《Today is Suitable for Sweetness》 CH 1 Synopsis : Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Ling Tian was raised in a privileged environment. However, at the age of twenty-one, the Ling family went bankrupt and she fell from grace. Adding to her misfortune, Ling Tian was involved in a car accident on the same night. When she woke up in the hospital, she looked at the handsome man standing by the window and pointed to her head, acting spoiled: ¡°Honey, it hurts here. Can you give me a kiss to make it better?¡± Fu Chenyan was silent for two seconds, walked closer to her, and leaned down to give her a gentle kiss on her forehead, asking in a low voice, ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± After losing her memory in the car accident, Ling Tian mistakenly believes that the ruthless and powerful leader of the Fu Group is her dear husband. In her mind, Fu Chenyan is hopelessly in love with her and does everything she asks. He never disagrees with her, and always follows her lead. Fu Chenyan brings Ling Tian back home and spoils her to no end. Ling Tian continues to live a life of luxury, even more luxurious than before the Ling family went bankrupt, with a husband who loves her dearly. However, three months later, Ling Tian suddenly wakes up from this absurd dream and feels embarrassed to face the man she has taken advantage of. She feels so awkward that she wants to flee the earth immediately. ¡°Do you want to run away?¡± The man smiles and slowly takes off his tie, ¡°Is it because I can¡¯t afford to keep you anymore, or because I can¡¯t satisfy you?¡± #The spoiled life of the Pea Princess CH 2 Chapter 2: Husband Ling Tian didn¡¯t interrupt Fu Yumo and listened to him quietly as he finished his long speech. ¡°Bitter melons are not sweet,¡± she said. Seeing that she was not moved, Fu Yumo felt a hint of frustration. He thought that some of the things he just said would have made another woman moved to tears with emotion. ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Fu Yumo looked at her. ¡°I like sweet melons and bitter melons. Whatever type of melon you are, I will like that taste.¡± Ling Tian: ¡°¡­¡± Fu Yumo: ¡°Do you know why I asked to meet you at this coffee shop?¡± Remembering the name of the coffee shop was UNIQUE, Ling Tian furrowed her brows slightly but said nothing. Fu Yumo: ¡°Unique. Ling Tian, to me, you are unique.¡± Special, one of a kind. Ling Tian: ¡°¡­¡± Fu Yumo smiled, his lips curling up, ¡°Of course, you could also understand it as you being my preference, and also an exception.¡± Not sure if it was because he was too slick or because the air conditioning in the coffee shop was too strong, Ling Tian shuddered slightly. Rubbing the goosebumps on her arms, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t need that. Can you please give your preference and exception to those who like you? Please, I¡¯m begging you.¡± She repeatedly rejected him, and Fu Yumo couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He sneered, ¡°Fine.¡± Ling Tian felt a glimmer of hope, ¡°Really?¡± Fu Yumo lifted his chin towards the exit and said, ¡°You can go now and see if anyone else would take over the mess that Zhongsen has, besides me.¡± Ling Tian¡¯s heart sank again as he refused to let go of the Ling family. ¡°Ling Tian, you have never experienced hardship, that¡¯s why you don¡¯t take my words seriously,¡± said Fu Yumo as he tapped his finger lightly on the desk. ¡°Even if you can endure hardships, can you tolerate being chased by creditors every day? Can you bear to see your parents bowing and scraping before their creditors, enduring insults and humiliations without any dignity?¡± Ling Tian shook her head unconsciously. She could endure anything, but Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan were her soft spots. ¡°Ling Tian, be Mrs. Fu,¡± Fu Yumo softened his tone, tempting her, ¡°you can continue to live like a princess in the future, enjoying a life of luxury, while Zhongsen thrives, and I can also help your father solve his huge debt.¡± He described a beautiful future, but Ling Tian only felt sick and powerless. It was clear that he had forced the Ling family into the abyss, and now he acted like a savior, pulling them out of it, making her feel grateful to him. Can someone who truly loves another person do such a thing? Obviously not. Ling Tian felt physically uncomfortable and nauseous. She leaned on the table and stood up, ¡°Sorry, I need to go to the restroom.¡± In the restroom, Ling Tian stood in front of the sink and touched herself in the mirror. She had a pretty face and a good personality. Before Zhongsen¡¯s bankruptcy, she was a rich man¡¯s daughter, and naturally had many suitors. However, her love had not yet arrived. At this age, she still held onto romantic fantasies, but compared to Zhongsen and her beloved parents, what was the point of love that may or may not come at some unknown time? Ling Tian returned from the restroom, and Fu Yumo looked at his watch and reminded her, ¡°Ling Tian, my time is precious. Although I¡¯m willing to spend it on you, it doesn¡¯t mean you should waste it.¡± ¡°Mr. Fu, I came here tonight with sincerity to solve the problem, but¡­¡± Ling Tian paused and added a request to her tone, ¡°Could you give me a little more time?¡± For the girl he likes, Fu Yumo naturally wants to show more tolerance and patience. Besides, even if he wanted to, Ling Tian couldn¡¯t overturn his Five Fingers Mountain1 ¡°Îåָɽ¡± (W¨³ zh¨« sh¨¡n / Five Fingers Mountain) is a reference to a famous Chinese mythology where the Monkey King is trapped under the mountain, and no one can lift it except for the Buddha. Here, it means that Ling Tian cannot overcome Fu Yumo¡¯s power and influence.. ¡°Alright, come find me in a week. I believe you will have figured things out by then.¡± After leaving the coffee shop, Ling Tian aimlessly walked through the busy streets, drifting through the crowds and stopping at a crosswalk to wait for the red light. Taking out her phone, she found that Si Qin had sent her a voice message. Si Qin¡¯s father had an affair and was caught in bed by Si Qin¡¯s mother, causing chaos in their family. Ling Tian didn¡¯t want to add to her best friend¡¯s troubles and hadn¡¯t told her about the Ling family¡¯s bankruptcy. ¡°Quick, look at the big screen on that square, the guy in the center is so handsome!¡± ¡°That seems to be Fu Chenyan, the President of the Fu Group!¡± ¡°Ah! He is Fu Chenyan, my goodness, he is really handsome, so handsome that it¡¯s hard to resist. I declare that he is my husband now!¡± ¡°There are people around you, put on some pants quickly!