Fu Nian and Fu Yu held hands and walked around the piano twice. The short carrot-head, who was not even as tall as the piano keys, felt a natural sense of awe and curiosity towards the huge thing that was taller than the table. He exclaimed in a low voice as he watched.

　　”So beautiful! Brother, what do you think?”

　　”Yeah, I think so too.”

　　“How do you play this?”

　　“This isn’t a game, this is a musical instrument.”

　　”Brother, what is a musical instrument?”

　　”…It’s the one your father asked a teacher to teach you, but you didn’t want to learn.”

　　”But that one isn’t as big as this one!”

　　”Maybe it’s because this one is played by adults, and the one you learned was brought by the teacher himself for children.”

　　“So will I be able to play this when I grow up?”

　　Fu Nian hesitated and said, “But after you cried and said you didn’t want to learn last time, Dad didn’t plan to find a teacher for you.”

　　Fu Yu lost an opportunity to touch a beautiful piano in vain, and covered his chest with grief: “Brother, I want to learn this.”

　　Fu Nian said mercilessly: “Don’t think that one thing will happen at a time.”

The two of them were discussing loudly, but Chu Rong seemed not to hear anything.

　　At this moment, Fu Ruhui’s voice pulled Chu Rong out of her trance, “Yes, my wife.”

　　Being called out, Chu Rong subconsciously looked towards Fu Ruhui.

　　Standing next to Fu Ruhui was a boy who looked to be about 1.7 meters tall. He was the guy from the music store who came to deliver a piano.

　　Fu Ruhui was chatting with him just now, and he must have mentioned Chu Rong.

　　The person who delivered the piano looked at Chu Rong, and Chu Rong smiled at the right time. He was a young man wearing overalls and a pair of black Martin boots. He was looking her up and down with his arms crossed and looking at her rudely.

　　”Not as pretty as your ex-girlfriend.” After looking at her for a moment, the young man in a baseball cap said coldly.

　　Chu Rong, who was about to introduce herself, said: “…”

　　Fu Ruhui frowned and said, “Fei Ao, what nonsense are you talking about.”

　　”I’m telling the truth.” The young man was unruly and refused to obey anyone.

　　”Does your brother know that you are so rude?” Fu Ruhui hit the snake at its most vulnerable part and said something lightly that made the young man’s face change drastically.

　　’Brother’ seemed to have hit Fei Ao’s soft spot. He shut his mouth and turned his head away.

　　He still looked very unconvinced.

　　Seeing that he was young, Chu Rong didn’t intend to argue with him. Adhering to the good mentality that she was an adult and couldn’t compete with a little brother, Chu Rong walked over with a smile and took Fu Ruhui’s arm, and said in a sweet voice: “Oh, husband, you have an ex-girlfriend, I didn’t know, why didn’t you tell me.”

　　Well, she is hypocritical.

　　No matter how young Fei Ao is, he is still older than Fu Nian and Fu Yu. He is obviously Fu Ruhui’s friend, but he still said such inappropriate words. She was very unhappy. She is not a saint. After all, she is Fu Ruhui’s current wife. Fei Ao actually said in front of her that she is not as pretty as his ex-girlfriend.

　　Don’t have too low emotional intelligence.

　　Fu Ruhui lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Rong’s thin white hands wrapped around his arms. He couldn’t help but smile deeply, exuding a happy atmosphere all over his body: “I don’t have an ex-girlfriend. When I was in love, I told the truth.”

　　How could Chu Rong know what Fu Ruhui and the original owner had known about their relationship? Judging from Fu Ruhui’s tone, it seemed that he and the original owner were both in their first love?

　　No, if it’s his first love, where did his son come from?

　　You’re talking nonsense, right?

　　Chu Rong looked at Fu Ruhui dimly, expressionless but said in a sweet and tender voice: “I know my husband didn’t lie to me.”

　　Fu Ruhui’s shoulders trembled slightly as he smiled. “Yeah, how could I lie to you? Don’t listen to Fei Ao’s nonsense. I’ll call your brother later and ask him to take good care of you.”

　　In the second half of the sentence, Fu Ruhui looked at Fei Ao with a serious tone.

　　Fei Ao looked a little unconvinced, but he seemed to be really afraid of Fu Ruhui’s threat. He took two steps back and forth on the spot, “I want to go back!”

　　”You go ahead.” Fu Ruhui had no intention of keeping the guest. “It’s still early for dinner, so I won’t keep you.”

　　Fei Ao said: “I don’t want to eat!”

　　Fu Ruhui said: “Yes, I didn’t keep you.”

