You Can Do Without Me, But You Can't Leave Me

"The second thing is to find Xiaomei."

Liu Zheng looked at the cleaner.

"Ah?"

The cleaner, who had been secretly peeking at him, was caught red-handed. Embarrassed, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed crimson.

"No, why are you, a widow, acting like such an innocent young girl every day?"

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

"I'll do whatever you ask me to do. But you can't find someone else."

Her voice brimmed with grievance.

"I never said I wasn't asking you. What are you feeling wronged
