why are they still in love

A space without a kitchen is not enough to be called a "home". Xiao Chining has always believed that staying in a hotel is at best a stopgap measure.So during the day when Xiao Zhaoshan went to work, he went to an agency to look at the house, hoping to find a three-bedroom apartment he wanted before returning to school.

Seeing that he was young, the agent felt that renting a large flat was purely wishful thinking, so he chose an old and small old apartment in an attempt to fool things.Xiao Chining walked around the [-]-square-meter dilapidated house without saying anything, and directly dialed Xiao Zhaoshan's phone number.

He handed the phone to the agent: "My dad wants to talk to you."

The agent answered the phone suspiciously, and after a brief greeting, he blew up the apartment according to the procedure, saying how superior its location is, and it only takes 15 minutes to walk from the community to the subway station, which is a rarity.

Xiao Zhaoshan was looking at the exhibition planning plan, absent-mindedly said: "I usually drive."

The intermediary changed the language: "It's convenient for your child to go to school. It's only three subway stops away from his school."

Xiao Zhaoshan said, "He has a skateboard."

The intermediary was a little speechless: "...what if it rains?"

Xiao Zhaoshan replied: "I will pick it up."

The agent came up with a new advantage: "This two-bedroom, one-living room is cost-effective. The landlord accepts a half-year contract, so it's perfect for a transition."

Xiao Zhaoshan read the content of the plan in his hand, and asked casually, "How big is the area?"

The intermediary saw that there was something going on, and was so excited that it was accurate to two decimal places: "Including the shared pool, the total is 43 square meters. Deposit one to pay three, and move in with bags."

Xiao Zhaoshan suspected that he heard it wrong: "How old is it?"

The intermediary repeated it in a straight voice: "43 square meters. It only costs [-] yuan per month without property, water and electricity. It is cost-effective and is sought after by thieves!"

Xiao Zhaoshan was silent for a moment, and only said: "You let my children listen to the phone."

So the intermediary returned the phone to Xiao Chining.

Holding the mobile phone, Xiao Chining deliberately walked into the room before speaking: "Hey, Dad, what do you think of this set? I'll order it if it suits, and there are still several people in line behind."

Xiao Zhaoshan said clearly, "Is it interesting to play tricks on me?"

Xiao Chining held back his laughter and struggled: "What's the matter? I think it's pretty good. There are two bedrooms and one living room. The larger room will be used as the master bedroom, and the smaller one will be used as the study. When the time comes, a [-]th line will be drawn on the table. You draw on the left, I do my homework on the right, elbow to elbow, whoever touches is a dog, how sweet it is."

Xiao Zhaoshan hummed: "It's very good, you book it, I'll stay in a hotel."

Xiao Chining laughed for a full minute: "Then I can't cook for you."

Xiao Zhaoshan turned a page of the plan book: "It doesn't matter, you won't die of hunger."

"I can't warm your bed either."

"It's too cold to die."

"I can't fuck you either."

Xiao Zhaoshan raised his head from a pile of folders, and said helplessly, "Xiao Chining, are you ashamed?"

"The ancients said that food and sex are also sexual, why should I be ashamed." Xiao Chining leaned against the wall and sighed, "Your son is looked down upon by others outside, so instead of saying a few words of comfort, you still want to separate from me .”

"Who looks down on you?" Xiao Zhaoshan has obviously learned how to accurately grasp the point he wants to express in Xiao Chining's nonsense.

"Intermediary." Xiao Chining told him the ins and outs, "I'm wearing too ordinary clothes. The sweater is from Uniqlo, and the jeans are from Muji. The sum is probably not as expensive as his suit. I just told him I want a well-lit elevator apartment for two people to live in, and you see where he took me."

Xiao Zhaoshan didn't think it was a big deal at all: "Change to another agency."

"Are you my real father? Most parents know that their children are being bullied, so they will say—" Xiao Chining imitated, "It's okay, Dad will change you a Gucci schoolbag, and Mom will buy you a pair of limited edition coconuts Why is it different when it comes to you?"

Xiao Zhaoshan lowered his head and continued to look at the plan, and responded without any fluctuation: "I'll buy Gucci for you, and you can ask Chi Yan for shoes. Are you satisfied?"

"I'd forget about it if you didn't tell me." Xiao Chining began to argue, "How much is Chi Yan's watch? You really are willing."

"How do you know?" Xiao Zhaoshan remembered that he had never told him about it.

"I saw her interview some time ago when I was looking for news, and she praised you to the reporter." Xiao Chining said proudly, "Dad, in fact, when I was in Hangzhou, I often searched for news about you and Chi Yan. Unexpected."

Xiao Zhaoshan heaved a sigh of relief, thankfully his focus was not on the "birthday gift", because Chi Yan's birthday was the anniversary of Hu Yingxue's death, and he didn't want Xiao Chining to think of this date.

"What do you search for news?" He asked.

Xiao Chining said lightly: "Of course I know you, understand you, and imagine you."

Xiao Zhaoshan was almost speechless.

"Change the agency and look for it again. Call me when you want to sign the contract." He changed the topic.

Xiao Chining insisted willfully: "I don't care, I want such an expensive watch."

Xiao Zhaoshan said decisively: "You are dreaming."

Xiao Chining said: "Dad, your little lover needs to be taken care of, otherwise the little lover will run away tomorrow."

