Chapter 285: with translation of chapter title

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but interrupt:

"Alright, stop talking."

"I think you've taken a liking to Teacher Ran and her son, right?"

"You may not go."

Shazhu was startled for a moment: "Look at the way you speak."

"It's not that. On what grounds are you forbidding me to go?"

"What relationship do we have?"

"We have no relationship at all, right?"

Qin Huairu: "Yes, we have no relationship whatsoever."

"But I like you."

"I want to marry you."

Shazhu was stunned again: "Why go early?"

"How many times have I begged you to marry?"

"Every time you say Bang Geng has to take the initiative to talk to me before you agree."

"What? Has Bang Geng agreed now?"

Qin Huairu: "I've thought it over; I need to fight for myself, I can't control Bang Geng that much anymore."

"I think he will definitely support me."

Shazhu: "But now I have to manage it; I've already said, let me think it over properly."

"You can't pressure me that tightly."

Qin Huairu: "Do you no longer like Bang Geng and the others?"

Shazhu: "How could I not like them? These three kids, I've never treated them as outsiders."

Qin Huairu: "Isn't that perfect? Once we get the marriage certificate, we can become a real family."

Shazhu: "No, I've already told you, slowly, slowly, ah."

"My mind right now isn't on this at all."

"It's all on opening the restaurant."

Qin Huairu: "Shazhu, just tell me honestly, have you taken a liking to Teacher Ran?"

Shazhu: "I don't know either, but if I did like her, it's understandable, right?"

"She's single, and I'm single too."

Qin Huairu regretted.

She was filled with regret.

Had I known it would be like this, I should have gotten the marriage certificate with Shazhu from the start.

Now, with Teacher Ran suddenly appearing, what should she do?

She doesn't have Teacher Ran's wealth, nor Teacher Ran's youth and beauty, and Teacher Ran even has a higher education...

On what basis can she compete with Teacher Ran?

The crux is that Shazhu is almost having his soul drawn away by Teacher Ran!

No, I must not give up!

I must not let Shazhu be with Teacher Ran.

Thinking over and over, Qin Huairu swore in her heart.

With a long sigh, Qin Huairu said hoarsely:

"Shazhu, you no longer have me in your heart, right?"

"Do you know how I've been these past few days?"

"Have you ever felt heartache for me?"

"Have you ever cared about me?"

"I couldn't sleep all night long."

"I kept forcing myself to think about this matter."

"Yes, she's not easy; she drifts alone, and her husband already has someone else out there."

"But I understand, I'm kind‑hearted, so do I have to give you up to her?"

Shazhu got angry, and even though Qin Huairu cried until the very end.

But he still said in a bad mood:

"If you put it that way, then I have to explain it to you properly."

"It's only been these few days for you."

"How many years have I been?"

"All these years, I've always been thinking about our matter."

"I also can't sleep well or eat well."

"But you always use Bang Geng as a shield."

"Don't even try to explain; I think you really are using Bang Geng as a shield."

"No one is a fool, right?"

"I just don't want to say it."

"Speaking of which, after all these years, have you ever felt heartache for me?"

"Have you ever cared about me?"

Qin Huairu asked coldly: "What do you mean?"

"You've decided to be with Teacher Ran?"

Shazhu: "No, I've told you before, I and Teacher Ran are now partners opening a restaurant."

"If you insist on forcing us together, then there's nothing I can do."

Qin Huairu glanced at Shazhu, saying nothing.

Instead, she silently shed tears.

Shazhu took a deep breath and said:

"Alright, don't cry."

"Let me think it over properly, okay?"

"Give me some time; maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow, and once I do, we'll go get the marriage certificate."

"What nonsense!"

Shazhu is now thinking: if Teacher Ran is willing to be with him, he definitely won't want Qin Huairu.

He's merely employing a delaying tactic.

After all, he still doesn't know what Teacher Ran thinks.

What if Teacher Ran doesn't like him?

Meanwhile, he's also offended Qin Huairu.

That's just like trying to carry water in a bamboo basket—all for nothing.

How could Shazhu possibly do such a foolish thing?

Qin Huairu lifted her head, glanced at Shazhu, and said nothing.

Shazhu then said: "Actually, I've always liked you; you already knew that."

"I also know you're kind and reasonable."

"Actually, I haven't been hiding anything from you; I haven't lied to you."

"I tell you whatever there is, right?"

"All I want now is to open a restaurant and make big money."

"If we do that, our future life will be better, right?"

Qin Huairu: "But I'm worried you'll be snatched away by Teacher Ran."

"Snatched away?"

"That's exactly what I want."

"No, I really am just opening a restaurant with her."

"Alright, I'm tired after a day; you go back first, ah, I'll get a good sleep."

Meanwhile.

Xiao Dang sat on the bed and said to Huaihua:

"That's fine; the school-run factory disbanded, so I can work together with Sha Shu."

"So I support Sha Shu opening this restaurant."

Huaihua asked: "What can you do?"

"You can't cook."

Xiao Dang thought and said: "I can be the Manager."

"Restaurants invested in by Gangdao people are all of a certain scale."

"Hey, look at me like this..."

Having said that, Xiao Dang stood up and continued:

"I just stand there and say to them, 'Hey hey hey, what are you looking at?'"

"Hurry up and attend to the customers!"

"Hey, you, you, it's you—stop looking and get to work!"

Huaihua laughed: "Then, how do you talk about our Sha Shu?"

Xiao Dang changed his tone and said:

"Oh dear, Head Chef Shazhu, this dish is a bit salty."

"What, does your family sell salt?"

Huaihua laughed: "Then what about our mom? Our mom?"

Xiao Dang thought and said: "Our mom... oh, Comrade Qin Huairu."

"We can't keep wearing these clothes like this."

"It's unsightly."

"Then I'll have to lean close to our mom's ear and tell her to be more stylish, more pretty."

"Watch out, Teacher Ran might snatch away Sha Shu!"

Huaihua burst out laughing upon hearing that.

Xiao Dang then said: "Let me tell you, if I happen to see something..."

"Um, a pleasant-looking customer."

"I'll give him a flirtatious glance and gently ask him..."

"Cough, cough, just ask like that."

"Do you have a partner?"

"If not, we can start dating."

In a gentle voice she said up to this point, then suddenly raised her hand pointing at Huaihua and, in a husky, resonant tone, continued:

"But I tell you, only I can kick you, you can't kick me."

Huaihua laughed, "Alright, alright, sis, stop talking, you're making my stomach hurt from laughing."

Xiao Dang sat down, patted Huaihua's shoulder, and laughed:

"Just knew you'd laugh......"
