Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242 Reminder

Yang Xiaoxi’s voice was not low; the three people outside the room heard everything loud and clear. Cheng Feiyang felt a wave of embarrassment and massaged his temples with a headache. Didn’t Yang Xiaoxi know that someone’s husband was sitting outside? Why was she speaking so loudly?

He Nan didn’t utter a sound, his gaze nonchalantly drifted towards Dajun.

Feeling helpless under his scrutiny, Dajun quickly clarified, "I didn’t."

He was a man of few words and not the type to sugarcoat things. Even his vocabulary for explanations was bland and monotonous. Cheng Feiyang thought to himself that this indeed did not seem like the behavior of someone who would cheat, so he asked,

"So what’s going on?"

Dajun’s face flushed as he said, "Recently, Zhang Qian was always intentionally or unintentionally getting close to me, and then I told Xiaocui about it, and she fired Zhang Qian."

"So, it was a misunderstanding?" Cheng Feiyang said.

Dajun nodded, "Xiaocui agreed to be with me, despite not minding my physical defects, I’m already very grateful, how could I go and do something to betray her?"

"I never really thought you were that kind of person either. Xiaoxi is just used to prattling on—don’t take it to heart," Cheng Feiyang offered an explanation on behalf of Yang Xiaoxi.

"I won’t." Dajun said.

Seeing that he truly wasn’t upset, Cheng Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He Nan, however, said, "Once you’re married, you should keep your distance from other women to avoid causing misunderstandings that can affect marital relationships."

He Nan usually spoke as little as Dajun did and cared even less for meddling in others’ affairs. His extra comment was solely because Xiaocui was close to Shen Mianmian, and Dajun knew this, so he nodded in agreement,

"I just want to earn money earnestly to provide a good life for the three of them; I have no other ulterior motives."

Only those who have suffered know how hard it was for him to have the life he has now, so Dajun never wasted money frivolously. However, he was always generous when it came to Xiaocui. As long as Xiaocui wanted something and they could afford it, Dajun would buy it for her.

With Xiaocui at home, it felt like a complete family.

Inside the house, Xiaocui was also hastily waving her hands in denial, "No, no, he didn’t cheat. It’s just that what Zhang Qian did seemed a bit off to me, so I sent her away."

After finishing, Xiaocui looked to Shen Mianmian, "Mianmian, you won’t blame me for firing Zhang Qian without discussing it with you first, will you?"

"Of course not," Shen Mianmian smiled and said, "Zhang Qian was just an employee we hired for the shop. Although she’s been working there for a while, we never treated her badly. With Zhang Qian’s personality, she’s not the type to settle down into a steady job anyway; even if we didn’t fire her, she wouldn’t have lasted long."

Shen Mianmian had some understanding of Zhang Qian’s personality. When Zhang Qian first came to work at the shop, she was shy and timid. But as time passed, her mindset gradually changed. It’s good for a person to have ambition and ideas—there’s nothing wrong with that—but having ill intentions is something else.

Yang Xiaoxi also nodded, "Right, you’re the boss. If you find Zhang Qian unsatisfactory, you have every right to fire her. There’s no need to indulge her."

If she found out someone was eyeing Cheng Feiyang, she would also be intolerant. Her actions might even be harsher than Xiaocui’s.

Seeing that both understood her, Xiaocui felt touched, "Mianmian, actually, maybe it’s just me being paranoid. Maybe Zhang Qian didn’t mean anything by her actions, but what she did really aroused suspicion. Because business has been so good, Dajun and I were considering opening a branch. That’s when Zhang Qian started acting strange. She began wearing increasingly revealing clothes and always found excuses to get close to Dajun."
