As soon as Kong Zhao was freed, she immediately carried the dishes out of the kitchen while turning around to retort. “You’re the rabbit! Your entire family are rabbits.”

Cheng Fang took the bowl and chopsticks that were filled with rice and walked to the sofa. He teased Kong Zhao. “Doesn’t my entire family include you? Aren’t you a rabbit then?”

Kong Zhao couldn’t outargue him, so she glared at Cheng Fang angrily and sat on the sofa to eat.

Cheng Fang changed the topic. “These flowers are quite beautiful.”

As Kong Zhao ate, she looked up and said, “An old lady with slop legs sold it at the entrance of the market. I saw that she seemed pitiful, so I bought them at a cheap price.”

Cheng Fang glanced at Kong Zhao with gentleness in his eyes.

Cheng Fang realized that not only was Kong Zhao shy, but she was also kind. It seemed that every time he interacted with her, she would always give him some new discovery that made her seem different from how Kong Rong was rumored to be like.

After dinner, Cheng Fang took the initiative to ask about today’s interview. Although he already knew, he still wanted to hear it from Kong Zhao.

Kong Zhao immediately described the incident today and emphasized that she had the opportunity to be interviewed tomorrow.

Cheng Fang listened patiently with a smile and even asked a few questions from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

…

On the morning of the interview, Cheng Fang gave Kong Zhao another lucky candy before leaving.

Kong Zhao’s interview went very smoothly. As expected, when he was visiting Mrs. Li in the hospital that afternoon, she received a call that she had passed the interview. The person asked Kong Zhao to start work at nine o’clock tomorrow. There was a three-day trial period. After that, she would become an official employee.

When Kong Zhao returned home, it was exactly seven o’clock. When she arrived home with Cheng Fang, Kong Zhao shared the good news that they had passed the interview with Cheng Fang.

Cooking was to save money. Kong Zhao even cooked a little more for this reason. She planned to eat the leftovers as lunch the next day. When Cheng Fang saw this, he also asked for some.

Only then did Kong Zhao remember that they had been married for a few days but she still didn’t know what her husband did, so she asked curiously.

Cheng Fang’s pupils dilated as he said slowly, “I do everything. I do whatever earns me money.”

Kong Zhao thought of how Sheng Rou and Kong Rong had said that Cheng Fang was a hooligan before they got married, so she asked carefully, “You didn’t do anything illegal, right?”

Cheng Fang stopped eating when he heard this. However, he knew that in the eyes of others, he was like an unemployed hooligan who caused trouble all day long.

He didn’t answer directly but asked, “What do you think?”

Kong Zhao looked at Cheng Fang and frowned.

Although the two of them had only known each other for a few days, her intuition told her that Cheng Fang wasn’t the kind of hooligan who would do something illegal like gambling and drugs.

However, there were many types of hooligans. Even if he wasn’t involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs, it was still dangerous to help them. To put it nicely, he was a bodyguard, but if he worked for big shots in the underworld, he would definitely do more than just be a bodyguard.

Kong Zhao looked at Cheng Fang’s firm and powerful arm and said earnestly, “Are you helping others? What if you meet someone stronger than you one day? You should find a proper job.”

Cheng Fang didn’t expect Kong Zhao to think of this, so he teased her again. “Only a proper job can earn you a lot of money.”

When Kong Zhao heard this, she had the intention to lead Cheng Fang on the right path. She said patiently, “Only then will you be at ease with the money you earned. Find something that gives you a future and a stable income. As time passes and you have more experience, your salary will naturally increase. Besides, it’s fine even if the salary is low. The two of us are just a nominal couple. I don’t need you to support me. You can just earn money for yourself.”

Cheng Fang felt that Kong Zhao’s words of concern were very pleasing to hear, but when he heard the second half, his expression darkened.

Kong Zhao didn’t notice Cheng Fang’s expression and continued to eat as she said, “Besides, if you follow people from the underworld, who knows when you’ll get killed or captured? I just graduated from university. I don’t have money or connections. How can I bail you out?!”

When Cheng Fang heard this, his expression gradually softened and he smiled. “Don’t worry, that day won’t come.”

Everyone said that husband and wife were birds of the same forest, but when disaster struck, they would fly separately.

Cheng Fang felt especially pleased that she thought of him in that sort of situation.
