Chapter 3: Foolish Husband

“Big Brother, you’re really too naive. Do you even know that last night, Qiao Yanyan didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, came to my room to deliver coffee, and tried to seduce me?

“I got so angry I used a knife-hand strike to knock her unconscious right on her neck, then I sent her to your room!”

This Qiao Yanyan didn’t seem to take yesterday’s incident to heart at all. She could still eat calmly and without a care?

She’d better behave from now on. Otherwise…

“Fu Shixu, do you have something to say to me?” Qiao Yanyan looked at the male lead and asked.

Fu Shixu gave her a look, signaling her to go to the doorway.

Fu Shixu went out first, and Qiao Yanyan followed. Fu Shiyuan also wanted to go with them, but Qiao Yanyan gently said to him: “Fu Shiyuan, just sit here for a while. I’ll be back soon.”

“Oh.” Fu Shiyuan obeyed her and sat down obediently.

At the doorway—

Fu Shixu looked at Qiao Yanyan with disdain and said: “I hope what happened last night doesn’t happen again!”

Qiao Yanyan was puzzled. “What happened last night?”

“You!” Fu Shixu was a little angry. Was this woman pretending to be clueless?

“Qiao Yanyan, since you’ve already married my big brother, then treat him well. If you dare to bully him, I definitely won’t let you off. Hmph!” After saying that, Fu Shixu left coolly.

He left Qiao Yanyan standing there, completely baffled.

“Crazy!” Qiao Yanyan muttered, then rolled her eyes at his retreating back.

Fu Shixu had gone to work. Qiao Yanyan checked the time—today was Saturday, so she didn’t need to go to school. Luckily, she had two days to adjust.

Fu Shiyuan came over and held her hand, smiling as he asked: “Wife, what were you two talking about?”

“He said I should treat you better.” Qiao Yanyan looked at him and replied with a smile.

“Hehehe, Wife already treats me very well.”

“Wife, let’s go look at the flowers I planted in the garden together!”

“Oh, sure. I actually have something I want to ask you too.” Qiao Yanyan wanted to coax some information out of Fu Shiyuan so she could survive here more smoothly.

The two of them went to the garden together.

Qiao Yanyan couldn’t help but admire the scene. The Fu Family really was wealthy—not only did they have a beautiful villa, but also a large garden, and even a swimming pool behind the villa.

In the novel, the Fu Family was described as the richest family in the Capital, with businesses all over the world. They were unimaginably rich and powerful.

As the two of them watered the plants, Qiao Yanyan casually said to him: “Fu Shiyuan, let me quiz you and see how well you know me.”

Fu Shiyuan nodded innocently. “Okay, Wife, ask me.”

“What’s my name?”

“Wife, you’re so silly. You don’t even know your own name?” Fu Shiyuan looked at Qiao Yanyan like she was the foolish one.

“I’m asking you, so answer seriously.”

“Oh, okay. My Wife’s name is Qiao Yanyan.”

“Where do I go to school?”

“My Wife goes to Huada University.”

“What year?”

“My Wife is a sophomore.”

“What’s my major?”

“My Wife studies computer science.”

“Where’s my home?”

“My Wife’s home is right here, of course.”

“I mean my maiden home.”

“From here by car, it’s less than an hour away, right? I remember when we got married, I went to pick you up myself. Hehehe.”

Qiao Yanyan nodded. “Fu Shiyuan, you’re really amazing.”

She had thought Fu Shiyuan was very foolish, but actually, he wasn’t that foolish. He knew all these details and answered them clearly and logically.

Fu Shiyuan smiled brightly. “Wife praised me—I’m so happy!”

“Fu Shiyuan, can you stop calling me ‘Wife’? You keep calling me that—it sounds… weird.” Qiao Yanyan said.

Fu Shiyuan pulled her to sit by the flowerbed. They had just finished tending the flowers, so both of their hands were muddy.

“If I don’t call you Wife, what should I call you?”

“Call me by my name. Call me Yanyan.”

“But I like calling you Wife.”

Looking at his silly expression, like a little puppy, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse. She had no choice but to nod. “Alright, fine. But can you call me Yanyan in front of others, and only call me Wife in private?”

“Got it, Wife!” Fu Shiyuan hugged her tightly.

She was so petite, and Fu Shiyuan wrapped her snugly in his arms.

Suddenly, Qiao Yanyan unexpectedly felt a sense of security.

She was startled. Had she actually found a sense of security… from this little fool?

She forcefully pushed him away and stood up. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.

