Marry first and try love: After a flash marriage, the boss becomes wild and promiscuous

Chapter 1758 Human Joy

Er Gou's father looked at them with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Chen, Teacher Shen, you are good people. I am not able to afford it right now, so I can only treat you to a meal. Please don't mind."

He felt ashamed; Mr. Chen had helped him so much, yet he had no way to repay him.

I couldn't even scrape together two hundred yuan from my pocket, so there was no way I could repay them.

Chen Chuan said gently to him, "It's nothing. Once your stall makes money, you can treat us to a good meal."

Er Gou's dad was moved to tears; he's such a good person.

That's true. Are people who can donate so much money in one go just ordinary kind-hearted people?

After he thanked him repeatedly, he finally left. Shen Xi sighed, "The rich feast on meat and wine while the poor freeze to death on the streets. Some people easily make millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, while others struggle to make ends meet for their families."

The strong man, in the prime of his life, was so exhausted that he had hardly any flesh on his body, which made Shen Xi feel very sad.

Chen Chuan gave her a strange look and silently walked away.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

She followed after him, puzzled.

Is it okay for you to insult yourself like that?

"I didn't scold myself. I earn my salary by working hard every month. What kind of rich family am I?"

"Oh, did you forget about the rent?"

Shen Xi immediately shut her mouth.

Although housing prices have plummeted, rents in Zigui remain stubbornly high.

There's no way around it; the school district is too good, and people are scrambling to get in. Whether you're selling or buying, it's in high demand.

Okay, Zhu Menxi quieted down.

The couple stood at the edge of the night market, watching the endless stream of pedestrians and the plumes of white smoke rising from the food stalls. The bustling crowds and lively chatter created a vibrant and beautiful scene, a testament to the everyday life of ordinary people striving to make a living and take care of themselves.

Whether in a grand mansion or on the street, people are living well, striving for an unknown yet hopeful future.

Shen Xi leaned on Chen Chuan's shoulder, watching the world go by side with him.

"Chen Chuan."

"Ok?"

"I suddenly have a bit of a craving for treasure."

"Hmm, who said they wanted to leave her behind and enjoy the day?"

She smiled but didn't say anything.

"Then..." He looked down at her, "Do you want to go back?"

The couple looked at each other for a long time, then said in unison, "No!"

Thinking about it is one thing, but one should also enjoy the peace and freedom that comes with it.

She sighed contentedly, leaned against him, and slowly sipped her milk tea.

"Chen Chuan."

"Ah."

"With such a clear and insightful understanding of life, wouldn't you be prone to unhappiness?"

"It's alright. I never have any expectations of others, so I'm not disappointed."

"Isn't having no expectations itself a form of negativity?"

"People should not look at others, but at themselves."

Focus less on others and more on yourself, and you'll have more than half the troubles in life.

So many people are unhappy because they care too much about what others think: family, lovers, bosses, colleagues, classmates, neighbors, and even strangers.

Chinese people always care too much about their reputation, so reputation becomes a series of ropes that eventually bind them.

In fact, other people's opinions are worthless.

He turned his head and smiled at her: "Actually, it's easier to be happy when you see things clearly and become clear-headed."

When you treat everyone else like dirt and live freely and unrestrainedly, that's what life is really like—unfettered and carefree.

Shen Xi thought about it and agreed.

But how many people can actually do it? Chinese people are generally more reserved and don't express their emotions openly. Even in this day and age, if young couples are too affectionate in public, they will still be pointed at and gossiped about.

There's no way around it, I'm just used to being conservative.

Also, I've gotten used to caring about what others think of me.

How many people can be as arrogant and dismissive of everyone as Chen Chuan?

Chen Chuan reached out and put his arm around her: "But before, I really felt that life was meaningless."

Everything was readily available to him; there were no surprises, no unexpected events. He had wealth, fame, connections, status—everything that others strive for their entire lives.

I don't know what I should pursue, so I feel bored.

"Fortunately, I met you, and you brought me treasure."

After having a wife, life is full of unexpected events. After having children, surprises often turn into shocks. You never know what kind of trouble a naughty child can cause you.

But, this feeling isn't bad.

Attorney Chen, who has always hated trouble, actually quite likes these two troublemakers, one big and one small.

Shen Xi pouted unhappily, "Who are you calling a troublemaker? Your daughter is, not me."

Does she want to see how much her pouting looks like treasure?

It was rare to see her being so coquettish, so Chen Chuan's smile softened even more: "Yes, I love your troubles, the more trouble the better. Only I can solve them, and you can only rely on me. Isn't that a wonderful feeling?"

Pah! Narcissist.

But Shen Xi was coaxed and obediently leaned on his shoulder again.

These are wonderful days.

"what time is it?"

"seven thirty."

"Your little trouble hasn't called you yet."

"That proves she desperately wants to see me right now."

Shen Xi chuckled to herself: "Tell me, did you do this on purpose?"

"No."

Hmph, she doesn't believe it.

The small yet intense sense of stolen pleasure that Caibao experiences in her life is all due to her father's deliberate indulgence.

Chen Chuan turned a blind eye, but the child felt it was all his own doing and was extremely satisfied.

The father and daughter play this kind of game all day long. It is obviously childish, but they enjoy it very much. Can this be considered another form of spoiling their child?

This man is such a doting father, it goes on and on. He can find something to spoil in the smallest things.

No wonder Caibao loves her dad so much.

He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head: "I spoil you even more, don't you know that?"

"Where is it?"

After Mingming met Caibao, she became his darling, and he showered his daughter with money and love like crazy.

Only treasure can be easily taken from him.

Listen to this, it's all treasure!

But what about her? Getting any money from him is incredibly difficult. See, that's discrimination.

Oh man.

He reached out and took her cup of milk tea, shaking it: "See, it's exactly what you like."

"Three parts sugar, coconut jelly, and large tapioca pearls."

"Wow! Mr. Chen, I love you." Shen Xi turned the bottle over and took another puff.

"tasty?"

"Uh-huh."

"Try it for me."

Let's give it a try.

Chen Chuan took a sip through her straw. Actually, he didn't like drinking beverages. His cup was always filled with goji berry and red date tea, various freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, or plain water.

But he actually thought the milk tea in his wife's hand tasted pretty good, maybe because of the straw?

Shen Xi was staring at him with a pained expression.
