The female supporting role just wants to survive, but the boss insists on falling in love

Chapter 146: The pitiful Mr. Tu (completed)

Although there is no sun today, it is a nice autumn day with clear and cool weather. Zhuang Xiao sits leisurely on a rattan chair and eats breakfast.

Outside the greenhouse, a walnut frame is made with carefully tended leaves and flowers climbing up it, dotted with small flowers, decorating the edge of the sight and making you feel as if you are in the countryside.

Pink camellia sasanqua is planted in the flower beds on the ground. Even in late autumn, the leaves are still lush green, with plump and round pink flowers dotted among them, contrasting with the short and tiny firecracker red flowers, full of vitality.

In addition to the mellow aroma of soy milk, there is also the rich fragrance of osmanthus. When you play a little tune, you will feel so comfortable.

Jiang Wei rushed over and saw this scene. She couldn't help but feel sad, "Why, why did you let a working man like me see this?!"

It was half past ten and she was still working hard before Zhuang Xiao got up to have breakfast.

Zhuang Xiao looked up, met Jiang Wei's resentful eyes, and smiled shyly, "How about you also have a cup of soy milk? It smells so good."

Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment, but still held back, "Forget it, I'll just drink some water. I've already gained weight from overwork."

Jiang Wei took a sip of osmanthus tea, sat down and said, "I have packed your painting back. Uncle housekeeper has arranged for someone to move it into your studio."

Zhuang Xiao nodded.

Jiang Wei continued, "You don't need to worry. Mr. Tu has arranged for people to surround the art gallery tightly. Those who were trying to attract attention through live streaming and causing trouble were all sent to the police station. Many lawyers came, and the situation became quiet immediately."

"Or you should read more books." Jiang Wei came to an understanding, "Lawyers' mouths are much scarier than security guards'. With just one word, those people can't escape."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Xiao pushed the snacks towards her, "Be safe, don't waste my painting."

Jiang Wei ate a chestnut cake and joked, "Boss, it sounds like you don't trust Mr. Tu~"

"Yes." Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xiao nodded generously, "As the saying goes, if a man is reliable, even a sow can climb a tree."

Jiang Wei opened her mouth in shock, her eyes rolled around, and she looked around. There were only the two of them in the greenhouse.

Even so, Jiang Wei lowered her voice and said, "Boss, I didn't hear anything." As a typical office worker, she understood that when the devils fight, the devils suffer.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, your position is not firm enough." Zhuang Xiaoxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, "At this time, you have to share the same hatred with me and scold him to pieces."

Jiang Wei shrank her neck, thinking of Tu Yan's appearance, "I dare not."

Zhuang Xiao sighed and said half-truthfully, "Then I'll have to do it myself."

Jiang Wei silently raised her thumbs up. Only the boss had the courage to do this.

"You've worked hard recently. After today's exhibition, I'll give you a week off." Zhuang Xiao added, "Paid leave."

Jiang Wei immediately changed her attitude, "Compared to you, Mr. Tu is indeed a little bit inferior. You are the one who does the big things and the backbone of the family..."

Zhuang Xiao smiled and said, "Come on, go get busy. I won't go to the exhibition to save myself the trouble."

After seeing Jiang Wei off, Zhuang Xiao freed his brain to think about what to do now.

Through last night's attempt... no, the attempt tonight before, she has confirmed that Tu Yan can control the ability to roll back with his subconscious mind.

But this is not enough and it is uncontrollable.

The kind of relationship she hopes for is one of equality and mutual support, rather than one that is unconsciously manipulated by likes and dislikes.

How can we allow Tu Yan to control the ability to rewind?

----

Tu Yan came back very late again. This time, Zhuang Xiao chose the right time and sat in the living room waiting for him.

So, when Mr. Tu, who had worked overtime for a day and had little gain, returned home and saw his wife waiting for him, he was deeply moved.

This feeling of being moved reached its peak when Zhuang Xiao personally cooked the soup.

After changing his clothes, Tu Yan walked lightly behind Zhuang Xiao and hugged her from behind.

With her head down, she buried it in Zhuang Xiao's neck in a somewhat aggrieved posture, and said in a tender voice, "Wife~"

Zhuang Xiao shook his shoulders and said, "The noodles will be overcooked soon."

Tu Yan's arms tightened around her waist, "My wife is more important."

Zhuang Xiao turned his head and saw the plump lips right in front of him.

Tu Yan really couldn't resist the temptation and kissed her lips without hesitation.