¡± . . . . . Ling Tian was about to open a message from Si Qin when the excited voices of two girls next to her caught her attention. She subconsciously looked up and gazed at the LED screen on the opposite square. The bustling traffic flowed in front of her, and the noisy surroundings faded away as she saw the light and shadow reflected in her clear eyes from the large screen. Her world seemed to pause for a moment, becoming suddenly quiet. The opposite square was a newly built luxury shopping center belonging to the Fu Group that opened today. The big screen displayed highlights from the opening ceremony. As the President of the group, Fu Chenyan could not miss attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for his own mall. He had a slender figure and perfect proportions, wearing a formal dark suit that was tailored to perfection. The high-end customization accentuated his neat and tall appearance, exuding a dignified and restrained aura among the crowd. The next shot zoomed in closer, revealing his three-dimensional features and sharp brows. His narrow eyes scanned the people with an icy glint, emitting a powerful aura of a superior being. Suddenly, he turned his gaze towards the camera, swept past it with no warmth or emotion. However, Ling Tian¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and then accelerated uncontrollably. Thump, thump¡­ Ling Tian was momentarily confused by her unusual reaction. She anxiously pressed her chest and felt a tremble, as a word suddenly jumped into her mind Love at first sight. After all, he was in the upper circles of Beijing, and Ling Tian had heard a lot about Fu Chenyan over the past two years. Fu Chenyan is the youngest President of the Fu Group, aged twenty-eight, unmarried, and not interested in women. He is the illegitimate son of Fu Baiyuan, whose eldest son died young. When Fu Chenyan was twelve years old, he was brought back to the wealthy family, recognized as a member of the family, and groomed as the heir of the Fu Group. At the age of fifteen, Fu Chenyan went abroad and stayed there until he graduated from a prestigious foreign university with dual degrees in management and architecture. At the age of twenty-one, he founded a technology company that successfully went public on the NASDAQ2 NASDAQ, also known as the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations, is an American stock exchange that primarily lists technology companies and other high-growth industries. Some of the largest technology companies in the world, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, are listed on NASDAQ. . Two years ago, he returned to China to take over the Fu Group, and in just two years, he doubled the company¡¯s market value, making him a hot commodity in the business world. On the big screen in the square, the segment featuring Fu Chenyan appeared for only a short ten seconds before quickly cutting to other event scenes, leaving Ling Tian feeling empty. His image repeatedly appeared in her mind, causing her to indulge in some romantic fantasies. If the person pursuing her was Fu Chenyan, it would be wonderful. All her troubles would be solved. Why is it that all of them belong to the Fu family? Fu Yumo made her disgusted, but Fu Chenyan made her heart race. Ling Tian heard someone urging her from behind, thinking that the traffic light had already turned green. She took her gaze off the big screen and walked forward absent-mindedly until she was caught in the traffic before she snapped back to reality. The bright headlights shone into her pupils, accompanied by the screeching of brakes. Ling Tian felt a lightness in her body as she was hit by a black car and thrown into the air. The Maybach came to a stop and the driver and the passenger quickly got out to check on her. With closed eyes and disheveled hair, Ling Tian lay motionless on the ground. He walked up to the back window of the Maybach, which was rolled down a third. The man¡¯s handsome face was cut in half by the dim yellow light of the streetlamp, making his features more striking and profound. ¡°Mr. Fu, we hit a young girl,¡± Assistant Yu also reported to the man inside the car. ¡°Unfortunately, she¡¯s from the Ling family.¡± Ling Tian, whom he had met once and immediately remembered. Fu Chenyan raised his eyes slightly, his black pupils cold. ¡°The Ling family?¡± This surname is relatively rare in the capital city. The Ling family was once prominent, but their power has declined, and they have been targeted by Fu Yumo. Perhaps their luck is running out. Assistant Yu also nodded and said, ¡°Yes, her name is Ling Tian.¡± The name sounded familiar to Fu Chenyan. Ling Tian¡­ Wasn¡¯t she the little girl who made Fu Yumo so obsessed that he refused to marry into the Lin family for her, causing the old man to have a high blood pressure attack and be hospitalized? Originally, this had nothing to do with him, but by a twist of fate, he opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the poor little princess. A pair of shiny leather shoes quickly stopped beside Ling Tian, and a long gaze fell on her face. Fu Chenyan looked at Ling Tian, slightly frowned, as if recalling something from his memory. Suddenly, the old scar on his left ring finger, which had been there for ages, itched as if someone had lightly scratched it. In the distance, the siren of an ambulance could be faintly heard. Assistant Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but then widened her eyes in shock as she watched Fu Chenyan carefully lift the girl covered in dirt and mud into his arms. The normally woman-avoiding and germaphobic President was now kneeling down, cradling the unconscious girl in his arms. Ling Tian had not completely lost consciousness yet, and in her dazed state, she felt someone picking her up. A cool scent of cedar rushed into her nose, and she struggled to open her eyes, vaguely seeing the man¡¯s white shirt¡­ ¡°Tian Tian.¡± Ling Tian heard the man¡¯s gentle and mellow voice calling her. She struggled to lift her eyes and see who it was, but the next moment, darkness rushed in from all sides, and she completely lost consciousness. Ling Tian had a dream that she was standing in a snow-covered wilderness, looking for a man in confusion. She didn¡¯t know why she was looking for him, and had no clue. The scent of refreshing cedar filled her nose the whole time, but she couldn¡¯t find him after searching for a long time. Finally, she grew tired of searching, and the cedar scent gradually faded away, replaced by the smell of disinfectant. Ling Tian slowly opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling, like an endless snowfield in a dream. She turned her head slightly and saw the IV stand beside her, with a transparent medicine bottle hanging on it. The clear liquid was dripping down, flowing into her veins through the tube. Ling Tian closed her eyes again and her mind was blank for a while, until memories slowly began to flood in. After a few minutes, she sat up on the bed and looked around at her surroundings. She was in a VIP ward of a private hospital, a large suite with two bedrooms and two living rooms. The decoration was luxurious and there were large floor-to-ceiling windows where she could see the bustling night scene. At that moment, a man was standing by the window, facing away from her and looking outside. He had a good figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his white shirt was well-tailored without a single wrinkle. His legs were straight and long, wrapped in straight black pants. The man heard a sound behind him and turned around. Ling Tian met the man¡¯s deep black eyes and blinked lightly. Then she curved her eyebrows and eyes, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her lips, full of sweetness. ¡°Husband,¡± she called out to him in a delicate voice. CH 3 Chapter 3: Need a kiss to make it better Fu Chenyan clearly paused for a moment. Husband? Is she calling him? Fu Chenyan raised an eyebrow. ¡°What are you calling me?