Chu Rong leaned on the sofa in a daze for a long time.

　　Fu Nian and Fu Yu both noticed that she was absent-minded, because normally Chu Rong would yawn when watching the cartoon being played. However, from the time she fired Wu Can until now, she showed no signs of sleepiness. Her eyes were wide open but lifeless.

　　The first person to notice Chu Rong’s abnormality was Fu Nian. He didn’t care what was being played on TV because he didn’t like watching it. There was a brief darkness when the cartoon was cut to the next episode. The huge screen reflected their images on the sofa. Fu Nian naturally noticed the dazed Chu Rong.

　　He raised his head and looked at Chu Rong backwards.

　　”What’s wrong with you?” Fu Nian asked.

　　Fu Yu heard this and thought Fu Nian was asking him, so he stared at the TV and answered, “I’m a little hungry.”

　　But Fu Nian ignored him. Fu Yu turned around and saw that his brother was talking to his mother, but his mother didn’t seem to hear his brother’s voice.

　　Fu Yu also looked up at Chu Rong like his brother.

　　”Is mom sleeping with her eyes open?” Fu Yu blinked and looked at Chu Rong for a long time. He found that she was almost motionless, so he asked innocently, “Brother, mom is asleep.”

　　Fu Nian stretched out a small hand and patted Chu Rong’s exposed half arm, and asked softly: “What’s wrong?”

　　After two snaps, Chu Rong finally stopped being so dumb, but her reaction was still a little slow. After Fu Nian patiently asked both sides “what’s wrong”, Chu Rong smiled faintly and said, “I’m thinking about something. I’m too absorbed in it.”

　　”What are you thinking about?”

　　Chu Rong lowered her head and looked into Fu Nian’s dark eyes. “Thinking about the future.”

　　Think about the future of “Chu Rong” in the original book.

　　In fact, it was not because of fear, because the plot she was experiencing now had deviated from the original by 80%, and her ending might not be as tragic as described in the novel.

　　But she still felt guilty.

　　Chu Rong couldn’t tell why she felt guilty. Was she afraid of Fu Ruhui? But she knew that was not the case.

　　After these days, Chu Rong had a hunch that no matter what she said to Fu Ruhui, Fu Ruhui would believe her.

　　Fu Ruhui trusted her very much.

　　Then what is she feeling sad about?

　　”Niannian.” Chu Rong called Fu Nian, but didn’t know what to say.

　　Fu Nian was not in a hurry. He looked at Chu Rong silently, waiting for her to speak.

　　”I’m sorry.” Chu Rong said these three words without any reason. She touched Fu Nian’s head and then Fu Yu’s head, like comforting a kitten.

　　Fu Yu rubbed his hands under Chu Rong’s hands, “Mom is not sorry.”

　　”Have you been thinking about this?” Fu Nian seemed to understand what she was saying, even though Chu Rong herself didn’t seem to understand what she was saying.

　　Chu Rong said without hesitation: “That’s not it either.”

　　Fu Nian looked at her and raised his hand to press down Chu Rong’s hand that was still covering his head, “You are my mother.”

　　”Mom’s not sorry.”

　　After Fu Yu heard this, he felt a little proud. He was the only one who imitated his brother’s way of speaking, and finally his brother also imitated him!

　　Chu Rong’s eyes were filled with tears after hearing this. She had never known why a mother could be so moved to tears by a simple word from her child. Only after experiencing it herself could Chu Rong understand the huge impact of such a scene.

　　It was a very light sentence, just like the tone Fu Nian always used. It was funny to say that a little kid as short as a bean sprout always spoke in a nonchalant tone, only occasionally showing a little childishness that should be expected at this age, and otherwise he was as calm as an old man who had experienced decades of vicissitudes.

If he didn’t look like a child, it wouldn’t be out of place to give Fu Nian an adult look.

　　For some reason, Chu Rong suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

　　She knew she had done nothing wrong. Even if she had done something wrong, it was just an accident that she had entered the book – it wasn’t her idea.

　　In fact, she is not a person who likes to feel wronged. In her memory, her parents never spoiled and indulged her, and no one could care about her grievances. So Chu Rong has always been optimistic. She is also patient and perseverant. She thinks that if she can make some compensation, she will do more. It is definitely not to pay for the original owner. She inherited everything from the original owner and there is no way to cut it off.

　　Anyway, thanks to her efforts, Fu Nian and Fu Yu liked her, and Fu Ruhui didn’t punish her, so the grievances that Chu Rong hadn’t had time to express were naturally suppressed in her heart.

　　Who knows, being suppressed deep in the heart does not mean it will disappear. It only takes a little opportunity, if someone is willing to pry open a crack in her heart, that bit of grievance that can no longer be suppressed will flexibly come out.

　　Chu Rong’s eyes turned red, and she recalled the first words Fu Nian said to her when she first came over: “But didn’t you say before that I’m not your mother?”

　　Fu Nian didn’t expect Chu Rong to mention this. He was obviously stunned for a moment, probably recalling. After a while, Fu Nian’s dark eyes seemed to see through everything. He said, “She is not. You are.”

　　Chu Rong opened her eyes wide.

　　She couldn’t believe whether Fu Nian really meant what she thought. If so, could Fu Nian tell that she was not the original Chu Rong?

　　This is too absurd. Chu Rong asked herself, if this had not actually happened to her, would she believe it if someone else said this?

　　Of course she wouldn’t.

