The next day was the order fair.


    Compared to the first event mainly managed by Xiong Dapao, this one was a full disy of Chen Men''s capabilities.


    Not only would Yuanyuan perform, but Chen Men also wanted to bring Little Wang, Little Lang, Yan Zhao, and the whole family to the order fair. Having spent her previous life as a housewife, she never imagined that after her rebirth, she coulde this far and achieve something. She naturally wanted Yan Zhao and the children to see it.


    As for Yu Xiaoqiao''s case, while it was difficult to investigate from aw enforcement perspective, it was much easier from a business perspective. Today, Chen Men could easily identify the bureau-level official who was involved with her.


    At nine in the morning, the whole family arrived at 271.


    Yan Zhao stayed in Chen Men''s office, as this was a fieldpletely unrted to his work. He was merely there to observe how Chen Men and her subordinates worked.


    Worried that some distributors might make inappropriate jokes with Men, he brought a book - the "Diamond Sutra" that his mother used to read - nning to read it if he got angry, to help himself stay calm and avoid getting violent.


    But he didn''t have time to take out the book because from the start, he was captivated by Hu Xiaohua.


    Hu Xiaohua would run in the corridor one moment, then jump around the next, followed by loud shouting, just like a boxer preparing to enter the ring for a match.


    When it was twelve o''clock, he headed towards the guest house.


    The distributors were all arranged to stay in the guest house. Led by Hu Xiaohua, cafeteria staff carried lunch boxes, one for each person, with Hu Xiaohua personally delivering them to each room.


    Some distributors would ask about the boss, wondering why Chen Men wasn''t there.


    Hu Xiaohua''s response wasn''t just words - he would kneel on one knee, holding the lunch box above his head, gesturing for the bosses to eat.


    After lunch, while the distributors rested, Chen Men also took a short break, making the children take a nap with her in the office.


    Though this should have been an extremely busy day for her, she didn''t seem as busy as Yan Zhao had imagined.


    When Yuanyuan''s voice became a bit hoarse, worried she wouldn''t be able to sing in the afternoon, Chen Men had already bought some throat lozenges and other medicines to help soothe her throat before Yan Zhao even noticed.


    By afternoon, Little Lang and Little Wang were kept in the office, while Yuanyuan, who needed to perform, was assigned a young man to escort her backstage to wait with the models.


    When the order fair officially began, the sky was crystal clear. The factory area was clean and renewed. The veterans still wore their old military uniforms, running back and forth in an orderly manner. There were fireworks and cannons, and the seats had name tags for all attendees. Xue Mingfang led a group of veterans in guiding the guests to their seats.


    Until now, she still hadn''t directly interacted with the distributors, only controlling everything from a distance.


    If anything needed to be done or anyone needed instructions, she could simply speak through the walkie-talkie.


    The veterans'' high efficiency in executing orders was like adding wings to a tiger for her.


    Soon, Xiong Dapao arrived with Yu Xiaoqiao. At this time, Yan Zhao and his two sons were still in Chen Men''s office, watching through the window.


    As soon as Xiong Dapao''s Crown car entered the factory gate, it was surrounded by distributors.


    Meanwhile, his girlfriend Yu Xiaoqiao was drawn aside by Chen Men.


    Yan Zhao stood with his arms crossed, still watching quietly.


    She was wearing the same suit as Men, with shoulder-length straight hair and light makeup. Last time, Yan Zhao hadn''t looked carefully, but now, knowing she was the leader of a honey trap gang, he observed her closely. Even he, who had encountered all sorts of criminals, couldn''t tell she was one.


    She was both refined and timid, scanning the venue with an exceptionally gentle smile.


    So far, Yan Zhao had only discovered that her household registration was in Baotou, but hadn''t yet learned about her family background and situation.


    Downstairs, Chen Men noticed only Yu Xiaoqiao was present, without Xiong Dapao''s son, and was slightly surprised: "Mr. Xiong, where''s your child? Didn''t you say today..."


    "Don''t mention it. My son can''t get along with Xiaoqiao. When he heard she wasing, he refused toe no matter what," Xiong Dapao exined.


    If Yan Zhao hadn''t told her about Yu Xiaoqiao''s involvement in honey traps, Chen Men would have felt disappointed.


    But since she could investigate Yu Xiaoqiao from the honey trap angle, she wasn''t concerned about Xiong''s son anymore.


    Xiong Dapao had already been pulled away by distributors for conversation.


