Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C80

Every single person in the Chi family was smart. Gu Hui Ru’s words had indeed stabbed into her chest. That child was the key to her rupture. If he was born safely, they really wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“Auntie, those are the past. There’s no point talking about it now.”

“Alright, let’s talk about the future. From Yi Nan’s words, you all live together. When are you going to remarry?”

She didn’t think that Chi Yinan would even tell Gu Huiru these things, and even more twisted the truth a little: “He and I aren’t living together, we’re neighbors.”

“Hehe, it’s like this. When Yinan said you guys were living together, I was a bit surprised, but my neighbor was also not bad.”

She really didn’t understand the meaning behind Gu Huiru’s words, but one thing was certain; she hoped that she could remarry Chi Yinan.

“Warm Jin, I applied for a beauty treatment session last time. Come with me in a while.”

With regards to Gu Hui Ru’s sudden change in topic, she couldn’t wait and said, “Alright, I’ll also go and take care of it.”

Women liked to talk about beauty, clothing, and sometimes men the most. She and Gu Huiru belonged to the first two types of women. Although she was over half a hundred years old, because of her good maintenance, they walked together like sisters.

Entering the lobby of the beauty club, Su Wenjin didn’t expect to meet Xu Bing here. She wore a peaked cap with the brim down, sitting on a chair. Because she raised her head to talk to the woman in front of her, she inadvertently saw her face.

“Warm Jin, let’s go directly inside.”

Gu Hui Ru pulled her inside as she hastily glanced at Xu Bing before following her inside. This woman was always proud of herself. Gu Hui Ru had taken care of her skin, detoxifying it while she took care of it. This was because City S’s winter was cold and dry, causing the skin on her legs to lose their lustre.

The two of them intentionally stayed in a room, with a curtain drawn up between them and they chatted without saying a word. When they finished nursing and came out, it was already the first time the lights were on, the driver of the Chi family was standing beside the car. Seeing them come out and open the door, she didn’t reject Gu Huiru’s good intentions of sending her back, and then got off the car outside the district.

She happily told her that Mr. Chi had already left for work and even bought river prawns, saying that he would cook river prawns tonight. She said something to him in a funny way, that if she hesitated, she was afraid that she only knew how to buy and wouldn’t cook, so if he really wanted to eat river prawns, she could just go back and ask Auntie Xue to make them for him.

She took out the key to open the door. Suddenly, a dog barked in the quiet corridor, causing her to tremble in fright. The key fell to the floor. The staircase door was pushed open, and Chi Yinan led the sheepdog out.

It was said that the dog food contained a small amount of stimulants, which was why the dog was so excited. It immediately pounced at her the moment it saw her.

“Warm Jin, come here.”

Chi Yinan called out to him, and he immediately got off her, ran to his side, shook his tail, and ran back and forth between them. She picked up the key on the ground and was about to open the door, but the door opened and Chi Yinan and the dog squeezed in together.

“Warm Jin, do you mind if a neighbor scurries in?” Chi Yinan had a strong expression on his face, but his mouth said something that he would discuss with you. The sheepdog also sat obediently at his feet, panting. She put her bag on the sofa, put her key on the tea table, and threw a can of drink from the fridge to him: “Drink it.”

He directly sat down on her favorite deck chair. Previously, he had placed his chair on the balcony, but because the weather had gradually turned cold, he was carried back to her and placed in the living room. At this moment, Chi Yinan’s broad body leaned back in the chair, swaying a little, as if he was enjoying the moment extremely.

“Warm Jin, ‘Shang Ao’ has opened his second store today.”

She stopped pouring the water. Ever since she had left, she had not asked about “Shang Ou”. Whether it was closing or continuing her business did not matter to her.

“Congratulations.”

“You don’t have any sincerity when you say it, but you should be more practical when you say it.”

No one could compete with Chi Yinan if he didn’t want to show his face. At least, no one around her could compare to him. “Hehe, what’s the actual situation?”

“Warm Jin, I want to eat river prawns.”

“Oh, it’s not for sale downstairs, but it’s too late for that now.”

Speaking of food, her stomach was faintly hungry. She and Gu Huiru didn’t eat when they left the beauty salon. Her stomach growled when she reached that point due to her regular lifestyle.

“You haven’t eaten yet?”

“Yes, but I drank some water.”

