After discussing the matter of having a child, Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an reached an agreement to not have a child for the time being and continue enjoying their life together as a couple. However, Ruan Xia ended up getting pregnant, and now that it already happened, she decided to give birth.

Although Fu Cheng’an said he didn’t want a child for the time being, he couldn’t remain indifferent at this point. Ruan Xia felt like she had become a waste… Because Fu Cheng’an seemed to be doing everything for her, even when she wanted to get out of bed in the morning, he helped by supporting her waist.

Ruan Xia : “….”

As a newly pregnant woman whose belly wasn’t showing yet, Ruan Xia didn’t know what Fu Cheng’an was going to do in the future. Would he have to princess-carry her around every day?

That night, after returning from her in-laws’ house, perhaps because they were discussing the issue of having a boy or a girl, Ruan Xia suddenly asked Fu Cheng’an if he wanted a boy or a girl. When she asked this question, Ruan Xia already knew the answer. Fu Cheng’an definitely didn’t have a preference, as he still didn’t want to have children at this time.

Fù Chéng’ān touched her hair and confirmed her thoughts, saying “I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. As long as you’re not stressed out, that’s all that matters.”

Ruan Xia was stunned and her eyes became a little moist, probably due to her pregnancy. She said, “Are you annoying me on purpose? Why are you saying this?”

Fu Cheng’an said, “I really just don’t want to trouble you. I married you because I want to marry you, and I want to have this child, because I married you…” Seeing that Ruan Xia was still a bit emotional, he quickly apologized. “Wrong, I was wrong, okay? Do you prefer a boy or a girl? If you prefer a boy, then I hope it’s a boy. If you prefer a girl, then I hope it’s a girl. Is that okay?”

It took a while for Ruan Xia to say, “I also want to have this child because I married you.”

---

During Ruan Xia’s pregnancy, she was originally not nervous, but later because Ruan Xia’s belly began to show, Fu Cheng’an became more and more nervous, and Ruan Xia followed suit, always calling out “Hubby” at the slightest thing. Later, they even moved to a house near Fu Cheng’an’s company, so that it was convenient for Fu Cheng’an to come back and have lunch with her, or for Ruan Xia to go find Fu Cheng’an.

Aunt Sun sighed, saying that Ruan Xia really married the right person.

Aunt Sun thought that such a man was really rare.

Before, Ruan Xia was happy to hear such praise, but now she just nodded in agreement, thinking that her Hubby is indeed good.

One day, while having lunch in Fu Cheng’an’s office, they saw a message from Jiang Hao in the group saying that he had won back his fiancée.

[Jiang Hao : Brother Fu is amazing!]

[Jiang Hao : I’ll follow in Brother Fu’s footsteps.]

[Jiang Hao : Although I can’t compare to Brother, I will continue to work hard in the future.]

[Ruan Xia : ….]

Ruan Xia : “Hubby~”

Fu Cheng’an hugged her and asked, “What’s wrong, wife?”

Ruan Xia replied, “Today is also a day I’m happy I married you!”

Whispering in her ear, Fu Cheng’an replied, “Today is also a a day I’m happy I married you.”

Finally, she lay in Fu Cheng’an’s arms, laughing uncontrollably, feeling so lucky to have him.

rokumi’s note : it’s oveerrr!!

Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an are known as the sweetest couple in the wealthy circle. They show affection for each other so often that it’s hard to miss. It’s not deliberate, and netizens can easily find their sweet moments.

When Ruan Xia won the Best Newcomer Award for her first movie, Fu Cheng’an was also present at the awards ceremony, gazing at her the whole time with an incredibly soft expression. Although Ruan Xia wasn’t as expressive as Fu Cheng’an, she would smile and even look a bit coy when she saw him.

This was their second year of marriage.

After the awards ceremony, it was revealed that they had held a grand wedding a month ago. Fu Cheng’an personally designed Ruan Xia’s wedding dress and their wedding rings. However, the wedding was very low-key, and they didn’t allow the media to disturb them. They went on their honeymoon together and returned only when Ruan Xia had to attend the awards ceremony.

The online rumors were true. Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an really did have a grand wedding.

After the wedding, Ruan Xia faced a new problem – her in-laws brought up the topic of having children. Due to her family background, Ruan Xia wanted a child very much, and she wasn’t unhappy about it. Of course, her in-laws weren’t close-minded people, and they didn’t mean to force Ruan Xia to have children. They simply offered to help take care of the child if Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an had one in the future.

After the awards ceremony, Ruan Xia lay in bed wearing a dress worth several million yuan and handed her sapphire bracelet to Fu Cheng’an without wanting to move at all.

She was even more beautiful today than usual, and Fu Cheng’an couldn’t resist anymore. When he approached her, Ruan Xia blocked him with her hand and said, “Hubby, I was thinking, since I have some free time lately, should we have a child?”

It took a while for Fu Cheng’an to ask, “Do we have to have a child?”

Ruan Xia : “???”

Ruan Xia had never known that Fu Cheng’an had no intention of having children. He couldn’t possibly dislike children, so Ruan Xia looked puzzled.

Fu Cheng’an asked Ruan Xia several questions about this.

“After having a child, will you love the child more than me? Will I just be a tool after having a child?”
“If possible, can we wait a little longer before having children?”
“I will always choose you over the child. Can you do the same?”

Ruan Xia : “………”

At this moment, Ruan Xia held his face seriously and told him, “Because I love you, I want to have a child with you. But since you have this idea, let’s wait a little longer.”

Fu Cheng’an : “Wifey, I knew it, you love me the most.”

The two of them were being lovey-dovey, saying things to each other, looking very happy.

To congratulate Ruan Xia on winning an award, Jiang Hao and the others all transferred money to her. The next day, Ruan Xia, who was obsessed with money, treated them to a meal, but of course, it was paid for by her husband, Mr. Fu. As Mr. Fu put it, it made no difference.

Looking at the couple, Zhou Yu sighed, “Who would have thought that you were such a Mr. Fu?”

Fu Cheng’am : “What? Is being kind to your wife related to being Mr. Fu?” Then he turned to Ruan Xia and asked, “Should we go back now, or go shopping at the supermarket for a while?”

Since Ruan Xia likes to buy snacks, Mr. Fu often accompanies her on supermarket trips.

Ruan Xia : “Hmm, let’s go to the supermarket.”

Fu Cheng’an : “Okay.”

As Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an went out together, Jiang Hao marveled at them. If he had half of Fu Cheng’an’s abilities, he would probably be married by now.

Zhou Yu seemed to understand Jiang Hao’s thoughts and said, “It’s not about ability, it’s because they love each other too much.”

Jiang Hao opened his mouth to speak but ended up just smiling wryly.

When Ruan Xia met Fu Cheng’an’s family, she also met the male lead, who was Fu Cheng’an’s younger brother. He had a very arrogant and rebellious look, but it had nothing to do with Ruan Xia or Fu Cheng’an. Fu Cheng’an really had no time to care about who his brother was dating, as long as her character was good and his brother liked her.

There was even one time when Ruan Xia overheard the male lead telling Fu Cheng’an that he had broken up with someone, and Fu Cheng’an made fun of him for it.

Then Fu Cheng’an said his classic quote, “Our personalities are different, so I have a wife, and you still have face in front of your girlfriend, no, your ex-girlfriend.”

Ruan Xia was speechless and looked up at the sky. She felt that the love story of the male and female leads might not only have no villain disturbing them, but even has an assisting character.

The male lead said, “Brother, I think you’ve changed.”

Fu Cheng’an : “Hmm.” He glanced at Ruan Xia and said, “Because of love.”

Fu Cheng’an : “Is there anything else? Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing important.”

Male lead : “…”

Ruan Xia laughed and sang, “Because of love, how can there be any vicissitudes~”

The two of them smiled at each other and hugged on the terrace.

Ruan Xia said, “Fu Cheng’an, meeting you is really, really, really… unbeatably good.”

Fu Cheng’an replied, “Wifey, meeting you is really, really, really… lucky.”

