First spoiled, then love

Chapter 537 It hurts at first, but feels great later (12000)

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Qingrong stood up and walked to Tang Xiaoru and asked.

Tang Xiaoru said helplessly, "The one who was supposed to contact Nana, Friesen, is here, but he's not very familiar with the Magic City and is now stuck at the airport. You can drive over to pick him up."

Chen Qingrong was speechless. "He is a special assistant after all. Even if he is not familiar with demons, he should at least know how to take a taxi, right? He still needs me to pick him up? Are you trying to act like a big shot?"

Tang Xiaoru also found it a little funny, so she said, "That's not the case. It's mainly because his Mandarin is not very good and it's difficult for him to communicate with others. When he sent me a voice message on WeChat just now, he spoke in English in a hurry. Fortunately, I understood it."

"Anyway, go pick him up. I'll send you his WeChat and you can connect with him. After you pick him up, take him to the hotel first."

"Did you book the hotel for him?"

"I wanted to order it for him before, but he was embarrassed and insisted on ordering it himself."

"Not bad, I'm a decent person. I'll go then."

"Be careful on the road."

"OK."

Chen Qingrong went out first.

After entering the elevator, Tang Xiaoru also pushed Friesen's WeChat to him. Chen Qingrong clicked it and saw that the avatar was Kakarot from Dragon Ball.

He applied to add the other party as a friend.

Friesen passed quickly and took the initiative to send a message to say hello, "Hello, Smile."

Chen Qingrong, "Smile, hello, I'm Chen Qingrong, the general manager of Chen Tangguan Design Co., Ltd. I'm here to meet you. Are you still at the airport?"

Friesen, "Hello, Mr. Chen, your lover has just told me that I am waiting at Exit C of the airport."

Chen Qingrong, "Wait a moment, as long as there is no traffic jam, I will be there soon."

Friesen: "Ok, no hurry, drive slowly."

Chen Qingrong did not reply.

After leaving the company building, Chen Qingrong drove to the airport to pick up Friesen.

After arriving at the airport, he sent a message directly to Friesen, telling him his license plate number and the color of his car, and asked him to come and look for it. Friesen agreed.

After waiting for about five minutes, Chen Qingrong heard someone knocking on the window.

He turned his head and looked out the window on the left, and saw a man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses waving at him with a smile.

Chen Qingrong quickly opened the door and walked down, extending his hand. "Is this Mr. Friesen? Hello, hello."

"Hey Lei, my common law is not very accurate, see you see you see you."

Friesen shook hands and greeted Chen Qingrong in very standard Cantonese.

However, his smile was quite friendly, at least Chen Qingrong had a pretty good first impression of him.

A person's first impression is the most important in interpersonal communication.

Some people give people a very bad first impression, which makes people have no desire to get to know them any further, but some people give people a very good first impression, which makes people really want to continue chatting with them.

This thing is very metaphysical.

And Friesen obviously belongs to the latter.

"It's okay. Where's your luggage?" Chen Qingrong expressed his understanding and asked.

Friesen laughed and said, "I didn't bring a suitcase for a long time. I just brought my own briefcase. Just one briefcase is enough."

"Oh, then get in the car first, I'll take you to the hotel."

"Thank you very much."

After getting in the car, Chen Qingrong asked Friesen to fasten his seat belt before driving off again.

On the way, Chen Qingrong chatted with him casually, "Mr. Friesen, is this your first time in the mainland?"

Friesen shook his head. "That's not the case, Jay. I've been to Sichuan and Chongqing before. As for Shanghai, this is my first time there."

"The scenery in Sichuan and Chongqing is also beautiful, and the hotpot there is especially delicious."

"Honestly, I don't really like it and I can't get used to it." Friesen smiled awkwardly, "Because the hotpot there is very spicy. After I eat it, my ass hurts a lot."

Chen Qingrong laughed, "Haha, I understand. That's why I always order the shabu-shabu pot every time I eat there."

After a pause, he asked again, "Excuse me, after Miss Nana resigned, was Mr. Liu particularly angry?"

Friesen said cautiously, "I personally don't dare to guess what the boss is thinking. I don't know. However, I feel that it should be more of a regret."

"After all, Nana is a very capable person at work."

"That's true. I've also seen her work ability."

While chatting, Chen Qingrong took Friesen to the hotel he had booked.

Chen Qingrong said he would treat him to dinner in the evening, and Friesen agreed. He also asked Friesen if he wanted to go to the construction site today, but Friesen said he would wait until tomorrow. He was very tired from the flight and wanted to rest in the hotel room and finish the unfinished work in Guangdong Province on the computer.

