After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.
Chapter 14 Falling from the Altar
Fu Cheng didn't want to continue the conversation and fell silent again.
"By the way, Mr. Fu, are you free tomorrow?"
Fu Cheng's tone remained cold. "What is it?"
"If you have time, I'd like you to come with me to visit my younger sister, Yao Yao. She knows I'm married."
Fu Cheng had heard the old man mention that Lu Shiyi had a younger sister in Nanshi, and that Lu Shiyi was very close to her and took good care of her.
"Now that we're married, your sister is also my sister, so I should go and visit her."
Lu Shiyi was very happy, "Okay, then we'll go tomorrow morning, but... um..."
"Anything else?"
Fu Cheng found communicating with women more troublesome than doing business with clients, mainly because he neither liked it nor was good at it.
"Um, when I told my parents and sister about our wedding, I lied a little bit, so if they ask about it in the future, I hope you can help me out and not expose me."
Fu Cheng was somewhat displeased. "Are you trying to make me lie to you?"
Lu Shiyi quickly explained, "It's mainly because I was afraid they would worry. It's a white lie, it won't hurt anyone."
“I told them that you were my college classmate, that you pursued me when we were in school but I rejected you because I wanted to focus on my studies, and that we met by chance a few days ago and got married on a whim.”
"That's how it is, so you don't need to say anything deliberately at the time, just accept it and don't expose it."
Upon hearing that it was a college classmate, and one she had rejected, Fu Cheng instinctively wanted to refuse.
He disdained lying and disliked lying, but the thought of concealing his identity...
After hesitating for a moment, he still hummed in agreement.
He agreed that she was also thinking of her family.
After they finished talking about this, the atmosphere cooled down again. They really didn't have anything to talk about, and they were still not familiar with each other.
"I'll go inside and take care of something for a while."
Lu Shiyi got up and went into the second bedroom, took out his laptop and started working on his little side business.
The next morning, after breakfast, the two prepared to head to the younger sister's house.
Lu Shiyi suggested taking the bus, but Fu Cheng refused outright, especially after hearing that it would take an hour and a half by bus.
Pretending to be poor in a small Buick is already his limit.
This was the first time Lu Shiyi had ridden in her husband's car since they got married.
They went to the supermarket first. After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Fu Cheng sat in the driver's seat without moving.
He didn't really want to get involved in trivial matters like shopping, but Lu Shiyi didn't think so. Her aloof and arrogant husband needed to be around more people in places like supermarkets. (This "people around" is not the same as the "people around" in Chinese.)
Lu Shiyi leaned out of the passenger window. "Mr. Fu, the air in the garage is terrible. There are all sorts of pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, as well as harmful substances like formaldehyde and xylene. Why don't we go up to the supermarket?"
Fu Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally got out of the car.
But he didn't say a word the whole way, just silently followed behind Lu Shiyi.
At the supermarket, Lu Shiyi wandered around buying things, while Fu Cheng stood beside her like a human robot.
As he strolled around, he discovered that this woman knew everything about the supermarket's promotions. She knew exactly which vegetables were fresh at what times and which fruits were on sale.
Fu Cheng couldn't understand how anyone could be willing to spend their brain cells on such things and even find enjoyment in it.
She said it was to save money, but she was never stingy when it came to buying things for her sister.
She bought bags and boxes of various sizes, and paid for everything herself, without touching the card he gave her, saying that these purchases weren't considered expenses for their small household.
After leaving the supermarket, Lu Shiyi walked ahead, while Fu Cheng followed behind with his arms full.
They need to take the elevator to the underground parking lot on the basement level.
Stepping out of the elevator, Lu Shiyi felt a little lost. She turned to Fu Cheng behind her and asked, "Mr. Fu, do you remember where we parked our car?"
Fu Cheng: "..."
His driver used to handle these things; he had no experience with them.
Seeing that Fu Cheng was even more confused than herself, Lu Shiyi spread her hands and said, "I don't remember either, even though I've already seen Barbie Q."
She only had a two-wheeled electric vehicle and had even less experience than Fu Cheng.
With no other option, the two could only wander aimlessly around the garage like headless flies.
The garage was stuffy and hot. Lu Shiyi followed behind Fu Cheng, looking around for the car.
Suddenly, without warning, she bumped into Fu Cheng's thick back, which had suddenly stopped.
The man staggered slightly from the impact.
Lu Shiyi touched her slightly sore forehead and walked around from behind Fu Cheng to the front.
"Mr. Fu, why did you suddenly stop...?"
As they were talking, their gazes met the man's eyes, which were filled with rage, and they felt as if those flames could burst forth at any moment and burn them to ashes.
Fu Cheng almost growled, "Damn!"
Lu Shiyi then noticed that the man was covered in sweat, and two beads of sweat were almost flowing into his eyes.
Seeing this, she quickly took out a tissue from her bag and raised her hand to help wipe it.
Looking at this man up close, his features are truly stunning. Despite being drenched in sweat, he shows no signs of being disheveled and remains handsome and pleasing to the eye, making one want to pinch his cheeks.
Lu Shiyi was about to touch the man's forehead with a tissue when Fu Cheng stubbornly turned his face away, saying, "I'll wipe it myself."
Then why was he staring at me with fire in his eyes just now? Wasn't it because he thought I was too insensitive to help him wipe his sweat?
Lu Shiyi was puzzled, but she stopped what she was doing, bent down and stuffed the tissue in her hand into the man's fingers, and then took everything from the man's hands.
When Fu Cheng wiped his sweat and looked up again, he saw Lu Shiyi carrying things in both hands, walking briskly ahead, shouting as he ran, "Hurry, hurry up, I see our car!" His voice was loud and clear.
In the blink of an eye, I had been left far behind.
Fu Cheng: "…………"
He seemed to know where the woman's food went.
Back in the car, Fu Cheng's face was tense. He thought to himself that he would never accompany his wife to the supermarket again. Absolutely not, he would never do it!
When they arrived at his sister's apartment complex, Fu Cheng parked the car and followed Lu Shiyi, carrying his things.
Although he knew his wife was full of energy, he still insisted on carrying it himself, because he had to give her face in front of her family.
The two arrived at the door one after the other, and it was Li Haokai, the brother-in-law, who opened the door.
Lu Shiyi had told them in advance, so he knew that his sister would be coming with her brother-in-law today.
When Li Haokai opened the door, he glanced at Fu Cheng behind Lu Shiyi and was somewhat surprised; his brother-in-law's image was much better than he had imagined.
He didn't know much about his brother-in-law's career, but the man's appearance was indeed far superior to his own, which diminished his sense of superiority.
But being a junior manager, Li Haokai still possessed basic social skills. He looked at Fu Cheng and said with a smile, "This must be my brother-in-law. He's really handsome and looks very successful."
As he spoke, he reached out and took the things from Fu Cheng's hands, then led the two into the house.
At this moment, Yao Yao and her parents-in-law also came out of the bedroom.
Looking at her tall, aloof brother-in-law, Yao Yao clung to Lu Shiyi's arm and whispered, "Sis, how could you bear to refuse such a handsome brother-in-law back then?"
Lu Shiyi glanced at Fu Cheng, who was being warmly greeted, smiled, and said nothing.
The group sat on the sofa and started chatting. Li Haokai had originally wanted to talk to his brother-in-law about their respective jobs, but seeing that Fu Cheng was rather aloof and didn't say much, they couldn't get into a conversation...
