A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

"Let me take you home, Dr. Zheng."

When Hao Qiangzhuang found Zheng Shuangshuang at the coffee shop, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

Zheng Shuangshuang's expression was clearly off; it was gloomy, and she had been complaining inwardly for a while.

She glanced at the time and realized it was getting late. Since he had offered to take her home, she had no other reason to bother him any further.

Zheng Shuangshuang reluctantly nodded and replied, "Okay!"

Zheng Shuangshuang is staying in a temporary single room arranged by the hospital, which is similar to the furnishings of a small hotel or guesthouse.

Besides a bed, a bedside table, a stool, and a color television, there was nothing else in the room.

Fortunately, there is a separate bathroom and balcony, and hot water is available 24 hours a day.

Hao Qiangzhuang glanced at Zheng Shuangshuang, then lay down on the bed, exhausted, and closed his eyes.

Zheng Shuangshuang glanced thoughtfully at Hao Qiangzhuang lying on her bed, then lowered her head and asked, "Are you staying here tonight?"

"Hmm!" Hao Qiangzhuang responded.

Zheng Shuangshuang's feelings were complicated, but mostly she was excited. At this moment, she was a bit love-struck, perhaps because she had read too many Qiong Yao novels!

Wanting to pursue love wholeheartedly, she excitedly said, "Why don't you go take a shower first?" Then she lowered her head shyly.

Hao Qiangzhuang sat up, looked at Zheng Shuangshuang, and asked, "Do you have a bath towel? Can I borrow it?"

"Okay!" Zheng Shuang nodded, then took a towel from the clothes drying area on the balcony and handed it to Hao Qiangzhuang.

Hao Qiangzhuang was really tired today and didn't want to move. He went into the bathroom, where there was a shower. He turned it on, adjusted the water temperature, and started showering.

The warm water washed away the fatigue, gradually making me feel relaxed all over.

His mind wasn't on Zheng Shuangshuang at all; he was thinking about his current situation.

Although he had bought a piece of land in this area, the location of the land was somewhat awkward, more like an abandoned and desolate wasteland.

I made some extra money during this period, but it only amounted to 90,000 yuan, which is not enough to cover my living expenses.

He wanted to build a villa on the wasteland, but he clearly didn't have enough money.

After what happened with Liu Qiangbei, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.

Even if I really did marry Liu Mengsi, what would that mean?

In Liu Qiangnan's eyes, he was ultimately an outsider, and he was even too lazy to sort out this messy situation.

After showering, he dried his hair with Zheng Shuangshuang's bath towel, washed his underwear, wrapped the towel around his waist, and opened the bathroom door.

It's a bit cold. The restrooms here aren't decorated like those in the company management dormitories; they're located inside near the main entrance.

After taking a shower, I had to go through the balcony to get back inside, and there was no air conditioning, so it was really cold.

Hao Qiangzhuang hung his underwear up to dry, then hurriedly opened the door and rushed inside.

Zheng Shuang sat on the bed somewhat awkwardly, forcing a stiff smile: "Are you done showering?"

"Okay." Hao Qiangzhuang nodded, walked over, and continued, "Go wash up!"

Zheng Shuangshuang slowly stood up, reached out her hand to Hao Qiangzhuang, and looked at his faintly visible eight-pack abs and tall, powerful body, her heart started racing again.

She said shyly, "Give me a bath towel."

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiangzhuang jumped onto the bed, wrapped himself in the blanket, and then untied the bath towel from his body and handed it to her: "Here you go."

Zheng Shuang took the bath towel with a pounding heart, feeling extremely ashamed, yet unable to resist saying to Hao Qiangzhuang, "Wait for me a moment, I'll be done showering soon."

"Go!" Hao Qiangzhuang was also looking forward to what was about to happen between him and Zheng Shuangshuang.

Zheng Shuangshuang walked out of the room, crossed the balcony, entered the bathroom, gently closed the door, and turned on the shower.

She felt a mix of shyness, anticipation, and even a touch of smugness. But then, imagining it, she felt ashamed, her cheeks growing redder and redder, like ripe red apples.

Hao Qiangzhuang was really tired. He had been waiting for more than half an hour, but Zheng Shuangshuang still hadn't finished washing. He was so sleepy that he couldn't stand it anymore. Just as he was about to put down his phone, he suddenly felt something crawl into the blankets from the foot of the bed.

Just then, the phone rang again; it was an international call from Liu Mengsi.

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated for a moment before answering the phone: "How have you been lately?"

Liu Mengsi responded, "It's still the same. I can't go anywhere every day; I have to stay in the hospital to rest during my pregnancy. What about you? Have you missed me?"

"Oh!" Hao Zhuangqiang was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He quickly recovered and continued, "Yes!"

Liu Mengsi asked curiously, "What were you doing when you said 'oh' just now?"

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Today, when I went to the North District branch, your third uncle called a group of security guards to surround and kill me. Fortunately, I was only slightly injured."

Liu Mengsi fell silent, hesitating as if she wanted to speak, before finally saying, "Although we're not married, you're the father of the child in my belly. How could my third uncle do this? Does my dad know?"

"What do you think?" Hao Qiangzhuang asked rhetorically, wanting to see Liu Mengsi's reaction.

This person said they liked me the first time they met, and then got me drunk to give me the opportunity to have a relationship with her.

Without her, I wouldn't have everything I have today.

However, there were some things that made Hao Qiangzhuang unwilling to accept, and he was very troubled inside.

Liu Mengsi didn't answer, so Hao Qiangzhuang couldn't help but press further: "Are you really willing to marry me and start a family with me, or are you just saying it?"

"Me?" Liu Mengsi was at a loss for words, unsure how to answer Hao Qiangzhuang's question.

She thought for a long time without answering the question, and instead asked Hao Qiangzhuang, "What about you? Do you really love me? Are you really willing to build a family with me and marry me?"

After asking the question, she hurriedly added, "Are you choosing to spend your life with me, or is it just a fling?"

Hao Qiangqiang answered firmly, "If I didn't want to, I would have refused. I wouldn't stay at your company and suffer any mistreatment."

Liu Mengsi hesitated before saying, "Just bear with it for a while! I'll give birth to our son and then we can go back home."

"Yeah, I'm a little sleepy tonight and want to go to sleep. Take care of yourself, I'll be waiting for you to come back, bye-bye."

After Hao Qiangzhuang hung up the phone, Zheng Shuangshuang poked her head out from under the covers, looking at Hao Qiangzhuang with a shy expression: "It's time to return it to you..."
