âI had to explain, âThis time I returned to the United Kingdom because Xihan was shot and wounded severely. The situation there is unstable, not too safe, so Fu Qi returned to China with me.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âFor a while, Fu Qi will stay in Nancheng.â Seeing Su Wanwan about to explode, Huo Jingshen quickly added, âShe and Ziyang will be staying in the neighboring villa, they wonât disturb us.â
Su Wanwan pouted.
She wasnât an unreasonable person, and with his explanation, she felt a little bit better.
Butâ¦
Thinking back about yesterdayâs incident, she couldnât help but start accusing him, âI went to the airport to pick you up, waited for you for two whole hours. I tried calling, but couldnât get through. Finally, when I did, Fu Qi said you were taking a shower.â
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, âShe lied to you.â
âWhy did she lie to me?â
Huo Jingshen, ââ¦â
âAnd she said you two had no relationship! Liar! A master of lies!â Su Wanwan screamed.
If Fu Qi wasnât interested in him, why would she say these ambiguous things to deceive her?
Deliberately letting her misunderstand?
Andâ¦
âWhy would she have your phone?â
Huo Jingshen brooded with a sullen face, âIâll call now, and you can ask her directly.â
Finished speaking, he reached out for the phone on the bedside table, dialed the number, and turned on the speakerphone.
Soon, Fu Qiâs sweet voice came through the phone, âBrother Jingshen, did you need something?â
Before Huo Jingshen could speak, Su Wanwan suddenly leaned in and shouted, âYou little slut, listen up. Huo Jingshen is my man! Dare to covet my man, and Iâll make sure you beg for life but wish for death!â
Fu Qi: ââ¦â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
I guess I canât really rely on this girl to communicate properly.
After a while, Fu Qiâs voice came, âSister-in-law, I was wrong. Donât do this. I got scared too. I was just worried you had urgent matters with Brother Jingshenâ¦â
âBullshit!â Su Wanwan interrupted her. Before she got to say more, Huo Jingshen impatiently hung up the phone.
**
Fu Qi held her phone listening to the âbeep beepâ sound for a long time before setting down her device.
Then she sighed softly.
âKnock knock knock,â The door to her room was knocked.
Fu Qi got up and went to open the door.
âAuntie, Auntie Han asked me to come up and get you for lunch.â Fu Ziyang was standing adorably at the door.
âI donât feel like eating. You go ahead.â
âOh.â Fu Ziyang blinked his eyes but did not leave, âAuntie, why canât I get through to my dadâs phone?â
âYour dad is busy with something. He will come to China to see you soon.â Remembering Huo Jingshenâs instructions, Fu Qi didnât dare to speak carelessly.
Who knewâ¦
âYou said yesterday that my dad was in the hospital.â
Fu Qi was taken aback, âDid I?â
Fu Ziyang nodded firmly, âAuntie, if you donât tell me the truth, I will go back to the UK by myself.â
With that, he turned and ran.
âZiyang.â Fu Qi quickly grabbed his small body, âWhy are you such a disobedient boy, what did Uncle Huo tell you?â
Fu Ziyang looked at her, âThen you tell me, what exactly happened to my dad?â
âYour dad isâ¦â
Fu Ziyang turned and walked away.
Fu Qi was about to reach out and grab him, but on second thought, she withdrew her hand.
She went back to the room, picked up her cell phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered.
Fu Qi immediately said, âBrother Jingshen, what should I do, Ziyang is throwing a temper tantrum, saying he wants to go back to UK, you should hurry over and persuade him, I canât calm him down.â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
**
Putting down his phone in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Huo Jingshen expressionlessly stared at Su Wanwan.
His long, dark, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, giving off a serious vibe, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
Su Wanwan was not afraid at all, âWhat?â
Huo Jingshen changed his mind at the last moment, âAre you hungry?â
Su Wanwan was taken aback, she hadnât expected him to suddenly ask this question.
Immediately she said, âIâm not hungry!â
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a âgurgleâ sound.
Su Wanwan coughed.
Damnit!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
So undignified!
Huo Jingshen said, âGo freshen up first, then come downstairs to eat.â
Having said that, he glanced doubtfully at the duvet covering her legs, âDo you need your husbandâs help?â
âNo need!â Su Wanwan turned and tried to get out of bed, butâ¦
âHiss!â
Just as she straightened her back, she felt her legs go weak, and in an instant, she almost fell onto the carpet.