Jiang Hao’s pursuit of his fiancee had become something like a TV drama to Ruan Xia. Unfortunately, Jiang Hao’s fiancee was resolute, and he still hadn’t won her over. Jiang Hao had even asked Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an for advice, but experiences varied from person to person. Jiang Hao had hurt his fiancee’s feelings, while Ruan Xia had wanted to run away on her own, but stayed because she was moved by Fu Cheng’an.

One day, after Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an attended a party, Ruan Xia brought up the topic of when she had wanted to run away.

Ruan Xia : “What were you thinking when I left?”

At this moment, Ruan Xia couldn’t remember anymore, how long had it taken for Fu Cheng’an to go out after she had revealed the truth? And how long had it taken for him to come back? She had been thinking about her new life, pretending to be nonchalant, and even hoped that Fu Cheng’an would forgive her. But she found it laughable, why should Fu Cheng’an forgive her?

They walked hand in hand on the street, feeling the summer breeze blowing. Fu Cheng’an said, “I’m thinking how great it is that you still remember me. In the beginning, you wanted to marry me, didn’t you?”

Ruan Xia smiled, “And then what? You came back with a black card to find me? Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

Fu Cheng’an : “I was only worried that even if I have money, you still won’t like me.”

Ruan Xia : “…..”

---

On the day Ruan Xia joined the film crew, when she was getting ready to leave, she was completely stunned. Aunt Sun had packed ten large suitcases for her, and two nanny cars had been arranged, along with a driver, an assistant, and a professional chef. Even Aunt Sun herself was going to go with them to take care of Ruan Xia. For a moment, Ruan Xia felt like she wasn’t going to work, but rather experiencing life.

At first, Ruan Xia just wanted to earn a salary, but now it seemed that her salary wasn’t even enough to cover the cost of a meal.

Ruan Xia : “Hubby, is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? When I worked as your secretary before, you didn’t do this. You even gave me a lot of work to do during the weekends.”

Fu Cheng’an actually remembered this. He did give Ruan Xia some work to do back then, so she could learn how to be a good secretary and at least understand some basic things. But Fu Cheng’an didn’t expect things to turn out like this today. There was no need to explain it to Ruan Xia. If he did, his wife would probably leave him.

Fu Cheng’an: “Hmm, my fault.”

Ruan Xia raised an eyebrow, “Where did you go wrong, Hubby? Are you just brushing me off? Wuwuwu.”

Fu Cheng’an : “I really made a mistake. If I knew what would happen in the future, I would have taken advantage of the time you were my secretary to have an office romance with you.”

Ruan Xia lightly pushed him, and Fu Cheng’an gently kissed her hand.

Aunt Sun watched the couple and couldn’t help but smile. “Madam, we can set off now.”

Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an were being affectionate, holding each other and whispering sweet nothings. Ruan Xia told Fu Cheng’an that she would message him when she finished work, and Fu Cheng’an told Ruan Xia that he would report to her when he came back. They lingered for more than ten minutes before Ruan Xia decided to get on the nanny car. But Fu Cheng’an pulled her back into his arms.

Fu Cheng’an said, “How about I build a film and television city here in Yanjing? It would be convenient for you to commute.”

Ruan Xia : “……”

On the set, Ruan Xia met I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother, as well as her younger brother and uncle. They all treated Ruan Xia very kindly, especially I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother, who was a face control. Whenever Ruan Xia was free, he couldn’t help but stick to her and talk to her. Their friendship developed at rocket speed.

There was a post on the online forum about a rich lady who came to the set to experience life, which became very popular and even made it to the hot search on Weibo.

The whistleblower revealed that a small actor came to the set to play a role that only lasted a few seconds, but she came with a driver, assistant, chef, and aunt, and they arrived in two nanny cars worth millions of dollars. The director and assistant director of the drama treated her very well, and when she had just finished shooting a scene, she even moved the director’s niece to tears, applauded her, and even wanted to stick close to her.

[Oh my god, I’m so envious.]

[What kind of amazing life is this?]

[The key is that she’s really too good-looking, right?]

[Wah, wife, wife, look at me, I also want to hug you.]

[This is my wife, my wife!]

When Ruan Xia and I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother finished supper together and returned to the hotel, Ruan Xia learned about the hot search. When she saw the hot search, it had already exploded. Because Fu Cheng’an forwarded the Weibo of the blogger who revealed the news, and only replied with two words, “My Wifey.”

Netizens : Winner of life, enough said.

Originally, they were just envious of Ruan Xia’s good looks and wealth, but it turned out that she also had a handsome and possessive husband. After Fu Cheng’an forwarded the Weibo, he also replied to several comments from netizens, all of which called Ruan Xia his wife. A simple emoticon was enough to explain everything. Yes, he was jealous, so he made it public.

It was only at this moment that Ruan Xia realized that something was off. According to reason, if she forgot to message Fu Cheng’an, it would be fine, but he came back without sending her a message. When she thought about Fu Cheng’an’s forwarded Weibo on the internet, Ruan Xia knew. Fu Cheng’an didn’t send a message, she didn’t either.

That night, Ruan Xia was still awake when Aunt Sun told her that Fu Cheng’an had come over.

Aunt Sun sent a voice message to Ruan Xia saying, “Mr. Fu is here, let me tell you quietly.”

Ruan Xia : “Okay, Aunt Sun, I got it!”

Aunt Sun exclaimed, “You and Mr. Fu have such a good relationship. Since Mr. Fu wants to surprise you, you can also give him a surprise.”

That was why Aunt Sun sent a message to Ruan Xia, but unfortunately, she didn’t know why Fu Cheng’an came over, and still wanted to make their relationship even better.

When Fu Cheng’an arrived, Ruan Xia opened the door and they saw each other. Fu Cheng’an didn’t speak, but started kissing her and then apologizing to her in her ear.

Ruan Xia: “……”

Great, her husband has mastered another skill of apologizing.

Fu Cheng’an said, “Wifey, don’t be angry. I just saw so many people calling you ‘wife’ online, and I wasn’t happy. You are just my wife, so I posted on Weibo publicly. Don’t be angry, okay? I will start an entertainment company for you, invest in your films, and you can act in whatever you want. How about that?”

Ruan Xia looked at Fu Cheng’an with eyes full of tenderness and asked, “Really?”

Fu Cheng’an : “Of course it’s true.”

As expected, this was like a sweet and romantic novel, with a husband even better than an ideal one.

Ruan Xia didn’t mind going public with their relationship, and she even liked it, but she still wanted to tease him a bit. “Can I act in kissing scenes with young actors?”

The next day, when the sky was still dim, Ruan Xia fell asleep with her pillow, thinking to herself that she shouldn’t provoke Fu Cheng’an in the future. This man was really like a villain from a novel.

Fu Cheng’an asked, “Do you still want to act, Wifey?”

Ruan Xia : “……”

---

When Fu Cheng’an posted his marriage certificate on his social media, it shocked many people. There were rumors before that Fu Cheng’an was keeping a mistress in a golden house, but now he has clarified this rumor by sharing his marriage certificate, and it looks like he has a great relationship with his wife.

When Jiang Hao was rejected by his fiancee again, he saw Fu Cheng’an’s post on social media and was completely stunned. They were both pursuing their wives, but how come there was such a big gap between them? What was the difference?

He wanted to meet up with Fu Cheng’an, but he didn’t want to disturb him at this moment, so he sent him a message instead.

[Jiang Hao : Brother, how did you do it?]

[Fu Cheng’an : Didn’t Zhou Yu tell you?]

[Jiang Hao : I have no shame left, but it’s no use. My fiancee still wants to break up with me.]

[Jiang Hao: ……….]

Holding his phone, Jiang Hao couldn’t figure out how shameless Fu Cheng’an was in order to be so far ahead in pursuing his wife. Were other people’s children also excellent at pursuing their wives?

---

Even Ruan Xia didn’t expect that she would get married to Fu Cheng’an just like that. At this moment, Ruan Xia felt that she was lucky to have met Fu Cheng’an. As for the future, since she was willing to marry Fu Cheng’an, it meant that even if they might divorce or face any problems in the future, she would not regret her decision.

However, deep down, Ruan Xia truly believed that she and Fu Cheng’an could be together forever.