　　Fei Ao was speechless. He looked at Chu Rong with resentment through his eyes hidden by his long bangs. He strode away angrily, his Martin boots making a clacking sound on the smooth floor.

　　”He was not with his parents since he was a child. He was not brought home until he was fifteen. He has a somewhat perverse personality and does not know how to speak properly.”

　　After Fei Ao disappeared from the Fu family, Fu Ruhui explained to Chu Rong in a gentle voice, “Calm down, okay? He listens to his brother the most. I’ll let his brother deal with him.”

　　Hearing this, it seemed that the young man was in a miserable situation.

　　Now Fei Ao seemed younger in Chu Rong’s heart, and his psychological immaturity was not his own fault.

　　Chu Rong felt a little soft-hearted and a little guilty for bullying the kids.

　　She wasn’t angry just now, but Fu Ruhui wanted to help her vent her anger. Chu Rong felt even more embarrassed: “No need, he’s so young. I was just joking, I’m not angry.”

　　Fu Ruhui smiled slightly, “Okay. Don’t take Fei Ao’s words to heart. If you have any doubts, just ask me directly, don’t make random guesses, okay?”

　　Chu Rong hummed twice.

　　”Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Fu Ruhui naturally pulled out his arm that was being held by Chu Rong, and changed his position to clasp Chu Rong’s five fingers.

　　She actually held Fu Ruhui’s arm for so long. Chu Rong’s face felt a little hot. Just now, in order to “declare” her sovereignty, she was arrogant and showed off in front of Fei Ao, and Fu Ruhui just looked at her with a smile. It was really embarrassing to think about it.

　　After coming to his senses, Chu Rong wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

　　This planet is no longer suitable for her to survive.

　　”No.” Chu Rong didn’t have anything else to ask. She just wanted to ask herself what she was thinking just now!

　　”Then let’s try the piano?” Fu Ruhui took Chu Rong to the piano, “Do you like it?”

　　The piano case is polished to a high shine, and you can see a beautiful sheen when natural light shines on it. The piano body is white with gold-plated patterns on it, and when the sun shines on it, it emits a shining light, which is extraordinary and noble.

　　”It looks good.” Chu Rong nodded continuously. This piano was different from the ones she had seen in piano shops before. This piano was so beautiful, like the noble royal family among pianos. She didn’t even dare to go up and desecrate it with her claws.

　　How could I not like it?

　　Fu Ruhui asked, “I wonder if I would have the honor to listen to Miss Chu’s performance?”

　　Chu Rong suddenly woke up and said, “I can’t play it.”

　　”It seems that I don’t have this honor.” Fu Ruhui said calmly.

　　Chu Rong: “…”

　　”What a pity.” Fu Ruhui continued.

　　”Mr. Fu, how long do you plan to take on vacation?” Chu Rong couldn’t bear it anymore and quickly changed the subject.

　　Today is Friday. Does Fu Ruhui plan to stay at home until next week?

　　This is totally unlike the workaholic Fu Ruhui.

　　”The company project just ended, nothing to do.” Fu Ruhui tilted his head, “Don’t you like me staying at home?”

　　”…How dare I, little one?”

Seeing Chu Rong’s pouting expression, Fu Ruhui felt soft-hearted. “Be coquettish again, and I’ll hear you.”

　　Chu Rong asked: “Where did I act like a spoiled child?”

　　”Then say ‘little one’ again so I can hear it.”

　　Chu Rong was so bold, “You wish.”

　　Fu Ruhui’s eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.

　　Chu Rong angrily imitated Fu Ruhui’s tone and said, “Smile again and let me see.”

　　Fu Ruhui raised his lips as he was told and gave Chu Rong a smile as wide as it could.

　　”…Okay, Master, I admit defeat.”

　　Chu Rong smiled with a fake smile, and originally thought that she could fight back, but who knew that Fu Ruhui would be so soft and hard that nothing could shake his iron-like smile.

　　Chu Rong admitted that there was a huge gap between her and Fu Ruhui’s realms. Even if she lived to Fu Ruhui’s age, she would not be able to cultivate to the level of Fu Ruhui.

　　Fortunately, someone was looking for him, and Fu Ruhui went to the window to answer a phone call, and the discussion between Chu Rong and him came to an end.

　　”Mom, mom, my brother said that this piano was given to me by my dad. Can I touch it?” The two little kids, who had been chattering for a long time, finally made an important decision. They came running over and looked at Chu Rong expectantly.

　　Chu Rong took a quick look at the piano shining with golden light to avoid staring at it in a daze. “Of course, Xiaoyu, do you want to try how to play the piano?”

