Chapter 20 Chapter 20 He Can't Wait
Chapter 20
The day Fu Zhou's parents died, he had just celebrated his seventh birthday.
Without the protection of his parents, he had to deal with various relatives. They claimed to be good to him, but in fact they were all targeting the Fu Group.
In private, there are calculations and plans.
Fortunately, Mr. Fu gave up recuperation and rushed back from abroad, so Fu Zhou finally had a stable residence, but he dared not neglect it for a single day.
Work hard and study hard to make yourself stronger and bigger.
Over the past twenty years, he seemed to be in a prosperous position, but in fact he was always in a vortex, and those relatives never gave up the idea of seizing power.
Unfortunately, they are all too stupid.
Repeated attempts failed.
He pinched his brows and heard Shang Ziyi hum, "Are you okay?"
If other women heard Fu Zhou's almost confession, they would probably scream with joy. Shang Ziyi is indeed not an ordinary woman.
It suits him perfectly.
Fu Zhou put down his hand and said, "I'm not sick."
Shang Ziyi: "You're not sick, what nonsense are you talking about?"
She took a bite of the mango and asked, "Have you booked a restaurant yet? If you have, please send me the table."
Fu Zhou adjusted his chair and leaned back, his expression no longer as gloomy as before. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, then fell flat. His voice was normal, "It's ordered. I'll send it to your phone."
Shang Ziyi: "Oh, I forgot to tell you about my dietary restrictions."
Fu Zhou lowered his head and sent a WeChat message without blinking. He said calmly, "I know your dietary restrictions."
"You know?" Now it was Shang Ziyi's turn to be surprised. She glanced at Mrs. Shang, who pointed at her phone and whispered, "Mommy, go answer the phone."
Shang Ziyi nodded. After Madam Shang left, she took the pillow and held it in her arms, finding a comfortable position to lean against it. "How do you know what I like? You must be lying."
She's not a celebrity, and her preferences aren't posted online, so how could he possibly know?
"If you pay attention, you will always know." He said casually.
This sounded even more off-putting. Shang Ziyi sat up straight, "You said you had no intentions towards me, but I think you do. Tell me, what are you planning?"
Shang Ziyi doesn't understand business, but she has watched a lot of business-related TV dramas and a lot of the popular short stories recently, such as the one about giving birth to ninety-nine sons. Every time she sees such melodramatic stories, her hair stands on end.
Combined with the current situation, she felt more and more that there was something wrong with Fu Zhou.
"Why aren't you talking?" Shang Ziyi asked, "Are you feeling guilty? Do you really have other motives for marrying me?"
"I heard that you love acquiring companies. You're not thinking of acquiring my company, are you? Let me tell you, I don't have many shares in the company. You can't take over from me."
"Shang Ziyi." Fu Zhou waited for her to finish speaking before speaking slowly, "After we get married, we'll be a family. It's not a good thing to be suspicious of each other. I want to make three rules for you."
What?
Three rules?!
This was the first time someone wanted to make a rule with Shang Ziyi.
"you say."
“Number one: We have to be honest about it.”
"I have no problem with that, but I don't know if you can do it." Shang Ziyi sneered, "What about the second one?"
Fu Zhou: "Second: Don't be suspicious of each other. If you have any problems, you can talk about them."
Shang Ziyi curled her lips: "Sure, no problem."
"And the third one?"
The breathing on the other end of the receiver became long and steady. Shang Ziyi lowered her head and stared at her nails in a daze when she heard him say, "Third, I don't want to be a fake couple with you."
"What do you mean?" Shang Ziyi blinked.
"It's not a fake couple, nor a contract couple." Fu Zhou said, "It's a real couple, the kind that sleeps in the same bed."
“…”
Shang Ziyi was silent at first, then she covered her face with the pillow, grunted a few times, took it off, and said into the receiver, "Why are you bringing a bed so late at night?"
"Moreover, who wants to be a real couple with you? I don't want it."
"You really don't want it?"
"Ah, no, no, that's all."
Shang Ziyi's coquettish voice came from the other end of the receiver. Surprisingly, Fu Zhou was not angry. The corners of his lips curled up and he uttered unruly words lightly.
"You accepted my ring, there's no point in regretting it."
Shang Ziyi: "Then I'll return the ring to you."
"I never take back anything I give away." Fu Zhou glanced sideways, watching a young couple strolling slowly, leaning against each other in the rain. He was mesmerized by the sight, and only came to his senses when Shang Ziyi called him. He continued, "Don't get up too late on the day we meet."