    Standing with Chen Men, Yu Xiaoqiao looked around and sincerely said, "Boss Chen, you''ve organized this order fair so well. If I can take over 291 in the future, I''d like to learn from you to make 291 as good as 271."


    "You were a boss before, you should have more experience than me in this area. I''m actually worried I haven''t done well enough and might embarrass a big entrepreneur like you," Chen Men was obviously being diplomatic and polite.


    The truth about Yu Xiaoqiao was that she was one of the masterminds of the honey trap gang. Previously, they had been running honey traps in the south. Her money was all earned through these schemes, but now that she had earned enough, she was nning to leave that life behind, like a prostitute going straight.


    When prostitutes go straight, they usually look for an honest man to marry.


    They also need to find a ce where nobody knows them to whitewash their past and start anew.


    For Yu Xiaoqiao''s retirement, Xiong Dapao was the honest man she had chosen for herself.


    Xiping City was far ind, where few people knew her, which was why she chose this ce.


    If she weren''t clever, she might have abandoned her former associates and started fresh alone under a new identity. But Yu Xiaoqiao wasn''t that simple-minded. She knew that in today''s connected society, her former associates would eventually find her even if she hid. If by then she had built a sessful business and family, wouldn''t those associates be able to ckmail her?


    So she simply brought everyone along to go straight together, and made an effort towork with officials to build a foundation for her business in Xiping City.


    Although she still asionally slept with other powerful older men, that was purely for business benefits and connections.


    In terms of genuine feelings, she naturally loved pretty boys like Xiong Dapao.


    She was serious about building her business, so she was particrly polite to Chen Men, wanting to learn as much as possible.


    "Aren''t you the boss? Why aren''t you entertaining the guests?" Yu Xiaoqiao asked, noticing how rxed Chen Men seemed.


    Chen Men exined, "I have an excellent sales manager who helps me take care of the guests."


    Yu Xiaoqiao pointed at Hu Xiaohua and said, "Him, right? I heard he has a ''knife in his fate'' and most people can''t handle him."


    "That''s just nonsense. Xiaohua is a good kid, extremely loyal and capable. He just doesn''t like being managed, so some bosses who couldn''t handle him spread rumors about him having a ''knife in his fate.'' But actually, if you can win him over and earn his loyalty, he''s the best salesperson in the world - worth more than eight hundred elite soldiers," Chen Men exined.


    Yu Xiaoqiao sighed deeply, "Oh, I see."


    At this moment, Yuanyuan took the stage to sing "Flowers and Clouds Across the Sky," which had be famous nationwide following the sess of "Return to the City." Because Yuanyuan was a child star, the venue briefly fell silent, with almost everyone focusing on the stage.


    Hu Xiaohua became even more energetic, running to the front of the stage, leading the singing and pping rhythm.


    Once he started pping, everyone joined in singing, and gradually the song turned into a grand chorus.


    At first, the distributors were still somewhat formal with each other, being unfamiliar, but through singing together, they exchanged smiles and became acquainted. The venue grew increasingly lively.


    In short, Hu Xiaohua was excellent at creating atmosphere, and the entire venue could only be described as buzzing with enthusiasm.


    Not only did Xiong Dapao, standing among the crowd, realize that Hu Xiaohua''s abilities were on par with his own.


    Even Yan Zhao, watching from the window with crossed arms, couldn''t help but admire that Hu Xiaohua was truly talented.


    Yu Xiaoqiao followed Chen Men step by step, feeling utterly impressed by Hu Xiaohua.


    Before they knew it, it was already 5:30 PM, time to head to the Guoguang Grand Hotel for dinner.


    Chen Men spoke into the inte to Xue Mingfang: "Xiao Xue, notify the shuttle buses toe in. Ask the distributors to leave their seats and get them onto the buses. Tell Hu Xiaohua toe find me after he''s done - he''ll ride in my car."


    "Yes, chief," was Xue Mingfang''s brief response.


    About five minutester, several factory shuttle buses arrived. As before, Hu Xiaohua was busy directing everyone, getting the distributors onto themercial vehicles to take them to the hotel.


    The distributors seemed to havepletely forgotten there was a factory director named Chen Men. They had all be close friends with Hu Xiaohua, and when it was time to leave, each one held onto his hand, reluctant to let go.


    Originally, Yan Zhao and the children, along with Hu Xiaohua, were supposed to ride in Chen Men''s car.