Chen Qingrong did not force him. After agreeing with him to pick him up in the evening, he left the hotel first.

Before returning to the company, Chen Qingrong bought a durian mille-feuille cake for Tang Xiaoru. When he came to Tang Xiaoru's office with the cake, baby Xiaoru was very surprised.

"How do you know that I'm craving for something? And how do you know that I really want to eat durian mille-feuille today?" Tang Xiaoru stomped her feet excitedly.

Chen Qingrong smiled and placed the cake on her table, then went over and opened the window naturally, "We have such a good understanding, how can I not understand you?"

Tang Xiaoru asked him, "How do you get along with Friesen? Is his Mandarin really as bad as he says he is?"

"It's not bad." Chen Qingrong thought for a moment, "It's not that bad that I can't understand it at all. He just doesn't know how to express some words in Mandarin. Communication is still barrier-free."

"That's right. He always likes to mix Chinese and English. It's a bit annoying."

Tang Xiaoru teased him, "Didn't you say you like watching Hong Kong movies and TVB movies? This is perfect for you to experience how people in Hong Kong movies speak offline."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "Just watch the TV show. Who wants to chat with someone who speaks a mixture of Chinese and English in real life? They seem so pretentious."

After a pause, Chen Qingrong continued, "By the way, I have an appointment with him for dinner tonight. He has come all the way to the Magic City, so we should show our hospitality as hosts."

Tang Xiaoru nodded with a smile, "Well, even if you didn't make this decision, I would still treat him to a meal. He's here, it would be rude not to treat him to a meal."

"Besides, we have always been in contact with Nana. I also asked Nanal about this Frisen on WeChat. Nana only said that Frisen's work ability is very impressive. As for Frisen's way of doing things and his personality, Nana didn't tell me."

"I guess she doesn't want to offend anyone. She can't complain about her former colleagues in front of you, right? If she really did that, I guess you would think of her as a bad woman."

"Am I that kind of person?"

"I am anyway."

Logically speaking, as long as the person was not forced to quit by his colleagues and resigned voluntarily, and then went around telling others all the bad things about his former colleagues after leaving, Chen Qingrong despised such people from the bottom of his heart.

This is the same as breaking up.

As long as neither of you has done anything wrong to the other and the breakup is peaceful, you should not say bad things about your ex to other people after the breakup. This is quite uncultured behavior.

"Okay, okay, go out and get busy." Tang Xiaoru began to rush people away impatiently, "I'm going to start enjoying the delicious durian mille-feuille. By the way, I won't eat lunch, so you can go out and eat by yourself or order takeout."

Chen Qingrong was speechless, "You really forgot your husband after having the durian thousand-layer cake. Don't forget who bought this durian thousand-layer cake for you."

"Oh, so annoying." Tang Xiaoru quickly held up Chen Qingrong's face and kissed him, and said impatiently and perfunctorily, "Alright? You're the best, you're the best husband in the world, now hurry out, otherwise, you'll say that my durian mille-feuille smells like shit again, and I don't want your words to affect my appetite."

Chen Qingrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You said it yourself this time."

Then he went out.

Nothing special happened during the day at the company.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the evening, and Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru left the company first.

As soon as she got in the car, Wang Xiu'e called Tang Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, Mom has something I want to ask for your opinion on."

Tang Xiaoru quickly smiled and said, "Mom, you are the elder, just say whatever you want to say, you don't need to ask for my opinion, I will listen to you."

Wang Xiu'e said seriously, "Hey, that won't do. After all, this concerns your health. I can't make the decision. Well, it's like this. Didn't you have an accidental miscarriage before? I'm very happy that you're pregnant again this time. However, in order to prevent that from happening again, I found a folk method to preserve the fetus. This method requires you to take some special Chinese medicine, so I want to ask you, do you want to try it?"

"Xiao Ru, your body is yours after all. If you don't want to, just tell me. I won't blame you."

Are there any traditional methods to protect the fetus?
Tang Xiaoru didn't quite believe this, so she said directly, "Mom, I think I'd better forget it. I've taken Chinese medicine for a while to get pregnant, and now that I'm finally pregnant, I don't want to take Chinese medicine anymore, but thank you for your kindness."

"Okay, okay, then we won't eat." Wang Xiu'e was very cooperative. "I also think this folk method is a bit unreliable, so I asked for your opinion. Okay, Mom knows you and Xiao Chen are busy, so I won't disturb you. I'll hang up first."

"Mom, do you want to say a few words to Chen Qingrong?"

