Chapter 553 Don't Do This to Me
When Qiao Yunxue saw this name, her eyes suddenly turned cold. She lowered her eyes and looked at Fu Shanzhan who was helping her change her shoes. At that time, Fu Shanzhan had already held her ankle.
Qiao Yunxue stiffly let him change her slippers. After Fu Shanzhan stood up, he looked at his phone. After seeing Lin Muyue's name, he subconsciously looked at Qiao Yunxue.
Qiao Yunxue turned around and walked towards the sofa.
Fu Shanzhan followed and sat down next to Qiao Yunxue. After answering the phone, he turned on the speakerphone.
Qiao Yunxue heard Lin Muyue's voice coming from the phone: "Brother Fu said that you have been arranged to go to the progress inspection of Fanhai Commercial Center. I'll make an appointment with you."
Fu Shanzhan: "Whatever, I'm fine with it."
Lin Muyue: "Then tomorrow morning?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I understand."
Lin Muyue: "Okay, then let's meet at the scene at 9:30 and have lunch together at noon."
Fu Shanzhan: "That's not necessary."
Lin Muyue laughed, "How can this be unnecessary? It's just basic courtesy."
She paused and teased, "Are you worried your wife will get jealous if she finds out? It's not just you and I eating alone, so she wouldn't be that possessive, right?"
Qiao Yunxue listened to every word Lin Muyue said without missing a word, and a sneer escaped from her nose. She really never forgot to sow discord all the time.
Qiao Yunxue was too lazy to listen and stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Fu Shanzhan immediately chased after him.
Lin Muyue didn't know what was going on here and continued talking to Fu Shanzhan: "It was just a joke, don't take it seriously, see you tomorrow."
Fu Shanzhan answered the phone directly.
Qiao Yunxue is now over five months pregnant, and her belly is already quite big. Her usual walking speed has slowed down a lot, but today she was particularly excited when climbing the stairs. When Fu Shanzhan saw her gait, his right eyelid twitched non-stop.
Fu Shanzhan followed Qiao Yunxue into the bedroom. After closing the door, he walked up to her and checked her stomach. "Don't walk so fast. Be careful of the baby."
Qiao Yunxue shook off his hand and said, "I won't let anything happen to my child."
Fu Shanzhan: "I recently met with Lin Muyue because of work. After she graduated, she joined her company. We had a commercial district development project before, and I have been following it. She was not the original contact person."
Qiao Yunxue remained indifferent after hearing this explanation. She knew with her toes that Lin Muyue participated in this project just to have the opportunity to meet Fu Shanzhan. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions, but no one could do anything about it.
Who made her and Fu Shanzhan a perfect match?
Qiao Yunxue was not angry about this matter, she just felt tired. She suddenly realized a fact: as long as Lin Muyue wanted, she had many ways to interact with Fu Shanzhan and many ways to annoy her, and she could not have any extreme reactions, otherwise she would be judged as ignorant.
Take the phone call just now for example, Lin Muyue was talking about work, openly and honestly.
"It doesn't matter." After a moment of silence, Qiao Yunxue took a deep breath, "You don't have to explain to me."
Fu Shanzhan immediately knew she was speaking in anger: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would have such wild thoughts. I'm not interested in her."
Qiao Yunxue: "I'm not asking you to never have anything to do with Lin Muyue again, but don't argue with me about Lu Ye. We're even now."
Fu Shanzhan choked up, "Do you think this kind of thing can be evened up?"
Qiao Yunxue: "It doesn't matter if you don't feel the same. I'm tired and want to rest. You can go out first."
Her attitude clearly showed a refusal to communicate. She didn't even show her temper. Her voice was lifeless and sounded full of world-weariness.
Fu Shanzhan felt a dull pain in his heart. He refused to leave. He opened his arms and hugged her in his arms, saying aggrievedly, "Wife, please don't be so cold to me. This is my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you."
"I'm just afraid you'll be angry after you find out. You're still pregnant, so you can't get angry."
Qiao Yunxue listened to his explanation and smiled mechanically. Yes, she was used to being willful. In Fu Shanzhan's mind, she was someone who would lose her temper anytime and anywhere, and would not even consider the baby in her belly.
I'm too lazy to care.
Qiao Yunxue curled her lips and said to him, "Don't worry about these things. The baby will be born safely."
Fu Shanzhan: "That's not what I meant. I'm worried about you——"
"I said, I don't care. You don't need to report your work to me. I can't take care of that much." Qiao Yunxue interrupted him.
"No, you are my wife, you should control me." Fu Shanzhan refused to give in.
He used to say similar things often, and Qiao Yunxue would laugh secretly after hearing them. She liked his occasional stubbornness and persistence, which showed that he cared about her.
But now, when she heard such words from Fu Shanzhan again, she felt almost no ripple in her heart, and even felt that these words were childish - perhaps because reality was too cruel.
Even if she really went to Fu Shanzhan and asked him not to meet Lin Muyue even for work needs, could he do it?
Or, would the Fu family allow him to do this?
"Or I won't go to work anymore." Seeing that Qiao Yunxue hadn't responded, Fu Shanzhan made a decision directly, "I'll go and resign from my eldest brother tomorrow."
"Fu Shanzhan, that's enough," Qiao Yunxue said, looking at him helplessly with a headache. "Could you please stop being so childish?"
Fu Shanzhan moved her lips, not knowing how to respond - she clearly used to like his childishness.
"Then can you please not treat me like this?" Fu Shanzhan's eyes were sore and tears fell from the corners of his eyes. "I don't know how we became like this."
"We're going to be parents soon, so we should be more mature," Qiao Yunxue said. "Don't talk about quitting your job so often anymore."
Fu Shanzhan: "But didn't you say before——"
"That was before. Now I've changed my mind." Qiao Yunxue didn't give him a chance to finish. "As parents, we should set an example for our children. No child wants their parents to be idle."
Fu Shanzhan pursed his lips into a line, said nothing, and gradually slowed down the strength of his embrace on her.
Qiao Yunxue took this opportunity to break free from him, walked around him, went to the bed, lay down and closed her eyes.
Fu Shanzhan stared at Qiao Yunxue, who was resting with her eyes closed, for a while, then turned and left the bedroom. In the end, he couldn't say a word.
When Qiao Yunxue heard the door close, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
So tired.
If it were in the past, she would certainly hope that Fu Shanzhan would resign. She couldn't bear to see Fu Shanzhan being with anyone who coveted him, and she didn't want to give Lin Muyue the opportunity to sow discord between them.
But now everything is different.
She has already recognized the gap between them. The more she cares about gains and losses, the less she can grasp it.
Fu Qingyun had never agreed with Fu Shanzhan's marriage to her. After marriage, if Fu Shanzhan had any childish behavior, Fu Qingyun would definitely blame her first. Take the matter of resigning as an example. Even if Fu Shanzhan said it was his own idea, Fu Qingyun would not believe it.
Qiao Yunxue didn't want to be called back to the old house by Fu Qingyun for private education because of these things.
