Chapter 8 – Guarding an Empty Room
The next morning, when Tong Yuwu woke up, she found that no one was in the bed. The old house was different from her own home, and she didn't want to sleep until noon. She set the alarm before going to bed yesterday. It was seven o'clock in the morning. She washed and dressed as quickly as possible, and it was eight twenty when she went downstairs. Fu Liheng would also get up in the morning to go for a morning run when he had enough time. He just came back from outside.
He was wearing a black sports wear and had temporarily taken off his gold-rimmed glasses, making him look several years younger.
"Awake?" Fu Liheng walked up to her and asked.
Tong Yuwu nodded slightly, "I seem to have gotten up late."
"I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay," Tong Yuwu thought about it and looked up to ask for his opinion, "Do you need me to help you pack your clothes?"
For Tong Yuwu, this is also a way to enhance their relationship. She used to think that this link was just the icing on the cake. After the changes in the past few days, she began to wonder whether she should be more enthusiastic about Fu Liheng, even though she was already enthusiastic enough about him.
"No need." Just when Tong Yuwu was ready to go upstairs, she heard Fu Liheng say this and went straight upstairs.
?
? ?
What happened? Wasn't everything fine yesterday?
Although Tong Yuwu was stunned, her face was only stunned for a few seconds before returning to normal. She even went to the dining room with a smile on her face.
He was fine yesterday, but he became much colder today... It's true that it's difficult for men to hide their emotions when they have other ideas!
Even if Fu Liheng has no one outside now, he probably already has a backup candidate.
If they weren't in the old house, Tong Yuwu would have wanted to curse.
After breakfast, Fu Liheng went to the company, and Tong Yuwu accompanied Mrs. Fu to choose jewelry.
Every time she came to Madam Fu's jewelry room, Tong Yuwu would sigh with emotion, saying that being Madam Fu was so lucky, as there were so many priceless jewels here. When she was fourteen years old, she heard that a set of jewelry called Heart of Hope was bought for 80 million... and this set of jewelry was displayed in Madam Fu's jewelry room.
Today, Tong Yuwu was not as enthusiastic as before, but rather a little absent-minded.
Mrs. Fu also noticed it. After asking the servant and the designer to leave, she picked up a cup of flower tea and asked elegantly, "How have you been recently?"
Even though Tong Yuwu's heart was already in turmoil, her expression remained calm.
Although she guessed that Fu Liheng might have someone else outside, she would not seek help from Mrs. Fu.
In a wealthy family, her marriage, which was obviously one where she was the one who benefitted the most, was inherently humble and weak. In the eyes of some people, even if Fu Liheng had someone else outside, so what?
Mrs. Fu is her mother-in-law and Fu Liheng's biological mother.
Anyone who is not crazy can tell who is close and who is distant.
"Not bad." Tong Yuwu pursed her lips and gathered the hair behind her ears. "Liheng just came back from abroad. I was afraid that he would have a hard time adjusting to the jet lag. Yesterday I was thinking of asking Aunt Wang to make some soothing soup. I didn't expect that he slept even better than the night before."
At first, she and Mrs. Fu had nothing to talk about. But as they spent more time together, she calmed down and felt more comfortable getting along with Mrs. Fu than before.
Mrs. Fu had a faint smile on her lips. "That's good. This old house is still too deserted. Your presence has made it a lot more lively."
Tong Yuwu lowered her head to hide the true emotions in her eyes.
Well, now she’s starting to use the gentle and graceful approach to urge her to have a baby.
"The old lady used to say that the Fu family was good in everything except having few offspring. I even advised her that every family has its own destiny..."
What's the point of urging her? If you have the spare time, use half of it to urge your son.
Tong Yuwu listened to Mrs. Fu's hint with a smile on her face, pretending not to understand.
***
Tong Yuwu took a whole set of gemstones and jewelry from Mrs. Fu and returned home with a full load. After returning to her home, she sat on the sofa and selected suitable photos and posted some on her WeChat circle of friends. There were two photos in this circle of friends, one was the gift that Fu Liheng brought back, and the other was a selfie she took in the car yesterday. She was beautiful in the photo, but the angle was very deliberate, and Fu Liheng's profile was captured in the photo.
She did not put any caption for this photo.
After a while, she received a lot of likes from young ladies.
She looked at the praises in the comments with satisfaction and felt happy.
