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

"After that night, Mr. Shi agreed to sign the contract. Now all we need to do is pick an auspicious day that satisfies both parties, have him sign the document, and make the payment."

Wang Guang looked at Xu Daikui and said.

Xu Daikui hadn't expected him to agree so easily.

Surely it's not because she's Mrs. Zhou?

The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, then she looked at Wang Guang and asked, "How much money is he planning to invest?"

Five million.

Wang Guang smiled and said, "Although this Mr. Shi has some moral failings, he is quite generous. The other investors I persuaded only spent a maximum of 500,000."

Xu Daikui nodded. "That is indeed an astronomical price. Have you decided on a date for the opening ceremony?"

"What do you think?" Wang Guang respected her opinion.

Xu Daikui thought for a moment, "How about after the Spring Festival? The hospital renovation won't be finished until at least after the New Year."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I'll be mainly dealing with qualification approvals and equipment and material procurement during this period. You can stay home and plan the number of people to recruit and the requirements, then make a recruitment brochure and send it out. I'll take care of dealing with clients from now on."

After what happened last time, he dared not take her to bars again.

"Okay, sure."

After talking with Wang Guang for about half an hour, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Seeing that the snow was falling heavier and heavier within minutes, Wang Guang frowned. "Isn't it time to pick up Mengmeng? It's snowing so heavily, I'll take you there."

Hsu Dai-kui has a driver's license, but she hasn't bought a car in the past few years. She plans to buy a small electric car after she opens her business and has some extra money.

This will make it easier to pick up and drop off Mengmeng in the future.

"No need, Director. You need to go back and take care of your son. I can manage on my own."

Wang Guang smiled and said, "My son is already in college. He can take care of himself, so don't be so polite with me."

Finally, he dropped her off at the kindergarten gate. Just as he was about to say that he would take them back after picking up Mengmeng, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that he had something to do, Xu Daikui quickly opened the door and got out of the car. "Director, you can go back now. It will be easy for me to take a taxi later."

After saying that, she waved to him and quickly disappeared into the crowd of parents picking up and dropping off their children.

...

In the distance, Fang Qing was driving a Maybach and happened to be passing by this street, waiting for the red light.

My gaze inadvertently shifted and I saw Xu Daikui wearing a warm yellow coat, getting out of a man's car, and then braving the heavy snow to go to the kindergarten gate.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Yanci through the rearview mirror.

I wonder if he saw what just happened.

The man's gaze also lingered there, clearly indicating that he had seen it.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "That man just now didn't seem to be Shen Jun, but why does his wife always have to pick up and drop off his child?"

Although Fang Qing admitted that Zhou Yanci was an absolute scumbag, Shen Jun also didn't avoid suspicion. Zhou Yanci and Xu Daikui were still not divorced, and his ambiguous relationship with her, which resulted in a child, was bound to upset the Zhou family.

Zhou Yanci was already used to it.

Perhaps it was because she loved Xu Daikui that she revolved around Xu Meng all the time.

His long, slender fingers rested on the edge of the car, a faint smile playing on his lips. His voice was colder than the snow outside, "Who knows, maybe she's doing this willingly, acting as a babysitter for someone else's child."

"what?"

Fang Qing was puzzled.

Is it possible that it wasn't just the husband cheating, but that they were each having their own affairs?

This is so exciting...

Xie Jia didn't tell me either.

Just as he was stunned, the light turned green and honking horns sounded from behind. He was about to step on the gas and drive away when he heard the man's calm voice.

"Turn around there."

Seeing Wang Guang's car waiting patiently like a hunter waiting for prey, Zhou Yanci felt inexplicably annoyed.

*

"Honey, quickly put on your gloves and scarf."

Seeing Teacher Cao bring Xu Meng out, Xu Daikui immediately stepped forward with the things she had prepared.

Xu Meng's face was fair and tender, and she nodded with a smile.

After dressing her securely, Xu Daikui took her hand and was about to leave when suddenly, a familiar Maybach came into view.

Looking at that prestigious license plate, her heart pounded wildly, then sank to the bottom.

Perhaps not wanting to witness his ambiguous and intimate moments with Xu Jiaojiao time and time again, she clenched her fingers and tried to leave quickly, ignoring the scene.

The car suddenly accelerated and stopped beside her.

With no way to avoid it, she glanced to the side.

The front window rolled down, revealing Fang Qingyang's handsome face, who smiled warmly at her.

"Madam, please get in the car with the child. It's so cold, don't let them get too cold."

Although he and Xu Daikui had agreed in private to call each other by name, he still couldn't be completely impolite in front of Zhou Yanci.

Seeing that it wasn't Zhou Yanci, Xu Daikui inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

She then realized that the thought of seeing him now filled her with resistance and disgust.

She was unsure whether she should be glad that she had finally broken free from that relationship, or sad that her heartfelt love had been worn away until it left no trace.

"Mrs?"

Fang Qing noticed that she was staring blankly at him and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Xu Daikui snapped out of her daze.

I guessed there was no one in the car, otherwise Fang Qing wouldn't have come over to greet me so familiarly, and even invited me to get in the car because she was worried that I would catch a cold.

Zhou Yanci disliked her; if he were in her shoes, he certainly wouldn't be happy to give her a ride.

"Hurry up and get on, we can't stay here for long."

"it is good."

Considering Xie Jia's situation, Xu Daikui went to the back seat.

After all, she and Xie Jia were close, and if she knew that Xie Jia refused to ride in Fang Qing's car to avoid suspicion, she would definitely be angry.

She led Mengmeng to open the back door of the car, and suddenly, a cold and aloof face appeared before her eyes.

She subconsciously bit her lip, then tried to close the car door.

Zhou Yanci raised her hand to stop her, saying, "What, you even have to avoid your husband's presence?"

Xu Daikui frowned.

"Mengmeng, come up here."

Before she could react, Zhou Yanci reached out and lifted Xu Meng into the car, and then the two of them moved to the inside of the car.

Suddenly, a series of honking horns sounded in her ears, so Xu Daikui had no choice but to get into the car.

Her hands were already a little stiff from the cold, and the car's heater was on full blast. The alternation between hot and cold caused her fingers to burn and ache after a short while.

She looked down and rubbed her fingers together.

Zhou Yanci glanced at her. "I'll have Fang Qing deliver a car to you tomorrow."

Xu Daikui was puzzled.

While sending Xu Jiaojiao villas, flowers, and hospital visits, he also gave her credit cards and cars.

Even a rotten cucumber shouldn't be treated like this.

She withdrew her fingers, gave a slight smile, and said, "I might consider it if it's about divorce settlements."

Her implication was quite clear.

She can take the car back, but only if he signs the divorce papers first.

"You can understand it that way too," Zhou Yanci said calmly.

"How about tomorrow?"

"It's been four days, you should have finished watching it by now, right?"

"no."

The man paused for a moment, then coldly uttered two words.

Xu Daikui strongly suspected that he was deliberately delaying, but she didn't understand his reasons for delaying.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the man coldly turned his face away, leaving her with only half of the back of his head.

Then, he looked down and asked Xu Meng, who was sitting obediently to his side, as if it were a casual question.

"Does your father sleep with you at night?"
