I suddenly stood up, tiptoed, and threw myself into his arms.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him very tightly.
"So enthusiastic?"
He was very pleased and rubbed the back of my head. "Have you thought about what I asked you to think about?"
"I've thought it through."
As soon as I opened my mouth, my eyes swept over Fu Qichuan, who was standing at the door with a gloomy face.
Before I could say anything, Fu Qichuan flexed his bony fingers and tapped lightly on the door panel, "Wife, it's time to go home."
"I'll handle it."
Zhou Fang patted my head, gently let me go, and tried to turn around.
"Zhou Fang."
I called out to him. He seemed to sense something, and his lean body stiffened, but he still answered me, "Huh? What's wrong?"
I didn't dare look him in the eye. I mustered all my strength and spoke in a sparse voice, "He's here to pick me up."
He twitched his lower lip, but it wasn't a smile. His tone was dazed. "What did you say?"
"I've had enough fun. It's time for me to go back to my hometown and be Mrs. Fu."
I shrugged casually, "Zhou Fang, let's go back to our respective positions."
…
I cruelly abandoned him, just like Fu Qichuan abandoned me in the basement that time.
Fu Qichuan put his arm around my shoulder and left.
Just like a loving couple.
The moment the elevator door closed, I broke free from his hand and took a step back. "Fu Qichuan, this month doesn't include sleeping with me, right?"
Such terrible words.
I was quiet, as if I was talking business with a client.
"certainly……"
He took out a disinfectant tissue and wiped my fingers one by one, "Not included."
I met his gaze and continued, "I won't move out of the old house, and I won't live with you."
"Keep the chastity for him?"
A sneer flashed across his brows. "Then as Mrs. Fu, what obligations are you prepared to fulfill?"
"For example, taking care of the mistress during her confinement period?"
I said calmly.
Fu Qichuan's face suddenly turned cold. The elevator door opened, he grabbed my wrist and strode out, quickly stuffing me into the car.
"Ruan Nanzhi, this Mrs. Fu means nothing to you anymore?"
I moved away, "There are still some."
The man's expression eased slightly, and just as he was about to speak, I murmured two words: "Shackles."
The dream I thought about day and night in the past.
The person you always want to catch.
An identity that makes me ecstatic.
Now it's all shackles.
I was so bound that it was difficult for me to even breathe.
Fu Qichuan was stunned for a long time, as if struck by lightning. He finally calmed down and told the driver, "Go home."
I insisted, "I said, I don't want to stay in the old house."
His voice was cold and stern, "It's not up to you."
"Are you going to threaten me with Zhou Fang?"
"You can understand it this way."
"Oh, okay."
I knew how to irritate him. I stared at him and said word by word, "As long as you stop making things difficult for him, anything is fine!"
His veins popped out, he gritted his teeth and sneered, "Can I sleep with you?"
"Fu Qichuan,"
I smiled and said softly, "If you want to kill me, it's not impossible."
His eyelids instantly turned red, and he reached out to touch my head, but because I subconsciously dodged backwards, he was stopped in mid-air.
I ignored him and turned my head to look out the window.
The night was frighteningly dark.
The scenes upstairs just now kept flashing through my mind.
Zhou Fang grabbed me, his fingertips feeling cold.
He asked me, "Did someone threaten you? Ruan Nanzhi, I'm warning you, you can do anything, but don't do anything stupid."
He refused to let go, "Ruan Nanzhi, Ruan Nanzhi..."
I was a little dazed and seemed to hear a nasal sound.
I said, "You're overthinking it, Zhou Fang. I'm Mrs. Fu. Husband and wife always quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. You'll understand when you get married."
His eyes were so dark that he wanted to eat me whole, but he smiled and asked sarcastically, "Wait for me to get married? You really want me to get married?"
"Yes, you are three years older than me. It's time for you to get married. When the time comes, Qi Chuan and I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"
…
It was rare for Fu Qichuan to be so trustworthy. Within two days, the illegitimate son of the Zhou family withdrew from the Zhou headquarters.
Grandpa Zhou hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet.
