Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 100 I will punish you severely

Just a few seconds later, Lin Wanran suddenly understood something.

It felt like a knife had been plunged into her heart, and her gaze returned to Liu Changcun, who had already left.

Her face grew increasingly pale, and a sense of humiliation welled up within her.

"When did you two get together?!"

"..."

His steps came to a halt, and after a long while, Liu Changcun turned around in confusion.

When she saw the man looking at her, Lin Wanran felt that she had guessed correctly.

When children get a toy, they may only be very interested in it at the very beginning, and they may forget about the old toy after a while when they get a new one.

However, toys that belong to children are ultimately children's toys.

Even if she doesn't want it, no one else can take it from her.

"An Zhaoran, Wen Yunwei, and now another unknown woman... No wonder you agreed to the divorce so readily back then, have you been hooking up with them all along?"

"..."

"This is adultery, I can sue you!"

"Go ahead and sue."

"what?"

"I told you to sue me, you idiot."

"..."

Lin Wanran's eyes widened.

She couldn't believe her ears.

What did she hear?

Liu Changcun cursed at her...

Insult her...

"You scold me?"

She murmured softly, seemingly talking to herself.

A few seconds later, he suddenly woke up and angrily went to Liu Changcun again.

She tilted her head back, facing the man who was much taller than her.

Looking at the gaze directed at him, he saw that there was not a trace of affection in the other person's eyes.

"You still have the nerve to argue? So many men pursued me during our marriage, and I never made a mistake!"

"You mean you're pretending to be single?"

Asking a question in return, Liu Changcun suddenly found himself speechless.

"Looks like I wasn't wrong. You didn't really think a 34-year-old single persona could still hold up, did you?"

"what?"

"What a brainless woman, thinking she's putting on such a convincing act, and that everyone else is stupid enough not to see through her?"

Looking him up and down, Liu Changcun made no attempt to hide his scrutinizing gaze.

"First of all, before the divorce, if someone pursued you and you didn't make any mistakes, that's something you should have done, not something you can brag about now."

"Secondly, do you really think others can't tell? Your breasts are sagging, how can people not know whether you've given birth or not?"

Lin Wanran stared wide-eyed at him and quickly looked down at what was in front of her.

"Of course, it's possible that it's too small for others to see, but you still have the stretch marks you had during your pregnancy. Even if you've successfully lost weight now, are others blind and can't tell?"

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Besides staring at me with your eyes wide open, can't you say anything else?"

"..."

"Get out of here. I feel disgusted just looking at you."

In front of a large crowd, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Changcun suppressed the urge to punch the other person and tried his best to control his temper.

He hated communicating with stupid people more than anything else in his life, especially stubborn stupid people like Lin Wanran.

Lin Wanran was fairly good-looking when she was young; with makeup, she was about 70% attractive, and with makeup, she was about 8.5%.

But she has neither a full bust nor a butt.

It looks like pork ribs.

Absolutely no aesthetic appeal.

Previously, Liu Changcun lacked love and mistakenly gave his heart to the wrong person after being entangled with them.

With his current aesthetic sense, Lin Wanran in front of him was not pleasing to the eye at all, not to mention that after their divorce, even looking at her felt like bad luck.

"If you dare to go to the house looking for the children again..."

Liu Changcun's last words reached Lin Wanran's ears, and she looked at the man who was giving her a warning.

"Dislocate the hand that opens the door for you."

Lin Wanran knew very well that the other party was not joking.

Lin Wanran remained rooted to the spot, unable to process what had happened.

She simply watched Liu Changcun's retreating figure as he entered the store and met up with the woman who had been peeking from the doorway.

At this moment, her mind kept repeating the other person's last words.

Although Liu Changcun was not talkative in the past, he always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. No matter how intense the argument between the two was, he would always keep his anger to himself and never had any intention of hitting her.

Although Liu Changcun is only talking about it now, he hasn't actually taken any concrete actions yet.

But Lin Wanran now understands very well...

If she dared to disobey him, she might really get a beating.

Just thinking about how Liu Changcun suddenly grabbed his collar after learning that he had returned home...

In an instant, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Store entrance.

