“Yeah?”
Fu Ruhui tapped the sofa with his fingers and said slowly, “You must have a very good relationship with that girl.”
”Of course. He had very bad popularity in high school and had few friends he could talk to. I was the only one willing to put up with him.” Chu Rong started to talk, and her expression became very vivid. Fu Ruhui was a very good listener, at least for Chu Rong. This man who smiled quietly but had a serious expression on his face, who obviously had a strong aura of oppression in the business world but was able to restrain himself cleanly, looked like a gentle big brother next door.
”Well, he’s not a girl, he’s a boy. He’s good at studying and very aloof, but he’s afraid of horror movies. Hahaha, super cute.”
”Is that so?” Fu Ruhui’s lips flattened a little more, “It seems that you two are really close. But I haven’t heard you mention it before, are you still in touch now?”
Chu Rong just realized that she was not the original Chu Rong! Fu Ruhui should know most of the original Chu Rong’s background and experience. Suddenly, there was such a person that Fu Ruhui didn’t know. Would Fu Ruhui be suspicious? She was still talking about her high school classmate in front of Fu Ruhui so happily. Would Fu Ruhui be angry?
It wasn’t that he was angry, but Chu Rong felt very uncomfortable when she put himself in her spouse’s shoes and thought about it, as she casually mentioned a member of the opposite sex who was not even known to him in front of her spouse.
She really wanted to slap herself in the face. How could she be so blinded by such beauty? Was she on the verge of being exposed? She was so careless with her words!
She didn’t know whether he was superstitious or not. If he found that she was different from the original owner, would he think that the original owner was possessed by someone else’s soul? Would he think that she was a wandering ghost or something, and then would he find a Taoist priest to drive her away?
If that’s true…
Eh? If that’s true, then it doesn’t seem so bad. If she is driven away by the Taoist priest, can she go home?
So she doesn’t need to hide her true identity at all, just go for it and do it OOC. The weirder Fu Ruhui thinks it is, the better!
Chu Rong’s annoyed heart gradually became excited.
”Mr. Fu, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. Speaking of which, I haven’t contacted that friend for a long time.”
Chu Rong thought carefully about the original owner’s usual words and deeds, and tried to completely change her words and deeds. For example, the original owner would not call Fu Ruhui husband. She only called him that once, and after getting embarrassing feedback, she never dared to call him that again.
Chu Rong took a deep breath and silently encouraged herself: “Ahem…husband. Did I say too much just now?”
What you think in your mind is one thing, what you say out loud is another.
For example, Chu Rong originally wanted to scream louder and more charmingly, but the gap between ideal and reality was too big, she was not brave enough, and the words sounded like mosquitoes when they came to her lips, and even people with level 10 hearing skills could hardly hear what she said.
However, Fu Ruhui’s hearing was obviously better than Chu Rong had imagined, and his reaction was also quite different from what Chu Rong had expected. Fu Ruhui’s smile deepened, and he heard Chu Rong’s two words in a whisper, “Why do you think so?”
”I’m your husband, and I won’t be annoyed by anything you say.”
”Go ahead.”
Chu Rong: “…”
Fu Nian silently covered his ears tighter.
Chu Rong’s sensitive nose detected a hint of stagnation in the air—a familiar smell of awkwardness.
ah???
Hello?
Do you know what you are saying?
Fu Ruhui, have you been possessed by another spirit?
Chu Rong really hated herself for not reading the original novel a hundred times and studying Fu Ruhui’s attitude towards the original owner word by word.
”It’s just that you haven’t recovered from your illness yet, so you’d better get more rest. For exciting movies like this, wait until you have more energy before watching them.” Fu Ruhui looked at the two bags of potato chips that Chu Rong had contracted, and said, “Try to eat less snacks. Okay?”
Still “hmm”?
I admit that you have a nice voice, but please don’t flirt with others casually!
Chu Rong opened her mouth. She felt that after she tried to do it, Fu Ruhui became even gentler than before. Did she accidentally touch some switch in Fu Ruhui?
Chu Rong didn’t deserve this inexplicably doting tone. She watched dully as Fu Ruhui took away the snacks, and then numbly watched him turn off the TV with an expressionless face.
Fu Nian finally freed his eyes and ears.
Fu Yu was burping from eating so much, but he kept chewing with his eyes squinted.
Fu Ruhui gently wiped the potato chip crumbs from the corner of Fu Yu’s mouth and said, “How come your face is covered with food? Just like your mom.” Fu Ruhui raised his eyes and looked at the corner of Chu Rong’s mouth.
