Although the corridor floor was covered with soft carpet, the pain when my tailbone hit the ground still brought some clarity back to my confused brain.
The person who brought me up was Fu Qichuan.
I guess I recognized the wrong person.
Perhaps sensing my resistance, Fu Qichuan froze for a moment, then, facing the backlight, sneered, "Are you determined to be with him? When he marries the eldest daughter of the Shen family, you'll be their bridesmaid?"
Zhou Fang sneered, "Are you deliberately judging others by your own standards?"
He relied on his long legs and strode over to me. He helped me up from the ground and smiled faintly at Fu Qichuan. "Mr. Fu, wait a minute. I won't see you off."
Fu Qichuan clenched his hands, suppressing his anger, "You'd better focus your attention on Shen Qingli. Ruan Nanzhi will only be mine."
"She never belonged to anyone."
Zhou Fang said calmly, "She is herself."
Fu Qichuan's eyes turned cold, and he stretched out his hand towards me, probably using the most humble attitude he had ever used in his life.
He thought he was compromising, "Be good and stop making trouble. You can't go with him. Come home with me."
"Whatever happens between me and him, or between you and anyone else, has nothing to do with you."
My head was splitting in pain, but every word I said was clear, "You and I have long been two families. Stop saying things that can easily lead to misunderstandings."
Hearing this, Fu Qichuan was filled with a rage that could destroy the world, and his tone was terrifying, "Who are you afraid of misunderstanding?"
He glanced at Zhou Fang and sneered, "Are you afraid of him? Ruan Nanzhi, don't tell me you're really attracted to him. Don't use him to piss me off."
I wanted to laugh when I heard that. “Why can’t I be attracted to him?”
After I finished speaking, I don’t know if it was the alcohol or the rebellious psychology, but I raised my hand and grabbed Zhou Fang’s collar, stood on tiptoe, and my lips brushed across his cheek.
Even though I was drunk, I could still seem to hear the sound of something beating violently.
I don’t know if it’s Zhou Fang’s or mine.
I looked at Fu Qichuan again, "Do you believe it now?"
His face was incredibly dark, and before he could make any move, Zhou Fang forcefully pulled me into his arms and looked at Fu Qichuan.
"Ah Ruan can't drink much, I'm sorry to have embarrassed Mr. Fu."
Although he said it with apology, his tone was a little wanton.
Ah Ruan.
The sudden and affectionate name made me stunned.
Fu Qichuan's fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. His anger almost swallowed him up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want to steal someone's love?"
"Rob?"
Zhou Fang smiled casually. "It's her choice. It's not my turn to snatch it away. However, if you have any tricks, Mr. Fu, feel free to use them. Don't show any mercy."
"Remember what you said yesterday!"
Fu Qichuan's expression was sinister, and he sneered, "Don't regret your choice in the future."
After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over me. In addition to a hint of pain, there was also a strong aura of confidence in victory.
Then, he turned around and strode away!
“…”
I know his methods are cruel and decisive, and I don't want him to implicate innocent people.
He raised his foot to chase after him, but Zhou Fang grabbed his collar and led him into the room.
I felt dizzy and staggered, and he threw me onto the sofa. My tailbone hurt so much that I grimaced and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"What am I doing?"
Zhou Fang had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold and his tone was extremely harsh, "Why did you chase him just now? Do you regret what you said? Did you fail in your hard-to-get tactics and couldn't help yourself?"
My heart suddenly felt a pang.
It felt like being stabbed unexpectedly.
I pointed at the door and said coldly, "Get out!"
"Ruan Nanzhi, who gave you this bad habit? Can you please talk nicely if you have something to say?"
"Have you explained it properly?"
I glared at him unconvinced. "What right do you have to blame me? Where's your fiancée? Doesn't she need to be with her? Come see me when you have time?"
"You've been drinking so much, and the thorns on your body haven't diminished at all?"
He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and finally, he chuckled, as if accepting his fate, half-knelt in front of me, and his voice softened.
"Okay, I was in a hurry and didn't speak to you properly. I accept the punishment."
I subconsciously asked, "What punishment do you want to accept?"
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I be kissed again?"
“…”
Only then did I realize that his ears were red.
She shook her head, trying not to be controlled by alcohol, and looked at him soberly, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to give you an explanation."
I frowned, "Didn't we make this clear last night?"
"That's just you unilaterally thinking you've made it clear."
Zhou Fang poured me a cup of warm water, picked up his phone and sent a message before continuing:
"I've already sent her back to the Shen family. Ruan Nanzhi, before I told you last night that I wouldn't wait for her, I had already thought it through. Call me someone else or a scumbag, but I truly do love you."
"I can't like two people at the same time. Now that I've opened up to you, I won't get entangled with others."
I squeezed my palms and asked, "What about Shen Qingli?"
"First, find out whether she is Lili or not."
Zhou Fang's brows were slightly gloomy. "All signs point to her, but my grandmother and I both think she's not. We're already doing a paternity test."
I pursed my lips, "What if it is?"
"Before I came to see you, I discussed breaking off the engagement with grandma."
He tucked my messy bangs behind my ears and glared at me with his brown eyes. "Whether she is or not, I will cancel the engagement. Ruan Nanzhi, you can trust me for once, ok?"
His tone was his usual casual one.
In the room where you could hear a pin drop, something unknown and strange seemed to be spreading.
I quickly avoided his gaze and said, "Let's talk about it later."
That person has made me believe in him many times.
He didn't marry Fu Jinan either.
The final result is just like this.
I don't think I can withstand the moonlight in other people's hearts.
It’s just that... he spent more time with me and was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm. But when Shen Qingli started to spend time with him day and night, those promises and excitement from her childhood came to her mind again.
I became what Jiang Lai called cannon fodder.
“Ding Dong——”
The doorbell rang suddenly. I thought it was Jiang Lai coming back and went to open the door, but Zhou Fang didn't let me move. "I'll go."
He walked to the door, thanked the person outside, and took the box of things back.
He raised his chin slightly and said, "Go take a shower."
“???”
I took a look at what he was holding in his hand. I didn't know what it was, my mind skipped a beat, and I covered my collar tightly with both hands.
"I said, let's talk about it later! Besides, although I'm not divorced, I'm Zhou Fang, and I'm not that kind of casual person..."