    But in a sudden turn of events, Xiong Dapao came to Chen Men with a smile, saying: "Sister-inw, let Xiaoqiao follow you. She wants to start her own factory and thinks you''re amazing. She wants to learn from you. She''s my girlfriend, and I''m a great benefactor to our Factory 271 - you can''t refuse to teach her."


    Yu Xiaoqiao had be addicted to watching her do business and wanted to learn. She also wanted to observe up close how Chen Men managed to tame the monkey-like, hyperactive Hu Xiaohua.


    "Alright, then let Yan Zhao and the children ride in your car," Chen Men said, inviting Yu Xiaoqiao into her car and departing first.


    During the ride, Hu Xiaohua was bursting with energy, unable to sit still in the car. He kept grinning and chattering, his teeth chattering, asionally rubbing his face and punching himself.


    Yu Xiaoqiao, though well-versed in reading people, had never seen anyone like Hu Xiaohua. She asked Chen Men in amazement, "Boss Chen, what is he doing?"


    Chen Men replied tersely: "Warming up, preparing to rake in money."


    The phrase "rake in money" drew an exmation of admiration from Yu Xiaoqiao: "What a clever way to put it - ''rake in money.''"


    She had been running honey traps for years, sometimes extorting tens of thousands at a time - that was also raking in money, but it was illegal. Chen Men was different; she ran legitimate businesses, legally raking in money. This both amazed and excited Yu Xiaoqiao.


    She was ready to reform, but loving money was human nature, so she was particrly curious about how Chen Men raked in money.


    The evening banquet was arranged thus: as soon as the feast began, Hu Xiaohua would toast each table.


    The distributors hade to ce orders and brought money with them. While toasting, they would promise order amounts and pay on the spot. As Hu Xiaohua went from table to table making toasts, Xue Mingfang recorded the orders and collected money. By the end of the evening banquet, the quarter''s sales would be secured.


    After the general meeting concluded, the factory would arrange distribution and deliver goods to the distributors.


    This was the standard sales process nowadays.


    Chen Men was instructing Hu Xiaohua: "Drink lesster, cheat if necessary, don''t let those distributors get you drunk."


    Hu Xiaohua grinned widely: "Of course, Chief, don''t worry. Just watch how I rake in money for our factory."


    "If anyone forces you to drink, or if you feel unwell from drinking too much, give me a signal, and I''ll send someone to rece you," Chen Men added.


    As they arrived at the hotel, Hu Xiaohua was like a beast unleashed. Before Chen Men could even brake, he had already jumped out to greet the distributors, running and gesturing to Chen Men with a smile: "Don''t worry, Chief, I''ve got everything under control!"


    Raking in money was instinctive for him.


    To Yu Xiaoqiao, it all seemed like an unreal dream.


    Chen Men had her own private room, positioned so she could see outside through the open door, but others wouldn''t easily notice her.


    Throughout the event, she seemed detached yet was fully involved, making it look so easy that Yu Xiaoqiao wasn''t just envious - she wished she could be her right then and there.


    Soon after, Yan Zhao and Xiong Dapao arrived with the children, seated at the same table. Even on such a busy day, Chen Men remained calm and collected, taking time to encourage her daughter to drink water and chat with her children.


    By now, under Hu Xiaohua''s guidance, all the distributors were seated, and dishes began to arrive.


    The liquor was Wuliangye, bottles being opened and sses filled by servers as the feast officially began.


    Normally, Chen Men should have given a speech at this point, but instead, it was Hu Xiaohua who took the stage to announce the start of the banquet. Then, dropping the microphone, he raised his cup, drank three cups in session, and began making rounds to toast each table.


    Even Xiong Dapao sincerely admitted, "This kid Hu Xiaohua is better than me."


    Little Wang eximed in admiration, pointing at Hu Xiaohua darting around the room: "Mom, look! Uncle Hu is like a whirlwind! How can he run so fast? And with all that alcohol, won''t he get sick?"


    Chen Men sighed softly; this worried her too.


    Doing business in the 90s meant drinking andpeting for money - she couldn''t change this, at least not now. She could only ept it.


    With over forty distributors across eight tables, it was like clearing game levels. Hu Xiaohua held his wine cup, toasting table by table, addressing everyone as "Director X" or "Brother X," kneeling on one knee before each person and downing three cups.


    He was actually quite clever - he didn''t drink much, using tricks to dispose of most of the alcohol, but he was smooth with words. One moment he''dpliment a pot-bellied distributor on his good looks, saying his round belly contained the universe; the next moment, he''d point to a distributor with a wine-flushed nose and say he was glowing with imminent prosperity.


