After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 43

Li Zhen got into a taxi, afraid that Lu Yanming would say he had to wait until tomorrow again, she sent him a message, "President Lu, are you going out this weekend? If you go out, remember to come back early."

She added a cute emoji of Daji.

Lu Yanming: "Not today."

Li Zhen's eyebrows drooped: "But you were just in the kitchen..."

Lu Yanming: "Daji is too flirty, I couldn't resist."

Li Zhen's ears turned slightly red.

Never mind, since he couldn't resist just now, he won't be able to resist tonight either!

At home, Zhou Chaowen watched Dong Wanwan putting on makeup and complained: "What big event are you attending today that you've been putting on makeup for two hours?"

"Nothing much, just a college roommate reunion."

"Xu Shan and Yi Renran?"

Dong Wanwan often met up with those two, and Zhou Chaowen had remembered their names.

Dong Wanwan: "There's also Li Zhen today."

"Li Zhen?" Zhou Chaowen's lazy body sat up straight, unnaturally scratching his nose, "Why is she coming today?"

"We planned to get together, she was free so she came." Dong Wanwan said, glancing back at Zhou Chaowen, her voice coquettish, "Dear, where do you think the money Yu Sheng flashed last night came from?"

"It's none of your business, why ask so much?"

"I'm just curious..." Dong Wanwan clung to his arm acting spoiled.

Zhou Chaowen was pestered without a way out, he could only say: "Yu Sheng is the marketing director at Macro Ocean, his income is not low."

"How high could it be? 1 million or 2 million a year? He would have to not eat or drink for a whole year to be able to save 2 million. I really can't figure out how Yu Sheng agreed to pay the money so readily yesterday."

Zhou Chaowen glanced at her, "How could we guess what's going on with Yu Sheng?"

"Dear, do you think Yu Sheng might have embezzled public funds yesterday?"

"Nonsense! How could that be possible!"

"Why not? Haven't there been plenty of such news reports?" Dong Wanwan had finished her makeup and applied a thick layer of lipstick as the final touch.

Strangely, yesterday many reporters had interviewed Li Zhen and Yu Sheng, but today there was not a single report about them on any news outlet.

Spending 2 million at a charity auction to buy a little brooch.

Usually, this kind of local news would have exploded.

Dong Wanwan had already deleted the social media post she made yesterday when Yu Sheng spent 2 million to buy the brooch. Calling Li Zhen over today was to probe her bottom.

Dong Wanwan tidied up and arrived at the agreed location half an hour early. A taxi pulled up in front and Li Zhen got out.

Dong Wanwan hurried up and intimately looped her arm around hers, "You finally made it. We've always wanted to get together with you before but couldn't get in touch."

Li Zhen gave a little pout and just smiled faintly at her. Dong Wanwan was like a wily fox paying New Year's respects to a chicken, she definitely didn't have good intentions.

Li Zhen followed Dong Wanwan inside, through the lobby to a small outdoor terrace. The terrace had just a few exquisite little European-style tables, and next to the tables were two people familiar to Li Zhen.

Her other two college roommates, Xu Shan and Yi Renran.

Hearing the sound, they both looked over at the same time.

Dong Wanwan had Li Zhen sit down, "The four of us sisters have finally gotten together today."

Xu Shan and Yi Renran exchanged glances, still not really understanding why Dong Wanwan had brought Li Zhen. Wasn't Dong Wanwan the one who disliked Li Zhen the most?

Among the three, Dong Wanwan had married the best and was doing the best, now a minor celebrity. Since it was Dong Wanwan who brought Li Zhen, the other two naturally had to pretend to be polite and give her some face.

But the pretense was very half-hearted.

Xu Shan smiled, "Li Zhen, long time no see. What have you been busy with lately?"

Li Zhen had no interest in idle chitchat with them. She went straight to the point, "Didn't you say we were going to discuss preparing for pregnancy today? Let's start."

Saying that, she took out a pen and notebook from her bag.

The other three were stunned.

Dong Wanwan's expression was barely holding. Li Zhen actually thought this was for real learning?

The corner of Dong Wanwan's mouth twitched as she forced herself to stay calm, "Yes, yes, I happen to be preparing for pregnancy recently, and so is Xu Shan. We're getting together to have a good discussion."

Yi Renran couldn't help but roll her eyes. The three of them were just chatting about luxury goods and accessories before Li Zhen arrived. Now that Li Zhen was here, they were discussing preparing for pregnancy?

Li Zhen opened her pen and held it ready in her hand, looking up at Dong Wanwan. She asked solemnly, "Okay, let's start the discussion then. Dong Wanwan, you go first."

Just like a teacher in class before.

Dong Wanwan gritted her teeth behind a forced smile, "Okay, I'll kick things off..."

The words had just left her mouth when Dong Wanwan froze in shock. Why was she actually taking this seriously like a class, even blurting out an idiom?

She coughed twice, "Sisters, my mother-in-law is frantically pushing me to have a baby, I can't take the pressure anymore."

Li Zhen's note-taking hand paused, "Are you scolding Chaowen, or referring to his mother?"

Dong Wanwan: "......"

Dong Wanwan: "My mother-in-law!"

Li Zhen: "Okay, please continue."

Xu Shan stared wide-eyed, "Wanwan, you just won some awards, having a baby now would be too detrimental to your career."

"Exactly." Yi Renran chimed in with a nod.

"What can I do? My mother-in-law wants us to have a baby, I can't refuse." Bringing up this matter really gave Dong Wanwan a headache, "And the key isn't me, it's Chaowen. He doesn't want to himself, he always takes measures every time, even if I want to I can't because I don't reproduce asexually. I need him."

This trip wasn't a waste!

Although not exactly the same, the situation was identical.

Li Zhen asked anxiously, "So what should be done?"

Dong Wanwan looked speechlessly at Li Zhen's thirst for knowledge. "Does Yu Sheng do the same?"

Li Zhen rubbed her nose and mumbled, "Mm."

"That's simple." Xu Shan smiled smugly, acting like someone experienced, "Give them something to boost their mood, when they're in the mood during the critical moment, how could they remember anything else?"

Slipping drugs?

The image of Lu Yanming dragging her to the police station door instantly came to Li Zhen's mind.

If she dared drug him, she estimated the rest of her life would be spent singing 'Tears on the Iron Bars' in prison.

"No, no." Dong Wanwan shook her head, "If my mother-in-law found out, I don't know what kind of scene she would make."

Dong Wanwan didn't dare take that risk.

Marrying into the Zhou family wasn't easy, ever since marrying Zhou Chaowen she had developed a conditioned fear of her mother-in-law.

And Zhou Chaowen was especially filial, listening to his mother very much.

"You're right, that method won't work. Let's think of another." Li Zhen was extremely proactive, eyes bright, full of expectation.

Yi Renran was surprised that the previously aloof Li Zhen would now shamelessly ask them for advice.

And on this kind of matter?

Yi Renran cleared her throat, "For this, you should be asking me."
