Chapter 10 – Acting Coquettish
Tong Yuwu was stunned for a very short second. She had thought of many situations, but she never expected Fu Liheng to ask such a question.
Who is he?
He is her gold master!
In reality, she was not allowed to be in a daze for too long. Many thoughts passed through her mind. Under Fu Liheng's unclear expression, Tong Yuwu pretended to tilt her head and stared at him seriously, as if trying to identify who he was.
Just this one sentence easily broke all her plans.
He is indeed the man in the novel who would send her away after being giving her a few million.
At this time, if she treated him as someone else and called another man's name, she suspected that the plot of the novel would happen a year earlier, and she would see the divorce agreement from Fu Liheng tomorrow.
But calling his name doesn't prove that she is not that drunk? Should she go on with the next scene or not?
This bastard always gives her problems!
Tong Yuwu's face was flushed, and she weakly supported herself with her elbows and sat up. Silence was better than words here, so she simply took advantage of the situation. In front of Fu Liheng's astonished eyes, she reached out her hands to hug his waist and rubbed into his chest with great affection.
"Then, who are you?"
You are the one who has captured my soul and made me think about you day and night. You damned devil!
Being slightly drunk is the most charming thing.
It was too cheap to act crazy when drunk. She relied on the effect of alcohol and quietly poked her head out like a snail. If he liked her, she would let him know what a beautiful woman was. If he didn't like her, she would fall down and pretend to sleep in a second. She could attack or defend.
Tong Yuwu felt Fu Liheng's body tense.
She simply hugged him tighter, raised her head to look at him, and pouted: "Tell me, who are you?"
Fu Liheng was silent for a moment and he was regretting his stupidity. No matter who she has loved, she is already his wife. It was not that he had no choice at the beginning. He chose her because he knew she was sensible and obedient enough. In the past two years, she had proven that his decision was correct.
He raised his hand and pressed it on her head with a strong force.
"I'm Fu Liheng, your husband." Even though she was drunk, he still wanted to remind her that he was Fu Liheng, her husband, and she should remember this fact even in her dreams.
Tong Yuwu blinked innocently.
She didn't know if she was acting or not, but she felt the embarrassment.
"Hubby!" Tong Yuwu lowered her head and sniffed. Of course, she didn't smell bad. Otherwise, with Fu Liheng's mysophobia, he would never tolerate her hugging him like this. "I'm so hot, I want to take a shower. Carry me."
Normally, even if she had the courage, she would not dare to use such a commanding tone to Fu Liheng.
Fu Liheng stared at her, and she looked at him without fear, and even smiled at him foolishly, confirming her drunken state.
Finally, Fu Liheng gave in. When she was sober, she would accidentally fall in the bathroom. Now that she was drunk, he didn't want to send her to the hospital so late at night.
Fu Liheng picked up Tong Yuwu and went straight to the bathroom.
Tong Yuwu's heart was beating like a drum. After all, what she was about to do was something she had never done in her 25 years of life. It was a direct challenge to her highest level of shame. After arriving in the bathroom, when Fu Liheng didn't know whether he should leave, Tong Yuwu practiced many times in the bathroom this afternoon. Now, she naturally moved to unzip the back of her skirt. She was facing away from Fu Liheng. At this moment, she turned her head slightly and said in a coquettish tone, "I can't reach it."
She could definitely reach the zipper when she wasn't drunk, but now that she was drunk and weak, how could she have the strength to do that? If he knew what was good for him, he would have taken over her act.
Fu Liheng stared at her steadily. He was originally standing against the wall, but after hearing these words, he slowly straightened up.
…
The alcohol she drank was not enough to make Tong Yuwu drunk and unconscious, but she spent too much time in the bathroom. When Fu Liheng carried her out, she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes and fell into a deep sleep soon.
Fu Liheng couldn't sleep. He went over the recent project cases in his mind, and his thoughts stopped on Tong Yuwu.
He didn't know why she was behaving like this for the past two days. It might be because of Qin Yi, or it might not be.
But he wouldn't hold it against her.
He pulled the quilt for her. She was not so obedient when she slept. She turned over and hung on him like a koala. In the past, he would push her away and let her sleep well. His time was also precious, so he naturally had to rest well. But this time, he did not push her away. Instead, he reached out and hugged her waist. He closed his eyes, and the moonlight shone in from the window. His nose was straight, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, which made him look less cold compared to the usual him.
The next morning, when Tong Yuwu woke up, Fu Liheng had already gone to work.
She stood in front of the bathroom sink, turned around, glanced at the bathtub, her little face blushed, and she began to brush her teeth and wash her face seriously.