"What's there to say to that bastard? I'm hanging up now."

"Okay, bye, mom."

"Goodbye~"

The phone hangs up.

Chen Qingrong then spoke, "What Chinese medicine did my mother ask you to take?"

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "It's said to be a folk remedy to protect the fetus, but I also told mom that I don't want to eat it, and mom didn't force me."

Chen Qingrong was speechless. "My mom is such a fool. Why does she always believe in those folk remedies? Modern medicine is so advanced. If there is any disease that cannot be cured by modern medicine, I believe those folk remedies will not work either."

Tang Xiaoru spoke up for her mother-in-law, "You can't say that. Mom has good intentions. I didn't eat anything careless."

"I know she means well, but sometimes good intentions can lead to the wrong results. Anyway, just don't eat it."

"Don't worry, I won't eat it. Chinese medicine is really bitter."

"Ah."

The couple did not go home directly, but went to Yang Bingbing's house.

Ren Furong was not there this time, but Yang Bingbing's mother-in-law and her mother were there. The two old mothers came to see the children. As for Yan Mo, he had something to do during the day and went out.

"This is what you wanted, right?" Tang Xiaoru took out the peripheral items given at the concert from her bag and handed them to Yang Bingbing.

The first purpose of coming here this time was to see the child, and the second purpose was to give this peripheral to Yang Bingbing.

"Thank you, Xiaoru~" Yang Bingbing hugged Tang Xiaoru and kissed her.

Tang Xiaoru wiped her face in disgust and asked, "Why didn't Furong come today? Is there something going on in the store?"

Yang Bingbing smiled evilly and said, "She went on a blind date."

"Blind date?" Tang Xiaoru was a little surprised. "Who did her parents introduce to her?"

Yang Bingbing shook her head, "No, I introduced her to her."

"You introduced her? Was it the one you mentioned last time?"

"No, that guy is too ugly. Furong doesn't like him. The one I introduced to her this time is the son of my agent's friend. He is one year younger than Furong and a real handsome boy, but he doesn't have much money. However, Furong is too obsessed with looks. As soon as she saw his photo, she went to meet him immediately."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Chen Qingrong peeled a banana and took a bite, then suddenly interjected.

Yang Bingbing glanced at him and said, "You are such a vicious guy. We have just started to meet and you are hoping that we won't be together. What kind of vicious heart do you have?"

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "I'm not hoping that she won't succeed. As the old saying goes, a girl one year older than her husband is not a good wife. Sister Furong is just one year older than the young hunk. It's very likely."

Yang Bingbing rolled her eyes. "That's ridiculous. Xiaoru is one year older than you. How did she end up being with you?"

"Yes, I am one year older than you. According to what you said, there is no way we can be together." Tang Xiaoru also agreed.

Chen Qingrong said shamelessly, "Our situations are different. We are a match made in heaven. If we can't be together, it would be a shame to heaven and earth."

"What a mess! I think you just can't stand seeing others doing well." Yang Bingbing poked the air beside him with her finger.

At this time, Mother Yang came out holding Zhongqiu and said to Xiaoru with a smile, "Xiaoru, aren't you pregnant? Come, hug the baby more. People say that pregnant women will be blessed if they hug the baby more. This is good for you and the baby in your belly."

"Okay, I'll hug you, Chunqiu."

Although Tang Xiaoru does not believe in feudal superstition, she really wants to embrace Mid-Autumn Festival.

Why is this child so soft all over?
Who said cats have no bones? It's babies who have no bones.

……

Originally, Yang Bingbing wanted to keep them for dinner, but Tang Xiaoru also said that the couple had to entertain guests in the evening, so Yang Bingbing had no choice but to let them go.

However, before they left, she still forced two boxes of bird's nests into their hands.

"Please help me share some of the food. There is too much at home and we really can't finish it."

"Okay." Chen Qingrong said without hesitation, "After Xiaoru and I have our baby, I will open these two boxes of bird's nests during the full-month banquet and give them back to you as a return gift."

Yang Bingbing was so disgusted that she said, "I'm going to kill you, Chen Dakou!"

After going downstairs and coming to the car, Chen Qingrong first opened the trunk and put the two boxes of bird's nests in it, and then returned to the car.

Then they drove off to pick up Friesen.

Tang Xiaoru had already booked a restaurant on the way. After picking up Friesen, Xiaoru exchanged a few simple words with him, and the three of them went into the restaurant.

After we sat down, the food was quickly served and the atmosphere gradually became lively as people toasted each other.