　　Fu Yu stood on tiptoe and touched the smooth keyboard cover of the piano with great care, then withdrew his hand.

　　”I can’t play the piano, mom.” Fu Yu was a little shy and a little surprised when he touched the piano. He whispered, “Just touch it.”

　　It was so adorable. After getting Fu Yu’s consent, Chu Rong held his little face and kissed him.

　　Chu Rong asked again: “Then do you want to give it a try?”

　　Fu Nian hummed and gently touched the piano, but he touched the legs of the piano and did not touch it for long.

　　”By the way, didn’t Dad let you learn to play a musical instrument before?” Chu Rong asked them as they both liked piano very much. If they learned to play a musical instrument, Fu Nian and Fu Yu would probably like it very much, right? “Have you ever played any musical instruments? Nian Nian and Xiao Yu should both like music very much, right?”

　　Children from such wealthy families should be trained in various skills from an early age, and develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. She had never seen Fu Nian and Fu Yu mention the musical instruments they had learned.

　　However, Fu Nian shook his head and said, “I just like watching others play.” He had no interest in it at all. His father did find a music teacher for them and let them choose the instrument they were interested in.

　　Neither he nor Fu Yu could last more than three days.

　　They have absolutely no interest in music and no talent for it.

　　Fu Ruhui was not the kind of person who liked to force children. In his opinion, any skill should be based on the children’s interests.

　　Chu Rong understood: “Is that so? Did your father force you to study?”

　　Fu Nian still shook his head: “No.”

　　Dad won’t force them to study.

　　”What a good father.” Chu Rong sighed sincerely, “Really, I wish he was my dad.”

　　After hanging up the phone, Fu Ruhui came over to listen to what the three little mushrooms squatting on the ground were saying:

　　”What?” He wasn’t sure if he had heard it wrong.

　　Chu Rong stood up immediately and said, “I’m praising you.”

　　”Praise me?” Fu Ruhui asked, “Praise me for what?”

　　”I heard that you never force Nian Nian & Xiao Yu to learn things they are not interested in.”

　　Fu Ruhui groaned, “Is this worth boasting about?”

　　”It’s worth it.” Chu Rong praised Fu Ruhui several times, and then said, “So you won’t force a middle-aged woman who is almost 30 years old and can’t play the piano to learn piano, right?”

　　”…” Fu Ruhui himself couldn’t count how many times Chu Rong had made him laugh today.

　　”Are you sure you were forced?” Fu Ruhui asked meaningfully.

　　When moving the piano, Chu Rong’s eyes were glued to the piano. She also remembered her embarrassing daze just now, and suddenly felt guilty, so she used her usual trick to change the subject: “Was that a work call just now?”

　　Fu Ruhui followed her lead and changed the subject, “Not really.”

　　”Did you fight for so long?”

　　”Yes, I received three calls.”

　　Chu Rong nodded: “Oh.”

　　The two were silent for a while, and Fu Ruhui said, “You don’t want to ask me?”

　　”What are you asking?” Chu Rong was puzzled.

　　”All three calls are related to you.”

　　Chu Rong: “Ah? What is that?”

　　Fu Ruhui didn’t know whether he should be happy that Chu Rong trusted him so much, or feel upset that Chu Rong didn’t care at all about the three “non-work calls” he received. He frowned and smiled, feeling a little helpless.

　　”One call was from Fei Ao’s brother Fei Qiu, who apologized to you and said he would come to your house next time.”

　　Chu Rong was shocked, “That’s not necessary.”

　　Fu Ruhui nodded, “I rejected it for you.”

　　”oh.”

　　”Fei Qiu changed his mind and said that if you don’t want him to come to your house to apologize, he is going to hold a small dance party next week. Can he invite you to join us?”

　　Chu Rong said in embarrassment: “He is so polite.”

　　Fu Ruhui smiled and said, “Maybe it’s because you bought this piano that he has been working on for more than two years, and he feels that there is a connection between you two.”

　　”But you bought the piano.” Chu Rong said faintly, “Even if it’s destined, it’s not mine.”

　　”Well,” Fu Ruhui thought about it seriously, “it was originally a gift for you. I was only responsible for paying for it. – He spent a long time and effort to build that piano. He originally planned to put it up for auction, and many people in the industry who knew piano wanted to buy it.”

　　”What about you?” Chu Rong asked cautiously, “You’re not going to just spend a lot of money to get them to sell it to you, are you?”

　　”You can only do me a favor.” Fu Ruhui said with a smile.