The kiss was light and gentle, like the breeze on an autumn night, creating ripples in the heart.

Tu Yanmei was so beautiful that he felt a little flattered for a moment. He had never enjoyed such treatment since they had been together. As expected, he didn't cherish it after getting it (╥﹏╥).

However, as soon as he finished his bowl of lovingly prepared vegetable and egg noodles, his fantasy was shattered.

"Have you finished eating?" Zhuang Xiao asked a random question to start this important conversation.

Tu Yan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, wife."

Zhuang Xiao let Tu Yan hold her hand lovingly, "Then I'll tell you."

Tu Yan noticed the seriousness in Zhuang Xiao's tone. Thinking of the slander Zhuang Xiao had suffered during this period and his own negligence, he couldn't help but hold a breath and nodded slowly.

"In fact, those things on the Internet are not all groundless rumors. I do have ulterior motives and plans." Zhuang Xiao said calmly, but he was actually a little uneasy in his heart.

After all, they were not talking in bed now, and without the meat hanging in front of her, she was really unsure of Tu Yan's reaction.

However, Tu Yan did not disappoint her. On the contrary... she was a little "surprised".

"I know." Tu Yan was equally calm.

Then, under Zhuang Xiao's puzzled gaze, Tu Yan demonstrated what top-level understanding was.

"You were attracted to me because of my beauty at first, and then you knew that I was very rich, so you wanted to have both money and beauty." Tu Yan curled his lips and touched the tip of Zhuang Xiao's nose in a flirtatious manner, "You greedy little devil."

Zhuang Xiao: “…”

Zhuang Xiao was almost speechless because of him and ended the topic directly. What else could she say? Sure enough, to become a top rich man, he is not an ordinary person.

"Isn't it?" Tu Yan asked again when he saw Zhuang Xiao's hesitant expression.

"..."Zhuang Xiao: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Seeing Tu Yan's smug look, Zhuang Xiao's guilt disappeared. He stopped beating around the bush and blurted out the fact that intimacy could be exchanged for longer life. He successfully saw Tu Yan's look of despair.

Tu Yan frowned and stared at Zhuang Xiao, as if wondering if she was joking.

"It's true." Zhuang Xiao ruthlessly broke the last bit of fantasy.

"It's okay." Tu Yan's chest rose and fell violently. After taking two deep breaths, he found his focus again. "That was all in the past. Now we are a legal couple. You don't have to worry about these things in the future. You can love me purely."

"It's a bit difficult." Listening to his official tone, as if it was the words of a leader instructing work, Zhuang Xiao had to use some effort to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Now I'm considering whether to divorce you." Drawing on past experience, Zhuang Xiao left enough room for maneuver.

"Why?" Tu Yan was completely upset. "Have you accumulated enough existence value?"

Zhuang Xiao nodded.

"You can have a sense of crisis." Tu Yan was unwilling to give up, "Wouldn't it be better to keep some?"

"I kept it." Zhuang Xiao said in a pure tone, "More than enough." She had exceeded her targets.

"People have many needs. Survival needs are only the most basic. You can pursue something else." Tu Yan began to do ideological work on Zhuang Xiao.

"For example?" Zhuang Xiao asked with interest.

"For example, material things." Speaking of this, Tu Yan straightened his back a little, "You know... I am the richest man now. Do you know what the richest man means?"

Zhuang Xiao raised his hand and shook his huge pigeon egg diamond ring, "I already have it."

"You..." Tu Yan looked at the radiant high-net-worth diamond face, the expression on his face was hard to describe.

Zhuang Xiao lowered his eyes to hide his smile. How happy she was when he gave it to her, how much she regretted it now.

"Then there are higher-level needs." Tu Yan quickly adjusted his direction, "For example, spiritual needs - love."

"You actually want to abandon your husband and children?" Tu Yan caught this point, "Where is your sense of morality?"

Zhuang Xiao blinked innocently and reminded: "We don't have any children..."

Tu Yan was sad and angry, "It will be available soon!"

Tu Yan said as he stretched out his long arm, and before Zhuang Xiao could react, he picked the man up and ran straight to the bedroom upstairs.

Zhuang Xiao was so shocked by the sudden development that she screamed. Everything in front of her eyes was spinning, and finally she fell on the cloud-like mattress. Tu Yan's breath immediately hit her face.

Zhuang Xiao was disturbed by his impatient actions. This development was beyond her expectations. She didn't expect Tu Yan to be so active.

