Chapter 383: 388 Duoduo’s dad is you_1

"No, no, of course not, when I’m with you, would I even care about a little money?" The man spoke jovially.

He patted her cheek and continued, "It’s always so covert, isn’t it? We can’t go to the fancy hotels, only to the little express inns. The environment’s terrible. No idea if the sheets are even clean, and the bed squeaks endlessly!"

Zhou Ziqing pushed him away, straightened her clothes, and spoke seriously, "My bed is just as bad, and probably not clean either! Do you think this place can accommodate someone like you?"

"How about this? I rent a decent apartment for you to move into," the man offered generously.

Rent?

Zhou Ziqing was sick of it all. Who would want to move into a rented place?

If he really cared, he should buy me a house.

"No need. What would I be doing in a house you’ve rented?" Zhou Ziqing shook her head.

The man glanced around at the state of her home, scratching his nose. "Well, it’d definitely be better than this place!"

"If you think it’s that bad here, you can leave now. I didn’t beg you to stick around!" Zhou Ziqing pushed him away, her tone indifferent.

The man laughed. "I’m here to see you, not the house!"

"..." Zhou Ziqing wasn’t amused at all, having never been keen on this man.

The man, however, sensed what she was hinting at – a new apartment. But with houses in B City costing a fortune, where would he find the money?

Even if he could, he didn’t want to spend a fortune on her!

So, he feigned ignorance and kept flattering her. "Look at you, upset again. Here, look at what I just bought for you!"

From his pocket, he pulled out a diamond ring from a known brand.

Zhou Ziqing put it on her finger, took a look, and allowed a small smile to form.

But it was a very small smile.

She twirled the ring on her finger, stretched out her hand and squinted at it. "It’s passable, quite pretty. This brand’s ring, if I were to sell it, it’d fetch thirty thousand, right?"

"Jesus, I spent fifty thousand on it! If you sell it for thirty, that would be such a loss! Promise me you won’t sell it!"

"Hehe..." Hearing him mention the price, Zhou Ziqing shot him another smile.

The man pulled her close by her back, urging, "Let’s go inside."

Zhou Ziqing turned to avoid him. "No, the child is here!"

The man sneered. "It’s just a silly child who can’t even talk yet, she can’t understand anything!"

Zhou Ziqing, being a mother, found her mood darkening. "Listen, don’t you dare speak of my daughter that way. Silly child? My daughter isn’t dumb!"

"So she isn’t, huh?"

"You keep that mouth shut. If you can’t control your words, I’ll kick you out!"

The man immediately went silent. "Alright, alright. Once she’s asleep, it’ll be okay, right?"

Zhou Ziqing nodded.

"Then can I at least lie in your room and wait?" The man asked.

Zhou Ziqing pointed at another room. "Go rest in there. I’ll come over once the child falls asleep."

Amazingly, the man was willing to take Zhou Ziqing’s abuse. There was something very appealing about this woman when she was furious!

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the little girl who was also watching him.

As if having been stared at by a ghost, he quickly retreated into the other room.

...............

The long-unlit room was illuminated as the small light was turned on.

Zhou Ziqing put on her nightgown, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke in silence.

The man also put on his clothes, preparing to leave.

Zhou Ziqing glanced at him, somewhat resentful. "You’re leaving already?"

"Yes. If I don’t be careful, my wife might find out and it’ll be harder for me to come out in the future!"

Zhou Ziqing glared at him, as she would at Qin Muchuan.

She vented her anger on him, saying harshly, "Listen here, you’re not leaving today!"

"Huh?" The man was taken aback by her sudden demand.

Zhou Ziqing was vexed. "Huh? What huh? Once I said you can’t leave, you can’t leave!"

"Wow, my little empress, this is the first time you’ve made such a request of me. Usually, you’re running way faster than a rabbit! Your sudden demand really puts me in a difficult position!"

The man was indeed quite baffled and afraid, thus he stayed put.

Seeing that he hadn’t left, Zhou Ziqing’s mood slightly improved. "You know you’re a jerk, right?"

Instead of taking offense, he even smiled. "You can say whatever you like!"

He’d gotten what he wanted earlier anyway.

Zhou Ziqing went on. "You’re a jerk. Look at your witch of a wife. Aren’t you afraid to see her at night?"

In reality, all she was thinking about was Lin Xiangwan, the person she was actually cursing was Lin Xiangwan.

She just couldn’t understand how Qin Muchuan could love that skinny Lin Xiangwan and not her.

Could it be because she was older?

No, she wouldn’t admit it.!

"Tell me, am I young? Am I beautiful?" She blew a smoke ring.

"Of course, you’re beautiful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so infatuated with you!" He blurted quickly.

Zhou Ziqing smiled slightly, then puffed up her cheeks and pursed her lips, asking coquettishly, "Who do you think is younger, me or your witch of a wife?"

"Obviously, you’re younger!"

"Hehe..." She grinned contentedly. "Then divorce your wife and marry me. How about that?"

The man frowned at her words and remained silent.

"Go on, tell me, is it okay or not?" Zhou Ziqing pressed.

"Haha..." He let out a perfunctory laugh. "You know, I have been married to her for many years. If I were to divorce her, I’d have to give her a large sum of money. Let me tell you, it’s not that I can’t leave her, it’s that I can’t part with my money. So, I can’t divorce her right now."

Zhou Ziqing was infuriated as she listened. Tears welled in her eyes. "So you can’t marry me?"

"Ah, I can’t lie. I can’t marry you right now."

"When then?" She pushed on, shedding her tears.

"Once she dies, I can marry you!" The man replied.

"She’s so healthy, how can she just die!" Zhou Ziqing was incredibly disappointed.

"She’s older than you. She’s bound to die before you, so no need to worry!" The man consoled her. "Once she dies, I’ll marry you straight away!"

"You better mean it!" Zhou Ziqing warned.

"Don’t worry!"

"Ah...ah..." Suddenly, Duoduo from the other room started wailing.

It was quite frightening in the middle of the night!

The man was a bit annoyed. "Your daughter is crying!"