Chen Qingrong said, "Mr. Friesen, I will take you to the construction site tomorrow. After all, you have just arrived in Shanghai and are not familiar with the place. It is your first time and I will take you there first. I will introduce you to the person in charge assigned by our company there."

"Just call me Friesen." Friesen clinked glasses with him first, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."

"It's a small matter, a small matter."

Chen Qingrong and Friesen were the ones drinking the whole night, while baby Xiaoru was drinking Nutri-Express.

One reason is that she still has to drive, and the other is that she is pregnant and cannot drink alcohol.

After Friesen drank too much, he started to talk a lot, and Chen Qingrong unknowingly asked him a lot of questions.

From Friesen's words, we learned that Mr. Liu had recently encountered a small financial crisis, and there was a small hole of about 3 billion yuan in his account. However, this small hole was nothing to Mr. Liu, it just made him a little annoyed.

Friesen also said that after Nana left, Mr. Liu hired a new life assistant, and no matter how she dressed or behaved, she was a carbon copy of Nana.

This reminded Chen Qingrong of a sentence.

After you left, your shadow is in everyone I love.

So, is Mr. Liu looking for a substitute for Bai Yueguang?

He and Nana don't have that kind of relationship.

We started dinner at 7:30 and finished at 9:40.

Friesen was completely drunk, so Chen Qingrong and the others could only send him back to his hotel room to rest. After settling him down, the couple prepared to leave.

Chen Qingrong suddenly came up with an idea and said, "Do you think we should do something bad in Friesen's hotel room? It feels exciting."

Tang Xiaoru's mouth twitched, and she said faintly, "Why is this plot a bit like a drunk subordinate being sent home by his boss, and then the boss becomes attracted to the subordinate's beautiful wife, and then something unspeakable happens."

Chen Qingrong was amused. "I told you that you have seen a lot of them, you little bitch."

"The lower man!"

However, fantasy aside, Chen Qingrong ultimately did not let baby Xiaoru do bad things with him in Friesen's hotel room.

Because that's really weird.

After returning home, Chen Qingrong took a basin of hot water to wash baby Xiaoru's feet.

Now that the weather is getting colder, women's feet are naturally cold. If you don't wash their feet with hot water at night, she will definitely stuff her feet into your clothes after going to bed.

Besides, for pregnant women, keeping warm is also important.

After washing and wiping her feet, Chen Qingrong carried baby Xiaoru back to bed.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on. Tang Xiaoru comfortably lifted the quilt and crawled in. She covered herself with the quilt and glanced at Chen Qingrong who was helping her charge her tablet computer.

She suddenly sighed, "Chen Qingrong, sometimes I feel like you are like my father."

Chen Qingrong turned around and asked, "Do you mean that I am the husband of the father?"

"Well, a little bit."

"I don't want it." Chen Qingrong shook his head, "I am obviously your little puppy."

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "You are neither small nor small. If you must be a dog, then be a big wild dog, big and wild."

"Big wild dog... Damn, why does it sound like a curse? Are you sure you're not cursing me?"

"I'm praising you, how could I be scolding you?"

"Okay." Chen Qingrong didn't argue with her and got on the bed, "Get ready for bed, wife."

Tang Xiaoru asked him again, "Are you not typing anymore?"

Chen Qingrong said decisively, "You are pregnant now, why should I focus on writing? I can just write a little when I have nothing to do in the company during the day. I don't care how many words I can update every day. I don't need that little money."

"You are getting cocky. You said when your first book was first published that as long as the average subscription was 500, you would write 10,000 words a day until the website went bankrupt. Now, your new book has almost 10,000 subscriptions, but your updates have slowed down."

"The last book is the last book, and this book is this book. How can the meal you ate yesterday be compared with the shit you took today?"

"Yue, disgusting!"

"Go to sleep." Chen Qingrong held her in his arms, and Tang Xiaoru drew circles on his chest with her little finger. "We have to find time to go to the new house again. I am already looking forward to the time when our family of three will live in the new house."

"I am looking forward too."

"What do you think our children will do when they grow up? Will they inherit our legacy?"

"When our children grow up, will there still be a career in design?" Chen Qingrong smiled, gently touched Tang Xiaoru's belly, and asked softly, "Baby, baby, what kind of job do you plan to do when you grow up?"

Suddenly, he was a little surprised, "Wife, the baby kicked me!"

Tang Xiaoru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The baby is still an embryo. I'm not going to kick your head. It's my stomach that's growling. I'm a little hungry again."

"Are you hungry again?" Chen Qingrong immediately sat up a little, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you right now."

Tang Xiaoru thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat clams, but not the spicy kind. I want the light kind of clams and vermicelli soup."

