Chapter 54 Self-sufficiency
The two of them walked out of the study, hugging each other so tightly that they were almost stuck together, and ran into Butler Li who was coming down from the third floor.
Ning Che immediately stepped forward, took Butler Li's arm and asked, "Grandpa Li, does your head still hurt?"
"I'll feel much better after a good sleep." He waved his hand and pushed Ning Che back into Fu Chengyun's arms. "I'm old and useless. I can't stand being scared."
"No, you are still strong and healthy." Ning Che retorted.
Butler Li smiled with relief: "Let's go downstairs to eat."
Fu Chengyun watched the interaction between the old man and the young from the side. The huge house seemed to have added a touch of human touch. He suddenly felt a hope for a harmonious family and to enjoy the happiness of family life.
Ning Che helped Butler Li down the stairs, and he was left behind. Staring at Ning Che's back, he thought:
As for Tianlun, we are still missing a child.
The three of them walked slowly downstairs from the second floor. Auntie was busy between the kitchen and the dining room, leaving only a shadow.
"Auntie, are you still dizzy? Can I ask the driver to take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?"
Fu Chengyun pulled out a chair for Ning Che and waited until everyone else was seated before taking his seat. He brought a bowl of porridge in front of him, stirred it, and spoke towards the kitchen.
"Hospital?" Ning Che hesitated between the golden duck rolls and the lotus crab soup with his chopsticks.
He had only seen hospitals on TV and on his mobile phone. He had heard that there was a place called an operating room in the hospital, where people's stomachs were cut open.
The most important thing is that after the stomach was cut open and then sewn up, the person could still live! Such a thing was simply a fantasy to Ning Che, and he really wanted to see it for himself.
Ning Che said: "I'll go too."
Fu Chengyun put the two dishes one by one on the plate in front of him and said casually: "No. You are grounded."
"Another grounding?"
Ning Che's face was filled with disbelief. Even in a place as strict as the Demon Cult, no one dared to stop him.
So what if it was the former leader? He still needed his protection day and night, and he had to give him some respect when speaking and doing things. So what if it was Xu Jia? He was still wary of him day and night, and even if he wanted to suppress him, he didn't dare to give him orders.
Besides, he was reluctant to go out because he was unfamiliar with the place. But now he can't go out, how can he carry out his plan to resume teaching?
"No!" His face turned cold and he looked at Fu Chengyun steadily with a stubborn look on his face.
Fu Chengyun quickly put down his chopsticks, rubbed his shoulders and coaxed him, "Fu Linyu has bad intentions towards you, and Lizi doesn't teach you well. You get your arms broken by kids every time you go to school, so it's inevitable that your enemies are secretly watching you. I'm very worried that something will happen to you. Please don't go out for the time being, okay?"
Ning Che put down his chopsticks and went on a hunger strike in protest. "No way!"
Fu Chengyun was not annoyed. He smiled dotingly and continued to coax her: "Be good, Cheche. Once your husband clears the obstacles for you, we can travel around the world."
A table full of delicious food is nothing compared to freedom.
Seeing that Fu Chengyun was still smiling gently, without any sign of loosening.
Ning Che was so angry that he simply poked him in the heart.
"You said I'd be grounded, so I'm grounded? Am I your cat or dog? Or your captive canary?"
"Or maybe it's the sexual tools hidden in your Young Master Fu's golden house?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his long eyelashes drooped, and he looked lonely and aggrieved.
Injure the enemy by a thousand and lose yourself by eight hundred. This smile was a mockery of Fu Chengyun and even more so of himself.
Given his current situation, who can say no?
As for the first two sentences, Fu Chengyun would just treat them as the baby's coquettishness, and would laugh it off and patiently coax him. But this last sentence was really unfair.
This is not just one time of injustice.
How many times!
"Which of us is the tool for sexual gratification?" Fu Chengyun turned sideways and looked at Ning Che. He felt more wronged than Dou E! He seemed to be in a posture of having to make things clear today.
"Just count it yourself, how many times have we been together? Every time you didn't make me feel helpless. But when it came to the final push, you either said no, hit me, or even vomited!"
"I'd already died of suffocation if I were to vent my lust here with you!"
Ning Che retorted with a sneer and chuckled, "Ha! I won't die from holding it in, but getting hurt would be even better. I can't use it anyway!"
"You can't use mine or yours. I haven't seen you hard for a long time!" Fu Chengyun was not willing to be outdone.
Ning Che is skilled in martial arts, but he cannot win over this experienced businessman with his eloquence.
He was at a loss for words and could only glare at Fu Chengyun.
Fu Chengyun looked back without showing any weakness.
