Shi Yang pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, as if hesitating.
Fu Jingchuan glanced at her hand on the tea cup. The thin fingers pressing on the edge of the cup tightened slightly, and a shallow white crease was pressed on the back of the finger.
Fu Jingchuan's eyes paused on the white folds on her fingers, and then looked at her face.
Shiyang raised her eyes and looked at him with calm eyes: "Tomorrow is the foundation laying ceremony of the Guofeng Resort project. On such an important occasion, there are media reporters here. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to cause trouble, so I feel it is necessary to talk to him. Just tell me, it’s better to take precautions in advance.”
Fu Jingchuan: "The company has always had a complete emergency plan for such large occasions, and it also has an excellent security team. No one can make trouble in such an occasion, don't you know?"
Shiyang reluctantly held her lips: "I haven't been in the company for a long time, so I don't know this."
"I'm sorry, I was worrying too much." She said softly.
Fu Jingchuan's lips also moved slightly but did not speak.
There was a knock on the door at this moment, and the waiter brought the meals, one after another, carefully and carefully placed on the table, briefly interrupting the conversation between the two.
"You two, please use it slowly."
The waiter finished placing the meals, said politely, and then led the other staff out, closing the box door on the way.
Fu Jingchuan took the chopsticks, picked up something casually, and put it into her bowl. His calm voice slowly followed his unhurried movements:
"Shiyang, did you go downstairs just now?"
Shi Yang's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Fu Jingchuan subconsciously.
Fu Jingchuan didn't look at her, but gently and slowly put the steaming steamed chicken feet into her bowl, and said softly: "Taste it."
Shiyang lowered his eyes and glanced at the chicken feet in the bowl, and thanked softly: "Thank you."
But she didn't move her chopsticks, she just nodded lightly, and then said softly: "I did go downstairs just now."
Fu Jingchuan paused suddenly and looked at her.
Shiyang also raised her eyes to look at him: "I saw you holding a little girl. You and her looked quite close, so I didn't come forward to disturb you."
Her eyes were as clear and clean as usual, and her expressions were calm and calm.
She was so calm that Fu Jingchuan almost doubted his own judgment, and had an inexplicable feeling for her.
Her frankness suddenly caught him off guard.
Even if the probability that Tongtong is not his daughter is only 0.1%, every word he questions now will put her relationship with him into jeopardy.
But he couldn't afford to gamble on such a fate.
Fu Jingchuan didn't know whether Shiyang had calculated that he had no direct evidence, or whether it was all just his wishful thinking again.
From beginning to end, except for the coincidence of Shiyang and Tongtong appearing at the same time, and his wonderful kindness and distress when facing Tongtong, there is no sign that Shiyang and Tongtong are related.
"Does that little girl have nothing to do with you?"
Fu Jingchuan looked at her, his dark eyes cold and heavy.
"No."
Her answer was unusually calm, and the eyes that met him were faintly tinged with coldness and determination.
Fu Jingchuan glanced at her fiercely, suddenly pushed away the chair, stood up, walked towards her, bent down to pick up her wrist, and pulled her up: "We will take her for a paternity test now!"
Shi Yang calmly let him pull him away, and just spoke softly:
"Fu Jingchuan, I agree to do a paternity test. But if the results prove that she and I have nothing to do with each other, we will have nothing to do with each other from now on. After the groundbreaking ceremony of the Guofeng Resort project is completed tomorrow, I want to leave, is that okay?"
Fu Jingchuan stopped dead in his tracks and looked back at her coldly: "You still want to leave?"
Shiyang's eyes were a little red, but she still looked at him almost stubbornly: "I can't follow your arrangements every time. I can cooperate with you to do a paternity test, but if the results come out and prove that there is no relationship, I hope you will also Can you respect my choice?"
Fu Jingchuan looked into her dark eyes and said, "You dare to try walking again."
But today Shi Yang was also extremely tough. Although his eyes were red and his voice was as soft and gentle as usual, his words were extremely calm.
"You know whether I dare or not." She said, her soft voice already choked.
Fu Jingchuan stared at her fiercely and said nothing.
He was forced by her to neither advance nor retreat.
He should have expected that it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to confess.
As early as when he had doubts about Tongtong's identity, he should have taken off Tongtong's hair for a paternity test, instead of letting himself fall into this passivity again because of that moment of reluctance.
As long as she makes a decision in her heart, she will never take it hard or soft.
Fu Jingchuan knew he should gamble this time.
But, even though he knew in his heart that he had a 99.9% chance of winning, the remaining 0.1% was something he couldn't afford to lose.
Just like Shiyang said, he knew whether she dared or not.
He knew damn well whether she dared or not.
The image of her weakly coming out of the abortion operating room and lying in the hospital two years ago kept replaying in her mind, mixed with the denial of her pregnancy by everyone around her, as well as her unpregnant figure in that photo, and There was the word "termination of pregnancy" on the yellowed discharge summary in her bag, and the messy pictures intertwined in his mind, forcing him to look at her with colder and colder eyes.
