Chapter 87

87. Penniless

“Um…”

Her face immediately turned red, and it was a true red.

Wen Han was momentarily speechless and didn’t know how to respond.

In the past, due to financial constraints, she always washed with Little Yuan after washing herself.

Now that they had moved to a new home, naturally they needed to buy a bathtub, so they should enjoy it properly, right? Therefore, the mother and daughter were bathing together for the first time.

She had thought that since both were girls, Little Yuan would understand… but why was it like this?

This fluffy thing… how should she explain it?

She froze in place, speechless and embarrassed.

“Mom?” Little Yuan continued to ask more puzzled, “Why don’t I have any? And you have so much~”

The little girl touched her as she spoke.

Wen Han instantly trembled, suddenly picking up Little Yuan: “Don’t touch! That’s Mommy’s sen… sen… sen…”

“What?”

“Nothing!”

“Oh…” Little Yuan was confused, “So what was that just now?”

“This… this… You’ll understand when you grow up!”

“Why do you understand when you grow up?”

“Why do children ask so many questions?!” Her face was already red to the point of almost dripping blood; Wen Han lowered her head, “Put on your clothes after you’re done washing, don’t ask so much!”

“Mom…”

“What else do you want to ask?!!!”

“Um…” Little Yuan looked down at the bathtub, “Those things floating on the water… are they seaweed?”

Wen Han: “…”

Maybe next time they shouldn’t bathe together.

But… in a few years, shouldn’t she also start educating Little Yuan about this?

Although such education is usually hard to bring up, as a parent, she should make sure the child understands these things early on to better protect herself, right?

That night, as a mother, Wen Han was deeply pondering how to educate her daughter about these matters.

…

She couldn’t sleep all night.

The next morning, Wen Han got up early, brushing her teeth while sending flirtatious messages to Zhao Mengsheng, deepening their bond.

After dropping Little Yuan off at kindergarten, Zhao Mengsheng suddenly asked: [Have you been free lately?]

“Hmm?”

Putting on her helmet, Wen Han smiled slightly as she rode her small electric scooter to the corner of the street: [Yes, work hasn’t been as busy recently.]

[Would Miss Wen be honored to have dinner with me?]

[Haha, you’re so funny, Zhao Mengsheng.]

[I’ve reserved a seat; I’ll pick you up tonight.]

“Is every man like this when they’re ‘in love’?”

Wen Han stroked her chin and finally sent a casual [M].

This seemingly indifferent word made Wen Han seem demure and shy, as if reluctantly agreeing.

Zhao Mengsheng was overjoyed, but Wen Han raised an eyebrow instantly.

“Oh? Zhou Bin?”

…

“Connected! Connected!!!”

In the public restroom, sounds came from the neighboring stall.

Zhou Bin held his nose against the stench, looking at the connected phone in delight.

“Wen Han, is that you?!”

“Brother Zhou?” Wen Han’s surprised voice came through, “Are you still in Casino City?”

“I…” She still cares about me? So it wasn’t intentional to leave me behind?

Zhou Bin hesitated for a moment: “I’m penniless… Wen Han, I’m penniless!”

Splat, another sound came from the neighboring stall.

“Brother Zhou, don’t be sad.” Wen Han sighed, “Where are you now?”

“I returned to Star River City, I only have you now!” Having lost money, he couldn’t lose this woman who was almost within reach.

Zhou Bin’s heartfelt voice was touching: “Wen Han, I can’t lose you… Can I see you?”

“This…” Wen Han hesitated, “Brother Zhou, I’m not convenient right now.”

“Do you despise me?!” Zhou Bin suddenly became agitated, finally having an epiphany, splat, he fell into the toilet, “Wen Han, do you despise me because I’m broke?”

After a brief silence, Wen Han suddenly laughed coldly.

“So you see me like this?”

Ding…

The call ended, leaving Zhou Bin stunned.

He blinked blankly, then suddenly realized something and slapped himself.

“What did I do?”

Wen Han’s words proved that she wasn’t like that, but rather very concerned about him!

But just now I…

Zhou Bin panicked, dialing again.

But this time, it was hung up directly!

“No… No! I need to find her!”

How could he let such a prize slip away easily?

Having gone to Casino City and lost everything for her, he couldn’t watch her fall into someone else’s arms!

Pulling up his pants, Zhou Bin rushed out of the restroom in a hurry.

…

Light Magic Society.

“It’s here!”

Fat Brother’s voice made Su Zeheng look up immediately.

Everyone gathered around, and soon saw images of Wen Han and Zhou Bin gambling in Casino City on the computer screen.

“During our pursuit and search for the axe murderer, they appeared in Casino City.”

“Zhou Bin?” Su Zeheng frowned, “If I remember correctly, Wen Han has already returned.”

“Old Su, are you sure you don’t need our help?” Crew-cut Old Chen turned around.

But Su Zeheng shook his head again: “I have to handle Wen Han’s matter myself… Now that she has accelerated things, I must take action too.”

Picking up his vest from the coat rack, he quickly left the office.

…

Zhou Bin’s matter didn’t leave any trace in Wen Han’s heart.

She was confident that no man could leave a mark on her!

“Keep regretting it yourself; soon you will really fall in love with me~”

Hanging up Zhou Bin’s call again, Wen Han went home and changed into a black strapless dress, pinning up her long black hair with a feather hair clip.

When night fell, she finally sent the address, waiting for Zhao Mengsheng to pick her up.

“Wen Han!” A small car stopped in front of her quickly, and Zhao Mengsheng stepped out confidently, “Sorry, did you wait long?”

“No problem.” Wen Han lowered her head shyly when she saw him, seemingly unable to face him.

Zhao Mengsheng’s face lit up, teasing her instead: “Didn’t we chat well online? Why are you so shy today?”

“I’m not shy at all!” Wen Han pouted, lowering her head to get into the passenger seat.

They drove off.

Excited, Zhao Mengsheng couldn’t help turning to gaze at her: “Why have you been so busy these days? It’s so hard to arrange a dinner date.”

“Work.” Wen Han replied casually, “I’ve been on a business trip these days.”

“On a business trip?” Zhao Mengsheng nodded, and the car fell silent.

Neither knew how long had passed when Zhao Mengsheng suddenly reached out to hold Wen Han’s hand.

But Wen Han reacted quickly, suddenly looking like a startled deer, covering her chest with both hands, her face flushed red.

The car became even more silent, and Wen Han looked around nervously.

Seeing her submissive demeanor, although she still refused physical contact, Zhao Mengsheng understood.

“What do you want to eat?” He suddenly asked gently.

Wen Han stammered: “I… anything is fine.”

“Do you know what day it is today?”

“Huh?” Wen Han was confused, “What day is it?”
