The rich stepmother brought her son to the variety show again ~ Chapter 41 Tenderness

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {10+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

The night is as dark as water, and the moonlight is bright.

  It was already past midnight, everything was quiet, the sound of even breathing could be heard beside her, and beneath her was a soft mattress, which looked like the best configuration for sleeping, but she had just woken up after two days of sleep and was not sleepy at all. Not only was she not sleepy, Chu Rong felt that she could stay awake until dawn.

  Chu Rong closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to sleep at all.

  She folded her hands on her abdomen and stood straight like a zombie.

  The breath of the mature man was only half an arm’s length away from her. In fact, this distance could be completely ignored because Chu Rong could almost feel the breath flowing around her ear.

  Fu Ruhui falls asleep so quickly!

  Chu Rong really overestimated herself. While Fu Ruhui was taking a shower, Chu Rong lay on the bed and began to force herself to fall asleep. Fu Ruhui said that he might be a little slow, but according to Chu Rong’s usual experience, he should be able to fall asleep within ten minutes.

  So Chu Rong maintained a proper sleeping position and relied on her ears to identify what Fu Ruhui was doing. She felt Fu Ruhui open the door after taking a shower, walked two steps and there was no movement, then the mattress sank slightly, it should be Fu Ruhui lying down.

  She lay there so naturally. If Chu Rong didn’t know the original story, she would have really thought that Fu Ruhui liked to be with her.

  The original novel says that Fu Ruhui only wanted to find a suitable person to take care of his two children, and his marriage with Chu Rong was a kind of arranged marriage. He was only polite and courteous to her. Later, the original owner did something that disappointed Fu Ruhui. After the two divorced, Fu Ruhui happened to meet his true love Hao Hanyun, and the two fell in love and got married soon.

  There is indeed a big gap between the Fu Ruhui in the original novel and the Fu Ruhui lying next to her now. She feels that the current Fu Ruhui is a little ooc[1]Out Of Character, because it is impossible for the Fu Ruhui in the original novel to lie on the same bed with Chu Rong.

  Could it be that Fu Ruhui was also betrayed?

  Chu Rong quietly turned over and moved a little further away from Fu Ruhui.

  ”Can’t sleep?”

  Fu Ruhui suddenly spoke in the darkness. His voice was very soft, but Chu Rong, who was tiptoeing, was frightened.

  Fu Ruhui saw Chu Rong’s shoulders move in the moonlight and wanted to laugh: “Are you scared?”

  Chu Rong couldn’t pretend anymore and could only hum quietly, “You haven’t slept either?”

  Fu Ruhui smiled and said, “I slept for a while and woke up.”

  Chu Rong silently pondered what he meant. Did he mean that she had woken the person up?

  Chu Rong was about to apologize when he heard Fu Ruhui continue, “You haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet.”

  Chu Rong’s mind suddenly became clear at this time, “It’s been a day, and you still haven’t recovered?”

  Niannian said that Fu Ruhui came back yesterday.

  Fu Ruhui was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, “Yeah, it hasn’t turned over yet.”

  Chu Rong was somewhat bewildered by the laughter. After she realized it, she thought that Fu Ruhui was trying to give her a way out, but she was tactless enough to expose Fu Ruhui’s white lie. Even Fu Ruhui was made to laugh by her.

“Oh.” Chu Rong said dryly, “I’m going to sleep soon. I won’t disturb you.”

  ”You didn’t disturb me.” Fu Ruhui said softly, “Aren’t you unable to sleep? Can I chat with you for a while?”

  ”No, no, no, that’s not necessary.” Chu Rong’s heart was alarmed. Chat for a while? What could Fu Ruhui talk to her about? What else could they talk about besides Fu Nian and Fu Yu?

  Her voice was very spirited. Fu Ruhui asked to himself, “Are you interested in variety shows now?”

  Chu Rong didn’t expect Fu Ruhui to ask this. She was a little surprised and answered honestly: “No, I just took it casually. If you don’t like it, I definitely won’t take it.”

