Chapter 21 – Hubby, the power of money, this is the power of money!
Ruan Xia had a good attitude towards her future husband’s friends, but even so, she couldn’t stand it when Zhou Yu occasionally looked at her with a strange expression.
Zhou Yu : “Let’s exchange WeChat.”
Zhou Yu : “I always thought that among us, Brother Fu would remain single in the end. I never expected that you would win him over. Can you tell me more about it?”
Ruan Xia explained the script to him, with her naturally charming eyes. Even if she was describing a standard sweet romance plot or just talking casually, no one would suspect her deep affection for Fu Cheng’an.
Zhou Yu was taken aback and had forgotten about this matter before.
Before this, Fu Cheng’an had approached Zhou Yu to inquire about Ruan Xia’s recovery from her mixed memories. It’s likely that at that time, Fu Cheng’an had already thought about what to do if Ruan Xia regained her memories but didn’t remember him.
Zhou Yu’s gaze towards Ruan Xia changed again.
At first, Zhou Yu was somewhat curious about what would happen between Fu Cheng’an, who had no interest in women, and the little celebrity who considered him as her husband.
Now that Fu Cheng’an has fallen, Zhou Yu is starting to worry about him.
Zhou Yu : “If you wake up one day and forget about Brother Fu, and then meet him when you wake up, will you still fall in love with him?”
Asking this question shows that Zhou Yu is an insider. After thinking about it, Ruan Xia answered, “Of course I will. He is completely my ideal type. Even if I forget him, I will definitely fall in love with him at first sight, right?”
Zhou Yu was actually a little envious of Fu Cheng’an. Isn’t this the wife that God arranged for Fu Cheng’an? If it were him, he might have already gotten rid of his single status.
Yesterday, she spent the whole day at the hotel, and it’s not very interesting to continue staying at the hotel today. It just happens that Zhou Yu, her husband’s friend, is there. They had a good conversation, so why not go out together?
When visiting City S, you have to go to the local scenic spots, right?
Ruan Xia took a sip of coffee, “It’s my first time in City S. The scenery here is really beautiful.”
Zhou Yu nodded, “Yes, the scenery here is good. I happen to be quite familiar with this place, so why not let me be your guide?”
Ruan Xia : “Won’t it trouble you?”
Zhou Yu looked at the innocent-looking Ruan Xia in front of him and quickly waved his hand, “You are my sister-in-law. What trouble could there be? My brother Fu is busy with work, and if you wait until he finishes his work, he’ll probably go straight back to Yanjing. I’ll find a guide and driver for us. It’s my pleasure to show you around City S. I’ve been here many times, but I haven’t properly explored it.”
After finishing work, Fu Cheng’an stayed at the dinner party for a while before casually finding an excuse to leave.
Several other big shots who attended the dinner party sent Fu Cheng’an downstairs, smiling and saying they would meet again sometime. One of them, who was somewhat familiar with Fu Cheng’an, asked a question.
“Mr. Fu, do you still have work to do at this time?”
Fu Cheng’an was about to nod his head but then laughed lightly, “No.”
When he returned to the hotel room and used his room card to open the door, the lights inside were not turned on, and only the moonlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite.
His wife had run away again.
After taking a shower, Fu Cheng’an came out, but Ruan Xia had not yet returned. He checked the time and realized it was already past nine in the evening.
Fu Cheng’an and Zhou Yu have been friends for many years. Fu Cheng’an knows Zhou Yu too well, and he probably has asked many questions to Ruan Xia by now. He’s really gossipy.
He took out his phone and looked at the muted group messages. As expected, Zhou Yu shared some photos of Ruan Xia during their trip and said she’s sister-in-law from Fu Cheng’an.
There were many exclamation marks and various expressions of surprise in the group chat. Fu Cheng’an rarely talks, but he sent a message in the group.
[Fu Cheng’an : Are you bored, @Zhou Yu?]
He put away his phone and went to the study. There were still some things he needed to take care of.
Ruan Xia thought that the “toolmen” around Fu Cheng’an were really useful. Of course, it’s not that Zhou Yu was more useful than Assistant Chen, but they could handle different things that could help Ruan Xia. For example, Zhou Yu was knowledgeable and could give her many insights she had never heard of.
Toolmen are really great.
They played outside until after ten o’clock, and Ruan Xia still wanted to continue, but then she thought of her wealthy husband who doesn’t come home.
Ruan Xia lowered her eyes and said, “I don’t know if my Hubby has finished his work and had dinner or not.”
Zhou Yu felt envious, anyone would want to have such a girlfriend and some may even consider going on a blind date.
Zhou Yu said, “Don’t worry, there should be a dinner party today. At these kinds of events, they usually won’t force him to drink. So, he probably had something to eat.”
Ruan Xia felt like having some midnight snacks, “Why don’t we pack some food to take home? Let’s pack… noodles.”
Zhou Yu : “Sure.”
Ruan Xia ordered two portions of noodles and even asked Zhou Yu if he wanted to order a portion for himself to take as midnight snack.
Zhou Yu : “Thank you for reminding me. I’ll order one too.”
The toolman’s favorability towards her went up again~
Meanwhile, Fu Cheng’an was working and being mentioned by his friends in the group chat several times. He was busy, but his gaze fell on his phone on the table.
Fu Cheng’an, who was not interested at first, opened his phone again and looked at the messages inside.