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, "Um, can we choose ingredients we have at home?"

"But I just want to eat clams."

"Then I'll order takeout for you?"

"Do you want your child to start eating technology and hard work before he's even born?" Tang Xiaoru raised her eyebrows. Chen Qingrong said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll go buy it for you right away."

"Forget it, I was just kidding. Don't make so much trouble. Just make me some egg noodles." Tang Xiaoru then gently twisted Chen Qingrong's arm and said with a smile.

She knew Chen Qingrong. Since she had asked to eat clams, he might really run out to buy clams so late at night.

Even if the supermarket is closed at this time, where can he buy clams for himself?

Tang Xiaoru considers herself to be a caring person, so how could she bear to torture her husband like that?
"Little naughty girl." Chen Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief, gently poked Tang Xiaoru's nose, and said, "Then lie on the bed, I'll make noodles for you first, don't fall asleep."

"Don't worry, I'm not sleepy yet."

"Well, wait."

Chen Qingrong lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He just put on a coat and didn't even wear pants because he thought it was too troublesome.

Tang Xiaoru joked, "A coat on top and underwear on the bottom, honey, you are quite good at dressing."

"Is your husband's fashion sense a joke?"

After Chen Qingrong said this shamelessly, he went to the kitchen.

After he cooked the noodles and brought them to the room, he found baby Xiaoru playing Candy Crush on a tablet.

She is quite good at playing these kinds of casual games, but once she plays competitive games like CS and League of Legends, her clumsy nature is exposed.

It seems that girls are not as good as boys at playing competitive games.

Of course, these are Chen Qingrong’s own opinions.

"The noodles are ready, come and eat."

Chen Qingrong greeted him, walked over with the noodles and placed them on the bedside table.

There are two bedside tables in the bedroom. The bedside table on Chen Qingrong's side is used to place their clothes, socks and the like, while the bedside table on Tang Xiaoru's side is used to place her own mobile phone, charger and the like.

"It smells so good." Tang Xiaoru's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. She opened her mouth and said, "Feed me. I haven't finished this stage yet."

"alright."

Chen Qingrong first rolled up a small handful of noodles with chopsticks, let the noodles wrap around the chopsticks, and then put it to his mouth and blew gently.

Whether he is eating dried noodles or instant noodles, he likes to roll them up like this. He extremely dislikes using chopsticks to pick up noodles one by one and put them into his mouth to eat, because he thinks that way of eating is slower.

It is more enjoyable to eat it rolled up like this. Not only can you eat more at one time, but most importantly, you will feel fuller.

"Ah~ Here comes the flying stick~"

Chen Qingrong pinched his throat and shouted, then used chopsticks to imitate an airplane spinning twice in the air and brought the chopsticks to Tang Xiaoru's mouth.

Tang Xiaoru opened her mouth, bit it, and then ate the noodles into her mouth.

"Hmm, it seems a bit salty. Did you put too much salt?" Tang Xiaoru smacked her lips gently and then asked.

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "No, I know you don't like salt when eating noodles. So, do you want more?"

"Yes, but I want to eat eggs this time."

"Okay, I'll clip it for you."

That night, Chen Qingrong turned into a nanny. He patiently fed Tang Xiaoru and then went to bed and held her in his arms to sleep.

The next morning, the couple went to the company.

When it was noon, Chen Qingrong drove to pick up Friesen and went to the construction site. After arriving at the construction site, he introduced him to Baosen.

Next, Bao Sen took them to visit the construction site.

The progress of the construction site is relatively fast. It can be said that if you don’t come for a while, the building will be much taller.

After the tour, Friesen went to the bathroom first.

Bao Sen took the opportunity to ask Chen Qingrong, "Mr. Chen, is Mr. Friesen a returned overseas student? Why do I feel his Mandarin is so strange?"

Chen Qingrong shrugged. "That's standard Cantonese-Mandarin. What's so strange about that? Anyway, he will be handed over to you from now on. He's a newcomer. You should guide him and make sure he doesn't make any mistakes."

Bao Sen said helplessly, "Okay, okay, oh, I'm already beginning to miss Miss Nana. Miss Nana is so beautiful and speaks standard Mandarin. I really miss the days of working with her."

Chen Qingrong said with a smile, "Your Miss Nana has gone to the Northeast to meet her online lover. I guess you will hardly see her again in this life. Accept your fate, Baosen. You are destined to be single for the rest of your life."

"Mr. Chen, you are so vicious."

"You said your boss is vicious, right? Your bonus for this month is gone."

