After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 520 - 351_2

The movie theater was dimly lit, with only the light from the film casting a glow.

It was a foreign art house film that was playing.

As Tang Xi walked by, Fu Tingzhou grabbed her hand gently and pulled, causing her to fall towards him; she ended up sitting on the man’s lap.

She twisted slightly, then dared not move again, her face beginning to flush.

Fu Tingzhou wrapped his arms around her, his voice hoarse but firm as he said, "Watch the movie, don’t move."

Tang Xi sat on his lap with him embracing her, his warm breath landing on the back of her neck as he spoke, and instinctively, she shrank her head back.

At that moment in the film, the male and female leads were kissing passionately inside a car on a rainy night.

Watching it, Tang Xi’s heartbeat steadily picked up pace, and then a warm sensation spread from the back of her neck; she shivered as his lips, the man’s lips, tenderly kissed her nape.

Tang Xi closed her eyes, her body no longer stiff.

Perhaps it was because she had drunk a little alcohol, catalyzed by the spirits.

Or perhaps it was because of the film.

Instinctively, she turned and wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, their lips lightly touching, barely tasting, tender yet passionate. Fu Tingzhou slowly reclined the massage chair, and they deepened the kiss.

Just then, a cell phone ringtone jarringly sounded.

It was Fu Tingzhou’s phone.

He answered a call, then left with a frown. In that instant, Tang Xi also saw the caller ID on the phone, Shu Mengshu.

She sat somewhat powerlessly on the massage chair.

The movie wasn’t over yet.

The main characters had quarreled, the male lead left the female lead, who was left alone to guard their ranch.

And after the male lead left, he never returned.

Tang Xi quietly watched the film to the end by herself.

Until the story’s final second of the ending, the male lead never showed up, and the female lead never remarried, waiting over twenty years until she received a phone call. It was from the male lead’s son, stating his father was dying and wanted to see her one last time.

The female lead hung up the call.

She put on the long dress she wore when they first met and boarded a train.

When she reached the hospital, the male lead was on the brink of death, looking only about forty years old yet whittled down to skin and bones by his illness, suffering immensely.

He had struggled to hang on to his frail body, waiting for her to come.

And now, she had arrived.

She was still so beautiful.

Just like when she was young, wearing that light pink long dress.

The male lead didn’t close his eyes, but he had already taken his last breath.

The female lead slowly approached, reached out, and her palm swept over the male lead’s eyes, prompting him to finally close them.

During the funeral, the male lead’s son told the female lead.

[I was adopted by dad; he never got married.]

At this moment, the story came to an end.

Tang Xi cried.

In the dark cinema, she reached up to touch her face, finding her tears cold.

Unsure if she was moved to sadness by the story of the film, or because that call had made the man hurry away.

Tang Xi stayed in the basement theater for a very long time, until yellow jade knocked on the door and came in to persuade her to rest.

Fu Tingzhou rushed to the hospital.

Shu Mengshu was receiving treatment, with Shu Yiming standing at the door. He glanced at Fu Tingzhou, knowing his sister had asked him to come, but Shu Yiming’s expression was not good. He had already told his sister to avoid involvement with Fu Tingzhou as much as possible. Wasn’t the lesson from four years ago enough!

"How is she."

Hearing Fu Tingzhou’s indifferent question, Shu Yiming’s thin lips tightened, "President Fu, Mengshu is my sister. I know she had some grievances with you in the past, but that’s all in the past now."

"Half an hour ago, Shu Mengshu called me, claiming she was kidnapped, but that she has something very important, something related to my past memories. She asked me to come quickly. I don’t want to see her, but if it’s my belongings, I still need to get them back."

Shu Yiming’s expression darkened.

Once again, Shu Mengshu had taken the initiative to provoke Fu Tingzhou!

It seemed that the lesson from four years ago really was not enough!

He had always been enduring Shu Mengshu, only because his grandfather said she was his only sister. He had always looked forward to finding his aunt and his sister’s whereabouts, but when he finally did, he was disappointed. Why was his own sister so greedy, causing trouble, and arrogant? He kept reminding himself that she was his only beloved sister, and he shouldn’t worry his grandfather.

But at this moment, Shu Yiming left with a cold expression.

Leaving his assistant to stay behind.

Shu Mengshu had been kidnapped because the Shu Family had taken over several small companies, one of the bosses hired people to kidnap Shu Mengshu, breaking one of her legs, and she was now being treated.

The surgery room doors swung open, and the doctors and nurses wheeled out the gurney.

Shu Mengshu had been rescued and was currently looking weak, but the moment she saw Fu Tingzhou, her eyes reddened with emotion, "Brother Tingzhou, I knew you would come to see me."

Fu Tingzhou asked coldly, "You said you had something related to my memories, where is it?"

"I want you to promise me three things."

Upon hearing this, Fu Tingzhou turned to leave.

No one could threaten him. Three things—he scoffed.

Absurd.

Shu Mengshu didn’t expect Fu Tingzhou to still have the same temperament, impossible to manipulate. She quickly called out, "I’ll tell you!"

Fu Tingzhou slowly turned around and looked at her intently.

Shu Mengshu bit her thin lips, looking frail and somewhat coquettish, but in Fu Tingzhou’s eyes, she was completely insignificant.

"How about this, you stay with me in the hospital for one night, and I’ll give you what you want in the morning. Aren’t you always wanting to know why you lost your memories? I can tell you the answer."
