The streets near the university town are filled with the smell of fireworks.

　The road was crowded and Ye Xing sat in the taxi, closing her eyes and daydreaming.

　Information, true or false, continued to interweave in her mind.

　As they approached the Fu Corporation building, Ye Xing felt uneasy for some reason.

　She called her mother. Although her mother had the habit of going to bed early, she answered the phone immediately after she called.

　”Xingxing.”

　On the other end of the phone, Wen Tian’s voice was as gentle as ever: “You haven’t called your mother for a few days. Your mother is worried about you.”

　When Ye Xing heard this, a look of astonishment flashed across her eyes.

　She remembered that she didn’t want to be arranged into a marriage by the Ye family who brought her back, so she was very upset recently and didn’t call back.

　But now she realized that her marriage partner was actually the person she was looking for.

　”Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry.”

　Ye Xing coaxed her softly, as she had missed her mother especially these past few days.

　The mother and daughter talked for a while. Finally, Ye Xing lowered her voice and asked her mother, “Mom, did you say before that I am a little mermaid?”

　Wen Tian was stunned.

　It took her a while to realize that she had told this story to her daughter.

　At that time, Xingxing, who was still a cub, was fascinated by mermaids and often went to soak in the stream, trying to soak out a tail.

　She was afraid that she would catch a cold if she kept soaking like this, so they lied to her and said that she no longer had a tail.

　She is like the little mermaid in the fairy tale, who traded her tail for legs in order to find the little prince…

　The cub Xingxing at that time looked at her legs and even dropped golden beans^[1]crying.

　”The fish tail is so beautiful, why should I change my legs?”

　She asked her mother by the stream with tears in her eyes. Her mother didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so she picked her up and coaxed her: “My dear, you have to change your legs so that you can be my daughter. When you grow up, you will meet your little prince.”

　After many years, Wen Tian felt nostalgic when she heard her mention the little mermaid again.

　She coaxed her daughter as she always did: “Yes, our Xingxing is a beautiful little fish. Now that Xingxing has grown up, she will find a prince she likes outside and bring him back to her mother to see.”

　Mother’s affirmation finally made Ye Xing’s confused memory clear.

　That’s right.

　She is a little mermaid who fell into the world, and her purpose of this journey is to be happily together with her lover.

　”Miss, we have arrived at the Fu Building.”

　The driver politely informed the front seat: “The fare is eight yuan. Do you want to scan the code or pay in cash?”

　“Scan the code.”

　Ye Zhi scanned WeChat, then opened the car door and got out.

　The temperature at night is twice as cold as during the day.

　Ye Xing wore a skirt with a suit jacket. She has a good figure and looks beautiful in anything she wears.

　However, no matter how beautiful she is, she suffers from the cold a lot.

　The lights in the Fu Building were still on.

　Ye Xing came here to ambush someone, but she was not sure about it.

　But she didn’t have any contact information for Fu Ting’an, nor did she know where Fu Ting’an lived. This was the only place she could go.

　There are security guards standing guard in front of the building.

　Ye Xing walked over and asked the security guard: “Uncle, do you know that Fu Ting’an has left the company?”

　The security guard looked at her and said seriously, “Miss, I’m just a security guard. Please don’t ask me for this kind of information.”

　Ye Xing: “…”

　She just asked if Fu Ting’an had finished get off work. Was it necessary to make the security guard feel like he was facing a great enemy?

　Seeing that the security guard refused to reveal the information, Ye Xing could not enter since she did not have an appointment.

　She looked up at the towering buildings.

　After a few seconds, she sat down on the steps.

　There are not many people left in the company, and the employees who come out one after another are not Fu Ting’an.

　Ye Xing’s face turned a little pale from the cold. She hugged her knees and tried to absorb a little warmth under the protection of her coat.

　The temperature is too cold, making people sleepy.

　Ye Xing buried her face, her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.

　I don’t know how long I waited.

　Fu Ting’an, who was busy in the company until late at night, came out.

　Fu Qi followed him, holding the car keys in his hand: “Sir, I’ll go drive the car – Miss Ye?!”

　The light at the front door is bright enough.

　Fu Qi recognized Ye Xing at a glance. After all, Ye Xing was still wearing the gentleman’s coat.

　He looked at Ye Xing in astonishment, then at the expressionless gentleman.

　What’s going on?

　He only knew that there seemed to be a problem with Mr. and Ye Xing’s marriage certificate today. Ye Zhengde kept calling him, but Mr. ignored him.

　Fu Qi’s voice woke Ye Xing up.

　Ye Xing opened her eyes dazedly and looked up at her face which was not made up but was still extremely beautiful.

　Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her watery eyes stared at Fu Ting’an without blinking.

　After a while.