After enjoying the refreshing drinks brought by the boss, the construction workers became noticeably more focused on their work.

Ning Mengyao, holding a cup, saw Liu Changcun striding towards her.

But his gaze went past the other person and landed on the figure that suddenly left as if fleeing.

It wasn't until Liu Changcun arrived that she turned her gaze away from following Lin Wanran into the car and instead looked at the man in front of her.

"Give……"

"You even remembered to save me a drink? You're getting more and more savvy."

Looking at the tea offered by the other party, Liu Changcun smiled and praised it.

If it were any other time, Ning Mengyao would probably be overjoyed to hear a man praise her like that.

But now, upon seeing Lin Wanran, she seemed somewhat confused.

Watching the man take the cup and drink it in large gulps, she quietly asked him after he had finished the whole cup.

"She's your ex-wife, isn't she..."

"Ah."

Liu Changcun responded with a single sentence.

Although he didn't want to embarrass himself in public, Lin Wanran seemed to have no such concerns.

She had been speaking quite loudly, so it wasn't surprising that Ning Mengyao, who was standing in front of the shop, heard some of it.

“A crazy woman. Remember her face. Next time she comes to the store, throw water at her.”

"You can't do that..."

"I gave my permission. If anything happens, I'll take the blame."

"OK then……"

Although somewhat hesitant, Ning Mengyao still chose to blindly follow.

Upon hearing the answer, Liu Changcun looked at her in surprise.

"You actually agreed? Just kidding, just ignore her."

"Can you stop teasing me... I'll take it seriously."

Hearing the soft voice from beside him, Liu Changcun silently looked at the other person.

A few seconds later, he looked away and observed the workers who were working inside the store.

He was about to step forward and give some instructions when, before he could speak, he heard Ning Mengyao's voice again beside him.

"Just now...were you trying to hit her?"

"..."

Liu Changcun turned his gaze from the store to Ning Mengyao, who had asked the question.

I carefully observed the other person's expression.

She looked very serious at that moment, not like she was joking with herself.

"What do you think?"

"They're grabbing his collar...he probably wants to hit him..."

"You guessed right, but I held back."

"..."

Upon hearing Liu Changcun's reply, Ning Mengyao rarely added anything further.

Instead, she stared intently at the man in front of her with a bewildered look. After a while, she lowered her eyes.

"So...did you divorce her because you drove her away...?"

The words coming from Ning Mengyao left Liu Changcun momentarily bewildered.

He looked at the woman with her face downcast and frowned.

Do you think I'm the kind of person who would commit domestic violence?

"..."

Ning Mengyao, who had been silent, slowly shook her head and nervously picked at her trouser leg.

Her fingernails traced across the fabric as she whispered nervously.

"No, Mr. Liu is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside... Just like I said before, this is all based on my observations in private."

"..."

Liu Changcun pursed his lips and looked at Ning Mengyao with a complicated expression.

"You were probably just trying to scare her, you definitely wouldn't have actually done anything to her..."

How could her analysis be so accurate?

Hearing the woman's confident assessment, Liu Changcun disliked the feeling that his thoughts could be so easily guessed.

"If you push me too far, I'll resort to violence. I'm not that easy to talk to."

"You're lying again..."

"Once the store opens, you have to work hard. If you dare to slack off or be lazy... I will punish you severely."

"You will not."

Ning Mengyao shook her head, still not believing Liu Changcun's scare tactics.

He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Changcun, who was pretending to be fierce in front of him.

Said with a smile.

"Because...your gentleness comes from your very bones, no matter what you say..."

"you know too much."

"what?"

"How's the new product you were asked to research coming along?"

Liu Changcun let slip that he had revealed his true feelings.

Upon hearing this, Ning Mengyao quickly changed the subject, not wanting the other person to continue analyzing her.

"We made seven flavors, including fruit tea with watermelon and apple, and five different flavors of milk tea."

"..."

He's a genius.

Even Liu Changcun couldn't help but admire Ning Mengyao's answer.

It's amazing that they were able to develop so many new products with different flavors in such a short time.

"Bring them back for me to try. I'll give each one a unique name, and you'll have to memorize them. I'll give you a special training session before we open."

"understood."

