The rich stepmother brought her son to the variety show again ~ Chapter 42 Not Behaving Well

Theoretically, this is true, but Chu Rong felt uncomfortable when Fu Ruhui said this. She cleared her throat and tried to change the subject: “No, can’t Xiaoyu sleep with his brother?”

  ”I want to sleep with my mom, and so does my brother.”

  Fu Yu shamelessly represented Fu Nian’s thoughts and said confidently: “Mom wants to sleep with us.”

  Fu Ruhui put Fu Nian on the bed. Hearing the little boy’s declaration, he felt very strange. He hadn’t been home for several months. It seemed that his two sons didn’t miss him very much except for being a little enthusiastic when they saw him for the first time.

  It felt like an arrow hit my heart.

  ”You sleep with mom, so where should I sleep?” Fu Ruhui wasn’t really upset, at most he felt a little jealous, “Don’t you miss dad?”

  ”I miss Dad, but can you please not occupy Mom’s bed like this?” Fu Yu pouted and said seriously, “Dad, you have to be polite.”

  Fu Ruhui’s eyebrows moved. What is this kid talking about? He looked at Chu Rong, whose smile was a little awkward, and tilted his head in surprise. It seems that the kid’s logic was taught by another “kid”.

  He smiled softly.

  ”Then you and your brother sleep together, and dad and mom sleep together.” Fu Ruhui stretched out a hand to Chu Rong and took a step back. “Is this okay?”

  ”Dad, this is not right. My brother and I slept with mom first, so don’t get involved.” Fu Yu shook his head and hugged Chu Rong tightly, saying the buzzwords he learned from Chu Rong, “My brother and I want to sleep next to mom. Brother, lie down quickly, I’m sleepy.”

  Fu Yu patted the seat beside him, and Fu Nian silently moved next to Fu Yu, making his position clear with his actions.

  Fu Ruhui folded his arms and watched the two brothers’ actions, shaking his head and muttering, “Xiao Yu and Niannian have really changed a lot.” They have become cuter.

  Fu Ruhui thought that it was Chu Rong’s credit. The child she taught had the same personality as her own.

  He returned to his seat. Fortunately, the bed was big enough so it wouldn’t be crowded even with two more children. However, with two round heads blocking the way, it was not so convenient for Fu Ruhui to turn sideways to talk to Chu Rong.

  Unlike Fu Ruhui, Chu Rong felt much more relaxed because Fu Nian and Fu Yu were lying in the middle of the bed. It was really uncomfortable to lie on the same bed with Fu Ruhui. Although Fu Ruhui was a gentle person, his attack was too fierce. The scenes that had never been described in the original book were put in front of Chu Rong, and she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.

  Now, with the familiar little ball standing in the middle, Chu Rong felt very at ease, and the sleepiness that had been suppressed was released freely. Not long after lying down, she fell asleep at the same time as Fu Nian and Fu Yu.

  Fu Ruhui was also surprised at how quickly Chu Rong fell asleep. He turned off the small lamp beside the bed and looked at the three people snuggling together with some envy. He had been away from home for a long time, and it seemed that he was not very close to everyone after returning.

  I feel a little unwilling.

  Fu Ruhui leaned against the head of the bed and watched for a long time, finally leaning forward and giving Chu Rong a feather-light kiss on the cheek.

  I feel much more comfortable now.

  Everyone slept well, except Fu Ruhui.

  In the past, when there were only Chu Rong, the mother and her son on the big bed, the three of them, who all had different sleeping postures, didn’t mind each other. They rolled around on the bed, sleeping from upright to horizontal, from one end to the other, and all kinds of weird postures emerged one after another.

  Fu Ruhui has a good sleeping posture. He looks basically the same when he wakes up as before going to sleep. Therefore, with a man like a wooden stake blocking the bed, Chu Rong and the other two can roll around even more unscrupulously.

  Chu Rong and Fu Yu each put one leg and head on Fu Ruhui. Fu Nian was not far behind. He put his two little feet on Fu Ruhui’s shoulders and stretched them a little forward to reach his mouth.

