After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 509 - 344:

"I know, Mom, when will you come back?"

"Very soon, Mom will be back very soon."

Tang Xi stayed in An City for two more days, found a caretaker for Tang Jingyun, and then flew back to North City overnight.

She had just returned home when she heard from yellow jade that Fu Tingzhou had taken his daughter out to eat. She immediately made a phone call to Fu Tingzhou while hailing a taxi.

"Fu Tingzhou, where are you now!"

Her tone was not very gentle, rather it was impatient.

After Fu Tingzhou gave the address, Tang Xi immediately asked the driver to rush there. Arriving at the restaurant and seeing only Fu Tingzhou and her daughter dining, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Tangtang ran over happily upon seeing her, "Mom, you’re back."

Tang Xi hugged her daughter, affectionately rubbing her soft cheeks.

She had barely changed her clothes. Fu Tingzhou could also see the dust-covered aura on her, and he invited her to sit beside him, but Tang Xi sat next to Tangtang.

Tang Xi noticed the setting for three on the table. She paused for a moment, her face turned pale as she glanced around and then looked at Fu Tingzhou, "Who else? Did you come to eat with Shu Mengshu? If you’re eating, just eat, who allowed you to bring my daughter along!"

Fu Tingzhou frowned, "What are you talking about."

Tangtang looked at her, "Mom, this is the meal Dad ordered for you ahead of time when he got your call. The waitress just brought it over."

Tang Xi’s tension slightly eased.

So that’s what it was.

Looking at the dinner inside the white porcelain plate, she pursed her lips, her gaze lowered, "Sorry, I was a bit impulsive."

Fu Tingzhou’s dark eyes were intently staring at Tang Xi. Her face clearly showed signs of panic, and her voice on the phone was rushed. Yet, he said nothing, did not ask, just looking at her pale face gently saying, "Let’s eat, you must be hungry too."

Tang Xi was indeed hungry, but she had no appetite.

She was full after just a few bites.

But Fu Tingzhou ordered her a serving of corn cream soup anyway. Tang Xi didn’t drink it, saying she didn’t like anything too sweet. But Fu Tingzhou said, "You haven’t even tried it, how do you know it’s not good."

"I’m full, even if it’s good, I don’t want to drink it." She tightly held her daughter’s hand.

She didn’t want to argue with Fu Tingzhou in front of her daughter, but she couldn’t stop imagining Shu Mengshu getting close to her daughter, and the image of Fu Tingzhou and Shu Mengshu playing with her daughter in the amusement park. It was unbearable to think about.

So she said, "Let’s take it to go."

Fu Tingzhou drove home. Tang Xi had rushed over after getting off the airplane and she lay down in the backseat slowly closing her eyes.

By the time they arrived at Longshan Villa, Tang Xi had already fallen asleep.

Tangtang wanted to wake her, but Fu Tingzhou gestured for silence, and the girl immediately nodded. Fu Tingzhou bent down to carry Tang Xi, carried her all the way back to the bedroom, and placed her on the bed, Tangtang also followed to help Fu Tingzhou change Tang Xi’s clothes and shoes.

Fu Tingzhou crouched down, "Tangtang, Daddy asked aunty Huang to help you take a bath and go to bed early."

"Daddy, when Mom called me, she said she doesn’t like that aunty. So daddy, can we not play with that aunty in the future?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

Fu Tingzhou slightly raised his eyebrows, he realized Tang Xi’s displeasure was because of Shu Mengshu, he touched the girl’s face, "Alright, we won’t play with that aunty in the future."

Yellow jade took Tangtang away.

Fu Tingzhou also returned to the bedroom and took a shower. Close to midnight, he went to Tang Xi’s bedroom. Tang Xi turned over, and the thin blanket covering her fell to the floor. Fu Tingzhou walked over and covered her again.

He sat by the bed for a while, in the dim light, looking at Tang Xi’s sleeping face.

Fu Tingzhou closed his eyes.

These past few days, he recalled some matters.

Some fragmented memories related to Tang Xi.

At that time, he was supposed to be with Tang Xi, in an unfamiliar environment, not at Longshan Villa, but inside a private apartment. He angrily questioned her why she liked Xu Yiran.

Then the scene changed.

He told her to get an abortion.

Afterward, she was crying, begging him to let her go.

Altogether, in these fragmented memories, he seemed like a scumbag; no wonder the first time this woman saw him in North City, she wanted to run, and no wonder, every time she met him, she faced him with a resistant emotion.

His past self, to actually be like this...

No wonder she said that in the past, the relationship between him and her was not good.

"Tangtang..."

"Tangtang..."

The woman’s murmuring voice came through.

With a slight struggle of pain.

Fu Tingzhou walked over and bent down, seeing in the dim light Tang Xi’s tightly furrowed brow; she was having a nightmare.

Her mouth kept calling Tangtang’s name.

Fu Tingzhou gently said, "Tang Xi, Tang Xi, wake up."

The woman grabbed his hand, clutching it tightly.

"Tangtang, don’t leave mom."

Fu Tingzhou raised his hand, gently patted her on the back to soothe her emotions, slowly Tang Xi fell deeper into sleep.

But she still clung tightly to his hand.

Fu Tingzhou did not sleep that night.

He knew his way of doing things was somewhat domineering, thinking back to that fleeting memory of making her abort the child, yet she secretly chose to give birth, and now, because of his coercion, she chose to stay by his side.

He indeed was no good.

But he did not want to let go.

He wanted to be with his daughter, and also...

At this moment, it was already bright outside the window, and everything in the bedroom was no longer dim.

Fu Tingzhou stared at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed.

And also, wanted to keep her.

-

From then on, Tang Xi was very strict with her daughter, she required yellow jade to send her messages every day after picking up Tangtang from school.

After she finished her design drafts, she even reduced the time she went out for dinner with colleagues in the evening.

She stayed by her daughter’s side when she came home.

When Fu Tingzhou wanted to take his daughter out for dinner in the evening, Tang Xi insisted on joining them, and she told Fu Tingzhou in advance that she would take her daughter to An City next week to visit her relatives, much to Tang Xi’s surprise, Fu Tingzhou wanted to return to An City with her.