　　So Chu Rong didn’t dare to tell Fu Ruhui openly, I am not your wife, and if your wife has done anything to let you down, don’t come to me.

　　No adult would believe this statement, but children do not need anyone to tell them, they are sure of it on their own.

　　Chu Rong was speechless for a moment and didn’t know what to say.

　　Her expression showed surprise, joy, relief and anxiety.

　　When the mother and son were looking at each other, Fu Ruhui came back. Today was Monday, and he went to work, but he only worked for half a day before going home.

　　As soon as he entered the room, Fu Ruhui noticed Chu Rong curled up on the sofa. He noticed that Chu Rong lowered her head, and a few round, sparkling tears rolled out of her eyes.

　　Fu Ruhui’s heart tightened, and he walked over without changing his shoes.

　　”What are you doing? Why are you crying?”

　　Fu Nian and Fu Yu were standing and comforting Chu Rong, their two little hands gently running across her hair like little combs.

　　Hearing Fu Ruhui’s voice, Chu Rong sniffed in panic and wiped her face with a tissue. “Why did you come back so suddenly?”

　　”Come back for dinner.” Fu Ruhui walked around to their side and asked her face to face: “Your eyes are so red, who has wronged you?”

　　Chu Rong, who had almost vented her anger just now, now remembered that she had cried in front of Fu Nian and Fu Yu, and the two children had to comfort her softly. As a result, she was caught by Fu Ruhui. Chu Rong was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Unspeakable shame surged up belatedly, and her whole head was about to smoke.

　　Fu Ruhui looked at her for a while, and seeing Chu Rong pursed her lips and didn’t speak, he could only turn to ask Fu Nian: “Niannian, go ahead.”

　　Abnormally, Fu Nian also kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

　　”Dad, please don’t ask. Mom doesn’t want to talk about it.” Fu Yu thought, if he cried, he would definitely want to hug her mother, but her mother was different. She was a girl, and girls might not like others to see them crying.

　　Mom didn’t speak, and brother didn’t speak, so of course, Fu Yu said, “If Mom wants to say something, she will say it herself.”

　　Fu Ruhui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was ‘Educated’ by them?

　　It’s really rare.

　　He had not originally intended to continue asking, but after hearing what Fu Yu, the clever little fellow, said, he really was forcing the issue.

　　Fu Ruhui reached out and wiped the corner of Chu Rong’s eye. There was a small, lucky tear on her eyelashes. He twisted his fingertips and said, “It’s my fault.”

　　Chu Rong still had a nasal tone, and said in a muffled voice: “Didn’t you say that you would eat at the company at noon?”

　　Fu Ruhui said, “I suddenly want to go home.” Feeling uncomfortable, he put down his work and came back. He is not the Fu Ruhui of his previous life. He does not need to compress the time to do many tasks. After a bitter lesson, Fu Ruhui is more willing to spend his time on his family.

　　Chu Rong: Then you are really willful.

　　It’s good to be a boss. You can go home whenever you want. If she dares to do this at work, her monthly salary will be deducted.

　　She lowered her eyes and didn’t speak. In fact, she was still a little shy. Fu Ruhui thought she was still unhappy, so she couldn’t be interested. So after dinner, Fu Ruhui made a decision. He directly crossed out the work for the second half of the day, and then asked Chu Rong leisurely: “Do you want to go out shopping?”

　　”…Ah?” Chu Rong’s eyes were still red, and she looked like a poor rabbit as she ate the vegetables in small bites. She didn’t understand, “Now?”

　　Fu Ruhui nodded and said, “I’ll take half a day off.”

　　Chu Rong was shocked, “Are you going to skip work?”

　　Fu Ruhui frowned and thought for a while, then said cheerfully: “If asking for leave is called skipping work, then yes.”

　　Why does he look so proud? Chu Rong was speechless. She chewed and swallowed the vegetables in her mouth. She said, “Asking for leave is not called skipping work, but if you ask for leave to go shopping, isn’t that skipping work? Mr. Fu, do you have a fever?”

　　”I don’t have a fever.” Fu Ruhui said seriously, “I’m not going out shopping. I’m going to attend Fei Qiu’s dance this weekend and I’m going to order a dress.”

　　He sounded very serious, but Chu Rong and Fu Ruhui had sparred with each other so many times, Chu Rong probably knew something about what kind of person he was. He spoke nonsense in a very serious manner, and even though his words were full of loopholes, he remained calm.

In short, it is telling lies with open eyes.

　　Chu Rong sneered, “Excuse me, what kind of dress does Mr. Fu need to go out and buy in person? What kind of dress can be customized in a week? We have it at home.”

　　She ruthlessly exposed Fu Ruhui’s tricks.

　　Fu Ruhui curled his lips, as if he was very regretful: “I’ve been seen through.” He didn’t even pretend to speak, “Miss Chu, if you’ve seen through it, don’t say it. Please give me some face and let’s go out for a walk, how about it?”

　　Chu Rong curled her lips, “Not so good, I don’t want to move.”

　　After being rejected, Fu Ruhui watched Chu Rong drink soup in silence. Chu Rong glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. She guessed that Fu Ruhui was thinking about how to fool her.

　　Sure enough, Fu Ruhui thought for more than a minute and then spoke.

　　”Please?” He tilted his head, and said this word, which he had secretly learned from somewhere, in a very incongruous way, and acted coquettishly towards Chu Rong.

　　Chu Rong: “…”

　　Haha, man.