    Finally meeting a female distributor, a in-looking middle-aged woman in her forties, he acted as if blind to her appearance, continuously praising her as the most beautiful woman he''d ever seen. He asked if she was married, and upon hearing her son was about to get married, he immediately began beating his chest in mock despair: "Sister, I regret being born twenty years toote! If I were twenty years older, I would have chased away all your suitors and married you myself!"


    With just that line, the female distributor pulled twenty thousand yuan from her bag and pped it right on Hu Xiaohua''s head.


    She then drank three cups, drawing cheers from the entire room.


    Not only was Little Wang impressed and Xiong Dapao amazed, but even Yan Zhao quietly sighed and nodded in approval.


    Hu Xiaohua wasn''t just a sales genius - he was a walking harvester, a human money-printing machine. Every table he visited, he emptied the businessmen''s wallets.


    After one round, the transaction records had already reached 700,000 yuan, far exceeding the nned target.


    Xue Mingfang had never carried so much money before. His hands were heavy with the money bags, his face sweating, his heart pounding.


    But Hu Xiaohua wasn''t satisfied, saying he could still drink and wanted to make another round.


    Chen Men, worried about his health, had to leave her seat and personally instruct Wang Meng to bring several men to escort him into the private room.


    The wrap-up work was left to Xue Mingfang and his team.


    This perfect ordering conference exceeded Chen Men''s expectations by a full 200,000 yuan - they would be profitable this quarter!


    Hu Xiaohua was drunk, jumping around like a monkey: "Let me out, I can still drink!"


    Chen Men had strong tea ready, along with a spoon. She closed the private room door and tried to pry open Hu Xiaohua''s mouth to pour it in: "You''re already drunk, and the mission is sessfullypleted. Now drink this tea and throw up the alcohol!"


    "I won''t throw up! Those are all my brothers out there - why should I throw up the drinks they gave me?" Hu Xiaohua howled twice, then looked up to see Chen Men and started smiling again: "Sister-inw, you''re a good person. If it weren''t for you, I would have starved to death long ago. I want to drink and make money for you, no matter how much I have to drink."


    "Throw up!" Chen Men said, trying to force the spoon into his mouth.


    Hu Xiaohua was about to have a drunken fit: "I won''t throw up! I want to drink more, I can make another round!"


    Suddenly, he broke free from Wang Meng''s grip on his arms and tried to rush outside. Fortunately, Yan Zhao quickly stood up and delivered an elbow to Hu Xiaohua''s forehead, causing him to roll his eyes and copse into Yan Zhao''s arms.


    Not only did this startle Chen Men and draw a cry of surprise from Yu Xiaoqiao, but the children were also frightened: "Dad, why did you hit him?"


    "It''s fine, I only tapped him lightly. He''ll wake up soon," Yan Zhao exined.


    The next moment, he instructed Wang Meng, "Take Hu Xiaohua to the hospital for induced vomiting and intravenous fluids. Keep an eye on him these days and don''t let him drink anymore."


    In the blink of an eye, Hu Xiaohua was carried away by Wang Meng.


    Xiong Dapao felt a mix of sympathy and empathy. He turned to Yan Zhao and said, "Boss, the business world is like a battlefield, and the drinking table is where we stab each other. Now you understand why I also want to find a backer and some connections, don''t you? Business is tough."


    Yan Zhao patted Xiong Dapao on the shoulder.


    Once, they defended the country by stabbing each other, but merely stabbing wouldn''t make everyone rich.


    Now, drinking is what makes everyone rich. Stabbing is tough, and so is drinking, but that''s life, and that''s reality.


    The two men fell silent, and Chen Men also let out a soft sigh. The children, especially Little Wang, were witnessing the harshness of the business world. She reached out to Little Lang, stroked his little head, and whispered, "You don''t have to think about doing business in the future. It''s too hard. Let your brother do it. You... just let me take care of you."


    Little Lang and Yuanyuan said in unison, "Brother, take care of Mom too. We won''t let her do business anymore."


    Doing business is too hard.


    Little Wang nodded vigorously, "Okay."


    He couldn''t wait to grow up. He wanted to go into business like Hu Xiaohua and make money to support his mother.


    At this moment, the dealers in the hall had been persuaded to leave. It was nine-thirty in the evening, and half of the hall''s lights were turned off. The waiters were cleaning the tables and clearing the trash, leaving a strong smell of alcohol in the air.


