After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

"President Fu, President Zhou?"

Before Xu Daikui could respond, Wang Guang stood up and greeted her.

He used to be a CEO in business, but after his wife passed away, he changed careers and came to work at a pet hospital as the financial director.

"Mr. Wang."

Fu Minghao vaguely remembered him; he seemed to have been in the same social class as his father.

How did I end up working with Xu Daikui?

From a distance, the two seemed to have a harmonious relationship.

He looked at Wang Guang with a faint smile, "Long time no see. My dad often talks about you. You don't mind sharing a table, do you?"

Fu Minghao glanced meaningfully at him and Xu Daikui for a moment, then suggested sharing a table with a certain purpose.

Wang Guang paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Daikui, "Is that alright?"

Xu Daikui naturally didn't want to.

Fu Minghao didn't give her a chance to speak at all. He casually pulled out the chair next to her, beckoned Zhou Yanci, and sat down next to Wang Guang.

"Mr. Wang, there's no need to ask. She's my sister-in-law, and the man next to me is her husband, whom she's officially married to. She won't mind us having dinner together."

Wang Guang was astonished, but after glancing at Zhou Yanci's stunningly beautiful face, he ultimately said nothing more.

My feelings for Xu Daikui are now more complicated.

After Zhou Yanci sat down, he did not say a word the entire time, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the woman beside him.

Xu Daikui was enveloped by the familiar, cold scent emanating from the man, and her expression became irritable, her breathing slightly disordered.

"Eat up, sister-in-law! You guys were eating so well just now, why did you stop eating as soon as we arrived? Aren't you welcoming us?"

Fu Minghao is usually a smart aleck, especially since he knows his brother is a tight-lipped jerk. He can only act as his mouth-mouth substitute and play the annoying role.

Xu Daikui was indeed not very welcoming to them.

She ignored Fu Minghao, resisting the urge to get up and leave. She bit her lip and looked at Wang Guang, "Director, are you full? If you are, I'll go pay the bill."

They should go back.

Anyway, the things we were supposed to discuss can't be discussed anymore.

Wang Guang noticed that something was wrong with the couple, but he didn't show it on his face. "I'm fine now. How about you? I saw you only ate a few bites. You'll probably be hungry this afternoon."

The air around them seemed to freeze as soon as those words of concern were uttered.

An invisible chill enveloped the dining table.

Xu Daikui felt extremely uncomfortable. "I'm fine."

"Then I'll go pay the bill."

As she was about to stand up, Fu Minghao, ever the perceptive one, pulled Wang Guang back. "Mr. Wang, there's no way a girl should pay for a meal. It's my treat today. Come with me to settle the bill, and I'd like to tell you about my dad..."

Wang Guang was half-dragged and half-pulled away by Fu Minghao.

Xu Daikui immediately stood up, wanting to follow.

But she was sitting against the wall, so if she wanted to leave, Zhou Yanci had to get up and make way for her.

But the man remained silent with a cold expression, showing no sign of making way.

She didn't know what he meant.

She had no choice but to speak coldly, "Mr. Zhou, could you please move aside? I need to leave."

Upon hearing "President Zhou," Zhou Yanci raised his handsome eyes to look at her. "Colleague?"

It took Xu Daikui a while to realize that he was asking about Wang Guang, and she nodded with her lips pursed.

"Why did you come out to eat alone? Is the hospital cafeteria food bad?"

Zhou Yanci asked in a calm tone, as if it were a routine matter.

Xu Daikui had almost completely abandoned her feelings for him these past few days, but being so close to him, the innate pressure from a man still made her heart beat a little erratically.

Especially when his deep eyes looked at her, she always felt like she had nowhere to hide.

She took a deep breath, clenched her fingers, and her voice unconsciously became clear and crisp, "Hmm. Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wild ones. Doesn't President Zhou also like to eat outside?"

She used a double entendre and didn't care whether Zhou Yanci understood or not.

"Our divorce agreement."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Minghao and Wang Guang walked over.

Wang Guang looked at her first, "Dai Kui, let's go, I'll give you a ride home on my way."

When Fu Minghao heard him call out so affectionately, his emotions immediately exploded.

If any stinky man dared to call him "Dear Xuanxuan" to his face, he would definitely catch him and give him a good beating.

However, Zhou Yanci remained seated as steadily as an old monk in meditation.

It was as if he didn't care at all that his head was covered in green grass.

"it is good."

Xu Daikui agreed to Wang Guang's request, then looked at Zhou Yanci again, signaling him to make way.

Zhou Yanci met her anxious eyes, looked at her for a moment, his deep eyes shrouded in layers of mist.

"Should we continue eating, or go with him?"

He glanced at the barely touched dishes on the table and asked in a calm voice.

To Fu Minghao, his words meant, "Who would you choose, me or that old man?"

But Xu Daikui found it laughable.

His tone made it clear that he regarded her as just a stranger.

He only asked a few questions as a formality, just because the two of them had gotten their marriage certificate.

It has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy.

However, if this had happened in the past, she would have happily imagined it and then stayed by his side without hesitation, hoping that he would show her some kindness.

But now, she won't make the same mistake again.

"It's time to go to work, and Director Wang and I happen to be going the same way." She appeared distant.

Zhou Yanci gave a very faint smile, then got up and moved away.

Xu Daikui kept her eyes straight ahead, ignoring the man completely, and followed Wang Guang away.

Wang Guang glanced at her and smiled, "Go out and buy some snacks to take back, so you won't get hungry this afternoon."

"Okay, that's what I think too."

...

Fu Minghao watched the man and woman walking away side by side, chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Yanci.

"How can you tolerate this?"