Now Ruan Xia needed to solve another problem, “Fu Cheng’an, can you get off me and stop holding me?”

Fu Cheng’an gently kissed her, “Just for a little while.”

Ruan Xia : “…….”

He was really clingy.

Ruan Xia : “Fu Cheng’an, you’re too clingy. How am I supposed to work like this? How are you supposed to work like this? We need to set some ground rules…”

Ruan Xia stumbled a bit, never feeling so absurd before. According to her personality, she should have discussed the ground rules with Fu Cheng’an before they got married, not after they received their marriage certificate.

It was really ridiculous.

Ruan Xia snuggled up in Fu Cheng’an’s arms, “Hubby~”

Fu Cheng’an couldn’t help but laugh, he made a soft “mmm” sound, “I’ll let go.”

Ruan Xia looked up at his clear jawline and couldn’t help tracing it with her fingertips, “No, you have to listen to me in the future.”

Fu Cheng’an held Ruan Xia’s hand, his voice a bit hoarse, “I’m listening!”

---

When Ruan Xia went to work with Fu Cheng’an at Fu Corporation again, she learned that the treatment for Mrs. Fu could be even higher. Because Fu Cheng’an gave Ruan Xia shares in the Fu Group, if she wanted to, she could appear at Fu Corporation’s meetings.

Maybe the previous Ruan Xia would have been interested in these things, but now she was not interested at all. She just wanted to rest. She had never thought that the husband she chose would be so physically fit that it made her heart tremble. She even began to look forward to working on a film set.

Ruan Xia and I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother were chatting. They had known each other for a long time and didn’t pay too much attention to each other’s information. Ruan Xia knew a lot about her and I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother knew a lot about Ruan Xia too. When she found out that Ruan Xia was going to work on a film set, she was very surprised because her younger brother was also in the entertainment industry and was currently filming with his uncle on a film set. As they continued talking, they realized that the film set Ruan Xia was going to was the same one where the younger brother of the tall handsome guy was working as an assistant director.

When Fu Cheng’an returned to the office, he heard Ruan Xia’s voice chatting.

“Your brother is the assistant director of the film set?”

“Really, what a coincidence.”
“When the time comes, I’ll come to visit the set and have my uncle and younger brother take care of you.”

In the evening, Ruan Xia noticed that Fu Cheng’an was acting a bit strange, particularly in that he was reading entertainment news. At first, Ruan Xia thought that Fu Cheng’an was interested in the entertainment industry, but then she began to wonder if he was planning to start his own entertainment company, as it was often portrayed in novels.

Before going to bed, Ruan Xia couldn’t help but ask him, “You suddenly seem interested in the entertainment industry. Why is that?”

Fu Cheng’an was lying face to face with her and said, “Want to hear the truth?”

Ruan Xia pinched his cheeks and said, “Of course, I want to hear my Gege’s truth, but I don’t know if you’re willing to tell me.” She looked like she was about to cry, as if she would be disappointed if Fu Cheng’an didn’t tell her.

Fu Cheng’an said, “I heard you talking to someone on the phone today.”

“And then?”

“There are a lot of good-looking people in the entertainment industry.”

“…..”

Ruan Xia began to reflect on herself. She realized that she did not give a sense of security to Fu Cheng’an like this. There are a lot of good-looking people in the entertainment industry, and there are even more of them at the banquets that Fu Cheng’an attends.

This night began with two people pouring their hearts out to each other……

---

Having spent a long time with Ruan Xia, Aunt Sun felt that even if Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an could be together, it wouldn’t be a big deal. She thought Ruan Xia was beautiful, had a great personality, and loved Fu Cheng’an. But if Fu Cheng’an didn’t fall for her, he might just be single for the rest of his life.

As a result, every time Chu Feng went back home, Aunt Sun would wonder why there was such a big difference between two people with the same love-brain.

Chu Feng invited Ruan Xia to dinner, and they maintained a friendly relationship as friends and game partners. Sometimes, Ruan Xia would even be Chu Feng’s emotional counselor. Unfortunately, Chu Feng didn’t seem to have any plans for a relationship at the moment, and was focused on his career.

Chu Feng had visited Fu Corporation a few days ago and met the aloof Fu Cheng’an, so he was really curious how Ruan Xia had managed to win his heart. He humbly asked for advice.

Ruan Xia thought for a while and said, “Maybe he was willing to be hooked?”

Fu Cheng’an, who came to pick up Ruan Xia and overheard her words, paused and said, “Because of love.”

Ruan Xia : “……”

Ruan Xia laughed and leaned on the table. Fu Cheng’an asked, “Isn’t that right?”

Ruan Xia : “Yes, yes, yes, because of love!”

On the way back, Ruan Xia took Fu Cheng’an to buy a CD. After all, Because of Love, if the song¹ wasn’t playing in the car when Fu Cheng’an picked her up in the future, she would not be happy.

Chapter 28 – Finale (2)

Ruan Xia blushed because of Fu Cheng’an’s words, “You get up and let’s talk.”

Fu Cheng’an : “If you call me Hubby, I will get up.”

Ruan Xia : “……”

She decided to give up and didn’t call him so. She tightly pursed her lips, but Fu Cheng’an didn’t get up. He even continued to kiss her, and she covered her mouth. Then Fu Cheng’an’s kiss fell on the back of her hand.

Fu Cheng’an spoke softly, “Wifey, if you don’t call me Hubby, I can’t get up. If I get up, you won’t admit it.”

Ruan Xia : “I admit it, get up, get up!”

Fu Cheng’an laughed, and she realized what he meant. She needed to call him Hubby before he was willing to get up, and this was also considered as her admitting it.

Ruan Xia smiled, “Hubby, can you get up now?”

Fu Cheng’an : “Okay.”

This was like breaking through all of Ruan Xia’s previous understanding of Fu Cheng’an. She ignored him and did her own thing, and Fu Cheng’an didn’t say anything, but was focused on accompanying her.

Then the system beeped again.

Ruan Xia : “……”

System : “Host, I’m awake!”

Before, Ruan Xia had wanted to communicate with the system, but now she just felt upset. The system’s awakening only reminded Ruan Xia that Fu Cheng’an was the villain. If she allowed him to continue like this, she didn’t know what would happen.

The moment Ruan Xia felt soft-hearted towards Fu Cheng’an, she felt that something was wrong.

No, she couldn’t be the wife of a villain!

Ruan Xia : “To be honest with you, I didn’t lose my memory, I just wanted to climb the social ladder!”

System, who had just awakened : “???”

What is she talking about? What is she doing?

Ruan Xia : “Fu Cheng’an, listen carefully. I just wanted to climb the social ladder, but you said you loved me. I felt guilty and uneasy, and I don’t want to continue like this. This is just a scam, do you understand?” Her voice grew louder as she spoke.

Ruan Xia : “I just want money, a stable marriage and future, not because I like you.”

After saying it out loud, even Ruan Xia laughed, wiping her tears. Fu Cheng’an didn’t need to act this way. If he didn’t, Ruan Xia wouldn’t have to face her own guilt. The more humble Fu Cheng’an was, the more upset she became.

Fu Cheng’an didn’t speak for a long time. Ruan Xia knew that it was just like this between the two of them. She talked to the system in her heart, asking if it could help her and if she could choose another script, maybe one where she could be a big star in the entertainment industry.

Finally, Fu Cheng’an spoke, “So, you remember me. You didn’t have mixed memories when you said you liked me before.”

Ruan Xia : “Yes, Fu Cheng’an, you can go back now. Don’t come find me again. There’s no possibility between us.”

But Fu Cheng’an stubbornly insisted, “You like me.”

Ruan Xia didn’t answer his question. “I told you, I was lying to you from the beginning!”

---

When the room fell silent, Ruan Xia wiped her tears again. Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her emotions. She wanted to live her own life and there was nothing wrong with that. She would also get the life she wanted in the future.

System : “Host.”

Ruan Xia : “Hmm, System, let’s work hard and make money in the future.”