¡± he asked. ¡°Calling you husband,¡± Ling Tian said in a sweet and tender voice. Seeing that he was still standing by the French windows, she pouted and said, ¡°Husband, why are you so far away from me? Come over here quickly.¡± Fu Chenyan remained silent for two seconds before walking towards her. As she watched him approach, Ling Tian¡¯s eyes lit up with a sparkling light. Fu Chenyan walked to the side of her bed and looked down at her without saying a word. This face before him was truly beautiful, with full collagen and a freshness like a just-peeled lychee in early summer. Her lips had regained their blood color, and her almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear like the morning dew. Her gaze was pure and clear, open and honest. When it met his, there was no evasion, and the longing in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was almost palpable. Fu Chenyan withdrew his gaze calmly. Before Ling Tian woke up, the doctors had given her a comprehensive examination. Her body had several abrasions, but the wounds were not serious and had been treated. She had suffered a mild concussion from the impact to her head. Had she lost her memory? Did she mistake him for her husband? Did she already have someone she loved? ¡°Husband, my head hurts.¡± Ling Tian pointed to her own head and acted like a spoiled child towards Fu Chenyan, ¡°I need a kiss to make it better.¡± She realized that she had lost many details about Fu Chenyan from her memory. Whenever she tried to piece together those scattered fragments, her head would ache as if it were about to split open. However, she remembered clearly that Fu Chenyan loved her. He loved her to death. Whenever she said one thing, he never answered with two. Whenever she pointed to the east, he never went west. He promised to always cherish her and treat her well for the rest of his life. Ling Tian looked up at Fu Chenyan, waiting for his kiss. She obviously didn¡¯t think it was a presumptuous request. As their gazes met, an indescribable emotion flickered through Fu Chenyan¡¯s eyes. After a brief moment of silence, he leaned down slowly towards her. The woody scent emanating from him was refreshing, like a solitary and tall cedar in the wilderness. It flowed calmly towards her, wrapping around the tip of her nose, inexplicably making Ling Tian feel at ease. She closed her eyes, feeling a warm sensation on her forehead. Ling Tian slowly opened her eyes and met Fu Chenyan¡¯s gaze. His eyelids were narrow and thin, his pupils were black and serene, like a bottomless abyss that could suck her in. For some reason, Ling Tian¡¯s heart suddenly beat faster, as if something sweet was fermenting in her heart, and a hint of blush appeared on her cheeks. ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± Fu Chenyan asked in a low voice, his voice deep and mellow, like the beautiful melody of a cello. A faint dimple formed at the corner of Ling Tian¡¯s lips, she shook her head lightly and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± Fu Chenyan straightened up and suddenly, Ling Tian hugged him, her snow-white hands tightly wrapped around his waist, her eyes reddening, and her eyes quickly filled with mist. Fu Chenyan: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?¡± He reached out to press the call button on the bedside. Ling Tian stopped him and shook her head. ¡°I just suddenly felt a bit scared,¡± she took a deep breath and looked up at him, ¡°If that car had been a bit faster, I might have died on the spot, and never have seen you again.¡± If she had been unfortunately killed in the accident, Fu Chenyan would be devastated because of how much he loved her. Additionally, her parents wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand such a blow. Thanks to her good fortune. Her beautiful eyes were filled with mist, making her look helpless and eliciting a protective feeling from others. Fu Chenyan raised his hand and paused in mid-air for half a second before gently wiping away the tears in the corner of her eyes with his fingertip, and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, everything is fine now. Be sure to pay attention to safety in the future.¡± ¡°I will,¡± Ling Tian nodded earnestly, ¡°I won¡¯t look down at my phone while crossing the street again.¡± In her current memory, she was hit by a car because she was busy replying to a WeChat message from Si Qin and didn¡¯t pay attention to the road when crossing. ¡°Oh, by the way, husband, I forgot to tell you,¡± Ling Tian blinked lightly and blushed slightly, ¡°you looked very handsome at the opening ceremony of Suhe Mall today.¡± Fu Chenyan: ¡°Hmm?¡± Ling Tian smiled, her eyes and eyebrows curved: ¡°I secretly went to the venue to see you, but you didn¡¯t notice me.¡± Fu Chenyan: ¡°You were at the venue?¡± Ling Tian nodded: ¡°Yeah.¡± She was sure that she was at the scene at that time, although she missed many details, but she remembered clearly what Fu Chenyan looked like standing among the crowd ¨C noble, calm, elegant, and upright, he was the most attractive focus of the whole audience. Fu Chenyan lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes falling into her sweet gaze, his lips curved imperceptibly. ¡°Buzz -¡± The phone placed on the coffee table vibrated. Ling Tian released her hands that were clinging to Fu Chenyan and whispered, ¡°Husband, you should answer the phone.¡± Fu Chenyan turned and walked to the coffee table. Just as he picked up the phone, someone pushed the door open. Tian Tian¡­¡± Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan rushed to the bed where Ling Tian was lying, ¡°Tian Tian, how are you?¡± ¡°Dad, Mom, you¡¯re here.¡± Song Shuwan immediately checked the injuries on Ling Tian¡¯s body. ¡°My baby, how could this happen? You scared us to death!¡± On the way to the hospital with Ling Tian, Fu Chenyan had already notified Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan. Upon hearing that their daughter had been in a car accident, Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan were thunderstruck and hurried to the hospital. Song Shuwan, who had always been graceful and elegant, even wore one shoe wrong when she rushed out. Ling Tian¡¯s skin is delicate and tender, even a slight scratch looks particularly worrying. Song Shuwan was heartbroken and couldn¡¯t stop crying. ¡°Tian Tian, does it hurt?