"Do not!!!!"

This time, Chen Qingrong mainly brought Friesen here to familiarize himself with the environment. Now that the goal has been achieved, he left first.

As for how Friesen will get back to the hotel afterwards, that depends on him.

He is not a three-year-old child anymore, it is impossible that he does not even have this ability, right?

During lunch, Ni Shengnan personally brought milk tea to Chen Qingrong and the others. The milk tea was ordered by Xiaoru Baby, firstly to support the new products in Ni Shengnan's store, and secondly to take this opportunity to chat with Ni Shengnan.

Chen Qingrong didn't want to disturb the sisters' chat, so she went back to her workstation to type. Only Tang Xiaoru and her were left in the office.

"How have you been these past two days? Have you been to Dr. Yan again?"

"I haven't been there yet." Ni Shengnan shook his head and continued, "But I added Dr. Yan's WeChat. If there's anything, I can talk to him on WeChat. He's slow to reply. Sometimes he might not reply to my message until the evening."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Please be considerate. He has to take care of the clinic and breastfeed the baby at home. How can he have so much free time?"

Ni Shengnan suddenly said quietly, "I really envy Sister Bingbing. Now she has such a happy family. I also envy you, Sister Xiaoru. Not only you, but it seems that every girl around me is happier than me."

"Don't say that. You are busy running your own business now. Isn't that also a kind of happiness? Don't forget what Sun Cheng said to you when he was alive. You have to live well with his hope for life."

Tang Xiaoru grabbed Ni Shengnan's hand and said seriously.

Ni Shengnan suddenly made a joke, "Sister Xiaoru, do you dare to touch my hand now? If it were before, you wouldn't dare to have such physical contact with me."

Tang Xiaoru was also amused, "Who told you to play that trick before? If you were me at that time, you would be scared too."

"That's true. Falling in love with a straight girl seems to be a very tragic thing. Fortunately, I have corrected myself now. No, it can't be called correction. At most, I have changed."

"Yes, it's a change, not a correction. After all, you didn't make any mistakes before."

Calcium is not a mistake.

Although Ni Shengnan's pursuit of her had troubled her before, she had never regarded Ni Shengnan as an alien, either then or now.

The day passed quickly.

After getting off work in the evening, Chen Qingrong drove Xiaoru to their new home to have a look. When he was at the new home, he received a call from Zhou Tianyi.

"Brother Chen, I'm going to meet that girl tonight. Are you free tonight?"

"So fast? Your efficiency is too high, isn't it?" Chen Qingrong was a little surprised, and then asked, "Where did you agree to meet?"

Zhou Tianyi, "It's a script-killing shop called Waterside. She booked the place. It's at 8 o'clock tonight."

Chen Qingrong glanced at his watch and said, "Okay, I'll be there on time. By the way, Gao Qiang will go tonight too?"

"He has to go, so you all have to be there to be my bodyguards and cheer him on."

"You wimp, you're a grown man, but you still need two bodyguards to meet a female netizen. Aren't you ashamed?"

"She brought her friends too."

"Oh?" Chen Qingrong was stunned. "She brought her best friend?"

Zhou Tianyi said, "Yes, she said she would bring her best friend with her. Maybe she was worried that it would be unsafe to meet me alone."

Chen Qingrong smiled, "That's good. Girls are also very safety-conscious. That's it. See you tonight."

"Ok!"

"Who called you?"

Tang Xiaoru came to him at this time.

Chen Qingrong told her what happened.

Tang Xiaoru was amused after hearing this, "So that's what's going on. Then go over there tonight and take a look at what Tianyi's female netizen looks like. Don't let him get cheated out of money by that female netizen like he did before."

Chen Qingrong was a little worried. "If I'm not at home, can you eat and drink well? Or should I send you to our parents?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "No, just send me to Bingbing's house. Bingbing just sent me a WeChat message. She said Furong will also be there tonight, and asked me to go and listen to Furong's story about her blind date."

Chen Qingrong smiled, "That's fine, then when I'm done tonight, I'll come pick you up."

"Well, maybe I'll sleep at Bingbing's house tonight. Anyway, we'll see then." Tang Xiaoru shook her neck and said suddenly, "I'll make an appointment with a masseur. Can you accompany me for a massage? My cervical spine is starting to hurt again."

"it is good."

Tang Xiaoru is very efficient and she made an appointment right away at a famous health club in Shanghai.

An hour later, the two arrived at someone's health club.

It is said that this health club has won some awards. Anyway, its reputation on Meituan is very high. Many people praise it as a miracle doctor. They all said that they used to have pain all over their body, but after being massaged by the masseur in this shop, all their ailments are gone.