System : “No, it’s true that he is the villain, but he is not the villain in the no-CP novel. He is the villain older brother in another wealthy Cinderella pet novel. He does not believe in love and tries to prevent the male and female lead from being together. In the end, he does not support the male and female lead and thinks that the female lead is too far apart from his younger brother. That means if you successfully conquer him, but still want to have the script of being a top star in the entertainment industry and holding onto a wealthy husband who doesn’t come home, it’s also possible.”

Ruan Xia : “….”

System : “Host, I’m sorry. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for your life after transmigration! How about a script where you become a top female star in the entertainment industry with endless glory and fan madness?”

Hearing what the system said, Ruan Xia should feel regretful, but now she doesn’t seem to have any regretful emotions. She is really worried that she will feel guilty, maybe because Fu Cheng’an’s love is too hot, making Ruan Xia overwhelmed.

While Ruan Xia was discussing future career plans with the system, Fu Cheng’an came over. Ruan Xia received a message from Fu Cheng’an containing only two words: “Open door.”

Ruan Xia looked at the man outside the door, but before she could say anything. Fu Cheng’an gave her a black card and a check.

Fu Cheng’an : “The company’s share contract is already in preparation.”

Ren Xia said angrily, “Do you know what you’re doing?”

Fu Cheng’an nodded, “I’m proposing to you.”

Ruan Xia : “I lied to you.”

Fu Cheng’an : “But, you remember me, don’t you? Your guilt is because you have some feelings for me, right? If you don’t like me, you can just marry me and live the life you want. You don’t have to say anything. Look, I forgive you, and if you marry me, you can get what you want.” He held Ruan Xia’s face and asked her, “Wifey, is that okay?”

Perhaps, it’s never about marriage or love that was wrong. It’s about entrusting someone with your lifetime. Ruan Xia didn’t know if she could trust Fu Cheng’an’s forever now, but she had the urge to enter into marriage with him.

System : “Host, I can help you check his feelings for you. We, the system, will be responsible for your life.”

Ruan Xia : “Fu Cheng’an, I’m willing to marry you.”

She didn’t need the system to tell her how much Fu Cheng’an liked her. She was willing to marry him, and even if it was a mistake, she would accept it.

Fu Cheng’an hugged her tightly, exerting a lot of force. The two of them stood there embracing each other.

Ruan Xia whispered in his ear, “Fu Cheng’an, you are the first person I truly like, and I’m willing to trust you once.”

Fu Cheng’an’s voice was hoarse, “Wifey, I don’t believe in love, but I love you.”

rokumi’s note : the main story ends here.

Chapter 27 – Finale (1)

Since it started with mixed memories, it can end with memory loss. There’s no need to look for a reason to break up now that things are back to normal.

When she arrived at the entrance of the Fu’s Group building, Ruan Xia should have hailed a taxi and left, but she hesitated for a moment and turned around to take a glance.

Ruan Xia has always known what she wants. Even if Fu Cheng’an was just the wrong person, it would be fine, and she would be satisfied with just being with him. But if Fu Cheng’an turned out to be a cannon fodder villain… Ruan Xia couldn’t accompany him.

Shaking her head vigorously, Ruan Xia didn’t allow herself to continue thinking about it. Her life cannot be like that of her parents, and she couldn’t let Fu Cheng’an drag her down. Even if they had feelings for each other, they might end up being completely different in the end, right?

Ruan Xia turned around and continued to leave.

---

In Fu Cheng’an’s office, Assistant Chen wanted to kneel down for him. He had never seen Mr. Fu like this before. It was as if he had torn apart his usual calm demeanor, revealing a terrifying and cold side of him.

At this moment, Assistant Chen regretted coming to work early today, and meeting Ruan Xia, who had regained her memory but forgotten his boss, Mr. Fu.

Fu Cheng’an : “Where is she now?”

Assistant Chen : “She has gone back to the rental house where she used to live.”

Fu Cheng’an’s voice was strained, “Give me the address.”

Jiang Hao came over, looking less enthusiastic and even a bit annoyed, “Brother Fu, my fiancee refuses to acknowledge our relationship. What should I do?”

Fu Cheng’an : “My wife ran away.”

Jiang Hao opened his mouth to say something but before he could, Fu Cheng’an continued, “She doesn’t know me anymore.”

For a moment, Jiang Hao felt like his own problems were nothing compared to this. At least his fiancee still recognized him.

When Fu Cheng’an saw Zhou Yu, even Zhou Yu was surprised and opened his mouth wide. He didn’t expect Ruan Xia to actually forget about Fu Cheng’an.

Zhou Yu : “I asked Ruan Xia about this before, and she told me that even if she forgot about you, she would still like you if you appeared in front of her.”

Although Zhou Yu couldn’t quite remember Ruan Xia’s exact words, what he said was what Ruan Xia had meant to express at the time. Fu Cheng’an was the type of person that Ruan Xia liked, so even if she couldn’t remember him, she would still like him if he appeared in front of her.

Zhou Yu wanted to comfort Fu Cheng’an, but he realized that Fu Cheng’an was strangely calm now.

Zhou Yu : “What are you planning to do?”

The tremble in Fu Cheng’an’s voice was noticeable to Zhou Yu. “Originally, we were planning to get married and get a marriage certificate.”

Zhou Yu : “Fight for it. Do you know the ultimate secret to winning your wife back?”

Fu Cheng’an looked up, and Jiang Hao was practically sticking his face to Zhou Yu’s, clearly very curious about what Zhou Yu was about to say.

Zhou Yu : “Be shameless. The more shameless you are, the more likely you are to succeed. Brother Fu, you didn’t make any fundamental mistakes, so there’s no need to kneel in the rain and beg her to see you. You just need to be shameless!”

Jiang Hao nodded in agreement on the issue of principle, so he had to kneel in the rain and let the woman soften her heart.

Jiang Hao asked, “Why do you have this kind of secret?”

Zhou Yu : “Don’t worry about why, but it’s definitely effective. Maybe she’ll soften up. Brother Fu, trust me. Don’t hesitate, you have to choose between your wife and your dignity. Think as if you have regarded sister-in-law as your wife!”

Jiang Hao : “How shameless!”

Zhou Yu : “….”

When Fu Cheng’an left, Zhou Yu glanced at Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao believed in being shameless, but Zhou Yu wasn’t sure if Fu Cheng’an could really be shameless.

However, regardless of that, Zhou Yu felt that it was impressive that Ruan Xia could make Fu Cheng’an act this way.

Jiang Hao : “Are you talking about me?”

Zhou Yu : “You don’t need to ask, you already know.”

To avoid letting people know about her fake amnesia, Ruan Xia hardly replied to any messages from people she had met during this period, except for one online acquaintance I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother.

Ruan Xia was anxious and wanted to talk to someone about this, but she didn’t know who to talk to. Although I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother was a netizen, Ruan Xia was usually very cautious and wouldn’t confide in her.

The best solution would be to talk to the system, but it was currently in sleep mode.

What should she do now? She had slept with an old man who had never had a girlfriend before and had even expressed his feelings to her. Even if she had amnesia, Fu Cheng’an would definitely look for her and try to help her regain her memory, right?

Impossible. This memory is something she can’t recall.

She waited until evening and finally received a call from Fu Cheng’an. This made Ruan Xia who was waiting for a whole day felt even more at a loss.

Ruan Xia hung up, as if refusing to answer calls from unknown numbers.

Fu Cheng’an transferred money to her.

Ruan Xia : “……..”

Ruan Xia almost fainted when she saw the string of zeroes on her phone, and even had the impulse to go down and meet Fu Cheng’an for a moment.

But what would be the end result of following the villain? Would she end up eating humble pie with the villain?

Or would he end up in jail?

Ruan Xia calmed down and sent a message to Fu Cheng’an.

[Ruan Xia : Sir, please don’t joke around with me or your friends. I’m not married and haven’t even had a boyfriend. How could I have a husband?]

[Fu Cheng’an : Selfie.]

[Ruan Xia : ???]

[Fu Cheng’an : It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, we can start again.]

What kind of outrageous development is this?

Ruan Xia felt like she didn’t know Fu Cheng’an anymore. It’s a completely different personality from the previously cold Fu Cheng’an. She even doubted if it was really him who sent that message.

