CHAPTER 16

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Fuhai rubbed his aching waist, got up and washed with the help of Lin Mixue, and then changed into a set of casual clothes that he had prepared long ago. It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and Xu Fuhai planned to take advantage of this time to go to the capital to visit his daughter Ranran, who was a freshman. He did not tell Ranran in advance, and planned to suddenly appear in front of her and give her a big surprise. "I can't do it anymore. I have been communicating too frequently these two days. My waist can't bear it. I have to admit that I am old."

Seeing the mature and charming Lin Mixue walking towards him, Xu Fuhai sighed and shook his head. "What old or not? You're not even forty yet. Stop saying that!"

Lin Mixue came to Xu Fuhai and helped him to tidy up his clothes while scolding him. "It's mainly because you are such a good devil. I can't help myself when I see you. You have to control yourself."

Xu Fuhai looked at Lin Mixue who squatted down and carefully helped him change his shoes, and said with emotion. "Are you praising me, Old Xu?"

Lin Mixue said with a smile. "Comrade Xiaolin, you can understand it this way, but don't be proud. There is still room for improvement."

Xu Fuhai nodded and said in a leadership tone, "I know, Old Xu, I will continue to work hard and make sure I serve you comfortably and make sure you can't leave me. I will never be like Zhou Na."

Lin Mixue smiled. Hearing her mention Zhou Na, Xu Fuhai sighed and said leisurely: "Mi Xue, you say we are both women, why is there such a big difference? Zhou Na and I have been together for 16 years, and she has never looked down on me. Even if I give her my heart, it will not work for her. Do you think it's because of money? Yes, I didn't make a lot of money before, but I wasn't poor, and I never did anything to let her down, but even so, she still looked down on me."

At this point, Xu Fuhai shook his head in self-mockery. Lin Mixue stood up, listened to Xu Fuhai's words, didn't say much, just hugged him silently, and gently stroked his back. "Take what happened last night for example, look at how she treated me, like an irreconcilable enemy. Even when she proposed to remarry, she was bossy, like giving an order. In the past sixteen years, if she had been a little more friendly to me, our life wouldn't have ended up like this."

Xu Fuhai sighed and said, "Old Xu, I'm going to say something you don't want to hear. Maybe your union was wrong from the beginning because you are not the same kind of people. You are an honest and good family man, but Zhou Na is a woman who pursues excitement and novelty. She likes to hear sweet words from men and likes a life full of romance and small surprises, but you can't give her these."

Lin Mixue leaned in his arms and said softly, "Yes, I know. She was a school beauty when she was young. There were always men around her, trying to please her. If Ma Zhendong hadn't dumped her, it wouldn't be my turn as an honest man to take over."

Xu Fuhai nodded and said, "Actually, I also know that Nana treats you badly. She has been like this for so many years. She likes to be self-centered and likes compliments from others. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been deceived by Ma Zhendong's sweet words and did those things that hurt you. In fact, when I heard the news of your divorce, I knew that she would regret it sooner or later, but I didn't expect that day to come so soon."

Lin Mixue said, "Does she regret leaving me? She regrets not getting any money!"

Xu Fuhai snorted and said, "Old Xu, you are only half right. Money is one reason, and the other reason is that she and Ma Zhendong will never have a good ending."

Lin Mixue sighed and said, "Huh? Why do you say that?"

Xu Fuhai asked curiously. "Ma Zhendong is a man who can coax women, but his character is not good. Did you know that before he got divorced, he was messing around with other women outside? His ex-wife couldn't stand him and divorced him. Ma Zhendong likes to mess around with women, but he doesn't like to take responsibility. Of the women who followed him, I know of two who were married women. One of them divorced like your wife and went to find Ma Zhendong. Guess what Ma Zhendong would say?"

Lin Mixue asked. "What do you mean?"

After hearing what Lin Mixue said, Xu Fuhai asked with interest. "He scolded that woman for being childish, saying that they were all adults and were just having fun together to fill the emotional void."

Lin Mixue said with a smile. "Did he really say that? How could the woman give up? Wouldn't she make trouble with him?"

Xu Fuhai was amused when he heard Ma Zhendong say that, and asked. "Of course there was a fight, but Ma Zhendong is rich and has some influence in Fu City. The woman's family is just an ordinary family. After a few fights, Ma Zhendong asked someone to suppress it and gave her a sum of money. Poor woman, divorced, homeless, reputation ruined, even the children don't want to recognize her. The little money Ma Zhendong gave was not even enough for the down payment to buy a house. I heard that she is renting a house now, which is miserable."

Lin Mixue shook her head and said, "It's tragic, but it's her own fault."

Xu Fuhai snorted and said, "Who said it wasn't true? That's why I said that if your Zhou Na follows him, she will regret it sooner or later. Even though Ma Zhendong is divorced now, it's still a long shot for Zhou Na to be with him!"

Lin Mixue analyzed seriously. "What about our Zhou Na? He and I have nothing to do with each other now."

Xu Fuhai corrected him. "I know. Hey, actually, Old Xu, you are quite cruel."

