Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 229

Chapter 229

When they returned to the rented house, Lu Qin parked the car in the public roadside parking space in front of the yard. The parking space was public, so anyone could park there, but the neighbors in the community were very friendly and had agreed not to occupy that spot so that Lu Qin could park there whenever he returned at night.

The three of them entered the yard, and the lights in the house were on. It seemed that Xiao Mi had been working inside on her own. When they entered the house, they found someone sitting on the sofa in the living room. It was Shen Muyan’s strategist—Fang Ya.

Xiao Mi could tell who was who and knew about the relationship between the boss lady and Fang Ya, so she invited Fang Ya in.

Fang Ya was nibbling on an apple. When she saw the three of them come back, she immediately rubbed her stomach and said pitifully, “Ugh, you’re finally back, I’m about to starve to death!”

“Fang Ya Auntie, you’re here?”

The little one was full of joy and ran over.

“Hey! Yao Yao baby, come let Fang Ya Auntie have a bite!”

“Then I’ll go cook, you guys sit for a while and watch TV.”

Lu Qin tied an apron, hanging on the side of the fridge, and walked into the kitchen.

“Tsk tsk tsk, what a good and considerate man!”

Fang Ya looked at Lu Qin’s back and praised him. Shen Muyan glanced at Fang Ya.

“You came to freeload without giving a heads-up?”

Fang Ya leaned over, looking sly.

“What? You’re afraid that if I suddenly came, I’d ruin your sweet little moments?”

Fang Ya made a mischievous expression.

“Pooh! You’re full of yellow thoughts!” Shen Muyan spat.

“Oh? Did you forget all the advice I gave you? And now you’re saying you don’t care?”

“I don’t care~!” Shen Muyan pouted.

It had been so many days, and Shen Muyan hadn’t even made it to first base. Fang Ya truly was a strategist!

Shen Muyan increasingly realized that Fang Ya’s ideas were all terrible. If she really had any ability, she wouldn’t be single herself. Shen Muyan felt it was better to rely on herself.

“I do care, fine, I’ll give you another plan later!”

Fang Ya had been quite addicted to being a strategist these days, realizing it was even more fun than dating herself. One dish after another was ready.

Xiao Mi brought them out and placed them on the dining table. Four dishes and one soup, with plenty of food. Kung Pao chicken, red oil mouth-watering chicken, twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, and a winter melon rib soup.

“Wow! There’s mouth-watering chicken! I haven’t eaten this in so long! It looks so tempting!”

“Yao Yao’s favorite twice-cooked pork!”

Shen Muyan, Fang Ya, and Lu Xiyao all stared at the dishes, their eyes nearly popping out. It was mouth-watering. When the rice was brought to the table, they started eating, all of them devouring the food.

The usually high-class rich woman temporarily gave up her image and ate like a pig. After all, it was just in front of Lu Qin, and it didn’t matter. The meal was eaten so quickly, with the sounds of plates clinking.

All the dishes and rice were finished, and the soup was almost gone. The three of them were all full.

“Ai, I can’t move, I can’t stand up!”

Fang Ya ate the most. She hadn’t had Lu Qin’s cooking in a few days, so she was the hungriest. She ate four and a half bowls of rice and a lot of dishes. Now she was sitting in the chair, her stomach bulging like she was four or five months pregnant.

Shen Muyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Were you a starving ghost in your past life?”

Lu Qin brought out the digestion tablets he won in the system lottery.

“Take one of these digestion pills, it’ll help.”

“Thanks, Lu Boss.”

Fang Ya was very grateful. After taking a digestion pill, about ten minutes later, the effect was surprisingly good. The food in her stomach digested quickly, and she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

“I’m good now, Lu Boss, your digestion pills really work!”

Fang Ya stood up, feeling completely relaxed. She had finished eating, so she decided to leave.

“Not going to sit a while longer?”

Shen Muyan saw Fang Ya off at the door.

“Stop being so polite, I know my limits. I only came to freeload on the food, I won’t disturb your warm family time.”

Before leaving, Fang Ya secretly shoved something into Shen Muyan’s hand.

“What’s this?”

Shen Muyan looked down and found it was a small umbrella. She was immediately startled, quickly shoving it into her pocket. She glanced around the room, making sure no one saw, then let out a sigh of relief.

That Fang Ya!

Shen Muyan’s face burned.

Okamoto 001 ultra-thin model, she was really helpless!

Shen Muyan pressed the pocket, knowing she couldn’t let the little one or Lu Qin find it. But since it was in their house, she couldn’t hide it in any drawer either. But putting it in her pocket…

Shen Muyan was wearing tight jeans today, and the box of small umbrellas looked particularly awkward in her pocket.

Throw it away!

Shen Muyan had a sudden thought and hurried outside.

“I’ll go send Fang Ya off.”

Fang Ya had already walked a minute ago, but Lu Qin was in the kitchen cutting fruit and didn’t pay much attention. Shen Muyan walked outside, intending to throw the item away, but she found a group of neighbors taking a post-dinner stroll.

When they saw Shen Muyan, they immediately smiled and greeted her.

“Hey? Yao Yao’s mom, are you out for a walk?”

“Are you alone? Where’s Lu Boss and Yao Yao?” 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Shen Muyan froze for a moment. With so many people around, she definitely couldn’t throw away the small umbrella. She coldly responded a few words and had no choice but to turn around and go back.

“Yao Yao’s mom is so cold!”

“She’s the president of a big hotel, her status is there, she must always be high up, otherwise, how could she intimidate her employees?”

“That’s true, she’s really beautiful, but her personality is too cold!”

“Although, just now when she saw us, she seemed to panic a little. Not sure why?”

…

Back in the house, Shen Muyan saw that Lu Qin was still in the kitchen, and the little one was watching cartoons. She started looking for a place to hide the small umbrella. It was definitely not safe in the room, so after looking around, Shen Muyan found a corner in the shoe cabinet. This should be safe.

After hiding it, Shen Muyan casually walked over to the living room to watch TV with the little one. Xiao Mi finished her work and left on her tricycle.

Lu Qin locked the yard gate and came inside, then opened the shoe cabinet. It had been a while since he cleaned his shoes, so he decided to take them out and clean them. He would air them out tonight to get rid of any odor.

After all, Lu Qin had a fatigue-eliminating aura, so doing these things didn’t tire him at all. Therefore, he had become more diligent, thinking of something and doing it immediately with strong execution and never procrastinating.

“Yao Yao, there are a pair of sneakers under your bed, go get them. Daddy’s going to clean all the shoes.”

“Okay~!”

The little one jumped off the sofa and ran to the room. Shen Muyan didn’t pay much attention at first and continued watching the cartoons. A few seconds later, her heart started to race!

Clean shoes!
