situation anymore, I, on the other hand, am running to get married, after all, I’m not too young, and to be honest, I don’t want to toss and turn anymore.”
“Of course, this is a very serious matter,” Cheng Wei straightened his face, “I won’t hide it from Ms. Zhou, I came here after reading your profile and finding it very satisfactory.”
“The information is satisfactory, then I …” Zhou Ting trailed off, as if joking, “must have let you down.”
“On the contrary,” Cheng Wei’s low voice struck into Zhou Ting’s heart like the sound of a zither, “I’m even more satisfied to see Ms. Zhou in person.”
“Really?” Zhou Ting was ecstatic, but she still had to pretend to be reserved on her face and said with a smile, “I think Mr. Cheng is also very nice!”
She was a little shy, and when she spoke, with her head half bowed, she heard the other say, “He’s good, what about me?”
This voice … Zhou Ting jerked her head up and jumped up as if she had seen a ghost, “Shen Li, why are you here?”
Shen Li sat down slowly and methodically, “Looking for you!”
Cheng Wei was a bit baffled, but had excellent manners, “Who is this?”
Shen Li was still slow, “I’m her husband!”
Rao Cheng Wei’s eyes widened even though he was well-cultivated.
Zhou Ting was busy explaining, “No, we’ve been divorced for a year, he can at best be called an ex-husband.”
“Ex-husband?” Shen Li lazily nestled in his chair, just barely lifting his feet up on the table, compared to the well-mannered Cheng Wei, it was simply a heaven and a earth, Zhou Ting didn’t even bother to look at him. Zhou Ting didn’t even bother to look at him. But she heard him slowly say, “If I remember correctly, last Friday night, you were lying in your ex-husband’s bed, right?”
Zhou Ting’s face instantly reddened to the color of pig’s liver as she stumbled over her explanation to Cheng Wei, “Old friends gathering, I was drunk that day, he, he took me back, what happened, I don’t even remember.”
“Don’t remember or are you too embarrassed to say?” Shen Li nonchalantly picked up her cup and took a sip, “Do you want me to remind you.”
“Shen Li, you’ve had enough!” Zhou Ting let out a low gulp, “Hurry up and leave, don’t make a mess here.”
“Zhou Ting, that’s what’s wrong with you, that night you still hugged me and said you loved me, it’s only been a few days, why did you turn your back on me?”
“Who said love you? Who said that?” Zhou Ting was dead set against admitting it.
“Do you dare to swear? Swear venomously, and if you do, you’ll get uglier every day!”
Zhou Ting angry straight stomping feet, she really hated herself, obviously divorced, but somehow, ghostly, I do not know is driven by alcohol, or the atmosphere of the weird, she actually did not resist, let the man do whatever he wanted, in that kind of state of lust, she is not awake at all, only to follow the body’s senses, that kind of time when he asked her if she loved him, is a woman will answer love ah!
Cheng Wei probably understood when he saw this, shrugged his shoulders and said to Zhou Ting, “Ms. Zhou, I think you should deal with your relationship with your ex-husband before you consider anything else, I still have things to do, you guys chat.”
Zhou Ting panicked and chased after her, “Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng listen to my explanation!”
But Cheng Wei took it in stride and didn’t even listen to her explanation.
Zhou Ting could not cry, so she turned back and looked at Shen Li with fire in her eyes, “What do you mean in the end? Are you happy because I’m not happy?”
“Happiness? Just that Frankenstein’s monster just now?” Shen Li snorted, “Dream on.”
Zhou Ting frowned and sat down, “What do you mean?”
“Zhou Ting, I’m doing this for your own good, you can see that he’s good looking and has a good face, but he has a lot of quirks that you must not know about.” Shen Li beckoned the waitress over to order a cup of coffee and added, “Give this young lady a dark chocolate.”
“Come on, tell me, what’s going on backwards?” Zhou Ting kicked his chair.
“Do you know what he keeps as pets?” Shen Li counted to her with his fingers, “Lizards, snakes, spiders, scorpions, small crocodiles, anyway, he keeps whatever is scary, such a person, can you sleep with him in the same room? Not afraid of a snake or scorpion crawling up on the bed in the middle of the night?”
Zhou Ting was creeped out when she imagined that picture, but she was a bit disbelieving, “How do you know?”
“As long as I want to know, I can know.”
This is a truth, Zhou Ting knows that he has a wide range of contacts in the political, business and military sectors, as long as he wants to know, there is nothing he can’t find out by inquiring.
“You investigated him?”
“You’re my ex-wife, I have to think about your safety, and I’d be relieved to leave it in the hands of a reliable person!”
“You’re really doing me a favor?”
“Of course, a one-night stand, I’m not a thin-skinned man.”
“Shen Li, if you’re really doing this for my own good, I’m asking you, I’m bothering you, I’m thanking you, stay out of my business, don’t show up in front of me again, okay?”
Shen Li raised an eyebrow, “Saying such words, you are so heartless.”
