Chapter 224 You won't know how delicious Fu Ci is until you've tasted it...
"good."
Tang Mingli took the clothes and went into the bathroom.
These few steps, though seemingly calm, were actually fraught with turmoil.
Only after entering the bathroom and closing the door did she allow herself to fully express her emotions.
Looking at the person in the mirror with red eyes and panting, I really wanted to tell her, "You are lucky in this life."
After taking a shower, Fu Ci sat in the study reading a book.
Since shifting her career focus to Shenzhen, Tang Mingli couldn't remember the last time she had seen her husband sitting at his large desk, engrossed in reading like this.
What used to be an ordinary scene was now disrupted for her, and she stood quietly at the doorway, looking around.
However, it was as if Fu Ci had radar installed on his head. He noticed Tang Mingli after she had only been standing there for a short while and laughed, "Why don't you come in?"
Tang Mingli honestly admitted, "It's a pleasing sight to see a handsome guy reading a book."
Fu Ci, who was unexpectedly teased, did not feel embarrassed by the joke; instead, he was extremely happy.
He had always known that his wife liked his looks, and his feelings about this had unconsciously shifted from embarrassment to happiness.
His appearance is also part of him; liking his appearance is no different from liking him as a person.
The two of them stood a few meters apart, gazing at each other.
Sensing that something was about to go wrong if things continued like this, Tang Mingli quickly broke the increasingly awkward atmosphere.
"Ahem, now can you tell me what you wanted to say to me before your afternoon nap?"
After saying that, he took the initiative to step forward and sit down opposite Fu Ci.
She still dared not look directly into her husband's affectionate eyes.
Thankfully, neither of them is in their early twenties anymore, otherwise, given how they looked at each other just now, they would have definitely started a passionate affair.
However, the changes that age brings to them are currently limited to this.
The couple's sex life was of high quality, but compared to their youthful impetuosity, they were now more rational.
Tang Mingli's face grew hotter and hotter as she thought about it. She pretended to brush the hair that had fallen in front of her forehead back and touched her cheek.
Fu Ci nodded and asked his wife, "Do you remember what day it is the day after tomorrow?"
the day after tomorrow?
Tang Mingli quickly searched her memory.
No one had a birthday, and I hadn't heard of any relatives or friends having a wedding.
My daughter's school hasn't announced any activities.
Tang Mingli thought about it for a while, then her eyes became even more confused.
Fu Ci sighed softly, stood up and went to his side, reminding him, "Fifteen years ago..."
Tang Mingli remembered!
Yes, that was the day they got married fifteen years ago.
She doesn't remember.
To her surprise, he actually remembered.
They've celebrated their wedding anniversary over the past fifteen years, but it's always been the day they got their marriage certificate. Why are they suddenly bringing up the wedding date this year?
Tang Mingli looked at her with suspicion.
Fu Ci loved her adorable confused look and kissed her still rosy cheeks.
"This year is our 15th wedding anniversary, our crystal anniversary, and I thought we should celebrate it properly. On the day we got our marriage certificate, it was just the two of us, and we didn't talk much afterward. Looking back, it feels so cold and quiet, not as lively as our wedding day."
"I still remember that on our wedding day, you were smiling so happily the whole time, it was a genuine smile from the bottom of your heart."
Recalling the details of their wedding, Fu Ci felt extremely fortunate. That day, he was worried that Tang Mingli would be nervous, so he kept a close eye on her. Even fifteen years later, though he might not remember many other details of the wedding, he could still clearly recall those related to his wife.
Tang Mingli was moved to tears.
She didn't quite remember many of what Fu Ci had said.
But one thing is certain: she was all smiles the whole time she arrived at the hotel that day, because she had heard that the food there was as delicious as a royal banquet.
Just thinking about eating such delicious food makes me smile uncontrollably.
In addition, on the wedding day, her grandmother and mother-in-law were very generous and put five pairs of bracelets on her wrists in one go.
The gleaming gold bracelet is so beautiful that it's impossible for anyone to resist smiling.
This man even knew that fifteen years is a crystal wedding anniversary. How much information did he secretly research?
I suddenly realized why I felt something was off about what Grandma was saying that day.
It wasn't a misperception; Grandma really was thinking about her and Fu Ci's fifteenth wedding anniversary. It was she, the person involved, who hadn't taken it to heart at all.
"Did you come back specifically to celebrate our fifteenth anniversary together?"
"Otherwise what?" Fu Ci gently tapped her nose, which was starting to turn red, and said softly, "Don't cry, don't feel moved. This is what a husband should do."
"Um."
Despite saying that, Tang Mingli was still moved. She reached out and hugged him, burying her face in his chest. It took her quite a while to calm down.
Fu Ci patiently waited for his wife to calm down before discussing with her, "What are you planning to do?"
He then revealed his original plans.
He originally wanted to hold a small ceremony, inviting a few close family and friends to celebrate at the hotel where he had his wedding years ago, with two tables of guests.
