Chapter 374 Her protective nature towards her family VS His soft heart towards his wronged child 32
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Zhiyi clutched her clothes, her fingers tightening and loosening, feeling very nervous.
Although the two were about to separate, and he had reminded her before that she might go on a blind date, nothing actually happened.
Deep down, she knew she was just bluffing. She didn't have the guts to do anything behind his back before they officially separated.
Fu Chengyan must know what she was thinking.
But Ji Chen was different from those who used him as a pretext... She had indeed thought that if there was really no other way, she would have to rely on him to get rid of Fu Chengyan, so she had always maintained a friendship with him.
Even though they both knew what the other was thinking—he was interested in her, she pretended not to know and kept him hanging.
If Fu Chengyan really finds out about this, he definitely won't let her off easily.
He's such a petty and domineering person.
Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but bite her lip.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Is there something you can't tell me?" Fu Chengyan continued to press, his patience gradually wearing thin.
Jiang Zhiyi had no choice but to reach out and hug him, pressing her head against his chest.
"...It belonged to a friend. I don't know why it was in my pocket. He came to the store today and I saw him smoking. My dad also likes to smoke, and I'd never seen this kind before, so I asked him a few more questions, wanting to buy one for him. But he said they didn't have it, so I didn't ask any more questions. I really don't know why it's on me..."
Jiang Zhiyi knew she couldn't hide it from him.
When he gets serious, you can see right through him.
He decided to tell the story in a half-truthful way and steered the conversation toward Jiang Yongfu.
She was indeed even more surprised than him when she saw it; she never expected something like this to happen.
Fu Chengyan stared into her eyes for a long time; her face was completely innocent.
After a long pause, he tossed the cigarette pack aside, his voice somewhat cold: "From now on, if you want to give your father anything, you can tell me, and I'll have someone prepare it. Don't ask anyone else for anything. This thing's been opened; can you really give it away? Don't you think you have enough trash at home?"
Jiang Zhiyi nodded in agreement, and continued, "Isn't this good? I thought it was something special that was hard to buy, that it was supposed to be for special purposes, but it turns out there's nothing special about it. I won't ask any more questions in the future."
She took his hand again and played with a few of his fingers.
Fu Chengyan intertwined his fingers with hers and said, "What things you usually eat and use that you bring home for them aren't specially provided? When have I ever mistreated you? Don't be silly and ask me for anything you want in the future, or you'll be scammed without even realizing it."
"Oh... I didn't know that before." She snorted.
"Let's go." He didn't ask any more questions, let go of her hand, started the car, and drove away.
Jiang Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but she was still unsure. She felt that he had not yet dispelled his doubts and seemed a little angry.
...
The next afternoon. In the dimly lit bedroom.
Jiang Zhiyi sat up in bed, her hair disheveled and draped over her shoulders.
Her lips moved slightly, her throat felt dry, she wiped her eyes, and her thoughts drifted.
Last night, Fu Chengyan started causing trouble as soon as he got back from his social engagements.
She had assumed that after being together for so long, he probably had long since given up on that idea.
But unexpectedly, it was he who had been restraining himself all along.
Putting aside their years of relationship, even if he truly had no feelings for her at all... even if it was just because he liked her body, he probably wouldn't let her go.
She couldn't help but sigh, feeling increasingly that the situation was very bad.
Just as she was still in a daze, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Awake?" Fu Chengyan asked.
Thinking about what he did last night, Jiang Zhiyi was still a little angry. She turned her head away and ignored him, not wanting to say a word to him.
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
There was no response from the room for a long time.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Fu Chengyan made arrangements himself. He made a phone call downstairs and asked someone to prepare something in the kitchen.
He poured her another glass of warm water; there were also birth control pills on the table. They had used protection last night, but she was so restless that an accident happened.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't see the medicine; she only thought he was going to feed her water, so she angrily pushed his hand away, saying, "I won't drink it."
Fu Chengyan watched her reaction, squinted and thought for a while, then simply put down the water glass.
"If you don't want to drink, then don't. If you really get pregnant, then give birth to the baby."
