Chapter 9 - Ideas
Tong Yuwu always has someone by her side.
She was sitting aside drinking champagne. Just when she was quiet for a while, a young woman in a red dress came.
The person who came was Lu Yinyin, who could be considered as Tong Yuwu's follower. Before Tong Yuwu and Fu Liheng were together, even someone like Lu Yinyin had the capital to look down on her, but now the situation has changed.
"Yuwu, guess who I met yesterday?" Lu Yinyin sat next to Tong Yuwu and said in a low voice with a mysterious look.
Tong Yuwu finally perked up and glanced at her, her eyebrows curved: "Who is it?"
Every time Lu Yinyin saw Tong Yuwu dressed like this, she would feel jealousy in her heart.
However, this feeling of jealousy instantly subsided after seeing her face.
If you compare goods to others, you will throw them away; if you compare people to others, you will be damned. If she were a man, she would also like Tong Yuwu. Even though Fu Liheng is an unattainable young master of Yanjing, he is still a man.
"I ran into Xiang Shuling!" Lu Yinyin sighed. "She's so unlucky. Wasn't it rumored last year that she was getting engaged to a rising star's son? But before the news got too hot, he turned around and officially announced his marriage to a female celebrity."
Xiang Shuling is indeed not very lucky in terms of marriage.
Before Tong Yuwu showed up, everyone thought that the Xiang family and the Fu family would join forces and she would become Mrs. Fu. However, a few days later, Fu Liheng took Tong Yuwu on a night date in Tokyo.
After Tong Yuwu got engaged and married to Fu Liheng, Xiang Shuling became a joke in the circle. Of course, people were afraid of the Xiang family's power and did not dare to laugh at her in public. However, this was enough to make people feel hurt when it was a topic of conversation behind closed doors.
Tong Yuwu lost interest immediately when she heard Lu Yinyin talking about this gossip in a mocking tone.
Even if she wanted to say something about Xiang Shuling, she couldn't because who knows how it would be spread.
Many people don't know, but Tong Yuwu actually envies Xiang Shuling very much. The Xiang family is wealthy, she has a capable brother, her family is happy and harmonious, and no matter what she does, she has someone to support her. As for things like marriage - once she becomes Xiang Shuling, with her confidence, who the hell would care whether she gets married or not!
She wanted to exchange life with Xiang Shuling, but the other person might not agree.
As the favored eldest daughter of the Xiang family, she is rich and powerful, so why would she need to exchange life with someone who is worse that her? Even if Fu Liheng was in front of her, he wouldn't be attractive to her.
"Hey! Yuwu, drink less." Lu Yinyin saw Tong Yuwu drinking champagne. Her fair face turned pink and her eyes were a little confused. It seemed like she was drunk.
Tong Yuwu would naturally stop when she hits her limit.
Not to mention that she has a good alcohol tolerance, even in a party like this, if she drinks too much and is targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it is estimated that someone will spread the rumor tomorrow that she was ignored by Fu Liheng and that she was drinking to drown her sorrows.
Almost no one knows that Tong Yuwu is a heavy drinker.
When she was studying abroad, she was dragged by a friend to a party. She was forced to drink and almost fell into a trap. From that day on, she learned from her mistakes and knew that if she didn't have a good background, she would have troubles. She couldn't predict other things, but she didn't want drinking to be her weakness.
She can't drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but after a few glasses of champagne, although her face is flushed, she is actually very clear-headed.
Tong Yuwu lifted her hair, with an annoyed expression: "You don't know, but my husband usually doesn't let me drink. When I accompany him to social events, I just drink a little. He came back from a business trip these past two days, and I slept very late at night."
Lu Yinyin: ...I suspect that you are giving out dog food, and I have sufficient evidence!
There were people standing nearby chatting, and they chatted without even taking a break.
"I want to drink some wine today. So that it can help me sleep better at night. That's what the doctor told me."
Several rich ladies rolled their eyes in their hearts.
Okay, okay, I know that you and your husband live in harmony, and that you are so charming that your husband can’t stop lusting after you! Can you can break up now?!
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Tong Yuwu took her bag and left after several people pretended to persuade her to stay.
After helping Tong Yuwu sit in the back seat of the car, Lu Yinyin was still a little worried: "You really don't need me to accompany you home?"
Tong Yuwu smiled and waved her hand, "No, you can go back home too."
After Lu Yinyin nodded, she felt that her worries were unnecessary. Tong Yuwu was always accompanied by a driver whenever she went out. She knew this driver, who was very skilled and had multiple roles: driver and bodyguard. He would naturally send Tong Yuwu back safely.
