After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 427 - 298: Giving You Time to Consider
Chapter 427: Chapter 298: Giving You Time to Consider
"Um..." Tang Xi’s expression froze, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about? Marrying you has nothing to do with whether I like Fu Tingzhou or not."
Seeing her somewhat agitated, Fu Yunye responded, "You still have feelings for him."
Tang Xi dared not meet his gaze.
It wasn’t the first time she knew that Fu Yunye’s eyes could see through everything, he was like a dormant, cold snake. "Young Master Fu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
"Don’t rush, I have something to show you," Fu Yunye said to her, "Do me a favor, go to the balcony and bring me the laptop from my desk."
Tang Xi complied.
She wanted to see what kind of trick Fu Yunye was playing.
But she hadn’t expected it to be a video.
The protagonists were Fu Tingzhou and Ji Qingtan.
However, Tang Xi didn’t know that the video had been edited to 30 seconds, and Fu Tingzhou had ultimately left by injuring himself.
In this video, the final focus was on Ji Qingtan nakedly pouncing on Fu Tingzhou, both tumbling onto the couch, the heavy breathing of the man intertwined with the husky, pleading voice of the woman.
Ah, this...
An erotic display.
If she wasn’t wrong, Ji Qingtan and Fu Yunye hadn’t divorced yet....
She herself had divorced Fu Tingzhou, this was her ex-husband, whoever he found had nothing to do with her.
But after watching this video, Tang Xi felt very uncomfortable.
That kind of discomfort that made one feel nauseous.
And she really did...
"Young Master Fu, may I use your restroom?"
Tang Xi said calmly yet quickly, then ran to the restroom, locked the door and leaned over the toilet to vomit.
She hadn’t eaten anything, so nothing came out.
It was just dry heaving.
The images of Fu Tingzhou and Ji Qingtan flashed through her mind.
Her fingers tightly clutched the toilet wall.
Her heart ached.
This has nothing to do with me, he’s an ex-husband now, and Fu Tingzhou never liked me anyway.
It’s normal for him to have sex with someone else.
There are so many aristocratic ladies chasing after him, who love him.
What am I, a contract ex-wife he easily kicked aside?
But she really felt terrible.
That video glaringly surfaced before her, watching the man she once loved with another woman?
Tang Xi bit her teeth, unable to stop her eyes from reddening.
She turned on the tap to wash her face, but she felt weak all over.
Tang Xi rested her back against the door panel.
Her chest heaved greatly.
She knew that later on, Fu Tingzhou would marry another woman.
He would have children with another woman.
Her fingers turned icy cold; her brain almost went blank.
Sister Gu stepped out of the kitchen, giving Fu Yunye a glance, "Is Dr. Tang okay?"
Fu Yunye seemed to have anticipated Tang Xi’s reaction, he lowered his head and sipped some pork rib soup, "She’s fine, just warm up the food and we can eat when she comes out."
"Yes."
It took Tang Xi more than half an hour in the restroom before she had the strength to open the door and come out.
She looked at Fu Yunye.
"Did you bring me here just to show me this?"
"Tang Xi, you owe me a favor, you said you would keep your promise. But I don’t want to force you to marry me with this favor. I hope you will willingly marry me."
Tang Xi sat on the chair, "I don’t understand, why me? Because I am Fu Tingzhou’s ex-wife? You dislike your brother, so you want to possess the woman Fu Tingzhou once had? To satisfy your pleasure, or because Fu Tingzhou slept with your wife, so you want revenge?"
Fu Yunye supported his chin with both hands, "It’s hard to say, perhaps a bit of each, but I can assure you of one thing, if you marry me, Tangtang will be our daughter, I can let your daughter stay with you, and I promise, as long as we’re married, I will maintain a distance from any other woman."
Fu Yunye said solemnly, "I am absolutely loyal to my marriage, to my wife."
Tang Xi’s heart trembled.
"Fu Yunye, I..."
The man lightly interrupted her, "No need to give me an answer now, I can give you time to consider. Wait until you return to North City, then give me your response."
At this time, Sister Gu brought over the freshly warmed dinner.
Fu Yunye said, "Let’s eat, even if you’re unhappy, you still need to eat."
Tang Xi lowered her head and took a sip of soup.
The soup was delicious, but Tang Xi felt nothing.
When you’re upset, nothing tastes good.
"I haven’t divorced Ji Qingtan yet; when I go back to North City, I will divorce her. At that time, I also hope you can give me the answer I desire," Fu Yunye stated.
This was just a subconscious inquiry from Tang Xi, "When will you return to North City?"
"Pretty soon, in about ten or so days."
