"Maybe..." Shiyang's voice lowered as he turned his head slightly, "It may take a long time to mentally prepare."
The calm words instantly aroused the ferocity in Fu Jingchuan's eyes.
He gently grabbed her chin with his long fingers, forcing her to look at him.
"Did you start preparing more than half a year ago?" he asked, his voice so quiet and cold.
He did not forget the day she received the admission call from ETH Zurich. He asked her when she started preparing. She said half a year ago.
Shiyang nodded lightly, acquiescing.
Fu Jingchuan didn't answer, just looked at her expressionlessly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down violently with the ups and downs of his emotions.
He didn't say a word, just looked at her expressionlessly.
Shiyang didn't know why Fu Jingchuan suddenly came to settle these old scores.
She didn't divorce him without telling him, nor did she run away.
From the beginning, she calmly told him that she wanted a divorce, and he agreed. He didn't even need to ask why or explain. He ended their marriage with a simple "OK", which was as clean and neat as hers. Bi is far better than her.
Later, when they met again in their community, when he learned that she had planned to divorce half a year ago, he was the first to say "take care" in a cool and unrestrained manner, and his back view when leaving was also clean and neat without any sloppiness.
Even if they met at the airport on the day she left, she was downstairs and he was looking at her upstairs, his calm and unfamiliar eyes showed no nostalgia or concern.
It was just over a month since that time, and she didn't understand why Fu Jingchuan suddenly opened up old scores.
Is it because of... the child?
As his palms unconsciously touched the still flat belly, Shiyang found that all the changes seemed to have occurred after he discovered that she was pregnant.
Fu Jingchuan noticed where her palms were and glanced at her.
"It has nothing to do with the child." He said, his eyes paused on her chin that was held by him, and he let go.
"Sorry." He said, and he had returned to his former calm.
"It's okay." Shiyang responded softly, frowning and not looking at him.
"You go back to your room and rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready." Fu Jingchuan said, arranging her messed up hair.
Shi Yang still just nodded meekly: "Okay."
Fu Jingchuan watched her go back to the room. He didn't look away slightly until the door was closed.
--------------------------
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled from the window lattice.
Shiyang stood in front of the window, looking out at the still unfamiliar streets.
The breath left by Fu Jingchuan just now still lingers on his lips.
His slightly heavy breathing and anger just now were still lingering in his ears.
Shiyang actually couldn't understand Fu Jingchuan. He was usually too calm and composed, and it was rare for him to show his emotions like this. She didn't understand his sudden changes in mood.
This is a bit different from the Fu Jingchuan she knew.
But she would not be so self-righteous that this was Fu Jingchuan's hindsight.
They have no such emotional foundation.
The palm of his hand fell unconsciously on his lower abdomen again.
Shiyang always felt that Fu Jingchuan's transformation started from knowing the existence of the child.
He has always liked children, and naturally he would not let his children grow up in an incomplete family environment.
At this time, the mobile phone entered the WeChat video.
Shiyang glanced and saw that it was Lin Shanshan calling.
Shiyang pressed the answer button.
"You're still up so late?" Shiyang asked, looking at the time. At this point, it was already midnight in the country.
Lin Shanshan yawned: "I don't have time to sleep. I've been so busy lately. I just finished discussing the contract."
Shiyang frowned: "Why is the contract so late?"
"Isn't it about Fu Jingchuan's Huichen Hotel entering our business district..." Lin Shanshan was about to finish complaining when she remembered that she accidentally mentioned Fu Jingchuan in front of Shiyang. She subconsciously closed her mouth and patted herself neatly. She said that she had not forgotten what Shiyang told her when she was talking about work with Fu Jingchuan before, and she no longer wanted to pay attention to Fu Jingchuan's current situation.
Shiyang was amused by her annoyed look: "It's okay, just tell me."
Then he asked her: "Hasn't your project been signed yet?"
Lin Shanshan: "It's not that fast. I spent several days negotiating the contract, revising it back and forth. Fu Jingchuan is too difficult to deal with. No, their legal department is too difficult to deal with."
After Lin Shanshan complained, she couldn't help but pouted and glanced at Shiyang: "I originally thought about asking Fu Jingchuan to open a green channel. If there is anything, we can directly discuss it and make changes directly. This way, both parties will save worry and trouble, but others don't know how to escape. Where did he go? I went to their company several times but couldn't find anyone. When I asked them about Secretary Ke, he refused to reveal it. He only said that he was on a business trip. I didn't know when he would come back from the business trip. If this contract continues like this, you The baby is about to be born.”
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at her worriedly: "By the way, have your pregnancy reactions been better these past two days? I was so busy that I forgot to care about you."
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Shiyang quickly reassured, "It's you who stayed up too late, so you should take care of yourself."
