In Chen Yinuo's opinion,
selling flowers, this kind of 'shameful' thing, was absolutely not something Ye Chen would do.
And earning two to three thousand yuan in just a few hours?
That was the nature of bragging without even bothering to draft it!
In an instant, her disgust towards Ye Chen escalated exponentially!
Even though she was already disgusted enough!
Now she was worried that her daughter, Ye Youyou, would be influenced by his bragging!
"No, I want to be with Papa!"
The little girl shouted stubbornly.
"Youyou, be good, go to Mom first! Papa will buy Youyou McDonald's tomorrow morning!"
Ye Chen put Ye Youyou down.
Ye Youyou, who didn't want to leave, heard about fries and burgers, and her eyes immediately lit up, "Really?"
"Really! Papa won't lie to Youyou!"
"Then Papa and Youyou pinky swear!"
"Okay, pinky swear!"
Only then did Ye Youyou return to Chen Yinuo's side contentedly.
"Come, go back to sleep with Mom!"
Pulling Ye Youyou along, Chen Yinuo didn't even want to look at Ye Chen.
"Yinuo, do you not trust me that much?"
Before Chen Yinuo could move, Ye Chen spoke with a struggling expression.
Her steps paused, and Chen Yinuo sneered mockingly, "If you said you gambled and won two to three thousand, I might believe it. But saying you sold flowers and earned two to three thousand, that's a fairy tale. I've been with you since I was twenty, and now I'm twenty-eight. Do you think I, Chen Yinuo, don't know what kind of person you, Ye Chen, are? You can condescend to sell flowers? This is a joke of the century! Also, earning two to three thousand from selling flowers in one night, what kind of flowers were you selling?"
It wasn't surprising that Chen Yinuo had such thoughts, because in the past years, the words 'down-to-earth' had never been associated with Ye Chen in the slightest!
Just like that failed startup, if he hadn't been so ambitious and wanted to achieve success overnight, it wouldn't have failed so completely!
"I..." Ye Chen opened his mouth.
But before he could finish speaking,
Chen Yinuo interrupted impatiently, "No need to explain. I'm not the same foolish woman who was tricked by you again and again. Don't think that just because you cleaned up once, you're no longer the same person. It's easier to change rivers and mountains than one's nature. These words apply to you more fittingly than anyone else!"
"I know I was a jerk before, I know I let you down, but you just..."
Chen Yinuo still didn't want to hear him say more.
"Enough! I believe you, I believe you earned two to three thousand selling flowers, okay? But what does that matter? With a one-week deadline, how are you going to repay two hundred seventy thousand? Forget two or three thousand, even if you earned twenty or thirty thousand a day, it wouldn't be enough to repay that usurious loan in a week! Ye Chen, if you have any conscience left, if you're still a human, sign the divorce agreement and then run away, hide at the ends of the earth. That way, not only will you have a way to live, but Youyou and I can also live in peace!"
Taking out the divorce agreement from her bag again, Chen Yinuo slapped it onto the table.
She didn't give Ye Chen any more chance to speak.
She pulled Ye Youyou and quickly walked into the room.
With a bang, she closed and locked the door!
Standing still,
Ye Chen didn't move for a long time.
After a long while, he let out a bitter, dejected smile.
Thinking back on his actions over the past few years,
he had no complaints about Chen Yinuo's current hatred and disgust!
On the contrary, he understood it extremely well!
If he were Chen Yinuo, he probably would have swung a knife and ended both their lives...
Click-!
He lit a cheap cigarette.
Sitting on the tattered sofa,
Ye Chen pushed aside the complex emotions in his mind.
After all, regaining Chen Yinuo's acceptance and approval wasn't something that could happen overnight.
What was pressing was how to earn two hundred seventy thousand in a week to repay that usurious loan!
If he remembered correctly, tomorrow in his previous life,
there was a concert at the Sports Center!
Several fanatical fans missed their tickets.
In the end, to see their idol's concert, they didn't hesitate to buy concert tickets worth five hundred sixty yuan from others for ten thousand yuan each!
Even more ironically, those students who sold the tickets had bought them from scalpers for five hundred yuan!
Because the concert had already started, and the scalpers, who initially wanted to sell at a higher price, had to sell at a loss to avoid being stuck with the tickets!
They appeared within ten minutes of those fanatical fans!
This incident later exploded online and even trended on hot searches!
In his previous life, when Ye Chen saw this hot search, he even left a comment cursing those fanatical fans as being brainless!
...
The next day.
Ye Chen got up early.
First, he went out and bought Ye Youyou a McDonald's children's breakfast.
Then, he also went to the market to buy back eggs, rice noodle rolls, lean meat, pig liver, green onions, and a certain brand of packaged non-fried noodles that Chen Yinuo loved the most!
This was Chen Yinuo's favorite breakfast noodle, but due to rushing to work, no matter how much she craved it, she didn't have time to go to the market early to buy these ingredients to cook.
To let the mother and daughter sleep longer, every move Ye Chen made was cautious, fearing he would wake them up!
After a series of washing, cutting, stir-frying, and boiling,
it took a full half hour for the hot breakfast noodles to be ready.
He checked the time, knowing it was almost time for the mother and daughter to wake up, Ye Chen didn't stay in the house any longer, fearing he would upset Chen Yinuo, and even more afraid that Chen Yinuo wouldn't want to eat the noodles he cooked!
Just as Ye Chen left,
Chen Yinuo and Ye Youyou also woke up.
"Wow! Mom, it's McDonald's, it's the McDonald's Papa bought for me!"
As soon as she came out of the room and saw the McDonald's children's breakfast on the dining table, Ye Youyou shouted happily.
"Papa!"
"Papa!"
After calling out a few times without getting a response from Ye Chen,
the little girl ran into her father's room.
Seeing that her father was not in the neatly tidied space,
she ran out and said, "Mom, where's Papa? Where did Papa go!"
However, Chen Yinuo didn't answer.
Looking at the bowl of steaming hot breakfast noodles on the dining table, emitting a very familiar aroma,
her delicate brows couldn't help but furrow!
That was the breakfast noodle whose taste hadn't changed for her for so many years!
However, if she remembered correctly, the last time she ate it was a year ago. It wasn't because it was luxurious, but because she didn't have the time or effort to make it!
And tracing back to when Ye Chen cooked breakfast noodles for her, she had to count back several years...
Moreover, he had only cooked it for her once...
