Sleeping can also be a simple noun.
When Zheng Xiao opened her eyes, the streetlights outside the window were just coming on.
The scene was the same as always, just like the one she saw every time she had insomnia.
Yet it seems that something has quietly changed.
She slept very well today; it's been a long time since she's slept for several hours straight.
Glug glug...
It was her stomach that was making noises.
It's all because the smell coming in from outside is too delicious.
Zheng Xiao walked out of the bedroom, where dinner was already set on the dining table.
"Lu Li?"
"Lu Li!"
No one answered.
She saw a sticky note on the dining table.
"I'm going to bring Huanhuan her food. I'll be back as soon as possible. You eat first, and don't drink anything cold; it'll upset your stomach."
Lu Li's handwriting, like his personality, is both cold and gentle. Despite his seemingly cold appearance, he is very caring and a perfect role model for a family man.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zheng Xiao subconsciously recalled Lu Li's usual image of wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
She casually tasted a bite of food, a slight smile playing on her lips without her even realizing it. She turned and went upstairs to the music room, casually opened the piano lid that she hadn't touched in days, sat down, closed her eyes, and as her fingers moved, a melodious tune began to play.
She's someone who follows her instincts; when inspiration strikes, it's unstoppable, and by the time she comes to her senses, it's already late at night.
When I went downstairs, I saw Lu Li sleeping lightly on the dining table.
The food on the table was all covered up, and it was impossible to tell how many times it had been reheated.
The sound of footsteps startled Lu Li awake.
He looked up. "You wrote a new song?"
"Hmm." Zheng Xiao continued downstairs: "I suddenly had an inspiration."
Lu Li touched the plate. "It's still warm, just right to eat. You must be hungry, right? Don't get so busy that you forget to eat. Man is made of iron, food is steel. Health is always the foundation of everything. If you keep going like this..."
Zheng Xiao stuffed a meatball directly into Lu Li's mouth.
Has anyone ever told you that a man who nags too much can't find a wife?
Lu Li smiled.
He looked very handsome when he smiled, and even Zheng Xiao was momentarily stunned.
She sat down and suddenly felt a surge of appetite. "Actually, if you went into the entertainment industry, you would definitely do quite well."
Lu Li reiterated, "I don't know anything, so don't waste your time."
Zheng Xiao glanced at him and said, "You don't need to know anything. With this face and this body, that's enough. Many of today's hottest celebrities aren't even as good-looking as you, and who knows how many surgeries they've had on their bodies and faces."
Lu Li quite enjoyed chatting with her calmly and casually. "Is this your way of acknowledging my good looks?"
Zheng Xiao: "I've always been very impressed with your looks. My primary requirement for hiring someone is that they can't be too ugly."
The two chatted about this and that, and before they knew it, Zheng Xiao had eaten too much.
"Luckily, I fired that idiot manager, otherwise he would definitely be nagging me about how many calories I ate and telling me how to burn them off," Zheng Xiao complained speechlessly.
Lu Li suddenly remembered the rumors circulating outside: "I heard that your father arranged for Agent Lin to work for you. How did she end up signing with you?"
Zheng Xiao didn't hide anything: "They reminded me early on, saying that it would be beneficial for my future if I signed it myself."
Once the topic turned to Jiang Zao, Zheng Xiao seemed to be injected with energy, talking about their first meeting as children and all the way up to adulthood.
She didn't even know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, she was in bed in the bedroom, with the warm sun shining brightly outside. It was already noon the next day.
...
"Wife!"
Fu Yanci followed Jiang Zao into the president's office.
"Honey, the food was delicious! Shall we go again next time?"
They had just returned from having lunch outside.
Jiang Zao turned around and crossed her arms.
"Aci, it's just the two of us right now, are you getting too into character?"
Does this guy have an acting addiction or something?
Fu Yanci took a deep breath, and his entire demeanor changed instantly. His deep eyes were filled with shrewdness, and he was no longer the naive and ignorant person he once was.
"Zaozao, I think the second batch of Mo2 pre-orders can be scheduled for June 1st. Now it's not just children who need to celebrate this holiday, adults also long to be treated like children and receive Children's Day gifts."
Jiang Zao deeply agreed and jokingly asked, "Is this your experience after pretending to be a child for so long?"
Fu Yanci smiled: "I suppose so."
In the afternoon, Fu's Group announced the second batch of pre-sale dates for the Mo2 smart robot, which, combined with the Children's Day activities, amplified the effect.
Knock knock knock!
Qin He knocked on the door and came in.
"Third Master, Third Madam, Jiang Jinfeng and Xia Chuwei have come to visit and are in the lobby downstairs."
After all, Jiang Jinfeng had sold all his shares, and the Fu family and the Jiang family had long since broken up, so Jiang Jinfeng could no longer freely come and go from the Fu family as before.
Jiang Zao didn't make a decision, but instead turned her gaze to Fu Yanci.
Now that he has recovered, it's best for him to handle this matter himself.
She plans to gradually withdraw from the Fu Group.
In this second life, she wants to walk a different path than in her previous one.
Fu Yanci replied directly, "I won't see you."
Qin He said "Yes" and then left.
About half an hour later, Jiang Zao received a call from Rong Shi, saying that Fu Yinhe was much more conscious and wanted to see Fu Yanci.
Jiang Zao turned on speakerphone and looked at Fu Yanci with a questioning gaze.
Fu Yanci already had many doubts in his heart. If he could meet Fu Yinhe, he might be able to solve many of the mysteries.
He nodded.
The two then went to the hospital.
Fu Yinhe is currently being held in a detention ward, guarded by four police officers who change shifts every four hours, 24 hours a day.
"Ms. Jiang." Rong Shi always greeted Jiang Zao first.
He often ignored Fu Yanci, who was like a persistent leech next to him.
Fu Yanci was quite adept at being disgusting. He blinked his innocent eyes and said politely, "Hello, Uncle."
Rong Shi: "!"
Jiang Zao couldn't help but suppress a laugh, and after a few seconds she explained, "I'm sorry, Captain Rong, Aci's aftereffects from the car accident haven't healed yet, so... you know."
Rong Shi took a deep breath.
He doesn't argue with children!
“In that case, Ms. Jiang, please go in with Master Fu. Fu Yinhe said that she does not want the police to be present when she meets Fu Yanci, otherwise she will not tell anything.”
Rong Shi could have refused Fu Yinhe's request.
However, he secretly wanted to see Jiang Zao, so he inexplicably agreed.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.
The ward door opened, and a foul stench wafted out; Fu Yinhe had lost control of her bladder and bowels again.
The police officers called a caregiver to clean up Fu Yinhe and change her pants before letting Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci in.
Fu Yinhe's facial injuries haven't healed yet, and several wounds are destined to leave scars. She's back, but her life is ruined.
"Fu Yanci, you really are lucky to be alive."
