Chapter 243: Celebrating Your Birthday
"I left you a letter when I left. I asked Xiao Chen to mail it to you. Didn't you receive it?"
Su Li shook her head and looked at him in surprise, "No, I have never received any letters."
She raised her head, a look of inquiry and grievance in her eyes. "Also, I called the Qixian Cement Factory and asked, and they said... you went to Hong Kong for vacation with your fiancée."
Fu Jinzhou was stunned. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
So, he hurriedly explained: "Su Li, there must be a misunderstanding here, I didn't..."
He paused, looked into Su Li's eyes, and said firmly, "Believe me, I will investigate this matter thoroughly when I return."
While they were talking, a figure rushed in.
It’s Xu Mingzhe.
Although he was exhausted, he had a nonchalant expression on his face.
"They're all..."
When he saw Li Mo sitting there with gauze wrapped around her head, his nonchalant expression instantly disappeared.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Li Mo smiled and said, "It's okay. I was just chased by a dog and got hit a bit."
"Stitches?"
"Yeah." Li Mo nodded.
"That's going to be ugly for a while."
As he spoke, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, causing him to feel a heart-wrenching pain.
Li Mo glared at him. This guy was talking about something that was not related to her. She didn't sleep well last night because she shaved off a bunch of hair. She looked so ugly.
Fu Jinzhou was relieved to see that Li Mo was not seriously injured.
Seeing Xu Mingzhe coming, I feel more relieved.
He turned around, gently took Su Li's hand, and said softly, "Let's go, I'll take you back and celebrate your birthday for you."
Su Li's knot in her heart was untied at this moment. The person she had been thinking about day and night was right in front of her. How could she refuse him?
"I'll leave Li Mo to you. Take good care of her. I'll take Su Li and leave first."
Xu Mingzhe narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Don't worry."
Before Li Mo could figure out what happened between them last night, the man left again.
As soon as Fu Jinzhou walked out of the house holding Su Li's hand, they met Kang Ping.
"Brother Fu, are you okay?"
He stayed here most of the night last night and didn't go back until two in the morning.
Kang Ping believed from the bottom of his heart that those two people were no match for Fu Jinzhou.
"fine."
Fu Jinzhou stopped, let go of Su Li, took Kang Ping aside and gave him a few simple instructions before leaving with Su Li.
He went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables, all of which Su Li liked to eat.
Then, he took Su Li back to his home.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Jinzhou went into the kitchen and started picking vegetables.
"You really can cook?"
Su Li had never heard him say this before, and wanted to ask when she was buying groceries, but seeing that he was so excited, she didn't spoil his interest.
"We'll know after we see it later."
"You said celebrating my birthday means cooking me a meal?"
Su Li blinked at him.
"Think it's too simple?"
Fu Jinzhou looked at her with a smile, "I want to be with you, just the two of us for a meal and a night. Birthdays are just an excuse for me to be with you."
How could Su Li not understand that she had the same idea.
"Well, do you want some help?"
"No, just sit down and see if I can cook."
Su Li looked at him busy in the kitchen, and an indescribable sense of happiness surged in her heart.
This man was decisive and resolute outside, but when he came home, he was willing to cook for her.
Su Li was delighted because of her special place in his heart.
The tall and handsome man, even now wearing an apron, is still so graceful that people can't take their eyes off him.
The lunch was very sumptuous, with all the dishes that Su Li liked.
Fu Jinzhou kept picking up food for her, his eyes full of doting.
Su Li enjoyed the meal very much. It was the most reassuring meal she had had in a while.
After lunch, the two snuggled on the sofa and watched TV.
The sunlight poured in through the window and fell on them, and the ceiling fan above their heads kept turning, bringing them cool breezes.
A rare warm moment, no worries, no sorrow, only each other.
Fu Jinzhou leaned against Su Li and closed his eyes tiredly.
He said softly, "Su Li, I'm sorry for putting you through this period of time."
His voice was soft, with a hint of apology and heartache.
Su Li turned her head and looked at his tired face, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
She knew how much pressure he was under at work, and this trip to investigate the business model of Hong Kong businessmen was also to find a way out for the cement factory.
I originally wanted to tell him about the manuscript, all the troubles and grievances.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
She didn't want him to worry about her anymore and didn't want to destroy this rare warmth.
In the evening, Kang Ping hurried over.
He walked up to Fu Jinzhou and whispered a few words.
Fu Jinzhou's originally relaxed expression gradually became solemn.
After listening to Kang Ping's report, he turned around and looked at Su Li.
In his eyes, besides heartache, there is more self-blame.
"Su Li, why didn't you tell me about the publication?"
His voice was a little low.
"I...I don't want to worry you."
Su Li didn't expect that he would let Kang Ping investigate the matter.
Fu Jinzhou sighed.
He reached out and took Su Li into his arms, holding her tightly.
"Silly, she came after me, how can I let you bear it alone?"
Fu Jinzhou's voice was low and gentle.
Su Li leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat.
She knows that it is not easy to fall in love, and it is even harder to stay together.
Love between two people is the prerequisite, but honesty is the cornerstone.
"I'm sorry, Jinzhou. From now on...I will never hide anything from you again."
Fu Jinzhou gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Leave this matter to me. I will help you solve it."
Su Li raised her head and looked into his eyes.
There was a firm light flashing in those deep eyes, which made her feel extremely at ease.
"Um."
Su Li nodded gently, snuggled in his arms, and felt his warmth.
At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun poured into the room, stretching the figures of the two people hugging each other very long...
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Fu Jinzhou patted her shoulder.
"Where are you going?"
Su Li didn't want to go anywhere, she just wanted to hold him like this.
"I said I'm going to make up for your birthday, but it's not as simple as just cooking you a meal."
Su Li was puzzled, "What else do you want to do?"
She is already very content to be able to hold the person she loves quietly like this.
"You'll find out when you get there."
Fu Jinzhou took her out and drove to the Li River.
The sky is full of stars and the cool breeze blows away the heat and boredom in my heart.
"Just sit and wait."
As Fu Jinzhou spoke, he took things out of the car, arranged them one by one by the river, and then went back and forth twice.
Then he slowly walked towards Su Li.
As the match lit up, the firework fuse made a "sizzling" sound as it moved along the ground.
Fu Jinzhou sat down beside her with a smile, and then there was a "bang" sound in the air.
The sky is filled with fireworks, brilliant and dazzling.
"Happy birthday!"
"Su Li, after twelve years, I can finally watch the fireworks side by side with you and celebrate your birthday with you."
