Divorced, Raising a Child and Running a Stall, the CEO's ex-wife Chases Him Back. Author: Huangquan Jiaozhu
After Lu Qin's divorce, he obtained the Gourmet Stall System and gained unparalleled culinary skills.
He took his daughter through streets and alleys to run a stall. While steadily making money, the food he cooked made countless people cry with craving and won the adoration of the masses.
Passerby: Other people charge money for fried noodles. Boss Lu's fried noodles cost lives.
Foodie: A thousand-person group has already been made. We precisely track where Boss Lu sets up his stall every day.
Chef: I can't replicate Master Lu's dishes. They're simply too perfect.
An old man called the police, claiming the snack stall downstairs was too delicious and suspecting it had added something addictive. There had been similar cases before, so the police immediately investigated, only to discover...
Shen Muyan's hotel restaurants kept receiving complaints. With no other choice, she could only seek help from her "ex-husband."
Best friend: "Your husband is way too hard to book. How long do I have to wait for my exclusive interview for the food program?"
Shen Muyan: "He still hasn't agreed to remarry me..."
A variety show about chefs from Stick Nation coming to Dragon Country in search of delicious food spent an entire season filming Lu Qin's snack stall.
Divorced and left with nothing, he obtained the Gourmet Stall System.
Parallel world, Jiangcheng, Annan District Civil Affairs Bureau.
As the steel stamp came down swiftly, Lu Qin and Shen Muyan were divorced.
The two of them put away their divorce certificates and rose from their seats.
In an instant, this newly divorced couple with extraordinary looks drew the attention of everyone else in the hall.
Many people whispered among themselves, barely concealing their regret. "Such a talented, beautiful couple got divorced? What a shame!"
"The man is so handsome, clean-cut and pleasant to look at. The woman has an outstanding temperament and a beautiful face, like a celebrity. They look so well-matched. How could they just get divorced like that..."
Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Shen Muyan put on her sunglasses, concealing her breathtakingly beautiful face. She was tall and slender, with picturesque brows, delicate features, and long, straight hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
She glanced at Lu Qin and spoke in a cool voice.
"You should seriously reconsider refusing the property."
"Yao Yao's kindergarten tuition isn't cheap."
Raising a child was never easy. Children were practically money-eating beasts, and now that he was divorced, Lu Qin had no support to rely on. He had no job and no income.
"There's no need." Lu Qin shook his head, his tone calm and his gaze firm.
Since Lu Qin had said so, Shen Muyan did not say anything else. She turned and got into the Maserati parked by the roadside, speeding away.
She had always been decisive and uncompromising.
They were both adults. Once they had made a decision, they had to take responsibility for their words and actions.
Shen Muyan was quite surprised that Lu Qin did not want a single cent of the property. After all, he could have received a substantial sum. An ordinary person would never have been unmoved.
The little girl was stubborn and insisted on following Lu Qin. Shen Muyan could understand that children were attached to their fathers, especially since she had rarely spent time with her daughter since she was born.
She was not worried about the child following Lu Qin. Once she left behind her pampered life, Shen Muyan believed that within half a month, the little girl would come crying back to her.
It was better that Lu Qin did not want any property. Once life became difficult for him, custody of the child would naturally return to her without her having to lift a finger.
Lu Qin hailed a taxi and headed for Starlight Kindergarten.
Having left with nothing, he only had thirty-five thousand yuan in savings. After divorcing Shen Muyan, he still needed to find a place to rent.
They had once lived in Shen Muyan's villa, where conditions were excellent and the father and daughter never lacked food or clothing. He did not know whether the little girl could adapt to moving out and living with him.
That was Lu Qin's only concern.
He had no real feelings for Shen Muyan. The two had gotten drunk at a reception and made a mistake. After just one time, they had a child.
They hastily got married because of the pregnancy and never held a wedding.
Shen Muyan was a workaholic who managed several five-star hotel chains. Though she was worth tens of millions, she showed pitifully little concern for Lu Qin and Lu Xiyao.
In order to spend more time with the little girl, Lu Qin had made a sacrifice. He resigned from his high-paying job at a publicly listed tech company and became a househusband.
Several years passed in the blink of an eye, yet Shen Muyan remained busy with work. Sometimes she went on business trips for half a month without being seen.
