Cui Peng stuck his head out of the car window and sized up Kong Zhao’s expression from afar. The smile on his face disappeared slightly as he turned to look at Cheng Fang. “Boss, I feel that Miss Kong’s expression isn’t right!”

Cheng Fang looked up. At this moment, he could only see the woman’s back view in the car. “Get out of the car and take a taxi back to the company.”

As he spoke, he opened the car door and walked to the driver’s seat. Cui Peng immediately got out.

Kong Zhao didn’t expect to be tricked by the Kong family, but at this moment, she was indeed helpless. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and walked forward.

“Kong Rong…”

“Kong Rong!”

The man’s voice was getting louder and louder. Kong Zhao suddenly realized that he was calling her. She turned to look at the source of the voice. It was indeed Cheng Fang.

Kong Zhao looked at the man in the car in surprise. “Don’t you have to work today?”

Cheng Fang lied without batting an eye. “I just sent my boss to the company. My boss said that he would give me a few days of leave. I have nothing to do now. Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”

At this moment, Kong Zhao didn’t know where to go. She thought about it and rejected, “I just went out for a walk. Go ahead and get busy. Don’t delay your work for me.”

Cheng Fang didn’t expose the fact that Kong Zhao had just come out of the Kong family’s home. He only insisted, “Get in the car.”

This road was a four-way lane. At this moment, there were a lot of cars behind. When they saw Cheng Fang stopping in the lane, they started honking.

Cheng Fang, who was in the car, still looked at Kong Zhao calmly, as if he wouldn’t leave unless she got into the car.

More and more honks sounded. Seeing Cheng Fang’s smile, Kong Zhao could only sit in the front passenger seat helplessly.

After Kong Zhao got into the car, she turned to look at Cheng Fang with a frown and said, “If you’re using this car for private use, be careful that your boss will get mad if he finds out.”

Cheng Fang looked ahead and smiled. “What, are you worried that I’ll be fired? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you starve.”

When Kong Zhao heard the word husband, her fair face instantly turned red. She couldn’t help but retort, “Who’s worried about you?!”

From the corner of his eye, Cheng Fang saw that Kong Zhao’s ears had turned pale pink. He smiled. “Is there anywhere you want to go now?”

Kong Zhao wasn’t in the mood to play. When she thought about how Mrs. Li was still waiting for money for the surgery, her expression darkened.

Cheng Fang glanced at Kong Zhao’s expression and felt that it was a little strange. Not only did she return to her family’s home alone on the second day of their marriage, but her mood also became worse after she left her family’s house.

However, the two of them were only married in name. Not to mention that they had no relationship foundation, they had only met for the first time on the day of their marriage. Cheng Fang knew his limits and didn’t take the initiative to ask Kong Zhao why she was in a bad mood.

Cheng Fang looked at the time and said, “It’s noon. I’ll take you out to eat.”

Kong Zhao came back to her senses. Now, she only wanted to save as much money as possible. “It’s so expensive to eat outside. I’ll cook at home.”

Cheng Fang thought of the millet porridge he had this morning and his expression softened. “Then let’s go to the supermarket to buy groceries first. The house has just been prepared and there are many furniture that have yet to be added.”

Kong Zhao thought of the empty one-bedroom apartment and frowned as she nodded vigorously.

Kong Zhao knew that Cheng Fang was an illegitimate child and wasn’t favored, but she didn’t expect that the Cheng family, which was rich and powerful, couldn’t even be bothered to give him anything. Thinking about it, she and Cheng Fang were really in the same boat. For a moment, she suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

The two of them chose a large supermarket near their house and started shopping.

Cheng Fang watched Kong Zhao as she shopped and felt that the girl in front of him seemed more and more interesting. How many rich girls would look at the price first when buying things?

Putting aside the public’s evaluation of Kong Rong’s private life, Cheng Fang had also heard that at a charity auction, because a rich family’s daughter had accidentally dirtied her dress that day, after knowing that a painter’s work that the other party liked very much was auctioned that day, the two of them deliberately auctioned it off. The two of them auctioned a painting that was only worth 100,000 yuan for 1,050,000 yuan. In the end, Kong Rong won it at more than 10 times the price.

It was difficult to relate such a petty, vengeful, and extravagant person with Kong Zhao, who was in the sales area and comparing items to see which tissue brand was cheaper.
