At this point, Beauty Wu no longer hid anything from Wei Shuyi. âDo you still remember the car accident?â
Wei Shuyi was stunned.
âIs the accident related to Dongli Shenghua?â
âYeah.â
Wei Shuyi instantly understood Beauty Wuâs actions. Her cruel rejection was the strongest form of protection for him.
He felt that just hugging her was not enough. He wanted to do it with her over and over again, until both of them were exhausted.
Wei Shuyi once again pressed Beauty Wu under his body. No matter how hard Beauty Wu tried to find an excuse, he wouldnât stop.
The next day, Beauty Wu went to work looking exhausted. She looked like she hadnât slept well, but she was in good spirits, surprising Kang Hui and the rest.
Lin Song was surprised to see her.
Beauty Wuâs appearance reminded him of the scenes in television dramas where the young masters went to the brothel to have fun. Lin Song could not help but tease her. âYoung Master Beauty, where did you go to sleep with a prostitute last night?â
âTsk tskâ¦â Beauty Wu gave Lin Song a meaningful look.
Lin Song felt light-headed from her gaze.
Kang Hui scolded them for being indecent.
âCaptain Wang told me just now that I received a call from the border armed police. They said that a foreign drug lord has entered the country. For the time being, our city might be busy.â
âA foreign drug lord?â
Beauty Wu was shocked. âIn our city?â
âWeâre not sure yet. We havenât grasped their whereabouts. Itâs best if they donât come. If they come, weâll make sure they never return!â
âWhich drug lord is it? Do you have accurate news?â
âIâm not sure yet.â
âAlright, so be it. If he comes, weâll catch him.â
When Wei Shuyi returned this time, he could only stay in Binjiang City for a week. After a week, he had to return to America to continue his studies. Beauty Wu tried not to work overtime and rushed home whenever she was free. On this day, when she was about to get off work, Beauty Wu received a call from Wei Shuyi. He asked her what she wanted to eat as he would prepare it for her when she came back.
Beauty Wu told him six to seven dishes in one go. She was very willful.
Wei Shuyi scolded her for being greedy. After hanging up the phone, he still went to buy groceries.
As soon as she got off work, Beauty Wu packed her things and rushed home impatiently. Kang Hui saw that she was running like the wind and could not help but open WeChat and send her a message.
Senior Brother: [Are you hiding treasures at home?]
Senior Brother: [Youâre running like a rocket.]
Beauty Wu parked the motorcycle downstairs in the small district. As she climbed the stairs, she played with her phone. When she saw her senior brotherâs message, she couldnât help but be smug and sent him a voice message.
Alluring Beauty: [No baby. But thereâs a handsome man.]
Kang Hui replied quickly.
Kang Hui: [Handsome man?]
Kang Hui: [Your Brother Wei is back!?] There was an exclamation mark and a question mark. It was enough to show how surprised Kang Hui was.
Alluring Beauty: [Hmph, of course.]
Kang Hui: [Made up?]
Alluring Beauty: [What do you think?]
Kang Hui: [⦠Shameless adulterous couple.]
Alluring Beauty: [Are you jealous?]
With that, she inserted the key into the lock and opened the door. She thought that the house would be filled with the fragrance of dishes, but she saw that the room was cold.
Beauty Wu was stunned.
She changed her shoes and walked into the house. She first ran to the kitchen and saw the rice cooker cooking. However, she didnât see Wei Shuyi or the ingredients he bought. Beauty Wu was a little surprised. Was he not back yet? That shouldnât be the case. He had called at four oâclock to ask her. He should be back soon. Beauty Wu called Wei Shuyi but he didnât pick up.
Did something happen at the last minute?
She didnât continue arguing with Kang Hui. Instead, she washed her hands and found ginger and garlic. She cut all the supplementary ingredients for Wei Shuyi first.
Wei Shuyi was especially picky when he cooked.
Take the Fresh Ginger for example. He had to cut different vegetables differently. Some had to be cut into slices, some had to be cut into shreds, and some had to be chopped into pieces. Beauty Wu stared at the large plate of supplementary ingredients that she had cut and couldnât help but sigh.
Look at her man. He was so hard to please.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark and that her man was still not back, Beauty Wu called Wei Shuyi.
This time, it was connected and rang for more than twenty seconds.
Thinking that Wei Shuyi wouldnât pick up again, Beauty Wu was about to hang up when the call was picked up.
âIâm downstairs.â Wei Shuyi hung up.
Beauty Wu shrugged and threw the phone on the sofa before running to open the door.
She leaned against the door frame and counted down in her heart. From one hundred to twenty, the familiar footsteps gradually approached. Beauty Wuâs gaze naturally landed on the corner corridor below. A white shadow approached her vision. That person walked to the middle of the stairs and looked up. His appearance was exquisite, gentle, and charming.
He looked good.
âHave you been waiting for a long time?â Wei Shuyi asked her with a smile.
He was holding a bag of ingredients in his hand. It was filled with smoke and fire, but Beauty Wuâs heart beat faster when she saw it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She agreed haphazardly before regaining her senses.
âWhy did you take so long?â
When he got closer, she reached for a bag.
The two of them returned home together. Wei Shuyi took off his shoes and carried the groceries to the kitchen before saying, âI met someone who suddenly fell ill.â
âOh?â
âIt was a woman. As we walked, she suddenly fainted on the road.â Wei Shuyi saw Beauty Wu narrow her eyes and guessed that she was thinking too much. He then said, âWhat are you thinking about?â
âBrother is so good-looking. That person must be trying to get close to you on purpose.â
He could not help but laugh.
âNonsense.â
Wei Shuyiâs expression turned serious and he said, âSheâs really not feeling well. I sent her to the hospital and the results of the checkup were that she has anemia.â
âTsk!â
Beauty Wu pursed her lips, still feeling that that person was doing it on purpose.
Wei Shuyi stopped explaining to her. He rolled up his sleeves and asked Beauty Wu to help him prepare the dishes quickly. The two of them ate and saw that it was not even eight oâclock yet. He felt that it was not good to waste time like this. Wei Shuyi suggested, âLetâs go out and shop.â
âSure.â
The two of them changed their clothes and walked out of the district.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature was not especially high.
Wei Shuyi wore a smoky gray shirt and walked in front of Beauty Wu. His handsome back view made Beauty Wuâs heart flutter. Beauty Wu quickly jogged two steps and jumped onto his back.
He caught her firmly.
Fortunately, Beauty Wu was wearing pants tonight. If it was a dress, it would be hard to carry her.
She lay on his back and asked Wei Shuyi in a muffled voice, âWhen are you leaving?â
Wei Shuyi was silent for a moment before saying, âThe day after tomorrow.â
âUgh.â Beauty Wu bit his neck and said, âI canât bear to leave you.â
âThen⦠Why donât I stop working? You can support me.â
He sounded amused.
Beauty Wu thought about it silently and shook her head. âNo, I can raise you, but we have to spend money on our children in the future. I canât afford to spend money on the entire family.â She was used to living alone. Now that she was about to start a family, she had to change this habit of spending money extravagantly.