Tang Xi said, "What if my answer isn’t what you hoped for, isn’t what you want to hear?"
"Tang Xi, marrying me is your best choice."
"I just hope my daughter can live a happy and healthy life, I won’t let Fu Tingzhou or anyone hurt her, Fu Tingzhou agreed to give me some shares as compensation, with these shares, even if Fu Tingzhou marries and has children, then my daughter will still be the Fu Family’s darling, no one would dare touch her."
"Tang Xi, do you think, will he really give them to you?"
"Yes." Tang Xi nodded.
Actually, she was also unsure in her heart.
But instinctively, she wanted to believe him once.
"Fu Family’s shares will only be left to the Fu Family’s legitimate heirs, not to an illegitimate daughter. Fu Tingzhou is also of this origin, and his shares in Fu Corporation were ultimately secured through grandfather. How about we make a bet? I bet that Fu Tingzhou can’t pull out these shares, I bet your hope will be dashed. But if you marry me, Tangtang is our daughter; she can rightfully own my shares, rightfully be the little princess of the Fu Family."
If it were before, Tang Xi would definitely have asked.
Do you like me?
So you want to marry me?
But now, Tang Xi wouldn’t ask this; liking or not liking, it’s too foolish.
She looked at Fu Yunye, then fell silent.
She lowered her head and began to eat.
Actually, she was confused.
She knew in her heart that what Fu Yunye said was right.
An illegitimate daughter, how could she possibly get the shares of Fu Corporation.
Even if Fu Tingzhou agreed, Fu Yuanshan would not agree.
Tang Xi calmly finished the dinner, and then left Fu Yunye’s home.
She drove, but she had no direction in front of her.
Tang Xi drove back to the hotel around ten o’clock.
At this hour, Tangtang was already asleep.
She returned to the bedroom and glanced at her daughter.
Her hair was fluffy, obviously washed, and it was Fu Tingzhou who had washed it for her.
She subconsciously looked at her phone, no calls from Fu Tingzhou.
From when she went out at around five in the afternoon until now, nearly five hours, there had been no calls from Fu Tingzhou.
She changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Then she returned to bed and hugged her daughter.
Tangtang seemed to know she was back, hugged her and called out "mommy" then leaned against her and fell asleep.
Tang Xi was also tired and fell asleep right away.
-
Fu Tingzhou pushed open the bedroom door and saw Tang Xi lying in bed asleep, holding Tangtang.
The woman was sleeping soundly, half of her hair covering her face.
On the floor, a lady’s handbag lay scattered.
And on the sofa on the other side, the clothes she wore today were casually taken off and thrown on it.
Fu Tingzhou picked up the bag from the floor and placed it on the sofa, then put the few clothes on the sofa into the laundry basket by the door.
Her shoes were not changed at the entrance but were messily scattered by the bed, which Fu Tingzhou picked up and arranged neatly.
From her actions, Fu Tingzhou could guess that her meeting with friends tonight was not pleasant.
The man gently sat down by the bed.
Then slowly, slowly, he lay down next to Tang Xi.
This was a double bed.
Tang Xi and Tangtang took up only a little space together.
The bed was large.
Fu Tingzhou lay on the very edge, beside his ex-wife and daughter.
This moment, it was indescribable.
The corners of Fu Tingzhou’s lips subtly curved in a smile that emanated from his heart.
This was a feeling of home.
Fu Tingzhou hardly slept that night.
He listened to the even breathing of the woman beside him, Tang Xi was sleeping very soundly.
And Tangtang, occasionally turned over and even muttered a few words in her sleep.
Tangtang said, "Mango pudding."
Fu Tingzhou felt like a thief at the moment, the owners of the house were asleep, and he, hoping the owners wouldn’t wake up, wanted to go about his own business.
Tang Xi turned around, originally facing away from him but now closer to him.
Fu Tingzhou’s body stiffened slightly.
The bedroom was very dim.
But so close, he could still clearly see her outline, especially as someone familiar, it was easy to recognize.
Fu Tingzhou rarely watched her from such a close distance while being so awake.
He reached out, only a centimeter away, he could touch her cheek.
Then he withdrew his hand.
Tang Xi seemed to regard him as security, or as her daughter would.
She hugged his arm, her cheek resting on his shoulder.
Fu Tingzhou’s arm went numb.
Until the morning, when the daylight was bright.
His arm was somewhat numb with congestion.
He slowly stood up, pulled out his arm, and covered Tang Xi and Tangtang with a blanket.
Tangtang opened her eyes, slightly dazed, and called out, "Daddy, you’re here too."