Chu Rong immediately reached out and wiped her mouth, “Don’t bother Mr. Fu, I can do it.”
My god, this man is a little abnormal.
The way Fu Ruhui looked at her was so strange. His deep gaze seemed like he had written a ten-thousand-word essay. Chu Rong couldn’t understand it, and didn’t dare to read it.
Fu Ruhui smiled and said, “You missed this part.” He stretched out his bony hands to Chu Rong’s hair and took away some potato chip crumbs stuck on the hair near Chu Rong’s chin.
Chu Rong just watched Fu Ruhui pick up the crumbs in her hair, wrap them together with the crumbs on Fu Yu’s face in a tissue and throw them into the trash can.
Chu Rong felt very complicated.
Fu Ruhui, Mr. Fu, Brother Fu, it is very difficult for me to do this?
Don’t you actually know who your wife’s friends are?
Also, don’t you want to think about whether your wife usually calls you husband?
Chu Rong suddenly realized that being too OOC might not make Fu Ruhui doubt ghosts and spirits, but it would definitely make Fu Ruhui doubt her own mental state!
The mental hospital is more terrifying than the Taoist priest. Chu Rong deeply felt how stupid she was five minutes ago.
”It’s late, go upstairs and sleep.” Fu Ruhui didn’t think she was stupid. Instead, he smiled happily. Once the TV was turned off, the quiet living room easily made him sleepy.
Fu Yu had already dozed off for a while, and Fu Nian also yawned one after another.
”I’ll take them back to their room.” Fu Ruhui came over and picked up Fu Yu, “Can you go upstairs by yourself first?”
Caught off guard, Chu Rong felt that he was hit by Fu Ruhui’s light words again. Can I go upstairs by myself? The adult in his twenties said, “Of course I can.”
Chu Rong didn’t know how to deal with Fu Ruhui’s extremely sweet tone and could only stammer, “Where are you sending them back?” Because she was used to sleeping with Fu Nian and Fu Yu, Chu Rong asked subconsciously when Fu Ruhui suddenly asked to send them back to their room.
”I think their room should be on the second floor.” Fu Ruhui said with a smile.
He answered softly, but his tone was not sarcastic, and he didn’t seem to think that Chu Rong had asked a stupid question.
”ah.”
The room on the second floor was the original room of Fu Nian and Fu Yu. It had been maliciously destroyed before and could not be lived in for a period of time.
Chu Rong was about to say something but stopped herself. Fortunately, she had redecorated Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s rooms long before Fu Ruhui came back. It’s just that the two little ones were not planning to go back to their own rooms to sleep. Chu Rong mentioned it once, but they pretended not to hear her, so she just smiled and let it go.
Fu Nian and Fu Yu have become accustomed to sleeping with her, and she is of course more accustomed to having a regular schedule with her child. Now that Fu Ruhui is back, Fu Nian and Fu Yu can only go back to their own rooms.
Thinking about it, I feel a little sad that I can’t entertain my children at night. It’s a loss of fun as an adult.
It’s not that she couldn’t sleep without the children, she was just worried that Fu Nian and Fu Yu wouldn’t be able to adapt.
”What’s wrong?” Fu Ruhui held Fu Yu’s little butt and saw her standing there, wanting to say something but remaining silent for a few times. He smiled and looked at Chu Rong, “You want to hug me too?”
Otherwise why would he look so disappointed and seem hesitant to speak?
”No!” Chu Rong said hurriedly. What was Fu Ruhui talking about? “How old am I?”
”I can hold you.” Fu Ruhui held Fu Yu with one hand and stretched out his hand to Chu Rong, “Come.”
Chu Rong couldn’t help but look at Fu Yu who was firmly held in Fu Ruhui’s arms. The little guy was sleeping soundly on Fu Ruhui’s broad shoulders. These broad shoulders looked very comfortable.
With such a cute little creature lying on the shoulder of a tall and majestic man, the scene looked warm and harmonious, and Chu Rong’s heart was slightly moved.
But it would be different if she was the one being hugged!
Chu Rong pushed Fu Nian and solemnly placed Fu Nian’s hand in Fu Ruhui’s hand, “Come, Nian Nian, Daddy wants to hug you.”
Fu Nian, who was so sleepy that his eyes were half open, said: “…”
Fu Ruhui smiled and said to Chu Rong, “Daddy will hold you.”
Fu Nian pulled the corner of his mouth, “No need.”
He still didn’t stand between his parents.
In this confrontation, Fu Nian knew very well that he was definitely not the protagonist.
After sending the two children back to their rooms, Fu Ruhui asked, “Has the room been renovated?”