When Chen Qingrong saw those reviews, his first reaction was that this store had gone too far in hiring internet trolls.

All of them are positive reviews. After searching for a long time, you may only find one or two two-star negative reviews. Isn't this hiring internet trolls?
The time period they agreed upon happened to be when the masseur was free.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a white coat and having a Mediterranean hairstyle. He looks very strong and powerful.

"Boss, please find someone else to massage my husband's back. He has severe back pain." Tang Xiaoru said to the boss.

Chen Qingrong was startled and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, forget it. My body is too fragile. I still don't want to massage."

He was not used to strangers touching his body, let alone giving him a massage, which was said to be very painful.

Tang Xiaoru tugged at his arm and pouted, "Hey, now that you're here, just give me a massage. Didn't you complain to me about your back pain a few days ago? Let the master give you a massage and you'll feel better."

"This……"

"Sir, you seem to have a bit of a forward lean. You really need massage to correct it. Otherwise, your waist will get more and more painful. Don't worry, our masseurs are all licensed and certified. They are absolutely safe and reliable, and they won't hurt much."

The shop owner saw Chen Qingrong's concerns and interrupted him.

Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, please arrange for a masseur with the weakest strength here, because I don't really tolerate pain, and I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the pain later."

The shop owner nodded while suppressing a smile.

Soon, the couple's massage journey began.

The masseur who gave Tang Xiaoru a massage was a female masseur, while the masseur assigned to Chen Qingrong was a male masseur. However, he was tall and thin, and did not look like the strong type at all. So Chen Qingrong immediately relaxed his guard after seeing him.

This masseur doesn't look as big as him. How strong can he be?
As the old saying goes, a big body means strong strength. A 200-pound fat man can crush a lean muscular man to death just by pressing, even if he has never done any strength training.

As long as the masseur is not particularly burly, Chen Qingrong is not afraid at all.

But he miscalculated, and miscalculated badly.

After taking off his shirt and lying on the bed, Chen Qingrong started howling as soon as the masseur started working.

Is this a massage?
This is simply a form of punishment!

"Gently, gently, don't use too much force, ah!" Chen Qingrong howled like a ghost.

Fortunately, the sound insulation of the private room is relatively good, otherwise Chen Qingrong would be embarrassed.

Tang Xiaoru in the next bed laughed like a rooster, gloating and saying, "Hubby, you are too weak, aren't you? You are not as tolerant as me? The way you struggle now, you look like a pig to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year."

Chen Qingrong was in so much pain that he didn't even have the energy to argue with her.

The masseur pointed out the key to the problem. "This is mainly because the gentleman's body is too tired, so he feels so painful. This is the same as scraping. The more dampness there is and the more tired the person is, the more sha will be scraped out."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely help you relieve your fatigue."

"No, I'm not lacking at all, ah, shit!"

……

More than an hour later, Chen Qingrong limped out of the health club.

Tang Xiaoru was almost laughing to death following him.

Chen Qingrong turned around and glared at her resentfully, "You are satisfied now, proud Tang Xiaoru, you just can't stand my goodness, you have to torture me to be happy, right?"

Tang Xiaoru suppressed her smile, took his arm and acted coquettishly with him, "Oh, how could you think of me like this? I really care about you. You also heard what the masseur said. You are in so much pain because your body is too tired."

"Besides, this is how massage is. It hurts now, but when you wake up the next day, you will know how comfortable it is. I felt the same way when I had my first massage, and then I slowly fell in love with this feeling. Believe me, my experience is not wrong."

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, "Will I be able to live until tomorrow? I feel like I'm going to die in pain tonight."

Snapped.

Tang Xiaoru slapped him on the back and said with disgust, "Aren't you ashamed? You're a grown man and it hurts like this. The first time I did something bad to you, I didn't walk as hard as you did. Can you still feel as much pain as I did then?"

Chen Qingrong said awkwardly, "Well, it seems that these two kinds of pain cannot be compared together."

"Why can't we compare them together?" Tang Xiaoru blinked and blushed as she whispered, "Aren't they both painful at the beginning, but become very pleasurable later on? They're the same."

"Well, for you, this is your first time here, so you're not used to it. You'll be fine if you come a few more times in the future."

"Ah? I want to come again?"

"Yes." Tang Xiaoru nodded seriously and said distressedly, "You sit in front of the computer for several hours every day, which hurts your spine. More massage is good for your body. I feel sorry for you, not to cheat you."

