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

Upon hearing that it was a call from her youngest daughter's in-laws, Lu's mother quickly greeted them politely, "Hello, mother-in-law."

Li's mother got straight to the point, "Yaoyao had an accident. Her father and I went out to buy groceries, and Yaoyao fell at home. She's in the hospital now, but don't worry, she's fine. It's just that she lost the baby..."

As Li's mother began to sob, she didn't give the other person a chance to speak, "It's all my and her father's fault for not taking good care of Yao Yao. We feel so guilty. Now that this has happened, we just thought that with you by Yao Yao's side, she would feel a little better..."

The news was so sudden that Lu's mother on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while before she reacted. "Thank you so much for calling to tell us, my dear in-law. We'll head to the city right now."

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

At this moment, Mr. Lu, who had overheard the conversation in his wife's ear, looked very flustered. "Something happened to our daughter? Let's go, let's take the next bus there right away."

“But your health…” Aunt Lu was a little worried.

"Oh dear, what time is it? Of course, our daughter is more important. Besides, you old woman have hardly ever been to the city. If you get lost again, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

With that, the two began to pack their things quickly, preparing to leave.

Throughout the conversation, Lu's mother kept nagging, "These two daughters are good in every way, except for one thing: no matter what happens outside, they always only report good news to the family and never bad news. Their father and mother are always the last to know, sigh..."

At this moment, inside a hospital ward.

Overwhelmed with grief and weakened by her physical condition, Lu Shuyao fell into a deep sleep once again.

Lu Shiyi also saw a doctor for a check-up, and there was nothing serious. She just needed to rest well and recover slowly.

After his younger sister fell asleep, Lu Shiyi left the ward.

She saw her husband, Fu Cheng, resting with his eyes closed on a bench in the corridor outside the ward.

The soft lighting on his profile made his already delicate features appear even more three-dimensional.

Lu Shiyi was somewhat stunned. She had always known that her husband was handsome, but she never expected that he would be even more handsome than usual, as if he had an extra halo, making him quite charming.

She walked up to her husband and said softly, "You must be tired. Go home and rest. Don't go to work this afternoon. Ask your boss for leave."

"By the way, you've been taking the past few days off, is that alright?"

Lu Shiyi remembered that her husband had just taken leave a couple of days ago, so she asked another question.

Fu Cheng glanced at his wife. Wasn't she the one who ran a study hall? Why did she seem to have the habit of taking leave ingrained in her bones?

For some reason, I felt a little curious about her past.

However, he didn't ask any further questions or give Lu Shiyi a clear answer. Instead, he asked her, "Are you alright here all by yourself?"

"Yes, don't worry. Yao Yao's condition has stabilized, and Tang Tang will be here later. You've had a long day, so go back and rest."

Fu Cheng's dark eyes were fixed on his wife, the one who had worked the hardest, standing right in front of him.

Her attitude toward her family gave him a deeper understanding of her.

However, when Fu Cheng heard his wife say that her best friend would also be coming, he didn't insist anymore and simply said, "Call me if anything comes up."

Then he turned and left.

Looking at her husband's back, Lu Shiyi felt that when he wasn't cold, he seemed to be a decent person.

But she didn't think too much about it, after all, they had signed an agreement, and her husband did these things simply because of his character and sense of responsibility.

After leaving the hospital, Fu Cheng went straight back to the company.

He had just arrived at the company entrance when he ran into He Ze, who was returning from dropping off a client.

When He Ze saw him return, he ran up to him and asked, "Old Fu, have you taken care of things at home?"

Fu Cheng nodded.

"Are you alright? Just let me know if you need any help."

The two walked into the company together, talking as they went.

Fu Cheng turned his head to look at his friend, "No need, it's a matter for my wife's family, and you've already helped me a lot."

He Ze clicked his tongue. When did this guy start saying the word 'wife' so fluently?

He nudged Fu Cheng's arm and asked with a gossipy look, "You two, have you made up?"

Fu Cheng glanced at him, "We've always been on good terms!"

"Oh, all right."

As they walked, He Ze commented, "That's right, there's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between husband and wife. It's good that you're on good terms. However, the agreement you signed before was indeed a bit hasty. What kind of couple signs an agreement just because they have a fight?"

He Ze knew from the beginning that his friend's marriage was a whirlwind romance without any emotional foundation, but he could tell from Fu Cheng's drunken state last time that Fu Cheng's agreement was not a guarantee, but a stumbling block on Fu Cheng's road to happiness.

As He Ze spoke, he glanced at Fu Cheng's hand and asked with concern, "Your sister-in-law hasn't hit you again, has she?"

Fu Cheng turned his head and glared at him. At the same time, all the gratitude he had felt for He Ze for helping him appease the client vanished.

He changed the subject impatiently, saying, "The client doesn't have any objections, right?"

"Of course! With me here, how could the customers have any complaints!"

He Ze looked smug.

"However, the final reassurance will require your personal involvement as the boss. I've told them that you'll contact them immediately once you've finished with the urgent matter."

He Ze glanced at the time; it was only a little past four in the afternoon. He said, "How about I contact them now and schedule another meeting?"

Fu Cheng replied, "You handle it first, and we'll discuss the specific time tomorrow."

He Ze was puzzled. "Why? Aren't you here right now?"

Fu Cheng looked at his friend and said in a calm and even tone, "My wife said that I worked too hard today and told me to go home and rest early, so I'm not going to work today and am taking a break."

He Ze: "..."

This guy is definitely doing it on purpose. He's mentioned his wife several times in just a few minutes. Is he trying to provoke this single guy?

However, what he found even stranger was that Lao Fu actually said he wanted to take a vacation.

He Ze put his hand on Fu Cheng's shoulder. "A holiday? Old Fu, you never used to take holidays!"

Almost simultaneously, Fu Cheng pulled his hand away.

He doesn't like being touched, especially on the shoulder. After Lu Shiyi leaned on him at noon, he became even more sensitive.

As Fu Cheng walked, he said, "Things are different now. I have a family and a wife, so naturally my family comes first. It's also very necessary to take a break occasionally to spend time with my family."

He Ze: "…………"

So, are these grueling, overtime-working tasks just meant for us single people to do?

He looked at his friend with a resentful expression, "Then why did you come to the company? Did you come to provoke me?"

Fu Cheng said, "I'm not that bored. I just came to the company because I was passing by and wanted to put the documents from this morning back in my office."

After saying that, he strode into the elevator, then looked at He Ze standing at the elevator door, "What? Aren't you coming up with me?"

He Zeli stood motionless at the door. "No, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack."

Fu Cheng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Do as you please."

Then, I pressed the close button on the elevator and went to the top-floor office.

As He Ze watched the guy in the elevator who kept showing off his wife, the sweet face of the girl at the cocktail party unconsciously came to mind.

"Hmph, so what if you have a wife..."