"Wait!" Zhuang Xiao begged for mercy, "I think what you said makes sense!"

She could seduce him, but Zhuang Xiao would never dare to let him succeed. With Tu Yan's special ability to talk, he might be able to hit the target right away, so she didn't dare to take the risk.

"It's too late." Tu Yan's lips covered hers again.

Zhuang Xiao took the opportunity to take a breath and said vaguely, "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Tu Yan paused and looked at her warily, but still let go, "Why?"

"Because I don't dare." Zhuang Xiao sat up and gradually calmed his breathing.

"What are you afraid of?" Tu Yan frowned slightly.

"I love you." Zhuang Xiao answered seriously.

"You don't love me?" Tu Yan was almost broken. "Were all those sweet words you said to me lies? Or have you fallen in love with someone else? Who is it?..."

A series of questions made Zhuang Xiao's eyes dazed for a moment, and she quickly comforted her husband who was out of his mind, "I said I dare not love you, not that I don't love you. I love you, love love love!"

Tu Yan's chattering mouth immediately stopped, and he said softly, "Oh," "Then tell me, why don't you dare?"

Zhuang Xiao reorganized his words, carefully considering his words, and looking for a suitable entry point, "Because you are special."

"I know." Tu Yan spoke before Zhuang Xiao could finish his thoughts.

"Shut up." Zhuang Xiao couldn't help it, "Listen to me!"

Being scolded by his wife, Tu Yan blinked quickly and calmed down, "Okay."

"You have superpowers." Zhuang Xiao didn't give him a chance to interrupt this time, and exposed his past in just a few words, "...This is what happened."

"You always use your likes and dislikes to control me and make me do what you like. I don't want to be controlled for the rest of my life, so I need to carefully consider whether our relationship should continue."

Tu Yan listened carefully, then looked at Zhuang Xiao quietly. His eyes became deep and a storm seemed to be brewing in his deep pupils.

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and his breathing slowed down.

There was silence in the bedroom for a while, and then Tu Yan spoke, "So, on that day at the dinner party, you confessed to me, proposed to me later, and even promised to marry me before... you were forced to do so?"

Zhuang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He didn't even say these things, but he guessed them?

Tu Yan naturally did not miss her guilty conscience, but he still stared at his lover, waiting for Zhuang Xiao's answer. He hoped in his heart that she would say "no" and tell him that they were together because they loved each other.

Zhuang Xiao knew that the answer was very important, but looking into the sincere eyes of the man in front of her, the lie on the tip of her tongue became hard to tell.

In the stagnant atmosphere, Zhuang Xiao decisively changed the subject and turned the question into a rhetorical question, "What about you? Is it really me that you like? Is it me now, the real me, or the Zhuang Xiao who can obey your wishes and conform to your imagination?"

"Heh!" After Zhuang Xiao finished speaking, Tu Yan laughed out loud, but the muscles on his face clearly did not show happiness.

"No matter if you have ulterior motives or are insincere, you are the most important to me." Tu Yan curled the corners of his mouth coldly, "I thought you knew?" So this is how you think of me in your heart?

"If I liked you who was obedient, you should be pregnant with our child now." Looking at Zhuang Xiao's dazed look, Tu Yan felt a surge of anger in his heart, and his voice was almost gritting his teeth.

Zhuang Xiao was frightened by the threat in his words and shrank his neck. He felt that he was on the verge of retreating. He withstood the pressure and said with his neck stiff, "Okay, then prove it to me. Prove that you love me and respect me."

"How do you want me to prove it?" Tu Yan said in a low voice.

"Without my permission, you are not allowed to use the rollback to make me compromise." Zhuang Xiao looked straight back into Tu Yan's eyes.

As their eyes met, tiny electric currents seemed to flash between their close distances.

"Okay." Tu Yan clenched his back teeth.

After verbally signing this unequal agreement, Tu Yan, as an investor, found a loophole in the contract with his usual keenness. "Since I don't know about the time reversal, how do I know whether it happened? You wouldn't lie to me on purpose, would you?" So he broke up with me.

"I won't." Zhuang Xiao looked at him and felt a kind of pitiful feeling from Tu Yan for the first time. To be honest, he felt a little distressed. "Don't you believe me?"

Tu Yan said two words very aggrievedly, "Believe it."

"I can answer your question now." Zhuang Xiao did not disappoint his reluctance and immediately uttered a cold word, "Yes."