Chen Qingrong was a little unconvinced, "Don't you also sit in front of the computer every day? How come you are fine?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, "Do I have a hunchback like you?"

"This……"

Chen Qingrong really had nothing to say.

Whenever he sits in front of the computer, he will subconsciously hunch his back. Even if he forces himself to keep his head and chest out at the beginning, his body will unconsciously bend as he sits for a while.

Seeing that he was speechless, Tang Xiaoru continued to lecture him, "You really need to get rid of your bad habit of hunching over, otherwise when you are in your fifties or sixties, you will definitely have a hunchback, which will be bad."

Chen Qingrong said helplessly, "That being said, it's not something that can be changed overnight. To be honest, I don't know when I started to develop this bad habit."

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "Fortunately you didn't hunch over when you walked, otherwise you would be completely doomed."

Hunching your back while sitting in front of a computer may at most make you look wretched, but hunching your back while walking is not only wretched, it also seriously affects a person's temperament.

Time passed quickly. Chen Qingrong first sent Xiaoru to Yang Bingbing's house in the evening, and then he drove to the store called Shui'an that Zhou Tianyi told him about.

He first found a parking place and parked the car. After getting out of the car, he crossed the road while calling Zhou Tianyi to ask him where he was. Zhou Tianyi told him that he and Gao Qiang were waiting for him at the door.

Chen Qingrong hung up the phone and ran over quickly.

"God's will, Gao Qiang."

"Brother Chen (Old Chen)!"

The two of them greeted him with a smile.

Chen Qingrong noticed that Zhou Tianyi had obviously dressed up tonight. He wore a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was combed neatly. He looked very serious.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Chen Qingrong didn't understand. "The girl asked you to come to a place where she plays script-killing games, just to relax. You're dressed like you're going to a wedding, which is not appropriate for a place like this."

Gao Qiang nodded vigorously, "Old Chen, you hit the nail on the head. This is what I told him when I first saw him."

Zhou Tianyi said a little awkwardly, "I just wanted to dress up to be more serious for this meeting, how about one of you two switch with me?"

They both shook their heads simultaneously.

"You should still dress like this. Although it's not ideal, your looks can still make up for it a little."

"Yeah."

"..."

Zhou Tianyi was speechless for a while.

In order to avoid exchanging with him, these two people said such nonsense.

Chen Qingrong looked at Gao Qiang again, "Why do you look so haggard? Especially the dark circles under your eyes. Have you not been sleeping well recently?"

Gao Qiang said angrily, "It's all because of you. Last time you told me that my sister-in-law was pregnant, I was so upset that I suggested to our Su Su that we should have no condoms in the future, and she agreed. But it would have been fine if she hadn't agreed. Now that she has agreed, she turns into a berserker every night, and I can't take it anymore. It's all your fault."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It's none of my business. You proposed it to your wife, and I see you're obviously enjoying it."

"I don't!"

"Tsk, have you two come to any conclusions now?"

"No." Gao Qiang shook his head and sighed, "Alas, having a child is a kind of metaphysics, it's not that smooth. Anyway, I'm planning to persuade Susu to slow down. If this continues, she won't get pregnant yet, and I might die young."

Chen Qingrong ignored him and asked Zhou Tianyi again, "Is that girl here?"

Zhou Tianyi took out his phone and took a look. "Twenty minutes ago, she said that she and her bestie had already gone to a certain place. She hasn't sent me a message yet. I guess it will take a while."

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and said, "Then let's sit in the hall for a while. You can send a WeChat message to the girl later. After we confirm that she is coming, we will go out to greet them."

"Alright."

The three brothers went into the hall first.

Zhou Tianyi first went to redeem the coupons he bought on Meituan, and then the three of them sat on the sofa and started waiting.

Chen Qingrong asked curiously again, "Do you have a photo of that girl? I haven't seen it yet."

Gao Qiang suddenly remembered, "Yes, yes, take out the photo and have a look. I haven't seen it either."

"Yes, that's her WeChat profile picture."

Zhou Tianyi took out his cell phone again and opened WeChat. After finding the girl’s WeChat, he clicked on the avatar and handed the phone to Chen Qingrong.

Chen Qingrong took it and looked at it, and couldn't help smacking his lips, "Wow, she's very beautiful. No wonder she's called Fang Huimin. She does look a bit like Zhou Huimin."

"Indeed, she has the feeling of a retro goddess from the 1980s and 1990s." Gao Qiang also nodded.

Chen Qingrong changed his profile picture, glanced at the girl's WeChat name, and almost laughed out loud.

"Is Nuan Yangyang not as popular as me? This name is quite abstract."