"What? What's wrong with getting up late?" Shang Ziyi always gets up whenever she wants, and it's even worse after she got pregnant. The servants don't dare to call her, and Shang Sen doesn't allow her to.
Mrs. Shang felt sorry for her pregnancy and was reluctant to let her cry.
Fu Zhou's Adam's apple rolled slowly, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you get up late."
The reason why he mentioned getting up just now was because before leaving the old house, the old man told him that other elders would accompany him on the day of the meeting to show his importance.
It's a subtle reminder that these elders are not easy to deal with, so it's best to be thorough in everything so that they can't find any fault.
Fu Zhou has been rigorous for more than 20 years, but suddenly he doesn't want to be rigorous anymore.
It’s none of other people’s business whether he gets married or not.
His woman can sleep with him as long as she wants, and no one can interfere.
Shang Ziyi didn't know what was going on on his end and thought he was teasing her, "Hey, you're so annoying. One moment you get up early, the next you act so casual. My cousin said you know your limits, but I think you're just okay."
"What else did your cousin say about me?" Fu Zhou really wanted to hear what her family thought of him.
"I was praising you." Shang Ziyi thought about it and thought he couldn't say that, as it would make him proud. He coughed lightly and said, "No, I was criticizing you. I said you're old and it's hard for an old cow to eat young grass."
"You're a thirty-year-old man, and you're still messing with me."
"If you only work all day and ignore your family, you won't be very happy with me."
"There are too many social engagements."
"He is indifferent."
Shang Ziyi talked for a long time, and when she saw that Fu Zhou hadn't finished, she asked him, "Why don't you explain?"
"You know me quite well," Fu Zhou said, "but there's one thing you forgot to mention."
"Which point?"
"I'm still very capable."
It took Shang Ziyi a long time to realize that he had teased her. She said in a coquettish voice, "Fu Zhou, you're going too far."
It was rare for Fu Zhou to speak to someone so relaxedly. He had indeed gone too far. He said softly, "I apologize."
"Not sincere enough."
“How can sincerity be considered sufficient?”
"Kneel before me." Shang Ziyi deliberately posed a difficult question. It was raining outside, so he couldn't show up. Besides, even if it wasn't raining, he couldn't kneel before her.
"Do you really want me to kneel?"
"Well, I want you to kneel."
It turns out that talking to him isn't so boring after all. This was Shang Ziyi's most intuitive feeling at the moment. She gently stroked her belly and said, "Will you kneel?"
Fu Zhou: "Kneel."
Shang Ziyi thought it was a joke, "If you lie to me, you're a puppy."
"If I'm a puppy, what's in your belly?" Fu Zhou's face was reflected in the light. "Puppy?"
Shang Ziyi: “…”
There was no way to talk anymore. Shang Ziyi puffed up her cheeks and said, "I'm going to sleep. I don't want to chat with you anymore."
"Going to bed so early?"
"Can't I get my beauty sleep?"
"Okay." Fu Zhou followed her lead and asked, "Do you still want me to kneel?"
"You must be doing this on purpose." Shang Ziyi said, "How can I ask you to kneel when I can't even see you?"
"Come down." Fuzhou said, "I'll kneel down for you."
"Go down?" Shang Ziyi's eyelashes trembled slightly. The next second, she heard a car horn. "You...really came?"
Fu Zhou: "I came to ask for some tea."
-
Shang Ziyi didn't come down until twenty minutes later. There was no other way. The little princess was very delicate and had to put on makeup when meeting people. This was her fastest speed. It would usually take her at least two hours.
In the living room, Shang Sen was asking something. Seeing Shang Ziyi coming down, he pretended to be angry and said, "Why did you come down just now?"
Shang Ziyi is the best at acting like a spoiled child. She said in a coquettish voice, "I'm just dressing up. I can't lose face for my dad."
Shang Sen: "My daughter is naturally beautiful even without any makeup."
"Pfft" Shang Ziyi laughed out loud, "Dad, you said last time that Mommy is the one with natural beauty, but I'm not. Be careful or Mommy will punish you."
Shang Sen: “Naughty.”
Mrs. Shang tried to smooth things over, "It's ok, you two, father and daughter, Azhou is still here."
Fu Zhou curled his lips and said nothing.
Mrs. Shang winked at Shang Sen, who reluctantly cooperated, "I have something to do with your mom, you two should talk first."
It was inconvenient in the living room, so Shang Ziyi took Fu Zhou upstairs.
This time it's the third floor.
The world that belongs to Shang Ziyi.