“You have a conscience?” Zhou Ting couldn’t wait to splash him with coffee, “Every time I go on a blind date, you come to mess up, you just can’t see that I’m good! I was really blind in the beginning, why did I marry you?”
Shen Li grunted, “There’s no need to be so distressed, haven’t you already left?”
“It’s a good thing I’m divorced, or I’d still be in my grave.” Zhou Ting chewed a piece of dark chocolate, aromatic and rich, sweet with bitterness, just like her short-lived marriage, although there was sweetness, but the bitterness also followed her like a shadow. She couldn’t take it anymore and argued with him every day, and when she did, she divorced.
Shen Li’s eyes swept the wind, Zhou Ting was like being cut by an ice knife, a shiver in her heart, she did not dare to say anything again.
Shen Li didn’t even say hello, stood up and left, Zhou Ting looked at his stiff back and knew that the careful man was angry again, she muttered, “Ordering something and then asking me to pay for it, every time it’s like this.”
Shen Li heard it and turned back to give her a smile, “You’re also a boss nowadays, are you unwilling to treat your ex-husband to a cup of coffee?”
Zhou Ting waved her hand at him, “OK, OK, OK, you go, I’ll pay the bill, OK.”
Shen Li, however, returned back, leaning over and propped up on the table, smiling and laughing, “Zhou Ting, the next time you go on a blind date, notify me first to get the situation straightened out for you before you go on, so as not to rejoice in vain.”
“Get out!”
Shen Li laughed out loud, and proudly left.
Zhou Ting looked at his arrogant appearance and was so angry that her teeth itched, it’s been a year since she left, why is this man always a ghost?
She felt that they were really enemies in the past life, so this life is so entangled. Divorce when the marquis thought of old death, but the reality is always give her a blow, do not know in what evil, a huge city, a sea of people, every now and then always meet.
Zhou Ting took out her cell phone to call Tianna and cursed as soon as she got through, “Was it you? Say, was it you?”
Tianna knew that she couldn’t hide it and smiled bitterly as she held the phone, “I had no choice, it was Shao Boqing who forced me! He said that if I didn’t report it, he would make me look good again!”
Zhou Ting was furious, “He forced you to talk? Are you that afraid of him?”
“He’s the head of the family now, I’m scared of him, you know I’m pregnant, what if he doesn’t want me anymore? I’m half afraid to offend him now!”
Zhou Ting hated the iron, “Look at you! Where’s the vigor you had back then? You also learn from me, if he dares to step on his face, you will leave him!”
“Who’s going to support me if I leave?”
“I’ll raise you.”
“The kids need their dad, and you’re not a guy.”
“Find another good one. I realized that Shao Boqing and Shen Li are really a nest of snakes and rats, the two of them are half a catty, none of them are good!”
“Hey hey hey!” Tianna was not happy, “Let’s talk about Shen Li, what’s the point of bringing my Shao Boqing into this? He’s a model husband and a filial father now!”
Zhou Ting was infuriated by her, “Just now he was saying that he was arrogant, but in the blink of an eye he’s become a model husband?”
Tianna pulled away from the topic, “Zhou Ting, just listen to my advice, stop fooling around, remarry Shen Li, have a child at ease, and live a peaceful life.”
Zhou Ting snorted coldly, “The hell I’m going to remarry him, I had a hard time getting divorced in the first place, I’m not remarrying until I’m out of my mind.”
“I still don’t understand why you want to leave? Shen Li is so good to you, what are you afraid of? All day long, you are suspicious, catching rumors, and fooling around with him. Shen Li is not as good as Shao Boqing back then, right, but I have seen how he attracted butterflies, but not hard to agree to his marriage proposal, is not now living quite well?”
“You’re different, you’re married to your son, I’m alone and I just don’t feel safe with him.”
Tianna hit the nail on the head, “I think you have low self-esteem plus cowardice, and you’re suffering from Shen Li, aren’t you?”
“I suffer from him?” Zhou Ting snorted, “That’s a joke. Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk to you, bye!”
Tianna looked at the cell phone that was suddenly hung up and cried and laughed, while Shao Boqing asked, “What? She still can’t figure it out?”
“This guy has been poisoned by Mr. Gu, she always thinks that only men like him are reliable, so the more she loves Shen Li, the more she wants to push him away, the old girl trapped in love ah, is acting so blindly, really can’t understand!”
“Forget it, don’t bother, be careful of getting tired, quickly sit down,” Shao Boqing asked attentively, “Do you want to drink water? Do you want to eat something? Are your shoulders sore, do you want a massage?”
“Go away, annoying,” Tianna glanced at him, “For your brother’s sake, I’m even pretending to be a little daughter-in-law in front of Zhou Ting, hurry up and ask Shen Li to step up his efforts and get her done quickly.”
“Yes, Your Honor Wife,” Shao Boqing gave a standard salute, “Don’t worry, as soon as the two of them are well, you’ll immediately turn over a new leaf, and I’ll always be your faithful and obedient little Boqing.”
“Fuck off!”
“Yes, I rolled!” Shao Boqing arched his body and pretended to roll, making Tianna laugh.
