After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 428 - 299: Pretend I’m Sick

Fu Tingzhou lowered his head and kissed his daughter’s cheek.

In a low voice, "Mmm, daddy is here."

Tangtang woke up, rubbing her eyes, "Daddy, why are you here? Is it time for school? Time for breakfast?"

"Not yet, Tangtang can continue to sleep a little longer." Fu Tingzhou spoke softly, touching his daughter’s cheek, then glanced at Tang Xi beside him, who was still sound asleep. Tangtang wanted to speak, but Fu Tingzhou raised his hand in a silencing gesture.

"Tangtang, don’t wake mommy up. Don’t tell mommy daddy is here too."

"Why?" Tangtang didn’t understand, though she was awake, she still felt drowsy.

"Don’t ask too much, daddy will buy you mango pudding tonight."

"Okay."

Tangtang continued to sleep, and Fu Tingzhou left the bedroom.

The bedroom carried a warm, fragrant scent.

But the living room held a cold morning ambiance.

Fu Tingzhou went to the balcony to smoke.

He smoked two cigarettes.

The woman he has been thinking about for these four years, who is she? Is it Tang Xi? If it is Tang Xi, why is she hiding from him and refusing to acknowledge him?

If not, then why does he have strange feelings for Tang Xi?

Wanting to keep Tang Xi by his side.

He must figure out who the woman in his memory is.

He must recover his memory.

But right now, he finds himself somewhat greedy, coveting the life with Tang Xi and Tangtang together.

Simple, comfortable, a family of three with warmth.

He even thought that he wanted to live like this forever.

His brain was a mess.

His heart was overgrown with numerous thorns.

-

Tang Xi was woken by the alarm.

That night, she didn’t know why, but she slept extremely well.

And slept quite soundly.

When she opened her eyes, Tangtang had already changed her clothes and was leaning over the sink brushing her teeth.

Tang Xi walked over,

"Let me see, baby’s teeth are so white and clean."

"Mommy, you came back so late last night."

"Sorry, baby, mommy was at a gathering with a... friend last night, so I came back late, when mommy got home, you were already asleep."

"Daddy washed my hair, daddy also made me tomato and egg noodles."

"Oh, does it taste better when he makes it or when mommy makes it?"

Tangtang hugged Tang Xi’s legs, "Both are delicious."

Tang Xi smiled, pinching the girl’s hair tip, "Oh, now you’ve even learned to answer with high EQ."

"Mommy, then you cook tonight, okay? It’s been a long time since I’ve had your noodles."

"Okay, mommy promises you."

When Tang Xi and Tangtang went out, the breakfast was already prepared.

Fu Tingzhou was sitting at the dining table, and Tangtang was sitting in the chair beside him.

Tang Xi glanced at Fu Tingzhou, feeling very complicated.

It was as if the good mood upon waking up had instantly dissipated, her mind filled with only images of Fu Tingzhou and Ji Qingtan...

She bowed her head, biting on a piece of sushi.

Suddenly, she remembered something, "Yesterday afternoon, your phone rang, a woman called you, seemed like she was drunk and said you had blacklisted her previous number."

Fu Tingzhou had seen that call log when he woke up yesterday afternoon.

"Mmm."

Tang Xi took a sip of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, suddenly, in a flash, she seemed to remember something, looking at Fu Tingzhou, "Who was that woman?"

"What?"

"The woman who called you yesterday afternoon, the one with the phone number starting with 178."

Fu Tingzhou looked at her, "You want to know?"

The corners of the man’s mouth carried a trace of mockery, "Why do you want to know? Are you jealous?"

Tang Xi’s expression was somewhat numb.

Not appearing like she was jealous.

Instead...

It was an emotion that Fu Tingzhou couldn’t see through for a moment, the first time he saw such an expression on this woman.

Those eyes seemed empty, soulless.

A pale face, crimson lips, no expression at all.

Yet, Fu Tingzhou could see pain and sadness in her numb expression.

Fu Tingzhou frowned, "What did that woman say to you?"

