Fang Dahai didn’t care about any of that; he was overjoyed. The task was finally completed. He had introduced the person, and whether they bought anything was no longer his concern.
The meal was enjoyable for both host and guest, but Fang Dahai had a bit too much to drink. There was no choice but for Shen Chi to personally see him off.
Su Mingxian smiled as she sent the guest away, then looked at the note in her hand. A smile crept onto her face, and in a cheerful mood, she began humming a tune while clearing the dishes.
If she guessed correctly, this was likely the prestigious school that everyone in later generations fought to get into. Just thinking about her daughter being able to attend such a great school made her feel like she could fly with joy.
Just then, she suddenly heard a beeping sound.
“What’s that noise?”
“Mom, it’s this!” Qian Qian exclaimed as she picked something up from under the table.
Su Mingxian looked at the old relic on the table that was making all the noise, feeling a bit dazed. It had been years since she had seen one of these—was it a BP Machine? And a dual-line display in Chinese characters at that?
Curiously, she picked it up to take a closer look, but her expression immediately darkened.
“Brother Chi, see you at the old place tomorrow. Don’t be late.”
“Don’t be late? And at the old place?” Su Mingxian felt completely bewildered after reading that message.
The tone clearly indicated it was from a woman, and their relationship seemed quite close. Did Shen Chi have a girlfriend outside?
When did that happen? Why hadn’t she known about it in her previous life?
Or could it be that Shen Chi had been lying to her all along?
Su Mingxian found herself confused about the situation, and when Shen Chi returned, he found Su Mingxian sitting at the dining table in a daze.
"Still awake?"
Perhaps it was the alcohol that made Shen Chi's voice low and slightly hoarse.
Su Mingxian snapped back to reality and glanced at him expressionlessly. "Not yet."
After saying that, she pushed the BP Machine towards him. "You forgot this."
Shen Chi placed the item on the table and simply responded with an "oh."
He had noticed it was left behind when he left home earlier; otherwise, he wouldn't have returned, only to hear the sounds of laughter and joy.
However, when he casually pressed a button, the familiar phrase about not meeting at the old place jumped out, causing Shen Chi to frown immediately. He then put away the BP Machine without any intention of explaining.
Su Mingxian's expression darkened further.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "When do you have time? Let's get the divorce paperwork sorted out."
Shen Chi was momentarily taken aback. "Are you serious?"
Su Mingxian stood up abruptly, her demeanor shifting. "Do you think I'm joking?"
Wasn't she?
Shen Chi looked at her in disbelief. She had been cooking for him and even learning how to make dishes for his sake—
Wasn't it all to win his heart? Yet now she was bringing up divorce. Shen Chi's expression turned grim; after years apart, she had learned to play games. No wonder she could stir up such chaos back home. The thought filled him with regret. Although he despised manipulative women, this was Su Mingxian—
"I've been busy lately. Let's wait a few days."
“After a few days? Can you give me a definite answer?” Su Mingxian pressed with an expressionless face. Did this person really think she was playing hard to get? She genuinely wanted a divorce.
Shen Chi, unaware of her true feelings, raised an eyebrow at her aggressive demeanor and smirked slightly, his eyes glinting. “So anxious?”
Su Mingxian was momentarily taken aback and looked up to see Shen Chi Yi watching her with a half-smile. “When I came back, I ran into Aunt Zhao from next door, and also Aunt Wang and Sister Zhang…”
Su Mingxian's face flushed crimson at his words, heat rushing through her, leaving her frozen in place.
Shen Chi didn’t continue speaking but instead pushed a box toward her. “This is for you.”
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Su Mingxian started to explain, “I—”
Before she could finish, Shen Chi interrupted her with a calm tone. “Open it and take a look.”
Su Mingxian nearly choked on her words. “It’s not what you think! I—”
But Shen Chi just looked at her and tapped the box lightly. With no other option, Su Mingxian steeled herself and opened it, only to be stunned. “This is… a phone?”
It was a Motorola 9900x, one of the earliest mobile phones besides the cellphone craze. It had been all the rage back in the day—compact and convenient with impressive battery life. Most importantly, it wasn’t cheap; it cost at least seven or eight thousand yuan.
“Is this for me?” Su Mingxian asked in surprise, pointing at herself.