  Fu Ruhui said: “Do whatever you like, don’t worry about my opinion. I just want to ask, do you like doing variety shows?”

  Fu Ruhui’s words might be polite, but it is undeniable that the sincere tone of his words, “Do whatever you like,” sounded indescribably beautiful to Chu Rong’s ears.

  From childhood to adulthood, Fu Ruhui was the first person to say such words to her.

  As a person who is almost entirely dominated by her parents and people around her from school to work, Chu Rong doesn’t actually have many ideas of her own, because living like this is actually quite comfortable, just lacking a little passion.

  If someone asked her what her hobbies were, Chu Rong would probably just smile and say, of course, sleeping.

  It seemed like she really hadn’t thought about what she liked to do for a long time.

  When Fu Ruhui asked this, Chu Rong really couldn’t answer.

  ”Mr. Fu, to be honest, I only went on the variety show to make money.” Chu Rong didn’t know how to tell Fu Ruhui. She was not good at making up lies, so she could only tell Fu Ruhui honestly: “And that variety show wasn’t that difficult, so I…did I cause you a lot of trouble?”

  Fu Ruhui already knew from Fu Nian the purpose of Chu Rong’s participation in the variety show, but when he heard Chu Rong say it herself, he still couldn’t describe his inner feelings. Chu Rong didn’t like variety shows, but was still willing to participate in order to make money. Is it really like Niannian said, that Chu Rong didn’t want to spend his money?

  Fu Ruhui felt a little uncomfortable.

  ”No trouble.” Fu Ruhui said gently, “Are you feeling bored at home?”

  Chu Rong said: “No, I just feel that I should find a job of my own. It’s a bit inappropriate to stay at home all the time.”

  ”So you want to find a job?” Fu Ruhui thought, “Can you accept playing the piano now?”

  ”Ah?” Chu Rong was confused. “Mr. Fu, what are you… talking about?”

  Fu Ruhui raised his hand and paused in front of Chu Rong. After noticing that she didn’t avoid his gaze, he gently brushed Chu Rong’s wrist and said, “Didn’t you say before that you didn’t want to play the piano anymore?”

  Chu Rong was confused.

  What playing the piano?

  You mean the piano?

  There is a description about the piano in the original book, but it has nothing to do with Chu Rong. That is the specialty of the heroine Hao Hanyun.

  Why would Fu Ruhui say this to her? Could it be that the original owner could also play the piano?

  Her reaction didn’t seem fake, and Fu Ruhui was a little surprised, “What’s wrong? Don’t you remember?”

  Chu Rong didn’t want to say it too absolutely, and said vaguely: “No, but why did you suddenly say this.”

  Fu Ruhui withdrew his hand and stared at Chu Rong for a while. His eyes hidden in the darkness showed no emotion. “Nothing. Do you want to find a job?”

  He asked the question again.

  Chu Rong retracted her hand that was touched by Fu Ruhui, and the skin on her wrist felt a little hot.

  ”I want to find a class to attend.” Chu Rong thought for a moment, “But there’s no rush.” ​​Anyway, I still have some money on hand, so I can invest or something.

  ”Okay.” Fu Ruhui nodded. “If you don’t mind variety shows, I happen to know someone who is doing this, and it’s more professional than the previous production team.”

  Chu Rong thought, is Zhong Chunhe’s program so unprofessional? Boss Fu seems to have complained about it many times, both openly and secretly.

  ”I’ll help you look at the program planning when the time comes. If it’s suitable, you can take it to relax and not be bored.”

  Chu Rong was flattered. It sounded as if she took the variety show just to have fun. From Fu Ruhui’s tone, it seemed as if he was asking her to make money by traveling.

  Zhongchunhe and that show were already very relaxing for Chu Rong. Could Fu Ruhui find her a more relaxing variety show? Wouldn’t it be recorded at home?

  ”Mr. Fu, are you giving me resources?” Chu Rong coughed lightly. She was a little confused by Fu Ruhui’s kindness and could only half-jokingly say, “You are my financial sponsor.”

