When Ye Shi returned with her child, she saw that Fu Zelian and Teacher Liu had just finished their conversation and had even exchanged WeChat contacts.
She saw Fu Zelian put away his phone; it showed that he had already accepted her friend request.
Teacher Liu said with a smile, "Then you should take Xiao Zhe back first. I'll talk to you about any problems the child may have."
"Um."
Fu Zelian turned around and left with Ye Shi and Xiao Zhe.
After getting in the car, Ye Shi seemed a little absent-minded. She looked at Fu Zelian's phone several times but didn't know how to ask.
"Teacher Liu just added me on WeChat. She'll send me photos of my son at school when she has time. Haven't you always felt that I don't care enough about our son? Can you rest assured now?"
Ye Shi didn't ask, but he took the initiative to speak first.
"I didn't say that. I just wanted you to spend more time with your child."
"I'll spend time with you when I have time, but I do have a lot of things to do at work, so please understand."
"knew."
The two didn't speak again, and the journey back was quiet.
Xiao Zhe fell asleep in Ye Shi's arms.
After returning home and having dinner, Ye Shi took the child to take a bath and prepare to rest.
After she put the child to sleep, she came out and passed by the study, where she saw him still busy at his desk, with a tall stack of documents on the table.
Ye Shi didn't want to bother him, but she tripped over her slippers and almost fell as she was leaving.
The noise at the door caught his attention, and he looked up.
She looked embarrassed and, leaning against the doorframe, said, "You're busy."
"Come in and pour me a glass of water."
Fu Zelian lowered his head and continued working.
Ye Shi poured him a glass of water, and only when she got closer did she realize that he was revising a planning document, which was covered with his annotations.
"Aren't you done yet? I'm going back to sleep."
"Wait a minute." He looked up. "Why aren't you wearing the clothes I bought you?"
He bought her designer clothes worth thousands of dollars, but she couldn't bear to wear them.
Ye Shi avoided eye contact and said, "It's not like I'm going to any banquet recently, so I'll just wear whatever I feel like."
"Just wear whatever you want?" The man frowned, seemingly displeased with her words. "You are my wife, Xiao Zhe's mother. When you go out, you represent us. How can you just wear whatever you want? I bought you clothes that suit you. Just wear those. If you don't need them, I'll have someone come and order some custom-made. We're not short of money."
It turns out he was ashamed that he had dressed shabbily at his son's kindergarten that day, making him feel embarrassed.
Xiao Zhe's kindergarten is aristocratic; all the teachers there are dressed in designer brands and are very glamorous.
Compared to her, do you think she's inferior?
Ye Shi's face fell, though she didn't show it on her face, even though she was very upset inside.
"I see."
"Okay, throw away all those cheap clothes tomorrow. If you want to buy something, just have the driver take you there."
"I don't really want to buy anything. If you feel embarrassed to take me out, we can stop going out together in the future."
"What do you mean by that?" Fu Zelian looked at her and saw that her face was calm, and it didn't seem like she was just saying it out of anger.
Ye Shi straightened her back and said, "I will try not to go with you to pick up and drop off Xiao Zhe in the future. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
After saying that, she turned and left the study.
Fu Zelian was completely confused. What was this woman doing now?
Didn't she notice the strange looks she received from other women at kindergarten today? He just didn't want her to be talked about by those people.
