After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shiyi's recent habit of leaving early and returning late has made Fu Cheng feel a sense of crisis.

In the morning, while eating breakfast alone, he silently did some mental calculations.

Seven days.

He hasn't had breakfast with his wife for seven days.

The couple's relationship had finally started to warm up, and he felt that if he didn't do something, the warmth would cool down.

In particular, he has learned what his wife has been busy with lately, but she has never mentioned it to him.

He did ask, but Lu Shiyi always said he would tell him after he figured it out himself, which frustrated him greatly.

She didn't even think to discuss it with him or ask for his help right away.

This strong-willed girl...

After breakfast, Aunt Zhang immediately came over to clean up.

Because Lu Shiyi ate breakfast earlier, Aunt Zhang ate with the young mistress.

"Aunt Zhang, you should take a day off today."

The coldness and sharpness in his words sent a shiver down one's spine.

Aunt Zhang, who was clearing the dishes, suddenly stopped, her hand visibly tense.

The atmosphere was already somewhat dull and oppressive since it was just her and Young Master Fu left in the room. Then Young Master Fu suddenly said that, and Aunt Zhang was unsure if she had done something wrong that had displeased him.

The main thing is, it's only Thursday, not the weekend yet.

"Young Master Fu, I..."

With the young mistress absent, she dared not address Young Master Fu as Mr. Fu.

As soon as Aunt Zhang opened her mouth, Fu Cheng continued, "It has nothing to do with you, it's just a day off."

Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As for why Young Master Fu suddenly gave her a day off, Aunt Zhang didn't speculate. She just did whatever Young Master Fu told her to do.

Meanwhile, Lu Shiyi, who had been busy at the computer in the study hall for more than half an hour, was concentrating on looking up information.

She still needs to go out and work on venue issues later.

She's been running around for two days now trying to find a venue.

Originally, the best location would be near her study room, and together with the bookstore next door, it would be a perfect one-stop service.

Unfortunately, there are no shops available for rent nearby.

Actually, she had two ideas about the venue.

Firstly, she could rent additional spaces elsewhere, but based on her experience over the past two days, she hasn't found suitable options near the study center, and those further away are inconvenient for her to manage. She's afraid she won't be able to manage them all in the early stages.

Secondly, the existing self-study center can be sold off, and the two can be combined into one, directly becoming a slightly larger training institution.

She currently prefers the second option.

Not only would it be easier to manage, but she had also found a suitable venue.

As luck would have it, the place was right on the street behind Fu Cheng's company, making it convenient for the couple to commute to and from get off work together.

She plans to go and take a look later, and then discuss it with her husband tomorrow to make a decision.

She had already completed most of the preliminary investigations, and now she could discuss and make decisions with her husband in a reasoned and evidence-based manner.

So it's not that she doesn't want to discuss it with her husband, but rather that she doesn't want to discuss it with him in a moment of impulse, a fleeting interest, or when she doesn't know the answer.

After all, he's so busy with work; if she mentions it, he'll probably just take over all the investigation work.

She doesn't yet know the depth of the couple's relationship.

But she had no doubt about her husband's character and sense of responsibility.

However, at this moment, Fu Cheng had no idea what his wife was really thinking.

He was still feeling depressed and annoyed by Lu Shiyi's recent coldness towards him.

So, he dialed the number directly now, even though he had originally planned to call his wife in the afternoon.

"I'll pick you up tonight, let's go home early."

When Lu Shiyi heard her husband say this, her first reaction was that she had indeed been coming home late a lot lately and should come home earlier. The couple had hardly seen each other lately.

But not tonight. She has some things to finish, and she wants to spend the night with Yao Yao.

Tomorrow, starting tomorrow, everything will definitely be fine.

So she replied, "I want to go and keep Yao Yao company tonight. That scumbag Li Haokai hasn't come home since Yao Yao brought up divorce. I talked to Yao Yao on the phone today and she seemed extremely depressed. She almost cried while we were talking. Something must have happened to her. I want to go and keep her company."

After a moment of silence, Fu Cheng on the other end of the phone asked, "How about going home first, and then going over?"

He had already made preparations, and he didn't want to cancel at the last minute.

Every extra day of waiting means another day of frustration.

"Is something going on tonight?" Lu Shiyi asked.

Otherwise, her husband wouldn't have let her go home first before going over there.

"Yes, you'll find out when you get back."

He can't say it outright for now, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise.

Lu Shiyi: You'll find out when you get back?

What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?

Lu Shiyi tilted her head and thought for a while.

Suddenly, her pretty face turned red.

She realized that her relative had been gone for several days.

She also thought about the 'new pleasures in life' her husband had mentioned to her in bed the last time.

Unfortunately, I ran into some relatives visiting at that time.

So, he wants to sleep with her?

They're too embarrassed to say it out loud, which is why it's so mysterious?

Otherwise, Lu Shiyi really couldn't think of anything else that he couldn't bring himself to say directly.

The woman, her face flushed, replied, "How about we wait until tomorrow?"

She thought, there's no rush, it doesn't have to be tonight.

But then she heard Fu Cheng across from her discussing, "How about we go home for an hour? After we're done, I'll drive you to Yao Yao's place."

He hoped his wife would see his feelings and hear what he wanted to say to her tonight.

Besides, those things he had prepared won't be seen tomorrow.

Lu Shiyi suddenly asked tentatively, "Is Aunt Zhang here tonight?"

Although he didn't know why his wife suddenly asked that question, Fu Cheng thought she probably wouldn't guess the surprise he had prepared.

So he replied truthfully, "I gave Aunt Zhang a day off today, she's not here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi became even more certain of his guess.

He just wanted to sleep with her!

In order to experience the taste of meat, the man even sent Aunt Zhang away.

The woman pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

Fu Cheng could only try to negotiate again, "What about half an hour? Twenty minutes? Or ten minutes?"

He had to at least let her see the surprise he had carefully prepared, and the three words he wanted to say beneath it.

Unfortunately, with time limited, he could only condense what he wanted to say into just three crucial words.

Lu Shiyi, on the other end of the phone, was completely stunned.

Is it possible to negotiate the timing for something like this?

Just as her thoughts were racing, Fu Cheng made a final concession, "Or you can just come back and sit for a while. I'll be done quickly, and I'll take you to Yao Yao's place right away. It won't be too late."

Lu Shiyi: "..."

Just sit for a while? It'll be over soon?

What's going on here?

Lu Shiyi asked, almost as if possessed, "How long will that be? Three minutes?"

Fu Cheng replied, "Three minutes is not impossible, if you want to finish quickly."

Lu Shiyi: “(⊙?⊙)…”

three minutes?

Is it possible to do it this fast?

Good heavens, Fu Cheng, such a strong and upright man, only lasted three minutes?

This is unbelievable...
