Chapter 190: Chills on my Back

Qin Lihua bit her lip and said nothing.

Cai Jun wiped the corner of his mouth and said, “After the Spring Festival.”

He couldn’t really tell when it started.

He just lied. Before the Spring Festival, he did have a crush on Sun Lanlan, and he also knew what Sun Bingnan meant. When his parents mentioned his marriage during the Spring Festival, he went to the Sun family, thinking that if Sun’s parents had no objection to him, he would ask his parents to invite a matchmaker to come to their house.

Who knew that before he could break this layer of window paper, he met Qin Lihua.

She was different from the women he had met before. Qin Lihua was beautiful and passionate.

He and Sun Lanlan had been working together for nearly half a year. The two of them could talk and laugh together, but there was never any moment that made his heart beat fast.

Being with Qin Lihua, looking at her eyes of admiration and love, I always feel particularly satisfied.

Especially that time in the cinema, they watched “Lush Mountain Love” together. When the heroine went to kiss the hero, Qin Lihua also kissed him.

At that moment, Cai Jun felt like he was shot in the heart by an arrow.

In the following days, the two would meet whenever they had time, and Cai Jun became more and more addicted.

He also felt guilty and tried to explain things to Sun Lanlan several times.

But the relationship between them was still intact. If he took the initiative to talk to her about something, he would feel that he was ruining the girl’s reputation for nothing.

It would be better if they just remained colleagues.

Lin Chuxia felt that she had lived a lifetime and was pretty good at judging people, but she never expected something like this to happen right under her nose.

She looked at Qin Lihua again, “Do your parents know?”

“Fourth Aunt…”

Qin Lihua screamed and lowered her head silently.

Lin Chuxia still didn’t understand something and sighed.

“Cai Jun, I’ll give you a day off tomorrow. Go back and find a matchmaker to propose marriage in the next few days. Although love is free now, the girl’s reputation is more important than anything else. Your behavior today has crossed the line.”

A man and a woman are alone in the boys’ dormitory so late at night. What can’t outsiders say if they want to make up rumors?
“Yes, Mr. Lin, I understand.”

“Well, go back.”

Cai Jun hesitated for a moment, “Boss Lin, can I…change my dormitory?”

Lin Chuxia raised her eyes, “What? Are you still afraid that Third Brother Sun will beat you again? Go back, Third Brother Sun is not that kind of person. He has already beaten you if he wants to vent his anger.”

Only then did Cai Jun leave the office.

Now, Qin Lihua and Lin Chuxia were the only ones left in the office. Qin Lihua became even more nervous, “Fourth Aunt, I’m going back too.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll go back with you.”

It was so late, and Qin Lihua was working for her, so she had to be responsible for her safety.

Lin Chuxia went to Sun Lanlan’s dormitory first.

Seeing her, Sun Lanlan smiled indifferently, “Isn’t it a bit exciting tonight? Seeing Cai Jun like this, it makes me lose all my previous nervousness. Otherwise, I would have been disgusted by Liu Dahui and couldn’t sleep. Now, negatives make positives. Seeing Cai Jun like this, I can sleep well tonight. You can go back. I don’t need you to accompany me. You staying here will only disturb my sleep.”

“Okay, don’t try to be stubborn with me. I may not have any other skills, but I can still lend you my shoulder to lean on,” Lin Chuxia patted her shoulder.

Sun Lanlan pushed her and said, “I won’t be sad for that kind of person.”

She sighed, and her voice became much calmer. “Xia Xia, I still feel pretty lucky. My family told me about Liu Dahui before, and it was you who stopped me from meeting him. I’ve seen it these days. Liu Dahui is really not someone you can marry. How should I put it? Even if nothing happened tonight, I can see that he’s a bit extreme.”

What happened tonight further confirmed her opinion.

Most of these people are chauvinistic and do not allow others to go against their ideas. Once you disobey them, the consequences will be either beating or scolding.

There are many men like this in the village. She has seen those men beating their wives and they would beat them to death.

When Sun Lanlan thought of those days, she felt a chill down her spine.

“As for Cai Jun, although I do have some feelings for him, it’s just that we’ve worked together for a long time and I don’t dislike being with him. As a result… This also shows that he just treats me like that. In this case, I might as well help him.”

Especially after seeing the relationship between Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang, she became more and more suspicious of that kind of ordinary relationship.

If you love someone, you should have him (her) in your eyes and heart, instead of thinking that this one is okay, and then hooking your fingers around others and thinking that that one is not bad either.

Lin Chuxia said with some resentment, “I still need to comfort you, but you just let it go on your own. Don’t you even give me room to play?”

Sun Lanlan was a little arrogant. “After all, I am the store manager now. If I can’t handle such a small storm, how can I manage the store? Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Sun Lanlan knew that Qin Lihua was still outside, so she asked Lin Chuxia to go home quickly.

He was worried about her walking at night, so he asked her third brother to send her off.

Sun Bingnan was still angry. After Cai Jun came back, he ignored him and did not attack him again.

Cai Jun felt guilty, so he went into the house, packed his things, and returned to his hometown overnight.

There was no problem in asking him to send Lin Chuxia off at this moment. When he saw Qin Lihua, he was still a little angry, but he also knew the importance of the matter, so he responded and went to push the bicycle.

Su Wensong had been in the yard. Seeing that these people went back to their homes and everything was peaceful, he glanced at Sun Lanlan’s dormitory and followed her out of the yard.

The thrilling night passed just like that.

The next morning, after going to work, Lin Chuxia went to the steamed bun shop at the train station first.

Seeing that Sun Lanlan looked the same as usual and her face didn’t look haggard from lack of sleep, I felt a little relieved.

“Third brother is also at the bun shop today?”

We agreed yesterday that we would report to the Xiayang Food Factory today, but Cai Jun is not here for the next two days, so Sun Bingnan is also suitable here.

Sun Lanlan glanced at Lin Chuxia and said, “You two really take me for granted. I’ve told you that everything is fine. Don’t worry.”

Sun Lanlan felt that she could let go of a man with no talent at all.

Lin Chuxia touched her chin, thinking about this matter, “Although my sister is generous, Cai Jun’s behavior is not fair, and we can’t just let it go. Tell me, do you want me to fire him, or do you want me to fire him directly? You are the store manager and you have the right to do so.”

Sun Lanlan put down the work in her hands and was stunned for a moment. “To be honest, Xia Xia, I did have this idea at the time, but after a night, I felt that it was unnecessary. The more I thought about it, the more I seemed to care about him, which made me embarrassed. If I think about it carefully, do I really care about him? I seem to care more about money. I find that compared with men, making money is more important.”

“well said!”

Lin Chuxia gave her a thumbs up and increasingly realized that Sun Lanlan was more insightful than she was.

How could such a smart and insightful person like Sun Lanlan be forced to commit suicide by Liu Dahui in her previous life?

Fortunately, it is absolutely impossible for me to be with Liu Dahui in this life.

Having said that, Lin Chuxia did not intend to let Cai Jun continue working in the steamed bun shop at the train station. She found Su Wensong that afternoon and transferred two employees from the food factory to the steamed bun shop to replace Cai Jun and Sun Bingnan’s jobs.
