When Lu Shiyi woke up, she felt her hand being tightly held by a thick, strong hand.

She opened her eyes and turned her head to look over.

The two looked at each other.

Then came the man's urgent and concerned words, "Eleven, you're awake. Is anything bothering you? Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Fu Cheng leaned over and asked with concern.

He still held his wife's hand tightly, never letting go.

Lu Shiyi remained unconscious for a full day.

When he arrived, he was terrified when he saw his wife's pale, bloodless face.

I feel so sorry for her.

I felt extremely guilty.

He stayed by her side every step of the way, from day to night.

He only dared to breathe a sigh of relief when she woke up.

Lu Shiyi's weary gaze was fixed on the man before her.

The panic on his face didn't seem feigned.

His words of concern didn't seem insincere.

But she didn't know how to respond to him.

Between her and him.

It seems that overnight, a natural barrier has appeared.

She could no longer see him clearly, nor could she easily touch him.

Lu Shiyi slowly withdrew her hand from his tightly clenched grip.

She didn't immediately and angrily expose him, nor did she hysterically question him.

In just a few days, too many things happened that she could hardly bear.

She was so tired, so exhausted.

Noticing his wife's reaction, Fu Cheng quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Eleven, I should have stayed by your side the whole time, I..."

He was speaking when Lu Shiyi interrupted him in a weak voice, "I want to be alone for a while."

In the current situation, there are still many things waiting for her to handle.

She couldn't afford to collapse, nor did she have the energy to worry about anything else.

She really wanted to be alone.

Cheer yourself up.

She has no right to use her sadness as an excuse to become despondent and abandon everything.

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng remained silent for a moment before replying, "Then you should rest well and eat something so you don't go hungry."

After saying that, he turned around and brought the food to his wife.

"You don't need to worry about anything else, I'll take care of it."

Lu Shiyi did not respond.

Fu Cheng looked at his wife with eyes full of heartache, but in the end, he turned and left the room dejectedly.

He really didn't know how to comfort his wife to make her feel better.

Perhaps it would be better to give her space and let her be alone.

……

Two weeks later, all the funeral arrangements were completed.

To outsiders, people coming and going in this world is just an ordinary thing.

At most, it's a bit of a pity.

But for Lu Shiyi and Lu Shuyao, it was an unspeakable pain.

No matter how much time passes, it's hard to forget, hard to accept, and hard to move on...

During this time, Fu Cheng did his best to offer his wife the greatest comfort, but to little avail.

The wife was so grief-stricken that she refused to communicate with anyone.

Especially him...

Fu Cheng believed that at this moment, the person his wife trusted most, wanted to rely on most, and hoped to confide in most was him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shiyi was unwilling to talk to him.

His wife even urged him to go back and handle company matters.

He said that he is very busy every day, and it would be bad to neglect his work.

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng thoughtfully comforted his wife, saying that he was just a minor leader in the company, and it made no difference whether the company had him or not, so it wouldn't cause any disruption.

As a result, Lu Shiyi kicked him out of the room immediately after hearing this.

At the time, Fu Cheng was completely baffled.

After thinking for a long time, he finally came to the conclusion that it was all because he had left his wife with too deep an impression of being a workaholic. Even when he comforted her by saying that it didn't matter whether the company had him or not, his wife didn't believe him. She was really afraid of interfering with his work!

Lu Shiyi is such a strong-willed girl; even at a time like this, she's still thinking about him.

……

After it's over.

Lu Shiyi locked himself in his old house and stayed alone for a whole week.

Looking at every brick and tile of the house, every nook and cranny inside, she broke down and cried countless times.

She doesn't understand.

Why did everything she cherished disappear overnight?

Everything has changed.

Whether she accepts it or not, whether she wants it or not, everything has changed.

It was so sudden and unexpected, it was unbearable!

……

Lu Shuyao, who returned to Nanshi, was also unwilling to accept the facts.

Meiyu Huating residential community.

When Li Haokai returned home late at night, he was startled to see Lu Shuyao sitting upright on the sofa as soon as he turned on the light.

"Are you crazy? You don't turn on the lights at home."

Li Haokai changed his slippers while cursing.

He knew nothing about his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

No one told him, and of course, he wouldn't take the initiative to care.

Seeing that Lu Shuyao did not respond, he continued to question her: "Why did you call me back?"

He wouldn't have gone home at all if Lu Shuyao hadn't messaged him.

I don't want to go back.

Lin Xiaoshan felt that Lu Shuyao was calling Li Haokai back at this time because she was probably going to talk about the divorce case and property, so she tried to persuade Li Haokai in various ways.

Only then did he reluctantly go home.

Li Haokai walked into the living room and noticed that there were many bottles of wine on the coffee table in front of the sofa, including red, white and beer.

"Lu Shuyao, what's wrong with you? Buying so much alcohol! What? You called me back so you'd have me drink with you?"

Lu Shuyao looked up and stared intently at the man in front of her.

The chilling glint in his eyes sent a shiver down Li Haokai's spine.

He had never seen Lu Shuyao like this before since they met.

Why are you staring at me like that? Why aren't you saying anything?

Li Haokai felt a little uneasy under Lu Shuyao's gaze and asked her question hesitantly.

"It's nothing, I just feel that it's time for things to come to an end between us," Lu Shuyao replied coldly.

As she spoke, she picked up a bottle of liquor from the table, put it to her lips, and bit down hard. The bottle cap fell to the floor with a 'clatter'.

Li Haokai, who was standing next to him, was startled.

He looked at the liquor in Lu Shuyao's hand, then glanced at the bottle cap on the ground.

When did this woman become so fierce?

Back when they first met, she even needed him to help her open the bottle cap when she wanted to drink something...

"Are you planning to drink standing up?" Lu Shuyao took two large beer glasses and filled them one after the other.

"Is this how you drink alcohol? Do you think it's just plain water? Besides, did I ever say I wanted to drink with you?"

Li Haokai just stood there, showing no intention of sitting down.

"Haven't you always wanted me to give up my assets? After this drink, I'll tell you my final decision."

As Lu Shuyao spoke, she picked up her wine glass and gulped down two large mouthfuls.

Li Haokai, watching from the side, felt a chill run down his spine. "You, you should speak properly, no, that's not right, you should drink properly, that's not right either..."

Li Haokai felt his tongue was starting to get tied in knots.

He was truly shocked by Lu Shuyao's fierce side.

"How would I know if what you told me after we finished drinking together was still your previous decision, unchanged!"

After hearing this, Lu Shuyao slammed her wine glass down on the glass tabletop.

"I said, let's end it completely. Don't we know each other for years and it's not even worth a drink?"

Lu Shuyao raised her eyes and glanced at Li Haokai, who was still standing.

"Don't worry, as long as you drink with me to your heart's content today, I'll grant your wish..."
