We agreed to divorce at the expiration date, why do you regret it, Mr. Fu?

He was so fake and sincere that people were even cautious when questioning him.

"Well, that's good," Wen Litao felt relieved when he heard him speak so confidently, and his heavy complexion just now became radiant.

He took Fu Ruoshi's hand, then took Wen Zhixia's hand, and crossed their hands.

"Mr. Fu," Wen Litao looked at Fu Ruoshi solemnly, "I have never begged anyone in my life. I just have one request."

Fu Ruoshi readily agreed, "Just tell me what you want, I'll take care of everything for you."

Wen Zhixia nudged him with her elbow after hearing this, "Can you please stop being so unreasonable?"

"Who's clueless?" Fu Ruoshi shot back seriously, "I'm clueless in front of an old man? Am I still a human being?"

"It wasn't originally."

......

Wen Litao patted Wen Zhixia, then said to Fu Ruoshi, "Can you hug her?"

"Now?" Wen Zhixia stopped him with a red face, "Grandpa, why do you do whatever you want..."

Before she could finish her words, Fu Ruoshi grabbed her shoulders and pressed her into his arms. He reached out and stroked the back of her head, then pinched her waist where her grandfather couldn't see. Wen Zhixia was caught off guard and her ticklish spot was pressed. She was angry and amused, her little face flushed pink. It took her a long time to break free from Fu Ruoshi and she hit him hard twice.

"It hurts, it hurts so much," Fu Ruoshi covered his chest, "Stop, stop."

"Best Actor." Wen Zhixia glared at him.

Watching the young couple flirting with each other, Wen Litao felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

Seeing him always giving in to his granddaughter, I felt relieved.

It's better to entrust my granddaughter to him than to those questionable men out there.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry," Fu Ruoshi looked at the old man and smiled, "We are usually like this, but when she hits me, I never fight back."

Wen Litao pretended to have a stern face and criticized Wen Zhixia, "Don't treat Mr. Fu like this. Cook for him and chat with him when you have nothing to do."

Wen Zhixia gritted her teeth and said, "I'll cook and poison him to death."

Fu Ruoshi felt wronged: "Grandpa, look at her."

Wen Litao couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, you guys go back." He looked at Fu Ruoshi gratefully, "Mr. Fu, thank you for coming to see me. I'm sorry for putting you through this during this time."

"We are all family, that's not right," said Fu Ruoshi.

Wen Zhixia felt that he was pretending too much and wanted to say something else, but Fu Ruoshi secretly pinched her from behind to shut her up.

Forget it, what’s most important is that grandpa is happy, so I won’t pour cold water on him.

"Grandpa, go to bed early. We will come to see you tomorrow."

Wen Litao smiled and nodded.

"Grandpa, you should get some rest early." Fu Ruoshi also said, "We'll go home first."

After saying that, he grabbed Wen Zhixia's waist without saying anything and dragged her out of the ward.

As soon as they entered the corridor, Wen Zhixia distanced herself from him.

"Thank you," she said. "Thank you for taking the time to cheer my grandfather up. Have you had dinner? Come to my house and I'll make you some midnight snack."

Fu Ruoshi also put away his playful smile.

"Are you going to treat me to a meal, or are you going to poison me?"

Wen Zhixia rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I wanted to poison you, would you still have the chance to talk nonsense with me?"

"Come if you want." After saying that, she left Fu Ruoshi and walked towards the elevator.

There was a midnight snack, so Fu Ruoshi followed decisively.

After arriving home, Wen Zhixia went to wash vegetables and cook noodles.

Fu Ruoshi wandered around her room, and after that he started to give her instructions on how to cook.

Wen Zhixia didn't understand how he could be so energetic. Most people would need several days to adjust to the time difference after returning to China, but for him, leaving the country was as easy as leaving the community.

"The chopped green onions are too big," Fu Ruoshi looked at Wen Zhixia's slender fingers coldly, "I don't eat ham slices."

Wen Zhixia ignored him.

"I don't eat fried eggs," Fu Ruoshi continued recklessly, "I want to eat poached eggs."

"Why don't you add salt when you stir the eggs?"

“Why black pepper?”

“Why not scissors?”

......

Wen Zhixia was already tired enough, and his words made her head buzz. She slammed the knife on the chopping board and said, "If you keep nagging me, I'll eat you too."

There were two little chickens on her apron, and she looked like she was holding a knife and glaring at people, but she had no deterrent effect at all, which even made Fu Ruoshi make an emoticon that said "I'll kill you within three days."

"puff......"

He finally couldn't help laughing out loud, the dimples on his cheeks sank deeply, and faint smile lines appeared under his eyes.

His smile was magical. Wen Zhixia glanced at it casually, and then it seemed that even the anxiety and fatigue of the past few days seemed to be relieved a little.

"Can you please stop laughing?" Wen Zhixia looked at him.

When she raised her eyes, Fu Ruoshi saw the red bloodshot in her eyes and guessed that she had not slept for several hours in total in the past few days.

He was somewhat moved. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He smoothed her hair in front of her forehead with some concern.

His movements were light but his strength was overbearing. The fragile woman in front of him seemed like she would fly away if he let go of her hands.

"I really want to lock you up at home." Fu Ruoshi said, his breath whispering in her ears, "Don't even think about running away."

Wen Zhixia was unable to breathe as his arms gradually tightened around her.

"Don't make trouble," she turned her head and pushed Fu Ruoshi and said, "Grandpa is not here, you don't have to act."

Fu Ruoshi didn't let her go. He looked into Wen Zhixia's dark pupils and said, "I'm not acting. I'm telling the truth."

"I really want to find a rope to tie you up."

Wen Zhixia frowned, "Pervert!"

"Good scolding." Fu Ruoshi looked at her with a smile.

When he went to see Wen Litao today, he actually felt that the old man's condition was not very good, but later when he saw himself and Wen Zhixia playing and joking, his complexion became a little rosier.

If the old man is really gone in the future, can she protect herself in this dangerous world alone?

She is very fragile, as if she would fall down at the slightest breeze, yet very strong, and would not bow her head even if her bones were broken.

If she offends a powerful person, others will crush her like crushing an ant.

He knew she wasn't afraid.

Thinking of this, Fu Ruoshi spoke, half jokingly and half seriously, "Wen Zhixia, why don't you just listen to your grandfather and not divorce me, okay?"

Wen Zhixia bit her lip.

Is what he said true or false?

"Why?" She looked up. Under the dim light of the kitchen, Fu Ruoshi's eyes sparkled like the water in Taohuatan, deep and affectionate.

If he had said this to her with eyes like this ten years ago, she would have nodded and said yes without hesitation.

But now, she saw through his fickleness and the complex indifference of the wealthy, and she knew that there was an unbridgeable gap between her and him.

Fu Ruoshi's Adam's apple moved, and his tone was a little casual, "I can't bear to see you married to another man."

As expected, he just treated himself as an object and didn't want to let others play with him.

Men are really giant babies, giant babies who want everything.

Wen Zhixia didn't know what she was expecting.

"Fu Ruoshi, you are so capable, can't you find a woman who is more obedient, less troublesome, and more capable of boosting your career than me?"

She struggled out of his arms and said expressionlessly, "If you need anything, you can. You made my grandfather so happy tonight, I should repay you. Let's talk after dinner."

Treating himself as an object, such self-deprecating words hurt Fu Ruoshi's heart.

"Am I such a despicable person in your eyes?"
