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

After what happened during the day, Lu Shiyi didn't seem sleepy at all.

As she walked toward the balcony, she decided on the spur of the moment to sit there for a while before going to sleep.

After all, the best time to relax and daydream is when the night is quiet and still.

Lu Shiyi walked straight toward the deck chair. The balcony was wide and long, shrouded in the hazy night, blending into the sleeping city.

Just as she was about to get close, she suddenly let out a "Ah..." that pierced the night sky.

Lu Shiyi screamed, feeling as if her soul was about to leave her body.

She immediately turned around and ran to the balcony entrance to turn on the light.

So frightened, one of his slippers fell off.

The moment the lights came on, she realized that the long, dark figure on the recliner was actually a person.

At this moment, Fu Cheng, who had been awakened, was staring blankly at Lu Shiyi at the balcony door.

He asked: "What's wrong?"

Lu Shiyi was still in shock, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, her lips quivering, "You, why are you sleeping here?"

Fu Cheng looked around in confusion until he saw the slippers on the ground.

He shifted his gaze to his wife's feet, then realized what had happened and said softly, "Did I scare you?"

Lu Shiyi looked at her husband on the recliner, dressed in dark gray pajamas. If the light wasn't on, at first glance, it would be impossible to tell whether he was a person or something else.

Watching too many horror movies inevitably leads to a more vivid imagination.

She clutched her chest, and once her breathing had calmed, she went over to put on her slippers and asked her husband, "Why are you sleeping on the balcony? Why aren't you turning on the light?"

Fu Cheng did not answer.

He had gone to his room to sleep early, but for some reason couldn't fall asleep, so he thought he would go out and sit on the balcony for a while, and unexpectedly fell asleep on the balcony.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are Mom and Dad settled in?"

Lu Shi nodded, "Yes, it's right across from the hospital, making it convenient for them to visit Yao Yao."

Then, as she went to collect the clothes, she said, "Go back to your room and sleep; it's easy to catch a cold on the balcony."

Fu Cheng looked up at his wife and said, "I'm in good health."

However, despite saying that, he still obediently got up and started walking towards his room.

After taking two steps, he turned to look at Lu Shiyi and asked, "Am I that scary?"

He found it incredible that his wife was so frightened that she lost a shoe.

With my handsome face, I wouldn't be scary even without the lights on.

Lu Shiyi, holding the clothes she had just collected, turned to look at her husband and said, "You're not scary, it's me who's a little timid."

Fu Cheng hummed in agreement and went back to his room, satisfied.

After Lu Shiyi finished collecting the clothes, she also went into her room.

After what she just went through, she no longer had the mind to relax.

After returning to her room, she stared at the ceiling for a while before gradually becoming sleepy.

In contrast, Fu Cheng was much better off. Although he was woken up by his wife on the balcony, it did not affect his ability to go back to his room and fall asleep immediately.

The next morning, Lu Shiyi left home early.

When Fu Cheng got up, the room was empty.

Lu Shiyi left him a WeChat message: 'I'm heading out now. Breakfast is warming up in the kitchen.'

Fu Cheng understood that his wife had to manage the study room and also spend time with her parents, so she would probably be leaving early and returning late these next few days.

He went to the kitchen and brought out breakfast, then ate it alone, bored.

While eating, he pondered that his wife's constant running around couldn't go on, and as her husband, he felt he should do something about it.

Meanwhile, Lu Shiyi, having finished studying at the self-study room, is now on his way to his sister's apartment complex.

No matter what, my sister's in-laws must show up today, whether for Yao Yao's sake or to put my parents' minds at ease.

In the morning, she received a call from her parents saying that they had arrived at the hospital and that she didn't need to pick them up from the hotel. They told Lu Shiyi to focus on her own business and that Yao Yao's in-laws were enough to take care of Yao Yao by herself.

In the eyes of the two elders, there was no doubt that Yao Yao's husband or in-laws would come to the hospital to take care of her.

When Yao Yao got married, they were reluctant to part with her, but they were mostly happy. Their son-in-law was handsome, ambitious, and, most importantly, good to Yao Yao. Even her parents-in-law came all the way from their hometown to take care of her. Yao Yao had fallen into a lucky nest.

They were very pleased to learn that ordinary people can still be blessed as long as they are honest and do their jobs properly.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Shiyi, after hearing what her parents said, wanted to tell the truth several times, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.

This will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to them.

So she agreed to her parents' suggestion and went directly to her sister's apartment complex.

When Lu Shiyi arrived at her sister's house, only her parents-in-law were home.

When Li's mother opened the door and saw that it was Lu Shiyi, she was about to close the door with a dark face, but Lu Shiyi raised his hand to stop her.

"I came here to check if Li Haokai is home. If he's not, I'll just go to his company to find him. I know his company name, so I won't have trouble finding him."

Upon hearing this, Li's mother immediately stopped pushing the door open and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Shiyi's expression was indifferent. "Yaoyao just had surgery and is traumatized both physically and mentally. As her husband, it's only right that he go and see his wife, isn't it?"

Li's mother rolled her eyes. If Lu Shiyi really went to Akai's company and caused a scene, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

It's not worth jeopardizing your precious son's future with this worthless family.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Kai is at work and can't go, so it's the same if his dad and I go."

Lu Shiyi thought for a moment, "That's fine too."

Then, she looked up at the woman in front of her and said in a cold tone, "Yaoyao's emotions are still unstable, and my parents are not in good health either. If they are upset in any way, I don't mind going to Li Haokai's company to find him again."

Li's mother was so angry that her eyes widened. "Lu Shiyi, you, you..."

She wanted to retaliate in the same way, but she didn't know where Lu Shiyi's study room was located, or even where Lu Shiyi's husband worked, so she had no idea where to start.

Lu Shiyi sneered: "Don't glare at me. Aren't you all good at pretending? It's not difficult for you."

After saying that, she gave the woman a cold look and turned to leave.

Although her parents told her to focus on her own affairs and not to come to the hospital, she still went.

Not long after Lu Shiyi sat down in the ward, her in-laws left, feigning concern.

And just as she requested, Li's parents put on a very good act. Even the nurses in the ward were wondering why the family had suddenly changed their attitude and were treating their daughter-in-law so well.

Because there were senior caregivers available, the family members didn't need to do much. The parents-in-law sat in the ward for a while before making an excuse to go home.

The excuse was to give Yao Yao more time to spend alone with her biological parents.

As for the cost of hiring a high-end caregiver, the in-laws didn't dare to mention it once throughout the entire process...