Zhou Fang's life seemed to be slowly getting back on track.
He won several big projects in a row, moving quickly and aggressively.
He became the usual Mr. Zhou who acted flamboyantly and unpredictably, making people unable to figure him out.
At the Shen family, Fu Qichuan also used his connections to find a hidden master of traditional Chinese medicine, who came out of seclusion to take grandma's pulse and try to detoxify the root cause.
The reason why my grandmother fell into a coma was because the poison had entered her heart meridians. The emergency treatment provided by the hospital that day only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
The company dinner ended that day.
Zhou Mo, seemingly unintentionally, slowly fell behind the other members and stood shoulder to shoulder with me, cautiously probing, "Sister, have you never liked my brother?"
I know she came to ask on behalf of Zhou Fang.
But yesterday, Zhou Yugang called to warn me.
I smiled and said, "Well, never."
"What never?"
Fu Qichuan strode over and stopped in front of me with a straight figure. "Wife, I'm here to pick you up."
These days, he seems to be a good man.
He has regained his image as a wife-doting man.
Take me to work and pick me up from get off work, rain or shine.
But when I return to the old house, I will just go straight to the guest room and lock the door.
He tried different ways to please me.
Trying to find ways to cheer me up.
But I don't know why, none of them are right.
Some things are like this. Once the timing is wrong, everything you do is redundant.
I seemed to be looking in the mirror of him and seeing my former self.
"Nanzhi, open the door. I heated up some milk for you. Drink some to help you sleep."
Fu Qichuan stood at the door and knocked on it. "The servant said you didn't sleep all night again last night."
If I don't open it, he will keep knocking on the door.
Just like at the dinner table, he wouldn't let me leave if I didn't eat.
He thought I was mad at him, but I really couldn't eat it. The smell made me sick.
I opened the door, took the cup, forced myself to drink it all in one gulp, and handed the cup back to him. "Is that all right?"
Then he closed the door, locked it again, covered his mouth and ran into the bathroom to vomit everything.
After vomiting, I picked up the desk calendar and slowly crossed out today's date with a pen.
Only seven days left.
In seven days, no one will be able to control me.
With only two days left, I even became more efficient at work.
With Jiang An, the class leader finalized the design draft of the summer style.
At noon, I went to the tea room to make some coffee to refresh myself. When I picked it up, my hand slipped and the cup broke into pieces, and the scalding coffee splashed all over the back of my foot.
My heart started pounding.
An extremely uneasy feeling spread in my heart.
Later that evening, Jiang Lai hurried into my office. "Ruan Ruan, are you okay?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
I looked up blankly from the design draft.
Jiang Lai silently adjusted his breathing and picked up my phone with a natural look. "My phone is out of battery. Lend me yours so I can play a few games."
"You don't have a charger? I'll lend it to you."
I pretended to pull it out, but Jiang Lai shook his head repeatedly, "No, it's charging, but it's too hot to play with it at the same time."
She was a game fan, so I didn't think much about it and just focused on my work. "Okay."
Jiang Lai tiptoed onto my desk and asked, "Have you been to the hospital for a follow-up checkup these past two days? Are you feeling better after taking the medicine?"
Without looking up, I said, "Much better."
"We've been so busy with orders lately that you haven't taken your eyes off the drawing board. When you're taking a break, look at more green things and play with your phone less. Be careful, and you'll need a guide dog when you go out in the future."
"Um."
I always felt that she was hiding something from me, so I looked up at her and asked, "Lai Lai, are you hiding something from me?"
She shook her head desperately, "No."
I reached out, "Give me the phone."
"I'm playing games!"
"You play games vertically?"
I snatched the phone back and flipped through it, but didn't see anything. I looked at Jiang Lai suspiciously, "Did you delete something?"
"No."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the public office area outside shouted, "Zhou Mo, run slower!"
I stood up suddenly, and the movement was so sudden that I twisted my ankle.
But I seemed to feel no pain and ran out of the room regardless of anything. "What happened to Zhou Mo?"
"I don't know. She just said something incoherent and ran away."
"It seems like something happened to her brother."