  Fu Ruhui was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Really?”

  ”Yes, yes.” Chu Rong pecked at the rice like a chicken, “Thank you, Mr. Fu.”

  He was just trying to keep talking as a joke, but Fu Ruhui suddenly became persistent: “That’s it?”

  Chu Rong: “Well…what else?”

  Fu Ruhui: “Just thank you?”

  ”Then tell me, what do you want?” Mr. Fu, who was usually very gentle and generous, suddenly started to haggle over trivial matters. Chu Rong had no choice but to lower her head.

  ”Then let’s exchange it.”

  ”What in exchange?”

  Fu Ruhui pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “Then let’s change the name.”

  ”Change, what name should I change to?” Chu Rong had a bad feeling. Her ears started burning in advance. She probably guessed what Fu Ruhui wanted to say.

  ”What do you think?” Fu Ruhui curled his lips, “How should you call me?”

  Chu Rong: “…” As expected!

  ”Hmm?” Fu Ruhui seemed to see Chu Rong’s head burning with smoke, but he still said gently: “Do you want me to tell you?”

  Even though she couldn’t see Fu Ruhui’s face, Chu Rong could still feel his burning gaze in the darkness.

  He is such a gentle person, why does he seem so aggressive when he becomes strong?

  But Fu Ruhui’s request was not excessive. They were a legal couple, so it was okay for her to call him that.

  Even though Fu Ruhui was staring at her so intently, and it was him who brought it up, the feeling was different from if she had called out herself.

“Old, old…” Chu Rong moved his lips and uttered two words in a very small voice.

  Fu Ruhui smiled, “Can you speak louder?”

  Chu Rong closed her eyes and decided to go all out. It was not like she hadn’t called before anyway.

  ”old……”

  ”Mother!”

  The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Chu Rong’s words. She sat up from the bed as if she had been pardoned. “It was Xiaoyu’s voice!”

  ”I’ll go open the door.” Fu Ruhui stretched out his hand to stop Chu Rong from lifting the quilt. “Cover yourself up. It’s cold at night. Don’t catch a cold.”

  ”…Oh.” It was just a short walk, and she wouldn’t catch a cold, but there was no need to rush to open the door. It would be the same if Fu Ruhui went. She sat on the bed and watched Fu Ruhui turn over and get out of bed, turn on the night light in front of the bed, walk to the door with his long legs in two or three steps, and open it.

  ”Dad, I want Mom.”

  The door opened, and Fu Yu’s voice changed from surprise to disappointment to anxiety and grievance. In just four words, he could switch between so many emotions. Chu Rong felt distressed and hurriedly said, “Xiao Yu, come in.”

  Fu Yu was not the only one outside the door, there was also the helpless Fu Nian. Fu Yu would wake up once in the middle of the night. When sleeping with Chu Rong, Fu Yu would be infected by Chu Rong’s deep sleepiness as soon as he woke up, and fall asleep again in half a minute.

  But this time Fu Yu woke up earlier than before. He found that he was not in the familiar room and bed. Children’s nature was most likely to erupt when they were half asleep. Fu Nian failed to coax him, so he could only bring Fu Yu up to find Chu Rong.

  Besides, he was a little uncomfortable with it and selfishly wanted to sleep with Chu Rong. It would be better if his father agreed to let them sleep upstairs.

  When Fu Yu heard Chu Rong’s voice, he rejected Fu Ruhui’s half-successful hug and passed directly under his arms. His little feet found the big bed with a clatter, and he climbed onto the bed skillfully and got into Chu Rong’s quilt.

  Leaning against Chu Rong and smelling her familiar scent, Fu Yu, who had been humming, suddenly stopped talking. He grabbed a corner of Chu Rong’s pajamas and asked with a pout, “Mom, why don’t you sleep with us? I miss you.”

  Chu Rong didn’t know how to tell this to the child. Fu Ruhui, who happened to be holding Fu Nian in his arms, heard this and raised his eyebrows and said, “Because mommy wants to sleep with daddy.”
