First spoiled, then love

Chapter 584 Hell Joke
"Don't you mean the same thing?"

"It's different. We women don't just have the right to marry. We can also marry men. Otherwise, where do all those live-in sons-in-law come from?"

"The most important thing you should do now is to quickly uninstall your Tomato Novel."

"..."

Tang Xiaoru gritted her teeth in anger.

Suddenly she changed the subject, "Speaking of novels, your book has been on hiatus for half a month, are you still going to write?"

Chen Qingrong pouted and said, "I will definitely write it, but I don't feel like writing it right now. Anyway, I have already told Editor-in-Chief Xing, and she won't rush me."

"What about your readers? Didn't they scold you in the group?"

"How should I put it? My reputation among readers is just like that of Three Kingdoms Kill. It's a rave review."

After arriving at the place, Chen Qingrong first found a place to park the car, then took Tang Xiaoru into the hotel, asked the waiter, and successfully found the private room under the waiter's guidance.

They were not the first to arrive. Liang Qingyun and his wife came before them, and they indeed brought Yuanyuan with them.

"Brother Chen, sister-in-law, you are here. Sister-in-law, please sit down, don't stand."

"Brother Erhu, sister-in-law."

The couple quickly greeted them.

Tang Xiaoru smiled and went over to sit next to Xiaoyuan, then gently grabbed Yuanyuan's hand, "Yuanyuan, do you still recognize me?"

Yuanyuan could not speak but babbled, just grinning.

The smile of a baby is quite healing. No matter what troubles you encounter, as long as you see their smile, you will feel happy instantly.

"so cute."

Tang Xiaoru's maternal love burst out again and she kept teasing Yuanyuan.

Chen Qingrong said, "Why do I find that Yuanyuan has become much fatter than before?"

"It's normal. This little bastard is a big eater. His appetite is much larger than other babies of the same age. Fortunately, I asked the doctor and he confirmed that this is normal. Otherwise, I would have thought he had some kind of gluttony."

Liang Qingyun said with a smile.

Chen Qingrong nodded and agreed, "It's a good thing for the baby to be able to eat. After all, he is still growing. The more he eats, the faster he grows. You and Xiaoyuan are not short. I estimate that he will definitely be 1.8 meters tall when he grows up."

"Only 1.8 meters?"

"What? You're not satisfied even though your son has grown to 1.8 meters tall?"

"I think 1.80 meters is still a little short. I hope he can grow to at least 1.9 meters. Then I can send him to play basketball." Liang Qingyun began to look forward to it.

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "That won't work. You didn't abandon Xiaoyuan and her son and run away. Your son can't play basketball. He doesn't have the template of a protagonist."

Liang Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter after he realized what was happening, "Hahahaha, Brother Erhu, you are so mean, this joke is really too fucking hellish."

"What joke? What are you two talking about?" Tang Xiaoru was a little curious.

Chen Qingrong smiled dryly and waved his hands, "Nothing, nothing."

"Pretending to be a ghost."

Tang Xiaoru curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Tianyi and his wife, as well as Gao Qiang and his wife, also arrived.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became lively.

Tang Xiaoru saw that Fang Huimin's belly had also grown bigger, and asked in surprise, "Huimin, you've only been pregnant for a few months, why is your belly so big? Are you pregnant with twins too?"

Fang Huimin shook her head and said with some regret, "Although I really want to learn from you, Sister Xiaoru, and get pregnant with twins in one step, I really only got one baby. The doctor said that I ate too much, but I just couldn't control myself and couldn't help wanting to eat more."

"Eat as much as you want, as long as it doesn't affect the health of you and your baby. We're pregnant now, so can't we enjoy ourselves?"

"That's right, Huimin, Sister Xiaoru is right, you can eat whatever you want. I also ate a lot when I was pregnant with Yuanyuan."

In fact, in terms of age, Fang Huimin is one year older than Xiaoyuan.

But because Liang Qingyun is four months older than Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang calls him "brother", so Huimin also follows suit and calls her "Sister Xiaoyuan".

After a brief greeting, Liang Qingyun called the waiter to start serving the dishes.

