Divorced with Child, Selling Street Food, President's Ex-Wife Chases Him - Part 35

"She's asleep. Her parents took her to the amusement park today, and she got all sweaty. She was exhausted and fell asleep not long after they got back."

"I appreciate your parents' effort."

After the divorce, the child stayed with her mother on weekends. However, her mother was always working, so her maternal grandparents were the ones who accompanied her.

Shen Muyan always felt guilty about her role as a mother.

She admitted this to herself.

Every time she wanted to make up for it, she never had the chance.

Lu Qin, on the other hand, never once blamed her or expressed any dissatisfaction.

He.

Was truly a good man.

Shen Muyan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"The Ice Crystal Cake that the little one brought today, did you make it yourself?"

"Mm, do you think it's good? Do your parents like it?"

"Uh..."

Shen Muyan hadn't eaten any. She thought it was bought from a shop by the roadside, so she hadn't even looked at it.

"It's delicious. My parents liked it too. Your cooking skills are excellent."

"Um, the little one is greedy and wants more. Can you make five or six more boxes tomorrow? I'll send someone to pick them up."

Lu Qin refused.

"We can't always indulge the little one. She just loves sweets. Whether it's five boxes or six, she'll stuff them all in."

"When I bring her back tomorrow, I'll let her have her fill."

Shen Hongda and his wife doted on Lu Xiyao to the extreme. If the little one threw even a small tantrum, she could have whatever she wanted.

"The little one definitely ate ice cream at the amusement park yesterday. Please ask your parents to remind her that she can't have ice cream tomorrow."

Current ice cream technology is advanced, and they are very sweet. Children should eat them as little as possible.

"Okay."

Shen Muyan didn't know what to say.

She was completely clueless when it came to parenting.

But what about the Ice Crystal Cake?

Did she have to say it like that...

An idea popped into Shen Muyan's mind, and a blush immediately spread across her exquisitely beautiful face.

Lu Qin: "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. Get some sleep."

"Wait, wait a moment."

"Is there something else?"

"Actually... that Ice Crystal Cake... I wanted to eat it. Could I trouble you..."

By the last few words, Shen Muyan's voice had become as faint as a mosquito's hum.

It was too embarrassing.

Shen Muyan could never have imagined that such words would come out of her own mouth.

"Sure, I'll bring it over tomorrow at 9 AM."

Lu Qin agreed readily.

"Thank you."

Shen Muyan's expression gradually returned to normal.

"How many boxes do you want?"

"Hmm... six boxes."

"25 yuan per box, 150 for six boxes. Just send me your WeChat."

Huh?

He wanted money?

Shen Muyan was stunned for a moment, holding her phone with a complex expression.

Lu Qin said:

"Don't misunderstand. It's not that I'm stingy. We're divorced now. Giving you things for free again would cause misunderstandings."

"If it's a business transaction, it's proper."

Shen Muyan was speechless.

The number of men who wanted to give her things for free was more than she could count on both hands and feet.

He wouldn't even part with a few boxes of food.

This man!

"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you. You can deliver the items to the hotel tomorrow. Do you need a delivery fee?"

Since Lu Qin said that, Shen Muyan decided not to send a driver to pick them up. Did he think gas was free?

"No need. I'll be passing by the hotel tomorrow after I finish my morning stall. I'll leave them with the front desk."

"Alright."

Shen Muyan felt inexplicably unhappy and wanted to transfer the money immediately.

Then she thought better of it. She hadn't received the goods yet, so why should she pay upfront?

She'd pay tomorrow.

... Our Mr. Rossi has a very discerning palate!

During the call, Lu Qin brought up "setting up a stall" himself.

Shen Muyan then pretended to ask:

"Morning stall?"

Lu Qin explained, "My current job is selling snacks at a street stall, like Ice Crystal Cake."

"Why don't you work for a company? You graduated from Qingbei, and your major was excellent. You wouldn't have trouble finding a job."

"My major isn't my passion. Selling at a stall is quite good; I have freedom with my time, and it's convenient for taking care of the little one."

"As long as you're happy."

Shen Muyan felt a little annoyed listening to Lu Qin speak so casually, as if selling at a stall was a proper job.

Even if you like selling at a stall, even if that's your passion, you still have to consider reality.

Income from a street stall is unstable. You're divorced, with no house or car. What will you use to raise your daughter?

Shen Muyan couldn't understand Lu Qin at all. She thought he lacked ambition.

However, they were divorced now, so she couldn't say anything more.

This was for the best. If he couldn't afford to raise the little one later, she could always take back custody.

"That's settled then. Don't forget to deliver the items tomorrow. I'm hanging up."

Shen Muyan hung up the phone glumly.

Lu Qin lay on the bed after taking a shower, placing his phone on the bedside table to charge.

He closed his eyes and opened the System.

With the extra points, he could draw 14 times.
