Looking back, they see Han Tengyue, who is staring at them with strange eyes.
Ji Muxuan realizes his head is close to Fu Zhengzheng’s. Besides, only they are in the sitting room. No wonder his father thinks it improper. He straightens his body immediately and moves away while saying in a low voice, “Let’s talk at another time.”
Fu Zhengzheng is embarrassed by Han Tengyue’s cough. After all, there was a misunderstanding because she was close to Ji Muxian, so she stands up.
“I’ll go to the study to look at their video chat.”
Then she enters the study.
Ji Muxian stands up and plans to go out, but Han Tengyue holds him back.
“Muxian, Zhengzheng is your sister-in-law. You’re supposed to avoid arousing suspicion. If Tian and Siqi see…”
“Got it.” Ji Muxian can’t be bothered to explain.
Han Tengyue isn’t happy about Ji Muxian’s dry response. He wants to lecture him more, but when he sees Ji Yashu come out with the two kids, he swallows back the words.
Ji Yashu sees Han Tengyue and comes forward smilingly, “Tengyue, looking at the photos sent by Muxian, I’m eager to take Xingxing and Xiaoxiao out for travel.”
Han Tengyue objects at once, “You can’t. They have to go to kindergarten. Do you want to make them get into the habit of skipping school?”
“I won’t take them to a remote place. Now the weather is so good. We can take them to the suburbs for a spring outing.”
“Don’t go out. Isn’t the scenery in Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort beautiful?”
Fu Xing pouts his lips, “Grandpa, I have walked around Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort with Xiaoxiao. There is nothing new.”
Han Tengyue squats and holds Fu Xing, “When I went out today, I saw someone attacking others with knives. It’s dangerous to go out. After it is safe, I’ll take you out to play, OK?”
Hearing that, Fu Xing begins to gesticulate, “Is the knife so long?”
“Yes!” Han Tengyue nods heavily.
Fu Xing’s mouth corners twitch due to scare. He asks gingerly, “Were hands chopped off?”
“Yeah. I saw someone get attacked on the ground, and he bled a lot. Many policemen came…”
Ji Yashu pokes Han Tengyue and interrupts him with a scowl, “Stop it. If you don’t allow kids to go out, that’s OK. Why do you make up the scary thing? They will be frightened!”
Hearing the expression “make up”, Hang Tengyue becomes unhappy, “I’m not making up. I really saw someone attacking people with knives.”
Seeing the fear in both kids’ eyes, Fu Zhengzheng goes to hold them immediately and smiles, “Grandpa is telling you a story.”
Then Han Tengyue finds the two kids are scared by what he says, so he says following Fu Zhengzheng, “Don’t be afraid. I’m telling a story.”
“Grandpa tells a scary story. Let’s get away from him.” Ji Yashu takes the two kids to the dining room.
Finding the two kids don’t glance at him, Han Tengyue feels sad. He catches up with them immediately, takes the other hand of Fu Xing, and explains quietly.
Fu Zhengzheng looks at Han Tengyue’s figure, lost in thought.
She believes what Han Tengyue says is true. But does the public security of B City become so poor? Are there guys that dare to attack people with knives on the street?
Since Li Ming was put into prison, the public security of B City has been excellent. In the past, even though Zhou Bing and his men were audacious, they restrained themselves and were not so savage.
She doesn’t know who the savage persons are.
Chen Qiaolan hasn’t called for dinner, so she returns to her room and calls Yang Tao to ask about it.
Yang Tao tells her the public security is indeed poor recently. The police are investigating Rongsheng. Many small shareholders with ulterior motives disintegrate Rongsheng, being unharmonious. Tong Lean is busy rescuing Gu Yang from the prison through an interpersonal network. He has no time to deal with that and resigns himself to the administration in their own ways. What’s worse, many underworld guys flock here from D City and are involved in these things. As a result, the situation becomes chaotic.
At last, Yang Tao warns her again, “The small shareholders of Rongsheng used to completely obey the instructions of Gu Yang and Tong Lean, and they were not disobedient at all. However, now they dare to be against them openly. I suspect someone is inciting them behind. Perhaps someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to achieve his own aim. The aim might be the coffer. Of course, it’s just our speculation. But anyway, you must be more cautious.”
“Yang Tao, can’t you warn me less frequently? I have a good memory,” Fu Zhengzheng laughs.
But Yang Tao doesn’t laugh, “Zhengzheng, the situation becomes more and more complex. You must be careful, no matter what you do.”
“I will.”
“Muxian has told you the arrangement, right?”
“He told me about Zhang Min, but he didn’t say when it would be suitable to arrange her meeting with Fu Wenhai.” Fu Zhengzheng is too embarrassed to say that Muxian didn’t tell her because Han Tengyue almost misunderstood them.
“There is no rush. Fu Wenhai won’t be discharged from the hospital until tomorrow. Let them meet after he is out of the hospital. Zhang Min also needs to be familiar with the environment.”
“OK.”