Thankfully, Huo Jingshen was quick to catch her. As his dark eyes looked down, he saw her in such a pitiful state.
âSit properly.â
After he had placed the young girl back in her seat, he stood up and strode towards the wardrobe.
He quickly returned with a set of clothes, which he immediately started to put on her.
Su Wanwan didnât resist anymore, letting him dress her, even helping with her pants and top. She didnât know where he found a hair tie, but he used it to bind up her long, curly hair. âOff you go.â
Su Wanwan pouted, as if she were being playful, âMy legs hurt.â
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
So what?
âItâs all your fault, so you have to take care of me today!â Su Wanwan glared at him, then opened her arms wide.
She obviously wanted to be carried.
A hint of amusement flashed quickly in Huo Jingshenâs eyes. He curled his lips into a smile, bent down, and soon he had easily picked up the young girl.
Only then did Su Wanwan give a couple of satisfied hums.
After he had helped her wash up, he said, âIâm going downstairs for a while, come and eat later.â
âOkay.â
After Huo Jingshen left, Su Wanwan dragged her feeble legs towards the sofa to sit down.
A glance at the time showed it was almost midday.
Had she wasted away these two days of winter break?
What a waste.
And she didnât believe she had acted so abnormal the day before.
No matter what, this stinky man surely took advantage of her while she wasnât conscious and lied that he was tired when he was full of energy!
On the contrary, she was the one who felt like an invalidâ¦
Realizing that she wouldnât have classes for the next month because of the holiday, wouldnât he be even more unscrupulous?
No!
Su Wanwan quickly took out her phone and dialed Zhao Qianqianâs number.
âWanwan, whatâs up?â
âWhatâs the update on the internship?â
âTeacher Di is busy with something these days. He said that once heâs free, he will take us to the TV station for orientation.â
âWho else got the internship?â Su Wanwan asked.
âJian Shuhao.â
âWhat?â
âIs there a problem?â
âNo problem.â
She knew she was already married, and Jian Shuhao was not the irrational type.
After exchanging a few words with Zhao Qianqian, Su Wanwan hung up the phone.
She looked at the time and decided to stagger downstairs.
However, the moment she arrived downstairs, she saw two figures, one big and one small, sitting on the living room sofa.
One of them wasâ¦
Fu Qi!
Compared to a few months ago, Fu Qi hadnât changed much. She still looked sweet and obedient. However, after recalling the incident on the phone the previous day, Su Wanwan was not in the mood to give her a pleasant look.
âWhy are you here?â
Su Wanwanâs hostile attitude made Fu Qi nervous.
Fu Qi clenched her fists, about to respond, when Huo Jingshen came out of the kitchen carrying a tray.
âLittle sister-in-law.â Fu Qi stood up, âIâm sorry, itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have answered Brother Jingshenâs phone.â
Su Wanwan looked at her coldly, assuming a mature stance as she scolded her, âDo you know what your actions yesterday meant?â
âWhat?â Fu Qi was confused.
Su Wanwan said, âIâve told you before that no matter how well you knew my husband, or how familiar and understanding you were with him, he is now married, a taken man. If you still yearn for someone elseâs husband, try to interfere in their marriage, or even attempt to cause trouble, you are being a homewrecker! Do you understand what a homewrecker is? If you donât, look it up online, and consider the miserable outcomes experienced by such women as a warning!â
Fu Qiâs sweet face turned pale bit by bit, her lips trembling slightly.
She knew Su Wanwan was tough, but she had not expected that she would scold her right in front of Brother Jingshen.
And, Brother Jingshen didnât stop herâ¦
Su Wanwan continued, âI donât want yesterdayâs incident to happen again. If it does, you wonât be welcome in this house!â
Fu Qi didnât respond. She bit her lip, looking pitiful as she held back tears.
Finally, Huo Jingshen spoke up, but what he said wasâ¦
âFu Qi, did you hear what your sister-in-law said?â
Fu Qi: ââ¦â
She lowered her head, and after a while, managed to squeeze out three words, âI heard.â
Su Wanwan continued to gaze at her with her beautiful phoenix eyes, direct and piercing, untilâ¦
âBaby, come and eat.â
Although Su Wanwan was still a bit dissatisfied, she wanted to walk over. Suddenly, she pinched her throat to speak in a coquettish tone, âHusband, I canât walk.â
Huo Jingshen glanced at her.
Su Wanwan widened her innocent eyes and once again spread her arms wide⦠seeking to be carried again!