In one night, Fu Ruhui, who was a light sleeper to begin with, woke up more than ten times. He took the legs off his stomach without complaint and adjusted the sleeping positions of Chu Rong and his two sons. Then he went back to sleep. Within ten minutes, they would return to their old ways, except that their positions would be slightly changed.

  After going back and forth all night, when the day broke, the mother and her two children finally stopped tossing and turning. Fu Ruhui let out a long sigh and was finally able to sleep peacefully.

  Because he went to bed the latest, Fu Ruhui was the only one who didn’t wake up in the morning.

  When Chu Rong, Fu Nian and Fu Yu saw Fu Ruhui sleeping soundly, the three of them exchanged glances with each other, opened the door and went downstairs quietly.

  ”Dad actually gets up later than Mom.” Fu Yu seemed to have discovered something new, with a look of curiosity on his face: “Now Mom is not the last one to get up.”

  Every morning Fu Nian and Fu Yu would take the trouble to wake Chu Rong up, but today Chu Rong woke up by herself.

  Chu Rong: “That’s because you didn’t sleep enough when you were a child. If you were my age, you would definitely sleep more than me.” If her subconscious mind hadn’t been uneasy and she hadn’t felt that there was someone she wasn’t familiar with lying next to her, she wouldn’t have opened her eyes so early today.

  Of course, Chu Rong didn’t know how many times she had leaned on Fu Ruhui at night. Her subconscious should not have been uneasy because of Fu Ruhui.

  ”Do we have to wait for Dad to have breakfast?” Fu Nian asked a more crucial question.

  Fu Nian rarely talks nonsense, and whenever he says something, it’s always something worth Chu Rong’s thinking about.

  This is the second day since Fu Ruhui returned home. We didn’t have dinner together yesterday. Today is the first meal our family has together. Wouldn’t it be a bit bad if I don’t wait for him?

  ”Let’s eat first.” After a fierce mental struggle, Chu Rong made a decision, “Dad may not get up until noon. He hasn’t adjusted to the jet lag yet. Let him have a good rest.”

  Fu Nian had no objection: “Oh. The doctor uncle said that we should take the temperature before eating breakfast.”

  Fu nian, a human-shaped sticky note with a good memory, is very competent.

  After taking the temperature, it’s time to eat.

  This morning, we had all kinds of pastries. Fu Yu liked salty ones, Fu Nian liked sweet ones, and Chu Rong liked everything. Sister Yun made custard buns, red bean buns, and small buns stuffed with meat and vegetables, the kind that could be finished in four or five bites.

  ”Ha, I told you I’m in great shape. I never have a fever, and even if I do, I get better quickly. Look, it’s a little over 36 degrees.” Chu Rong showed off while holding the thermometer.

  Fu Nian and Fu Yu had to drink milk first. They had no mouth to speak, so they could only respond with their sparkling eyes.

  ”Let me see.” A man’s lazy voice sounded behind Chu Rong, and the thermometer in Chu Rong’s hand was taken away by a hand.

  She looked back and saw Fu Ruhui, who was wearing pajamas and had come downstairs at some point. He probably hadn’t washed up yet. His hair was a little messy, with a few strands of soft black hair hanging on his forehead. His homely look made him look less oppressive and more gentle and refined than when he was in a suit.

  He looks younger, not like a 30-year-old, but more like a college graduate.

  ”The fever has subsided.” Fu Ruhui squinted his eyes and looked at the thermometer, then nodded with relief. “Measure it twice more at noon and in the evening.”

  ”Oh.” Chu Rong picked up a red bean paste bun and took a bite.

  ”Take the medicine after eating.” Fu Ruhui continued.

  ”Ah?” Chu Rong had bitten half of his bean paste bun. “Are there any medicines?”

  ”Yes. A few packets of instant powder. Sister Yun is frying them.” Fu Ruhui wiped the flour crumbs from Chu Rong’s cheek. “I’ll go wash up.”

  Chu Rong was discouraged, “Why do I still have to take medicine even though the fever has gone away?” After Nian Nian recovered from her illness last time, the doctor said that she didn’t need to continue with medication.

  Fu Nian finished drinking his milk and explained to Chu Rong: “The doctor said that the fever lasted too long, and it hurt your vitality, so you need to replenish it.”

