Chapter 126 I want to spend the money I earn on you

"I can't have that."

She pushed and pushed, even pushing the cloth bag to the edge of the table.

Fu Zheng never raised his hand to pick up the passbook. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes: "I want to spend the money I earn on you."

Gu Wanxing was stunned, staring blankly at the person in front of her. Although he was sneering, there seemed to be two burning flames in his eyes, licking her soul and burning her heart.

She gradually lost herself in his burning gaze, but thinking of her own experience, she finally lowered her eyes and chose silence.

Fu Zheng's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally he lowered his head and lowered his silent eyes.

The air in the private room seemed to suddenly stop, and neither of them spoke.

The silence in the room was completely broken until the waiter came in to deliver the food.

Fu Zheng let out a light breath, skillfully picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of her, rinsed them with hot water from the teapot, and then handed them back to Gu Wanxing.

When it was his turn, Gu Wanxing thought he wanted to rinse it too, so he just poured water on it.

"Drink some water before eating."

Fu Zheng held the teapot in one hand and filled the cup in front of her that had just been washed with water.

Gu Wanxing glanced at him secretly, then quickly lowered her eyes. She felt deeply guilty. That was how she felt right now.

"Thanks."

"Don't be polite. If you don't need this, I'll put it away. Maybe you'll need it in the future." Fu Zheng's voice was gentle, low and light, like the sunlight after the rain, which could warm people's hearts.

"Yeah." Gu Wanxing clenched his hands under the table again and again, but he didn't say what was in his heart.

As the waiters came in and out, the three dishes, plus the staple food, were all served.

Gu Wanxing ate rice and Fu Zheng ate beef noodles.

The atmosphere became lively again.

"This fried vermicelli isn't as delicious as last time. Maybe I didn't put enough salt."

Gu Wanxing tasted the food and commented on it.

Fu Zheng first transferred the beef slices from his bowl to Gu Wanxing's bowl, and then silently picked out the fish bones from the plate.

"Just eat yours and don't worry about me." Seeing that he gave all the beef to her, Gu Wanxing felt very comfortable and warm in her heart.

This person looks cold, but in fact he is extremely thoughtful and considerate, which makes people easily feel dependent on him.

"Eat it. I see you didn't eat much of the noodles last time. You only ate the beef. You must like the beef. It's not on the menu. Otherwise, I'd give you a plate so you can eat as much as you want."

Fu Zheng spoke casually while continuing to pick bones from the fish without slowing down.

Gu Wanxing: ...

The observation was very detailed. She really doesn't like noodles, but likes braised beef with soy sauce.

The Spanish mackerel is cut into two layers and fried, which makes it tasty and crispy on both sides while being tender inside.

He picked out the bones very seriously, as if he was doing something particularly meaningful. After a while, a whole big fish fillet was picked out, and all the small fish bones on both sides were picked out.

After choosing, he pushed the plate to the opposite side.

"Eat more without thorns."

Gu Wanxing's hand that was picking up the food stopped, and he was stunned. It turned out that the fish was for him.

This was the first time in her life that such a thing had happened. Except for the time when her mother picked out fish bones for her when she was a child, it had never happened again since she was seven or eight years old.

Suddenly, my mind popped up about my previous life.

Every time she cooked fish, she would pick out the bones and give them to the giant baby father and daughter to eat, and while she was picking out the bones, she would pull at the fish bones.

It’s so ironic to think about it. She has been living this kind of life for thirty-five years.

Thinking of that bastard's contempt and Zhao Chao's self-righteous attitude, she felt as if she had sunk into a dark and dirty quagmire.

It was like a movie playing in her mind. One moment, there was the scene of Zhao Chengyan smashing the cup because of trivial matters, the next moment, there was Zhao Chao's bored look at her, and finally, there was the feeling of suffocation at the moment of death.

Fu Zheng saw her breathing heavily, and the sweat on her forehead kept sliding down her cheeks.