Shang Ziyi took him to the living room, crossed her arms and glared at him, "Why are you here now?"
"Didn't you ask me to come?"
"When did I ever tell you that?"
"You said you wanted me to come over and kneel for you to see."
“…”
Shang Ziyi suspected that he had a mental problem. She was just teasing him. "So you really came here?"
Fu Zhou: "Well, I'm afraid you'll call me a puppy."
Shang Ziyi: “…”
Shang Ziyi pouted, "Okay, then kneel down."
She just said that.
Unexpectedly, Fu Zhou actually knelt on the ground.
Shang Ziyi stopped him, "What are you doing?"
Fu Zhou took out a ring from his pocket and put it on her ring finger. "Didn't you say you didn't like the ring you wore last time? I designed this one myself."
He came to give me a ring.
"..." It was so sudden that Shang Ziyi was a little confused. She looked at the ring in shock. This ring was indeed much more beautiful than the previous one, and there were words engraved inside the ring.
His and her initials.
Shang Ziyi's face showed a rare look of helplessness. She pursed her lips and said, "Even if it's a ring, there's no need to go out in the rain. We can do it another day."
"Not another day." Fu Zhou glared at her, "I can't wait."
…
After Fu Zhou left, Shang Ziyi kept smiling foolishly in front of the mirror and took photos and sent them to Fan Xue.
Fan Xue was full of flattery.
"Wow, what a beautiful diamond ring! It blinded my titanium eyes."
"The princess has great taste to choose such a beautiful ring."
"The princess' fingers are also super, super beautiful."
"No, my heart can't beat."
“…”
After she finished typing, Shang Ziyi sent a voice message, "Guess who sent this?"
Wearing it on the ring finger, you can tell who gave it to you without even thinking.
Xuexue: "Mr. Fu?"
Princess: "Well, I find that he is not so stupid."
Xuexue: "Hehe, do you like it?"
Princess: "Who doesn't like diamond rings?"
Xuexue: "I'm asking if you like to be the one giving diamond rings to?"
Shang Ziyi blushed at such a straightforward question and replied shyly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like it."
Fan Xue followed her and said, "That's right. We are fairies. How can we like ordinary people?"
Later, Fan Xue and Shang Ziyi met twice, and she wore the ring every time they met.
Fan Xue joked, "Don't you like it?"
Shang Ziyi: "Oh, I don't like it."
"Why wear it if you don't like it?"
"I wear it to match the dress I'm wearing, otherwise I wouldn't wear it."
Fan Xue didn't expose her duplicity. "We're meeting tomorrow. Are you nervous?"
Shang Ziyi drank the drink through a straw and shook her head, "I'm not nervous."
But when tomorrow really comes, I'm still very nervous.
After changing five sets of clothes, "Mommy, what do you think of this one?"
Mrs. Shang: "Our baby looks good in anything."
Shang Ziyi stood in front of the mirror and immediately found the drawback, "No, this waistline is not suitable, it makes me look fat."
She changed into her sixth outfit, and when she was done, she asked, "What about this one?"
The purple long skirt covers the ankles and has a cinched waist. Both the texture and drape are very good.
Mrs. Shang: "This one is also fine."
Shang Ziyi looked at it and thought it was good. "Okay, this is it."
After putting on the clothes, it was time to put on makeup. The stylist had been waiting for a long time. Seeing this, she walked forward and said, "Miss Shang, let's get started."
Shang Ziyi nodded, "Okay."
Although I didn't sleep in and got up early today, I was still more than ten minutes late.
Fu Zhou drank tea leisurely, occasionally chatting with the old man. The other elders of the Fu family were all livid. "They are late for the in-laws' meeting. Businesses are really losing their manners."
"Azhou, have you found out clearly? I feel that the merchant family and our Fu family are not compatible at all."
"Yes, I also heard that the young lady from that merchant's shop can do nothing but spend money."
"Although she is pregnant with your child, who knows if it is your flesh and blood? If it is not, then our Fu family will become a laughing stock. I think it is better to-"
"Pa" is the sound of the cup falling to the ground.
Everyone stopped.
Fu Zhou raised his eyes and glanced over, "Shang Ziyi is the one I have chosen. If anyone of you talks nonsense again, get out immediately!"
Some people are shameless and really think he cares about them coming.
If the old man hadn't been so kind, he wouldn't even want to see them.
"I'll say this one last time. Shang Ziyi is the mother of my child, the future mistress of the Fu family, and the wife of the president of the Fu Group. To slander her is to slander me."