　　Chu Rong: Favors are worth seven zeros, right?

　　”Are you blackmailing me?” After Chu Rong agreed to Fu Ruhui out of helplessness, she always felt that she had fallen into Fu Ruhui’s trap. It was clearly this man who bought it on his own initiative. Although she really liked this piano, how did it end up being that she accepted Fei Qiu’s invitation because of this fate?

Fu Ruhui admitted frankly: “I want my wife to accompany me to the dance.”

　　Chu Rong looked at his expression and almost dubbed for Fu Ruhui: I just wanted to attend the dance with my wife, I hope my wife won’t blame me~

　　She lost, she lost again.

　　”There’s another call from Bulang Jun. He’s been delayed by something and may not be able to come tomorrow.”

　　Chu Rong cheered: “Great! So what was the last call?”

　　”The last call was from Kong Sa. I asked him to check something.” Fu Ruhui paused, “He found a lot of unexpected things.”

　　He didn’t continue talking, but his expression was somewhat intriguing.

　　Chu Rong observed for a while and wisely chose not to ask.

　　Both calls were related to her, but Fu Ruhui was unwilling to say what the content of the other call was. Chu Rong certainly couldn’t guess it, and could only speculate some general directions based on Fu Ruhui’s attitude.

　　But Fu Ruhui’s attitude was really impeccable.

　　Chu Rong was a little uneasy at first. The mysterious expression on Fu Ruhui’s face that day was too much like the way the protagonist in an anime plots against the villain. A face with overlapping light and darkness, a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. Chu Rong felt that she would be seen through just by looking into his eyes.

　　Therefore, Chu Rong began to avoid eye contact with Fu Ruhui as much as possible.

　　However, after two days, Chu Rong realized that it was not as hard as she had imagined. Although Fu Ruhui would occasionally say something that Chu Rong found hard to handle, most of the time Fu Ruhui was very… obedient to her and there was nothing unusual about him.

　　He would obey Chu Rong’s every request, no matter what she asked, even if it was just a casual request, Fu Ruhui would do as she said without any questioning.

　　Even some of Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s requests would be gently refuted by Fu Ruhui, but he never rejected Chu Rong.

　　With such meticulous indulgence, Chu Rong became more and more bold, and had long forgotten about keeping her identity secret.

　　Until this day.

　　It’s another familiar morning.

　　A strange yet familiar man appeared.

　　His originally bronze skin became much whiter;

　　His tough facial features became rounder.

　　But what has not changed at all is Wu Can’s powerful voice: “Madam!”

　　Chu Rong was sitting between Fu Nian and Fu Yu watching cartoons, her head nodding with sleepiness. Wu Can’s voice frightened Chu Rong so much that her body trembled, and she instantly woke up from her half-drowsy state.

　　”Wu Can?” Chu Rong was speechless. “What’s wrong with you?”

　　”I have finished reading all the books you asked me to read.” Wu Can raised his phone with a badly worn screen with a sense of accomplishment. “Not only have I finished reading them, I have also figured out every detail. This time, I will definitely satisfy you.”

　　This statement was too ambiguous, and Chu Rong was unable to complain.

　　She assigned Wu Can more than a dozen novels, each of which was at least one million words. Wu Can finished reading them in about two weeks.

　　This means he is really hardworking.

　　”You’ve been watching this for the past few days?”

　　Wu Can replied: “It didn’t delay my work.”

　　Chu Rong held her chin up to her hand and looked at Wu Can for a long time. After her eyes became brighter and brighter, she slowly asked a question: “Since Fu Ruhui came back, have you also been staying in your room reading novels?”

　　The master went home and the housekeeper hid. How could Fu Ruhui not be suspicious of this abnormal situation?

　　No wonder Fu Ruhui smiled so meaningfully that day! Did that guy find out some information? Did he know about Wu Can and Chu Rong’s affair?

　　Fu Ruhui has been keeping quiet for the past two days because the information he found is not accurate enough. He is collecting more powerful evidence!

　　”Ah?” Wu Can was confused for a moment, “That’s it.”

　　But in fact, the gentleman had already seen him on the day he came back. There were doctors and many other people at home. As a housekeeper, Wu Can was very conscientious and responsible. He arranged all the work before going off work to read his novel.

　　The gentleman casually asked him what he was busy with, and Wu Can told him truthfully that he was reading a novel and that it was a task assigned to him by his wife.

　　The gentleman was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

　　Wu Can didn’t say these words out loud. Chu Rong and he stared at each other for a long time.