  Chu Rong heard something from Fu Nian’s words, and she asked cautiously, “Is this doctor a Chinese medicine doctor?”

  Fu Nian shook his head and said, “I don’t know.” He really didn’t know the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Anyway, all the doctors wore white coats.

  ”Then the granules that Fu Ruhui mentioned couldn’t be…” Chu Rong looked towards the tightly closed kitchen. Although Sister Yun had turned on the range hood, there was still a slight bitter smell floating out through the crack in the door. Chu Rong didn’t notice it just now, but now with the psychological effect, she felt that the smell was very pungent.

  It’s really Chinese medicine!

  Chu Rong’s face turned green.

  When she was young, a relative of hers was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and whenever she had a headache or a fever, he would prescribe medicine for her. Chu Rong was therefore fortunate enough to drink Chinese medicine several times. Perhaps her tolerance for bitterness was too poor, and every time she drank it, it was so bitter that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.

  But since she couldn’t refuse his relatives’ kindness, Chu Rong could only refuse to get sick, cut off the problem at the source, and cultivate an indestructible body – in short, she would not take medicine when she was sick.

  Chu Rong, who hadn’t taken medicine for so many years, had survived a minor cold and other things, and now Fu Ruhui was going to give her Chinese medicine? No, Mr. Fu!

  The red bean paste bun in her hand no longer smelled good. Chu Rong put down the half-eaten bun dejectedly, “To be fair, I think my illness has been cured.”

  Fu Nian was very polite: “Yes.”

  ”So, classmate Fu Nian, do you think it is necessary for a healthy person to continue taking medicine?” Chu Rong clenched her fist as a microphone and put it to Fu Nian’s mouth.

  Fu Nian coughed and said, “That’s what the doctor said.” The implication was that my opinion was not important and you should still drink it.

  ”Mom, don’t you want to drink? You’ll get better faster if you drink the medicine.” Fu Yu took a bite of the meaty bun. The gravy was rich, and the aroma was fragrant. He narrowed his eyes happily. “Aunt Yun’s meat buns are delicious.”

  Chu Rong naturally couldn’t set a bad example for her children. It would be bad if the children avoided taking medicine when they were sick next time. She first denied it: “No, I don’t want to take it.” Then she changed the subject: “I just think it’s unnecessary.”

  ”What do you mean it’s unnecessary?” Fu Ruhui finished washing up and pulled a chair next to Chu Rong with a fresh breath. Seeing that she had eaten half of the bean paste bun, he smiled and said, “Can’t finish it?”

Chu Rong was already used to Fu Ruhui’s cat-like light footsteps. She was enveloped by the mint scent on Fu Ruhui’s body and moved her butt inconspicuously. “Nothing. It’s just the granules you just mentioned, Mr. Fu. You don’t mean the kind of granules made by boiling various herbs into juice, right?”

  Fu Ruhui smiled gently: “How clever.”

  Chu Rong: “…” Well, it’s you, Fu Ruhui, as expected.

  She was still sad, thinking about how to convince Fu Ruhui like she had convinced Fu Nian and Fu Yu, but Fu Ruhui skipped the topic and naturally picked up the remaining half of the bean paste bun on Chu Rong’s plate, tasted it, and commented, “Sweet.”

  ”That’s how red bean paste is,” Chu Rong subconsciously defended the red bean paste buns, then reacted: “Mr. Fu, it seems like you’re eating my half.” Or the leftovers.

  ”Yes, that’s right.” Fu Ruhui ate the small bun in three bites and nodded as if it was a matter of course.

  Chu Rong was furious: “Mr. Fu, I am a patient who still needs to take medicine. Be careful not to get infected by me.”

  Fu Ruhui looked at Chu Rong with a smile in his eyes, “What did you call me?”

  Chu Rong immediately retracted her accusatory look and attentively picked up two red bean paste buns and handed them to Fu Ruhui: “There are more here, please enjoy.”

  Fu Ruhui laughed out loud.

  ”Dad, why are you eating Mom’s?” Fu Yu, the little justice messenger, stood up. He witnessed the whole process of Dad eating Mom’s bag and had a say. “If you want to eat it, you can take it yourself. Mom said that you can’t steal other people’s things.”

