Chapter 33: Zhong Yi (End)

*
When they arrived at the gate of T Hospital, Zhong Yining was eager to get off the car, but was stopped by Fu Yiqiu.
Without a word, he pulled a blanket from the back seat of the car and placed it on her bare thighs. "Wrap the blanket around you and wrap it tightly before getting out of the car."
Only then did she realize that because the situation was so urgent, she had just gone out wearing his T-shirt without even wearing pants underneath.
Zhong Yining spread out the blanket and wrapped herself up, whispering, "...You're almost disfigured, how come you still have the mind to care about me?"
He curled his lips and said, "My thoughts are all on you. I don't care who else you care about."
After entering the hospital, the two of them received a lot of attention along the way. After all, one of them had his eyes swollen like light bulbs from crying and was wearing a blanket as clothes, while the other one was super handsome but had a flower on his head. No matter who it was, they would want to take a second look at this combination and let their imagination run wild.
After registering and going upstairs, this handsome man actually had the leisure to lean over and joke with her in her ear, "I think everyone thinks you are the one who domestically abused me and that's why I'm like this."
She originally looked haggard, but upon hearing this she couldn't help but glare at him.
He chuckled, tilted his head and kissed her cheek, "I'm really fine."
After the doctor finished treating the wound, Zhong Yining stood beside him, looking at the gauze on his head, and whispered to the doctor, "Will it leave a scar?"
The other person was a rather young female doctor. She glanced at her and smiled, "Yes, but with the hair covering it, it shouldn't be too clear. It won't affect the handsome guy's appearance."
"See?" Fu Yiqiu smiled faintly, "Your brother Fu has an unwavering appearance, so scars won't be a problem."
She felt both distressed and amused, and gently patted his shoulder with her palm, but he smiled and caught her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently and devoutly.
Zhong Yining looked at him with his eyes lowered, and felt his chest starting to feel blocked again.
After leaving the hospital, she drove all the way to the downstairs of his own house.
"Fu Yiqiu," she said to him softly, "You go up and rest first. I need to go back."
He knew that the "go back" she was referring to was going back to Fu Yan's house. He turned his head to look at her, with not much expression on his face. "What are you going back for?"
"Take my things," she said calmly, "and talk to him about the divorce."
"I know you'll definitely say you want to go too," she continued before he could even open his mouth, "but I don't think it's appropriate for you to go. You two brothers are in this mess because of me, and you've already made your position clear. If you go with me now, it will only irritate him further, so I should end this matter myself. This is originally my marriage to Fu Yan, so he and I are the parties involved."
Her attitude was usually rather gentle and soft, but this was the most resolute attitude he had ever seen her have.
"Fu Yiqiu, you have always been protecting me. Now it's my turn to protect you. If you believe in my feelings for you, let me solve it myself."
The car was very quiet at this moment, without even a sound.
After a long moment, he stared at her motionlessly and nodded.
"good."
-
When she returned home again, it was almost sunset.
There was no light on in the living room, it was pitch black, and there was not a sound in the entire house.
Fu Yan seemed not to be at home. She wanted to pack her things first before talking to him about divorce, so she went upstairs to the bedroom, turned on the light, and took out her clothes from the closet to change into.
Then she pulled a suitcase out of the storage room and began to slowly pack her things.
After she took out all her toiletries from the bathroom in her bedroom, she paused.
At some point, Fu Yanren was already standing at the bedroom door. He stood there quietly, looking at her silently.
He looked extremely haggard.
Since she and he knew each other, he was always proud, domineering and high-spirited, always smiling. Even if he encountered something unpleasant in business, he always looked as if nothing had happened. She had almost never seen him look sad for even a second.
But now, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
She put the things in her hand into the suitcase, looked at him and said softly, "I'll talk to you after I finish packing."
"What?"
Fu Yan's eyes were unfocused. "Do you want to talk about how you and Fu Yiqiu will live a happy life together in the future?"
Zhong Yining sighed and didn't respond.
She turned around and put the clothes she had arranged on the bed into the suitcase when she heard a light voice behind her, "Zhong Yining, you think too simply. Do you think that just by divorcing me, you and Fu Yiqiu can start a happy new life? Do you think our parents will agree? Do you know how many tricks I have to make him and you lose everything in an instant?"
