Chapter 396 Her protective nature towards her family VS His soft heart towards his wronged child (54 chapters)

Not long after, Fu Chengyan came in from the door.

"Finished talking?" he asked casually.

Then he sat down on the sofa, looking quite comfortable.

Jiang Zhiyi looked at him but did not answer.

He clearly came with the answer in mind when he asked the question. The person has already left, so how could they not have finished talking?

He must have known about what just happened.

She sat down beside him and said in a low voice, "I'm hungry."

Fu Chengyan knew she would be hungry when she woke up, so he had someone prepare food in the kitchen early in the morning.

He made a phone call, and soon someone brought over food, filling the table to the brim.

Jiang Zhiyi sat there eating, enjoying all her favorite dishes, and she had a great appetite.

Fu Chengyan barely touched his chopsticks, but occasionally put food on her plate.

He drank quite a lot of alcohol by himself.

Jiang Zhiyi ate while glancing at him, looking rather furtive.

Fu Chengyan couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at her before reaching out to touch her stomach. "You're already full? What are you looking at? Do I have words on my face?"

"Don't touch me like that!" She slapped his hand away.

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just feeling around." He replied slowly, "Is the little person in your belly with its mouth agape full yet?"

Jiang Zhiyi knew exactly what he meant; he was indirectly implying that she was greedy.

"You're the one with a baby in your belly." She took a big bite of the meatball and chewed it forcefully, as if venting her anger.

Seeing that he ignored her, she remembered something else and started to confront him, "Why did you lie to me on purpose before?"

He never told the truth; his roundabout ways of speaking confused her completely.

She was almost tricked into going abroad by him.

Fu Chengyan put down his wine glass and turned to look directly at her.

"Is it because you're stupid? Who came to me and said they were pregnant? You don't even care about your own body. It's a miracle I didn't sell you out."

"I—" Jiang Zhiyi wanted to continue arguing with him, but he covered her mouth with his hand, preventing her from speaking.

"So stupid, I bet even if she's really pregnant, the baby will be just as stupid as you," he said again.

The pressure on her hand increased; it seemed there was something on her lips that required considerable effort to wipe clean.

Jiang Zhiyi was truly angry now. She blinked a few times and said, "You're the stupid one! You're a complete liar! You even lied to me about something like this. You almost scared me to death."

Fu Chengyan moved closer, looked into her eyes, and met her gaze.

He seemed a little drunk, as his voice still carried the smell of alcohol and his tone was light and airy: "If you want to get pregnant, then I'll try my best."

Jiang Zhiyi was furious. This person had no shame at all and dared to say anything.

She glanced to the side and thankfully, none of the nannies standing nearby noticed what was happening.

"Shut up! Have you no shame?"

He raised an eyebrow, just smiled, and didn't say anything.

"Hmph—" Jiang Zhiyi ignored him and continued eating.

She couldn't be bothered arguing with a drunkard.

...

It was evening.

It was raining heavily outside, with the sound of rain pattering down and occasional rumbles of thunder.

Jiang Zhiyi lay in bed for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep. She had slept too much during the day and wasn't sleepy at all.

Fu Chengyan lay to the side with his eyes closed. He wasn't asleep either; he had drunk a bit too much that night.

Jiang Zhiyi dozed off for a while, then decided not to sleep anymore and fussed as she snuggled up to him.

She recalled those two nights she spent on the mountain, still feeling a bit scared, and couldn't help but whine, "I was terrified... I thought I might not make it to someone come to rescue me. I almost died there..."

Fu Chengyan opened his eyes. He could easily see through her intentions; she was deliberately playing the victim. "You really like this beautiful scenery, don't you?"

Jiang Zhiyi looked up angrily, only to meet his mocking gaze.

Their gazes met briefly in the air.

She moved her head and leaned against his shoulder.

His soft hair fell down, making his neck itchy.

Jiang Zhiyi started lying without batting an eye, trying to find fault: "I called you so many times back then, but you didn't answer... You didn't care about me at all."

"Do you have a cell phone signal?"

"I don't care, it's still happening! You just don't want to care about me, you ignore me, it's all your fault."

It was clearly a deliberate attempt to cause trouble, but as Jiang Zhiyi spoke, she genuinely felt wronged, and her eyes turned red.

Fu Chengyan stared at her for a few seconds, then leaned in and kissed her on the lips, his tone both doting and helpless: "I'm not abandoning you. You have to be obedient from now on and not run around like that anymore. What would I do if something happened to you? I wouldn't have my precious anymore..."

Perhaps because he was drunk, or perhaps because he was in a good mood tonight, he was speaking much more affectionately than before, which was quite unlike his usual self.

That sounded alright. Jiang Zhiyi reached out and scratched him, then said, "What else can we do? You don't care anyway."

"Do you think I don't care?" he asked.

"You don't care."

Fu Chengyan paused, then took her hand and kissed it, whispering, "I care."

The rain outside hadn't stopped, and his words were quickly drowned out by the pattering sound of the rain.

However, Jiang Zhiyi could still hear it very clearly.

My heart softened a little.

It is said that tenderness is a tactic. In the past, whenever she wanted to do something, she would always act pitifully and coquettishly with him, and then he would soften and let her do whatever she wanted.

This tactic worked for her time and time again.

But often, she also couldn't resist his methods.

He coaxed her so gently that she couldn't do anything about it.

"Be good, don't go anywhere else." He gently stroked her hair, his movements full of tenderness.

for a long time.

“I’m very well-behaved,” she replied.

Fu Chengyan held the person in his arms and sighed with satisfaction, "That's good."