***
Fu Liheng rarely brings back his work at home, especially when he just came back from a business trip. A lot of work is in the final stages. He has been idle this week, but that doesn't mean he has the leisure to watch TV series. When he sat on the bed after taking a shower and was about to check the current affairs news on his phone, an ad popped up on the page. It was a short video that looked like a clip from a TV series.
This was a sudden event. Before Fu Liheng could find a way to close the page, he was forced to watch the entire 20-second video.
In the video, the heroine got drunk after knowing that her ex got married. The hero took her home. When he helped her lie down on the bed, the heroine hugged him and looked at him with tears in her eyes. It is an important moment when their relationship is heating up, but the heroine suddenly called out her ex's name. The hero became violent and punched the wall.
Fu Liheng closed the video without any expression and continued to watch the latest news.
After watching the news, he glanced at the time on his phone. It was half past ten.
He has been married to Tong Yuwu for two years, and they both know each other's patterns and habits. They have a tacit understanding on many things. In the past, every time he came back from a business trip, he would stay for about a week to have dinner with her. But this time was different. It was not him who broke this habit, but her.
She should have known that he would come home for dinner this afternoon, but she was not at home.
Fu Liheng never liked to guess what other people were thinking. Maybe it was because the bedroom was too quiet, he thought about what happened yesterday.
They met Qin Yi yesterday. He didn't know what she dreamed about last night that made her cry sadly.
Fu Liheng reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose.
At this time, the landline on the bedroom rang. He got out of bed and answered the call, and found that it was Sister Liu who was calling on the internal line.
"Sir, madam is back!"
Fu Liheng paused and said, "Yeah."
"Madan is drunk. She seems to have drunk a lot of wine!" Sister Liu was undecided and felt that she should tell him. "I will make a hangover soup for madam."
Tong Yuwu sat on the sofa, but she pricked up her ears to listen to Sister Liu's phone call. Sister Liu is such a wonderful person.
With a small body like hers, Sister Liu could have helped her up the stairs by herself, but Sister Liu didn't do that. Instead, she called Fu Liheng, asking him to come downstairs to pick her up.
She didn't know what Fu Liheng said on the phone, but after Sister Liu hung up, her steps became much lighter.
Acting has to be half true and half false. If it's too fake, anyone can see the flaws. Tong Yuwu drank some wine today, but the blush on her face was also due to the added light blush. If she was really drunk and smelled bad, who would be interested in her?
She is... a really boring person, and sometimes she seems a bit hypocritical.
Although she had married Fu Liheng and was determined to please him, she could not bring herself to fully commit to it. She was deeply influenced by her parents' teachings when she was a child. Before she was fifteen, she was a precious jewel in the palm of her parents' hands. Some shameless things really tested her psychological quality.
After drinking, she had fewer concerns. Even if she did something that was inconsistent with her identity as ‘Mrs. Fu’, Fu Liheng would not take it to heart because she was drunk.
Fu Liheng went downstairs quickly, glanced around, and saw the drowsy Tong Yuwu on the sofa in the living room. He walked over and stood in front of her. She smelled of alcohol, but it was not unpleasant, she smelled bit like the scent of fresh fruit. She did not sit upright like she usually did when she was sober. Her fair skin now looked like a tender peach, with a hazy pink color.
She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, much more charming than usual.
It seems that she is really drunk.
Under Sister Liu's surprised gaze, Fu Liheng picked up Tong Yuwu and went straight upstairs.
Sister Liu waited until there was no sound in the living room before she muttered to herself, "How can it be so easy to hold a living person? It's like watching a TV show, and it's the princess carry. It's just that the person is too thin. Would it still be easy to hold someone who is a little fatter?"
The master bedroom was on the second floor of the villa. Fu Liheng carried Tong Yuwu to the bedroom. After getting drunk, she did not make a fuss like others, but leaned quietly on his chest.
Fu Liheng lived to his thirties. He was steady, self-controlled, noble and proud. He had hardly made any mistakes. If there was one imperfection in his life, it would be this marriage that did not bring any benefits to him or the company.
He stood by the bed, looking down at his wife lying on the bed.
He was introverted and taciturn, and in his thirties, except for his violent and naughty childhood, he rarely showed his emotions.
Tong Yuwu opened her eyes and looked at Fu Liheng, preparing herself mentally for whether she should sit up and hold his waist tightly, taking the opportunity to act coquettishly. But then she saw a depth in his eyes that she could not understand.
She wondered if it was because of the light behind her.
She had rehearsed many times in her mind how to sit up in a way that would appear both drunk and aesthetically pleasing.
All she saw was Fu Liheng bending down, with a cool breath on his body, and his tone was calm: "Who am I?"
