Fu Yu looked apologetic. “I also wanted to spend time with you, but there are too many things going ontely.”
Shen Lu ignored him, holding Changqing’s hand while entering the vi. “Changqing, this ce actually isn’t very far from the city square. You cane over and have a meal when you have nothing to do in the future.”
“Sure.” Changqing nodded obediently.
Shen Lu kept pulling her around to chat and didn’t about her marriage at all, making Changqing feel uneasy, not knowing whether Shen Lu knew about her marriage or not.
When evening came, Shen Lu made her stay for dinner and Changqing couldn’t object.
At night, Fu Yu cooked himself.
Changqing used this time to give Guan Ying a call and after a long while, she finally heard Guan Ying’s voice.
“Xiaoying, has the nurse delivered your dinner?” Changqing asked.
“I’m eating right now.” Guan Ying’s voice was still very weak but it was much better than before. “But it was Chuyi who got someone to send it over.”
“... Oh.” Changqing only heard herself spit out a few words with much difficulty after a long while. “That’s good...”
It looked like she thought too much. Her departure just happened to allow them to live in their own world and Song Chuyi could also take better care of her.
“Yeah,” Guan Ying said, “Chuyi said that in these next few days when I can’t move, he’ll visit my Mom often and I was reassured.”
“Then about the production team...”
“There’s nothing to be done. I’m not that important yet to make the entire production team pause filming for such a long time; I have at least that little self-awareness.” Guan Ying smiled bitterly and said, “I’ll be off. Chuyi is here.”
On the balcony.
Changqing lowered her head, staring at her phone. The phone call ended, but her mind was filled with Guan Ying’s words: Chuyi is here...
It was 6.40 pm in Beijing time. He should’ve gotten off from work.
He didn’t go home but went to visit Guan Ying first.
Changqing suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. She really was the most useless person in this world.
He was undoubtedly her husband, yet she didn’t have the courage to make him stay by her side.
<i>Am I going to lose him?</i>
Outside, rain droplets suddenly start falling on the ss window.
“It’s raining heavily,” Shen Lu came to her side, holding on to her hand gently. “Why’s your hand so cold?”
“Maybe it is a little cold,” Changqing said while looking down.
“That’s true. The weather’s been erratic these days.”
In the ward, Song Chuyi removed his white coat, wearing a pair of long, ck trousers and a shirt. He stood tall and upright, looking detached.
The nurse who was feeding Guan Ying was in a daze upon seeing him and even Guan Ying herself inexplicably lost her senses. These past few days, she often filmed with the male lead, Ke Yongyuan, and his appearance could be considered one of the tops in the entertainment industry’s new generation. She should’ve been immune to good-looking men, but when she saw Song Chuyi, she felt that he wasn’t simply just good-looking. Every inch of his features seemed to exude a sense of nobility. He was young yet mature,posed but not aloof.
Why was she not attentive to realize all this in the past?
When did she start to despise him for being just a doctor who wasn’t good enough, hence slowly magnifying all his faults? However, it was only when she really lost him that she slowly thought fondly of his strengths.
“Chuyi, did you get off work already?” Guan Ying asked with a paleplexion, “Did you visit my Mom? How was she?”
“Not bad, she’s just a little worried for you.” Song Chuyi nced at the fruit and flowers on her table. There was quite a big pile, but the hospital staff told him in the afternoon that she had no visits from her rtives. It seemed like they were all just an act put on by celebrities from the entertainment industry, who left after dropping by.
“I’m really not a good daughter. I brought her over initially because I wanted to let her enjoy life.” Guan Ying’s tears started to well up in her eyes but she forced them back.
“Have you thought about telling your father and brother about your mom and your conditions?” Song Chuyi said. “No matter what, it would be best to have a family member by your side when something like this happens.”
“I don’t dare to.” Guan Ying shook her head. “They wouldn’t take care of me and my mom at all and might even snatch our bank cards while we’re still immobile. I’m still fine. Chuyi, help me keep a lookout for my mom in these next few days. I’m afraid my brother and dad will find us here. I still had the ability to protect my mom before, but now that I’m in this state... I know I betrayed you, and I don’t hope for your forgiveness, but other than you, I really don’t know who I should ask for help. Although I have friends, they’re usually busy with their work.”
Song Chuyi’s gaze paused slightly. He said after a short while, “... I’ll do my best, but I’m helping you because you’re a patient and besides, you’re a patient in a special situation. I hope you don’t think too much about anything else.”
“Alright, I know.” Guan Ying wiped away the tears that fell down, smiling and saying gratefully, “Chuyi, I only hate myself for missing out on such a wonderful you due to my personal interests in the past, honestly.”
Song Chuyi didn’t say anything else.
After he left the hospital, he returned home and just as he thought, there was no one at home.
After he finished the dinner prepared by Auntie Wang at home, he brought Robben to the Yan Family. Yan Lei was still out socializing and Auntie Zhang made him a cup of tea. She said, “Why did youe back alone today? Where’s Changqing?”
Song Chuyi seemed to be astounded and said, “I thought she came back.”
“No.” Auntie Zhang seemed to have detected something amiss. “Did the two of you quarrel again?”
