A life of financial freedom

In the car, Chu Fang's body swayed with the vehicle, and he inadvertently fell into Zhong Tingyue's arms.

"I'm driving," Zhong Tingyue said, swatting away his wandering hands.

"I'm driving too!" Chu Fang retorted righteously.

"You're just making trouble for me," Zhong Tingyue said with a hint of disdain. "You can make me cry, but you can't comfort me."

"Hey, Zhong Tingyue, you're slandering, insulting, and spreading rumors about me," Chu Fang said, straightening up immediately.

He needed to polish his image and couldn't let it be tarnished.

Zhong Tingyue smiled sweetly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, you're amazing, okay?"

"That's right!" Chu Fang puffed out his chest.

Zhong Tingyue shrugged.

Appeasing men is that simple, not much different from哄 children.

Men are essentially children.

The couple returned home to find Chu Zhi also reading, while Chu Jin was glued to the TV, drooling. On the screen was a delicate and handsome young man, her favorite boy band idol, 'Bai Gaolang'.

Seeing Bai Gaolang, Zhong Tingyue immediately sat on the sofa, gazing at the young man.

The mother and daughter were engrossed.

"Mom, I like Bai Gaolang," Chu Jin whispered. "I want to marry him."

"No way!"

"Why not?"

"Your mom likes him too."

Chu Fang was speechless: "Am I not more handsome than this Bai Gaolang?"

"Mr. Chu is also handsome," Zhong Tingyue said, "but..."

"No buts, I'm just more handsome than him!"

Just then, the TV screen flickered, and another handsome guy appeared, one Chu Fang happened to know, 'Qiao Zhenghong', who had been rumored to be dating Chu Yi a few days ago.

Qiao Zhenghong said on TV: "I really like Chu Yi. Her singing and music deeply attract me. If possible, I hope to have further contact with her."

Then Qiao Zhenghong's image disappeared.

Chu Fang frowned.

Chu Jin said, "I don't like Qiao Zhenghong. I don't want him to be my aunt's husband."

Zhong Tingyue: "Is this a publicity stunt?"

Chu Zhi also looked up from his book: "Qiao Zhenghong has phoenix eyes with downturned corners, which in physiognomy indicates a deep and scheming nature. The narrow space between his eyebrows and eyes suggests he may be petty and calculating."

Chu Fang looked at his son: "When did you learn about physiognomy?"

Chu Zhi raised the book in his hand, 'Ma Yi Xiang Fa', and said, "It's written clearly here. Qiao Zhenghong is not a good person. Dad, you should advise Aunt."

... ...

Late at night, in a top-tier bar in Modu, deafening music, colorful lights, figures swaying wildly... ...

Shao Bowen rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.

As an 'old fogey' in his fifties, he really wasn't used to such occasions.

Taking advantage of Qin Jun's trip to the restroom, Shao Bowen said to the woman in the cheongsam, "Stop playing around and get Qin Jun to sign the contract quickly."

"Understood," the cheongsam woman nodded.

When Qin Jun returned from the restroom, the cheongsam woman opportunely suggested that the two companies sign the contract, and Qin Jun readily agreed.

Hearing this, Shao Bowen breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Fang's youthful face involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"Hmph! Kid, you're still too green to fight me."

Immediately, Shao Bowen and Qin Jun signed the contract on the spot. Just as he was about to put pen to paper, Qin Jun received a call and immediately terminated the cooperation between the two companies.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?" Shao Bowen asked, puzzled.

Qin Jun clasped his hands, expressing his apology: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shao, our cooperation is temporarily suspended."

With that, Qin Jun left, and the cheongsam woman wanted to follow, but he refused, got into a taxi, and left the bar.

Watching the car disappear into the night.

Shao Bowen's eyebrows furrowed as if they were a mountain range.

"What's going on?"

"Why would he suddenly terminate the cooperation? Could it be..."

Shao Bowen immediately thought of Chu Fang.

"Could it be that kid is scheming something behind my back?"

Shao Bowen asked, "Who has Little Qin been in contact with recently?"

"No one. He's just been playing around these past few days."

"Think more carefully, especially the day I took you to see Little Qin. Did that handsome young man see Little Qin?"

The cheongsam woman thought carefully: "No."

Shao Bowen's heart gradually sank.

Chu Fang's bright smile appeared in his mind, and he increasingly felt that his chances of winning that bet were getting smaller and smaller.

... ...

In the early morning, Zhong Tingyue saw her husband get up, touched her forehead, and then touched Chu Fang's forehead, muttering, "No fever."

"Zhong Tingyue, what do you mean?"

"Why are you getting up so early?"

"Going to work."

Zhong Tingyue was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly panicked: "Mr. Chu, is something bothering you? Don't keep it to yourself. Tell me about it, and I'll help you sort it out. Do you not like me watching Bai Gaolang? Actually, I don't really like him that much, I'm just bored. He's not as good as Mr. Chu in any way."

"Mr. Chu, you're actually very amazing. You often make me feel really sore. I belittle you just to get the upper hand verbally. Don't take it to heart..."

These days, Chu Fang had been getting up early and going to work early.

This was completely inconsistent with Zhong Tingyue's perception of her husband.

She thought, "Could it be that Mr. Chu's psychological emptiness is back again?"

Chu Fang stood on the bed, his right foot on Zhong Tingyue's forehead, hands on his hips: "So, were you wrong or not?"

"I was wrong," Zhong Tingyue apologized.

"Good that you were wrong," Chu Fang put his foot down. "The reason I've been going to the company these days isn't because I have a psychological problem or because I'm feeling empty, but because I think something good is going to happen."

Seeing her husband's bright smile, Zhong Tingyue realized that she was simply overthinking.

Zhong Tingyue gritted her teeth: "You're playing with me!"

"I'm not playing with you. You're the one who imagined I had a problem."

"Chu Fang, you're playing with me."

"I'm not."

"Chu Fang, you're playing with me!!!"

The whole house was uneasy all morning.

Chu Jin's eyes sparkled: "Fight, fight, fight, kill, kill, kill, kill until the blood flows like a river, the world is turned upside down, and the mountains are burned and the seas are boiled."

Chu Zhi just ate his food silently.
