“Why are you here?” As soon as she walked out of the flower field, Chu Rong saw Fu Ruhui running towards her in a hurry, holding the cup of strawberry milkshake that she hadn’t drunk yet.
Chu Rong, who was originally somewhat resentful, suddenly felt that most of the depression in her heart had dissipated. Noticing the beads of sweat on Fu Ruhui’s forehead, Chu Rong’s tone softened completely. She looked up and said, “I was just about to ask you, Mr. Fu, where did you go just now?”
Fu Ruhui explained, “I was waiting for you at the place you said.” But he didn’t see them. He even looked around the flower garden, but didn’t see anyone. Chu Rong’s phone was on him again, and Fu Ruhui was worried that the three of them would get lost.
This place is too big, and if you get lost you won’t be able to find anyone easily.
”What?” Chu Rong was shocked. Right at the place she specified? “Mr. Fu, you really have a poor sense of direction?”
There was no sign of Fu Ruhui just now. Chu Rong suspected that Fu Ruhui was afraid to admit that he was a road idiot for the sake of face. She said in a gentle voice: “Just now, Niannian Xiaoyu and I waited for you for a long time, but we didn’t see you.”
Fu Nian and Fu Yu nodded: “I didn’t see you, Dad.”
Fu Ruhui frowned when he heard this, sensing something was wrong, “Did you meet anyone just now?”
”How did you know?” Chu Rong nodded, “I met Nian Nian’s teacher.”
”Teacher?” Fu Ruhui went through all of Fu Nian’s teachers in his mind, “Which teacher?”
Fu Nian replied: “Mathematics teacher.”
Fu Ruhui thought for a moment, “Teacher Shen?”
”No,” Fu Nian shook his head, “Teacher Shen has asked for leave. There is a new teacher here, his last name is Fu.”
Fu Ruhui was a little surprised, “When did it happen?”
”Several months.” Fu Nian looked at Fu Ruhui and said hesitantly, “When Dad first went abroad.”
That’s almost four months.
Fu Ruhui lowered his head, thinking about something. After a while, he smiled faintly: “I know. I might have taken the wrong road just now. Do you still want to take pictures? Let’s go to a closer place to take pictures.” To avoid getting lost again.
”Okay.”
This time they took a few photos in front of the pink aster. The family of four took turns taking photos. Fu Ruhui was very satisfied and planned to go back and print them out and frame them on the wall.
Because they had been walking for so long and Chu Rong and her sons were not very strong, they couldn’t stand it after taking less than ten photos. They all said they wanted to go home and rest.
Fu Ruhui readily agreed.
However, on the way back, he was the only one awake. The other three were sleeping soundly, almost snoring.
Fu Ruhui was a little disappointed. He was actually not looking forward to having someone snore so that he wouldn’t be too lonely on the road.
When I drove home, it was already past seven o’clock.
Fu Ruhui did not wake up the three of them, and their sleep quality was really good. Fu Ruhui picked up Chu Rong gently and asked Li Zhizhao and Wang Shunhua to come out and carry Fu Nian and Fu Yu inside.
”Sir, a guest came here at noon today, but you and your wife were not here, and the guest left very quickly.”
After settling Chu Rong, Fu Ruhui went downstairs and put the melted strawberry milkshake in the refrigerator. Chu Rong might wake up at dinner time, and it would be a perfect time to drink it.
Sister Yun was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Fu Ruhui, she quickly reported to him, “I told the guest that you were not here, and he said that he must be notified when you return.”
Fu Ruhui had just washed his hands and was slowly wiping his fingertips with a tissue. “What kind of guest?”
”One man and two women.” Sister Yun thought for a moment, “The man is the one who came to house yesterday, and I don’t know the other two.” She was just too pretty, so Sister Yun guessed she was some kind of celebrity. But she didn’t watch TV dramas, so she didn’t know many young celebrities.
Fu Ruhui nodded, guessing who the visitor was. “I see, thank you. Could you please make some soup tonight to nourish their stomachs? The three of them ate something cold during the day, and I’m worried that they might have stomach upsets.”
Sister Yun smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, and she agreed happily: “Okay, sir. It seems that the mistress and the master are having a lot of fun today. It’s been a long time since I saw the sir taking the mistress out to play.” They were so tired that they fell asleep.
Fu Ruhui is usually very easy to talk to. He won’t get impatient if the servants in the house talk to him for a few more words. However, out of respect for the male master, few people dare to talk to him. Only Sister Yun will occasionally chat with him when Fu Ruhui is in a good mood.
Fu Ruhui was very happy to hear Sister Yun’s words. He smiled and said, “It’s quite fun.” Chu Rong and the two children were almost having fun. If he hadn’t been watching, they would probably have rolled into the haystack.
Sister Yun was very pleased, “As long as you are happy.”
She has also worked in the Fu family for many years. She was hired to cook here when Fu Yu was still learning to walk. So much time has passed in a flash.
”Wu Can is gone?” Usually at this time, the housekeeper would come to report to him about the family’s income and expenditure. Today, he hadn’t seen him for a long time, so Fu Ruhui was not very surprised. Instead, he asked Sister Yun casually, as if he had known about it for a long time.