"You will never be able to own these beautiful clothes and expensive bags again in your lifetime,"
He raised his hand, pointing to the things he had bought her that she had left in the closet. His voice gradually rose, "My money, my house, they have nothing to do with you anymore. You schemed so hard to marry me to get these, but now they're all going to turn to nothing. Are you so willing to accept that?"
She stopped what she was doing and quietly raised her head to look at his hideous and distorted face.
After a while, she said word by word, "Fu Yan, no matter what kind of life I will lead in the future, no matter who I am with, our marriage has come to an end."
"Even if Fu Yiqiu and I are not together tomorrow, even if I can never afford these beautiful and luxurious things again in my life, I don't want to live with you anymore, do you understand?"
His eyes trembled slightly, "...Why?"
"Is it because I cheated on you and had an affair with you?"
He took a step forward and spoke firmly, "Zhong Yining, every man's nature is to pursue novelty and excitement. My behavior is not unique, do you think Fu Yiqiu will not do the same? Can you guarantee that he will be loyal to you and only you for the rest of his life? Even if you are old and ugly, he will still only look at you? He is younger than you, is this possible?"
She looked at Fu Yan and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Fu Yan, you're right. Your behavior is not unique. That's why I still don't trust other men, nor do I believe that love can last forever."
"Perhaps if I hadn't met Fu Yiqiu, I would have stayed in this house like this for the rest of my life, contentedly accepting the life and freedom you brought me, and enduring your fickleness and promiscuity for the rest of my life."
"But I can't do that now. After meeting him, I can't live the same way as before because I believe in him."
She is still aware of the ugly side of human nature, and she still feels that the fairy tale ending will not happen to everyone.
But she believed in Fu Yiqiu, and for him, she was willing to believe in all the beliefs he brought her.
Including what he called lifelong love.
Fu Yan looked at her, and without even noticing it himself, big tears suddenly rolled down the corners of his eyes.
This arrogant and conceited man seemed to fall apart, slowly bending his legs and kneeling on the floor.
"...Zhong Yining,"
He hung his head, tears pattering onto the ground. "I've deleted all those women and will never meet them again. I'll go home on time every night and try to reduce business trips. I'll try to be a good husband. Can you please not divorce me?"
Her fingers trembled slightly.
"I know you've never loved me, but I can't stand the thought that I'll never see you again when I return home. I can't accept a life without you. I can even... forgive what happened between you and Fu Yiqiu."
He raised his head, his voice trembling, "I love you more than I thought, Zhong Yining, really, please don't leave me, okay? I beg you..."
Zhong Yining looked down at him condescendingly.
After a long while, she slowly squatted down and looked at him straight in the eye. "Fu Yan, if one day you are lucky enough to meet a girl who truly loves you, I hope you can hold on to her and become the good husband you described."
"But that person won't be me."
Then she stood up, zipped up her suitcase, and dragged it away from him.
When she reached the door, she heard Fu Yan's crying and almost crazy shouting from behind, "I will never sign the divorce agreement. Don't even think about being with Fu Yiqiu legitimately. You two will not be happy, absolutely not..."
She closed her eyes, said nothing, and turned to go downstairs.
-
When she walked out of the entrance door, she saw a man standing next to the car.
In the twilight, he leaned against the car, as quiet and lonely as ever.
But in those deep and beautiful eyes, she felt a constant flow of warmth and emotion.
Zhong Yining dragged the suitcase and slowly walked to the car and stood there, looking up at him and smiling, "You were disobedient and didn't stay home to rest properly."
Fu Yiqiu lowered his eyes, raised his hand to ruffle her soft hair, and gently held her in his arms.
After a while, she heard him whisper, "Will he agree to sign?"
She looked up from his arms, "He will."
His eyes flickered slightly.
"Because he loves himself best, just like I did before," she said softly.
"Before," he repeated the two words in her words.
"Yes," she smiled with the corners of her mouth curved, "before."
"What now?"
Dr. Fu, who was always aloof and calm, sounded anxious for the first time. He grabbed her arms with both hands like a little child and stared into her eyes.