"Run, you can run from the second ring to the third ring without arguing to go home and I will lose."

Xiao Chining was silent for a while abruptly.

"What if I really run back to Hangzhou?" He asked softly.

Xiao Zhaoshan didn't take it seriously: "It's too easy to take care of another little lover."

Xiao Chining snorted: "You are dreaming."

Xiao Zhaoshan is very proficient in dealing with stinky kids: "You can try who is dreaming."

"Hang it up, I'll sign the contract right away, that's all." Xiao Chining is also very skilled in dealing with the wicked father.

"Go ahead, I'll send you your ID card information and rent on WeChat."

Xiao Zhaoshan agreed readily, but Xiao Chining was very upset.No matter how harsh the words are, it is impossible for him to settle on this small apartment with backlight facing the street and poor sound insulation, so he still has to keep looking.

In three days, he looked at no less than ten houses and compared them. Finally, he and Xiao Zhaoshan had the honor of becoming his and Xiao Zhaoshan's short-lived new home.

The new home is in the atrium of the community. It is relatively quiet at night, and it is on the top floor, with good lighting and ventilation. It is a good deal to add a few thousand yuan and even rent a parking space.The only downside is that the previous tenant's contract was not officially terminated until mid-November, and they had to stay at the hotel for at least one extra week.

Just in time, Xiao Zhaoshan's new work came out, and he really couldn't find time to move, and Xiao Chining didn't want to leave it to others, so he had to go back every day, tidy up little by little, and slowly pack his luggage.

Fortunately, he didn't run into Chi Yan, after all, the latter was also very busy.

As the end of the year draws to a close, inspection teams in various departments are busy making achievements.Thanks to some unknown people in Chaoyang District, Chi Yan's company was the first to be named by the tax bureau, so that she has almost completely moved into the office recently, declaring that she is in the process of self-examination.

Even Xiao Chining, who had never been in business before, didn't believe this.It is said to be self-examination, but in fact it is to perfect fake accounts, disguise tax evasion as reasonable tax avoidance, and call the suppression of similar brands as the deep expansion of existing businesses.

Similar operations are too common in companies with a certain size, and Xiao Chining can imagine that the above investigation will definitely come to nothing.

Xiao Zhaoshan, who was still Chi Yan's legal partner in name, became the last one to know about it.

On Wednesday morning, Dong Xin called anxiously and asked if he planned to expose him, and Yue Zezhang took action.

Qu Chengcheng was next to him, he excused something and hung up the phone, and after the painting was dealt with, he walked slowly to the balcony of the studio and called her back.

Dong Xin said strangely: "Chi Yan has been the darling of the media for more than ten years, but when it comes to the news, there are pretty words like 'beautiful entrepreneurs' and 'model strong women', when did the media report on her? Negative news? Didn’t I say that nine out of ten companies are accountants, everyone knows it well, why is she capsized? Still at this sensitive time point?”

Xiao Zhaoshan had a bad feeling, so he just said, "She has contacts in the tax bureau."

"Yeah, you have a reliable contact and have been successfully reported by the so-called enthusiastic people, do you believe it?"

Xiao Zhaoshan naturally didn't believe it, and asked again: "How did she respond?"

"Definitely deny it, thank the supervisor, and will step up self-examination." Dong Xin felt something was wrong after saying that, "Wait...she didn't tell you?"

Xiao Zhaoshan said bluntly: "We have been separated for less than half a month, and we are preparing for divorce."

These two words had no less impact on Dong Xin than knowing that Chi Yan had been successfully reported.

"Divorce?!" She was extremely surprised, "I heard that right, do you want a divorce?!"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhaoshan took out the cigarette case from the inside bag and took a cigarette in his mouth. "We're almost talking about property division."

"You two have such a good relationship, why do you want to divorce suddenly?" Dong Xin guessed cautiously, "Are you...afraid that she will be implicated?"

Xiao Zhaoshan lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "So I am so noble in your heart. If I was afraid that she would be implicated, I should have divorced her long ago before going to prison."

"Why is that?" Dong Xin couldn't understand.

"Why did you divorce your ex-husband?" Xiao Zhaoshan asked her back.

"I can't live with him anymore."

"me too."

"You have spent 20 years together." Dong Xin emphasized.

"So I don't want to waste another 20 years." Xiao Zhaoshan said.

Dong Xin was speechless for a long time.

Looking at the usual street scene, Xiao Zhaoshan reminded: "I will go to find out about Yue Zezhang's tone tomorrow, and I will discuss with you after the result of the inquiry. During this period, you should be more vigilant. It is the end of the year, and there are eyes everywhere. Don't be fooled by it." People take hold."

"I know." Dong Xin was still digesting the divorce, "Hey, I think of how loving you two were before, I'm really...sentimental."

"What are you feeling?" Xiao Zhaoshan asked.

"I feel that most good things are not strong, and the colorful clouds are fragile and the glass is brittle [1]."

"First of all, she and I are not a good thing, and secondly, our relationship is not a good thing." Xiao Zhaoshan said, "The worse it is, the more numb it will be, and the longer it will be numb. A rare moment of sobriety is a great thing. You should Congratulations to me."

"Congratulations." Dong Xin smiled bitterly, "I hope you won't regret it."

"I'm living a good life now." Xiao Zhaoshan affirmed, "I won't regret it, and I don't want to regret it."