She looked at the confident man speechlessly, then put down the glass of water and entered the kitchen. The fridge was almost empty, leaving behind only a packet of noodles.

“You still have tomatoes?”

“I don’t know. It’s not like I’m cooking.” When Chi Yinan answered, he had a very nasty look on his face. He lowered his eyes and teased the sheepdog by his feet. The man and the dog faced each other, and she walked over to take a glance.

She went to the other side and brought over two tomatoes and eggs. She made a simple noodles and scooped out two bowls. Chi Yinan seemed to have sensed that and washed his hands beforehand. He sat on the chair and was the same as before.

“Warm Jin, I’m on a business trip tomorrow. How about you help me take care of it for a few days?”

The creature that was called ran around the table twice happily, its tail brushing against her calves. After it stopped, its ears drooped and its tongue stuck out as it panted heavily.

“It won’t lose any hair, right?”

“Warm Jin, don’t tell me you want to wash your hair without losing it?”

Chi Yinan really deserved a beating. Hearing this, her heart and lungs hurt from anger. She poked the noodles in the bowl and heard him say, “You can’t despise it just because it lost its fur. Since it’s raised, you have to be responsible for it.”

She felt that Chi Yinan was a bit weird today. This dog wasn’t raised by her, what does it have to do with her?

“You can send it to Lu Ziyun.”

Chi Yinan thought for a while: “I’m worried.”

“What’s there to worry about? It’s not like he’s going to molest it.”

“If it was in another environment, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be able to adapt.”

“You can take it directly to the client.” Even though she said this, she still helped Chi Yinan take care of the fat sheepdog. He brought all of its things, even the toothbrush, so she couldn’t imagine what would happen in the next few days.

On the first day of Chi Yinan’s business trip, she was in a hurry to go to work in the morning. When the sheepdog in the doorway heard the commotion, she immediately got up and walked around her. She was in a hurry to go to work, thinking that when Chi Yinan left, he told her to get up in the morning and make sure she went to the bathroom. She had no choice but to take her to the bathroom, then poured some dog food into the basin and filled the bucket with water.

She took the car keys from the coffee table and was about to get out when the shepherd, who was eating dog food, suddenly lunged at her and pinned her against the door, refusing to let her go.

She reached out her hand to stroke the fur on its head. “Be good and listen to me. I’ll make you some delicious food later tonight.”

Its claws loosened a bit, its eyes rolled around, and it let out a low whimper. It then got down from her body and sat down pitifully a meter away as it watched her open the door before closing it.

This dog was extremely human. She really couldn’t bear to have such a pitiful look just now. She didn’t know that Chi Yinan was like that as well.

She went to the supermarket after work. This sheepdog was said to like red braised pork so she promised to cook for it in the morning. After entering the supermarket, she rushed to the second floor and bought a catty of streaky pork, vegetables and fruits. When she checked out the bill, it was filled with a bag of vegetables.

Lin Jingsheng’s car was parked outside the residential complex. Upon seeing Su Wenjin’s car enter, he got off the car and stood in front of it. It was a cold night in winter, and it was dark very early.

“Warm, you have a dog.”

She opened the door and the sheepdog came out first. It was as if its entire body was hanging on her body, shaking its head and wagging its tail excitedly. After it saw Lin Jingsheng, it suddenly barked ferociously like it had never seen him before.

“Come in, it doesn’t bite, but don’t touch it.”

Lin Jingsheng came in and changed his slippers. It was a pair of men’s slippers. He was a bit disappointed. Thinking that there were other men who also wore slippers, he suddenly felt upset and had the urge to take them off.

“What are you standing there for? Come in.”

She simply invited another friend to her house for dinner. Lin Jingsheng took a few steps forward, and the dog barked again. She stuck her head out of the kitchen and barked at the sheepdog.

Lin Jingsheng did not like pets, especially dogs that lost their fur. Furthermore, this dog barked at him every time it saw him. This more or less made him angry, “Warm, let me help you.”

After finding a reason to enter the kitchen, he entered the simple and cozy arrangement of the apartment. Even the fireworks in the small and narrow kitchen made it difficult for him to calm his heart.

“No need, you can go now. It’ll be fine after a while.”

Lin Jingsheng was standing at the kitchen door. The orange light shone on his body. He could feel the distance between Su Wenjin and him. He had been happy a second ago for her to let him come up to eat, but now he was silently mourning for the distance between them grow further and further apart.