The smile in her eyes deepened, "Now?"
"Now, I love my Zhong Yi even more."
-
London.
It has been more than two months since I left City T and came to the UK.
What surprised Zhong Yining but was also understandable was that Fu Yiqiu had already made all the necessary preparations before the incident broke out. He contacted a top hospital through his doctor friend Zhu Jing in the UK, passed the interview and was hired as a doctor in the hospital.
The two companies that had been completely abandoned by Fu Yan were actually slowly revived by him and quietly transferred to his name overseas.
He even has a house here ready.
As for her, before leaving, she went to the company to hand in her resignation. A colleague who had a good relationship with her secretly gave her a business card of the head of the British branch and asked her to try her luck.
Who knew that when she got there, the person in charge only met her once and decided to hire her with a wave of his hand.
She asked the honest-looking person in charge with a mustache why, and got this answer.
“I really like the clothing series you designed, Zhong Yi. I can feel the emotion and soul you put into it. I hope you can continue to design such clothes here in the future.”
After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I will."
When Fu Yiqiu came home from get off work, she was cooking in the kitchen.
He put down his bag, washed his hands, and the first thing he did was go over and kiss her cheek, "I'm back."
She had just finished cooking a dish, so she turned off the heat, turned around and hugged him, "I have two things to tell you."
He put his arms around her waist and looked at her intently with his eyes lowered.
“Fu Yan just sent me a message,” she said, “saying he can sign the agreement next week.”
She didn't expect that Fu Yan would agree to sign the agreement after just two months. Before they left T City for the UK, Fu Yan still refused to sign and often called her in the middle of the night drunk and crying. Later, Fu's parents also called Fu Yiqiu and their words were very fierce and angry, but Fu Yiqiu endured it all silently and only replied, "Mom and Dad, I can only have her."
This incident was indeed a big scandal for the prominent Fu family. The eldest son's wife turned to be with the second son. Not only was Fu Yan embarrassed, but so were Fu's parents. So Fu Yiqiu and her chose the quietest shortcut - leaving everyone's sight.
"Well, I'll go back with you next week."
Fu Yiqiu nodded, sighed deeply, and said calmly, "I think my parents will be like Fu Yan. They will figure it out one day. Time will allow them to slowly accept all this. No matter what, I am always their son."
She closed her eyes and said, "Yeah."
"What's one more thing?"
Zhong Yining was stunned, and then her cheeks turned slightly red.
Fu Yiqiu looked at her for a few seconds and narrowed his eyes, "Could it be..."
She gritted her teeth, stood on tiptoe, and whispered something in his ear.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and his usually steady voice trembled a little. "...Really?"
Her face flushed and her voice was very soft, "It should be. I tested it twice."
His arms around her waist tightened more and more, and his whole face began to show an expression of extreme joy.
Then he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and muttered softly, "So it was that time."
"Um?"
"Nothing." He winked at her. "I said your brother Fu is really a sharpshooter."
Sharpshooter, hits the target with one shot.
Zhong Yining was stunned for a moment, then punched him in shame and anger.
"Baby, stop cooking,"
He then picked her up and spun her around, his handsome face full of smiles. "Let's go to the hospital now. I'll arrange for a doctor to give you a thorough checkup."
Without waiting for her to speak, he put her down again and kissed her cheek again and again, "I don't want a son. Master Jing and that unlucky son of the God of War are too naughty and cunning. They're annoying."
She laughed so hard, "What if?"
"There's no chance of that happening," he said. "Dr. Fu just wants a daughter."
"besides,"
He looked at her and suddenly said seriously, "I've thought of a name too."
She looked at him and shook her head helplessly, "Don't tell me to scream..."
"I like it,"
He was particularly proud, "Fu Zhongyi."
"Your child will hate you," Zhong Yining stroked his forehead, "take mom and dad's last names together..."
"I don't care, this name has a deep meaning,"
He looked into her eyes and said softly, "Mom is the person Dad loves most in his life, so I have to pass on this love to her as well."
Fortunately, I didn't meet you too late.
Fortunately, after going around in circles, I finally waited for you.
This time, I will definitely hold your hand tightly and walk with you forever.
I love you so much, for the rest of my life.
