Chapter 53 Yan Nuo Wants Divorce
Listening to the woman's playful and cunning voice, Fu Shangbei's hardened heart seemed to be pinched by a soft hand. He picked up the steamed radish and pork rolls with chopsticks and said lightly: "We are husband and wife, you can say whatever you want."
It seemed as if she had been waiting for his words. With these words, Yan Nuo felt more at ease. His big, bright black eyes looked at Fu Shangbei sincerely, yet with a hint of trepidation: "I'm not capable enough right now, so I can only ask you for help. The influence of the Fuhuang Group in Jinghai is unmatched by any other group. If you could spare a little time from your busy schedule to help your wife suppress the Yan Group, she would definitely be very grateful to you."
"Oh? How to express gratitude?" After saying this, Fu Shangbei ate the radish and meat roll on the chopsticks in one bite. It was tender and juicy.
"Hmm... let me think about it." Seeing that he didn't refuse outright, Yan Nuo saw hope and quickly started thinking about how to thank Mr. Fu.
Fu Shangbei nodded, allowing her to think now, lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice, then naturally stretched his chopsticks into her bowl, picked out the carrots and corn, and added the chicken.
Yan Nuo held her cheek and thought for nearly a minute, thinking that Boss Fu must have no shortage of silks, satins, jewels and jades. He was much richer than her. If the gift was not expensive enough, he might be disgusted.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and Yan Nuo looked into Fu Shangbei's eyes with clear eyes: "Are you tired after get off work every day?"
A man who has been accustomed to fitness for many years has a strong physique. Moreover, because of his "illness", his body's endurance is stronger than that of ordinary people. But wanting to know her intention, Fu Shangbei just said: "I am a little tired."
"That's easy. I'll give you a back and leg massage when you get home. Is that okay?"
When Yan Nuo's mother, who was lying on the hospital bed eating melons, heard Yan Nuo's words, she couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand: "My eldest daughter, why are you using the same tricks you used on your father when you were a child on your husband? Your uncle is not your father, maybe he won't buy into your tricks."
"You want to... help me massage my back and legs?" Fu Shangbei's expression was tinged with shock, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face.
"If you don't like it, just change it to something else. How do you want me to thank you?" Yan Nuo estimated his small treasury and said in embarrassment: "If you want something too expensive, I may not have the money to buy it..."
"It's what you said." Fu Shangbei said lightly.
Yan Nuo became happy: "That's settled then. Remember to help me. I'm very good at back massage."
Fu Shangbei frowned: "You, a rich lady, are really good at back massage?"
"I'm not some rich girl. When I was little, I loved giving my parents back massages because... well, because I was naughty and always wanted to climb trees and catch birds. In order to get my parents' permission to let me do this, I gave them back and leg massages."
Thinking of the good times with her parents, Yan Nuo felt a sour feeling in her heart and throat, and she was a little breathless. She stopped talking and held the bowl with both hands to drink the soup. After finishing the soup, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why... was there so much chicken in the bowl?
Just as she was about to put down the bowl after wondering about it, the man's voice rang out beside her ear: "It's noon when you're hoeing the fields. Every grain of rice is the product of hard work. Don't waste food."
"Okay." Yan Nuo pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and resigned himself to eating the chicken.
Fu Shangbei looked at her with his eyes slanted, his thin lips slightly raised for a moment.
"Come home with me, there will be professionals to take care of Mother Yan." After dinner, Fu Shangbei still persuaded her to go home.
Yan's mother also said: "Miss, you should go with your uncle. I have many people here to take care of me."
Yan Nuo said nothing, suddenly took Fu Shangbei's hand and walked out of the ward.
Fu Shangbei let her pull him along, taking shorter steps than before, until she pulled him all the way to the stairs. Yan Nuo let go and walked down the stairs alone, then turned back and beckoned the man with her finger, motioning him to come over as well.
Fu Shangbei walked down and came to her. Yan Nuo took a deep breath, her fair face full of seriousness: "I want to stay and take care of Mom Yan."
"Are you a professional medical professional?" Fu Shangbei retorted rationally.
Yan Nuo shook his head and admitted, "Of course I'm not as professional as them, but... don't you understand? Mother Yan got hurt trying to get back the roses I planted. She almost went blind. How terrifying! She must have been terrified, but she's an adult and used to suppressing fear. So what does my company mean to me? If I can't even do something as trivial as this, how can I deserve Mother Yan's unwavering devotion to me?"
"Some things need to be done personally so that others can feel the warmth. I just want Yan's mother to know that I care about her and that I care about her. Maybe this can't ease her pain, but at least she knows that I have this heart."
"Mother Yan is not married and has no relatives in Jinghai. She does have friends, but at this time, her friends all have their own jobs. How could she possibly bother them? I'm so free, and I don't even do this little thing. That would be a terrible person."
After mumbling to herself in one breath, Yan Nuo felt much better. She just didn't like Fu Shangbei asking her to go home in front of Yan's mother in the ward.
"This is why I want to stay. If you don't agree, I think we need to reconsider our marriage."
After she finished speaking her heart out, she looked up at the man with a deep expression, then looked away, her heart gradually becoming nervous. If Fu Shangbei, this domineering boss, was autocratic and dictatorial, she couldn't stand it. So let them divorce, there was no other way, the child must belong to her.