Ruan Xia waited nervously for Fu Cheng’an to continue, but it seemed that after sending the message, Fu Cheng’an didn’t have any intention of contacting her further. He was probably too tired. Ruan Xia fell asleep in bed.

Ruan Xia wasn’t particularly worried about Fu Cheng’an. Someone like Fu Cheng’an probably had already reached his bottom line when he sent the message, right?

The next morning, Ruan Xia felt very relaxed, especially when there was no message from Fu Cheng’an on her phone. She washed her face and went out to buy breakfast. When she walked out of the corridor, she was stunned.

Fu Cheng’an was standing outside, looking tired. His car was parked nearby. Ruan Xia had a thought, could he have been here all night?

Fu Cheng’an : “Wifey.”

Ruan Xia : “…”

Fu Cheng’an pursed his lips. “Chu~ My dear Wifey.”

Ruan Xia felt like she might not be fully awake. She even suspected that she might be dreaming, as she heard the term “Chu~ My dear Wifey.”

Ruan Xia : “I don’t know you, please don’t do this.”

As Fu Cheng’an took a step forward, Ruan Xia realized that he was wearing the outfit he had on the day they were together. This was something that wouldn’t happen normally, and even the shirt inside the outfit was still upstairs.

Fu Cheng’an : “Are you going to buy breakfast? I’ll buy it for you.” He continued, “I was thinking about going just now, but I was worried that I would miss you if you went downstairs.”

Ruan Xia felt a sense of discomfort in her chest, and she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She opened her mouth, but realized she didn’t know what to say.

Ruan Xia : “I really don’t know you.”

Fu Cheng’an’s eyes reddened. “My name is Fu Cheng’an. Before you lost your memory, we agreed to go and get our marriage certificate. It’s okay if you don’t remember me. We can start over.”

Ruan Xia steeled herself. “I’m sorry, please don’t joke around, and please don’t disturb me anymore.”

Ruan Xia went to buy breakfast, and Fu Cheng’an followed her. The two of them arrived at the breakfast stand. When Ruan Xia was about to pay, she found that Fu Cheng’an had already paid for it.

Before this, Ruan Xia never thought that Fu Cheng’an would be like this, nor did she ever think about it, but now Fu Cheng’an is gradually breaking her cognition.

The two of them walked forward, one in front of the other.

Ruan Xia : “I heard that you’re very powerful and wealthy.”

Fu Cheng’an : “It’s so so.”

Ruan Xia : “…….”

This is really too modest. What does “so so” even mean?

Ruan Xia : “Your friend messaged me and told me about what happened during this time, but the me who had mixed memories only saw you and me as characters in the script, so maybe I never loved you.” She stopped and turned around to look at Fu Cheng’an. “So, do you understand what I mean?”

Fu Cheng’an : “But I love you.”

Ruan Xia: “No, what you love is the me who had mixed memories, not the me now.” She tried to tell Fu Cheng’an that the Ruan Xia he liked was not the same as the current Ruan Xia. “It’s like the person you like is a completely different person from me.”

Upon hearing Ruan Xia’s words, Fu Cheng’an finally smiled from yesterday until now, “Wifey, it’s all the same, yesterday’s you and today’s you, aren’t they the same person?”

Ruan Xia : “I’m too lazy to talk to you. Just don’t bother me anymore.”

Fu Cheng’an grabbed Ruan Xia’s hand. “Wifey, I feel uncomfortable. I didn’t sleep all night yesterday and now I’m very hungry.”

A dozen minutes later, the “poor” Mr. Fu sat in Ruan Xia’s living room, eating breakfast with her. Ruan Xia regretted why she was so soft-hearted.

Ruan Xia : “Listen to me. After breakfast, you should go back. You really don’t have to be like this…”

When Mr. Fu leaned in for a kiss, Ruan Xia didn’t even react. He held Ruan Xia in his arms, gentle yet domineering. When Ruan Xia tried to push him away on the couch, he persisted until Ruan Xia pinched him and he stopped to look at her.

Fu Cheng’an : “Okay, even if you think you have lost your memory, you still have to take responsibility for me, right?”

Ruan Xia was greatly shocked!

Ruan Xia blushed. “What did you say? Don’t you have any shame!”

Fu Cheng’an kissed her again and his voice was hoarse. “I want a wife!”

rokumi’s note : wow, I never expected Fu Cheng’an could be that cringey

Chapter 26 – This is not the no-CP male lead!

When Ruan Xia arrived at Fu Cheng’an’s office, she couldn’t help feeling the charm of a male lead in a novel. If he was not married, he would be a male lead in a no-CP novel, but if he was married, he could be a male lead with virtue. And now that he was sitting in a wheelchair, it was like a disabled big shot falling in love, finally standing up and giving the female lead a princess hug type of male lead.

Suddenly, Ruan Xia felt that she was also the female lead in the novel.

Ruan Xia’s eyes were slightly red, “Hubby~”

When Assistant Chen came in, he saw Fu Cheng’an, who needed a wheelchair due to his injured foot, comforting Ruan Xia and repeatedly assuring her that he would walk normally without limping in the future. He placed the coffee in front of Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an before escaping like a frightened rabbit.

In the afternoon, Ruan Xia accompanied Fu Cheng’an to work overtime in his office. For her, this was a familiar routine, after all, she used to be his secretary.

As Fu Cheng’an looked at Ruan Xia, who was dozing off on the sofa, he struggled to open his mouth. The word “Wifey” sounded a little dry, but it was the first time he had called Ruan Xia by that title. Although his voice was low, it woke up Ruan Xia, who was almost asleep.

Ruan Xia looked at Fu Cheng’an incredulously, tears streaming down her face.

Wuwuwu, I’ve really married into a wealthy family now.

Fu Cheng’an stood up in a panic before he remembered his sprained foot. He pretended to hobble over and wiped away Ruan Xia’s tears, his movements very gentle. Finally, he even smiled.

Ruan Xia loved him so much, and he knew it too. She might not necessarily get mad about him lying about his injured foot.

Fu Cheng’an : “I still need to work for a while longer. You go rest in the room.”

But Ruan Xia wasn’t about to let him go so easily. She looked at him with teary eyes and said, “You called.”

Fu Cheng’an : “En, I did.”

Ruan Xia : “Do you know what it means when you call someone?”

Fu Cheng’an remained silent for a long time before answering, “It means I love you.”

Then he cupped Ruan Xia’s face in his hands and kissed her lips.

---

Ruan Xia was too excited to sleep. Fu Cheng’an had admitted his feelings for her, and now they were on the path to being together. Her future looked bright, and she had finally obtained what she had always wanted!

Unable to sleep, Ruan Xia decided to send messages to Fu Cheng’an on her phone.

[Ruan Xia : Miss you!]

[Ruan Xia : Can’t sleep.]

[Ruan Xia : Hubby, let’s just stay here tonight.]

As she typed on her phone, Ruan Xia heard the sound of the system. She tried calling out to the system a few times, but there was no response. However, she felt that the sound of the system was louder than before.

Ruan Xia wasn’t in a hurry and was even recalling what had just happened. Fu Cheng’an had said that he loved her, something unexpected for a male lead of a no-CP novel. Ruan Xia believed that Fu Cheng’an would not lie.

As for how much he loves her, Ruan Xia doesn’t know.

All of this exceeded Ruan Xia’s expectations. Ruan Xia never thought that Fu Cheng’an would say he loves her, but she also feels that it’s normal because if she were a man and there was a woman like her, she would love her too, although this idea is very narcissistic.

I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother found Ruan Xia to play games. Ruan Xia has tried playing in this room before and the sound insulation is very good. So after going online, the two of them directly connect through voice chat, which won’t disturb Fu Cheng’an’s work.

I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother : “You haven’t been online to play games much lately.”

Ruan Xia : “I’ve been busy dating my husband. He’s working now, so I can play games with you in his resting room.”

I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Are you living together now?”

Ruan Xia nodded with joy in her voice, “Yes, we’re living together!”

I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother was really worried about Little Green Tea who seemed too happy and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you getting along well?”

It was fine if Ruan Xia didn’t explain before, but now how could she betray Fu Cheng’an’s “I love you”.

