After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 436 - 304: Hold Tight

Tang Xi left at ten o’clock in the evening.

She was a little bit drunk.

Gu Zhiyi was supporting her, Zhiyi wanted Tang Xi to stay over for the night together.

But Tang Xi said she wanted to go back home tonight.

Gu Zhiyi was getting ready to call a taxi for her. freewebnøvel.com

Just as they walked out of the store, they saw a car parked not far from the entrance.

Gu Zhiyi recognized the car. It looked simple and unpretentious, but the interior was luxurious and its performance excellent, and the price was not cheap. Anyone who could afford this car was no ordinary person, and it being parked near the store entrance in the middle of the night clearly meant that it was Tang Xi’s ex-husband, Tingzhou, who had come.

Gu Zhiyi was just supporting Tang Xi to walk over.

Fu Tingzhou got out of the car, opened the door, and took Tang Xi from Gu Zhiyi’s hands and carried her into the car.

Gu Zhiyi crossed her arms, giving Fu Tingzhou a thorough once-over. She had seen this man before. The typical tall, rich, and handsome—if he loves you, he is a top-quality man; if you love him, congratulations, you’re doomed.

She was about to say something; as a best friend, she had the right to give a few warnings.

But Fu Tingzhou’s movements were quick. He shut the car door, got in, hit the gas pedal, and sped away.

All of Gu Zhiyi’s words were stuck in her throat.

Si Ruoli came out, linking arms with Gu Zhiyi, "It’s okay, don’t worry, I think that Mr. Fu is pretty decent towards Tang Xi. He parked his car downstairs three hours ago and had been waiting for Tang Xi all this time."

-

Fu Tingzhou originally planned to take Tang Xi straight home.

Then he heard the woman’s soft murmuring voice.

Fu Tingzhou glanced at the road ahead while slightly tilting his head back, "What, what did you say?"

"I want to drink... bubble tea."

The smell of alcohol filled the car.

Fu Tingzhou was sure, Tang Xi was drunk.

Drunk, yet she was thinking about drinking bubble tea.

"I want... fried chicken, barbecue."

Fu Tingzhou felt a bit helpless, "What else do you want to eat?"

"So much... I also want to eat Xu Ji’s egg yolk pastries."

At a green light, Fu Tingzhou turned the steering wheel, and after driving for about fifteen minutes, he stopped the car and locked the door.

After more than ten minutes, the man came back, carrying a cup of bubble tea and a portion of fried chicken.

And Tang Xi had already fallen asleep on the back seat.

Fu Tingzhou carried his purchases, placing them on the storage shelf.

The man thought he was crazy.

Her drunken dream talk, just randomly spoken, and yet he actually drove here and bought them.

The car traveled all the way, and Fu Tingzhou stopped again.

Xu Ji was closing late today because of a store celebration event. Usually, they closed at nine in the evening, but today because of the special event, they did a lot of pastries and hadn’t closed even at half-past ten.

The store was brightly lit.

About a dozen staff members busily attended to customers.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

Fu Tingzhou looked around, "Do you still have egg yolk pastries?"

"Oh I’m sorry, only the last box is left, this lady here reserved it."

Fu Tingzhou looked at the young woman beside him, hesitating for two seconds before speaking, "Could you please sell this box to me, I’ll pay double the price."

The young woman looking at Fu Tingzhou blushed.

"Ah, you like them? I’ll just give them to you."

The woman stuttered a bit, "Can... can I add your WeChat?"

Fu Tingzhou took out two banknotes from his wallet and handed them over, "Thank you."

The woman felt a bit disappointed watching Fu Tingzhou’s back, immediately took out her phone and snapped two photos and sent them to her best friends group, "Girls, let me tell you, today there was an event at Xu Ji, but that’s not the main point, the main point is I met an ultra-handsome guy, ah ah ah ah, too bad I didn’t get his contact information."

Tang Xi woke up the next morning, and it was nearly noon when she did.

Tangtang saw her awake and quickly called out to her.

Tang Xi took a quick shower, wrapped in a bathrobe, and came to the living room.

Fu Tingzhou was not around, Tangtang said that Fu Tingzhou had left around eight in the morning.

Tang Xi sat on the sofa, watched cartoons with her daughter for a while.

She got a bit hungry and took out her phone to order some food.

At this moment, Tangtang handed her a box of egg yolk pastries, "Mommy, try this."

Then the girl took out a bubble tea, a dozen skewers of barbecue, and a portion of fried chicken from the fridge.

Tang Xi was a bit stunned, "Tangtang, did you use mommy’s phone to order takeout?"

"Daddy bought them." Tangtang ate a piece of egg yolk pastry, squinting her eyes because it was so delicious, "Daddy carried you back last night and bought these for you. He said you wanted them, kept asking for them, wouldn’t leave without buying them, so he bought so much. You fell asleep and didn’t eat, and he didn’t eat them either, just put them in the fridge. Daddy said the bubble tea can’t be drunk after a night but everything else is still good to eat."

Tang Xi was even more baffled.

Whenever she drank too much, she would temporarily black out.

At this moment, she vaguely remembered being helped downstairs by Gu Zhiyi last night.

What exactly happened?

She put the fried chicken and skewers in the microwave and heated them for half a minute.