"Keep it up, you won't be treated badly if you work for me."

"Uh-huh."

Ning Mengyao smiled and replied, completely trusting the man in front of her.

----------

Lin Wanran really couldn't understand why Liu Changcun would change so much just because of a divorce.

In the past, she only needed to show a little kindness to make the other party soften and obey her.

Thinking about what the other person had just said to her, Lin Wanran's depressed mood became even more pronounced.

First, Wen Yunwei, who was parachuted into the company, stole the company's attention.

This morning, she was even asked to vacate her office for Wen Yunwei to use.

She learned that the other party had an ambiguous relationship with her ex-husband, and after finally making the trip, she was threatened by her ex-husband.

Even when she arrived at her own doorstep, her biological son refused to let her in.

Lin Wanran felt that things were going very badly for her.

It was as if everything was against her.

Unable to find relief from her frustration, she left the company during working hours and hurriedly drove back to work.

Take the elevator from the underground parking lot to the company.

As soon as they entered, they bumped into Gu Nan, who was about to leave.

The other party's male secretary was with him.

The two walked out of the company gate chatting and laughing, but upon seeing Lin Wanran in front of him, Gu Nan, who had been in a fairly good mood, immediately calmed down.

"boss……"

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you for over two hours."

"I didn't eat breakfast, and I was thinking..."

"Does it really take two hours to have breakfast?"

Interrupting Lin Wanran's blurted excuse, Gu Nan's good mood before leaving home completely vanished.

He frowned and stared at Lin Wanran in front of him. After a few seconds, he looked away to avoid her gaze.

He walked around to the side without saying a word; Gu Nan was furious.

The male secretary following beside her hurriedly caught up.

All that remained for Lin Wanran was a receding figure.

Standing at the company entrance, Lin Wanran's complexion grew increasingly worse.

Gu Nan, who once had high hopes for her, is now giving her the cold shoulder.

Realizing this, my already depressed mood reached its peak at this moment.

With a dark expression, he walked silently toward the company.

As I passed by the tea room, I happened to see Wen Yunwei walking out of it with a water cup in her hand.

The two exchanged glances, and Wen Yunwei nodded at her in a friendly manner.

Lin Wanran pretended not to see it and walked towards her office on her own.

"Um... this is my office now..."

Just as her hand touched the doorknob, Wen Yunwei's voice came from behind her.

Lin Wanran realized what was happening and turned around to look at the figure walking towards her.

Watching Wen Yunwei smile awkwardly, then quickly open the office door and enter.

"..."

The surrounding colleagues also looked over, and after noticing Lin Wanran's gaze, they all hurriedly pretended to be very busy.

Standing in front of the door, Lin Wanran gritted her teeth.

She wouldn't allow herself to live like this, and she absolutely wouldn't allow that despicable Wen Yunwei to be so smug for too long.

The necklace design is fantastic, but the company is planning to release a new bracelet next time.

This is Lin Wanran's forte.

It was during her previous company that Gu Nan noticed the bracelet she designed, which led to her being poached by him at the beginning of the year.

Jewelry is not limited to a single type; it includes necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, and so on.

Lin Wanran has always been proud of her exceptional design talent.

She would never allow Wen Yunwei, this newcomer, to step on her head.

Turning around, Lin Wanran stared intently at the closed office in front of her.

This was her private office until this morning.

It boasts advantages such as privacy, spaciousness, good ventilation, and comfortable seating.

She has been the owner of this office ever since she joined the company.

What belongs to her will eventually belong to her.

This time, I simply lost to Wen Yunwei by accident in an area where I was not good at.

Next time... she will take back everything that belongs to her.

It's not just colleagues and bosses who are paying attention.

And... this office that originally belonged to me.

Turning around angrily, Lin Wanran walked towards the public office area and came to the spot that originally belonged to Wen Yunwei but now belonged to her.

He looked around the cramped space and the uniformly configured computers.

Her face was reflected on the computer screen, which was not yet turned on.

Lin Wanran leaned back in that unreal office chair, tilting her head back as she calmly and thoughtfully considered the situation.

She was daydreaming.

I fantasize that I will soon be able to get away from here.

Back to... her private office.
