Chapter 68: Only those who Chu Siyi doesn’t want can get her turn
Wen Liang looked up at him, feeling incredible.
During the time she came to the Fu family, Fu Zheng's attitude had always been lukewarm, neither distant nor close. Why would he suddenly bring her a cake?
"Don't like it?" Fu Zheng asked back when he saw her expression.
Wen Liang shook his head, then nodded hurriedly.
How can I not like it?
She had seen her classmates eat there. The cakes from this bakery were very expensive. She was lucky enough to try their matcha cake once and the taste was unforgettable.
At that time, his father's salary was enough to support the two of them, and he was never stingy with Wen Liang. However, the cakes in the afternoon were expensive, just like afternoon tea, which was a luxury. For Wen Liang, who came from an ordinary family, it was very precious.
"As long as you like it." Fu Zheng smiled faintly and turned to go upstairs.
Wen Liang sat there blankly, looking at the paper bag in front of her, still in disbelief. It was not until Fu Zheng was about to go upstairs that she reacted and shouted towards the stairs, "Thank you, second brother."
Regardless of whether Fu Zheng heard it or not, Wen Liang knew that her voice was full of sweetness.
This was the first time, the first time their conversation was more than just a simple greeting.
It seemed that with the cake in front of them, their relationship had taken a big step forward.
She held the cake wrapper and looked at it left and right, her heart bubbling with satisfaction.
At this moment, even the boring math and physics homework became cute. She put the cake next to her and secretly told herself that if she finished her homework quickly, she would be able to eat the cake.
That day, as expected, she finished her homework in half an hour less than before and carefully opened the cake package as if she was treating some rare treasure.
After opening the package, she didn't rush to eat it, but took a few photos with her mobile phone.
No matter how I take the photos, I am not satisfied.
She picked and chose, and finally picked out a suitable one. She posted it on her Moments. There was no text, only a cake emoji.
Representing her silent joy.
It represents her girlish thoughts that she cannot express.
It represents her most youthful and innocent love at that time.
That day she felt that the Black Forest cake in the afternoon was particularly delicious, a hundred times better than the matcha cake.
Later, she often bought Black Forest cake from this store herself, and it gradually became a habit.
Rather than saying that she liked the cake from this shop, it would be better to say that she liked the person who sent her the cake.
Only today did she realize that the cake was something that no one else wanted.
The love she had treasured for so many years was now easily accessible to Chu Siyi.
Only those things that Chu Siyi doesn’t want can be hers.
Just like Fu Zheng, he could only marry Chu Siyi if she broke up with him.
…
At 11:20 pm, the gate of Galaxy Bay Villa opened and a black Cayenne drove in.
"The gentleman has arrived."
The driver turned on the interior lights and looked in the back seat.
Fu Zheng was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Upon hearing this, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He opened his eyes, pushed open the car door, got out, and walked into the house.
When I opened the door, the room was dark.
Fu Zheng sobered up a little and pressed the switch at the door. The living room suddenly became bright and the light was dazzling.
The living room was empty, with only the bright light shining on his lonely figure.
Fu Zheng stood in the middle of the living room, looked around, and felt that something was wrong.
But I can't tell what's wrong.
He went to the living room to pour himself a glass of warm water, and when he came out, he finally discovered it.
In the past, he would come home very late after social events and the lights in the living room would always be on.
Wen Liang sometimes watches TV, sometimes plays with her phone, and sometimes falls asleep on the sofa because she is too sleepy, waiting for him to come back and carry her to the master bedroom to rest together.
He knew she was waiting for him to come back.
On the day he returned from a business trip at the beginning of the month, Wen Liang was still waiting for him until she fell asleep on the sofa.
But after he filed for divorce, it never happened again. When he came home at night, the living room was always pitch black and cold.
"Sir, you're back." Auntie heard the noise in the living room and came out to check.
"Um."
"You've been drinking. How about I make you some hangover soup?"
"Go ahead."
Fu Zheng took a sip of water, sat down on the sofa, leaned against the back of the sofa, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead tiredly.
After a while, the aunt brought the hangover soup to the coffee table in the living room and called Fu Zheng to wake him up: "Sir, drink it while it's hot."
"Yeah." Fu Zheng opened his eyes and responded softly, but did not move.
Seeing the sobering soup, which was smoking, the aunt went back to the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a plate of fresh fruit and placed it in front of Fu Zheng. "Sir, if you don't want to drink the sobering soup, have some fruit."
Some fruits in the fruit plate also have the effect of sobering up.
"Trouble."
"It's not a big deal. I prepared these fruits for my wife, but she didn't seem to have a good appetite today. She didn't eat much of dinner before going upstairs, and she didn't even eat the fruit plate."
Fu Zheng paused for a moment after hearing this, "Is Madam's stomach still not feeling well?"
"It seems that only today is not good. You look a little worried." Auntie reminded secretly.
She knew that the two did not successfully divorce that day, and it must be because of Mr. Fu's intervention.
But no matter what, this marriage has taken a turn for the better.
In her heart, she still hoped that the two of them could return to their previous harmony.
"I understand." Fu Zheng nodded, tasted a few bites of fruit and went upstairs to rest.
The next day, when Fu Zheng came back from running, Wen Liang was already sitting in the restaurant and his aunt was serving breakfast.
Fu Zheng went upstairs, took a shower and changed his clothes, then came back and sat down in front of Wen Liang.
"morning."
Wen Liang lowered his head to eat, "Morning."
The table became quiet, and the two of them ate their meals.
After a moment, Wen Liang put down his chopsticks and stood up. "I'm done eating. I'm going to the company first."
Fu Zheng also put down his chopsticks, "I'm done eating too, I'll join you."
The two sat together in the back seat of the car.
The driver drove quietly.
The atmosphere in the car was silent.
No one spoke.
I don’t know when it started, but they talked less and less to each other.
Neither of you is a talkative person, and you were not so silent when you were together in the past. Wen Liang would deliberately find topics to chat with him.
But now Wen Liang rarely speaks.
I spent most of my time looking out the window, silent and dazed.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Fu Zheng broke the quiet atmosphere in the car.
"No."
"Then why don't you speak?"
"There's nothing to say."
There was nothing much to say; they had reached the point where they had nothing left to talk about.
They didn't talk much to each other before, but it wasn't as dead silent as it is now.
Fu Zheng could clearly sense that Wen Liang was in a bad mood.
Auntie said this was the case when she came back from the company yesterday.
He said, "Are you dissatisfied with Wu Ling's punishment? She has already admitted her fault to me for not teaching her interns well. Fine her half of her year-end bonus, which is already quite a lot."
Thinking of the ambiguous words Wu Ling said on WeChat, Fu Zheng felt that Wen Liang was in a bad mood, which might be related to Wu Ling.
Wen Liang smiled, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "Boss Fu really thinks that it was done by Wu Ling's interns?"
It's really unbelievable that Mr. Fu is so simple.
Fu Zheng asked in confusion, "You mean Wu Ling did it, pushing the intern to take the blame? Then why did she do that? She lost half of her year-end bonus. What good would this do for her?"
Wen Liang looked up at him and said, "What if I say that Wu Ling likes you and that's why she always dislikes me?"