  Fu Ruhui remained calm and showed no remorse: “That’s other people. Dad and mom are different.”

  ”Why is it different?”

  Fu Ruhui said: “Dad belongs to Mom, and Mom belongs to Dad. Mom and Dad’s things originally belong to each other. There is no such thing as snatching. Do you understand?”

  Fu Yu asked stupidly: “Who is the other party?”

  ”…” Fu Ruhui propped up his head and smiled helplessly.

  Chu Rong’s face flushed at what Fu Ruhui said. She quickly changed the subject and stopped this meaningless discussion: “Okay, Xiaoyu, you haven’t finished your buns yet. You have to eat them all. No leftovers.”

  Fu Yu was distracted, “Oh, Mom, I won’t leave any food, I want to eat another bun.”

  ”…Don’t eat too much, your stomach will be bloated.”

  After breakfast, Fu Ruhui went upstairs to change clothes.

  ”Are you going out soon?” Chu Rong asked.

  Fu Ruhui shook his head, “Someone will come.”

  ”Ah? Is it a guest? Then I should change too.” Chu Rong realized that it might be Fu Ruhui’s business partner. Since he came to her house, she, as the nominal hostess, should dress up.

  ”No need to be so grand, you’ll be fine like this.” Fu Ruhui thought for a moment, “Not a business person, you take the medicine first.”

  Since it wasn’t business, then it should be Fu Ruhui’s friend? Even if it was just a friend, she probably didn’t know him, so she still had to clean up. It was too inappropriate to wear a nightgown.

  ”I’d better change.” Chu Rong walked into the elevator, “Put the medicine aside for later.” Anyway, when Fu Ruhui’s friends come, he will definitely not force her to drink it in front of her friends, and then dawdle until noon, hehe, then it will be lunch time.

  Fu Ruhui just looked at her secretly delighted expression and said indulgently, “Okay.”

  After changing his clothes and coming out, Fu Ruhui was really dressed casually, a white short-sleeved shirt and black casual pants. If you didn’t know him, you would think he was going out for a run.

  In contrast, Chu Rong wore a lavender dress with some sparkling chips on it, which at least barely looked like a little dress.

  Fu Ruhui raised an eyebrow at Chu Rong’s outfit and praised sincerely, “So beautiful.”

  Chu Rong: “…” Don’t think I can’t see the mockery that’s about to overflow from your eyes.

  ”I’d better change into a new one.” Chu Rong said depressedly. she didn’t expect that Fu Ruhui’s words about not being too formal were really so unceremonious.

  ”No need.” Fu Ruhui pulled Chu Rong, his slender fingers easily clasping her slender wrist, “That’s it.”

  Fu Ruhui had said so, what else could Chu Rong do? Besides, this little skirt was really beautiful, she liked it very much, and wearing it at home would not bother others.

  ”Purple suits you very well.” Fu Ruhui helped her adjust the hem of her skirt. “You are as beautiful as peach and plum.”

  Chu Rong continued: “Cold as ice?”

  Fu Ruhui curved his lips and said, “Are you cold? Where?”

  Chu Rong would always be slow to react to Fu Ruhui’s direct flirting for a few seconds. When she realized that he was praising her for her beauty, she felt embarrassed: “Mr. Fu, can you not be so direct all the time?”

  ”Does it offend you?” Fu Ruhui said, “Sorry, I will change it.”

  “No, that’s not an offense.” Fu Ruhui switched between his gentlemanly and romantic sides too quickly. Chu Rong waved her hand and said, “It’s not that serious. I’m just not used to it.” she was not used to the stern and icy president in the article being so…straightforward.

  ”Not used to it?” Fu Ruhui’s eyes darkened. “We have always been like this before. Is it because I haven’t been back for too long?”

  ”No,” Chu Rong’s heart was alarmed. She denied it immediately after hearing it, but then she forgot about it. She was unconsciously led by Fu Ruhui’s emotions. “It’s my fault.”

  Is this how Fu Ruhui and the original owner get along?