Thinking that she might become an abandoned woman in a year, Tong Yuwu's face became even uglier. At this moment, the system popped up appropriately. After the program was upgraded, the page became much more colorful.
System: [Hello user, this program has been upgraded. Now we are announcing the tasks and rewards. The reward is 500,000! ]
Tong Yuwu didn't even raise her eyelids, she just focused on admiring the big diamond ring on her right ring finger.
Five hundred thousand is not enough to buy a good bag.
The system naturally couldn't hear Tong Yuwu's complaints, nor could it see the indifferent expression on her face: [Complete Task #1, and you can withdraw 500,000 cash from this system one year later. Task #1 is easy, and you can challenge it three times. After three failures, this system will be permanently invalid, and the user will bear the tragic fate on her own.]
Tragic fate?
Tong Yuwu didn't believe it.
No matter why Fu Liheng married her, at least he was satisfied with her. If he wanted to divorce, would she had no say at all? She had spent three years of her youth, even if they don't talk about the credit, she must have worked hard, right? Now, are they asking her to let the duck fly away? She will not agree!
The system waited for a long time but Tong Yuwu didn't ask what Task #1 was: […Task #1, the task is for the user to spend only 1,000 yuan for a week.]
Tong Yuwu stood up. She originally wanted to go to Fu’s mansion again today, but she came to her senses in time. It was just a short period of time, but she was already losing her temper?
***
Every time Fu Liheng came back from a business trip, he would ask his assistant to cancel nearly a week's worth of social engagements. After getting off work, he would have dinner with Tong Yuwu, or they would go back to the old house together. Today was no exception. The assistant knew his habit, and sure enough, at six o'clock, he saw Fu Liheng coming out of the office.
It only takes an hour's drive from the company to Songjing Villa.
Fu Liheng sat in the back seat, his legs crossed, one hand casually placed on his knee. He lowered his eyes, making it impossible to detect his emotions.
When they got home, Sister Liu said in surprise, "Sir, you're back!"
Fu Liheng calmly glanced around the house and didn't see Tong Yuwu in the living room. When he was about to go upstairs, Sister Liu followed him and said hurriedly, "Sir, madam went out this afternoon and said she won't be back for dinner tonight."
At that time, she thought that the husband and wife had made an appointment to eat out. After all, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and the couple must have a romantic time.
She didn't expect the young master to come back at this time...
She hasn't told the kitchen to prepare dinner yet.
Fu Liheng stopped and looked puzzled, "Did she say where she was going?"
Sister Liu shook her head: "No."
How could the madam explain where she was going to these servants?
The madam has a good temper, but no matter how good she is, she is still the wife of the young master.
Fu Liheng hummed, and went upstairs as planned. Sister Liu didn't dare to think too much, and went to the annex building to find the chef as quickly as possible, asking him to prepare dinner quickly. As for other things, it should be dealt later on.
After she finished her work, Sister Liu finally had time to catch her breath. She couldn't help but wonder, did the couple have a conflict?
Tong Yuwu didn't go anywhere. She was just looking around on the bedside table. Many people would send her invitations and postcards. They were usually parties organized by celebrities themselves. On the surface, they were for eating, drinking and having fun, but in fact, they were also for building relationships. She didn't attend parties very often. Occasionally, when she was not in a good mood, she would go to show off and listen to others' flattery. She would definitely feel much better when she came back.
Today she was going to attend her plastic sister's housewarming party, so she dressed herself up beautifully and went out. Attending the party was secondary. She mainly wanted to "indulge" herself and let Fu Liheng experience the feeling of "staying alone in an empty room" after returning home. She would go home when the time was almost up. She would drink a little wine to release her temper a little. Anyway, she will not actually be drunk, and she would act coquettishly in front of him, asking for kisses and favors... Then, when she was not in a clear state of consciousness, she will not go too far, only flirt with him and then there’s no need to explain the next details.
She opened the camera on her phone and looked at her makeup today. It was perfect. The dess was even more beautiful. It was a strapless style with a fitted waistline, which made her waist look slim and easy to take grip. More importantly, it was easy to take off.
Tong Yuwu held her chin with one hand. She was truly a typical example of a two-faced b*tch. She cursed him like a dog in her heart, but in the end she had to find ways to please him.
She stretched out a hand and wrote a word on the glass table: Scum.
