Chapter 255 Reporting to Your Wife is a Duty

On his way back, Fu Shenyuan received a call from Lin Xuesha.

When he saw the name on the screen, he was reluctant to say anything and did not answer the call.

But the phone rang anyway, and Fu Shenyuan answered it.

"Shen Yuan, where are you? I have something urgent to tell you. Can you come find me?"

Fu Shenyuan said in a deep voice, "Xue Sha, what happened?"

Lin Xuesha's voice was full of anxiety, indicating that it was something very urgent.

"Something has happened to our Lin family. I don't know what to do. Shen Yuan, please help me. I really need you."

Fu Shenyuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Where are you now?"

"I'm at the company; I don't dare go out."

“Okay, let’s wait there,” Fu Shenyuan said.

Lin Xuesha's tone immediately softened: "Then you should come over quickly, Shen Yuan. I'll be waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Shenyuan first called Tan Shen.

Tan Shen asked, "Mr. Fu, is there anything I can do for you?"

Fu Shenyuan: "Xue Sha seems to have run into some trouble. She's at her design company. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"Okay, what about you? Mr. Fu, are you coming over?"

Fu Shenyuan did not answer immediately: "I'll go back and check on Ranxing first. Call me and let me know the situation when you get there."

"No problem, Mr. Fu, I'll go see Miss Lin right away."

Fu Shenyuan continued to accelerate the car and drove towards the large penthouse.

When Fu Shenyuan arrived home, he opened the door, only to find that Jiang Ranxing was nowhere to be seen.

"Ranxing? Are you home?" Fu Shenyuan asked tentatively, standing at the door of Jiang Ranxing's bedroom.

There wasn't a sound at all in Jiang Ranxing's bedroom.

Fu Shenyuan tried asking a few more questions, and finally pushed the door open, only to find that no one was in the room.

Fu Shenyuan's heart tightened instantly. He anxiously took out his phone and dialed Jiang Ranxing's number. While waiting for the call to connect, he thought about Jiang Ranxing being extorted by thugs, and he couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, Jiang Ranxing answered the phone quickly.

"Hello, what's up?" Jiang Ranxing's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Fu Shenyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "You just said you went home, and I came back too. I didn't see you, and I was worried about you."

Jiang Ranxing chuckled lightly: "I said I was going home. When did I say I was going to your place? I have my own house."

Jiang Ranxing was sipping juice and spacing out at the bar in her apartment when a phone call from Fu Shenyuan disrupted her thoughts.

Fu Shenyuan immediately remembered where Jiang Ranxing had mentioned.

It was the place he wanted to know before he went abroad, but Jiang Ranxing at that time was unwilling to tell him no matter what.

The reason she didn't want to talk about it was clear: she didn't want something like what happened in that house by the sea to happen again.

Thinking of this, Fu Shenyuan's mood sank a bit.

His distrust and various actions at the time must have caused considerable harm to Jiang Ranxing.

If he could do it all over again, he would never have acted out of jealousy and done a series of irrational and emotional things.

Fu Shenyuan glanced at his phone, which was still connected to a call, and was surprised that Jiang Ranxing hadn't hung up immediately.

Fu Shenyuan said, "Can you tell me where you live? I'll send someone over to protect you secretly, in case anything unexpected happens."

"No need, the area here is quite safe."

Jiang Ranxing refused. She didn't think anything bad would happen. After all, this was a high-end residential complex. If anything were to happen, it would be a waste of the high property management fees she had paid.

Fu Shenyuan couldn't force Jiang Ranxing.

“There’s been a lot going on lately, so it would be best if we stayed together. Once the injury on your face has healed a bit, we’ll move back to the villa, and then we can discuss things with your second uncle.”

Jiang Ranxing paused for a moment and replied, "Okay, let's talk about it in a few days. Do you have anything else to do? I'm hanging up now."

"Wait, Ranxing, I have something else to tell you," Fu Shenyuan said, stopping her.

"What?"

Fu Shenyuan said, "Xue Sha just called me and said she encountered some trouble. It didn't sound fake, so I sent Tan Shen over. If there's really something wrong, I might go over to take a look, but it's just to handle things, nothing else."

Jiang Ranxing said "Oh", and then said, "If you want to go, then go. Why are you telling me? I don't want to go."

Fu Shenyuan chuckled awkwardly twice: "As a man, I think it's necessary to report to my wife that I went to see other women."

Reporting his whereabouts to avoid arousing his wife's suspicion and worry should be his responsibility.

But Jiang Ranxing seemed completely unconcerned about this.

"You don't need to tell me. You can go see whoever you want, as long as you don't bring women in front of me, I don't care."

Upon hearing this, the sweet feeling that had just welled up in Fu Shenyuan's heart vanished completely.

It turns out he was overthinking everything.

Jiang Ranxing cared for him and applied medicine to his wounds, but these actions did not seem to stem from her love for him.

Jiang Ranxing is a person with a high sense of morality. Perhaps, as she said, if someone else were injured because of her, she would also come to visit and apply medicine. Perhaps she would treat other people better than she would treat him.

But what if it were Wen Qingrang? Fu Shenyuan couldn't help but think.

If Wen Qingrang had been injured while saving her, would she still have been so calm and composed in applying medicine to him?

Will he receive the kind of gentle treatment and heartfelt care he expects?

Her feelings for Wen Qingrang were different from those for others.

Only Fu Shenyuan himself knew how much longing and yearning he felt for the person on the other end of the phone.

"Burning Star, whether you care or not, I want to tell you that I will only have you, and I will only be loyal to you. I will not go out and mess around, so don't worry."

Before Jiang Ranxing could finish speaking, Fu Shenyuan continued, "You should rest. I won't bother you anymore. Love you."

The call was abruptly disconnected. Jiang Ranxing glanced at his phone, paused for two seconds, and then put it aside.

Fu Shenyuan stared at his phone for a long time, repeatedly processing the unfinished thoughts from earlier.

A pang of sadness welled up inside him, and he didn't know how to alleviate it.

Every minute spent with Jiang Ranxing was a moment of both pain and sweetness.

Such days are like a sweet poison; touching them will hurt you, but avoiding them will leave you yearning for them.

He constantly thought about returning to the life he and Jiang Ranxing had lived before. He would treat her well, and they would be the happiest couple in the world.

Fu Shenyuan closed his eyes, silently savoring the pain in his heart.

He didn't know how much longer he could endure it. No matter how much he wanted to have her, he had to try his best to restrain himself.

There's only one Jiang Ranxing in the world, and no one else can replace him. If he gets lost again, he might never be found again.

He would never let her disappear from his sight.
