Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 13 Did he block me?

As an action-oriented person.

Liu Changcun was extremely efficient.

In just one morning, he completed the initial plan for the bookstore's renovation.

If you clean out all the junk books in the store, the recycling price will definitely not be equal to the purchase price.

Although there was a slight overall loss, considering the potential future gains, this loss is entirely within an acceptable range.

As the last batch of books was moved out of the store, the bookstore, which was not very big to begin with, suddenly felt much more spacious.

He didn't lift a finger the whole time, but instead raised his hand to wipe his forehead, which wasn't sweaty at all.

His face was beaming with immense satisfaction.

They need to find a way to promote themselves. With such a prime location backed by No. 16 Middle School, why don't they think about getting a stable customer base from those students?

In Liu Changcun's view now, it's no different from throwing money directly on the ground.

The ringing of his cell phone interrupted the man's reverie.

He quickly pulled out his phone and glanced at it.

Liu Changcun, who had initially thought there was a response regarding the script, was immediately displeased by the notes displayed on the screen.

Note: [Wife]

That is, Lin Wanran.

Although Liu Changcun, who once loved his wife dearly, was not good at saying sweet nothings.

But his love for his wife is beyond doubt.

Liu Changcun is completely oblivious to this, to the point that he had no idea he still had his ex-wife's phone number in his phone after the divorce.

The phone was still ringing incessantly.

The thumb pressed down quickly, and the ringing stopped abruptly halfway through.

With swift action, the number was successfully blocked.

Liu Changcun didn't know why Lin Wanran had called.

He didn't want to know the reason.

Lin Wanran is a thing of the past.

Now he only wants to look to the future.

Bookstores need comics and novels, and the space around the cashier shouldn't be wasted.

Sell notebooks and stationery; if possible, also stock some cartoon-patterned card art.

After all, No. 16 Middle School is a primary and junior high school, and those primary school students cannot be let go.

I'll make a blind box when I get home tonight.

One yuan is all it takes to draw a prize. The grand prize is a cash reward, the second prize is a pack of cards, the third prize is another chance, and the consolation prize is a library voucher.

However, a deposit must be paid in advance to use the library card; otherwise, some people might borrow books and not return them.

Guaranteed profit without loss.

As noon approached, the sweltering summer heat caused both indoor and outdoor temperatures to rise gradually.

But Liu Changcun felt no irritation at this moment.

Getting carried away with the planning, I picked up the notebook on the table that I used to record borrowed books, turned to the last page, and started listing the items to be purchased.

--------

Lin Wanran could hardly believe her eyes.

Looking at the phone call that had been quickly disconnected, his previously calm expression suddenly changed.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the car, facing the steering wheel, she tried her best to remain calm.

You might have pressed the wrong button.

That good-for-nothing Liu Changcun wouldn't dare hang up on me.

Thinking to herself to calm down, Lin Wanran dialed the number again after she had calmed down.

However, the call to her ex-husband didn't even ring once.

The female voice coming from the receiver completely stunned Lin Wanran.

It wasn't until the slap landed hard on the horn that the guess was finally confirmed.

"He blocked me?"

The tone of his voice rose uncontrollably.

"He actually dared to block me!"

He was starting to get furious.

We've known each other for eighteen years and been married for fifteen.

Lin Wanran had never seen Liu Changcun disobey her. Whenever the two had a dispute, he would always be the one to give in to her first.

Over the course of their eighteen-year relationship, Lin Wanran had unknowingly grown accustomed to the other person apologizing first.

But she had long forgotten that she was the one who took the initiative to pursue him at school.

Marriage is supposed to be about two equal people supporting each other.

If one party is in a lower social position, such a marriage will inevitably encounter problems over time.

The logic is simple, but Lin Wanran doesn't understand it.

All she knew was that Liu Changcun had hung up on her, which made her, who had been in a somewhat good mood, feel incredibly bad. Undeterred, she tried dialing again, but the unreachable number remained unanswered no matter how many times she dialed.

Lin Wanran's face was sullen.

I started the car and drove towards the bookstore.

In less than twenty minutes, her vehicle arrived at its destination.

Lin Wanran parked the car under the shade of a tree by the roadside, turned off the engine, and got out of the car.

He slammed the car door shut with a loud bang, but walked toward the bookstore without looking back.

"Liu Changcun!"

She was calling out the man's name.

Lin Wanran appeared at the entrance of the bookstore.

The man sitting on the stool was looking at the notebook in his hand with a serious expression. Hearing the shout, he turned his gaze toward the door.

With just one glance, his calm expression instantly changed.

His brows were furrowed, as if he had seen something dirty.

"roll."

"..."

Her angry steps faltered, and Lin Wanran's expression at that moment was beyond words.

Three parts awkwardness, seven parts confusion.

Ninety points of anger and embarrassment.

"What did you say?"

"I told you to get lost. A good ex should be like they're dead and never contact you again."

In Lin Wanran's memory, Liu Changcun would never say such a thing to her.

So much so that she selectively forgot the first word she heard, forcing the man to repeat the extended version.

It would be a lie to say that there was no affection at all after fifteen years of marriage.

After all, Lin Wanran was deeply in love with Liu Changcun when she was young.

Two days after the divorce, Lin Wanran, who had gradually calmed down, felt a little guilty for some reason.

For Liu Changcun, or perhaps for his two children.

Perhaps her conscience as a mother had not completely dissipated, because she originally thought of contacting Liu Changcun to see if she could buy some new clothes for the children at home.

However, Lin Wanran, who used to be so focused on her work, no longer knew the size of her child's clothes.

The main reason she called was to ask about the clothing sizes of Liu Changcun's children.

She also wanted to see if Liu Changcun was unable to even guarantee the most basic living standards after their divorce.

If it really comes to that, she might help the other party a little.

In this way, she can both confirm that her choice to divorce was correct and satisfy her self-esteem, which has been eroded by materialism.

However, Liu Changcun's reaction was beyond her expectations.

The excitement I had imagined, and even the haggard look I had after the divorce, did not materialize.

On the contrary, his energy and spirit were much better than a few days ago, and he looked as radiant as a normal person.

Seeing Liu Changcun's current state, Lin Wanran felt a tightness in her chest.

The man's appearance was still outstanding; he was the type who would stand out in a crowd.

However, he now showed a look of disgust, seemingly without the slightest bit of joy at her arrival.

"Liu Changcun...do you know what you're saying?"

"Not only do they know it, but they can also say it again."

Looking at Lin Wanran standing at the entrance of the bookstore, he wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention to his ex-wife blocking the door if she hadn't already stepped into the bookstore with one foot already inside.

In just a few days, Lin Wanran changed her look again.

To celebrate her divorce? She even permed and dyed her long, black hair.

The makeup on her face was more noticeable.

Hot and sexy.

Although she is still beautiful thanks to her facial features, she gives off a low-class feeling.

Liu Changcun also took in the vehicles parked right outside the store.

There is absolutely no way she could have bought this car on her own merits.

The implication of showing off is obvious.

But Liu Changcun saw this behavior as nothing more than childish showing off.

Their attention was once again focused on Lin Wanran.

To ensure that his ex-wife, who couldn't understand human speech, could accurately understand his meaning, he spoke again and repeated himself.

"Ms. Lin, please leave my shop as soon as possible."