Tang Xi smiled, "What do you think Ji Qingtan would say to me?"

Indeed, she remembered, that call in the afternoon, that woman’s voice, it was Ji Qingtan’s.

The same as the voice in the video.

Fu Tingzhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But seeing Tangtang eating, he remained silent.

Tang Xi remained silent too.

-

The car stopped in front of the school, as usual, Tangtang kissed Tang Xi then kissed Fu Tingzhou’s cheek, and hopped off the car cheerfully.

Today, Fu Tingzhou was driving.

The man didn’t start the car, instead, he parked by the roadside.

The two continued the morning’s conversation.

Fu Tingzhou said, "Do you know Ji Qingtan?"

Tang Xi coldly responded, "It’s you who have amnesia, not me, don’t you even remember your own sister-in-law?"

Fu Tingzhou’s expression changed slightly, "What did she say to you?"

"She didn’t say anything. Are you that afraid of what she might say to me?"

Fu Tingzhou looked up at the rearview mirror, "Tang Xi, you’re behaving unusually today."

Tang Xi knew she was acting out of the ordinary, but sometimes it’s hard to control one’s emotions.

If everyone in the world could control their emotions, then the whole planet would be at peace.

"Yes, Mr. Fu, does my unusual behavior surprise you?"

"Tang Xi, did you ever have conflicts with Ji Qingtan before?"

"No conflicts. You and I are strangers by contractual marriage, and Ji Qingtan simply had a liking for you and proudly sat dreaming of becoming the young mistress of the Fu Family."

Fu Tingzhou frowned deeply, "Calm down a bit."

"I am calm, but that’s the reality. Fu Tingzhou, can you deny your feelings for Ji Qingtan? Childhood friends, you two planning to be together, but when she thought that as an illegitimate child you had no future, she abandoned you and threw herself into your elder brother’s arms, who as the eldest son and with a better maternal family background, seemed to be the heir of Fu Enterprises. However, it turned out, he lost, you won. But in your heart, Ji Qingtan has always been there; she came back crying to you, begging for your forgiveness, could you remain unmoved?"

Tang Xi’s voice was calm and gentle, yet her words were strikingly powerful.

"Because you found out I contacted Ji Qingtan, are you jealous? Answer me directly, Tang Xi, are you jealous?"

"I’m not your wife, I have no right to be jealous." Tang Xi laughed and raised her hand to tidy her hair, brushing the stray strands behind her ear, "Even if you and Ji Qingtan enact a love scene in front of me, I shouldn’t be jealous, right?"

Fu Tingzhou’s expression darkened.

"Tang Xi, watch your words!"

"Is there anything wrong with my words?" Tang Xi looked into his eyes, watching a storm brewing in the depths of his dark pupils. She was glad to be sitting in the back seat; this way, when he got angry, he couldn’t immediately reach her.

If she were sitting in the passenger seat.

Tang Xi touched her chin.

She believed that Fu Tingzhou might strangle her.

"Tang Xi, what’s wrong with you today?"

Tang Xi shook her head, her laugh tinged with self-mockery, "You must think I’ve gone mad."

She was just an assistant, she didn’t have the authority to question him.

But the video last night, she couldn’t forget it.

A bodily instinct.

She recalled Ji Qingtan’s naked body hugging Fu Tingzhou, the two collapsing on the sofa to begin...

Tang Xi turned pale.

Almost a physiological reaction.

She started to dry heave, then quickly opened the car door and rushed to a trash bin to vomit.

Almost everything she ate in the morning came out.

As she vomited, her eyes started to redden.

The stomach is an emotional organ, the discomfort spread throughout her body instantly.

She squatted by the roadside, trying hard to calm her emotions.

A hand grabbed her shoulder, lifting her up, and the next second, the man, holding a tissue, wiped her mouth and carried her back into the car.

Tang Xi sat in the car, quietly suffering.

Fu Tingzhou stepped on the gas and drove straight to the hospital, taking her to the emergency room.
