He looked serious and said, "No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to mention 'breaking up.'"
"Doesn't that just mean 'divorce' instead?"
Zhou Chenyu pressed his lips together, looking at me with a dumbfounded expression.
I had just said it casually; who would bring up divorce for no reason?
"I won't say it," I insisted.
"I don't believe you."
"Then what do you suggest?"
Zhou Chenyu thought for a moment and said, "As a punishment, every time you say it, I'll give you a smack on the backside."
"That's domestic violence!"
Zhou Chenyu suddenly laughed.
"Come here," he beckoned me.
I couldn't shake the feeling that he had ulterior motives.
"What do you want?"
"Come here."
I slowly moved closer.
He leaned in and whispered in my ear...
"Zhou Chenyu, you've turned bad over these two years!"
My marriage to Zhou Chenyu happened quickly.
Since we wore masks, we didn't have a grand ceremony; we just registered our marriage and treated our friends and family to a meal.
Life after marriage didn't change much; I just had someone more involved in my life.
My mother said I was inherently disorganized and needed someone like Zhou Chenyu to keep me in check.
Like attracts like.
My mother-in-law mentioned that Zhou Chenyu was initially adamant about not going on blind dates, but as soon as he saw me, he immediately agreed.
After two years apart, he reconciled with me and we got married right away.
It was fate that brought us together.
I felt that if Zhou Chenyu could manage me, then I could manage him too.
Yin Cheng and Li Xiang also got married; if they didn't, Yin Cheng's pregnancy would soon be obvious.
Zhou Chenyu and I had agreed to wait before having children, and he said he would go along with my wishes.
After six months of peaceful days, my supervisor suddenly called me into the office.
"Take a look for yourself."
I took the tablet and was taken aback. "Aren't all these designs mine?"
"What do you plan to do?" my supervisor asked.
Without hesitation, I replied, "Of course, I'm going to sue."
My supervisor slapped his forehead. "Right, your husband is a lawyer, isn't he?"
"Yes."
"Perfect! Our company's partnership with Xin Xin Law Firm is about to expire, and we don't plan to renew it. We shouldn't let good opportunities slip away; go recommend your husband to the Boss."
"Supervisor, you're such a great person!"
I was so moved that I almost cried and blurted out my true feelings: "I promise I won't call you 'old bald donkey' behind your back anymore."
We stared at each other for a while before my supervisor finally spoke up. "Same here; I often call you 'little brat'."
Feeling embarrassed, I rubbed my nose and said, "Well then, Supervisor, I'm off to see the Boss."
"Okay."
My supervisor added, "I won't get involved in the infringement issue; discuss it with your husband. These things happen often—usually just an apology and a fine. As a lawyer's spouse, you should know that."
"I understand, Supervisor. I'll head out now."
I found the Boss, and as soon as I mentioned Zhou Chenyu's situation, the Boss immediately agreed to meet with him.
I played matchmaker, and the two hit it off quite well, quickly reaching an agreement. Zhou Chenyu even praised me.
"My wife has grown up, become sensible, and can help her husband with business now."
Listen to that, he’s complimenting me!
"Stop with the flattery and get to the point," I said.
I informed Zhou Chenyu about the infringement issue.
"I'll take this case, but how will the fees be calculated?" Zhou Chenyu asked, his eyes burning with intensity.
I understood what he meant. I pulled down my spaghetti strap nightgown slightly and said, "Is this good enough?"
Tch, that man is impossible to resist!
The next day, I confronted the guy who had plagiarized my work. He still tried to argue his way out of it.
Hmph.
I turned around and called for Zhou Chenyu.
He approached and extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Zhou Chenyu, Cheng Yue's husband."
No!
I tugged at his sleeve.
Zhou Chenyu quickly corrected himself: "I am Cheng Yue's representative lawyer."
That's more like it.