"Tangtang, what time did mom come home last night?"

Tang Xi shared a bedroom with her daughter, so Tangtang was woken up at that time, opened her eyes, went to the bathroom and then came back to continue sleeping. It seemed to be already 11 o’clock by then.

Tang Xi took a bite of fried chicken.

It tasted really good.

She looked at the milk tea on the table, inserted the straw, perhaps because it was kept in a preservation layer, the taste hadn’t changed much. She took a couple of sips, finding it hard to imagine that scene, Fu Tingzhou holding her and then buying lots of food like this.

And it was those junk foods he looked down upon the most.

She had been feverish these few days, and Fu Tingzhou was surprisingly steady in his mood, he even stayed by her side all night.

The amnesiac Fu Tingzhou, compared to before, was much easier to get along with.

Tang Xi touched her daughter’s head, "Tangtang, we’ll be going back to North City in a few days, have you said goodbye to your friends? Do you want to invite them for a meal together?"

"We said our goodbyes at school." Tangtang was slightly sad, but brightened up at the thought of seeing her grandmother. She hugged Tang Xi’s hand and gently shook it, her eyes filled with anticipation, "Can I really see grandma? Tangtang has grown up, would grandma recognize me?"

Tang Jingyun only took care of Tangtang when she was one year old.

Latterly, she had only seen Tang Jingyun’s pictures in Tang Xi’s phone albums.

But Tangtang really liked her grandmother and always looked forward to seeing her.

"And uncle, is uncle in North City too? Then I want to hurry back to North City."

Tang Xi didn’t know whether this return to North City would be a blessing or a curse.

Fu Tingzhou came back around nine o’clock that night, just when Tang Xi had finished bathing Tangtang, and was drying the girl’s hair.

The girl’s hair was soft with a faint sweet fragrance, and it dried quickly. She had Tangtang go to bed first. Then she took a shower herself, suddenly hearing a noise outside, followed by Tangtang running out, yelling towards the bedroom, "Mommy, daddy seems to have fallen."

Tang Xi hastily wrapped herself in a bathrobe, not even bothering to dry her hair, and rushed out.

Fu Tingzhou was lying on the ground, Tangtang cried and clutched Fu Tingzhou’s clothes trying to help him up, looking at Tang Xi and hurriedly shouting, "Mommy, what’s wrong with daddy?"

Tang Xi was also startled by the sudden event, quickly checked him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Fu Tingzhou had suddenly had a heart attack... "It’s okay, daddy’s fine, he just drank too much."

She comforted her daughter for a while, kissing Tangtang’s cheek, "Daddy’s fine, go back to sleep, daddy just drank too much and will wake up tomorrow."

Tang Xi somewhat struggled to support Fu Tingzhou towards his bedroom.

"You’re really heavy!"

She gritted her teeth, "Fu Tingzhou...can you open your eyes and walk by yourself!"

Finally, at a tortoise pace, she wobbly helped him onto the bed.

As the man fell, he also pressed down on her.

Tang Xi felt breathless from being pressed, she instinctively twisted and struggled, slapping his back, "Hey, wake up, I can’t breathe."

Fu Tingzhou opened his eyes.

His eyes dark, swirling.

As if pulling her into them.

But Tang Xi knew, he was drunk now.

The smell of alcohol on him was frighteningly strong.

Meeting her gaze, Tang Xi held her breath.

They locked eyes for over ten seconds, Tang Xi pursed her lips, cautiously pushed him a bit. Just at that moment, she suddenly felt a hand tighten around her waist, their breaths mingling.

Her pupils slowly dilated, and the next second, Fu Tingzhou leaned down and kissed her, its warmth laden with alcohol and a cool sensation, intoxicating.

"Mm..." Tang Xi patted his back, but her hand was caught. Fu Tingzhou easily grabbed both her wrists above her head, and continued to tenderly trace her lips with his head down.

Tonight, he was exceptionally gentle.

-

The next morning, Tang Xi woke up in Fu Tingzhou’s arms.

She faced away from Fu Tingzhou, the man holding her.

Her spine pressed against his chest.

This was an extremely intimate and natural posture.

Two hearts slowly coming together.

His hands, just like that, wrapping around her waist.

After Tang Xi woke up, her face flushed red again and again.

She felt that the temperature on her face now was even hotter than when she had a fever.

She woke up, maintaining a rigid posture.

Because she knew she couldn’t temporarily escape Fu Tingzhou’s clasp now.

After about ten minutes, Fu Tingzhou woke up.

But he didn’t get up.

Tang Xi had thought, while Fu Tingzhou went to the bathroom, she would also return to her own room.

It wasn’t their first time together, and there was no need for any pretense.

Even if it wasn’t mutual desire.

The adult world isn’t just black and white.

The air still lingered with an ambiguous scent.

But Tang Xi waited for a while and didn’t see Fu Tingzhou get up to leave; instead, he held her even tighter, his cheek pressed against the back of her head. Tang Xi could almost feel his breath on the top of her hair, the even breathing probably meant he had fallen back asleep.

Sleep is contagious, after Tang Xi’s body stiffened for a while, she also closed her eyes.

The two of them slept till past ten in the morning.

They were woken by a series of knocks on the door.

"Daddy, mommy, I’m hungry!"
