Age: My Small World

Being a chef is, of course, impossible.

Yang Jun shook his head, stopped eating, finished the last grain of rice in his bowl, and put the bowl down.

He took a sip of water from his glass and let out a long sigh.

It's so satisfying to be full.

"Miss Xu, just tell me what kind of help you need. We've already eaten."

Xu Shanshan first looked at his stomach, but it didn't seem to have changed at all, so she looked up at his eyes.

She elegantly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief while giving Yang Jun a disdainful look.

"Don't you understand why a woman is calling you home? It's not good to play dumb."

"I thought you needed someone to change a light bulb."

Yang Jun made a joke.

Xu Shanshan smiled and said, "That's perfect. The bedroom light might need to be replaced. Come on, let's go upstairs and take a look."

Yang Jun seemed to have no suspicions and followed Xu Shanshan's swaying figure up to the second floor, arriving at her bedroom.

The bedroom isn't particularly large, but it's still several dozen square meters, almost comparable to other people's thousand-square-foot mansions.

"Go take a shower first, I'll remove my makeup."

The two seemed to have tacitly agreed to make their own preparations.

Soon after, they were entangled together on the sheets.

night.

Under the bright lights, Xu Shanshan leaned on Yang Jun's shoulder, her face flushed, and she even looked happier than ever before.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable."

She was pleasantly surprised; she had unexpectedly struck gold. Not only was he handsome, but he was also…

In short, Xu Shanshan doesn't want to let go.

"so so."

Yang Jun chuckled and waved his hand.

Suddenly, Xu Shanshan seemed to have thought of something, and she sat up and said seriously to Yang Jun, "How about I promote you to act in movies and then make you a TV star? You'll definitely be the most popular person in the whole of Hong Kong then."

The thought of Yang Jun nestled in her arms after he became famous made Xu Shanshan feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, Yang Jun had absolutely no interest in the career she mentioned.

"Actually, I'm not from Gangcheng."

Yang Jun planned to tell part of the truth, but of course, not 100% of it.

So when she learned that he would be leaving Hong Kong soon, Xu Shanshan lowered her eyes slightly.

"Can't you not go back? I'll support you. You don't even have to work anymore, as long as you wait for me to come home every day."

Yang Jun was speechless upon hearing this. What did this woman take him for? She actually wanted to support him.

Even if he doesn't buy into that, he would rather support himself by doing business than be supported by a woman.

So naturally, he refused without hesitation.

"I have a reason why I absolutely must go back."

"But I'm not saying I won't come back in the future. We can continue when I return."

Xu Shanshan immediately crossed her arms over her chest, her face turning cold: "What do you take me for?"

"Do you think I'm a promiscuous woman just because I brought you home so casually?" Yang Jun quickly shook his head.

"of course not."

After the practical experience just now, he could confirm that Xu Shanshan was not the type to bring people home often; in fact, her behavior was somewhat awkward, which surprised Yang Jun greatly.

Xu Shanshan looked at Yang Jun, and finally explained to him with a bit of seriousness.

Then Yang Jun finally learned about Xu Shanshan's past.

She actually has another child, but unfortunately, he is being raised by someone else, so it has nothing to do with her as the mother. She only visits her son at the end of each month.

To be precise, Xu Shanshan's experience is somewhat similar to Gu Nanke's.

Both were arranged marriages, and both husbands died young.

Unfortunately, Gu Nanke faced the prospect of starving to death along with her daughter, while Xu Shanshan's son was being raised by his in-laws. As for her, the daughter-in-law, because her husband's death was her fault, her in-laws treated her as a woman who brought bad luck to her husband, and completely ignored her and stopped contacting her.

If it weren't for her status, they might have kicked her out and cut off all ties with her.

"For the past five years, I've been living like a widow for the person who died, but I can't go my whole life without finding a man. When I met you, I was actually thinking of supporting you, even if it meant I wouldn't let you see anyone in the future."

She also explained the cause of her husband's death.

One night, the two had a conflict, mainly because she found out that the man was having an affair. So Xu Shanshan naturally wanted to make a deal with him, otherwise the family would probably fall apart. Unexpectedly, the man did not take her wishes into consideration at all, and even threatened to bring his mistress home to stay that night.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common in such families, but Xu Shanshan's status is quite special, so the men can't bring other women home at all. Over time, this is what happens when they become too repressed.

Then what happens next is pretty common.

The man was driving his mistress home when they were involved in a car accident, resulting in the deaths of both of them and bringing the family to an end.

Although Xu Shanshan didn't regret arguing afterwards, she felt a little guilty about the man's death, which is why she remained a widow for him for so many years.

But she was still a normal woman after all, and naturally she needed a man, which is why she found Yang Jun.

His initial attire was easy to understand, and coupled with his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, Xu Shanshan's heart, which had been unmoved for a long time, began to flutter.

"Don't worry, I'll come back regularly from now on, so you don't need to look for other men."

Xu Shanshan patted his chest immediately: "Don't think so badly of me. I never intended to find anyone else. Who can compare to you?"

"But tell me the truth, do you have a woman?"

If Yang Jun could gauge her combat strength, Xu Shanshan naturally had some idea as well.

Yang Jun didn't intend to hide it from him, and nodded, saying, "I am indeed married."

Xu Shanshan was speechless for a moment, but not too surprised.

However, since one of them is widowed and the other is single in Hong Kong, they can't really undermine each other.

They tacitly avoided continuing their previous conversation.

Yang Jun then steered the conversation back to doing business.

Xu Shanshan cleverly realized his purpose.

"What? You want to start your own business?"

Yang Jun hummed in agreement.

"I do have that plan, which is why I wanted to learn from your experience."

Xu Shanshan, however, was not optimistic and shook her head, saying, "If you really want to do business, it would be best to make arrangements with the local gangs beforehand, but that's not very safe. The best way is for you to maintain relationships with the upper echelons of the police force."

Yang Jun raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding her meaning. (End of Chapter)