Lin Mixue looked at Xu Fuhai, stroked his cheek gently with one hand and said, "How am I cruel? Zhou Na treated me like that, and I endured it for 16 years. When we divorced, I gave her everything I should and shouldn't have given her, and promised her everything I should and shouldn't have promised her. Am I cruel?"

Xu Fuhai raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "That's why I say you are cruel."

Lin Mixue sighed and said, "Why?"

Xu Fuhai suddenly stopped being angry when he heard her say that, and said with interest, "You agreed to so many excessive conditions because you wanted to break up with her completely, without leaving any room for maneuver or any way out. Old Xu, am I right?"

Lin Mixue gently stroked his brow, her slightly cool hands carrying a faint scent of Chanel, smelling very comfortable. Hearing her words, Xu Fuhai did not answer, but nodded silently. "That's why I said, Old Xu, you look honest and kind, but you are actually too cruel! You usually look easy to talk to, always giving in to Zhou Na and spoiling her, but when you really decide to break up, there is no possibility of negotiation or regret. Tell me, are you cruel? Are you absolutely heartless?"

Lin Mixue asked. Xu Fuhai was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "People who are affectionate are annoyed by the heartless. When people are affectionate, their affection becomes thinner. In the past, I always thought I was an affectionate person, but now it seems that heartless people are happier."

"People who are affectionate are annoyed by the heartless. When people are affectionate, their affection becomes thinner. These two lines of poetry are really well written. Old Xu, did you write them? You are so talented!"

Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, Lin Mixue said with admiration. "What talent! The first line was written by Su Shi, and the second line was written by Nalan Xingde. How can I, with my half-baked level, write such a good poem?"

Xu Fuhai slapped Lin Mixue's big butt in annoyance and said unhappily, "It's amazing that you can chant it. I don't know these two people."

Lin Mixue said with a smile, not caring about Xu Fuhai's evil hand at all, but enjoying it. "Let's not talk about the two of them. You just said that I was so cruel, and you still dare to get close to me?"

Xu Fuhai asked fiercely. "How dare you? I'm not Zhou Na. Even though you two have been married for so many years, she actually doesn't know you at all."

Lin Mixue said with a smile. "Oh? You sound like you know me very well. So, what kind of person am I? Oh, you just said that I am a heartless and cruel person."

Xu Fuhai snorted and said, "Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry, I haven't finished yet!"

Lin Mixue held Xu Fuhai's face with both hands and gently stroked it, coaxing him softly. Xu Fuhai deliberately frowned, looking very angry. Lin Mixue didn't care, and continued to analyze: "Old Xu, in fact, you are a person who is very opinionated and decisive in everything. You can't stand women pointing fingers and shouting at you. That kind of self-righteous woman will only make you upset and hate it, so I said that you and Zhou Na are not the same kind of people. She is the kind of person who has a strong desire for control and is super self-righteous. It's really not easy for you to be with her for sixteen years!"

"What can I do? For Ranran, I can't divorce her."

Xu Fuhai sighed, closed his eyes and said, "By the way, you said I can't stand women who boss me around, so what kind of woman are you?"

Xu Fuhai suddenly opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "As for me, of course I am the type of woman you like the most?"

Lin Mixue chuckled and said, "Oh? So confident? Then tell me, which type are you?"

Xu Fuhai asked with interest. "I am a little greedy, but I know how to be content and not greedy. I am also gentle, considerate and caring. Old Xu, do you like my style?"

Lin Mixue puffed out her chest after she finished speaking. "I like you, I like you very much! Big Mimi, I find that I like you more and more."

Xu Fuhai said with a chuckle, "That's right, and I have another advantage."

Lin Mixue said with a smile. "Any advantages? What advantages?"

Xu Fuhai asked with great interest. "You must like this advantage very much. I am not jealous, I just like to taste tea with you. Old Xu, if I come across good tea in the future, I will buy it for you, so that you can change your taste frequently and avoid getting tired of drinking the same tea every day."

Lin Mixue said with a sweet breath. "Haha, let me drink enough of this first!"

As Xu Fuhai was talking, his cell phone suddenly rang. "Hehe, stop joking. We have to catch a plane soon. Answer the phone quickly."

Lin Mixue gently pushed Xu Fuhai away and said, with a little pride on her face, obviously she was very satisfied with Xu Fuhai's reaction just now. "Hello? It's Xiaobai, you're here? Okay, then we'll go now."

Xu Fuhai hung up the phone and said to Lin Mixue, "The car sent by ICBC to pick us up at the airport has arrived. Let's get off."

"Yeah, fine. Old Xu, what did you call Bai Xiaojie just now? Xiaobai? Hehe, it sounds a bit like the name of a puppy."

Lin Mixue said with a smile. "Don't talk nonsense, he is a service specialist of the bank."

Xu Fuhai glared at her and said, "I know. Isn't it just a specialist who provides services for you alone? Old Xu, do you want to ask?"

"What the hell are you asking? You have a dirty mind, but I'm an honest employee!"

Xu Fuhai said unhappily, "Staff are staff, it's hard to say whether they are serious or not, hehe!"

"I think you are the most unserious!"

"That can't be helped, someone likes it!"

"Stop joking, you're going to miss your flight!"

"Yes, leader!"