Another windy and sunny afternoon, Zhou Ting walked slowly along the street, unintentionally glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the roadside cafe, frowned, then a loose, a hint of laughter climbed up to the top of her eyebrows, twisting her waist and walked in.
The man’s back was turned to her, and he was talking and laughing with a girl with long hair draped over her shoulders, when she slammed into his shoulder, “Hubby, why are you here? Didn’t we agree to watch a movie together today? Who is she?”
The long-haired girl looked at Shen Li in surprise, “Aren’t you divorced? How …”
“Hubby, why are you lying to the little girl again, tell me, how many times this month?” Zhou Ting poked her finger into Shen Li’s forehead, “Why don’t you change your nature?”
The long-haired girl looked at her like that, a little startled, “What’s going on backwards?”
“Can’t you see what’s going on?” Zhou Ting’s hand on Shen Li’s shoulder, smiling and leaning against him, “I’m saving you, my husband has no other problems, is too philandering, see a pretty little girl can’t walk. It’s okay, he has a three-minute fever for anyone, in order to pick up girls, always telling people that he is divorced, in fact, we are not divorced at all, he does not know how much he loves me, isn’t that right, husband?”
Shen Li, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, looking at her very seriously: ”That’s true, except for you, I haven’t loved anyone else. Otherwise why did I marry you? However,” he smiled faintly, “It’s not right to lie, we’re already divorced.”
“Divorced yes, but didn’t we agree to remarry!”
“Yes?”
“Yes, you forget, last night when you went to bed you said, find a time to get married again, or always feel like cheating.”
Shen Li frowned slightly, “As if I did say that.”
Zhou Ting was a bit smug and said to the long-haired girl, “I didn’t lie to you, did I, he’s going to remarry me soon.”
“So it’s really cousin’s wife, disrespectful!” The long-haired girl stood up and bowed to her, “I’ve always wanted to meet cousin’s wife, I’m a great admirer of you, the one who can clean up my third brother is definitely not a generalist, and today I’ve seen it, and it’s really something!”
Zhou Ting was dumbfounded for a moment, “Cousin, cousin-in-law?”
“Let me introduce,” Shen Li stood up, “This is my cousin, who grew up and settled abroad, and came back to China for a trip, and stopped by to see me. This is Zhou Ting, who is my …”
“I have nothing to do with him,” Zhou Ting hurriedly interrupted him, “I was all joking just now, I’m not his wife ….”
“Panic what ah, I also did not say you are my wife, say ex-wife you do not object, right?” Shen Li said to his own cousin, “We are really divorced, but she is noisy all day and night to remarry me, as soon as I see me with a beautiful girl together, it is nervous, to come over to make trouble, so that I am annoyed, there is no way, who asked me to love her!”
Zhou Ting made a big face, heard Shen Li said love her, more embarrassed, panicked to escape, “That I still have something to do, go first.”
But his hand was clasped by the man, “Just now, he also said that he wanted to remarry, how can he just leave ah, choose a day, I think it’s today.”
“No, I don’t. …”
“I recorded everything you said just now, don’t try to deny it!”
“Cousin-in-law, I also heard that you can do certificate oh!”
Zhou Ting desperately broke away from his hand, “I don’t have anything with me, the Civil Affairs Bureau won’t accept it.”
“It’s okay, I’ll call their director.”
“No, you haven’t proposed yet, I can’t just say yes so casually.”
“Proposing, huh?” Shen Li grabbed her hand and didn’t let go, kneeling on one knee. “Wife, let’s remarry?”
“No ring.”
Shen Li put his hand into his jacket pocket, then took it out and spread it out, he actually had a large handful of rings in his palm, all kinds of rings, diamonds, cut-outs, twisted silk, white gold, yellow gold, looking at Zhou Ting’s heart in a panic, like a hundred little rabbits jumping around in her heart.
“You’re ….”
“There are twelve rings here, from the day after I divorced you, I started to buy rings, wanting to propose to you again, Zhou Ting, you know I didn’t want to divorce, but you resisted like that, it was so hard, I had no choice, so I had to let you go, thinking that after some time apart you’d slowly think things over, but you were too screwed up, rejecting me over and over again. I buy one every month, I want to see to buy the first few times, you will promise to remarry with me. By now it’s been a year, twelve whole ones, I think it’s time, wife, I love you, let’s remarry?”
Zhou Ting’s tears poured down her face, “There are no flowers!”
A cousin on the sidelines was busy saying, “There’s a flower store next door, I’ll get it right away.”
“Don’t, buy them at my store,” Zhou Ting said with tears and a whimper, “A shipment of red roses just arrived this morning, big and fresh!”
“Good, fat water does not flow into outsiders’ fields,” Shen Li stood up and wiped the woman’s tears clean, “Go, you pick the best bunch for me.”
“No, pick the worst of the bunch and keep the good ones to sell for money.”
“Whatever you like. Pick one of the rings first.”
“Give it all to me, I’ll have to learn my lesson this time, so I don’t get nothing when the time comes.”
Shen Li gave her his hand, “Fool, as long as you have me, you have everything.”
