Living Together Again

When Jiang Fan woke up from sleeping on the sofa, he felt pain all over his body. He was even more heartbroken that the bedding he hadn't touched yet had been occupied by someone else. Jiang Fan was awakened by his phone. It was still dark, but Tang Wan's phone was ringing constantly.

In a daze, he picked up the phone and answered the call. Immediately, Li Jinhe's "Buddhist Lion's Roar" plus a warm greeting came from the other side. The general meaning was that when this little girl came back, she would definitely be skinned. If she dared to sneak off to Washington, she would be disowned.

After listening to Li Jinhe's angry outburst, Jiang Fan whispered, "Mom, it's me, Jiang Fan. Tang Wan is here with me."

Beep!

The call was disconnected. Jiang Fan looked at his phone in confusion when a text message arrived.

"I'm going on a trip with Lao Tang. Xiaowan can stay with you. I'm at ease. If you dare to call me, I'll teach you a lesson with military combat skills."

Jiang Fan looked at his phone in confusion. Didn't his mother-in-law worry about Tang Wan at all? It seemed like there was nothing to worry about since they had lived together for three years.

While Jiang Fan was confused, Tang Wan came down from the second floor, wearing the pajamas that Jiang Fan hadn't had a chance to wear, and sleeping in the bedding that Jiang Fan hadn't had a chance to sleep in.

Tang Wan seemed very calm. She looked around the room, glanced around, found a bottle of mineral water in the refrigerator, came back and sat down next to Jiang Fan, and asked with a tilt of her head, "Checking your phone? When we were still married, I didn't see you checking my phone calls. You didn't even ask when I was talking to Lin Xuan. Why are you checking your phone after the divorce? Do you need me to help you?"

Jiang Fan turned his head to look at Tang Wan, who hadn't even washed her face, and took a deep breath with his eyes closed.

"Tang Wan, if you dare to drink alcohol again, I'll definitely...!"

"Jiang Fan, I'm hungry."

Tang Wan deliberately avoided the topic of drinking and took her phone, opening the blacklist in front of Jiang Fan. Inside was Lin Xuan's number. Then she threw the phone on the sofa and jumped up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Looking at Tang Wan's back, Jiang Fan felt strange. They had just divorced for less than a day and were going to live together again?

Listening to the humming sounds from the bathroom, Jiang Fan stood up and walked to the kitchen. Fortunately, he had prepared some ingredients yesterday night; otherwise, they would have to eat instant noodles. While making traditional breakfast, he relayed his mother-in-law's message.

"Mom and Lao Tang went on a trip and said they took the house keys with them. Mom wants you to stay here with me. If you mind..."

"I don't mind. It's not like we haven't lived together before. Hurry up, Jiang Fan. I have to go to work today."

Listening to her shameless words, Jiang Fan almost wanted to grab the pot and go to the bathroom to fight with Tang Wan.

What was going on here?

They were divorced.

The contract was breached.

He was burdened with a debt of four million, and now they were living together again?

Jiang Fan's heart told him to resist, he must resist. He took a deep breath.

"You hurry up and wash up. I also need to wash up and go out. I have a job interview today."

After he finished speaking, Tang Wan showed half of her head from the bathroom and asked in confusion, "Jiang Fan, did you wash my clothes when you came back yesterday? Maybe you should quit your job and become my 'personal assistant' instead!"

Jiang Fan replied in a bad mood, "And watch my ex-wife and her old love be affectionate with each other? Even though we had a contract marriage, I still want some dignity as a man, don't I?"

"Old love? You mean Lin Xuan? My old love? Jiang Fan, are you jealous?"

Tang Wan had a mischievous smile on her face. Jiang Fan simply ignored her, but this only made Tang Wan more curious. She put her hands behind her back, came to Jiang Fan's side, leaned her body towards his face, and asked with a grin, "Are you jealous? You checked my phone in the morning and didn't even frown when you saw Lin Xuan's number in the blacklist. You're jealous, right? Jiang Fan, do you like me?"

Jiang Fan didn't respond.

Tang Wan continued to 'question persistently', and when Jiang Fan helplessly left the kitchen with breakfast, Tang Wan suddenly shouted to him, "Jiang Fan! If you just say you're jealous, I won't choose Lin Xuan!"

"Yes! I am jealous! But now it's time for you to eat breakfast, understand? And there's one unfortunate thing for me, which is that I have to start taking care of your life again."

"It's your honor, Jiang Fan. You don't know, many people approached me in the bar last night... I'm sorry! Let's eat breakfast."

Both of them didn't realize something important.

The way they interacted after their divorce had changed.

Jiang Fan was no longer respectful towards Tang Wan.

Tang Wan also didn't treat Jiang Fan like a personal assistant anymore.

She was afraid that Jiang Fan would ask her about what happened in the bar. At the same time, when she heard Jiang Fan say he was jealous, her mood improved, her bad emotions disappeared, and she didn't feel any reluctance about living here. However, inside, Jiang Fan was groaning.

"My four million yuan is even more ridiculous than a clown."

But! The money still needs to be repaid.

This is what the old man had taught him since he was young. As a man, you don't need to have great achievements or be particularly strong, but remember one thing: a promise made is a promise kept. This is how a man should conduct himself.

The old man didn't teach Jiang Fan much in his life, but he did teach him two things: responsibility and a strong sense of cleanliness.

(As for breakfast,) there were eggs, pickled vegetables, and rice porridge.

When it comes to cooking, whether during their marriage or now, Tang Wan has never had a say in it. She prefers breakfast with milk and bread and enjoys bitter coffee to refresh herself. However, Jiang Fan spent three years getting Tang Wan accustomed to having steamed buns and millet porridge for breakfast, and replacing her coffee with milk.

While eating, Jiang Fan received a reply from Glorious Group, informing him that he had time to come to the company today for a meeting. This was the result Jiang Fan wanted. What he feared was being asked numerous questions over the phone or via email. As long as they met in person, things would be easier to handle.

After finishing their meal, Tang Wan exclaimed that she was going to be late. Jiang Fan clearly understood her little trick of not wanting to wash the dishes and didn't argue with her. He cleared the table, put on his clothes, and prepared to face new challenges.

The debt of four million yuan didn't make Jiang Fan feel like his life had become gloomy. Instead, it gave him the motivation to work hard. It was this huge debt that prevented him from continuing to live the leisurely life he had for the past three years.

Taking a taxi was definitely not an option for Jiang Fan. He squeezed onto a bus and arrived at the headquarters of Glorious Group after a bumpy ride. Looking at this towering high-rise building with over ten floors, Jiang Fan was somewhat puzzled. It was office time, but why was there no one on the plaza outside the company? What was that sign?

"Watch left and right, beware of vehicles? Is it placed in the wrong spot?"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Fan straightened his chest and prepared to face new challenges. Just then, a bright red Ford F-Series truck sped past him, almost touching his nose.

His original confidence and preparation were instantly shattered. When he regained his composure, the truck had already stopped in the distance. A woman stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a black skirt that hugged her curves and a pair of high heels around seven or eight centimeters tall. The woman had a fiery hot body and dressed boldly. But in Jiang Fan's eyes, this lady was the one who almost killed him.

Before he could approach her to argue, the woman with the fiery body jogged away and disappeared inside the door of Glorious Group.

Jiang Fan pinched his chin and pondered silently in his heart, "This lady doesn't seem like a good person."