　Just when Fu Qi couldn’t help but ask about the situation, Ye Xing took the lead and called out to Fu Ting’an.

　”Husband.”

　Her clear voice was tinged with grievance, and sounded kind of coquettish and sweet: “Why did you come out just now? I was almost freezing to death.”

　Fu Qi: “???”

　At this moment, Fu Qi felt that he was hallucinating.

　Even though Fu Ting’an was always cold and reserved, his expression froze for a second when he heard the voice of the girl without any warning.

　After Ye Xing called everyone, he stretched out his hand to Fu Ting’an: “I’ve been sitting for a long time, and my legs are numb. Hold my hand for a while.”

　Fu Ting’an didn’t move.

　He didn’t move, and Fu Qi didn’t dare to move either.

　With no one to help her, Ye Xing just waited for a while.

　Then, under Fu Ting’an’s gaze, she slowly and firmly hugged her knees again and buried her face in them.

　In the cold wind.

　Her curled up figure looked like a pitiful and autistic little mushroom.

　The little mushroom shivered from the cold from time to time, but without her husband to hold her in place, she continued to shiver.

　Fu Qi couldn’t bear to watch it any longer.

　He whispered to Fu Ting’an: “Sir, Miss Ye is still young and can’t stand the cold.”

　According to the information he knew, Ye Xing was just nineteen years old this year.

　At the age of twenty-nine, he is definitely an old man compared to Ye Xing.

　”Besides, Miss Ye…is still the young lady after all.”

　As long as Fu Ting’an didn’t break off the marriage with Ye, Ye Xing would still be his future wife.

　I don’t know if Fu Qi’s nagging worked, or if the little mushroom in front of him conveyed her wish to freeze to death to Fu Ting’an.

　Finally…

　Fu Ting’an pulled up the little mushrooms.

　The little mushroom has been frozen until now, and its body is as cold as an ice cube.

　When she stood up, her high heels lost their balance and she tilted towards the stairs.

　Fu Qi’s expression changed slightly.

　Fortunately, Fu Ting’an was quick-witted and caught the person in his arms.

　Ye Xing finally regained some consciousness in his arms.

　She grabbed Fu Ting’an’s clothes with lingering fear and murmured, “I’m scared to death.”

　If she fell down the stairs in her high heels, she would definitely become disabled.

　After Fu Ting’an helped her steady herself, he wanted her to move a little further away.

　But at this moment, Ye Xing had set her eyes on her husband and just wanted to get closer to him.

　She held onto Fu Ting’an’s clothes, but her tone was a little nervous.

　”Hubby, do you… not want me anymore?”

　She thought to herself that she was going to die unjustly.

　When that family arranged a marriage for her, she didn’t know that Fu Ting’an was the person she was looking for.

　If she had recognized him earlier and remembered him earlier, she would have followed her husband obediently.

　Fu Ting’an’s deep eyes fell on her face and looked at her carefully. After looking at her for a few seconds, he found some abnormal signs.

　There were bruises and small scratches on Ye Xing’s forehead and on the collarbone under her neck.

　In addition, the hair scattered around her ears was also stained with blood.

　”Come with me.”

　Fu Ting’an had a vague guess in his heart. He turned around and asked Ye Xing to follow him.

　But Ye Xing had only gone down two steps when she began to stagger as if she was about to fall at any moment.

　Seeing Fu Ting’an stop, she suddenly felt guilty as if she had done something wrong, and explained in a low voice: “I become like this when I’m cold, my body won’t obey me.”

　It’s an old problem.

　She didn’t know the reason before, but now she thinks that maybe fish are not suitable for winter and will freeze easily.

　Fu Ting’an didn’t say anything about this explanation, but he extended his hand again.

　The slender and beautiful big hand was just enough to wrap around Ye Xing’s hand.

　Ye Xing held his hand rudely, leaned against him, and almost put all her weight on him.

　Fu Qi, who was behind him, lagged behind by a few steps.

　He stared at Fu Ting’an’s back with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

　Damn it.

　This is the nth time his husband has let Ye Xing touch him!

　If the last time when Ye Xing fell into his arms while unconscious in the car was just an accident.

　Then just now…

　He reached out to Ye Xing twice! Not only did he reach out, he also allowed Ye Xing to lean on him.

　Fu Qi didn’t think that the master was too soft-hearted. He had followed the master for so many years and had seen with his own eyes beautiful girls trying to scam him at private banquets and fall into his arms.

　But the gentleman dodged it directly, allowing the girl to lose her balance and fall on the hard floor.

　There is also the movie queen who is high and mighty in the eyes of outsiders, who tried many ways but could not get close to the gentleman.

　Fu Qi looked at Ye Xing leaning against Fu Ting’an and felt vaguely that –

　This young lady might really become an exception for the gentleman.

