After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

This scene was witnessed by Shen Man, who happened to be walking over.

Shen Man paused for a moment.

Although she disliked Lin Fan, she had to admit that since the divorce, Lin Fan had raised Tuantuan... seemingly better than when she was in the Su family.

The genuine smile on the little girl's face was something I rarely saw before.

Before, Su Qing was too busy, and Tuantuan would always play on the iPad alone. Now, although the environment is a bit worse, Tuantuan is definitely happier than before.

"Hmph, what's the use of being able to take care of children? You're still just a roadside vendor."

Shen Man forcibly suppressed the slight emotion in her heart, stepped forward, and slammed the "Number 3" note onto the table.

"Boss, the goods have arrived."

Lin Fan looked up and saw Shen Man, who was dressed up like a peacock, and raised an eyebrow.

"Miss Shen isn't feeding the dog today?"

Lin Fan washed his hands while making a light, teasing remark.

Shen Man blushed and retorted, "It's none of your business! My dog ​​has a good appetite today, can't he eat two baskets?"

"no."

Lin Fan answered crisply, "Same as always, one cage per person."

"you!!"

Shen Man was so angry that she ground her teeth.

This blockhead! How can he be so inflexible!

"Lin Fan, we've known each other for five years, after all. Look..."

Shen Man lay on the table, blinking her big eyes.

"Please be lenient with me. I'll pay double! And I can even help you... help you take care of Tuantuan!"

One cage per person.

Lin Fan lifted the lid of the steamer, and the steaming aroma instantly smothered Shen Man's face. "Either buy or leave. There are hundreds of people waiting behind you."

"..."

Shen Man was completely speechless.

Is this man's heart made of stone?

"Buy it! I'll buy it, okay?!"

Shen Man angrily scanned the code.

After receiving the steamed buns, she didn't hide in a corner to eat them like she had done the previous two days.

Today, she's going to eat openly and honestly!

She pulled over a small, empty stool and plopped down next to Tuantuan.

"Aunt Shen?"

Tuantuan looked up and recognized Shen Man.

"Hmph, you little ingrate, you still remember your auntie?" Shen Man pinched the chubby little face.

"Your aunt bought you so many toys, but you never kiss me."

"Hello, Auntie~" Tuantuan greeted sweetly, then pointed to the steamed bun in Shen Man's hand.

"Is Auntie here to eat Daddy's big steamed buns too?"

"Yes, taste it for your mother to see if it's poisoned."

Shen Man retorted stubbornly, then eagerly picked up a steamed bun.

"Awoo!"

Take a bite.

The piping hot crab roe soup instantly filled my mouth.

"Ugh—!!!"

Shen Man squinted her eyes happily, swinging her feet joyfully on the ground.

too delicious!

That's it!

This is the taste of freedom!

Even sitting on a small stool by the roadside, even with a trash can right next to her, even having to endure Lin Fan's cold face, as long as she had this steamed bun, Shen Man felt that this place was paradise!

While eating, she secretly took out her phone and took a picture of Lin Fan, who was busy at work.

In the photo, amidst the swirling smoke, Lin Fan's profile is focused, exuding captivating handsomeness.

Looking at the photo, Shen Man, as if possessed, didn't send it to Su Qing, but instead saved it to her private album.

"This cooking... I wish I could eat it every day."

As Shen Man licked the soup off her fingers, a dangerous thought popped into her mind:

Or... should I try to poach Lin Fan?

Should I make him my personal chef?

Anyway, he and Qingqing are divorced. If I hire him, it shouldn't be considered betraying my best friend, right?

……

The hustle and bustle of the night market continues.

Although a long line formed in front of Lin Fan's stall, soon some discordant notes began to sound jarring.

"Hey! Why are you cutting in line?!"

At the back of the line, a male college student wearing glasses and carrying a backpack protested to a middle-aged man with a pointed face and monkey-like features, his face flushed.

The male college student had been queuing for over an hour and was finally almost there when this middle-aged man suddenly squeezed in and even called on several people behind him to cut in line.

"Who cut in line? I just took that spot!"

The man with the pointed chin and monkey-like face—the same scalper who had just sold the account to Shen Man, nicknamed "Rat"—slanted his eyes and shoved the college student with a roguish grin. "Go away! What are you doing, poor student? If you don't have money for an account, go wait in the back!"

"You!" The college student was so angry his glasses were askew. "You're a scalper! That's against the rules! I'm telling the boss!"

"Tell the boss?"

The rat scoffed, pulling a wad of banknotes from his pocket and swishing them around with a clatter. "The boss's a businessman; he sells to whoever pays! I brought ten people with me today to support him! You poor wretch who can't even afford the extra-price number, do you think the boss'd even bother with you?"

Although the surrounding diners were also furious, most dared not speak out when they saw the thuggish accomplices behind Haozi.

Shen Man sat on a small stool next to her, slurping up soup dumplings while frowning.

"These people are so annoying, they're ruining my appetite."

Although she had just bought a scalped ticket, it was because she was in a hurry.

Now, seeing this group of people bullying a student, her sense of justice has resurfaced.

Just as Shen Man was about to stand up and help the student.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Lin Fan slammed the strainer in his hand heavily against the edge of the stainless steel bucket.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a signal that instantly silenced the noisy scene.

"What happened?"

Lin Fan raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and precisely locked onto the scalper named Haozi.

The mouse felt uneasy under Lin Fan's cold gaze, but relying on his status as a "big client," he still forced a smile and approached.

"Hey, boss, it's nothing! It's just some naughty little kid causing trouble. Come on, give me a basket of steamed buns and a plate of fried rice! All to go! This is big business for me!"

As he spoke, he slammed the money on the table, looking incredibly arrogant.

He had a very good plan: buy from Lin Fan at the original price, then resell it later at a price 200 higher, and he could make a lot of money this way!

Lin Fan didn't even glance at the money.

He pointed to the male college student who had been pushed to the side and asked casually, "Was he in front of you in line just now?"

Mouse's face stiffened, his eyes darting around: "No way! Boss, you're mistaken, I've been in line all along..."

"I'm not blind."

Lin Fan interrupted him.

"Take your money and get out."

"I don't sell my stall to scalpers."

With just two simple sentences, the rat was sentenced to death.

The mouse was stunned, then flew into a rage: "Boss! Isn't this a bit much? I'm giving you real money! You're not going to take advantage of this? Do you have a grudge against money?"

"And!" Mouse pointed at Shen Man, who was sitting next to him, eating with her mouth full of oil.

"That pretty girl just now also bought an account from a scalper, why did you sell it to her? This is discriminatory! Believe me or not, I'll file a complaint against you!"

Shen Man, who was enjoying her meal, was suddenly caught in the crossfire and almost choked to death on a mouthful of soup.

"Cough cough cough!"

Shen Man's eyes widened. This damned scalper, dares to drag me into this mess?

Lin Fan turned his head, glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Shen Man, then turned back to look at Haozi, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"She's stupid, willing to waste money, it's none of my business."

Shen Man: "???"
