Deserted Wife's Extraordinary Life

1Sure enough, it was good to have someone as a companion. Even the unfortunate matter of climbing the safety ladder felt lighter.    

    

After sending Kang Ying to her room, Shi Jiangyuan went back. Because there were too many eyes in the house, if he stayed too late, everyone would have all sorts of guesses. He was afraid that it would be bad for Kang Ying's reputation, so he quickly left.    

    

Kang Ying entered the room and was just about to take a hot bath, but there was no water in the bathroom, so she had to go to bed.    

    

It was a truly new year's eve, filled with mixed feelings. It was not as simple as Kang Ying had imagined, but it was filled with the aura of life.    

    

The next day, when Kang Ying woke up, she turned on the tap and found that there was still no water. She got angry and was about to call the front desk to ask what was going on.    

    

However, just as she was about to leave the bathroom, she turned on the faucet again with a luckier thought. The hot water came.    

    

At last, she could take a comfortable bath. She cleaned herself up and came out of the bathroom to wipe her hair. She turned on the TV and heard the news talking about this.    

    

It turned out that the temperature in this area had dropped to -10 degrees Celsius due to the sudden snowfall. The pipe had been frozen and cracked. No wonder there was no water. Fortunately, the workers in the city had to work overtime yesterday to ensure everyone's water supply on the first day of the new year.    

    

Kang Ying now expressed her understanding. No wonder there was suddenly no water, it seemed that the beautiful scenery would also cause people's lives many inconvenience.    

    

Kang Ying dried her hair and put on a light makeup before heading to the restaurant for breakfast.    

    

It was impossible for Shi Jiangyuan to come over for breakfast with his family this morning, and Kang Ying didn't want to make everyone feel attached to Shi Jiangyuan from beginning to end, so she went to the restaurant alone.    

    

One could imagine that there weren't many guests staying at this special time of the day, and in the restaurant, there were only a few customers eating breakfast.    

    

No one would spend the new year outside during this reunion of thousands of families. Kang Ying, who was used to living alone in her previous life, did not feel lonely or uncomfortable. However, her appearance attracted the attention of the few customers in the restaurant.    

    

One of them, a man in his early thirties, had a crew cut and a clean-shaven face. He was wearing a fashionable black leather jacket, jeans, and brown boots on both sides of his head.    

    

When he saw Kang Ying, his eyes flickered. He walked to Kang Ying's table with the plate in hand and asked politely,    

    

"Nihao, miss, is there anyone here?" Can I sit here sometimes? "    

    

Kang Ying looked up and saw that the rest of the restaurant was empty and the seats were all over the place. Her seat wasn't the best, so why did this man insist on sitting here?    

    

However, this was a public place. Since there was a vacant seat, Kang Ying had no right to refuse. She replied flatly, "Sure."    

    

"Crab! Crab!" The man sat down, took a sip of his milk, and dabbed the froth from his mouth with the napkin on the table.    

    

Kang Ying guessed that he was going to answer her. Sure enough, the man put down his napkin and asked Kang Ying in a cordial tone,    

    

"Why didn't Miss go back for the new year? She's not a local, is she?"    

    

Kang Ying had no intention of interacting with him. She only smiled and nodded, saying, "An outsider."    

    

"From the sound of your accent, you must be from the south. I'm a customer from Hong Kong. I just happened to come here to discuss a project and was delayed here for the new year."    

    

The man revealed his identity, thinking that Kang Ying would be moved.    

    

Now that the status of a Hong Kong businessman was like a golden signboard, he did not believe that this mainland woman would not be tempted.    

    

His dressing and talking had attracted so many Chinese girls to throw themselves into his arms. Honestly speaking, Xu Kai really didn't want to go back home anymore.    

    

The women here were all very gullible. Upon hearing that he was a Hong Kong businessman, not only did they give him good food and drinks, but they also all wanted to date him and say that they wanted to marry him and go to the Hong Kong that they yearned for.    

    

No matter what kind of girl it was, aloof, enthusiastic, or beautiful, as long as he revealed his identity as a Hong Kong merchant, all the girls' eyes lit up and they could easily take the bait on their own accord.    

    

Xu Kai didn't expect that the woman in front of him didn't even lift her eyelid. She only smiled slightly as if she wasn't interested in his topic.    

    

He didn't expect that Kang Ying would pique Xu Kai's interest. It seemed that he had used the wrong strategy. A woman who could live in such a high-end hotel and travel solitarily should be one of the best in the Mainland.    

    

Thinking about this, Xu Kai's heart surged with a strong desire for conquest. Kang Ying's silent refusal gave him a challenge that he had never felt before in the mainland.    

    

He raised his eyes and once again examined the woman in front of him. Her skin was as white and tender as tofu that had just come out of a pot, and on her small and exquisite earlobes, there were two diamond earrings inlaid on each side. She appeared to be very low-key, her wavy hair was like ink covering her shoulders, and she wore a woolen coat.    

    

Xu Kai thought to himself, I actually made a mistake. I didn't see the other party's true appearance, so I used an arrogant attitude towards her. No wonder he ignored me.    

    

Xu Kai thought for a bit and changed his tone. He smiled and said, "This lady here, my surname is Xu and I have a name of Kai. May I know your name? Can you tell me a little? "    

    

Kang Ying felt that there was no need to be frivolous on the first day of the new year, so she said lightly, "Hello, my name is Kang Ying."    

    

"Miss Kang, good name. Why didn't you go home for the new year?"    

    

Xu Kai started a patient conversation strategy to win Kang Ying's favor.    

    

"Because without family, it's the same no matter where you go." Kang Ying's honest reply made Xu Kai's heart tighten. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.    

    

But Xu Kai was a veteran among the flowers. He thought this woman was indestructible, with her fairy-like features, delicate makeup, and noble appearance. His usual handsome appearance, flowery speech, and the status of a Hong Kong businessman were all useless to him.    

    

Xu Kai was looking for an opening. When he heard Kang Ying say that she had no family, he immediately came up with an idea. It was best to be a warm-hearted man at this time.    

    

Therefore, Xu Kai revealed a concerned expression and said, "Sorry, I was wrong. I asked for your sore point."    

    

"It's alright, I'm already used to it."    

    

Kang Ying's reply made Xu Kai at a loss for words. For Xu Kai, an experienced gardener, this was something he had never seen before.    

    

However, the more Xu Kai was defeated, the more brave he became, which actually increased his desire for Kang Ying's conquest. In any case, it was already the new year and he didn't have a target to pursue her with.