For Fu Cheng’an, being in a romantic relationship and getting married is a new identity for him. Since he accepts this identity and acknowledges his relationship with Ruan Xia, he will treat her in a special way, which is normal. If he doesn’t treat Ruan Xia in a special way, or only sees her as an ordinary person, there is no need to be in a romantic relationship with her.
[Zhou Yu : Sister-in-law is worried that Brother Fu hasn’t eaten yet when he came back. She wants to bring him some midnight snack.]
[Zhou Yu : I’m so envious I could cry.]
[Zhou Yu : Can anyone introduce me to a cute and clingy girl like Sister-in-law?]
[Fu Cheng’an : She’s one of a kind.]
[Zhou Yu : ???]
[Zhou Zhiyuan : This is showing off one’s love, I’m shocked!]
[Jiang Hao: Don’t you guys care about me…?]
[Zhou Zhiyuan : Oh my god, Brother Fu is showing off his love.]
[Zhou Yu : Sister-in-law asked me to pack some noodles to eat as midnight snack after I go back.]
[Zhou Zhiyuan : Sister-in-law must be a fairy from heaven.]
Zhou Yu showed the chat history to Ruan Xia in a secretive manner, and Ruan Xia exclaimed that she didn’t expect Fu Cheng’an’s friends to call her “a fairy-like beauty on earth” like this.
With that, Zhou Yu left a strong impression on Ruan Xia!
Back at the hotel, Ruan Xia saw Fu Cheng’an’s handmade leather shoes. She only stood beside them and felt that her feet were so small before she finally went in.
Ruan Xia : “Hubby, I packed some supper for you.”
After shouting, Ruan Xia knocked on Fu Cheng’an’s door from outside his room. Hearing his response telling her to come in, she pushed the door open and continued, “It’s light soup noodles, and the noodle shop also gave us some homemade cold dishes, which look very appetizing.”
“Okay,” Fu Cheng’an replied, getting up from his seat.
At the dinner table, Ruan Xia’s noodles were different from Fu Cheng’an’s. She had oily spicy noodles, she wasn’t afraid of getting pimples. Thinking of pimples, she glanced at Fu Cheng’an.
Despite not using any skincare products, Fu Cheng’an’s skin looked just as good as hers, or even better.
Why does Ruan Xia know that Fu Cheng’an doesn’t use any skincare products? Because Ruan Xia didn’t see any such products in his room, although at least he used men’s facial cleanser instead of washing his face with soap.
Is this the treatment of a male lead in a no-CP novel?
No, now this is also the treatment of Ruan Xia. With a husband like this, isn’t it often said in novels that time has left no traces on the faces of the male and female leads?
Thinking that she would be able to always look at a pleasing and well-proportioned face in the future, Ruan Xia was so happy that she even ate more while having her noodles.
Ruan Xia : “Hubby, I don’t mind you being older.”
Fu Cheng’an : “…”
They had a four-year age difference, but with Fu Cheng’an’s male lead halo, she didn’t mind him being older. Moreover, Fu Cheng’an was only twenty-seven years old now.
Fu Cheng’an : “Do you have anything you want to do?”
Ruan Xia : “What do you mean?”
Fu Cheng’an : “Anything you want to do now.”
Ruan Xia ate her noodles slowly, and it took a long time before she said, “I want to see a grand fireworks show next time.”
Ruan Xia suddenly felt a bit spicy and took a big sip of water. Then she looked at Fu Cheng’an affectionately and asked, “Hubby, is this bowl of clear noodle soup delicious?”
To be honest, this bowl of clear noodle soup was very ordinary, not particularly delicious, but it wasn’t bad either. Fu Cheng’an paused and gave a neutral evaluation, “It tastes like clear noodle soup.”
Ruan Xia : “……”
What was he saying? Of course, the clear noodle soup he ate tasted like clear noodle soup.
Fu Cheng’an continued, “The one made at home tastes better.”
The kind and innocent little fairy didn’t want to speak anymore. She thought that she had to make Fu Cheng’an form some habits as soon as possible so that she could have a more comfortable life in the future.
In the evening, Ruan Xia had an appointment to play with I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother. She recommended a city-building game to Ruan Xia, which Ruan Xia found interesting.
After showering and doing skincare, it took Ruan Xia more than an hour. This was a matter of course. After all, being naturally beautiful didn’t mean she didn’t need skincare. Who doesn’t like to look more beautiful?
Fu Cheng’an knocked on the door and came in. Holding her phone, Ruan Xia looked up at him and said, “Hubby, I’m looking for this shop. I want to give them a bad review and argue with the netizens who recommended it.”
As Fu Cheng’an walked forward, Ruan Xia suddenly felt a moment of nervousness. What did Fu Cheng’an come to her room for at this time?
They were alone, a man and a woman, boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife.
Oh, she had indeed overestimated this man’s willpower, after all, he was an old man who had never had a girlfriend before.
Fu Cheng’an pulled back the curtain calmly, “What an old man can do.”
The sound of “bang” rang out continuously, and the brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky. Ruan Xia ran out of bed without even putting on her shoes and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fu Cheng’an at the window.
Ruan Xia looked up, “Ahhhhh, Hubby, the power of money, this is the power of money!”
BWHAHAHAHHAHAHA
THIS IS THE POWER OF MONEY!!!!
Not old, not old