"It's okay, sister is young." Lin Shanshan yawned and stood up, "Tomorrow I will ask their secretary Ke to see if I can wait until Fu Jingchuan comes to work. Their legal department is too strong, and our legal department is not going to take advantage of it. I'm a bastard, I'm like a sandwich biscuit, I've been worn out inside and out like a human being."
Shiyang looked at her obviously haggard face and couldn't bear it: "Why don't you send me the contract, and I'll show it to Fu Jingchuan for you. He's in Zurich."
"What?" Lin Shanshan was so shocked that she stopped yawning, "Fu Jingchuan chased Zurich?"
"No, he came here on a business trip and accidentally met him." Shiyang clarified softly.
"What kind of bullshit fate is this? You can meet someone like this in such a big European country." Lin Shanshan shook her head and smiled helplessly. When she looked at the screen of her mobile phone, she realized that the background behind Shiyang was different from her home. She was stunned for a moment, "You... Aren't you with Fu Jingchuan now?"
Shiyang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll stay with him for now."
"He... found out about my pregnancy." Shiyang added softly.
Lin Shanshan: "..."
"How did you find out? This is so fast. He couldn't have installed any tracker on you, right?"
Shiyang smiled: "How can he have such free time? It's just a mistake. He has a strong insight, so you know, if you meet him, you can't hide it from him."
Lin Shan nodded in approval: "Yes."
"Then what are you going to do next?" she asked. "Should we give birth to the child and raise it together, or remarry? Or not have the child?"
"I don't know." Shiyang let out a breath, "Let's take it one step at a time, but we will definitely not remarry. He and I are not suitable."
--------------------------
Outside the door, Fu Jingchuan's hand, which was about to knock on the door, stopped in mid-air.
He had just finished cooking dinner and was about to come over to ask Shiyang to eat. He didn't expect to hear her talking on the phone.
He glanced at the closed door, and moved his long fingers clasped in mid-air, but finally did not knock.
He didn't intentionally eavesdrop on the two of them talking on the phone, but he bumped into them accidentally.
"He and I are not suitable."
Shiyang's unique gentle voice echoed repeatedly in his mind. Fu Jingchuan didn't know what the so-called inappropriateness between him and Shiyang meant.
But the anger that had finally calmed down seemed to be aroused by these words.
He turned his head slightly to the side to calm his emotions.
The conversation in the room continued, and Lin Shanshan's voice was turned on and came through the door panel: "It doesn't matter, you think about it carefully first. No matter what decision you make, I will support you unconditionally. I still say the same thing, if you choose After the child is born, I will accompany you to raise her. If you choose not to, I will respect your decision and you should not have any psychological burden."
"Well, I will think it over carefully, don't worry about me." Shiyang's voice followed, "Remember to send me your contract, and I will ask for it for you."
"okay."
Fu Jingchuan took a long breath, and after a moment of silence, he knocked on the door.
----------------------------------
Shi Yang had hung up the phone and was reading the contract sent by Lin Shanshan. When she heard a knock on the door, she turned to look at the door, got up and went to open the door.
Fu Jingchuan stood at the door of the room.
"Let's eat first," he said.
Shiyang nodded: "Okay."
She turned off her phone and went out with him.
The food has been brought to the table.
Fu Jingchuan filled Shiyang's soup and handed it to her. Shiyang subconsciously stood up and reached out to take it: "I'll take it."
Fu Jingchuan avoided her extended hand.
"I'll just come."
In the end, he didn't let her touch him. He put the soup bowl in front of her smoothly and filled her with a bowl of rice.
"Thank you." Shiyang thanked politely.
Fu Jingchuan didn't say anything. He filled a bowl of soup and sat down opposite her.
Shiyang clearly felt that the low pressure in Fu Jingchuan's car from the afternoon had not dissipated yet. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but fell silent again when he saw Fu Jingchuan's overly calm handsome face. He picked up the spoon and took a sip. Have soup.
Fu Jingchuan also drank the soup in silence without speaking.
Shiyang was not very used to this kind of relationship that resembled the Cold War.
She was silent for a while, then looked up at him: "Did something happen to you today? Or did I do something wrong? Or said something wrong?"
Fu Jingchuan looked up at her: "It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem."
Shiyang shook his head slightly, stirring the soup with the spoon in his hand, and then looked at him: "Did I mention Shen Yu to make you unhappy? It seems that all your emotional changes started from Shen Yu. If you If you don’t like her, I’ll never mention her again, but don’t keep silent like this, it makes me a little confused about how to get along with you.”
Fu Jingchuan's hand holding the spoon paused slightly, then he looked up at her calmly: "I really don't like hearing you talk about Shen Yu. Don't mention it again."
Shiyang nodded lightly: "Okay."
But such obedience did not make Fu Jingchuan calm, and the low pressure that was invisibly emitted was still there.
Shiyang glanced at him a little confused: "Is there anything else?"
Fu Jingchuan glanced at her, and just when she thought he would reply to her with the word "it's okay" again, he suddenly said softly: "What's wrong with us two?"
Shiyang: "..."
