After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 62 - 61 He’s Here
62: Chapter 61: He’s Here
62 -61: He’s Here
The man suppressed his fury, looking at the woman’s fair and serene profile.
He recalled the afternoon at the Cloud Restaurant, how this woman had calmly and collectedly saved a girl’s life.
Fu Tingzhou was somewhat unable to figure her out.
She was clearly greedy, vain, and selfish, always thinking of how to seduce wealthy men, yet sometimes she gave him a sense of icy, stubborn independence.
Tang Xi had already pushed open the door, holding the man’s hand as they walked in.
Qin Jianlan was naturally very pleased to see them.
She immediately asked Aunt Rong to cut some fruit.
Her health was recovering well now; she could slowly walk a few steps with a cane out of bed.
Tang Xi visited almost daily to chat with her and accompanied her in physical rehabilitation.
Tang Xi went to the kitchen to help Aunt Rong wash the fruits.
In the sickroom, Qin Jiulan looked at her son, “Ah Zhou, you’re busy with work, but you should also spend more time with Xiao Xi, take her shopping, and buy some clothes.
She is a modest and gentle person, not liking too lavish clothes, but as a husband, you should care more for her.”
She could see that Tang Xi’s clothes were worn out.
Apart from the white lab coat, Tang Xi’s usual attire was very simple and plain.
“Yes, I understand,” Fu Tingzhou said, “It’s my fault, I’ve overlooked these.”
Qin Jianlan nodded, not wishing to press her son too hard.
She knew her son well, convinced that if he fully understood Tang Xi, he would definitely grow fond of her.
She patted Fu Tingzhou’s arm, “Tomorrow is Saturday, take Xiao Xi out shopping, watch a movie, do things couples do, have some time for just the two of you.”
As they were talking.
Tang Xi carried a plate of sliced oranges over, overhearing Qin Jianlan’s words, her eyelashes fluttered, “Mom, Zhou is busy tomorrow, and I also need to come to the hospital…”
“Tomorrow is the weekend, Xiao Xi, you always make excuses for Ah Zhou…” Qin Jianlan was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Tang Xi, whom she had watched grow up and whose character and morals she understood.
Such a woman was fit to stand by her son’s side.
Fu Tingzhou spoke in a gentle tone, “Listen to mom, tomorrow I’ll take you out.”
Although Tang Xi knew they were just pretending to be a loving couple in front of Qin Jianlan, each time she saw the gentleness in his eyes and heard his gentle voice, she would freeze for a couple of seconds.
Such gentleness would never belong to her.
She smiled, “Alright.”
The two stayed in Qin Jianlan’s room for about half an hour.
It was time for Qin Jianlan to rest, so Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou left.
Upon stepping out of the sickroom, the man let go of her hand.
Tang Xi’s fingers remained in the position of holding his hand, stiffening for a few seconds before slowly letting go.
She stood still and looked up at his tall silhouette, about to disappear from her sight.
The woman walked very slowly.
Then she heard the man’s voice not far away, “What are you dawdling for, hurry up!”
“Ah…” Tang Xi looked at him – he had actually stopped.
Was he waiting for her?
She hurried over.
She was somewhat out of breath as she walked with him into the elevator.
Exiting the elevator, they were in the underground parking garage.
Fu Tingzhou opened the car door and got in, giving her a glance. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Tang Xi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
The man was concise, “Address.”
“Ah, me?” Was he asking where she lived?
To take her home?
Tang Xi pursed her lips slightly, looking at his side profile.
“Hmph, besides you, is there a second person here?” Fu Tingzhou glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
“Xingfu Road, number 19.” Tang Xi gave him the address near her home’s subway station.
The man furrowed his brows, seemingly unfamiliar with the place.
He turned on the GPS, and after driving around in circles for about an hour, the car finally entered a narrow alley.
Fu Tingzhou stepped out of the car and looked at the small, dilapidated tube houses in front of him.
Above his head was a dense mass of electrical wires, and the air carried the musty scent of moldy soil.
The comings and goings of the residents here were mixed.
He looked at Tang Xi, “Do you live here?”
Tang Xi got out of the car, gripping her bag tightly, “Yes, I live here.”
The woman’s face showed little emotion, her expression indifferent, as she looked down, “Thank you, Mr.
Fu, for bringing me back.” After saying that, she turned and walked into one of the units.
Fu Tingzhou watched her disappearing figure, his brows furrowed.
He surveyed the area, his frown deepening the more he looked.
“Hey, handsome, are you alone?”
Accompanied by a voice, a voluptuous woman dressed in a red bodycon dress approached, wearing heavy makeup, clearly ready to entertain clients at any moment.
She looked at the man’s face, her eyes gleaming, not expecting to meet such a handsome man.
Moreover, one so wealthy.
This car must be worth tens of millions, and Tang Xi actually got out of it…
Thinking this, she felt a twinge of jealousy.
Living here in such poverty, yet managing to catch a wealthy, and such a handsome man.
“Handsome, I’m very cheap, and skilled too.
For such a handsome man like you, I can even do it for free.”
Saying so, she slowly reached out her hand.
Before her hand could touch the man’s sleeve, Fu Tingzhou looked at her with disgust, “Scram—”
“Hey handsome, don’t be so fierce, huh?
I’m much better than that Ms.
Tang, why don’t you consider me instead?”
Fu Tingzhou narrowed his black eyes, “What did you say?”
“Hmph, just captivated by that Ms.
Tang, huh?
I don’t know what tricks that woman has to hook such a handsome man like you.” Watching Fu Tingzhou’s expression, the gaudy woman laughed loudly, “You don’t think she’s some pure little lady, do you?
Then you’re mistaken; who knows how many men she’s been with…”
Fu Tingzhou clenched his teeth fiercely, “Tang Xi!”
He walked toward the unit, the veins on his forehead bulging with unrestrainable anger.
–
Tang Xi reached the door, suddenly hearing a rustling sound, she turned alertly to see the door across open, a middle-aged man standing at the doorway.
“Ms.
Tang, right?
Sorry if I scared you…” The man stepped out, his gaze greedily fixed on Tang Xi’s beautiful face, “We’re neighbors, we haven’t met much…
It’s unsafe for a girl like you living here alone, we’re neighbors after distant relatives, if there’s anything, you can tell me.”
As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards Tang Xi’s arm…
The soft touch under his fingers made the man’s eyes shine, she was truly a fine piece…
“What are you doing?” Tang Xi stepped back defensively, trying to open the door, but the old lock wouldn’t budge.
She leaned her back against the door, pulling out her mobile phone.
She yelled at the man to calm herself down, “If you continue like this, I will call the police.”
“Me like this, huh?
Pretending to be pure, a whore like you, coming out to sell yourself, I’ll pay and that’s it.” Saying this, he lunged towards Tang Xi, grabbing her wrist and pinning her against the door.
The woman screamed.
“Ah—”
Holding her phone, she swung it forcefully forward like a brick, hitting him in the eye, he cursed angrily and grabbed her hair, slamming her head against the door.
Tang Xi was immediately struck by a wave of dizziness.
She could no longer stand steadily.
At that moment, an external force pulled the middle-aged man away, he cursed loudly, then suddenly felt a pain in his face as he was punched.
Tang Xi shook her head, her vision clearing.
She looked at a familiar and tall figure.