Chu Rong wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and said, “Yes, yes.” His eyes are really sharp. He has been abroad for several months, but he can still see it at a glance.
”I don’t know if they can get used to it.” Before closing the door, Chu Rong took a few more glances at the two brothers sleeping in the same bed. Xiaoyu doesn’t dare to sleep alone, but Niannian should be able to get used to it. If Xiaoyu wakes up in the middle of the night, can Niannian coax him into staying awake?
Chu Rong discovered that an old mother’s mentality is a magical thing. She had obviously not been a mother for long. She was a very young office worker before she traveled through the book. After having two sons inexplicably, Chu Rong found that she could adapt to the role of a mother perfectly.
It’s hard not to feel soft-hearted when facing these two cute and well-behaved little glutinous rice balls.
Fu Ruhui closed the door and asked, “Are you so worried?”
Well, Chu Rong didn’t dare to act rashly in front of their real father. She said righteously, “It’s okay. It’s a good thing for children to be independent early.”
Not knowing which part of Chu Rong’s joke he was touched, he smiled again, “I’ll go take a shower first. You’re sick, so you’d better not take a shower for the next two days.”
”Ah? My fever has gone away.” It’s so uncomfortable not to take a shower. I didn’t take a shower during the two days I was on the show. I will stink if I don’t take a shower in the hot summer.
”Really?” Fu Ruhui naturally raised his hand to cover her forehead, and carefully tested it with the palm and back of his hand. “It’s still a little hot. Let’s see tomorrow. You’ll take a shower tomorrow when it’s cool.”
Chu Rong’s computer crashed again.
What are you doing!
Fu Ruhui, are you still Fu Ruhui?
Or did you and the original owner actually have a very good relationship? Is the script all nonsense?
”You’re not leaving, do you want a hug?” Fu Ruhui stretched out his index finger and tapped Chu Rong’s forehead. There was a small black mole at the corner of her eyebrow, which was slightly covered by her thick eyebrows and was difficult to find without a close look.
”Then I’ll just brush my teeth and go to bed right away. Mr. Fu, please do as you please.” Chu Rong shrugged her shoulders and walked away quickly, with big strides and vigor.
After looking at her back for a few seconds, Fu Ruhui’s smiling expression changed several times, and his eyes revealed a bit of depth. His inquiring gaze paused for a few seconds before Fu Ruhui raised his foot to catch up.
Fu Ruhui could be sure that this was Chu Rong.
Fu Ruhui saw the way she spoke, the pauses in her sentences, and her subconscious little movements. This was the Chu Rong he was most familiar with.
Before going abroad, he and Chu Rong had known each other for a year and a half and had been married for a year. The Chu Rong at that time was the Chu Rong that Fu Ruhui remembered most. Because all in all, in his previous life, that year or so was the only time he spent with Chu Rong every day.
But the Chu Rong I saw when I returned to China a year later in my previous life was completely different from the one now.
So what about the other, completely different Chu Rong? What about his previous life? What about the photo he received after his rebirth?
Fu Ruhui knew that he had fallen into a trap, but this trap was like a flower in the fog. He couldn’t see at a glance who was behind it and what the purpose of the person behind it was. Was Chu Rong being threatened by someone?
A cloud of fog blocked his view, and Fu Ruhui could hardly see the people in the fog.
The only thing that could be seen clearly at this moment was Chu Rong’s slender back.
Fu Ruhui followed Chu Rong and went up one floor directly without taking the elevator.
As they walked, Fu Ruhui felt a little puzzled: “Why are you here?”
”Aren’t we going to rest?” Chu Rong opened the door of the room, a thin layer of sweat oozing out of her palms. Damn it, Fu Ruhui followed her here, he wouldn’t really want to sleep together, right?
Fu Ruhui smiled: “You moved to the master bedroom?”
”ah?”
So this isn’t the master bedroom? That’s where the original owner moved in later.
Chu Rong nodded randomly, “Yes.”
”Okay.” Fu Ruhui nodded, and without saying anything else, he walked into the cloakroom and asked, “Did you help me move my pajamas over?”
Although Chu Rong didn’t know this, she was sure that there were no men’s clothes in the cloakroom.
”No, do you want to get it?”
Fu Ruhui came out with a set of dark grey silk pajamas, “Found it.”
”…” Chu Rong smiled firmly, “Then you go take a shower, I’ll brush my teeth and go to bed.”
”There is only one bathroom in this bedroom.” Fu Ruhui checked the time. “It’s late now. You should wash up first and go to bed after that. I haven’t showered for a whole day, so I might be a little slow.”
