Chapter 101: Love at First Sight

Xu Damao's heart was as still as dead water, ah.

He felt he was already pitiful enough.

Now Lou Xiao'e not only didn't comfort him, she even wanted to divorce him......

He clenched his teeth, staring fixedly at Lou Xiao'e, who had already sat up on the bed and turned her head to the side.

After a moment.

He stomped his foot, steeled his heart, and asked:

"Then, if I give you the right to be a mother, you wouldn't need to divorce me, would you?"

Upon hearing that.

Lou Xiao'e turned her head to look at him, her eyes widening.

Xu Damao let out a long breath and said:

"Xiao'e, I really love you too much."

"I can't imagine what life would be like without you."

Lou Xiao'e snorted and said:

"Don't say those useless things."

"I know very well whether you have me in your heart."

"I'm past the age of naivety."

Xu Damao felt depressed.

Lou Xiao'e is impervious to both soft and hard approaches, impervious to persuasion, ah.

Looks like I still need to keep pulling out big moves.

Thinking, he spoke softly:

"This is what I'm thinking: let's borrow seed."

Lou Xiao'e widened her eyes again:

"What did you say?"

Lou Xiao'e had already heard the subtext in Xu Damao's words just now.

She thought Xu Damao was just saying it casually.

She didn't expect Xu Damao to say it again.

However, she still found it hard to believe.

Xu Damao let out a long sigh and said:

"Xiao'e, the doctor said I might never be able to have children in this lifetime."

"So I was thinking, why don't we borrow seed from Lin Shengli?"

"Don't rush, hear me out first."

"Lin Shengli is a genius, ah, with high IQ, and he's tall and handsome."

"And you're so beautiful, cultured, and smart."

"If you two had a child, it would definitely be both beautiful and smart."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Xu Damao and said nothing.

At first she was strongly opposed to borrowing seed.

But hearing it was Lin Shengli, she couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.

"Lin Shengli is too handsome, ah."

Xu Damao: "Xiao'e, just consider this my plea, okay?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said:

"Xu Damao, I can first not divorce you."

"But we must live separately."

Xu Damao instinctively shouted "ah".

Lou Xiao'e: "What 'ah'?"

"If you don't agree, I'll divorce you."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and shouted:

"Fine, I agree."

"Anyway, sleeping together won't produce children."

"If Lou Xiao'e is unwilling, he'll secretly go find another woman."

"As long as Lou Xiao'e doesn't divorce him, it's fine."

"Xiao'e, there's a movie showing at the factory tonight, want to go watch?"

Lou Xiao'e: "Sure, why not go?"

Xu Damao: "Okay, I'll save you the best seat."

"By the way, after the movie, the factory leaders might want me to go drink."

Lou Xiao'e: "Go ahead, but don't drink too much."

Evening.

Xu Damao early on directed people to raise the screen.

Then.

He sat at the table with the projector and began preparing to show the film.

Afterward, he picked up the microphone and spoke loudly:

Fellow workers, fellow family members, the film being screened for everyone now is a domestic film, Ashima.

Just as they were about to start the screening, Qin Huairu brought Qin Jingru and sat in the seat he had reserved for Lin Shengli and Zheng Juan.

His brows furrowed, he shouted loudly:

"Hey, you can't sit there."

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru turned their heads.

Qin Huairu asked:

"Why?"

Upon seeing Qin Jingru, Xu Damao stared dumbfounded.

This girl is so lovely.

"I thought it was someone else; it turns out to be Qin Jie."

After saying that, Xu Damao walked over, sat opposite Qin Jingru, looked for a moment, then asked Qin Huairu:

"Qin Jie, who is this girl?"

"She's so lovely."

Upon hearing that, Qin Jingru blushed, smiled shyly, and lowered her head.

Qin Huairu laughed and said:

"Lovely, right?"

"No matter how lovely, it's none of your business."

"You're a married man."

"Just stare then."

Xu Damao: "After hearing this, are you here to find a match for the girl?"

Qin Huairu: "Yes, I plan to introduce my sister to He Yuzhu."

Xu Damao frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

"He Yuzhu?"

"How is this name so familiar?"

"Is he from our factory?"

Qin Huairu laughed: "You're pretending to be stupid."

Upon hearing the word "stupid," Xu Damao suddenly realized: "Shazhu, right?"

Just then, Lin Shengli and Zheng Juan walked over hand in hand.

Xu Damao hurriedly said:

"Section Chief Lin has arrived; the seat you're sitting in is Section Chief Lin's."

Qin Huairu glanced at Lin Shengli, took a deep breath, stood up, looked around, and said:

"Jingru, let's come over here to sit."

Qin Huairu chose the seat behind the one they had just been sitting in.

She suddenly wanted to introduce Qin Jingru to Lin Shengli.

Although she knew Lin Shengli and Zheng Juan had already confirmed their relationship and had been practically inseparable lately.

but what of it?

Xu Damao is married too.

Doesn't he still miss Qin Jingru just the same?

Men, after all, always eat from the bowl while eyeing the pot.

"Shengli, Xiao Juan, come on, come on, here, this seat is the best."

"I saved it especially for you."

Before Lin Shengli and Zheng Juan had even approached, Xu Damao went up to meet them and said:

"Thank you, Damao (Brother Damao)."

"Don't be polite, we're brothers."

Lin Shengli glanced at Qin Jingru sitting behind, then sat down.

"Shengli, Xiao Juan, you sit first, I'll start the movie now."

Xu Damao said, walked back to the projector, and started the movie.

Qin Jingru kept staring at Lin Shengli, completely unable to focus on the movie.

At the first sight of Lin Shengli, her heart raced.

"So handsome!"

"She fell for him at first sight."

"But when she looked at Zheng Juan, she felt a bit inferior."

"Zheng Juan is not only beautiful, but also has an elegant demeanor."

"They are a perfect match made in heaven."

"Thinking about it, she suddenly let out a soft sigh."

"Qin Huairu actually wasn't paying attention to the movie either."

"She had been secretly observing Qin Jingru."

"She had already figured out that Qin Jingru likes Lin Shengli."

"It would be strange if she didn't."

"With Lin Shengli so handsome, which woman wouldn't like him?"

She also likes.

However, Lin Shengli is always lukewarm toward her, indifferent.

Upon seeing Qin Jingru sigh, she rolled her eyes, brought her mouth close to Qin Jingru's ear, and asked softly:

"Handsome, right?"

Qin Jingru instinctively shouted "Ah".

Then.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Qin Huairu smiled, then whispered in her ear:

"The person you've taken a liking to is currently the hottest person in our factory."

"He's a talent who has made a great contribution to our factory; the factory leadership especially values him."

"His monthly salary is over a hundred dollars."

Hearing this, Qin Jingru's eyes, as she looked at Lin Shengli's back, grew all dreamy.

"Look at you, all lovesick—you've fallen for him, right?"