Ruan Xia : “Yes, eight times.”

I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother started screaming, “Ah, really?”

Ruan Xia rambled on, but when she looked up, she saw Fu Cheng’an standing outside the door with hot milk in his hand. Even Ruan Xia blushed, “My phone ran out of battery and is going to shut down. I have to hang up.”

Fu Cheng’an calmly walked over to Ruan Xia, put the hot milk on the bedside table, and said, “I wasn’t ignoring your messages. I was considering some things. Wifey, I’m going to take a shower first, and we’ll go get our marriage certificate tomorrow.”

Ruan Xia : “!!!”

When Fu Cheng’an went to the bathroom, Ruan Xia noticed his reddened ears.

Although Ruan Xia looks like she knows a lot about love, she has never actually been in a relationship. She transmigrated when she was about to date. So, she was inevitably nervous.

Ruan Xia looked at the liquor cabinet in the room, opened a bottle of wine, and drank it without even looking at the label. It was then that Ruan Xia realized a problem.

Fu Cheng’an was walking normally in the evening, even though he was in a wheelchair earlier in the day. This was clearly abnormal.

When Fu Cheng’an came out, Ruan Xia’s face was red, and she was still holding a bottle of red wine. Fu Cheng’an glanced at the bottle, his expression slightly changed, and he walked over to stop Ruan Xia from drinking further.

Ruan Xia : “You lied to me. You’re not actually lame.”

Fu Cheng’an sighed heavily for a long time, “Yeah, I didn’t sprain my ankle.”

Ruan Xia : “If that’s the case, why did you tell me you sprained your ankle? Men’s words are as unreliable as ghosts, everything is fake. Love you, like you, all can change in an instant, and love someone else, like someone else.”

The more she spoke, the sadder she felt. Why does the world work this way? Everyone starts off loving each other, and they are happy after marriage, so let’s not talk about love. They are still in the stage of dating, but Fu Cheng’an can lie.

Fu Cheng’an : “You didn’t message me.”

Ruan Xia : “What?”

Fu Cheng’an: “We were together yesterday, but you didn’t message me today. It’s like Jiang Hao’s fiancee, who wants to call off the engagement with Jiang Hao.”

He was already breaking his own rule by saying this, but when he saw the tears in her eyes, he couldn’t help but say it.

Fu Cheng’an : “I didn’t lie to you. I won’t lie to you in the future, okay? It’s my fault this time, but I truly love you, and it’s true when I said I like you before.”

As Fu Cheng’an said these words, he was really gentle, like he was making a lifelong promise to Ruan Xia. She looked at him without speaking, and Fu Cheng’an kissed her eyes, then slowly moved downward.

Ruan Xia : “Who would believe in forever?”

Fu Cheng’an : “I do. You have to trust me, so you also have to believe it.”

Ruan Xia held Fu Cheng’an’s face, with a clear yet slightly blurry expression. “Can I really trust you?”

Fu Cheng’an : “You can.”

---

On the next day when Ruan Xia was still in her sleep, she was awakened by the system’s screaming.

System : “Ahhhh!”

System : “How did you do it?”

System : “I’m going crazy!”

Ruan Xia didn’t fall asleep until dawn, after all, this was the real male lead. Even so, she woke up when she heard the system’s loud screaming.

From the sound of the system, it was obvious that it had been fully charged.

Ruan Xia thought that the system was shocked that she had developed to this extent with the no-CP male lead. Although Ruan Xia was a bit drunk last night, she did not have a blackout and remembered what happened. Ruan Xia smiled softly with lowered eyes.

Before Ruan Xia could think much, the system continued to scream.

System : “This is not the no-CP male lead!”

Ruan Xia : “What are you talking about? How can he not be the no-CP male lead? He focuses only on his career, has never been in a relationship, and talks about male virtues. Who else can be the male lead of a no-CP novel?”

The system also had a responsibility in this matter because at the start, it only told Ruan Xia the distance between her and the no-CP male lead. At a glance, Ruan Xia only saw Fu Cheng’an, whose face, physique, and personality were all male lead-like. There was no one more male lead-like than Fu Cheng’an around her, but the fact was that he was not the male lead. It was another guy who looked a bit ordinary at the time.

The system told Ruan Xia about the situation. “According to the plot, the male lead came to the crew to see his friend. He was low-key wearing sunglasses and a hat, but if you observe carefully, you can find him. Of course, this is also my fault. Now, I want to ask about your needs, and I can give you a new life plan.”

Ruan Xia : “No, it’s okay. I’m happy with my life as it is now.”

It’s just that Fu Cheng’an is not the no-CP male lead. Anyway, Ruan Xia thinks that she probably won’t meet someone like Fu Cheng’an again.

The system remained silent for a moment, “It’s impossible, because he’s the villain in the novel. Host, it’s like this… insufficient battery, insufficient sodium.”

Ruan Xia sat up, realizing that Fu Cheng’an, someone like him, couldn’t possibly be just a minor character in a novel. So he’s the villain, opposing the no-CP male lead. Since that’s the case, Ruan Xia already knew what the outcome would be for him without even thinking about it.

Looking at the sleeping figure of Fu Cheng’an beside her, Ruan Xia quickly put on her own clothes. It wasn’t until she had already put them on that she realized she was wearing Fu Cheng’an’s clothes, but that didn’t matter now. She hurriedly left the office.

When she arrived at the office door, Ruan Xia ran into Assistant Chen who was coming in to work. The two of them were both stunned.

Assistant Chen: “Madam!”

Ruan Xia was quick-witted. She looked puzzled and asked, “Madam? What madam? Do we know each other?”

---

Chapter 25 – Are we going to get our marriage certificate now?

Ruan Xia felt she might have a bit of trouble sleeping, but in her subconscious, she and Fu Cheng’an were already in a marital relationship, and it was normal for them to sleep together in the same bed. It was just that with Fu Cheng’an lying next to her, it was too hot. As she thought about it, she quickly fell asleep.

Fu Cheng’an’s hand inside the blanket loosened and tightened countless times. Just as he thought he might not be able to sleep, he listened to the steady sound of breathing from Ruan Xia and surprisingly felt sleepy himself.

When the morning dawned, Fu Cheng’an’s biological clock woke him up on time, but he saw Ruan Xia almost clinging onto him. He tried to get up lightly, but Ruan Xia wouldn’t let go and even hugged him tighter.

Fu Cheng’an lay in bed for a while, looking at Ruan Xia’s sleeping face. Perhaps Ruan Xia looked too cute while sleeping, so he gently poked her cheek with his hand. Ruan Xia frowned unhappily in response.

Fu Cheng’an didn’t want to disturb Ruan Xia’s sleep, but he tried a few times, and she wouldn’t let go. He reached for his phone under the pillow and opened it. He intended to check his schedule but unexpectedly saw a message from Jiang Hao.

[Jiang Hao : Brother Fu, you were right!]

[Jiang Hao : You went back yesterday, and I went back too. I went back to please my fiancee’s parents. My fiancee seemed a bit embarrassed and soft towards me. I said a lot of sweet words and things just fell into place. The next day, when I woke up, she was gone.]

[Jiang Hao : What should I do, Brother Fu?]

Fu Cheng’an : “……..”

Fu Cheng’an rubbed his forehead and looked over his schedule. He cancelled the appointments he could, and pushed back the important ones a little bit, which meant that he might have to work overtime until early morning tomorrow.

Ruan Xia had a good night’s sleep, feeling particularly hot but warm at the same time. She couldn’t help but want to snuggle closer.

As usual, Ruan Xia slept until around ten o’clock.

Opening her eyes and looking at Fu Cheng’an lying beside her, Ruan Xia finally remembered what had happened between them.

Ruan Xia’s voice was soft and gentle, a little dry due to the heat, but not unpleasant to hear. She even had a hint of pitifulness in her tone. “Hubby.”

Ruan Xia: “Aren’t you going to work today?”

Fu Cheng’an : “No, not yet. I’ll go later. Ruan Xia, let go first. I’ll go get you some water.”