    Stepping out the door, the two families were about to say their goodbyes.


    But just then, Yu Xiaoqiao suddenly said, "Sister-inw, there''s something I''m really curious about. Why is Hu Xiaohua so loyal to you? He just mentioned that you saved his life. What happened?"


    This was a business secret, and Xiong Dapao felt that Yu Xiaoqiao''s question was inappropriate.


    Because Hu Xiaohua was indeed a talent. On the battlefield, he could hold off ten thousand enemies with one man.


    And Yu Xiaoqiao''s hidden meaning was that she wanted to poach him.


    "Xiaoqiao, you shouldn''t ask that... Sister-inw, Xiaoqiao was just joking with you," Xiong Dapao said to both sides.


    Chen Men, however, seemed to be in a daze as she smiled and said, "Yan Zhao once arrested Hu Xiaohua and took him to the bureau. It was me who saved him. Since I saved him, he''s naturally loyal to me."


    Yu Xiaoqiao opened her mouth wide and sighed, "So that''s how it was. You saved his life. That''s wonderful."


    Xiong Dapao felt that Yu Xiaoqiao''s words were a bit off. After getting into the car, he sincerely said, "Xiaoqiao, I''m about as capable as Hu Xiaohua. I''m fine with entertaining clients. If you go into business, I''ll handle the entertaining for you."


    Yu Xiaoqiao sat in the passenger seat, pinched Xiong Dapao''s face, and looked at him with a gaze that was almost doting, saying softly, "But you''re going to run a paint factory and sell clothes. I still want someone like Hu Xiaohua, someone who is exclusively mine. I can see that with him, I can save half the effort."


    Xiong Dapao had only vaguely guessed before, but now he realized, "You want to poach Hu Xiaohua from my sister-inw? Xiaoqiao, that''s not right, is it?"


    "No, I was just joking. Why would you think that?" Yu Xiaoqiao said with a smile, seeing that Xiong Dapao was a bit angry.


    Xiong Dapao said, "Although poaching people in the business world ismon, Yan Zhao and I are brothers who have been through life and death. We can''t poach people from my sister-inw, okay?"


    "Okay," Yu Xiaoqiao obediently replied.


    A woman who has left her past behind must find a reliable man.


    Xiong Dapao had initially seemed quite reliable, but now, Yu Xiaoqiao was slowly realizing that he wasn''t so naive. He was quite smart, just having spent too long in the army, which made him straightforward in nature.


    A man being too smart wasn''t necessarily a good thing for a woman like her.


    Yu Xiaoqiao let out a soft sigh and said, "Take me home."


    They hadn''t moved in together yet, and Xiong Dapao hadn''t even kissed Yu Xiaoqiao.


    A gentleman sits unmoved, and with a turn of the steering wheel, Xiong Dapao took Yu Xiaoqiao back to her own home.


    Leaving them aside, on the other side, Yan Zhao was driving, with Chen Men in the passenger seat. The three children had nevere home sote before and were already asleep in the back seat.


    As he drove, Yan Zhao suddenly said, "That Yu Xiaoqiao is quite a clever woman."


    "What do you mean?" Chen Men asked.


    Although they had been seated at the same table, Yu Xiaoqiao and Yan Zhao hadn''t sat together, and Chen Men hadn''t seen them talk. Could it be that when she left the room, they had talked about something?


    Yan Zhao extended one hand and said, "She said that this hand of mine should have been burned by a misfiring gun, that it was injured, and that it hurts when it touches cold water. She also mentioned knowing an old Chinese medicine doctor with a very good remedy for rheumatism, which, when used as a hand cream for a period of time, could cure this problem."


    Seeing that Chen Men didn''t speak, Yan Zhao added, "I do have that problem."


    This man was always a workhorse at home, enduring hardships and neverining. If you looked closely at his right hand, the skin was indeed somewhat mottled, a burn from a misfiring gun. Although it had healed, it still bothered him on rainy days, causing a dull pain that even affected his shooting uracy on such days.


    That''s why Yu Xiaoqiao, who seemed gentle and definitely not the type to throw herself at men, could still manage to sleep with leaders.


    Chen Men treated Yan Zhao like a working machine, never caring about his health.


    In her eyes, Yan Zhao was made of steel and bronze.


    But Yu Xiaoqiao, after just one meeting, would care about Yan Zhao''s health.


    That kind of subtle care, which man wouldn''t be moved by it?


