My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 471: the turtle in the jar

At that time, Shi Huan was still skillfully making dumplings in the kitchen, completely unaware that she had already become the prey of someone’s scheme.

Having wrapped all the remaining dumpling skins and fillings, and having boiled them, she divided them amongst three plates and served them.

As expected, the plate of dumplings on the coffee table had already been cleaned out.

As soon as Little Luoluo saw Shi Huan bringing over new dumplings, her beautiful, big eyes lit up. She grabbed her small bowl and chopsticks and immediately started eating.

Shi Huan couldn’t help but remind her, “Luoluo, don’t eat too much for dinner, you’ll feel uncomfortable.”

Little Luoluo looked at her with a hurt expression and retorted, “I’ve only eaten two.”

There were a total of twenty dumplings in the first plate. Because she ate slowly due to her small mouth, the other eighteen dumplings had all been eaten by a certain uncle.

Shi Huan immediately turned to look at Chu Xiuhuang.

Chu Xiuhuang cleared his throat twice, “If you want to eat, just say so. You were eating so slowly, I thought you didn’t like them.”

Little Luoluo blinked her eyes and continued her griping, “I eat slowly.”

Shi Huan directly grabbed the chopsticks, clipped several dumplings for the little girl, and said, “Eat quickly.”

Chu Xiuhuang looked over and started complaining again, “Little Huanhuan, why aren’t you helping me?”

Shi Huan responded with a forced smile, “Do you need me to feed you?”

Chu Xiuhuang, unabashed, responded, “I wouldn’t mind.”

Shi Huan: “…”

She took a small stool and sat down across from the coffee table, ignoring him.

Chu Xiuhuang stretched his long legs and chuckled, “I’ll buy you a bigger sofa later, and this coffee table is too small too.”

Shi Huan simply acted as if she didn’t hear him.

…

After finishing the dumplings, Shi Huan was left speechless again.

She had made more than eighty dumplings, thinking she could save some for the next day’s breakfast. Yet, Chu Xiuhuang ate nearly sixty of them by himself.

He really was… a pig!

The pig-prince was now slouched on the sofa, his long legs sprawled out. He rubbed his belly and commanded, “Little Huanhuan, fetch your boss a glass of water.”

Shi Huan resignedly got up and brought him a glass of warm water.

After Mr. Chu leisurely finished his glass of warm water, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Chu, it’s getting late.”

The implication being: you should leave now.

Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, “What’s the rush?”

“It’s nearly eight o’clock,” Shi Huan bluntly replied. “Luoluo needs to go to bed at nine.”

“So she’s going to sleep right after eating, like a pig?” Chu Xiuhuang blurted out.

Upon being called a pig, Little Luoluo immediately pouted in discontent.

Shi Huan was also looking quite displeased, “Mr. Chu, it’s rude to talk that way.”

Chu Xiuhuang looked at the teary-eyed little girl and attempted to explain seriously, “I mean it for her own good. You shouldn’t eat four hours before bed, and you should do some light activity after dinner. If she goes to bed right after eating she’ll easily gain weight and become a fat kid, which won’t look good…”

“If it wasn’t for your insistence on having dumplings, would I even be stirring up such a fuss so late and eating dinner at this hour?” Shi Huan interrupted him.

Chu Xiuhuang didn’t reply.

“Mr. Chu, please go back. Your health isn’t good and it’s not advisable for you to stay out late. In case your condition worsens, I’ll need to take care of you again,” Shi Huan said in a no-nonsense way.

After finishing, she promptly got up and opened the door.

Chu Xiuhuang felt rather dismissed.

Especially when he met Little Luoluo’s big, bright eyes.

He frowned, “Are you trying to drive me away now?”

Shi Huan responded calmly, “Mr. Chu is overthinking it. I’m just considering your health.”

“Haha.” Chu Xiuhuang let out a cynical laugh.

A hypocritical woman.

Obviously she wanted him to leave, but she didn’t want to lose that fivefold salary. Did she think he couldn’t see that?

Getting up and grabbing his coat, Chu Xiuhuang strode towards the door. Suddenly, he said, “You’re driving me.”

Shi Huan’s eye twitched, “I’m driving you?”

“Yeah, it’s so late. You don’t expect your boss to return alone, do you?” Chu Xiuhuang responded shamelessly.

“May I ask, Mr. Chu, how did you get here?” Shi Huan asked.

“I took a taxi.”

“Then taking a taxi back should be fine.”

Chu Xiuhuang parried this move too. “It’s too late now. I’m so handsome, it’s not safe for me to take a taxi alone. Haven’t you seen the recent news? You know how many young women have been victimized by cab drivers?”

Shi Huan: “…”

“Drive me.” Chu Xiuhuang ordered.

Shi Huan took a deep breath, “Wait a moment.”

…

Soon, Shi Huan had put on her coat, taken her car keys, and left home with Chu Xiuhuang.

Throughout the drive, she didn’t say a word or even glance at him, pretending to remain placid.

When the car finally stopped in the car park of Nangong Hospital, she remained facing forward, “Mr. Chu, we’re at the hospital.”

Chu Xiuhuang supported his chin with his fist, a pair of jade-like eyes staring intently at her.

In fact, from the moment they left the house to get in the car, he had maintained this posture without changing.

He didn’t say a word, leaving Shi Huan no choice but to turn and ask him, “Mr. Chu?”

Chu Xiuhuang, corners of his lips curved up in a slight smile, started speaking, “Little Huanhuan, what do you think of me?”

“What do you mean?”

“What kind of man do you think I, Chu Xiuhuang, am in the eyes of a woman?”

Shi Huan carefully weighed her words, “Mr. Chu, you are handsome and knowledgeable, and you come from an aristocratic family. You are also very generous to women. You’re an outstanding man.”

“So, I’m that perfect in your eyes?” Chu Xiuhuang seemed very pleased with herself.

However, Shi Huan’s smile was quite stiff, “Indeed, in the eyes of the women of Nancheng, Mr. Chu is perfect.”

“In that case,” Chu Xiuhuang continued smiling, “Little Huanhuan, would you consider me?”

“What do you mean?” Shi Huan was taken aback again.

Chu Xiuhuang reached out, placing a hand on her shoulder, and said earnestly, word by word, “Give it some thought, and consider becoming Chu Xiuhuang’s woman.”
