I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Even His Taste in Ex-Girlfriends Wasn’t Good

Yuan Xi went to check on the two babies after her shower.

Both babies were asleep, so Yuan Xi didn’t disturb them too much, afraid to affect their sleep.

When Yuan Xi returned to the master bedroom, Huo Shiyuan expressed his guilt, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t realize that today was Valentine’s Day. How about I make it up to you tomorrow?”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “Sure.”

She and Huo Shiyuan had skipped the dating phase and went straight to marriage. They hadn’t even had a proper date that normal couples experience.

The two of them had watched countless movies in their home theater, but the last movie they had seen at a cinema was the “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” film.

It was a memory from a long time ago.

Huo Shiyuan started looking at movie tickets on his phone, “Do you want to see the movie ‘I Still Love You’?”

Yuan Xi shook her head, “No, I watched it today with Suisui. It’s a terrible film. In the movie, during the wedding, the female lead reminisces about their high school romance, and in the end, the male lead runs away from his wedding to elope with her. I just saw the director and the leading actor explaining that the reason the male lead ran away was that the second female lead was in no way a match for him… If they knew she wasn’t a good match, why hold a wedding at all?”

Yuan Xi still felt angry when she thought about the plot.

Huo Shiyuan said, “Let’s watch a different movie then.”

Yuan Xi replied, “Okay.”

…

At one o’clock in the morning.

In the VIP box of the cinema, there were only Ren Tian and Fu Yixian, along with a few bodyguards.

As the credits rolled, Fu Yixian asked Ren Tian, “The movie is over, can we go now?”

Ren Tian nodded, “Yes, I had a great time today, thank you.”

Ren Tian really didn’t expect that Fu Yixian, who had just recovered from a serious illness, would accompany her to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Even Yuan Xi could only spend Valentine’s Day out with her best friend today.

She had always thought that Fu Yixian would despise her after waking up since even she despised her own background.

Especially since, when Fu Yixian was unconscious, Ren Tian was well aware of his family’s opinions about her, thinking she wasn’t worthy of him…

Today, Fu Yixian accompanied her to have hotpot and watch a movie. Although he seemed unwilling, he still spent the holiday with her.

Fu Yixian said to Ren Tian, “Let’s go.”

Ren Tian followed Fu Yixian into the car and they returned to the Fu Mansion.

At the entrance of the Fu Mansion, Ren Tian saw a huge Mercedes G-Class and a short-haired, handsome woman exuding a professional vibe leaning against it.

Fu Yixian said to Ren Tian, “Go inside first.”

Fu Yixian got out of the car and walked over to Mi Yi.

Mi Yi glanced at Ren Tian in the car, who was wearing a Chanel pink wool dress outfit, and approached the car confidently, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m here to see Fu Yixian for some work-related matters. Yixian has already chosen you, and I won’t pester him.”

Ren Tian simply responded, “Oh.”

Fu Yixian asked Mi Yi, “You wanted to see me about something?”

Mi Yi said, “I invested in a movie that just premiered today, but the number of screenings is dropping tomorrow. I want to ask you for a favor, to increase the number of screenings for my movie.”

Fu Yixian obliged, “Which movie?”

Mi Yi replied calmly, “‘I Still Love You’.”

Fu Yixian nodded, “Okay.”

Mi Yi looked at Ren Tian in the car and said, “Yixian, I’m not someone who clings on persistently. You chose the child, and as your girlfriend, I’m willing to accept the breakup.

But as a friend, I still have to remind you that Ren Tian only has a junior high diploma, she lacks ability, and she even once considered getting rich by staging a car accident to find a wealthy second-generation to climb the social ladder. She really isn’t suitable to be your wife…”

Fu Yixian said, “She’s pregnant.”

“I know about the agreement between you and your mother, that after she gives birth, she will get two billion.”

Mi Yi continued, “You could continue with that agreement instead of…”

Fu Yixian, “I only hope my child can grow up in a wholesome environment with both parents.”

Mi Yi: “A girl with such low education, born into a family of ignorance, who entered society early to despise the poor and adore the rich by selling her womb, do you think she can teach your child well?”

Fu Yixian frowned slightly.

Seeing Fu Yixian turning to leave, Mi Yi frowned and said, “The thing I regret most in my life is dating you. My ex-boyfriend ended up marrying a woman with low education who only knows how to cling to men. It’s a complete insult to my taste!”

After saying this, Mi Yi got into the car angrily.

Ren Tian, who had always been afraid to speak her mind in the Fu Family, hearing Mi Yi’s voice, said to Fu Yixian after he got in the car, “Your taste in ex-girlfriends isn’t good either.”

Fu Yixian frowned and looked at Ren Tian.

Ren Tian pouted and shut her mouth.

“You should continue your education.”

“Ah?” Ren Tian was taken aback.

Fu Yixian said, “You’re still young; it’s not too late to start studying again. Indeed, I don’t want the future mother of my children to only have a middle school education.”

Ren Tian: “…”

Fu Yixian: “Prepare for the IELTS during your pregnancy, and I’ll arrange for you to study abroad at a prestigious university.”

Ren Tian frowned, “What about my child when I go to study abroad?”

Fu Yixian, “You’ll have a nanny to take care of them. During the holidays, you can fly back home to look after the two kids.”

Ren Tian said softly, “Can I refuse?”

“You cannot.”

Fu Yixian said in a cold voice.

Ren Tian: “…”

On Saturday morning, a drizzling rain began to fall.

Water droplets formed on the glass windows.

When Yuan Xi woke up and saw the gloomy rainy day outside, she said to Huo Shiyuan, “Today’s weather doesn’t seem to be suitable for a date. It’s also hard to drive in this foggy weather, so why not stay at home? It’s rare to have a break and to spend more time with Lele and An An.”

Huo Shiyuan, “But I still owe you a Valentine’s Day.”

Yuan Xi: “If you really feel like you owe me, cook me a bowl of green vegetable rice cake soup. You used to like it too when you were little, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve had it.”

Huo Shiyuan: “Okay.”

The bowl of food Yuan Xi wanted was extremely simple to make, but it posed a challenge for Huo Shiyuan, who had never set foot in the kitchen.

Yuan Xi, seeing Huo Shiyuan not even knowing how to light the stove, laughed lightly: “They say studying abroad forces you to unearth your cooking talents.”

Huo Shiyuan: “When I was abroad, my grandmother hired for me dozens of chefs from the eight major Chinese cuisines…”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly; indeed, as the Crown Prince of the Shiyi Group, there was no need for him to cook himself.

Although it was Huo Shiyuan’s first time in the kitchen, he still managed to get the gist of it. The dish Yuan Xi wanted wasn’t hard to prepare; you chop the green vegetables and rice cake, throw them in the pot to boil, and that’s it.

Huo Shiyuan asked from the side, “Is that all I need to do?”

Yuan Xi nodded: “Yes, when it boils, just add some salt and chicken essence before serving.”

“How much?”

Yuan Xi: “Just eyeball it, a spoonful of salt and three spoonfuls of chicken essence should be about right…”

Huo Shiyuan pulled out his phone and checked a recipe. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Yuan Xi, but that she herself couldn’t cook at all.

After checking the recipe’s measurements for salt, Huo Shiyuan asked the maid for a kitchen scale and weighed the required grams of salt on it.

Yuan Xi captured the boiling green vegetables and rice cake soup in the pot and also the meticulous scene of Huo Shiyuan measuring salt. She posted a photo with visible friend groups on social media.

“Making a simple breakfast.”

Gu Hanchen was once again the first to comment: “??? Valentine’s Day is already over, no more showing off your love!”