She didn’t know if yesterday’s plan was successful?
She had no plans to go out today, so she called a personal trainer to come to her house. She never dared to slack off on body management, and she would always make appointments with a personal trainer three or four days a week. A person's posture is very important. Many modern office workers have their backs bent due to heavy work. Once a person has a hunchback, even if it is only slightly, it will particularly affect his temperament.
Tong Yuwu started learning dance at a very young age. Last year, on the wedding anniversary of Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, the opening dance she performed with Fu Liheng also amazed many people.
The system was generally not annoying and would only speak when she was looking for it.
Not being noisy makes Tong Yuwu feel at ease.
While waiting for the personal trainer to come home, Tong Yuwu finally had time to take care of it and quietly asked: [What was the task you mentioned last time?]
She really forgot.
System: […The challenge is to spend only 1,000 yuan for a week.]
Tong Yuwu frowned: [How much did you say?]
System: [One thousand yuan. This program has studied the prices here. The monthly expenses of an average family of two is less than three thousand yuan.]
Tong Yuwu: [One thousand yuan is not enough for me to get a hair treatment.]
She gets her hair done once a week, not to mention nail care and her weekly visit to the dermatologist.
System: [This is the lowest-difficulty mission.]
Tong Yuwu was helpless: [Okay, when does it start?]
This instantly perked up the system: [Are you sure you want to challenge?]
It originally thought that the host would ignore it, and it was ready to uninstall the software from the host’s brain after three failed challenges. Unexpectedly, the host did not seem to give up on saving herself?
Tong Yuwu: [Of course. When will it start?]
System: [On the 8th, at 12 o'clock midnight.]
Tong Yuwu's intention to challenge the tasks does not mean that she has accepted her original ending in the novel.
She has no one to rely on in this world. She only has herself. She is willing to protect this family and marriage with Fu Liheng to the best of her ability.
However, pinning her entire future on a man and an unknown marriage was definitely not something she would do.
She had to find a way out for herself. The system said that this was only the first task. Although 500,000 yuan was not much, it would add up to a lot. In this year, she would manage this marriage well and try to consolidate her position in Fu Liheng's heart. But at the same time, she would actively accept the tasks issued by the system. After a year, if the ending could be changed, that would be the best. If Fu Liheng's determination to divorce could not be changed, she would have money in her account by then. As the saying goes, money in hand makes one feel at ease.
She believes that a man can conquer nature, and novels are written by people. Although the ending is difficult to change, it is not impossible to change it.
Three years ago, she was able to become Fu Liheng's fiancée under such difficult situation, which shows that God favors her. Since he favored her once, he will continue to favor her.
***
It was midsummer and Fu Liheng had the first button of his shirt buttoned tightly. Normally, when he was busy at work, he would unbutton his shirt and loosen his tie, but today he was very meticulous and ascetic.
This is because he discovered through the mirror that there was a shallow scratches and a suspicious red mark on his neck when he was getting dressed in the morning.
She must have left it there accidentally.
Fu Liheng's methods in the business world are fierce, and he always uses ruthless moves that make his opponents unable to cope. In the eyes of both his opponents and subordinates, he is a person who should be dealt with extreme alertness. His assistants and secretaries have been with him for several years, but they still dare not breathe in front of him and are very nervous. Even some senior leaders of the company, every time Fu Liheng comes back from a business trip, the company's morale will inexplicably drop.
Although Assistant Wang knew that he didn't have the ability to analyze Mr. Fu's mood, he could feel that Mr. Fu should be in a good mood today.
Specifically when this happened:
Today he ordered a bento meal for Mr. Fu, but the restaurant staff might have been careless and there was a dish of shredded beef with green pepper. Mr. Fu disliked eating green pepper the most, so whenever Mr. Fu was present at a dinner party, there would be no trace of green pepper on the table.
People like Mr. Fu would naturally not get angry because there were green peppers on the dinner table, but even if their superior slightly frowned, it would be enough to scare the people below.
But today, the bento meal included shredded beef with green peppers, and he almost pissed himself on the spot. He could only blame himself for being careless and not checking because he was busy with work.
He didn’t know what Mr. Fu was thinking, but he actually picked up the chopsticks and tasted the green pepper!
Although Mr. Fu did not take a second bite, Assistant Wang was also shocked. What prompted Mr. Fu to try the green pepper that he hated the most in his life?
Assistant Wang racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, so he could only end the story by saying that Mr. Fu was in a good mood today. If he wasn't in a good mood, he would have frowned when he saw the green pepper and shredded beef dish. So the question is, how good was his mood that he even tasted the green pepper?