From what I heard, does it mean that the master bedroom has more than one bathroom?
Chu Rong said “oh” and went in to brush her teeth first. Fu Ruhui was disgusted with himself even though he hadn’t taken a shower for a day. She hadn’t taken a shower for two or three days, but this guy still wouldn’t let her.
It’s really inhumane.
”What are you thinking about?” Fu Ruhui leaned against the bathroom door and asked her like an old couple.
Chu Rong was feeling indignant about Fu Ruhui’s arbitrary behavior, but unexpectedly he seemed to be able to see what she was thinking. He opened his mouth unexpectedly and Chu Rong almost dropped the toothbrush in her hand.
”Well… I was thinking about your coming back.” Chu Rong made up an excuse.
”About my return?” Fu Ruhui followed up her question and asked, “Why?”
Chu Rong really didn’t expect Fu Ruhui to chat with her. She could only brush her teeth and say, “Boss Fu didn’t even tell me he was coming back. I didn’t even prepare anything.”
Fu Ruhui was indeed not planning to tell Chu Rong in advance. After all, he had some doubts about Chu Rong and wanted to see if the situation was what he thought. If he told Chu Rong, she would be on guard.
This is indeed a bad thing, and he should reflect on it.
Although he thought so, Fu Ruhui certainly couldn’t say it directly: “I’m sorry. You were recording a program, and I was worried about disturbing you. I originally just wanted to see you and leave, but I didn’t expect you to be sick.”
Fu Ruhui was glad that he arrived in time. Chu Rong almost got into trouble when he didn’t know. If he had arrived later, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Chu Rong was not used to being apologized so sincerely. She held the toothbrush in her mouth and said vaguely, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m not blaming you. I just slept for two days for no reason. My brain hasn’t reacted yet, and Nian Nian & Xiaoyu said you’re at home. I can’t help but be a little surprised.”
”It’s not for no reason. You have a fever.” Fu Ruhui really admired her choice of words. At this time, she didn’t take her condition seriously. “You almost had a fever.”
After sleeping for two days, Chu Rong could probably guess how serious the fever was. “Sorry to bother you, Mr. Fu. I don’t remember much about what happened at that time. I just remember that I went out for a walk before going to bed at night. I guess I caught a cold at night.”
”What trouble are you talking about?” Fu Ruhui said helplessly, “It’s not your fault. This director is too reckless and not suitable for the show.”
Why does this sound so much like what the villain in a TV drama would say? Usually, the protagonist in this sentence would be easily killed by the villain.
Fu Ruhui is not a villain, he is the male protagonist.
”Isn’t he suitable for the show? I see his show is quite popular.” Chu Rong took a big sip of water, gulped it down twice, and then spit it out.
Fu Ruhui hummed calmly: “It’s not so hot now.”
”Ah? Is this true?” Chu Rong didn’t quite understand what he meant. “Did no one watch the last live broadcast?”
She wanted to check her phone, but then she remembered that she couldn’t find it.
Fu Ruhui said, “Your phone was broken on the way. I’ll ask someone to buy a new one and send it over.”
”Broken?” Chu Rong was shocked and then felt pain in her heart. That phone was very expensive and very new.
“I don’t know if I can still log into my old WeChat account,” Chu Rong said, a little worried. “What if Zhongchunhe, the director can’t contact me?”
Fu Ruhui wiped a drop of water from her chin and said, “He will contact me. However, your contract will probably not be enforceable.”
”Why?” Feeling a little itchy and a little uncomfortable, Chu Rong tilted her head to avoid Fu Ruhui’s hand.
”Zhong Chunhe is currently restricted in his personal freedom. Shiyan Culture has tax problems and is currently under investigation.” Fu Ruhui withdrew his hand and said lightly: “This program will probably need to be rectified for a period of time before it can continue to be filmed.”
Chu Rong couldn’t digest this news for a moment, “Ah?”
”There are some problems with the program itself. Before they are solved, the plan will not pass.” Fu Ruhui came in with his legs raised. “Have you finished washing up? Can I take a shower now?”
Chu Rong made room for Fu Ruhui in a daze. The show was cancelled just like that. A lot of things happened in the two days when she slept.
”Hey.” Chu Rong thought that Zhong Chunhe’s personal freedom was restricted because of tax issues, but she didn’t know that Fu Ruhui was talking about something else. “You have to obey the law. If you don’t obey the law, you will be finished sooner or later, right?”
Chu Rong shook her head. Now, even if she ran away with her savings, she would not breach the contract.
Although they say rectification will be carried out, I don’t know when it will be completed.
