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

After the in-laws left, Lu's mother smiled and took her youngest daughter's hand, saying, "Yaoyao, Haokai hired this caregiver especially for you, right? Although he's too busy with work to come, he's very thoughtful."

Worried that her daughter would be disappointed because her husband didn't come, Lu's mother seemed to be asking, but actually wanted to comfort her.

Lu Shuyao forced a smile and remained silent.

Since she woke up, apart from seeing her in-laws once, she hasn't seen her husband at all, nor has she received a single caring phone call or text message.

As for paying for a caregiver, that was even more impossible. She knew how stingy her husband was with her; he was so frugal that he would even haggle over a cup of milk tea. How could he possibly spend money to hire a caregiver for her?

Lu Shuyao looked up at Lu Shiyi sitting not far away, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

Seeing this, Lu's mother assumed that her daughter was thinking about the lost baby and was saddened again.

As a mother herself, she knows all too well how painful it is for a woman to go through postpartum confinement without breastfeeding.

Lu's mother comforted her daughter again. Although she had said the same words many times before, that's how people are. Before they can truly let go and heal themselves, they sometimes understand and sometimes don't, constantly jumping between these two emotions.

All Lu's mother could do was try her best to comfort her daughter whenever she was sad or upset.

"Yaoyao, you're still young, you can have another baby. As long as you and your sister are safe, healthy and happy, that's our greatest comfort..."

…………

At this moment, Lu Shiyi, who was sitting not far away, was looking down at his phone.

She had done some research beforehand and found that hiring a caregiver at the hospital for half a month would cost around 10,000 yuan.

She had considered transferring the money directly to her husband via WeChat, but was unsure if this method would be too hurtful.

After all, her husband treated her like family, which is why he took the initiative to hire a caregiver to help ease her burden.

She felt really bad about accepting her husband's kindness, especially since it involved a considerable sum of money.

Especially considering that if the two of them ultimately fail to reciprocate their feelings and separate according to the agreement, the money involved will become even more complicated and difficult to resolve.

Therefore, Lu Shiyi decided to transfer the money into their family's bank account for daily expenses.

She immediately opened the bank's app and initiated the transfer.

Meanwhile, Fu Cheng, who was in a meeting at the company, noticed that the phone screen next to him lit up.

He glanced at it; it was a bank transaction notification.

Fu Cheng frowned slightly, his slender fingers swiping across the screen to open the text message.

It was the card he gave to his wife; the text message showed a deposit of .00.

Because all his cards were black cards, he specifically opened a regular bank account to hide his identity, and left his own phone number.

Therefore, he receives text messages whenever there are any changes in the account balance.

As if thinking of something, Fu Cheng frowned.

At this moment, a vice president, who was a few people away from Fu Cheng, was reporting on his work. While reporting, he kept an eye on his superior's expression so that he could adjust his reporting strategy and content accordingly.

As Fu Cheng's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, the vice president also became increasingly nervous. Even though he tried to adjust his reporting strategy several times, Fu Cheng's brow remained unfurrowed.

To the point that, in the end, even his reports became hesitant and stammering.

Finally, when he stammered so much that even he couldn't stand it anymore, he mustered up his courage and tentatively asked, "Mr. Fu, is there... is there a problem?"

Fu Cheng raised a brow slightly, glanced at her, and said calmly, "It's nothing, you can continue."

The vice president secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the slight sweat from his forehead, and then continued his report.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the vice president usually acts so imposingly in front of his employees; in front of his superiors, he is as cautious as if he were walking on thin ice.

It's often said that the higher your position, the more cautious you become, and that's absolutely true.

After the meeting, Fu Cheng sent a WeChat message to his wife.

"This is the card I deposit money into; you're responsible for spending it. Don't deposit any more money into it!"

He understood why his wife was transferring money to his account, but he didn't want to tell her directly not to be so formal. In short, he was unhappy.

He knew he was usually cold and distant towards his wife, but when she turned around and was just as distant towards him, he felt uncomfortable.

A few minutes after Fu Cheng sent the message, he received a reply from his wife.

'You're not a domineering CEO, and I'm not a pampered wife, let's be realistic and stop being so dramatic [smile].jpg'

Fu Cheng: "..."

He locked his phone with a wry smile, genuinely unsure of what to reply.

After sending a message to her husband, Lu Shiyi chatted with her parents and sister for a while before leaving the hospital.

On her way back to the study room, she passed a shopping mall, got out halfway and went in to browse for a while before taking a taxi back.

Soon, her busy day came to an end as she shuttled between the study room and the hospital.

When Lu Shiyi returned home in the evening, her husband had not yet come home from get off work.

She placed the shopping bags on the table in the entryway and then went to tidy up the house.

These past two days, she has been shuttling between home, the study room, and the hospital, leaving her with little free time to do housework.

Nanshi is a strange city. The air quality seems good, but if the house isn't cleaned for a day, a thin layer of dust will appear. Nobody knows where that dust comes from.

After wiping the table and cabinets, Lu Shiyi mopped the floor until the whole room looked neat and clean. Only then did she feel satisfied and prepare to wash up.

At this moment, Fu Cheng returned.

As soon as he entered, he noticed the shopping bags on the table, which were clearly men's clothing bags.

His tense, handsome face instantly relaxed a lot.

Seeing his wife holding a towel, preparing to go into the second bedroom, he took the initiative to ask, "Going to sleep so early?"

Lu Shiyi stopped and glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's getting late, it's already past eleven."

Fu Cheng changed into slippers and walked into the living room. He glanced around the room and said, "The room is really clean today. Did you just clean it?"

Lu Shiyi replied, "Yeah, I didn't have much to do when I got back, so I just cleaned up a bit."

While his wife was speaking, Fu Cheng had already walked over to the sofa and sat down, showing no intention of resting at all.

Normally, after he gets off work, he goes straight to wash up and go to bed.

As Lu Shiyi finished speaking and was about to continue walking towards the second bedroom, she heard her husband ask again, "Those flowers are really beautiful, did you change them today?"

Lu Shiyi turned to look at the flowers on the table and replied, "I bought them on my way back today from a flower shop. The others were almost wilted."

As she spoke, she looked at her husband on the sofa with a puzzled expression. She felt that he was acting a little strange today, as if he had suddenly become more talkative.

After a moment of silence, Lu Shiyi asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Fu Cheng replied almost instantly, "No."

Then, his gaze swept directly to the shopping bags by the door, and he asked, "Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Lu Shiyi followed the gaze and finally understood what was going on.

She walked to the door, picked up the shopping bag, looked at her husband on the sofa, and tried to suppress a laugh.

"So you went through all that trouble just to remind me of this??"