　　”Can you tell me how you did it?” Chu Rong’s lips trembled for a long time, and finally said, “You really are calm in the face of adversity.”

　　Wu Can said with a smile: “Madam, you are too kind. You should check the results of my study first.”

　　Chu Rong looked ashen, and randomly pointed to his left and right guards: “Niannian & Xiaoyu, come on, it’s time for you to show your skills. Come up with something to stump him, and then Mom will fire this guy.”

　　Fu Nian & Fu Yu:!

　　Wu Can: ?

　　”Why, ma’am?” Wu Can, a 1.8-meter-tall man, began to groan, “What did I do wrong?”

　　Chu Rong said earnestly, “I am doing this for your own good. If you leave now, you can still have a good life in the future. If you wait until later to leave with me, then you will be dead.”

　　She is not from this world, and she will definitely return to where she belongs after completing the plot. Wu Can, the cannon fodder lost in the plot, has an even more miserable ending than the original owner. Chu Rong, considering that he is just a blockhead being used as a gun, plans to help him avoid the original ending. It is no longer possible for him to continue to live a comfortable life in the Fu family with a monthly salary of tens of thousands as before, so he should find a simpler job and stay away from the Fu family.

　　Wu Can was extremely sad and wanted to say something else, but Chu Rong made a gesture to stop him, “Okay, that’s enough. Didn’t you ask me to check your learning results? Do you have the confidence?”

　　Wu Can put away the expression on his face and said, “Madam, I am confident.” He looked at Fu Nian and Fu Yu resolutely and said respectfully, “Please check as much as you can, young masters.”

　　I don’t know if Wu Can is mentally ill or he really doesn’t hold grudges. He doesn’t remember the bad things others have done to him, nor does he remember the bad things he has done to others.

　　Fu Nian and Fu Yu were speechless about his attitude of “forgetting the past”. The two children were not as single-celled as Wu Can. Even Fu Yu still remembered what Wu Can had done in the past, but he had not shown up or said anything in recent days, and he did not express his intention to kick him out. Wu Can himself did not seek a sense of existence like Zeng Qian, so Fu Nian and Fu Yu did not mention Wu Can much.

Not mentioning it does not mean forgiveness.

　　Chu Rong wanted to look at Fu Nian who was thinking seriously, and think about the question he tested her with last time – “What does shrimp meat taste like?” She couldn’t help but start to guess what kind of strange question Fu Nian would ask Wu Can.

　　After thinking for only half a minute, Fu Nian looked up and asked expressionlessly, “Please prove the Goldbach conjecture.”

　　Chu Rong: Wow.

　　Wu Can: “…”

　　”Master, I majored in management and haven’t studied mathematics much. How about changing the question?”

　　Wu Can remembered the housekeeper character in the domineering president’s novel, “Master, this is the first time you show such…”

　　”He can’t answer it.” Fu Nian turned around ruthlessly and said to Chu Rong: “It seems that he didn’t study hard.”

　　Chu Rong shook his head and applauded Fu Nian, saying that he was indeed the son of Fu Ruhui.

　　Every time he said something that was beyond her expectations but also reasonable, Chu Rong glanced at the stunned Wu Can, and then said to Fu Yu who had not yet had time to speak: “Xiao Yu, do you have any questions?”

　　Fu Yu repeated the long word his brother had just said several times in his mind, but still couldn’t say it smoothly. He shook his head quickly: “No more, Mom.”

　　Chu Rong made an OK gesture and said to Wu Can, “Then can you answer Nian Nian’s question?”

　　Even if Wu Can’s brain was not fully formed, he could tell that Chu Rong was really eager to get rid of him. He couldn’t understand the words Chu Rong had just said which were for his own good. Wu Can, who had been listening carefully to his master’s orders, still didn’t understand why he was being fired.

　　He had obviously never been like Zeng Qian. He could guarantee that from the day Chu Rong recruited him, he had never disobeyed any of Chu Rong’s orders or requests.

　　Chu Rong sighed deeply. She could probably tell what Wu Can was thinking from his indignant eyes. He might not be convinced, but his resentment was useless. Even if Wu Can stayed in the Fu family now, he would still have to leave when Fu Ruhui knew what had happened in the past three months. And by then, it would not be as easy as it is now.

　　I’m so sorry.

　　Chu Rong closed her eyes slightly, “Let’s go. Next time, remember that all loyalty that violates morality and law is not loyalty. Before doing anything, you must carefully judge whether it is right or wrong, understand?”

　　Be a good person in the future.

　　Wu Can still has room for maneuver, but Chu Rong really feels that his comfortable days are probably coming to an end.