Qiao Yanyan took out the phone from her pocket and saw on the screen: a call from “An An.”

An An… Su An’an? The female lead of the story?

She picked up the call, and a gentle voice came from the other end: “Sister, are you awake?”

Qiao Yanyan replied: “Mm.”

“Today is Sunday and there’s no school. Come home for lunch, okay?”

“Oh.”

“Then come back early. I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Alright.”

“Sis, your tone sounds… kinda weird?”

“No, maybe I felt dizzy yesterday.”

The person on the other end suddenly became nervous. “Huh? But you were fine at school yesterday, weren’t you? How come you suddenly got dizzy? Then I’ll come to your house to see you!”

“No, no, I’m fine. I’ll be going back soon. Really, I’m okay.”

“Really? Don’t force yourself, Sister.”

“Really, I’m totally fine. I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay, Mom and I will wait for you. She’ll cook your favorite dishes.”

Qiao Yanyan hung up and recalled the plot. According to the book, Qiao Yanyan had been raised by her aunt and uncle. Her aunt treated her very well.

Perfect—she could use this visit to talk to the female lead and familiarize herself with the world, and at the same time, ask some questions that would help her survive here.

“Wife, are you going home?” At some point, Fu Shiyuan had come up behind her and asked.

Qiao Yanyan nodded. “Mm, can you have the driver take me home?”

Fu Shiyuan nodded, but looked aggrieved. “I want to go too. We’ve been married for 23 days, and you’ve never taken me back with you.”

Taking him home… probably wasn’t very appropriate, was it?

“Can you be good and stay home? I’ll be back after lunch.” Qiao Yanyan coaxed him like a child.

“Oh.” Fu Shiyuan’s whole face drooped. It was obvious he was unhappy.

Seeing his expression, Qiao Yanyan felt guilty and said comfortingly: “Don’t be upset, okay? Just wait at home for me. I’ll be back very soon.”

“Oh. Shixu went to work, now you’re leaving too. It’s like this every day. I’m home all alone again…” Fu Shiyuan looked at her, and there seemed to be a shimmer of tears in his eyes!

Qiao Yanyan’s heart softened. She looked at him and asked: “Are you really that lonely at home?”

“Mm.”

“Then you can go out to have fun—go to the mall, stroll around, go to amusement parks.”

“Every time I go out, there’s always a bunch of people following me. And no one plays with me. I’m always alone…”

God, he was so adorable. How could she bear to leave him behind?

Qiao Yanyan gave in. “Alright, fine, you can come with me!”

Fu Shiyuan’s eyes lit up and sparkled instantly. “Really, Wife?”

“Really. But we need to change clothes and shoes. Look, we’ve got dirt all over us.”

“Okay, okay! Let’s go change!”

Fu Shiyuan grabbed her hand, and the two of them changed into a new set of outfits. Hand in hand, they went downstairs together.

The servants and the butler were all stunned.

When had the Eldest Young Madam ever treated the Eldest Young Master so patiently? What was going on today?

As soon as Fu Shiyuan reached the bottom of the stairs, he called out: “Butler Wang, my Wife and I are going out. Please have the driver take us.”

Butler Wang walked over with a smile and asked: “Young Master, Young Madam, where would you like to go?”

“I want to go home with my Wife.”

Butler Wang smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll arrange a driver right away.”

A Bentley pulled up at the door. Butler Wang opened the door for them, and Fu Shiyuan beamed at Qiao Yanyan. “Wife, you go in first—ladies first.”

Qiao Yanyan got into the car first and thought to herself, Fu Shiyuan is actually quite the gentleman.

She glanced at the luxury car again and thought of her own Chevrolet, which cost only a little over 100,000 yuan. It was probably already a pile of scrap metal by now!

Fu Shiyuan instructed the driver to start driving, and the car smoothly set off.

He held her hand and smiled at her.

Qiao Yanyan felt uncomfortable and tried to pull her hand back, but then thought—he was just a little fool—so she let it go.

“I’m so happy!” Fu Shiyuan whispered in her ear.

“Happy about what?”

“Going out with Wife, of course! It’s my first time going out with you.”

Looking at this handsome man—he had once been the high and mighty President of the Fu Company. Unfortunately, a car accident three years ago had left him mentally impaired. Otherwise, he would surely still be a powerful and formidable figure today.

Qiao Yanyan patted his head. “Since you’re so happy, I’ll take you out more often in the future.”

“Wife is the best. My parents never took me out much. Do they not like me because I’m a fool?”
