Chapter 7: Is this an affair?

Just at that moment, a slightly puzzled voice came from the living room outside, “Manager Zhou?”

Zhou Chengjing gestured to open the bathroom door but was stopped by Su Man: “You!”

Even though Zhou Chengjing had been hoping for an opportunity like the one where she deliberately accused him of touching her mounds, Su Man, however, thought he was being arrogant and fearless, leaving her speechless with anger.

In this current situation, with both of them of the opposite sex silently staying in the bathroom together… Although they hadn’t done anything, being caught in such a situation by Wang Li, she couldn’t explain it at all.

After Wang Li called out and saw the bathroom light on, he had a rough idea of Zhou Chengjing’s whereabouts, so he didn’t search further. Instead, he turned to talk to Su Man: “Darling…”

He headed towards the bedroom because the bathroom was next to it, and Su Man could hear footsteps getting closer.

She was afraid that Wang Li would push open the bedroom door and find no one there, and even more afraid that he would come directly to the bathroom. In a panic, she hurriedly spoke up, trying to preemptively explain: “I’m using the toilet!”

Wang Li didn’t suspect anything, but he seemed a bit dejected, feeling that Manager Zhou was still upset. Otherwise, with his good manners, how could he just leave without saying goodbye?

But now that he had left, Wang Li didn’t have time to dwell on it. He took off his apron and continued talking to Su Man: “We’re out of salt at home, I’m going to buy some. Can you watch the soup on the stove for me?”

This was like falling asleep and being handed a pillow. Su Man quickly agreed: “Sure!”

As the door opened and closed, Wang Li left in a hurry, not noticing that Zhou Chengjing’s shoes were still in the corner of the cabinet.

As soon as he left, Su Man came out of the bathroom, keeping a distance of eight steps from Zhou Chengjing, her face stern as she urged him to leave: “You should go, don’t come back, you’re not welcome here.”

Although he felt regretful, Zhou Chengjing didn’t insist. He listened to her and changed his shoes, about to leave when Su Man said, “Wait.”

She ran to the kitchen, watched Wang Li leave the building, then signaled to him, “You can go now.”

“Manman…”

Zhou Chengjing hesitated, then couldn’t help but ask, “Are you having an affair with me?”

In response, Su Man slammed the door shut heavily.

Because of this incident, Su Man didn’t feel comfortable telling Wang Li about Zhou Chengjing’s lewd behavior towards her in the short term.

She felt aggrieved for a while, but perhaps the conversation they had last time had an effect. In the following half month, Zhou Chengjing didn’t show up again, and Su Man gradually forgot about him.

On another weekend, Su Man went to visit Wang Li’s parents with him, and they started arguing when they came back.

When they both earned similar salaries before, Wang Li’s mother always felt that Su Man was living off her son and gave her a hard time. Now that Wang Li was earning even more, his mother became even more unreasonable and said some hurtful things during dinner.

The key point was that for the first time, Su Man realized that Wang Li also thought like that, believing that she was completely dependent on him.

Feeling very wronged, Su Man argued with him for a few sentences and then sadly ran out of the house.

She originally intended to go back to her own parents, but unexpectedly, she ran into Zhou Chengjing when she went downstairs.
