When Fu Shiyan walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, he saw the woman sitting on the corner of the bed. He was surprised for a moment, "Why don't you sleep more."
Jiang Shu hugged his knees and looked at him, "I can't sleep anymore. Why have you been so busy all night?"
When she asked this question, there was expectation in her eyes, and she really hoped that he could tell the truth.
Fu Shiyan lowered his eyes slightly and wiped his hair with a towel, "The matter is a bit tricky and it will take a long time to deal with it."
When answering, he avoided her sight.
Jiang Shu's heart sank, but he didn't show any expression, "Things that need to be dealt with on New Year's Eve are indeed difficult."
Fu Shiyan didn't seem to notice anything wrong in her words, and suddenly remembered something, "When I returned to the old house this morning, the two elders said that you went out last night and never came back. Is this true?"
It was a very plain confusion. Jiang Shu tried to hear some worry in it, but unfortunately, she didn't hear it.
"There is a picture that needs to be changed temporarily."
Maybe he was too tired to care about this.
"It's too late. It's not safe outside. Try not to do this in the future." Fu Shiyan frowned slightly and put down the towel.
"Yeah." Jiang Shu stepped forward and didn't mention at all that he didn't come back last night.
Fu Shiyan hugged her from behind and felt the tenderness for a moment, "You called me twice yesterday. What happened?"
He called back this morning, but no one answered. Only when he called Ming Yuan did he find out she was back.
He seemed very tired, and Jiang Shu could feel the heaviness that could not be concealed under his calm tone.
"I wanted to ask when you would be back, but I didn't expect you wouldn't answer." Jiang Shu forced a smile and covered it up.
"……Busy."
Fu Shiyan hugged her tighter. For Jiang Shu, this felt more like a guilty conscience...
She remembered what Zhou Liangqi said.
He said it seemed there wasn't much trust between you.
Fu Shiyan needed to catch up on some sleep, so when he was lying on the bed, he held her waist and refused to let her go, "Stay with me."
Such dependence made Jiang Shu feel pity. She took a deep breath and probed: "Fu Shiyan, we are husband and wife. I am honest with you, will you be honest with me?"
The man's hot breath on her neck was obviously paused, and he quickly answered: "Of course."
"Then don't lie to me, okay?"
Fu Shiyan realized something was wrong, opened his bloodshot eyes, and asked her to face him, "Why do you say this suddenly?"
He was so natural that Jiang Shu almost breathed a sigh of relief and doubted the authenticity of what Zhou Liangqi said.
She shook her head, "...it's nothing. It's the first day of the new year. Let's have a new look."
Fu Shiyan hugged her tighter.
He slept until the afternoon. When Jiang Shu woke up, there was no one around him.
She ran out of the master bedroom barefoot and looked down from upstairs. She happened to see a man standing in the entrance hall preparing to go out. He heard the sound and raised his head, and immediately frowned, "Put on shoes."
Jiang Shu didn't move, "Where are you going?"
"I went to pick up your father and forgot about him?" he teased.
I really forgot, Jiang Shu nodded, "Then when you come back, can you bring me some dessert from Green Garden? I want to eat her strawberry mille-feuille."
Fu Shiyan curled his lips and held the car keys tightly, "Okay, let's go put on shoes."
After the people left, there was the sound of an engine outside. Jiang Shu walked back, thinking that both Laozhai and Mingyuan had drivers. Why was Fu Shiyan so thoughtful that he went to pick up Lao Jiang himself?
She shook her head, realizing that this idea was wrong, but the doubt couldn't help but take root.
The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. After all, she couldn't hold it in anymore. After Fu Shiyan drove away, she immediately ran out of Mingyuan and took a taxi. "Master, follow the Porsche in front of you."