¡± The Zhongsen Group just went bankrupt, and now their daughter has been in a car accident. It¡¯s really a string of misfortunes! However, just suffering from this minor injury can be considered fortunate in the midst of misfortune. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Ling Tian comforted her parent¡¯s emotions, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ah Yan will take good care of me.¡± ¡°Ah Yan?¡± Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan were stunned at the same time, following Ling Tian¡¯s gaze, they finally noticed the man with an extremely strong presence. A look of surprise crossed Ling Wensen¡¯s face: ¡°Mr. Fu?¡± Fu Chenyan hung up an unimportant phone call, nodded slightly, and briefly greeted the two: ¡°Chairman Ling, Madam Ling.¡± Ling Wensen asked, ¡°How come you¡¯re here?¡± Ling Tian felt strange, ¡°I had a car accident, shouldn¡¯t Ah Yan come?¡± This sense of entitlement made Song Shuwan feel strange too, ¡°Tian Tian, do you know this Mr. Fu?¡± Ling Tian said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Mom? He¡¯s my husband.¡± ¡°What husband?¡± Ling Wensen immediately noticed something was wrong with his daughter. ¡°Tian Tian, did you hit your head?¡± Song Shuwan¡¯s expression also changed. She reached out to touch Ling Tian¡¯s head and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the doctor? Did you get examined? What did the doctor say?¡± Ling Tian replied, ¡°Other than a minor injury, I¡¯m fine.¡± Song Shuwan tentatively asked, ¡°So what¡¯s your relationship with Mr. Fu?¡± Ling Tian blurted out, ¡°He¡¯s my husband!¡± Song Shuwan¡¯s vision went black, ¡°Tian Tian, did you¡­ lose your memory?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I haven¡¯t lost my memory,¡± Ling Tian was puzzled by her parents¡¯ reaction. ¡°I still remember you guys, and I remember everything else clearly too.¡± Ling Wensen said, ¡°You¡¯re only 21 years old and still in college. Where did you get a husband?¡± ¡°I have one,¡± Ling Tian looked at Fu Chenyan with a determined expression, ¡°Ah Yan is my husband.¡± Ling Wensen sighed, ¡°Tian Tian, let the doctor examine you first. After you¡¯re discharged from the hospital, we¡¯ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check your marriage status.¡± Hearing the mention of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ling Tian¡¯s mind momentarily stopped working. She inexplicably felt a panicked emotion, but soon she figured it out. ¡°I haven¡¯t registered with Ah Yan, but in my heart, he is my husband. I will never marry any other man in my life except for him.¡± Ling Tian looked at Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan, feeling very aggrieved. ¡°You¡¯ve always been against me being with Ah Yan, and even hid our household registration book, not allowing us to get married. Now you want to trick me into thinking I have amnesia, and that I have no relationship with Ah Yan, right?¡± Her current cognition was confused, with mixed memories, but she could still justify it herself by filling in the missing details in her memories and making the logic consistent. Fu Chenyan looked at Ling Tian, his eyebrows slightly raised. Song Shuwan felt like the sky was falling down. She thought Ling Tian¡¯s problem was not severe, but she didn¡¯t expect that she had injured her brain. Seeing his wife sway slightly, Ling Wensen quickly supported her with a serious expression. Ling Tian¡¯s car accident was notified to them by Assistant Yu, and Ling Wensen probably guessed why Fu Chenyan was here. This car accident was related to Fu Chenyan. Song Shuwan calmed down reluctantly and held her daughter¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Tian Tian, you really have no relationship with Mr. Fu. Let¡¯s call the doctor, otherwise it will cause trouble for Mr. Fu.¡± If she really had anything with Fu Chenyan, how could Fu Yumo dare to covet her? Ling Tian shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Ah Yan clearly likes me.¡± She looked at Fu Chenyan calmly and spoke softly, with a hint of coquetry in her voice, ¡°Husband, tell my parents.¡± Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan also looked at Fu Chenyan at the same time. Fu Chenyan was known to be not interested in women, and they were afraid that he would be annoyed by Ling Tian¡¯s clinginess. They were even more afraid that he would misunderstand that they were staging a play, and that the amnesia was just a trick to get close to him. The Ling family was already forced into the abyss by Fu Yumo, and they couldn¡¯t afford to offend the person in front of them. Fu Chenyan¡¯s eyebrows and eyes have always been cold and stern. At this moment, he looked at Ling Tian, but slightly curved his lips and said in a warm voice, ¡°I really do like Tian Tian.¡± It was a completely expected response, but Ling Tian¡¯s heart suddenly felt sweet, and a faint dimple appeared at the corner of her lips. However, Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan looked shocked: ¡°Mr. Fu, how could you accompany her in such nonsense??¡± ¡°It¡¯s not nonsense.¡± Fu Chenyan looked at Ling Wensen, ¡°Chairman Ling, perhaps we can talk next door.¡± Ling Wensen hesitated, exchanged a glance with Song Shuwan, and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± The VIP ward was equipped with a reception room. Assistant Yu also poured tea for the two sitting on the sofa and then retreated outside the door. In the midst of the tea mist, Ling Wensen spoke up, ¡°Mr. Fu, I¡¯m sorry to have troubled you. I will persuade my daughter to undergo treatment actively.¡± Fu Chenyan replied, ¡°I¡¯m the one who should apologize, Chairman Li¡ª¡± ¡°Don¡¯t.¡± Ling Wensen interrupted with a bitter smile. ¡°Mr. Fu, you should know that the Zhongsen Group has already gone bankrupt.¡± ¡°Mr. Ling,¡± Fu Chenyan readily changed his wording. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m the one who caused the car accident.¡± He took the responsibility upon himself. Ling Wensen sighed softly, ¡°No one wants this kind of thing to happen. I appreciate that you were able to bring Tian Tian to the hospital in time.¡± ¡°Ling Tian¡¯s current condition is not suitable for stimulation,¡± Fu Chenyan said. ¡°I will arrange for a comprehensive examination for her again. Mr. and Madam Ling, rest assured that no matter what the result is, I will take full responsibility.¡± Take full responsibility? Ling Wensen looked at Fu Chenyan in surprise and suspicion. Ling Tian¡¯s condition was not a simple injury that could be solved with money. She had cognitive disorder. Wasn¡¯t Fu Chenyan afraid that if Ling Tian couldn¡¯t recover, she would be attached to him for the rest of her life? Fu Chenyan sipped his tea leisurely and said, ¡°But there is one thing I want to confirm first.¡± Ling Wensen asked, ¡°What?¡± Fu Chenyan replied, ¡°Does Ling Tian have someone she likes?¡± Ling Wensen pondered for a moment and said, ¡°She does have many suitors, but she has never mentioned having a special liking for any of them in front of me.