　Soon, the driver, Fu Qi, turned on the heater in the car to add some warmth to the thinly dressed young lady.

　”Where are we going now, sir?”

　There was also the young lady in the car, and Fu Qi was not sure whether he was going to send the young lady away, or send both of them back together.

　”Don’t leave me.”

　Ye Xing suddenly tightened her grip on Fu Ting’an’s arm, her fingertips still showing a light purple color from the frostbite: “There are bad guys where I live.”

　When Ye Xing said this, there was obvious uneasiness in her clear and clean eyes.

　When I was beating someone in the rental house just now, I was only focused on being ruthless.

　Now sitting in the car, in front of the man Ye Xing recognized as her husband, her fear finally dissipated a little bit.

　”That man, he is the landlord’s son, he suddenly broke in and tried to force me.”

　Ye Xing narrated what had just happened. Her slightly trembling voice, like a thin string, plucked the listeners’ emotions.

　The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt: “Hubby, I’m a little scared.”

　No girl can be strong enough when faced with such a thing.

　Fu Ting’an looked at the mist in her eyes and uttered a few comforting words in a cold voice.

　”Don’t be afraid.”

　He handed over the big hand that Ye Xing always wanted to hold. His tone sounded emotionless, but there seemed to be some soothing meaning in his words.

　”The bad guys will be punished tonight.”

　Ye Xing nodded, put on a pretty face, and agreed: “Yes, he must be punished!”

　Fu Qi steered the car and sighed in his heart.

　Well…

　I will have to work overtime again later.

　But this shift must be added, because their young lady is not someone who can be touched by just anyone.

　”Fu Qi, go back to Qiyuan and ask Fu Liang to come over.”

　Fu Liang is Fu Ting’an’s personal doctor.

　Fu Qi was stunned, not knowing why he should call Fu Liang at this time.

　But he didn’t ask any more questions and just called Fu Liang to inform him.

　Twenty minutes later.

　Fu Ting’an’s big hand was still being held by Ye Xing.

　He brought Ye Xing in as if he were a personal attendant.

　Fu Liang was already waiting at the door.

　Seeing the girl next to Fu Ting’an, Fu Liang adjusted his glasses on his nose without even the slightest curiosity.

　”Check her out.”

　As Fu Ting’an walked, he instructed, “Focus on checking the brain.”

　Fu Ting’an is not a fool.

　Ye Xing’s abnormality, and her constant calling him “husband”…

　It’s obvious that there’s something wrong with her brain.

　The habitat is equipped with a complete set of medical equipment.

　During the examination, Ye Xing was still confused: “Why heck? I’m not sick.”

　Maybe it’s because Fu Liang looks a bit fierce, and he can’t pretend to be gentle even with a pair of glasses.

　Ye Xing was a little afraid of him.

　”Hubby, I don’t want to be checked.” Ye Xing resisted, “I’m not sick.”

　She was stubborn and refused to check, and the reason was very simple.

　She didn’t want anyone to find… that she was a fish.

　After a long stalemate, Fu Ting’an pulled his hand away from her palm.

　”You can’t stay tonight if you don’t check it out.”

　Ye Xing: “…”

　Ye Xing’s face turned pale.

　I have to say, this threat worked well for her.

　Her nails accidentally pinched the back of Fu Ting’an’s hand, but Fu Ting’an didn’t even frown.

　”husband.”

　Ye Xing gritted her teeth and pulled Fu Ting’an aside. She looked serious and said to Fu Ting’an in person: “I have a secret to tell you. Be prepared and don’t be scared.”

　Fu Ting’an raised his eyelids and said, “Tell me about it.”

　Ye Xing stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and told him solemnly: “I am not a human, I am a little mermaid.”

　”I traveled thousands of miles from the deep sea just to love you.”

　”Hubby, you have to be nicer to me.”

　Fu Ting’an: “?”

　Without saying anything, Fu Ting’an grabbed her wrist and brought her to Fu Liang: “Check her immediately.”

　This brain must not be kept.

　Ye Xing revealed all her biggest secrets, but Fu Ting’an still coldly asked her to undergo the examination without even a word of warmth.

　To be honest, it kind of hurts the fish.

　The injured Xingxing fish followed the doctor to get checked out in a depressed mood.

　She deliberately let go of Fu Ting’an’s hand as if she was angry, without even looking at him.

　Fu Ting’an watched the door of the examination room close.

　He leaned against the wall behind him, closed his eyes, and raised his hands to press hard on his temples.

　Headache.

　After not seeing each other for a long time, the fiancée who ran away from marriage really turned out to be a little fool.

　And judging from the looks of it, the little fool is sticking to him.

　This was somewhat different from the marriage he had imagined to be just for show.