“You worked hard during the past days. But you have to go to work tomorrow and keep in contact with Zhang Min anytime.”
“I know.”
“Zhengzheng, it’s time for dinner.” Chen Qiaolan calls her outside. Fu Zhengzheng responds at once. Yang Tao has finished what he wants to say, so he hangs up the phone.
She walks downstairs and sees Tian Xin, Ji Muxian and others, except Han Siqi.
Seeing her look around, Ji Yashu says sympathetically at once, “Muxian is away, and Siqi becomes extremely busy. He goes out early and comes back late every day. I told Muxian just now that they should come back earlier after they relieve boredom.”
Fu Zhengzheng responds with a smile, “Mom, our brother not only takes Nie Wan out for fun but also exploits new projects for the company. Besides, isn’t it good to make Siqi busier? His life will be enriched.”
Ji Yashu laughs, “When you find you can’t see him every day, you won’t hope his life is so enriched.”
“Brother will come back then.”
Now that Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t blame Han Siqi, Ji Yashu doesn’t say more.
At the table, Tian Xin asks about Fu Zhengzheng’s parents. Fu Zhengzheng briefly replies that they are fine.
After dinner, Tian Xin goes upstairs with Fu Zhengzheng. After entering her room, she gives a cellphone to Fu Zhengzheng.
“Muxian asked me to give it to you and said it’s convenient for your contact.”
Fu Zhengzheng knows the cellphone is used to contact Zhang Min and puts it aside immediately. But recalling Han Tengyue’s suspicious eyes, she can’t help laughing.
“When I discussed work with Muxian in the sitting room, Fu Xing’s grandpa entered and saw us sitting together. He didn’t look happy.”
Tian Xin laughs, “Muxian has told me. Let me see if you dare to sit together again.”
“Oh, how jealous you are!”
Tian Xin raises her face intentionally and proudly, “Who doesn’t know Ji Muxian is completely loyal to me? Do I need to be jealous?”
“Wow, I always thought Muxian was poor in speech. Unexpectedly, he has a honeyed tongue when you were alone and can coax our Tian to be senseless.”
“Oh, please.” Tian Xin laughs and points at the cellphone Fu Zhengzheng just put aside, “I convey information for you. Will you pay or reward me?”
“Reward? Yes.”
“Give it to me.”
“Isn’t it the best reward that Muxian accompanies you at home instead of being on night duty?” Fu Zhengzheng says while winking at her.
Hearing Fu Zhengzheng’s implication, Tian Xin spits at her.
“It’s his duty to please me at night. How can it be regarded as your reward? Let’s stop here. I kept busy for the whole day in the restaurant. I’m too tired. I have to go back for a bath.”
Fu Zhengzheng sees Tian Xin out and whispers to her, “After you take a bath, ask Muxian to help you relax.”
Tian Xin rolls her eyes at Fu Zhengzheng, “It’s needless to say.”
Then they laugh together.
Fu Zhengzheng takes a bath too. Then she lies on the bed and watches the evening news of the city. Sure enough, she sees the news of attacking people with knives on the street, which Han Tengyue said. But according to the news, two gangs fought because of business conflict, and other information isn’t explained clearly.
Is it really because of business conflict?
She doesn’t believe it.
Fu Wenhai will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. She doesn’t know if she should go to see him or pick him up from the hospital. After all, all know that she and Han Siqi have a good personal relationship with Fu Wenhai.
It’s almost 10:00 p.m., but Han Siqi hasn’t come back. She can’t help calling him and asks him why he hasn’t come back. He says he still has some work to deal with and tells her to sleep first. When she tells him Fu Wenhai will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, he says he knows it and then hangs up the phone quickly.
It has been several days since he saw her last time. Isn’t he supposed to come back instantly when he hears she has been back?
It has been a long time since they had intimacy last time. It used to be their daily activity.
Thinking of this, Fu Zhengzheng’s face flushes. She accuses herself of being so thirsty.
The first sex of her and Han Siqi was in a drunken state. She didn’t remember the feeling. Afterward, she lived with Fu Xing and didn’t think about it. But after she marries Han Siqi, he lets her experience the women’s pleasure and makes her eager for it gradually.
Because she was busy with Zhang Min’s intensive training in the past days, she had no time to think about it. But today, she lies on the bed shared by her and Han Siqi, and feels the air is full of his unique smell. She becomes eager for it. She wishes that he can come back earlier and holds her tightly. She also wants to fall asleep against his muscular chest.
She turns around, holds his pillow in her arms, moves her face to it as if she is close to his face, and then closes her eyes slowly.
But she feels uncomfortable. Though she is sleepy, she can’t fall asleep.
She gropes for the cellphone and finds it’s already 11:00 p.m. She can’t help calling Han Siqi again. The ringtone goes off for a long time, but he doesn’t answer the call. Finally, she hears a voice prompt that the subscriber she dials is not available.
She calls once more, but the phone is still not answered. She can’t help feeling worried. He always takes his cellphone with him.
Did something happen to him?