To this end, he secretly discussed it with his family and asked them to keep it a secret, wanting to give her a surprise.
When I contacted the restaurant, I learned that it was already out of business and about to close down.
Over the years, he has seen many businesses fail and close down, and he is used to it.
The business world is like a battlefield; it's all about survival of the fittest.
However, upon hearing that the hotel where they held their wedding was going to close down, he was still somewhat affected.
That was the place that witnessed the beginning of their happiness, and he secretly hoped that it would last a long time.
Fu Ci felt uneasy and couldn't help but wonder if it was a bad omen.
This unease haunted him for several days. During a phone conversation with his wife, he tentatively mentioned that a friend had secretly prepared a birthday surprise for her. His wife made it clear that she didn't like surprises that were planned without her consent, which made him suddenly realize something.
He decided against making decisions on his own regarding the 15th anniversary, which is why he abandoned his original celebration plans.
After saying that, he said with some guilt, "But I always feel like I've wronged you."
After listening to her husband recount his thought process, Tang Mingli said with relief, "Luckily, you changed your mind."
Fu Ci asked with a smile, "You really don't like that kind of celebration?"
Well, how should I put it?
If Fu Ci really did prepare this surprise, she certainly wouldn't be disappointed; she would gladly accept and enjoy it. She would also be touched and feel happy about it.
However, if she had to choose how to celebrate their 15th anniversary, she would prefer the two of them, or perhaps just the whole family, to have a simple celebration.
Marriage is like drinking water; only the person drinking knows whether it's hot or cold. There's no need to show off.
Fu Cixin's wife said so.
That's just the kind of person she is.
Cherish whatever life gives you.
Even if something has already happened and it's not going well, we should think about how to solve it, instead of complaining.
His wife is the most insightful person in the world.
Tang Mingli laughed and scolded, "Alright, if you keep going, I'll start to think you're scolding me."
"How could I bear to?"
He made no attempt to conceal his words.
How could he bear to scold her?
Tang Mingli's heart softened upon hearing his straightforward remark, and her tone became gentler as well.
"I know."
She knew that he always only wanted to cherish her and would never bear to scold her.
Tang Mingli smiled and said to Fu Ci, "I know that there aren't many couples who can stay happily together for fifteen years. For us to have been married for fifteen years without any major problems or growing apart is even rarer. Fifteen years may not be as long as fifty, but it is still very precious. On this precious anniversary, I still hope that our family can just spend it simply together."
The gentle gaze seemed to change the atmosphere around them.
The two have been together for fifteen years.
Fifteen years of growing love that lasted day by day.
The relationship between them can no longer be simply summarized as romantic love or familial affection.
Just like what they see in each other's eyes right now.
He had eyes for her, and she had eyes for him.
They were already inseparable, sharing the same blood and flesh.
In their tender gazes, both of them were moved.
Fu Ciqing couldn't help but lower his head and kiss those lips.
Tang Mingli tiptoed and hugged his neck, responding instinctively.
...
"Mother."
The shouts instantly brought the two people, who were about to lose their senses, back to their senses.
Almost simultaneously, the two released each other, creating a distance of half an inch.
Tang Mingli quickly straightened her clothes, secretly glad that she had matured. Otherwise, if it were ten years ago, she would have already stripped Fu Ci naked and pinned him down.
You'll know how delicious Fu Ci is once you've tried it.
Fu Ci had similar thoughts, and secretly rejoiced that he had restrained himself.
With that cry of "Mom," Fu Yu appeared on the second floor not long after.
She had no idea what she had done to disturb her parents. When she saw them, she asked them in a spoiled tone why they hadn't come down to play with her yet.
I miss you all.
The last sentence almost melted the hearts of both Fu Ci and Tang Mingli.
Fu Ci immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad didn't consider Xiaoyu's feelings and it took too long."
Fu Yu didn't want her parents to apologize. She hugged her father's neck affectionately and said coquettishly, "Dad, I'm not blaming you. I just want to play with you."
Goodness, this is the kind of thing that the two adults will probably want to punch themselves for thinking about it later.
Tang Mingli felt like crying again. She felt she needed to wash her face, so she said to her daughter, "Baby, Mommy needs to wash her face. Wait for Mommy for a while."
“Okay,” Fu Yu replied sweetly.
Tang Mingli didn't know that before she could speak, her daughter eagerly grabbed her father and asked, "Dad, you're back! Can you tell Mom?"
His daughter overheard him talking to his parents on the phone about celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary. He was planning to surprise his wife and had specifically told his daughter to keep it a secret.
I never expected my daughter to be able to keep the secret at such a young age.
He felt very proud.
“My mother and I have been upstairs for so long because we were discussing this matter.”
"Is Mom happy?"
Fu Ci nodded: "I'm very happy."
Fu Yu giggled; hearing her mother happy made her happy too.