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Fu Chenyan said. ¡°Then could you please ask Madam Ling again? Sometimes a girl may confide her thoughts to her mother in secret.¡± Ling Wensen looked at him thoughtfully and nodded after a moment, ¡°Okay.¡± In the hospital room, the medicine in the IV bag dripped quietly. Song Shuwan put two pillows behind Ling Tian¡¯s waist to make her more comfortable and handed her a cup of warm water, ¡°Tian Tian, here, drink some water.¡± Ling Tian took the water and spoke softly, ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Song Shuwan sat by the bed, looking at her and suppressing her worries. She asked softly, ¡°Tian Tian, you said you¡¯re in a relationship with Fu Chenyan. Can you tell Mom how you two met?¡± A hint of confusion flickered in Ling Tian¡¯s eyes, but after two seconds, she smiled slightly. ¡°We met at the school¡¯s anniversary celebration. Do you remember that day?¡± Ling Tian was studying at Peking University, one of the top universities in China. ¡°I remember,¡± Song Shuwan nodded. Their daughter had a performance that day, and she and Wensen had both gone to watch it. ¡°Ah Yan donated a building to our school, and the school invited him to attend the anniversary celebration. When I went on stage, he was sitting in the VIP area below the stage. He fell in love with me at first sight and started pursuing me,¡± Ling Tian spoke fluently, her eyes and brows unable to hide the sweetness and shyness, showing that she was a girl in love. ¡°He really loves me. Even though his family didn¡¯t approve of us being together, he almost had a falling out with them. Grandpa Fu was so angry that he ended up in the hospital,¡± Ling Tian added. CH 4 Chapter 4: I¡¯ll take you home Upon hearing this, Song Shuwan couldn¡¯t help but pause for a moment, why does this plot feel a bit familiar? Wasn¡¯t it Fu Yumo who made Tian Tian and her family fall out and even made Old Master Fu so angry that he was hospitalized? Two seconds later, Song Shuwan seemed to understand something. Tian Tian didn¡¯t lose her memory, she just confused her memories and selectively attributed things that Fu Yumo had done to Fu Chenyan, thinking that Fu Chenyan loved her obsessively. And her and Ling Wensen¡¯s disapproval of her jumping into Fu Yumo¡¯s fire pit before has naturally turned into opposition to her being with Fu Chenyan. ¡°Mom, why are you and Dad not satisfied with Ah Yan? He¡¯s so excellent, handsome, and loves me so much,¡± Ling Tian felt it difficult to understand. With a gentle sigh, Song Shuwan reached out to tuck a strand of Ling Tian¡¯s hair behind her ear, and gently stroked her tender face, her eyes full of tenderness. If only she hadn¡¯t let her go out tonight, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. Song Shuwan was filled with regret and self-blame. Song Shuwan don¡¯t know if Tian Tian¡¯s condition can still improve, how much is the treatment cost? Now they are heavily in debt and really can¡¯t afford the money¡­ Seeing her mother remaining silent with her eyebrows tightly furrowed, Ling Tian placed the water glass aside and reached out to smooth Song Shuwan¡¯s eyebrows gently, speaking in a soft voice: ¡°Mom, don¡¯t frown.¡± ¡°I will be happy with Ah Yan.¡± There was a strong sense of certainty in her tone, a complete trust in Fu Chenyan, but Song Shuwan felt a pang of sadness. Tian Tian was the apple of her and Wensen¡¯s eyes, a rose nurtured in a greenhouse since childhood. Innocent and pure, she was not worldly-wise and deserved to be well taken care of and cherished. Song Shuwan didn¡¯t know which man would hold Tian Tian in the palm of his hand in the future, but she knew that man would not be Fu Chenyan. A former destitute illegitimate child who returned to the wealthy family by kneeling in the rain for three days and nights and enduring countless cold shoulders and humiliations from the Fu family, the man who stood at the peak of the Fu family¡¯s power at a young age would not be sincere. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Fu Chenyan and Ling Wensen returned to the ward accompanied by a doctor in a white coat. Seeing the doctor, Ling Tian felt a bit resistant for no reason. ¡°I don¡¯t want to do any more tests.¡± She looked at Fu Chenyan, unconsciously twisting the sheets with her fingertips, and a hint of nervousness appeared in her beautiful eyes. ¡°Ah Yan, I want to go home.¡± Fu Chenyan approached her, ¡°Let¡¯s cooperate with the doctor for one more examination first.¡± Ling Tian shook her head, ¡°My brain isn¡¯t really damaged, I haven¡¯t lost my memory, I remember everything.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Fu Chenyan gazed into her eyes, his voice lowered and more gentle. ¡°But you hit your head, and if we don¡¯t check it thoroughly, there is a high chance that there will be long-term consequences.¡± Ling Tian bit her lip lightly, still a bit unwilling. ¡°I want to go home.¡± Fu Chenyan bent down slightly, leaning closer to her, like coaxing a child with candy. ¡°We¡¯ll go home after the examination, okay?¡± The mature male voice was magnetic and low, and the sound of it made Ling Tian¡¯s ear feel tingly. Her cheeks grew warm, and she blinked obediently, nodding her head. Ling Tian sat in a wheelchair, being pushed into the examination room. She clung to Fu Chenyan tightly, wanting him to accompany her inside. The hospital had a rule that only one family member could accompany a patient into the examination room at most. With Fu Chenyan inside, Ling Tian¡¯s parents, Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan, could only wait outside. Ling Tian had always relied on Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan the most since she was little, but now she had given her dependence to a stranger. Both of her parents couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sour in their hearts. The two leaned against the wall and stared at the door of the examination room across from them. Recent events had made Song Shuwan extremely anxious and exhausted, ¡°Wensen, what should we do about Tian Tian¡¯s medical expenses?¡± Their assets had been frozen, and they couldn¡¯t come up with a single penny. Ling Wensen put his arm around his wife¡¯s shoulder and comforted her in a gentle voice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this. Fu Chenyan said he would be responsible for all the medical expenses.¡± Upon hearing this, Song Shuwan felt much more at ease and asked, ¡°What else did you guys talk about?¡± Ling Wensen said, ¡°He asked me to ask you if Tian Tian likes anyone.¡± Song Shuwan was surprised and suspicious, ¡°Why does he want to know that?¡± Ling Wensen replied, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, he probably has an interest in Tian Tian.¡± ¡°What?¡± Song Shuwan¡¯s face trembled. ¡°How could that be? Isn¡¯t this his first time meeting Tian Tian?¡± Ling Wensen said, ¡°Shuwan, did you notice that he has a lot of patience with Tian Tian?