How could Ruan Xia let go. She had just heard him address her by her full name, and it made her feel like they were not close or that he was angry with her. It was fine when he used to call her that, but not anymore.

After waiting a while, neither of them moved, so Fu Cheng’an compromised and said, “Baby, please let go. I’ll go get you some water to drink.”

Finally free, Fu Cheng’an didn’t leave right away. He looked at Ruan Xia for a moment before saying, “It’s not appropriate to call that way normally.”

Ruan Xia : “Why not? I want to be called that. If you don’t call me that, call me Wifey, otherwise I can’t hear you.” She even covered her ears as she spoke.

In the end, they didn’t continue arguing about it.

Fu Cheng’an went downstairs to get some warm water. Ruan Xia sat up and drank half a cup before putting it down. She confidently handed the cup back to Fu Cheng’an, who took it naturally.

This was her bedroom where she was accustomed to living, and all her things were here. After washing up, she started her skincare routine without putting on makeup. She had no plans to go out today, so she went downstairs and had breakfast first.

During breakfast, Fu Cheng’an sat next to Ruan Xia. Because their biological clocks were different, they rarely ate breakfast together. Even if they did, it was Ruan Xia who would wake up early and eat with Fu Cheng’an. It was rare for him to adjust his schedule to hers like he did today.

The servants in the estate were all amazed. It was the first time they had seen Fu Cheng’an eat breakfast at this time, and some of them even whispered and discussed that they had seen him going out of Ruan Xia’s bedroom today.

Finally, when Ruan Xia put down her chopsticks, Fu Cheng’an asked, “Do you have any plans or ideas for today?”

Ruan Xia replied, “Of course, I’m just going to stay at home today, watch some TV shows, read some novels, and then soak up some sun. After that, it’s lunch, followed by a nap, afternoon tea, and then I’ll unpack some packages. Then it’s dinner, more TV shows, and sleep?”

Today, Ruan Xia was truly living the life of a lazy person, but that was normal. She was going to start filming in a few days, and right now she didn’t want to do anything except relax at home. After all, she was a bit of a lazy person by nature, and she didn’t feel bored at all.

How could she be bored when she had several hours’ worth of packages to unpack? And then there was today’s lunch, which had fresh ingredients flown in, and the cherries that Ruan Xia had specifically asked the housekeeper for. She was going to have those cherries for her afternoon tea.

Suddenly, Ruan Xia laughed and seemed to see through Fu Cheng’an’s thoughts. Fu Cheng’an just tightly pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Ruan Xia lightly touched Fu Cheng’an under the table, and he finally looked at her.

Ruan Xia: “Hubby, do you think according to your thoughts, are we going to get our marriage certificate now?”

Fu Cheng’an stood up and casually wiped his fingers with a dining cloth. “I still have some work to do. If there’s anything…” His gaze paused on Ruan Xia’s face. He used to say to call Assistant Chen, but this time he said, “give me a call.”

Ruan Xia : “Okay, Hubby!”

After Fu Cheng’an left for work, Ruan Xia started her lazy day. However, she was pleasantly surprised to hear the sound of the system beeping. She thought her system had finally finished charging and tried to communicate with it several times, but the system remained silent.

Since the system could make sounds now, it must be fully charged soon, right?

According to the system, it planned to help Ruan Xia live a good life after her transmigrating. Although Ruan Xia was very satisfied with her current situation, except for the fact that she and Fu Cheng’an were still missing a marriage certificate, she had many questions for the system and wanted to know what else it could do.

When reading novels, Ruan Xia often saw female leads with cheat systems that could help with many things. Ruan Xia was very curious. Even if the system only told her that Fu Cheng’an was a male lead of a no-CP novel, and then went on to do other things, Ruan Xia didn’t mind, because she was already very content.

In the afternoon, Ruan Xia was busy with her own things and had no intention of contacting Fu Cheng’an. Especially when unpacking her packages, Ruan Xia had already forgotten what she had bought online, and since she had bought so much, receiving packages was double the joy.

---

These days, Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhiyuan have not stopped giving advice to Jiang Hao, but Jiang Hao feels that none of them are as good as the ideas proposed by Fu Cheng’an.

When he arrived at Fu Cheng’an’s office, Jiang Hao smiled, which was quite flattering, unlike his usual self.

Jiang Hao and Fu Cheng’an have known each other for many years, and their friendship is not based on the intention of climbing up the social ladder as some outsiders do. They get along very naturally, so Jiang Hao rarely acts like this.

Fu Cheng’an looked up from his phone screen, “What’s up?”

Jiang Hao : “Brother Fu, can you give me some advice? I’m not sure what to do now. Should I continue to please my fiancee’s parents? But I heard that she made an appointment to have dinner with the man she’s interested in and supposed to get engaged to after our breakup.” He practically gritted his teeth as he said the last sentence.

Jiang Hao : “By the way, I sent her a message, but she hasn’t replied yet. It’s like nothing happened between us yesterday.”

Fu Cheng’an : “……”

Fu Cheng’an pressed his forehead. It seems that his life has been somewhat out of control since Ruan Xia appeared, and his heart is in turmoil.

Fu Cheng’an : “You can continue to please her parents. Act pitiful.”

Jiang Hao winked, “Got it, the trick of pretending to be pitiful. Brother Fu is so powerful, Brother Fu is amazing. Between you and your wife, she must listen to you on everything, right?”

“Do you have anything else?”

“No, no, I’ll leave now.”

Fu Cheng’an took the initiative to message Ruan Xia.

[Fu Cheng’an : Unpacking your packages?]

[Ruan Xia : Yes, I am.]

[Ruan Xia : Hubby, do you miss me?]

Ruan Xia unpacked her packages and exchanged messages with Fu Cheng’an. She asked if he missed her and was focusing on unpacking. But she realized that he hadn’t replied to her message for over half an hour after reading her message.

Ruan Xia called and spoke softly, “Hubby, are you busy?”

Without much thought, Fu Cheng’an replied, “Not busy, but I sprained my foot and have trouble moving around.”

At this point, she didn’t care about the packages anymore. Her husband had hurt his foot and had trouble moving. As a qualified wife, of course she had to take care of him!

Ruan Xia : “Hubby, I’ll come to your company to see you.”

After hearing Ruan Xia’s words, Fu Cheng’an regretted it, and he didn’t even know what he was thinking.

When Assistant Chen was called to the office by Fu Cheng’an, he thought that Fu Cheng’an had some work for him to do and was very serious, “Mr. Fu.”

Fu Cheng’an frowned, and Assistant Chen was even more frightened, thinking he had made some mistake at work.

Fu Cheng’an : “Get me a wheelchair.”

Assistant Chen : “???”

Chapter 24 – Goodnight, Baby

In the morning, Ruan Xia and Fu Cheng’an came out of their room at the same time. When they were going downstairs, Fu Cheng’an noticed that Ruan Xia seemed like she hadn’t fully woken up yet, so he helped support her waist.

Dating was not a big deal for them, and they had already done more intimate things like kissing. But yesterday, the message Fu Cheng’an sent made Ruan Xia avoid him. She turned around and looked pitifully at him, and the two of them stared at each other.

Ruan Xia was very reserved and said, “Hubby, we can’t do this. We haven’t remarried yet.”

Fu Cheng’an : “….”

Ruan Xia planned to remain reserved during this period of time.

---

Ruan Xia received many congratulations for her successful audition, and even received several red envelopes from people like Aunt Sun, Zhou Yu, and even Zhou Zhiyuan who took the initiative to add Ruan Xia’s WeChat and send her a red envelope.

Before transmigrating, Ruan Xia had received blessings and red envelopes, especially during the era of developed internet and WeChat. However, Ruan Xia had never received such genuine and sincere red envelopes from people like them. They congratulated Ruan Xia wholeheartedly. Although they might not lack money, their thoughts were sincere and they truly felt that Ruan Xia had achieved something great.

Ruan Xia sent messages to them through her phone to express her gratitude.

Fu Cheng’an’s grandfather was an extremely rigid person. When he was a child, his grandfather took care of him for a long time, so he inherited some of his grandfather’s personality traits. When it comes to marriage, he is very much like his grandfather – if he doesn’t want to date and get married, then that’s it. But if he does date and get married, then he has made up his mind.