After calling her twice without any response, he suddenly stood up and walked to Gu Wanxing's side.

While stroking her back, he held her trembling and cold hand tightly and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Although he didn't know what had happened, he felt that she was helpless and uncomfortable and in urgent need of comfort.

Gu Wanxing heard a voice as gentle as the summer night breeze, and her consciousness gradually returned. She felt a warm hand on her back, took a few deep breaths, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

She quickly raised her head to look at Fu Zheng. Seeing his deep eyes filled with worry that almost materialized, she forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I scared you. I just suddenly remembered something from the past. Come on, sit down and we'll eat."

Fu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her forcing a smile, his heart aching. After a series of observations, he thought that the fish he gave her reminded her of her life before marriage.

How much injustice must one have suffered to cause the body to have a stress response?

He must have experienced something that ordinary people could not endure.

He didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that she had indeed calmed down, he returned to his seat.

Fu Zheng took back the fish he had given away.

When Gu Wanxing saw his actions, he directly took the plate of fish in front of him.

"There are people like you who can take back the meat they give away." She joked to ease the atmosphere.

Hearing this, Fu Zheng revealed a faint smile: "If you like it, I will pick it for you."

"Hurry up and eat. Let's both speed up a bit, otherwise it will be dark when we get home."

"Um."

Fu Zheng responded cautiously.

Neither of them mentioned what had just happened, as if it had never happened.

After a meal fed by Fu Zheng, Gu Wanxing's stomach was so full that it was bulging. In fact, she just lowered her head and ate voraciously in order to cover up what had happened.

After Fu Zheng paid the bill, it was already past 2:30. The two of them rode their motorcycles, heading towards the western suburbs under the strongest sunlight of the day.

The heat waves hit Gu Wanxing's face, making him want to buy a car, but he just thought about it.

She must manage the money carefully to make her career go as smoothly as possible. She cannot become unstable just because she has a little more money.

Half an hour later.

The pitch-black road looked like it had been melted, but from a distance, the road seemed soft.

The two stood on the side of the road, looking at the factory buildings to the north, not knowing what day it was.

"It seems we took the wrong road." Fu Zheng wiped his forehead and said with squinted eyes.

Gu Wanxing was undoubtedly shocked and terrified. There was no way in here. Why?

She has run a factory here for twenty years, how could there be no road?

If there is no road, how can the factory be built? The problem is that there is not even a path.

She remembered that the tree in Daonan had three forks. Although the tree was not very big now, it was the only tree with three forks.

The intersection that should have been a fork in the road is now a drainage ditch that runs all the way through.

The way into the factory building was blocked by a drainage ditch.

Did I remember it wrong?

"Why don't we walk a little further? Maybe we haven't arrived yet."

Gu Wanxing said without giving up, since they were already here, they had to find out what was going on no matter what.

Fu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her, smiling dotingly: "Okay, let's walk forward a little further. Maybe I remembered it wrong."

He came here once when this place was first built. Shanzi's father had just had an accident, so he came here to accompany him.

There was a dirt bridge that led into the place, but now there is no trace of the bridge, which obviously means they either didn't get there or they walked past it.

Sure enough, the motorcycle drove for about another kilometer before it saw a wooden sign with an arrow pointing north.

Gu Wanxing looked around and felt a little familiar. It turned out that she just hadn't arrived yet. It was not her fault for making a mistake. The reference objects were not big, nor were they three forks. The bare road was bleached by the sun, making it difficult to tell how far she had walked.

"It turns out that this small bridge has not been built yet." Gu Wanxing stared at the small bridge without railings and murmured.

"Um?"

"Nothing, let's go in and ask the people who are watching over the factory if we can contact the person in charge. I remember this place seems to belong to the village inside."

Fu Zheng looked at her suspiciously. He had certainly heard what she said just now, and that strange feeling came back.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, but sometimes he felt that she was full of mystery.