  This is too different from what is written in the original novel. When Fu Ruhui and the heroine were together in the later period, he was not described as so down-to-earth? In Chu Rong’s heart, Fu Ruhui has always been a standard overbearing president – cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Even to the person he loves, he will only say with red eyes, “You are mine, forever, don’t think about escaping from my world.” He is like a superior in relationships, occasionally emotional, always silent, and will block bullets for his lover but will not buy breakfast for his lover.

  Such a person, holding her hand, said calmly “You are so beautiful”, and always had a smile on his face. He was not at all like what was said in those crappy novels.

When reading the novel, Chu Rong really couldn’t like the male protagonist. He was like a hot-tempered madman with red eyes, no empathy, and nothing good except being rich. The original owner was not a good person, and Fu Ruhui could not be considered a good person either.

  So much so that after Chu Rong came in, she was worried every day, fearing that the hero would use those “thunderous methods” to deal with her.

  But Fu Ruhui himself showed Chu Rong through his actions that he was actually a normal person.

  So what about the original work she read?

  Is the Fu Ruhui in the story really the Fu Ruhui in front of me?

  Chu Rong felt melancholy, her only golden finger was knowing the plot of the original novel, but now the direction of the plot has deviated a million miles from the original novel. If the ending remains unchanged, it will be the same destination in different ways, but she doesn’t know what the “different way” looks like.

  ”Don’t always think it’s your fault.” Fu Ruhui accepted Chu Rong’s silent scrutiny. “I won’t be away for such a long time in the future. If I stay at home all the time, you won’t be uncomfortable.”

  Chu Rong: “…That’s right.”

  Fu Ruhui smiled again.

  Chu Rong: Sure enough! He laughed again. Fu Ruhui is simply a walking spokesperson for laughter. No wonder he looks so young. It must be because of the saying “A smile makes you look ten years younger”.

  It must be said that because of Fu Ruhui’s always warm smile, Chu Rong’s feeling of melancholy was somewhat dissipated.

  A guest was coming soon. Chu Rong was always worried about it at first, and would pay attention from time to time to see if anyone rang the doorbell. But Fu Ruhui was different. He leaned casually on the sofa with a book in his hand. He looked leisurely and didn’t care about the guest who was coming soon at all.

  Chu Rong wanted to ask out loud, but then she thought that it would be bad if Fu Ruhui was hooked and remembered about Chinese medicine, so she just let him immerse himself in the book, which would be better for everyone.

  So Chu Rong started playing with her phone with peace of mind.

  It is new, and the mobile phone number and accounts on various social platforms are also new. Because Chu Rong could not remember the original owner’s account and password, she had to register a new one. The current contact is only Fu Ruhui.

  The advantage of a new account is that there are not so many messages to read in the background. Chu Rong had not yet clicked on all the red dots. Now, her phone was broken, and everything she needed to check was lost. Chu Rong was now debt-free.

  Fu Nian was doing his own summer homework, and Fu Yu was doing the summer homework assigned to him by Chu Rong – practicing looking up words in the dictionary.

  In the whole house, Chu Rong was the only one who was grinning and laughing. When she saw an interesting video, she would laugh silently until his shoulders trembled.

  Chu Rong had already forgotten about the guests.

  Therefore, when the doorbell rang and Sister Yun went to open the door, Chu Rong had not yet realized the importance of the matter.

  The person in the video was stewing himself in an iron pot, and Chu Rong was watching with great interest.

  ”Hello, Mr. Fu. Is this Mrs. Fu? Nice to meet you.”

  Such words suddenly reached Chu Rong’s ears, and her wild laughter paused.

  Fu Nian and Fu Yu had already stood up and greeted the newcomers: “Hello, uncle and aunt.”

  Chu Rong realized it later and put away her phone, stood up, and first gave Fu Ruhui, who was smiling and nodding, a look without any expression: Why didn’t you call me?

  Fu Ruhui seemed not to understand what she meant. He came over and held her waist, and said softly as if speaking casually, “The medicine is ready. Drink it obediently and don’t be angry, okay?”

  From the corner of her eye, the guest seemed to cast a subtle glance at her.

  Chu Rong: …

  You are so cruel.