¡± This kind of patience isn¡¯t just the attitude of an ordinary perpetrator towards a victim. Moreover, given Fu Chenyan¡¯s status, he wouldn¡¯t need to personally deal with this kind of thing. Song Shuwan pondered for a moment and said, ¡°I thought he was just trying to coax Tian Tian by saying that he really likes her¡­¡± ¡°Wensen, what should we do?¡± In Jing City, the Fu family was a top-tier aristocratic family, and there were countless people trying to climb their way up to them. However, Song Shuwan only wished for Tian Tian to stay away from them as much as possible. She didn¡¯t believe that Fu Chenyan had genuine feelings for Tian Tian and was afraid that her daughter would end up getting hurt in the end. Wasn¡¯t it rumored that he had no interest in women? How could he suddenly become interested in Tian Tian? ¡°Compared to Fu Yumo,¡± Ling Wensen¡¯s voice was somewhat hoarse and bitter. ¡°At least in his private life, Fu Chenyan is very clean¡­¡± Fu Yumo had a heart full of malice towards Tian Tian and would use any means to harm her behind her back. They couldn¡¯t defend against him. Even if it wasn¡¯t Fu Yumo, the Ling family had lost power, and countless people would want to take advantage of Tian Tian. They were all powerful and influential figures, and how long could they protect her? Song Shuwan weakly closed her eyes. . . . . . After completing a series of tests, it was already late at night. Several stars were faintly visible, hanging quietly in the dark sky. According to the test results, there were no obstructions, bleeding, or infections in Ling Tian¡¯s brain. There are currently no effective medical treatments for memory confusion. The doctor suggested that Ling Tian rest more, increase her nutrition, and not be forcibly stimulated, as it may backfire. Just let it be, perhaps she will recover soon. This result made Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan feel like a heavy stone had fallen in their hearts. Just let it be, the most optimistic situation would be that Ling Tian would be normal again the next day. But what if¡­ The two of them glanced at Fu Chenyan unconsciously. Fu Chenyan didn¡¯t say anything. His expression was very indifferent, his black pupils were deep and bottomless, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking. The three of them returned to Ling Tian¡¯s ward from the doctor¡¯s office. Ling Tian didn¡¯t ask them about the results of the examination, only asked, ¡°Can we go home?¡± She didn¡¯t like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital and the cold feeling. Song Shuwan said, ¡°Tian Tian, the doctor recommends that you stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation.¡± Ling Tian responded disapprovingly, ¡°Observing at home is just as effective. If I don¡¯t feel well, I¡¯ll come back.¡± Finally, Ling Wensen gave in to his daughter¡¯s wishes and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go home now.¡± However, Ling Tian hesitated for a moment, and a slight blush spread across her fair face. She glanced at Fu Chenyan and whispered, ¡°I want to be with Ah Yan¡­¡± After experiencing the car accident, she felt that she loved Fu Chenyan even more and didn¡¯t want to be apart from him for a moment. Fu Chenyan raised his eyes and met Ling Tian¡¯s slightly shy gaze. He didn¡¯t take his eyes off her for a while, and there was a deep affectionate in his gaze. Ling Tian¡¯s heartbeat didn¡¯t listen again, and her cheeks started to blush. However, Song Shuwan was shocked and looked at her daughter in disbelief, ¡°Tian Tian, you¡­ want to go home with Mr. Fu?¡± Ling Tian has always been very attached to her home since she was young. When most of her friends went abroad to study, she chose to stay in her home country to study. She never stays out late when she goes out to play and always returns home before 10 pm to avoid worrying her loved ones. However, now she wants to go home with a stranger! Song Shuwan glanced at Fu Chenyan. Even if this man usually avoids women, can he really resist taking a bite when presented with such a fragrant and tender piece of meat? Ling Tian¡¯s cheeks turned even redder as she nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I want to go home with Ah Yan.¡± ¡°No, you can¡¯t!¡± ¡°No, you can¡¯t!¡± Both Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan spoke up at the same time, indicating that they both minded their precious daughter following someone else like this. Ling Tian frowned and asked, ¡°Why not?¡± She just wanted to be with the person she liked. Why couldn¡¯t they let her have her way? Song Shuwan : ¡°You¡¯re still young.¡± Ling Tian : ¡°I¡¯m 21 years old.¡± Song Shuwan : ¡°Anyway, you can¡¯t go.¡± At this moment, Fu Chenyan, who was standing nearby, spoke in a low voice, ¡°Madam Ling, the doctor has advised that she cannot handle any more stimulation right now. Therefore, I¡¯m afraid she cannot go back to your house with you.¡± Song Shuwan was momentarily startled, but quickly understood. Judging by Ling Tian¡¯s current state, it is obvious that the bankruptcy of the Ling family is no longer in her memory. She probably still thinks she is the princess of Zhongsen Group who can get whatever she wants¡­ If they bring her back to the Ling family tonight, she will have to face the fact of Ling family¡¯s bankruptcy again and be kicked out of that mansion with them tomorrow. This is a very stimulating situation. Ling Wensen also thought of this, and the couple fell silent at the same time. Zhongsen¡¯s bankruptcy has dealt a big blow to Ling Tian. Although she doesn¡¯t say it, the couple knows that her heart must be in a lot of pain and self-blame. It¡¯s better for her to forget about this now. Since the situation of Zhongsen started deteriorating, they have never seen those beautiful little stars in Ling Tian¡¯s eyes again. She is not happy. Fu Chenyan looked at Ling Tian and asked gently, ¡°Tian Tian, do you want to come home with me?¡± Ling Tian nodded, her round apricot eyes shining, ¡°Hmm, I don¡¯t want to be separated from you.¡± Fu Chenyan nodded and turned to look at Ling Wensen, ¡°Mr. Ling, the matter I asked you earlier?¡± Ling Wensen understood what he meant and looked at Song Shuwan next to him for confirmation with his eyes. Song Shuwan remained silent for two seconds and then shook her head, saying, ¡°Nothing.¡± Before the car accident, Ling Tian had not met anyone who could move her heart. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Ling Tian looked puzzled and couldn¡¯t understand what the three of them were talking about. No one answered her, but Fu Chenyan¡¯s eyes showed a faint smile. He gently held Ling Tian¡¯s hand with his warm and dry palm and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take you home.