Li Kai I didn't expect to bring this up, my face turned green.
3.
His stiff face said with a forced smile, "The girl has nowhere to go at noon, she can chat with you. Don't make such a fuss over something so trivial. All my salary goes to you; it's just adding one more person for lunch."
Li Kai has a real talent for turning big issues into small ones and small ones into nothing, but I'm not that easy to fool.
I clearly told him that I wouldn't be serving his little girlfriend; he needed to take care of himself, buy groceries, and cook for himself.
From then on, when they were together, I would give up my seat and make sure he was completely satisfied.
Li Kai had a dark expression and didn't say a word.
After that, the girl never came to our home again.
I got along peacefully with Li Kai for a month, and I also landed my first deal in the Headhunter industry.
The weight of this deal gave me confidence in my career, and I no longer feared Li Kai wanting to separate from me.
This month, Li Kai still provided the children's living expenses, but it was half of what it was last month.
I looked at him in surprise, and Li Kai said I could go out to work now; he would take care of the children's share from now on.
What you worry about often comes true, and without any preparation at all.
My heart sank for a moment. Li Kai didn't look at me again and returned to his room.
I walked to the door of his room and heard him on the phone.
"I didn't give her much money. Who told her to give you that attitude? Yes, yes, yes, we'll eat out from now on. In a few days, I'll have her leave."
I clenched my fists, feeling cold all over, and a new plan formed in my mind.
I found my best friend.
She laughed when she heard my plan.
In the following days, Li Kai left early and returned late. Many times, the kids were already asleep by the time I finished my work as a Headhunter and he got home.
When he saw that I wasn't looking for a job, he sneered and then said nothing more before going back to his room.
I remained indifferent to his indifference.
The opportunity soon came. One day, Li Kai took a day off and stayed home all day.
In the evening, I prepared meals for the kids and myself while he made himself a bowl of instant noodles, sitting pitifully across from me.
Seeing him hesitate to speak made me want to laugh.
After sending the kids to do their homework, I cleared the dishes and asked him if something was bothering him.
Li Kai held back for a moment and said, "What else could there be? I've been exhausted these past few days."
I knew he was being stubborn and wouldn't admit the truth, so I didn't call him out on it and just listened as he asked, "How's the job search going? There's a marketing position open at a supermarket. You might lack some experience, but the owner has a good relationship with me and can introduce you. That way, I can relax a bit too."
As I listened to him, I understood that Li Kai wanted me to stop relying on his money since he would have many other expenses in the future.
I replied, "You're right about everything. I have my own career plans; I still intend to work in recruitment."
Li Kai snorted dismissively. "Recruitment is for young girls. How old are you? You need to have some self-awareness."
His words annoyed me, so I tidied up the kitchen and returned to my room.
This time, I received even better news—I had landed a major deal.
I called Headhunter Boss, who repeatedly assured me that as soon as the payment came through, they would transfer the funds immediately. I would receive ninety percent after taxes.
My heart gradually settled down.
I stepped out of my room and saw Li Kai smoking on the balcony. Amidst the swirling smoke, he threw his phone away.
When he noticed me standing in front of him, Li Kai looked surprised, picked up his phone, and went back to his room.
That evening, Li Kai kindly offered to help wash the vegetables, saying that he had been under a lot of pressure lately due to his high expenses and felt he hadn't taken good care of me.
I told myself not to take it to heart; he would definitely work hard to earn money and improve the quality of life for his family.
I was not surprised by the sudden change in Li Kai, as I had asked my best friend to send her most attractive model from her agency to flirt with Li Kai's girlfriend, Wang Mei.
Before long, that girl stopped paying attention to Li Kai, the older man.
And tonight, my friend had arranged for the model to decisively abandon that girl.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after the kids finished their homework and were ready to listen to my story, Li Kai received a phone call and hurriedly tidied up to go out.
I knew it was Wang Mei, but I said nothing and let Li Kai face it himself.
When he saw me and the kids at the door while he was smoking in the hallway, Li Kai sensibly extinguished his cigarette.
"Are you going out this late?" I asked. Li Kai lowered his head shyly, his eyes showing a hint of cracked pain. He finally took off his shoes and stood at the door looking somewhat forlorn.
"I'm not going out anymore; it has nothing to do with me now." It seemed like he was bidding farewell to the past. My eldest son ran over and hugged Li Kai's leg, insisting that he tell a story. Seeing the innocent look on the little guy's face, Li Kai picked him up.
Half a month later, Li Kai entered my house once again.
I had been in a cold war with Li Kai for half a month, and it ended with his breakup with his girlfriend.