The two eyes met, provoking each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.
Ning Che felt angry about being controlled, and Fu Chengyun felt resentful about being wronged.
Seeing Ning Che clenching his fist with chopsticks until his knuckles turned white, Butler Li's headache got worse.
He wanted to go back to his room to hide away, but he was afraid that Fu Chengyun would be beaten. He had to intervene.
The old man gritted his teeth and pulled Ning Che's arm, saying calmly, "Stop arguing. We can talk about it tomorrow. Let's eat first."
"No way!" Ning Che shook off Butler Li and rolled up his sleeves.
Fu Chengyun was startled as he stared at the pale forearm. "You just said you wouldn't hit me again! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
Ning Che ignored him and continued to roll up the sleeve of his other arm. He was not a gentleman to begin with, and since he couldn't win the argument, he would just tie Fu Chengyun up and throw him on the bed.
Let’s see who dares to stop me from being free.
Fu Chengyun had already fled behind Butler Li for help. "Grandpa Li, are you just going to watch him beat me?"
Butler Li regretted that he should have retired and returned home as soon as he left the guest room.
My ears were buzzing with Fu Chengyun's panicked mumbling and Ning Che's vicious threats.
The old butler was at his wit's end and could only resort to his trump card. He slapped his thigh and sat on the ground, about to collapse.
Fu Chengyun: ...scam?
Ning Che: ...are you pretending?
Aunt: ...I didn’t say I wanted to go to the hospital!
Steward Li fell to the ground very slowly and in a comfortable position. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and said weakly, "Please let me live for two more years."
Ning Che, who had witnessed Butler Li's death, hated the old man saying this. He curled his lips and was the first to admit defeat.
"I understand. I won't go." Ning Che bent down to help Butler Li up, walked him to his seat and complained: "Can you please stop saying this all the time?"
Butler Li: "You eat, and Grandpa won't say anything."
Inner thought: If it works, I’ll keep saying it!
Fu Chengyun was completely stunned watching the whole process. If the two of them weren't still awkward, he would have wanted to applaud and give a thumbs up to the grandfather and grandson.
A good acting!
A filial grandson!
Seeing everyone finally return to their seats and quietly eat, Auntie breathed a sigh of relief and finally dared to speak. "I don't need to go to the hospital. Xiao Che took my pulse and said I'm in great shape."
Fu Chengyun turned to look at him and asked curiously, "You can also take pulses."
Ning Che glanced at him sideways, his face full of disdain.
The aunt continued, "Of course, it's amazing! They gave me some blood and told me to rest for two hours, and I woke up exactly two hours later, not even a second off. I woke up feeling really refreshed."
"Really?" Fu Chengyun turned to look at him again, hoping to use this opportunity to ease the tension. "I'm tired lately too, can you take my pulse too?"
Ning Che scoffed, but still placed his hand on his wrist. Frowning slightly, he stared at Fu Chengyun and spoke slowly.
"Kidney problems."
Fu Chengyun: ...
"I don't need to ask you!"
The clock in the living room struck eight, and the group had almost finished their meal. Butler Li urged the two to go back to their rooms for bed.
"A couple quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed. There's no such thing as a grudge left overnight. Go to sleep now. We can talk it out in bed if we have anything to say."
Ning Che went upstairs awkwardly, holding Fu Chengyun's hand.
Every word of these words touched Fu Chengyun's heart, especially the words "couple, in bed".
As soon as he walked in, he shamelessly came over and hugged me, coaxing me: "Baby, I was wrong. Don't be angry."
Ning Che turned his face away and ignored him.
He was struggling with whether he should be angry about the "house arrest" or the "no".
Her expression of keeping silent with eyes downcast became a shy acquiescence in Fu Chengyun's eyes.
He pressed against Ning Che's body, kissing him one by one on his hazy face under the gentle light. "Baby, it's me who can't do it, not you. My baby is the best."
With a "bo" sound, a loud kiss landed on his cheek. Fu Chengyun looked at him flatteringly, smiling in a flattering manner.
It was unclear whether he was truly lacking in confidence or if he still had some anger left in him. Ning Che, however, could see the full force of his mockery.
He pushed Fu Chengyun away and shouted angrily: "Yes, I can do it! I can't do it any better. I always suffer from the short night. I have a lot of tricks and amazing physical strength.
The bedroom door was pulled open, and he took advantage of Fu Chengyun's stunned silence to push him out. "But I won't serve you!"
The door slammed shut, and when Fu Chengyun reacted, he was already standing outside the door in a daze.
The angry curse still echoes in my ears.
"Just be self-sufficient!"