¡± TL/Note: From the previous chapter, I used ¡®Yu Ye¡¯ as the name for ¡®Assistant Yu¡¯. However, in the original text, the full name of Assistant Yu is not mentioned. The Pinyin of the original text is indeed Y¨² y¨§ (ÓÚÒ²). However, in this case, ¡°Ò²¡± is used as a title or honorific and might be translated as ¡°assistant¡± because it does not have a widely recognized meaning as a name. CH 5 Chapter 5: Goodnight kiss Outside the main entrance of the hospital¡¯s inpatient department, two luxury cars were parked quietly, a black Maybach and a white Rolls-Royce. The Rolls-Royce had been mortgaged to the bank during the struggling stage of the Zhongsen Group, tonight was Ling Wensen¡¯s last bit of dignity, and tomorrow the car would be repossessed by the bank. It was early May and the cool night breeze made Ling Tian feel chilly in her sleeveless, cinched waist long dress. Goosebumps appeared on her arms immediately upon being blown by the wind. Ling Wensen noticed and quickly took off his own jacket, ready to put it on his daughter, but a black suit jacket had already been put on her. The suit jacket draped over her shoulders with smooth lines, a sturdy fabric, a little heavy, carrying the warmth of a man¡¯s body temperature, and a faint woody cedar fragrance. Ling Tian looked up at Fu Chenyan, her eyes shimmering like water, and two small dimples appeared on the corners of her lips. Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan exchanged a glance and silently put on their coats. Ling Tian adjusted her suit jacket and turned to Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan, saying, ¡°Dad, Mom, you can go back now, don¡¯t worry about me.¡± The couple felt bitter in their hearts but were helpless. Worriedly, Song Shuwan hugged her daughter and said, ¡°Tian Tian, you go ahead and get on the car, Dad and Mom will follow and go back.¡± Ling Tian saw the reluctance in her mother¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll come home for dinner tomorrow night.¡± She was reluctant to part with Fu Chenyan and also reluctant to let her parents miss her. Song Shuwan was slightly stunned, she turned to look at her husband beside her. Ling Wensen touched Tian Tian¡¯s head and hesitated for two seconds before saying, ¡°Tian Tian, your mom and I have been busy lately and don¡¯t have time to be at home. We¡¯ll call you back home after we¡¯re not busy.¡± Tian Tian didn¡¯t think too much about it, ¡°Then you guys should also take care and rest.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Fu Chenyan opened the back door of the car and let Tian Tian get in. ¡°Mr. Ling, Madam Ling, Tian Tian and I will leave first. If you need anything, you can contact me for now.¡± When Tian Tian was hit by the car, her phone flew out of her hand and was crushed by a passing car, rendering it useless. They could only buy her a new phone tomorrow. Fu Chenyan walked around to the other side of the car and was about to get in when Ling Wensen suddenly called him back. ¡°Mr. FuÒ»¡± Fu Chenyan paused, placing his hand on the car door and looked up at Ling Wensen, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°Tian Tian is my precious daughter,¡± Ling Wensen glanced at his daughter inside the car, ¡°Please don¡¯tÒ»¡± He stopped, his expression solemn, unable to continue. The words ¡°mistreat¡± were stuck in his throat, and his heart was so heavy that it almost trembled. It was difficult to say. Fu Chenyan understood what he meant and nodded slightly, saying in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± After speaking, he bowed and got into the car, sitting next to Ling Tian. Ling Tian leaned against the car window and looked at her parents, ¡°Dad, Mom, we¡¯re leaving now. You should also go back and rest.¡± Song Shuwan instructed, ¡°Remember to call Mom when you get the new phone tomorrow.¡± Ling Tian replied, ¡°Okay.¡± The couple stood in place, watching the black Maybach disappear into the night. Song Shuwan¡¯s eyes were red, and Ling Wensen hugged her shoulder, remaining silent. The two stood in the wind for a long time until Ling Wensen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back, Shuwan.¡± They still had many things to deal with urgently tomorrow. Now that Ling Tian had left with Fu Chenyan, they could have asked Fu Chenyan for help to save the Ling family. However, if they made that request, they would be using Ling Tian to exchange for the Ling family¡¯s safety. Once that happened, Ling Tian and Fu Chenyan would no longer be on equal terms. If she woke up one day and wanted to leave him, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy. In the dense black of night, the black Maybach was speeding along the empty road, and the streetlights cast their glow through the windows, illuminating the sharply defined features of the man¡¯s handsome face. Leaning back in his seat, Fu Chenyan undid the top two buttons of his shirt to make himself more comfortable. His fingers were long and slender, with protruding veins on the back of his hand, and the movements of unbuttoning were so pleasing to the eye, carrying a kind of indescribable charisma. Unable to resist, Ling Tian stared at him, and Fu Chenyan glanced over, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking at my husband.¡± Ling Tian smiled, not hesitating to praise him, ¡°How can he be so handsome?¡± Fu Chenyan¡¯s bone structure was extremely superior, with high eyebrows, a straight nose, a clear jawline, and narrow eyes with a chilly and difficult-to-approach air. But this man loves her, giving her all the tenderness. Ling Tian¡¯s heart feels sweet, and she leans gently towards him. He is such a good man, but unfortunately, they haven¡¯t obtained the marriage certificate yet. Although she believes he won¡¯t run away, she still needs to find a way to get the household registration book as soon as possible, so that he can become her legitimate husband. Her head is resting on Fu Chenyan¡¯s broad shoulder, and there is a faint orange blossom scent on her body. Like the shimmering blue waves on the summer lake, it is fresh and clean. It is also like a drizzle falling on the blooming orange blossom, and every pure and white petal is clear, sweet and beautiful. In the limited space of the back seat, Ling Tian¡¯s sweet fragrance permeates everywhere. Fu Chenyan is silent for a moment, and then reaches out his big hand to hold her hand. The man¡¯s big palm wraps around her tender little hand, warm and dry, and her beating heart also heats up with it. After a while, Fu Chenyan spoke to the driver, ¡°Old Cheng, find a convenience store.¡± ¡°Okay, sir,¡± replied the driver. Compelled with curiosity, Ling Tian asked, ¡°Husband, what do you want to buy?¡± Her voice was gentle and her beautiful eyes were clear and translucent, exuding purity, like a clean sheet of paper that made his heart itch, wanting to scribble on it. Fu Chenyan absentmindedly withdrew his gaze, slightly lowered his head, and leaned closer to her ear. ¡°When a man brings a woman home, what do you think he needs to buy?