"Mom, stop talking. I have my own considerations."

Zheng Hongjie hung up the phone directly.

Many things did not go as smoothly as he expected.

Zheng Hongjie didn't tell his mother that Zhao Qingqing's attitude towards him was much colder than before.

The most important thing is that Qingqing actually wants to go back on her previous promise.

This gave Zheng Hongjie a headache.

The company clearly gave an ultimatum: only one of him and Zhao Qingqing could stay.

Without a doubt, the one who should stay is yourself!

Qingqing had clearly agreed to it before, why did she suddenly hesitate?

Zheng Hongjie returned to Zhao Qingqing's luxury apartment carrying crab roe noodles.

Zhao Qingqing had already taken off her makeup and was watching videos on her tablet.

In the video, a female lecturer with exquisite makeup was teaching "How can women improve their emotional intelligence in the workplace?" She was watching with great interest.

Zheng Hongjie helped her arrange the chopsticks with a smile on his face.

"Qingqing, eat it while it's hot."

Zhao Qingqing said "hmm" coldly, and didn't look like she was going to move at all.

After watching the video for seven or eight minutes, Zheng Hongjie sat beside her in a dull voice, "Qingqing..."

"Ok?"

"Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly."

"Oh, why are you rushing me?"

Zhao Qingqing was extremely impatient, "Can't you see I'm studying!"

She rolled her eyes at Zheng Hongjie and said, "Go and boil some hot water for me. I want to soak my feet."

Zheng Hongjie: "Wait a minute, eat the noodles first."

Zhao Qingqing: "Go boil some water now!"

She acted like a queen and there was no room for negotiation on anything.

Zheng Hongjie was also a little angry, but in order to prevent the relationship from getting worse, he forced himself to endure it.

Before they got divorced, he always acted like a superior person at home, making Wenwen and his father-in-law and mother-in-law run around to serve him.

Now, in front of Zhao Qingqing, he lives like a male nanny.

"What's that expression on your face? Are you dissatisfied or fed up with me?" Zhao Qingqing's voice was sharp.

Zheng Hongjie: “How could that be?”

He forced a smile, stood up, and went to the kitchen to boil some water.

When the hot water was brought out, Zhao Qingqing was still half lying on the sofa, watching the video motionlessly.

The crab roe noodles on the table were not touched.

"Qingqing, this is what I just bought for you. If you don't eat it now, it will get cold."

Zheng Hongjie is surprisingly patient when facing his lover.

Zhao Qingqing: "So long-winded."

Zheng Hongjie prepared a foot bath for her and asked, "When do you want to soak your feet?"

Zhao Qingqing: "Now."

She stretched out her beautiful legs, with her white and tender feet resting next to the bucket. Her eyes were fixed on the tablet screen, listening to the female lecturer's lecture inside.

Zheng Hongjie had washed her feet before, and at that time it was a kind of pleasure.

But at this moment, he felt that as a man, he had lowered his dignity too low, and he wanted to restore his status.

"Hiss... Why is it so hot? Didn't you test the water temperature in advance?" Zhao Qingqing retracted her feet.

Zheng Hongjie: "I tried it, it's not hot."

"You call this not hot? My feet are already blistered!"

Zhao Qingqing was so angry that she kicked the bucket, and the hot water splashed onto Zheng Hongjie's arm.

Zheng Hongjie gritted his teeth.

"Qingqing, let's not worry about such trivial matters, okay? What do you think about what happened just now?"

"what's up?"

"Submit your resignation to the company."

Zhao Qingqing sneered: "I was wondering why you were so attentive! You're all waiting for me here..."

Zheng Hongjie: "Isn't this what we agreed on before? You said you would wait until I get divorced, but now I'm divorced. The company won't wait for anyone. If we don't submit the application, I'm afraid both of us will be in danger."

There was no emotion on Zhao Qingqing's face.

"No, I've already asked. As long as I don't submit my resignation, the company will continue to optimize you according to the process... that is, lay you off. It won't affect me."

Zheng Hongjie: …

"When did you ask?"

Zhao Qingqing: "I have been in this company for so many years, isn't it easy for me to find out some information?"

"you!"

Zheng Hongjie could see that she didn't seem to be joking.

"Qingqing, you clearly promised before that you would protect me first between the two of us, how could you go back on your word! I am your husband!"

"husband?"

Zhao Qingqing smiled contemptuously: "We are just friends. How can I be your husband if we don't have a marriage certificate?"

"But we are going to get married! I will take you back to my hometown to meet my relatives in a few days."

Zhao Qingqing had mentioned to him before that after Zheng Hongjie successfully divorced, she would go to his hometown to take a look and also take Zheng Hongjie back to her hometown to meet relatives.

This was clearly agreed upon.

"You can get divorced after getting married, but with our relationship, we might just break up one day."

"Qingqing...there is true love between us. I divorced for you and lost most of my assets. Everything I did was for you."

Zhao Qingqing: "Don't give me that, don't blackmail me morally, everything you do is for yourself!"

"Zheng Hongjie, you were so attentive to me in the company at first, and you concealed your married status! Then you repeatedly promised me that you would divorce your wife as soon as possible, and I reluctantly agreed to you."

"You were the one who took the initiative from the beginning to the end. I was labeled as a mistress for nothing. It was obviously me who sacrificed more!"
