"Stop trying to persuade me."

Xu Dong shook his head, "It's good for me to accompany Lu Lu like this now. I don't need to look at other people's faces anymore. Marriage is not a matter between two people. I don't want to wrong myself anymore because I have to curry favor with anyone."

She was really scared. When she married Lin Hao and faced the family members behind him, she was really peeled off several layers of her skin. In addition to the domestic violence Lin Hao treated her, she almost died.

"Xu Dong, you don't have to rush to reject me, just give me an observation period, okay?"

He Hong said very sincerely, "These two people from the law firm can testify that if I do you any harm, I will compensate you with all my wealth."

"I can't afford to bet."

Xu Dong shook his head, "I don't want any compensation. Money is not as important as life to me."

A man's heart is unfathomable.

When she fell in love with Lin Hao, she didn't know he would be violent, and it wasn't until their wedding night that he revealed his true colors.

"Xu Dong..."

He Hong was about to speak, but Xu Dong stopped him and continued, "If you are just here to celebrate Lu Lu's birthday, I welcome you. But if you continue to talk about these irrelevant topics, please leave."

"Xu Dong, don't be so cold."

Wu Li's hand pulled Xu Dong's sleeve under the dining table and whispered, "At least maintain a good relationship first."

"I have decided to resign, how can I maintain a good relationship?"

Xu Dong smiled bitterly. She was self-aware. Putting aside Lin Hao's matter, she had a son and was not suitable for remarrying.

Who is willing to raise a son for someone else?

He Hong frowned, "I didn't approve it, why did you resign?"

"Mili has already targeted me so much. If I stay, the relationship with her will only become more and more tense. There is no need."

Xu Dong looked at He Hong, "Mr. He, there is no need for you to stand up for me. I don't want to cause more rumors."

"Isn't this job worth remembering for you?"

He Hong stared straight at Xu Dong, "You have been injured and recuperating for so long, I thought you could be touched by what I did for you."

"I'm quite touched."

Xu Dong nodded, not denying it, "But being moved doesn't mean I will have feelings for you, right?"

"Xu Dong, don't resign, I won't pester you. As for mili, I have long planned to fire her."

He Hong begged Xu Dong, "I know you are under little financial pressure now and your need for work is not particularly strong. But since you have entered the workplace, wouldn't it be a pity to quit without fighting for a while?"

Xu Dong hesitated. Mili said that as a single mother, she couldn't do well in the workplace. Did she really want to accept her fate?

Although she does not have any lofty ambitions, she was a stay-at-home mother for many years before entering the workplace just to support Xu Lu.

"Xu Dong, just give yourself a chance."

Wu Li also helped persuade Xu Dong, "Xu Lu is growing up step by step, and you should also grow up with him and set an example for him."

"All right."

Xu Dong finally agreed and looked at He Hong, "I don't have to resign, but please don't give me any privileges in the company. I don't want my colleagues to think that I rely on connections to get to the top."

"OK."

He Hong took a step back and at least let Xu Dong stay in the company first.

Let’s talk about what happens between the two of them later. He hasn’t moved her heart now, but he will one day.

Wu Li smiled and greeted everyone, "Eat quickly, there will be cake to eat later."

Xu Dong didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong. In short, she didn't want to be looked down upon by mili.

After dinner, Wu Li went to get the cake from the refrigerator, put it on the dining table, inserted a number candle, and said to Xu Lu, "When you are 6 years old, I will insert the number 6, and next year I will insert the number 7."

"Auntie, will you also celebrate my birthday with me next year?"

Xu Lu looked at Wu Li, who smiled and nodded, "Of course. I will spend your birthday with you every year."

"Thank you, auntie."

Xu Lu was very happy, looking at the little superman on the cake, "I will also be a superman in the future and protect my mother."

"Come, let's sing happy birthday."

Wu Li started, clapped her hands and sang, "Happy birthday to you..."

Xu Dong clapped his hands and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xu Lu's happy look.

This is the first time Xu Lu has officially celebrated his birthday since he was born. Lin Hao had never celebrated his birthday before.

Every time Xu Lu celebrated his birthday, she would cook poached egg noodles for him.

Birthdays can be celebrated, but the sense of ceremony cannot be eliminated. Xu Lu was also very happy to be able to eat birthday noodles.

"Come on, let's make a wish and blow out the candle."

Wu Li signaled Xu Lu to close his eyes. He closed his eyes obediently, silently made a wish, and then blew out the candle.

"I'll cut the cake."

Xu Dong cut the cake into pieces, put them into paper trays one by one, and asked Xu Lu to share them with everyone.

"Lulu, this is your birthday gift from your uncle."

He Hong gave the limited edition Lego to Xu Lu. Xu Lu did not reach out to take it, but looked at Xu Dong.

"We are just ordinary people with ordinary toys. We cannot afford such high-end toys."

Xu Dong refused He Hong's gift. She didn't want Xu Lu to be unstable after being exposed to such high-end toys.

"It's just a toy."

He Hong looked helpless, "I bought everything and I can't return it."

"This is your business."

Xu Dong didn't want He Hong to think that she took advantage of others, "Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday with me today. It's getting late, you all should go back. I still have to clean up."

Seeing that she had given the eviction order, several people stood up and left.

After sending everyone outside, Xu Dong closed the door and started doing hygiene.

Xu Lu helped pick up the garbage and tied the garbage bags.

"Lulu, you go take a shower first, you have to go to school tomorrow."

Xu Dong called Xu Lu, and he obediently said "OK" and went into the room to get his pajamas.

After she finished tidying up, Xu Lu also came out after taking a shower.

"Mom, go take a bath quickly."

"good."

Xu Dong went into the bathroom and saw Xu Lu writing "Mom, I love you" on the steamy mirror, and she burst into tears.

Xu Lu's sensibleness made her very happy.

Liu Kai drove Wu Li back to the apartment. She hung her bag on the shelf and sat on the sofa, paralyzed and unwilling to move.

"very tired?"

"I'm full. Xu Dong's cooking skills are so good."

Wu Li stroked her belly and said, "I really ate a lot tonight. They are all my favorites. Compared to Xu Dong, your cooking skills are very inferior."

"I feel so sad to be rejected."

Liu Kai covered his heart and looked sad.

"Hate."

Wu Li grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Liu Kai, "To be honest, He Hong's conditions are good, but Xu Dong was hurt so badly by Lin Hao that he didn't dare to talk about relationships anymore."

She knew what Xu Dong was afraid of, but not all men were as bad as Lin Hao.