¡± His speech was slow, and his voice was magnetic, mixed with a hint of ambiguity that fell into her ears. Ling Tian¡¯s body stiffened slightly, and she suddenly thought of those blush-inducing items on the shelves beside the convenience store checkout counter. And her heart did start to beat faster, as her face gradually turned red. Although she was naive, she was not completely ignorant of love between men and women. In her current understanding, although Fu Chenyan loved her very much, he had not touched her because of the opposition from Ling Wensen and Song Shuwan. She followed him home just wanting to be close to him, without considering anything between men and women. Was he unable to resist anymore? Then tonight¡­ Fu Chenyan looked at the girl¡¯s tender and white cheeks turning slightly pink. After a moment, he smiled gently and said, ¡°There are no women¡¯s slippers or toiletries suitable for you at home.¡± Ling Tian was stunned and blinked her eyes. So he wanted to buy these things. She thought, she thought¡­ Oh my God, why did she think of such things? Ling Tian¡¯s face began to blush again, feeling so embarrassed that she bit her lip. The car quickly stopped by the roadside, next to a 24-hour convenience store. Ling Tian followed Fu Chenyan out of the car and into the convenience store. The electronic sound of ¡°Welcome¡± rang out, and the shopkeeper, who was playing games on his phone, looked up and widened his eyes. The appearance and temperament of this pair of men and women who came in were too outstanding. The girl turned her head and met his gaze, politely smiled at him, and two small dimples appeared at the corners of her lips, sweetening him! The two walked to the daily necessities area, and after looking at the dazzling array of slippers for a while, Ling Tian still couldn¡¯t find a pair that matched her taste. ¡°How about this pair?¡± Fu Chenyan picked up a pair of milky yellow ones. Ling Tian didn¡¯t like them at first, but because he picked them, she suddenly found them pleasing to the eye and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get this pair.¡± Fu Chenyan¡¯s eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement. ¡°Just make do with them for one night, I¡¯ll arrange something else for you tomorrow.¡± Ling Tian also picked up some toiletries and put them in the shopping cart. When it was time to pay, Ling Tian couldn¡¯t help but glance at the shelf next to the cashier. The top shelf was filled with brightly colored condom packages that were hard to miss. Normally, she would just glance over these things, but for some reason, Ling Tian¡¯s ears turned red as she read the words ¡°ultra-thin¡± and ¡°long-lasting¡± on the packaging. Before she could look away, she heard Fu Chenyan¡¯s deep voice in her ear, ¡°Do you want to buy a box?¡± Ling Tian¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she shook her head nervously, ¡°No!¡± Fu Chenyan said, ¡°Buy a box.¡± As Ling Tian blushed and her heart raced, the man¡¯s large hand reached out and grabbed a box of sugar-free mint candy from the shelf below the condoms. He said, ¡°I think this one is good.¡± Ling Tian: ¡°¡­¡­¡± Twenty minutes later, the black Maybach entered the underground parking lot of the Lanting building. Lanting is a famous luxury residential complex located in the central business district of Beijing, with an average price of several hundred thousand yuan per square meter. Fu Chenyan purchased a top-floor duplex, with the curtains in the living room automatically opening to reveal a panoramic view of the river through the clear floor-to-ceiling glass. The interior design was personally handled by a famous design master, with simplicity that exuded luxury and taste in every detail. Not far away, the Fu Group headquarters building stood tall in the night, its huge corporate logo shining brightly and impressively. This residence was relatively close to the Fu Group¡¯s office building, so Fu Chenyan often stayed here. It was almost three in the morning when Fu Chenyan took Ling Tian upstairs, with her sleeping in the guest room closest to the master bedroom. The house is regularly cleaned, and the guest room is spotless as well. Fu Chenyan handed her one of his clean shirts to wear as pajamas and instructed, ¡°You have injuries and can¡¯t touch water. Just use a hot towel to wipe yourself.¡± Ling Tian nodded and said, ¡°I understand.¡± He said, ¡°Rest early. Goodnight.¡± ¡°Goodnight,¡± she replied. As she watched Fu Chenyan turn and leave, Ling Tian pouted slightly, and her eyes dimmed. He didn¡¯t even give her a goodnight kiss. Ling Tian opened the shopping bag and found the toiletries she had bought at the convenience store. She unexpectedly discovered a pack of individually wrapped sterile disposable underwear. She was sure she didn¡¯t buy it herself, as it hadn¡¯t even crossed her mind to purchase that. It must have been Fu Chenyan who put it in the shopping cart while she wasn¡¯t paying attention. ¡°He¡¯s so considerate,¡± Ling Tian thought sweetly. Fu Chenyan returned to the master bedroom, took a shower in the bathroom, and when he came out, he had only wrapped a towel around his narrow waist, as usual. But tonight was different from usual because there was someone else in his bedroom. Fu Chenyan looked at Ling Tian calmly and asked, ¡°How did you come over here?¡± He exercises regularly, with clearly defined abdominal muscles, and droplets of water that hadn¡¯t been dried from his chest flowed down the contours of his sturdy muscles. The towel draped casually around his waist was somewhat loose, revealing two lines of mermaid muscles and faint veins. Caught off guard by the sudden sight, Ling Tian was stunned for two seconds, then blushed and said, ¡°I, I knocked on the door, but you didn¡¯t respond.¡± Her slender waist was hidden in his oversized shirt, but her slender and straight legs were exposed in the light, as white as if they had been soaked in milk. Fu Chenyan glanced at the white legs, then approached her and asked gently, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ling Tian restrained her gaze, not staring at his abs, and steadied her voice with a hint of coquetry, ¡°Husband, you forgot to give me a goodnight kiss.¡± ¡°Sorry.¡± Fu Chenyan chuckled lightly and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Ling Tian¡¯s cheeks were still flushed, her eyes watery: ¡°Not here.¡± Fu Chenyan paused slightly, his gaze unconsciously shifting to her lips. Her lips were beautifully shaped, the petals were rosy and plump, and they looked soft and tender. ¡°Come on, hurry up,¡± urged Ling Tian. A dark shade flickered in Fu Chenyan¡¯s eyes as he cupped her face with one large hand. Ling Tian¡¯s heart raced and she closed her eyes. She felt the warmth and steam emanating from the man, felt his breath, and the strong male hormones surrounding her. The next second, a warm and soft touch landed on the corner of her lips. Ling Tian opened her eyes and met Fu Chenyan¡¯s deep gaze. ¡°Goodnight.¡± His voice seemed slightly hoarse. Ling Tian didn¡¯t say anything, seeming unsatisfied with this goodnight kiss. She bit her lip, and suddenly clung onto Fu Chenyan¡¯s shoulders with both hands, standing on tiptoe, and pressed her lips directly onto his perfectly.