Since officially accepting Ruan Xia, he has met with friends less frequently. This time, it was difficult to get Fu Cheng’an to agree to come out, and several people gathered at his hot spring villa, where he held a small gathering in his spare room.

On the terrace, Jiang Hao was discussing mature men’s topics, especially about marriage. Among the group, the one who listened most attentively was Fu Cheng’an. He used to not be interested in these things at all. If Jiang Hao asked him a question, he would just treat it as a problem that needed to be dealt with and make a proposal to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao: “I’ve admitted my mistakes, but my fiancée refuses to continue with the engagement. What does she mean? Does she think I haven’t apologized enough, or does she really not want to be with me anymore? Zhou Zhiyuan, what do you think? You have the most experience.”

Zhou Zhiyuan : “I have experience. I have experience in calling off an engagement…”

Jiang Hao : “Okay, shut up.”

Zhou Zhiyuan, sitting with his legs crossed and holding a phone, took a sip of wine. “So if you still want to be with her, why are you competing? You were so cold at first that both families were alarmed. Now you want to reconcile with her, it may not be easy.”

The phone accidentally turned on the speaker, and Ruan Xia’s voice could be heard. “Thank you, I will act well. When the movie is released, I will book a theater and invite you all to watch it.”

Fu Cheng’an looked at him with a heavy expression.

Zhou Zhiyuan: “It’s sister-in-law. I heard she passed the audition. I congratulated her, added her on WeChat, and even sent her a red envelope. Sister-in-law is really nice. No wonder you like her, Brother Fu.”

Fu Cheng’an held his phone, still on the chat page with Ruan Xia. He told her he wouldn’t be going back today, but she didn’t reply.

Zhou Zhiyuan : “Brother Fu, what does that look mean? Did you have a fight with sister-in-law too?”

Everyone looked at Fu Cheng’an, thinking of reasons why they might have fought. They thought he might have been too cold, or didn’t understand her feelings, which made Ruan Xia secretly angry.

Fu Cheng’an laughed, “We didn’t fight.”

Yes, at this point, Fu Cheng’an didn’t feel like he had fought with Ruan Xia. They never really fought at the same time, at most Ruan Xia would just be upset with him.

All in all, it was just a temper tantrum.

Fu Cheng’an transferred money to Ruan Xia. and after hitting the WeChat transfer limit, Fu Cheng’an directly deposited money into Ruan Xia’s account.

Ruan Xia, who was about to fall asleep that night, counted the money Fu Cheng’an had sent over and was already feeling dazed.

Oh my god, it’s just too enjoyable!

In an instant, she had become a wealthy person.

Yes, Ruan Xia felt that the issue between her and Fu Cheng’an could be easily resolved with money. It wasn’t a big deal, was it? It was just that before they remarried, they couldn’t sleep in the same bed.

[Ruan Xia: Hubby, what are you doing?]

[Ruan Xia: Are you trying to make me happy?]

[Ruan Xia: You don’t have to do this, I understand your thoughts, and I respect your decision.]

Fu Cheng’an : “….”

Fu Cheng’an didn’t even bat an eye and said, “My girlfriend is very clingy, so I’m going back home today.”

Jiang Hao, who was talking about the matters with his own fiancée, was fed a mouthful dog food. After a moment of silence, Fu Cheng’an said to him, “You can try to be a qualified son-in-law by pleasing her parents from the start.”

Yes, arguing and fighting are just detours in a relationship. It’s better to just comfort each other directly when quarreling or having a cold war, instead of enduring the suffering of not talking to each other for a long time.

After unbuttoning a few buttons on his shirt and enjoying the evening breeze for a while, Fu Cheng’an went back.

Zhou Yu : “Men who are in love are really strange creatures.”

Zhou Zhiyuan replied, “You’re the only one who’s not strange. Don’t talk about it, single dog. I just didn’t expect that someone like Brother Fu would also have this kind of relationship.”

“What kind?”

“A high-quality romantic relationship.”

“……..”

Excited, Ruan Xia couldn’t fall asleep and tossed and turned in bed, holding her phone and staring at the messages on it. This was money, the thing Ruan Xia wanted to get from Fu Cheng’an. She never expected it to be so easy to get.

This is her dear Hubby.

All the mess of love and all the thoughts were thrown aside by Ruan Xia. She wasn’t too bothered by those things, and she didn’t think it wasn’t worth it for Fu Cheng’an. If it wasn’t for Ruan Xia, Fu Cheng’an won’t be able to get married. Not to mention, Ruan Xia felt that the man who fell in love with and married to her would be very happy. She was just not emotionally invested.

Just as Ruan Xia was about to fall asleep, she remembered that she had forgotten to turn off the light. She heard a knock on the door and Fu Cheng’an’s voice. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and went to open the door.

Ruan Xia, Zhou Yu, and Zhou Zhiyuan were all talking and knew that Fu Cheng’an was partying with them, and they were not in Yanjing. So why did Fu Cheng’an come back at this time?

Ruan Xia rushed into Fu Cheng’an’s arms and said in a muffled voice, “Hubby~~”

After calling Fu Cheng’an “Hubby”, she quickly let go of him and even stepped back. It seemed like she had just remembered Fu Cheng’an’s thoughts and actions.

Ruan Xia : “Hubby, why are you back?”

Fu Cheng’an hugged Ruan Xia and said, “Stop being silly. Don’t ignore my messages next time. If you want…”

Ruan Xia : “???”

Gosh, in her whole life, except for before she transmigrated, Ruan Xia had never heard such absurd language. What did he mean by “if she wants”? Oh my, are all male leads like this?

Ruan Xia couldn’t explain herself, she couldn’t just earnestly explain things to Fu Cheng’an, she was speechless for the first time in front of him.

Fu Cheng’an lowered his head to kiss Ruan Xia. His kiss started gentle but gradually became dominant. Ruan Xia held onto his shoulders in his arms, “Hubby, don’t be like this. I really respect you. If you are worried that I will be cold to you because of this, we can just sleep together.”

Ruan Xia: “……”

Really, she had never been so speechless in her life. She felt like it was not her line, it should have been Fu Cheng’an who said it.

Fu Cheng’an kissed her again, and when he stood up straight, Ruan Xia felt like they were both limp. In an instant, Ruan Xia’s face turned red.

Fu Cheng’an : “I’ll go take a shower.”

Ruan Xia : “Hmm.”

Ruan Xia really rolled around on the bed this time. She couldn’t stop holding her phone, not knowing who to message. At this time, everyone should be asleep, except for I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother who is probably still awake. Ruan Xia didn’t know how to talk to her, so she could only hug her pillow and continue to roll around on the bed.

Fu Cheng’an was taking a shower in the bathroom of Ruan Xia’s bedroom. Ruan Xia could hear the sound of the running water from outside. After the sound of the water stopped, Ruan Xia wanted to quickly lie down, but she ended up falling off the bed.

Fortunately, there was a soft carpet under the bed. Ruan Xia grabbed a pillow and hit the bed. Finally, she calmed down. What could be the problem with sharing a bed with her future husband?

When Fu Cheng’an came out, Ruan Xia was already lying in bed. There was only a desk lamp on in the room, and the light was very soft.

Ruan Xia : “Hubby.”

Fu Cheng’an’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly. He turned off the desk lamp and the room darkened. Soon, he lay down next to Ruan Xia. “Ruan Xia, good night.”

Ruan Xia didn’t speak. Fu Cheng’an hesitated for a moment and lightly touched Ruan Xia’s hand.

Ruan Xia : “Hubby, could you not call me Ruan Xia? It seems like we’re not very close.”

Fu Cheng’an : “What should I call you?”

Ruan Xia : “Call me Baby. Say good night, Baby.”

The two fell silent again. Ruan Xia imitated Fu Cheng’an and lightly touched his hand. Fu Cheng’an didn’t speak, and Ruan Xia even started to wiggle her fingers.

Fu Cheng’an’s voice was low and hoarse. “Good night, Baby.”

Ruan Xia : “Good night, Hubby~”