    But she wasn''t just gentle and caring towards Yan Zhao; she treated any man with money and power the same way. Casting a wide, she would always catch a big fish who would take her as a confidante.


    This was another way of doing business, and it was precisely why she would be so sessful in the future.


    Yan Zhao still extended that hand, making it clear that he had openly told Chen Men about this matter, and it was indeed a problem for him. He wanted Chen Men to ask Yu Xiaoqiao for some medicine on his behalf.


    If Chen Men from her previous life were here, facing a man like Lv Jingyu or Yan Xishan, she would have been angry by now. Men were all the same in her eyes; there were no men who would never cheat. Those who hadn''t cheated were just not good enough to encounter temptation.


    Of course, back then, she had no career, no job, no love for her children, and had to rely on men even if she didn''t want to.


    Now it was different. She had a career, a job, and loved her children. She waspletely indifferent to men, so instead of being angry, she even smiled and asked Yan Zhao, "How did I do at work today?"


    Yan Zhao, who had been extending his hand, slowly raised his thumb.


    He had never expected that not only could Chen Men handle clients, but just staying behind the scenes, she could achieve sales of 700,000 yuan. Hu Xiaohua was just an assistant. The retired soldiers were obedient, but Chen Men''s efficient coordination was the key to her managing the entire enterprise as smoothly as silk.


    "In a few days, you''ll be able to find out who that bureau-level official is, right?" Chen Men asked again.


    Yan Zhao nodded again and withdrew his hand. This time, he didn''t speak.


    This is how it was.


    Today, Yu Xiaoqiao, because of Hu Xiaohua''s strong interpersonal skills, took a liking to him and wanted to poach him.


    But it was clear that Hu Xiaohua was extremely loyal to Chen Men, so she wanted to know the reason.


    Chen Men honestly told her that it was because she had saved Hu Xiaohua from the bureau that he was loyal to her.


    Yu Xiaoqiao had a bureau-level official as her lover, with whom she had a single-line contact. No one else knew about their rtionship. Nowadays, with two pagers and public phones everywhere, such a secret physical rtionship was very difficult to uncover.


    But as long as Yu Xiaoqiao wanted to use Hu Xiaohua, she would definitely ask that leader to have Hu Xiaohua arrested and then use her own connections to get him out of the bureau.


    In and out, it would be another favor.


    Hu Xiaohua was currently in a military factory, watched over by a group of retired soldiers, like a mosquito surrounded by machine guns. He wouldn''t dare tomit crimes again. There was no reason to arrest him.


    But he had a long history of crimes. They could use his past to make a case against him.


    All of Hu Xiaohua''s prior criminal records and case files were kept at the Jindong Branch Bureau.


    After Yu Xiaoqiao met with that official, if he wanted to deal with Hu Xiaohua, he would definitely need to call Yan Zhao to ess Hu Xiaohua''s records.


    So from now on, Yan Zhao could simply wait and see who would take the bait.


    Whichever official called him asking for Hu Xiaohua''s records would undoubtedly be Yu Xiaoqiao''s lover.


    From Zhang Chao to Deputy Director Zheng, Yan Zhao mentally went through the list of bureau leaders, wondering who it could be.Aliali: 6744814f3f33ac44271f6


    This person not only engaged in a money-for-power deal with Yu Xiaoqiao to help her acquire Plot 291, but had also been blocking Yan Zhao''s promotion all along, keeping him trapped at the Jindong Branch Bureau with no chance of advancement.


    ...


    After returning home, Yan Zhao carried each of the children one by one back to the heated brick bed, and only after settling them did he return to his bedroom to sleep.


    Chen Men had been working non-stop recently and was particrly busy. She had also just finished her period. Although she was quite eager to be intimate, Yan Zhao could tell she was exhausted, so he gently pushed her away and got himself a separate nket.


    But suddenly, he heard Chen Men say: "That time when Yan Xishan fell for the honey trap, it onlysted ten minutes at most."


    As an old married couple, Chen Men was no longer the shy young bride who would blush at any mention of intimacy. She said this very naturally, without any trace of embarrassment.


    But the muscles in Yan Zhao''s chest suddenly tensed up. He lifted the covers and moved closer, breathing heavily.


    He stared at Chen Men coldly.


    "Do men be less capable when they get older? I''ve noticedtely you''ve also..."


    Before Chen Men could finish her sentence, Yan Zhao, breathing heavily, silenced her with a kiss.