Song Chuyi shook his head and stood up. “Then I should get back.”
“Why don’t you give her a call? Otherwise, I could tell her you dropped byter when shees over,” Auntie Zhang said worriedly.
“It’s fine.” Song Chuyi lifted his lips.
When he left, Auntie Zhang quickly gave Changqing a call. Changqing just finished dinner and was watching a variety show she was on with Shen Lu.
“Changqing, did you have a fight with Mr. Song? He came by just now and left again and said he thought you were here. Why didn’t you give him a call if you’re noting back to eat?” Auntie Zhang said with a slightly reproachful tone.
“I... I forgot.” Chuyi didn’t think Song Chuyi would look for her at the Yan’s and suddenly felt a mixture of emotions. She felt a little forlorn yet she also detected some sweetness. “What else did he say?”
“Nothing else,” Auntie Zhang said, “If you don’t have any socializing to do,e home earlier, understand?”
“Oh.”
Changqing hung up, her eyes reflected with disappointment.
Fu Yu brought out a te of cut fruit from the kitchen. Changqing looked up and said, “Brother Fu Yu, take me back.”
“Changqing, it’s raining heavily outside and the visibility is low. It’s not safe,” Shen Lu said sincerely, “Don’t be in such a rush. You can leave when the rain has stopped for a while.”
“Yeah, it’s raining cats and dogs. Have some fruit first.” Fu Yu picked up a piece of pineapple and passed it to her with a smile.
Changqing ate a small piece and touched her phone absent-mindedly. Perhaps Song Chuyi might call a whileter.
In the end, she waited for a long time but he didn’t call.
The rain hadn’t stopped even at nine. Shen Lu advised her again, “It looks like the rain won’t stop tonight. It’s really unsafe to go back like this, especially in this area where there are a lot of mountainous roads. Changqing, why don’t you sleep here tonight and allow Fu Yu to take you back earlier tomorrow morning? Tonight, you’ll sleep with me. I remember you used to love letting me hug you to sleep while telling you a bedtime story in the past.”
Under the warm light, Shen Lu’s gentle look seemed to ovep with the image of the mother Changqing longed for in her memory. Changqing was a little nostalgic and nodded after hesitating for a while.
Lakeview Residence.
Early next morning, Song Chuyi realized the door to Changqing’s room was shut when he went out for his morning run.
He walked over and opened the door. The sheets were neat, just like how they were when she left yesterday morning.
Robben walked over to his feet and wagged his tail, looking up at him with a face full of bewilderment as though he didn’t understand why the mistress of the house hadn’te backst night.
“Let’s go for a run.” Song Chuyi led him towards the door.
After the run, Auntie Wang had finished preparing breakfast. Song Chuyi poured a cup of milk and the phone on the table vibrated twice. He ignored it.
After a while, a phone call came in. It was from Song Chng. His voice was deep. “Did you see the message I sent you?”
“No, I’m eating breakfast,” Song Chuyi said lightly.
“Your wife didn’t return home the entire night and you’re still in the mood for breakfast?” Song Chngughed coldly. ” Aren’t you afraid she’ll mess around outside?”
Song Chuyi’s face suddenly turned cold. “Bro, can you not... make your words sound so harsh every time?”
“I’m not harsh. It’s the woman you’ve found who is unreliable,” Song Chng said in a deep tone. “Take a look at what I sent you. I didn’t send someone to tail her on purpose, but I just asked the paparazzi to give me all first-hand news of Yan Changqing. I did all this because I was afraid she would get into scandals and disgrace our Song Family. You were so certain, but what I was worried about still happened. Last night, there was a reporter who got a photo of her staying at Fu Yu’s vi for the entire night.”
Song Chuyi pinched his be and stood up.
Song Chng said, “Last time it was Guan Ying, now it’s Yan Changqing. If I wasn’t clear about the reason you married her, I wouldn’t have let them off at all and neither would I have let Fu Yu off. Do you think he can bully the Song Family as he pleases like this? I advise you to get a divorce sooner. Chuyi, you have to be responsible for your life.”
“I’ll make decisions for my own life. I’ll do as I please.” Song Chuyi flew into a rage from the humiliation. “You, on the other hand—you don’t even dare to fight for what you want. What right do you have to criticize me?”
He hung up the call and “smacked” the phone on the table.
Auntie Wang, who happened to be mopping the floor, got a scare and snuck a peek at him. It was a rare “overcast” sight.
Song Chuyi took a deep breath and after a while, he picked up the phone again and looked at the images sent by Song Chng. The first was a photo of her eating with Fu Yu by ake. Fu Yu was eating rice from her bowl.
Very well. The two were sharing a bowl of rice already.
The second photo was her eating dinner with Fu Yu and Shen Lu. Fu Yu was even helping her to the dishes.
In the third photo, she was in Fu Yu’s car, leaving the vi together.
Great. Away from home the entire night. Not a single call, precisely because she was at Fu Yu’s house.
What did she say about liking Fu Yu in the past? It was all a lie.
Yesterday when Fu Yu pulled her away, she didn’t even make a sound.
He was really too stupid to think that just because her hymen was still intact, she would be loyal in their marriage. There was someone in her heart and no matter what he did, he couldn’t change that.