The dishes had been ordered in advance and the kitchen had started preparing them before they arrived. Now, when they called for the dishes, they started to be brought in one after another soon.

A group of people started chatting while eating.

We talked about some daily things.

Because there was a pregnant woman and a baby, there was no smell of cigarettes or alcohol in the entire private room. The smell was so fresh.

After they had almost finished eating, Liang Qingyun and the others began to announce serious matters.

"It's very simple actually. I discussed it with Xiaoyuan and decided to use our company's name to create a sanitary napkin brand. This idea was also Xiaoyuan's idea, and I support her."

"what?"

Tang Xiaoru's reaction was quite strong.

Xiao Yuan quickly asked tentatively, "What's wrong, sister-in-law, do you think this is not feasible?"

Chen Qingrong smiled and continued, "No, it's because your sister-in-law just told me a few days ago that she also wanted to make sanitary napkins. I didn't expect that you also wanted to do it. This is not a coincidence, isn't it? You have become competitors directly."

"What a coincidence?" Xiaoyuan was also a little surprised.

Tang Xiaoru said, "They don't have to be competitors, they can also be partners. I'm planning to ask Bingbing to join us, and I'm discussing it with her. Xiaoyuan, if you're willing, we can work together. It just so happens that Qingyun and his team have their own factory, which can be used after some renovation."

"Let Bingbing be the spokesperson, and your factory will ship the products. I will be in charge of designing the logo and purchasing the raw materials with you. How great would that be."

Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, that's settled. Let's find a time to discuss the specific steps."

"What do you think, husband?"

"I have no objection. My sister-in-law is a mature female entrepreneur. If you work with her, it will save me a lot of worries."

"Wow."

At this time Yuanyuan suddenly burst into tears.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Even Yuan Yuan said it's a good idea."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed together.

Only Fang Huimin felt a little uncomfortable. When she returned home after dinner, Fang Huimin was still a little unhappy sitting in the car.

Zhou Tianyi noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he asked tentatively, "What's wrong, honey? Are you unhappy about something?"

Fang Huimin said helplessly, "It's nothing, actually. I just saw that Sister Xiaoru and Sister Xiaoyuan both have their own careers, and I will be a housewife after giving birth, so I feel a little weird."

"Are you interested in what they want to do? Then you can join in."

"I don't have the capital. Sister Xiaoru is the boss of her own company, and Sister Xiaoyuan has the support of her husband. How can I afford to join in? I can't just rely on being thick-skinned."

"I don't like what you said. You have my support." Zhou Tianyi said seriously, "You know my parents' attitude towards us. Besides, even if I don't rely on them, my own savings are enough."

Fang Huimin shook her head. "Forget it. This is not about money. The main thing is that they didn't invite me. Besides, I don't know anything about starting a business. I can't just be a shareholder who pays money but doesn't do anything, right?"

“Uh, isn’t that how all shares are bought?”

"But I don't want to be that kind of person. I also want to be a useful person. I also want to cultivate myself. Forget it. I don't know what to say. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Hui Min..."

"It's okay, don't worry about me. I'm not angry. I can handle it myself. Let me think about it. I've been in a daze for so many years. I don't expect to wake up all of a sudden. I'll take care of my body first. The most important thing is to give birth to the baby safely."

"Well, that's fine." Zhou Tianyi nodded and continued, "I just want you to know that no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Fang Huimin smiled and said, "I knew you were the best to me."

Chen Qingrong and the others also returned home at this time.

Because it was getting late, my parents went back home early to rest.

Tang Xiaoru sat on a chair, and Chen Qingrong squatted down to change her slippers.

This is not because Tang Xiaoru is being pretentious or anything, it's mainly because her belly is too big now and it's really inconvenient for her to bend down.

Besides, even if she was really being pretentious, Chen Qingrong wouldn't bother with her. She was his wife, so what was wrong with him squatting down to change her slippers?

There are women who can be spoiled by men, but Tang Xiaoru is definitely not that kind of person.

Chen Qingrong is quite confident about this.

"I didn't expect that Madoka and the others would invite us to dinner, mainly to talk about this matter. I thought there was some other important matter."

