Chapter 158 Dreaming Again
Although the money was indeed hot, Shen Nuo was unwilling to return it and was "forced" to accept it. She even received a friend request from the financial advisor he recommended that night.
Fu Chuji's illness came and went quickly. He was almost well the next day and could go back to work as usual.
But unfortunately, Shen Nuo was infected by him.
But she didn't have a fever, just a headache and nasal congestion, and she felt a little listless.
She was lying on the bed wrapped tightly in the quilt, her voice sounding nasal: "Go away, don't worry about me, I just need a good sleep."
He frowned, took off his coat and said, "I'll stay home with you."
Shen Nuo leaned over and glanced at him. Just as he was about to say something, a phone call came in.
He picked up the phone, and since she was close, she could vaguely hear that there was a problem with some project and he had to go there in person.
"You go for me." He replied indifferently.
Shen Nuo emphasized: "I'm fine, even if you insist on staying, you can only watch me sleep next to you."
"Who said that?"
Fu Chuji raised his eyelids and looked at her, his tone indifferent: "I can still sleep with you and warm your bed."
Shen Nuo: “…”
Fang Siyue on the other end of the phone: "..."
He hung up the phone quickly, fearing that he would hear anything inappropriate for children.
Unable to persuade him, Shen Nuo was too lazy to persuade him anymore. She rolled her eyes and pulled the quilt up to cover her head again.
She had a terrible headache and just wanted to have a good sleep.
She closed her eyes, heard a rustling sound in her ears, the quilt was lifted up, and then she was held in someone's arms.
Without even opening her eyes, she put her arms around his waist, stuffed her cold hands into his shirt, and used his body temperature to warm her hands.
Warming the bed, isn't that the way to warm it?
She touched his strong muscles, thinking about things in a daze, and fell asleep unknowingly.
She hadn't dreamed for a long time, but this time she started dreaming again.
In her dream, she saw Su Muxue. It was clearly the same face, but this time she looked a little more haggard and tired, with a dark area under her eyes and bloodshot under her eyes.
Shen Nuo was like a formless ghost, always following her.
She watched her answer a phone call, not knowing what was said on the other end of the line, and her face became even worse.
After hanging up the phone, she sat on the sofa for a long time with her eyes blank and her face ashen.
It was unknown how much time had passed before she finally regained consciousness and walked into the kitchen without saying a word.
She picked up the fruit knife on the shelf and walked outside. Shen Nuo wondered if she would still be in the mood to eat fruit in this state.
The next second, she was seen putting on her coat and hiding the fruit knife inside her clothes.
Shen Nuo: “…”
It can't be what she thinks.
Su Muxue picked up the key on the table and walked out the door. Seeing this, Shen Nuo hurriedly followed.
Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. Before she could get on the car, she had to watch her get in and leave.
She had no choice but to go back into the house.
She saw the phone on the table that she hadn't taken away in time. It lit up. With the password, she could only see the latest message:
[Brother: Dad is sick, come to the hospital now.]
Shen Nuo's mind raced, and then he saw another message pop up:
【Brother: Don’t do anything stupid. You can’t afford to offend him.】
Shen Nuo didn't know who that "he" was, and she silently replied in her heart: It's a pity that she should do something stupid now.
She looked around the house again and finally saw a photo in the bedroom.
The two people in the photo are Su Muxue and Fu Chuji.
The two of them were cutting the cake. Compared with Su Muxue's smiling face, his expression was obviously much colder.
Although it was not visible on his face, based on Shen Nuo's understanding of him, he showed this expression, most likely because he was still a little impatient.
Shen Nuo picked up the photo and looked at the cake on it. It had a white background with a red border and a small "囍" character on it.
Apparently, this was supposed to be an engagement cake.
This also made her realize that this should be the plot in the original book, and they were already engaged at this time.
Although she knew that she probably didn't exist in this world and that it was just a parallel world at best, Shen Nuo still felt a little unhappy.
"You are so beautiful."
She said this in a sarcastic tone, put the photo down again, and looked elsewhere.
Although the two are engaged, it is obvious that Su Muxue lives here alone, and there is no sign of other people living here.
She noticed something flashing in the unclosed drawer, and when she walked over to take a look, she saw a ring with a diamond on it that looked like it must be worth a lot of money.
She glanced at the ring and then at the photo above the bed.
It is exactly the same as the one Su Muxue is wearing on her hand in the photo.
Shen Nuo looked down at her hand. The ring she was wearing today was exactly the one Fu Chuji had given her.
“…”
She closed the drawer, out of sight, out of mind.
She turned around and prepared to go out, but suddenly she felt dizzy and the surrounding environment was changing rapidly. She was so dizzy that she could hardly stand.
When the feeling faded, she was already somewhere else.
She was looking at the Fu Group building standing in front of her, confused, when she saw Su Muxue's figure walking straight past her.
She was wearing a loose windbreaker, her face was pale without a trace of blood, and she was hunched over, obviously protecting the knife on her body.
Shen Nuo: “…”
She seemed to already know who she was targeting.
She followed Su Muxue and watched her come to the front desk and introduce herself, but the other party still smiled and said that they had to ask Mr. Fu for permission before letting her go up.
She made a phone call to inquire, and then signaled Su Muxue that she could go up.
The others couldn't see Shen Nuo, and she followed Su Muxue into the elevator.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, her body was trembling slightly, she bit her lips tightly, her lips were pale, and cold sweat even seeped out of her face, as if she would faint at any time.
Shen Nuo watched the numbers showing the floors jump up and down, and finally stopped at the eighteenth floor, and the elevator door slowly opened.
Speaking of which, she had never come to the company to find Fu Chuji. The only time she came to Fu Group was to see Fu Congzhang.
Su Muxue came out of the elevator with her head down. She walked all the way to the door of Fu Chuji's office and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
A voice that was familiar to Shen Nuo sounded from inside, but the voice was extremely cold.
She vaguely recalled that he seemed to be like this when she first met him.
But at that time she was not familiar enough with him and had no idea what he was thinking.
Su Muxue opened the door and walked in, and Shen Nuo followed her in with a swagger.
Fu Chuji sat at his desk with a stack of documents in front of him. He looked up at Su Muxue with an indifferent expression, his tone icy and without a trace of warmth:
"What else do you want?"