He always knew Shiyang was smart, but he never thought that she would use all her intelligence on him.
He hated her for being too smart, even cunning.
She cunningly did not use the results of his and Tongtong's paternity test as a condition for negotiation. Instead, she cunningly changed the concept and used the results of her and Tongtong's test as a threat.
This gave him another possibility. Tongtong might be her daughter, but she might not be her biological one.
She had been in the abortion operating room, and she had the discharge summary for termination of pregnancy in her hand. No one around her had seen her pregnant, and her photos did not leave any trace of her pregnancy...
Everything reminded him of another possibility. She and his child were gone, but she adopted another child.
This may not be possible for other girls, but for her, it becomes reasonable.
Because the Shiyang he knew had always been a person with a strong inner world and surprisingly strong opinions.
There is nothing in this world that she dares not to do, only whether she wants to.
The veins on Fu Jingchuan's forehead undulated violently due to suppressed emotions, and he stared at Shiyang with eyes that were as fierce and fierce as if he wanted to eat someone.
Layers of sweat broke out on Shiyang's palms, and the high tension made her head, which had just been hit, become more and more dizzy.
Her nails dug into the flesh of her clenched palms, and the pain in her palms allowed her to keep her mind clear.
The idea of protecting children is more important than anything else.
She can live without Fu Jingchuan, but she can't live without Tongtong.
Fu Jingchuan's father's attitude was already clear: they would not accept Tongtong.
Shi Yang knew Fu Wujun and Fang Wanqing very well. They didn't like a person, and they had many ways to attack and suppress a person's confidence.
There are ways to hurt a child.
Physical harm is only temporary, but verbal and attitude harm is lifelong.
In the same city, they were Fu Jingchuan's father and mother. In an era when communications were extremely developed, this could not be prevented by strict defense.
Shiyang didn't want Tongtong to go through what she had experienced again.
Adults have the ability to heal themselves, but children do not.
She couldn't trust Fu Jingchuan either.
Divorce was the result of a little accumulation of disappointment, but the reality did not give her a chance to rebuild her confidence in him.
Shiyang knew exactly what she was doing. The fingers under her palm pinched deeper and deeper, and her face became paler and paler during this confrontation.
Fu Jingchuan looked at her increasingly pale face and forced himself to ignore it.
After giving her a cold look for the last time, he let go of her hand and turned to leave.
Shi Yangtuo stumbled, and his body accidentally hit the chair next to him. The chair and the table collided with each other with a loud noise, causing the cups and plates on the table to clang.
Fu Jingchuan paused outside the door.
He turned around and looked back and saw Shiyang holding the table with one hand and his head with the other, breathing heavily.
The confrontation with him consumed almost all her energy.
Fu Jingchuan stepped forward with a calm face and picked her up without saying a word.
Shi Yang subconsciously struggled to get down by himself.
Fu Jingchuan held her arm expressionlessly.
"Don't make me do anything to you."
Even his voice was extremely cold.
His arms were pressed so tightly that Shiyang didn't have the strength to struggle.
He carried her downstairs, put her into the car, then walked around the front of the car and got in the car.
He sent her home.
Not her home in Sheung Shui Wan, nor the home he lives in now, but their former home.
The wedding room located in Yujingwan.
When Shiyang's car was about to enter the community, Shiyang finally recognized that this was the home where she had lived for two years.
The feeling of suffocation comes as the scenery becomes more and more familiar.
Shi Yang subconsciously sat up straight.
"Don't go in, please."
she begged softly.
Fu Jingchuan ignored her and even increased the accelerator.
Shiyang almost begged and turned around to beg him: "Fu Jingchuan, don't do this. I don't want to come back here, I don't want it."
But Fu Jingchuan still ignored her.
When the car finally stopped in the unusually familiar underground garage, Shiyang pushed the door open without hesitation, turned around and left.
Fu Jingchuan got out of the car and grabbed her, dragging her towards the elevator.
Shiyang suddenly became excited, more excited than ever before.
She kept struggling, kept trying to pull her hand away, and desperately wanted to escape from here.
All the memories related to this place rushed towards her like a tide, and the shadow was so thick that it could not be resolved, making her feel more and more suffocated, and she almost fainted.
At the end, Shiyang burst into tears. She kept crying and begging him not to force her.
She lost her child here and buried her love here.
Here, she slowly turned from full of expectations for the future to gloomy and confused.
This place is filled with all her repression and suppressed self-doubt from those two years.
Fu Jingchuan watched all her struggles, cries and begging with cold eyes, remaining indifferent.
At the end of the day, Shi Yang was already crying, squatting on the ground, crying so hard that he was out of breath.
She felt extremely uncomfortable.
Both psychological and physical.
The whole person was once again gripped by the feeling of powerlessness that could not be escaped no matter how hard he tried.
She forced Fu Jingchuan, and Fu Jingchuan had thousands of ways to force her.
When Shiyang cried to the end, she almost knelt down to Fu Jingchuan and begged him to let her go.
She just wants to live her own life quietly, that's all.