Every day, Lu Qin stayed with his daughter, Lu Xiyao, and kept the household in perfect order.
Lu Qin and Shen Muyan had no conflicts and had never argued, but their relationship was as thin as paper. They had never had the chance to truly spend time together, so when they reached the point of divorce, it felt as though they had both expected it.
They parted peacefully, without resentment.
Outside Starlight Kindergarten.
Lu Qin wore a simple white shirt and jeans. His tall, straight figure and handsome face made the mothers picking up their children glance at him again and again.
"Papa!"
The moment a little girl was led out of the kindergarten by her teacher and spotted Lu Qin, she excitedly ran over and turned into a leg accessory.
Lu Xiyao wore a pink princess dress. Bright-eyed, white-toothed, lively, and adorable, she had perfectly inherited the excellent genes of Lu Qin and Shen Muyan.
The little girl rubbed her chubby pink cheeks hard against Lu Qin's thigh, calling out "papa" in a soft, sticky voice that could melt anything in the world.
Lu Qin's eyes were full of affection as he stroked Lu Xiyao's little head.
"Teacher Li, I'm taking Yao Yao home."
Lu Qin showed Teacher Li the pickup card, then reached out and lifted Lu Xiyao into his arms.
"Goodbye, Teacher Li!"
"Goodbye, Yao Yao!"
The little girl politely waved goodbye to her teacher.
Most of the kindergarten teachers knew Yao Yao's Dad. Lu Qin was warm and gentle, and he was also so handsome. On top of that, Lu Xiyao was such an adorable child that she was impossible to forget.
It was just that every time he came to pick up the child, they only ever saw Dad and had never seen Lu Xiyao's mother.
As a result, quite a few single female teachers and single mothers picking up their children assumed Lu Qin was single and occasionally took the initiative to approach him.
The little girl had also received plenty of milk, lollipops, and other snacks.
Hand in hand, father and daughter strolled leisurely along the mottled, tree-shaded road.
"Yao Yao, were you good at kindergarten today?"
"Super good."
Lu Qin raised his brows slightly and said with a smile, "Then keep it up."
Lu Xiyao blinked her grape-like eyes. "Papa, since Yao Yao was so good, can I get an ice cream as a reward?"
"I can reward you with a flick on the forehead."
"Waaah, then forget it." Lu Xiyao was sad for one second, then took Lu Qin's large hand and skipped along.
As long as she was with Lu Qin, Lu Xiyao was always happy.
Of course, it would be even better if she could have ice cream.
Quite a few grandparents were picking up their grandchildren from school along the way. Because they doted on the children, they immediately bought ice cream whenever the children asked for it.
Lu Qin soon heard the sound of someone swallowing beside him.
After thinking about it, Lu Qin remembered that it had been three days since the little girl last had ice cream. She could have some today.
Upon hearing the good news, the little girl's childish face bloomed like a flower.
"Papa, I want strawberry Choco Cone."
As she ate the ice cream she had been longing for, even her eyebrows were happy.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qin finally asked.
"Yao Yao, Dad and Mom are going to separate. Do you know what separating means? It means..."
"Dad, do you mean divorce?" After finishing her ice cream, Lu Xiyao took the tissue Lu Qin handed her and wiped her little mouth.
"You know about divorce?" Lu Qin glanced at Lu Xiyao.
"Of course." Lu Xiyao did not look surprised at all. Her plump little face appeared relaxed. "I saw it on TV. Divorce means Dad and Mom live separately, don't sleep in the same bed, and don't live together."
Lu Qin gave a bitter smile. Kids these days seemed to understand everything. Thinking back on it, he and Shen Muyan had slept in separate rooms ever since they got married.
For one thing, they had never had much affection for each other.
For another, Shen Muyan was extremely busy with work. As the CEO, she managed everything large and small across several hotels and often came home very late.
"Do you have anything to say about this, Yao Yao?"
"It doesn't matter. I barely saw Mom anyway. She never attended any kindergarten activities and only celebrated my birthday with me once."
Lu Xiyao looked dejected for a second, then quickly cheered up. "Having Dad is enough for me. From now on, Yao Yao will stay with Dad."
Lu Qin's heart warmed.
"If you live with Dad, we might not be able to live in a big villa anymore, and there won't be a huge TV for watching cartoons."
