On the day of their sixth wedding anniversary, Jiang Ranxing waited for Fu Shenyuan until the restaurant closed.
Upon returning home, she found Fu Shenyuan embracing his first love and their ...
Chapter 58 How could it possibly be her?
Suppressing his heartache, Jiang Ranxing secretly made the decision to accept the shares.
Jiang Ranxing checked the time; it was almost midnight.
On the day of the Fu family gathering, the younger generation would not leave the Fu family's old house, but would stay overnight in their own rooms.
As Mr. Fu said, it was to add vitality to the old house, because a house thrives when it's full of people.
Therefore, no one in the Fu family is allowed to leave.
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to sit there with Fu Shenyuan either; she wanted to wait until he finished his call before leaving together.
So she stood up, got up, and went upstairs to their room.
Jiang Ranxing first went to the children's room to take a look at Fu Xingyi.
"Young Master Xingyi has been asleep for half an hour," said the old house's nanny.
Jiang Ranxing opened the door, looked around, adjusted the air conditioner temperature to make the room warmer, and then left the children's room.
Jiang Ranxing turned and walked to her room door. She went straight to the bathroom, closed the door, and prepared to take a hot shower before going to sleep.
The hot water was warm and comfortable. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ranxing filled the bathtub with water, adjusted the temperature, and stepped into the bathtub to soak in the bath.
As drowsiness overcame him, Jiang Ranxing actually fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bathtub...
When Jiang Ranxing woke up, she heard rustling sounds at the door.
Jiang Ranxing was startled. She wanted to get up quickly and put on a bathrobe, but it was too late. The bathroom door was already open, so Jiang Ranxing had no choice but to sink her body back into the bathtub foam.
"What... are you doing here...?"
Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing stared at each other in the bathroom.
Fortunately, the bathtub was full of foam, so she didn't have to awkwardly stare at Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing blushed and muttered, "I was taking a shower. Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
Fu Shenyuan glanced at her affectionately, then leaned against the bathroom door.
He said, "I knocked, but you just didn't hear me."
Jiang Ranxing felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned even redder. How could she have fallen asleep in the bathtub?
Jiang Ranxing wanted to reach for the bathrobe and put it on, but then she thought that she wasn't dressed yet, and she couldn't just put it on in front of Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing glanced at Fu Shenyuan, who was still in the same position.
Jiang Ranxing said to him, "Are you still standing there to watch me change my clothes?"
Fu Shenyuan actually managed a rather amused smile.
Jiang Ranxing was stunned; she had never seen Fu Shenyuan have such an expression before.
Jiang Ranxing looked at him with some shame and indignation, thinking that he was about to do something.
Fu Shenyuan simply smiled and turned to leave.
Jiang Ranxing calmed her flustered heart, quickly put on her bathrobe, tied the sash tightly, and then left the bathroom.
When Jiang Ranxing changed into her pajamas, dried her hair, and returned to the bedroom, she saw Fu Shenyuan sitting on the single sofa by the bed, flipping through foreign popular science books.
Jiang Ranxing coughed lightly, and Fu Shenyuan looked up at her.
"Aren't you going to take a shower?" she asked.
"I showered in the guest room next door," Fu Shenyuan said casually.
Jiang Ranxing said "oh," looked at the large bed in front of her, and then looked at Fu Shenyuan.
In the past, when they returned to their old house, they would stay in the same room and, of course, in the same bed.
But given their current relationship, living together is definitely not appropriate.
She didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Fu Shenyuan anymore, and she believed that Fu Shenyuan probably felt the same way.
Jiang Ranxing asked, "How are we going to sleep tonight?"
Fu Shenyuan didn't even look up: "Sleep the way you used to, sleep the way you still do now."
Fu Shenyuan spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
Jiang Ranxing thought about it and realized that it made sense. If he didn't care, why should she?
Besides, this bed is very large, so one person can lie on one side without touching anything.
Jiang Ranxing decided to stop caring about Fu Shenyuan; she was feeling really tired.
She lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down first. The comfortable and soft down comforter enveloped her body, easing her fatigue.
Jiang Ranxing gradually felt sleepy, and she stirred slightly.
Fu Shenyuan put down the popular science book in his hand and glanced at Jiang Ranxing. He originally wanted to ask her what Grandpa Fu had said to her.
Seeing the blanket covering Jiang Ranxing rising and falling with his breath, he didn't ask any questions.
"Chuan... Brother Chuan..."
A sudden murmur startled Fu Shenyuan, who turned abruptly to look at the person sleeping on the bed.
Jiang Ranxing stopped talking and silently went back to sleep.
Fu Shenyuan wanted to hear what Jiang Ranxing had to say more, but Jiang Ranxing stopped talking.
He walked over and stood beside Jiang Ranxing's bed, asking, "Who were you just talking about?"
A question pulled Jiang Ranxing out of her sleep. She opened her eyes hesitantly and looked at Fu Shenyuan with great confusion.
Fu Shenyuan suddenly lowered his head and moved closer to her, their noses almost touching.
Jiang Ranxing looked at Fu Shenyuan in front of her, wondering why he was standing so close to her.
"What are you saying? I don't understand." Jiang Ranxing tried to push Fu Shenyuan away, but Fu Shenyuan locked her wrists and pinned her to the bed.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Jiang Ranxing struggled on the bed.
Fu Shenyuan stared intently at her with a probing gaze, and asked through gritted teeth, "You just mentioned Brother Xiaochuan, do you know him? Answer me."
Jiang Ranxing continued to struggle, saying, "I don't know any Xiao Chuan. I was just talking in my sleep!"
Fu Shenyuan stared at Jiang Ranxing for a while before letting go of her hand.
Impossible. How could Jiang Ranxing possibly know Brother Xiaochuan? Only Lin Xuesha knows that name.
The relationship between Xiaochuan and Xingguang is a secret between him and Lin Xuesha, and no one else could possibly know it.
What Jiang Ranxing said was definitely different from the Xiao Chuan he had with Xue Sha.
Fu Shenyuan thought he was probably overthinking things.
Jiang Ranxing had no idea what Fu Shenyuan was up to, and being woken up made her unable to fall back asleep.
Jiang Ranxing got out of bed, straightened her pajamas, and walked out.
"I'll go check on Yiyi in his room. You should rest."
After saying that, Jiang Ranxing left their room.
As Fu Shenyuan watched her retreating figure, he was momentarily lost in thought.
He took out his phone and checked the photo he had saved for a long time. It was a handwritten letter from Lin Xuesha, signed "Your Starlight".
That's right, Lin Xuesha is her star.
Fu Shenyuan carefully pressed the photo against his heart, slowly savoring the warmth he could never have in his youth.
Jiang Ranxing then went to Fu Xingyi's room and lay down on the other side of Fu Xingyi's large bed.
Fu Xingyi, who was asleep, seemed to feel the warmth and kept snuggling into Jiang Ranxing's arms and acting coquettishly.
Jiang Ranxing gently patted her son's hair with a sense of satisfaction.
The next day, after having breakfast at the old house, the Fu family members all drove away.
Jiang Ranxing did not choose to leave with Fu Shenyuan and his son.
"Mom, aren't you coming back to the villa with us?" Fu Xingyi asked, raising his little face.
Jiang Ranxing nodded and said, "Mom has work, so she won't be going back."
Fu Xingyi's spirits sank.
