Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 211

Chapter 211

The little cutie from the Lu family was crying pitifully. But at least there was no need for punishment or holding onto the back of a chair anymore.

She glanced at Lu Qin’s back of the head with a pitiful expression, as if saying, Your little cutie was bullied, and you didn’t even comfort me?

However, Mr. Lu was focused on driving and seemed to truly not notice.

Shen Muyan glanced at the little one and said, “Enough, you’re no longer a three-year-old, crying for three minutes is enough, crying more won’t help.”

Look, she’s speaking the truth.

The little one blinked her big eyes and just stared at the wealthy woman, her tears not yet dried.

“Mom, with such a beautiful mouth, how can you say such cold words?”

“How about when we get home, I’ll get you an ice cream, would you like vanilla flavor?”

Pfft!

Finally, the little one couldn’t hold back anymore and broke into a smile. But in the process, she accidentally blew a snot bubble out of her nose. Shen Muyan’s smile couldn’t be contained as she handed over a tissue.

“Ugh! Hurry up and wipe it, so untidy.”

“Hehe~!”

The little one was now only thinking about the ice cream. The Lu family’s little cutie was fairly easy to coax, just an ice cream did the trick. When they arrived home, Xiaomi had already prepared the dinner ingredients, cutting and seasoning everything, just waiting for Chef Lu to get to work.

Lu Qin tied on the “Food God” apron and entered the kitchen. Xiaomi went to the small courtyard and started wiping the snack cart.

“Xiaomi, would you like some ice cream?”

Lu Xiyao skillfully opened the fridge door.

The ice cream was in the second drawer of the freezer, just within her reach.

“No, Miss Yao, I don’t eat ice cream,” Xiaomi said and shook her head and went to clean the cart in the small courtyard.

At that moment, Shen Muyan walked over with long legs.

Lu Xiyao looked up at her.

“Mom, Xiaomi doesn’t want ice cream. Should I eat it for her instead?”

Shen Muyan raised her elegant eyebrows slightly.

“If you’re going to force yourself, then don’t eat it.”

“Oh, okay.”

Lu Xiyao didn’t dare to push it further, afraid of being scolded by the wealthy woman. She took two ice creams, one vanilla and one cantaloupe flavor. The beautiful woman and the little one sat on the sofa in the living room eating ice cream.

“Mom, does the cantaloupe flavor taste good?”

“No, it doesn’t.”

The little one paused, and she didn’t dare to ask for a bite.

“Does your vanilla flavor taste good?”

“Mine’s also not good,” the little one mimicked her.

“Since it’s not good, let me help you finish some of it.”

Shen Muyan quickly lowered her head and took a bite. The little one wanted to protect her ice cream, but it was too late. She looked at the ice cream with a big bite missing, it felt like a wound to her heart. Although the wealthy woman’s mouth was beautiful, at this moment, the little one hated it.

“Mom, let me help you finish some too.”

The little one leaned forward and wanted to take a bite, but the wealthy woman pressed her head down.

…

After finishing the ice cream, soon the dinner was ready. It was very sumptuous. The little one was hungry and greedy.

“Wow, my favorite garlic ribs.”

“Wow, my favorite spicy prawns.”

“Wow, my favorite golden egg custard.”

“Wow…”

Lu Xiyao opened her mouth and was fed a garlic clove.

“Don’t spit it out, eat it.”

Shen Muyan said coldly, in a commanding tone.

The little one stopped complaining. The garlic clove was taken from the garlic ribs and was quite tasty. However, the little one preferred the meat more.

The family of three, plus Xiaomi, conducted the “clean plate” campaign. The food was all gone. Xiaomi washed the dishes.

In the peaceful evening, the three played checkers. The loser would get a sticker. Playing checkers helped the little one develop decision-making skills and focus.

An hour later, the little one was covered in stickers and looked like a little ghost. The wealthy woman, who had an IQ of 180, also got five or six stickers. She wasn’t happy about it.