Sister Yun was stunned and smiled bitterly: “Yes, Madam fired him.”
Fu Ruhui curled his lips, “I know.”
Sister Yun pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should tell her husband. In fact, everyone knew more or less what the wife and Wu Can had done before. As a cook, she knew the most. She had never reported to her husband, one because she had no chance, and another because she knew that this was a household affair between the husband and the wife. She was just a servant of the Fu family. If she meddled in other people’s business, she would offend both sides and would be in trouble.
Later, the lady suddenly changed her temperament, as if she had repented and began to make up for the two young masters. Sister Yun knew that she didn’t need to worry about this matter anymore. But now that the master is back, she doesn’t know if he will mind what the lady did before. She guessed that the master didn’t know about it now. If he knew, would he not have a conflict with the lady?
Sister Yun felt from the bottom of her heart that the current wife was really good. Everyone could see how much she cared for the two young masters. The young masters were also very happy with the wife around. Sister Yun did not want the previous events to affect the relationship between the wife and the husband. She felt that the current family atmosphere was very good. She even hoped that the husband would not know what the wife had done before.
”Sir, there must be a reason why Madam fired Butler Wu.” Sister Yun couldn’t help but do something when she lied. She lowered her head to wash some celery. “Butler Wu must have done something bad. The young masters don’t like him. Madam did this for their own good.”
Fu Ruhui raised his eyebrows, “Yes, I know.”
Sister Yun didn’t know that her words, which were intended to cover up the truth, sounded like a “complaint” to Fu Ruhui. If Fu Ruhui didn’t know Sister Yun’s character and Chu Rong, he would probably be suspicious of Sister Yun’s words, suspecting that Sister Yun was hinting that Wu Can had done something bad, and even suspecting that there was some unspeakable secret between Chu Rong and Wu Can.
Fu Ruhui sighed slightly. He was thinking that if Chu Rong was like he was in his previous life, he would definitely unravel the truth from Sister Yun’s words without hesitation.
However, the truth hidden in those photos is no longer important to Fu Ruhui. What he needs now is another truth, which is out of reach and vague.
”That’s good, sir. I’ll cook first and dinner will be served at eight o’clock.” Sister Yun felt relieved. She thought she could help Chu Rong. In this way, Mr. would not doubt why his wife suddenly fired Wu Can.
”Not too early, let’s have dinner at 8:30.” Fu Ruhui said lightly, “Let them sleep for a while first.”
”Okay.” Sister Yun thought to herself, her husband’s reaction has not changed at all compared to before, he is still very considerate. She was completely relieved, put down the celery in her hand, and began to prepare the fish she bought today, planning to stew fish soup.
Fu Ruhui left the kitchen and went to his study to make a phone call.
He talked to the person on the other end of the phone for about thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, Fu Ruhui got up and called Chu Rong to get up.
As Fu Ruhui expected, Chu Rong would not get up for more than ten or twenty minutes.
He was not in a hurry to pull her up. He sat patiently by the bed and stroked her hair bit by bit. Chu Rong might have felt comfortable and didn’t want to get up anymore.
Fu Ruhui smiled secretly at Chu Rong’s shamelessness. He pinched Chu Rong’s earlobe and said, “Get up and eat something.”
Chu Rong was scared when she heard Fu Ruhui calling her to wake up, because he was much more effective than Fu Nian and Fu Yu in waking her up. Fu Nian and Fu Yu kept poking and probing, but Chu Rong remained unmoved. Fu Ruhui was different. He might even kiss her a few times.
This trick always works and never fails. Chu Rong can jump up directly from the bed.
However, Fu Ruhui would not use this trick easily unless it was necessary. The effect was good, but Chu Rong would be angry because of it.
Now that time is not tight, Fu Nian would rather use some pinching and touching methods to wake Chu Rong up.
Either her ears were pinched, her nose was scratched, or her cheek was poked. Chu Rong simply covered her face to prevent Fu Ruhui from touching her.
In the blink of an eye, she fell into a sound sleep again.
Fu Ruhui smiled helplessly and pulled Chu Rong out of the quilt, “Rongrong, get up and eat.”
Chu Rong’s eyelids twitched and he snorted twice.
”Is school over?” she asked in a low voice.
Fu Ruhui was stunned. “What?”
”Please bring me some food.” Chu Rong rubbed Fu Ruhui’s arm vaguely, “Please.” After she said that, she tilted her head and continued to sleep.
Fu Ruhui froze in place in a daze. What Chu Rong had just said was like a stone thrown into a tranquil lake, causing ripples.
At the center of the ripples was Fu Ruhui’s deeply shocked heart.
Chu Rong…what are you talking about.
Why did he have such a big reaction? Why did he always feel like there was something in his mind that he had overlooked?
Why is there an indescribable feeling of suffocation?
Fu Ruhui shuddered and suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
For a moment, he forgot to wake Chu Rong up. He just sat quietly beside the bed, unable to look away for a long time.