"Didn't you hear what Xiaoyuan said? She just said this incidentally. The main reason is that she thinks we haven't gotten together for a long time and we should get together." Tang Xiaoru smiled, thought for a moment, and then said, "I found that Xiaoyuan has become much more stable since she became a mother. She seems to have a layer of maternal love around her, which makes me want to get closer to her."

"For a moment, I was in a trance, as if she was older than me and she was my sister."

"This is the charm of maternal love. You already have it now. I often feel that you are older than me."

"I am actually one year older than you." Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Don't take this opportunity to complain. I am older than you."

Chen Qingrong chuckled, "It's just a joke. Anyway, you won't feel inferior just because you are one year older than me."

"Why should I feel inferior? I have everything I want. I'm not a worthless leftover woman. There's no need for me to feel inferior."

"By the way, pour me a glass of orange juice. I want to drink orange juice."

"It's not the kids who want to drink this time?"

"No, I really want to drink this time."

"Ah."

Chen Qingrong was too lazy to tease her and went to pour her orange juice.

After Tang Xiaoru finished drinking the orange juice, Chen Qingrong asked her if she wanted to soak her feet, but she refused, so Chen Qingrong helped her to go to bed to rest.

Because she wanted to video chat with Ni Shengnan and Yang Bingbing, she sent Chen Qingrong to the next room so as not to disturb her in the bedroom.

So Chen Qingrong went to the next room and started typing.

It is true that he has not updated for more than half a month. He no longer reads or replies to the messages in the QQ group. He is even too lazy to read the comments in this chapter because they are all scolding him. He is not from the alphabet circle, so why should he go and get scolded?

Chen Qingrong calmed down and wrote five thousand words, then stretched hard to relax his stiff shoulders and neck, and then published the newly written five thousand words together.

"Damn, I forgot to divide the chapters."

"If I release all 5,000 words at once, readers will complain that I update too little. But if I release them separately, 2,500 words at a time, that would be like adding more chapters. What a cheapskate I am."

Chen Qingrong pounded the computer desk twice, feeling as if he had missed out on a hundred million.

Just then, Shui Ling, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, actually sent him a WeChat message.

"Teacher Chen, I saw you just updated a chapter after a long absence. Does this mean you are going to make a comeback?"

"I never retired, I was just too busy and didn't have time to update."

"Smile, it seems that you are really too busy. You have forgotten what we discussed before."

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "What's the matter?"

Shui Ling, "Wei Xiao, I discussed with you before I resigned. When I got to the new position, you opened a small account to publish a new book on our website to help me boost sales. What happened? Until now, you haven't sent me the beginning of the new book. You have become famous and a great writer, and you have forgotten the comradeship we had in the past."

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched.

Oh shit.

He really had forgotten something that happened so long ago.

Chen Qingrong explained, "I have to take care of my pregnant wife every day, I really forgot, and you too, why didn't you remind me?"

Shui Ling, "Jeong, I wanted to remind you at first, but now I'm done with editing, so I'll just forget it now."

Chen Qingrong, "Ah? You resigned again?"

Shui Ling, "Well, I thought I would feel much more comfortable after becoming the editor-in-chief of the new website. I didn't expect that I would be scolded more than before when I was the responsible editor. I had to personally handle everything. When the responsible editor under me made a mistake, I would be scolded. If I made a mistake myself, I would be scolded twice as much. During the month I was at the new website, I almost became depressed, so I quit my job."

Chen Qingrong began to sympathize with her just by reading the text she sent.

She is not going there to be a manager, she is going there to be a grandson!

Chen Qingrong asked curiously, "What kind of job are you doing now?"

Shui Ling, "I'm not working anymore. I'm back home looking for a blind date. My ultimate goal now is to find a handsome and rich husband and get married as soon as possible. Then I won't have to work anymore."

"My mother was right. A woman's greatest achievement is to marry well. I was too young before and didn't understand the value of this sentence."

Chen Qingrong, "Then I wish you success. Remember to treat me to the wedding wine when you get married."

Shui Ling, "Don't worry, you are so rich, I must be thinking of your red envelope. Besides, I will go to the Magic City again in two days, will you treat me?"