Why is Lu Qin so good at checkers?

The little one’s fair hands removed the stickers, revealing her big, bright eyes, looking at Lu Qin as if saying.

Dad, is it really appropriate to put all these stickers on your little cutie?

Lu Qin smirked, pulled out his phone, and took several photos of the “little ghost” covered in stickers. The wealthy woman, also with stickers on her, was photographed too. This really ruined her image.

The wealthy woman demanded that the photos be deleted. She transferred a 200 yuan red envelope to Lu Qin and demanded an immediate deletion.

Seeing the money, Lu Qin opened the album and deleted the photos in front of her. Only then did the wealthy woman feel at ease. However, even with stickers all over her, she still looked beautiful—such a deadly charm and beauty. If only she hadn’t deleted them.

Unbeknownst to her, the photos had already been automatically uploaded to the cloud album, so deleting them locally didn’t help. Boss Lu silently made 200 yuan.

“No driving tonight, I’ll stay here and sleep.”

Shen Muyan removed the sticker from her face, stood up, and stretched her waist, revealing her alluring waistline.

Lu Qin smiled.

“Don’t sleepwalk tonight.”

Shen Muyan’s fair cheeks blushed with two red spots. She pretended not to understand what Lu Qin meant. The little one clapped her hands happily.

“With the wealthy woman staying the night, how great.”

Tonight, Lu Qin didn’t receive any secret photos from Shen Muyan, but instead, it was a real-life temptation. After taking a bath, the wealthy woman came out with wet long hair, walking confidently, not caring about Lu Qin.

She wore a light green spaghetti strap ice silk sleepwear, with a V-neck top revealing half her back, and shorts showing her jade-like legs swaying. She bent over to blow-dry her hair.

Unstoppable charm.

Lu Qin couldn’t take it, so he closed his eyes and recited a calming mantra to clear his mind. Shen Muyan caught a glimpse of Lu Qin’s embarrassed expression and felt quite pleased inside. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Did I mesmerize you?

With the help of her strategist Fang Ya, the cold and aloof Shen goddess was gradually becoming a little bad with Lu Qin.

…

Lu Qin, after taking a shower and returning to the room, opened WeChat and Alipay to check his balance. At times like this, he always felt a rush of excitement. Today’s income was 143,700, and after deducting costs, the profit was about 130,000.

Lu Qin’s savings had reached over 1.35 million. A three-bedroom apartment in Jiangcheng generally costs around 2 million. Thanks to his street vending business, Lu Qin had earned more than half the amount needed for a house. However, his savings were still far from enough.

Not only did he need to buy a house, but he also needed to save for his little one’s schooling fees, her dowry, and more. Lu Qin still had many dishes to add to his top-level Sichuan cuisine skills, and there were many dishes he hadn’t sold yet.

To increase sales, he needed to customize a different daily menu. Fried rice noodles could be sold daily as a staple, along with three kinds of cakes, such as ice crystal cakes, lotus flower pastries, and crystal shrimp dumplings, and three kinds of stir-fried dishes.

By reducing the variety of dishes, the same preparation time could be used to increase the quantity. After making this decision, Lu Qin opened his phone and found the WeChat of the advertising shop owner. He bought an intelligent electronic display screen.

There were two types—a stand-alone version and a wall-mounted version, mostly used in milk tea shops. After inquiring, the shop owner quoted a price. The stand-alone version was cheaper but needed a USB to modify the content, which was inconvenient.

The network version was more expensive but could be controlled remotely via a phone. Lu Qin naturally chose the network version, a 21-inch screen for 750 yuan. He compared prices on online stores, but the difference wasn’t much.

Online shopping would take at least three days, and returning or repairing faulty items would be a hassle, so Lu Qin directly ordered it from the ad shop. It would be ready for pickup by noon tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Lu Qin checked his system points. He had reached 5224. He could now make five high-level draws.
