Chapter 28: Little Wife

The two of them looked at each other. Be it Jiang Yi or Fu Xiting, the two of them had a preconceived disgust for each other.

With this person in front of her, the first thing Jiang Yi thought of was to pull at the trees beside her.

Fu Xiting’s action of extending his hand overturned the “good impression” she had created in the past few days.

She was always making things difficult for him, but what about Fu Xiting?

He could sense everything just by stretching out his hand.

Jiang Yi pushed Fu Xiting away and wanted to take a step back.

The man’s words came at the right time. “There’s a ditch behind us.”

Jiang Yi’s outstretched hand paused in mid-air. Probably because the silly cat was still in the pit at this moment, she did not want to go down and accompany him.

“This huge mansion is full of traps. Mr. Fu, aren’t you going to reflect on yourself?”

“The presidential palace has to be repaired a few times a year, let alone my house.” Fu Xiting held Jiang Yi’s waist and took a step back. He only let go of her when they reached a safe area.

Jiang Yi’s shock had yet to subside.

She stared at Fu Xiting. She had thought that this man would use this as an excuse to make a fuss.

Unexpectedly, he glanced at her indifferently. It was as light as the spring breeze, but it could be felt by her.

Jiang Yi squatted down and unbuttoned the sleeves of her white shirt. She pushed them up and squatted by the pit. “Give me your claws.”

The American Shorthair seemed to understand her words and handed her its claws.

Was Jiang Yi shocked?

A little.

All these years, most of the people she had seen on various occasions were young people who were arrogant and condescending, just like Fu Xiting, whom she had crossed swords with a few times.

As for middle-aged and even old people, whether they were treating others well or interacting with them, they all had a modest appearance. They were gentle like jade and did not care about trifles.

Today, Fu Xiting made her vaguely see the shadows of some people.

Fu Xiting saw the momentary shock. The man did not say anything and walked to the watering tap at the side to turn on the water and wash his hands.

“You’re not going back?”

Fu Xiting took a few steps and saw that Jiang Yi had not moved. He turned back to look at her.

“Yu Garden’s drainage is being repaired recently. Don’t come out at night to wander around in case you step on a pit.”

The two of them returned to the residential building one after another. Su Xin was shocked when she saw that her master’s sleeves were wet. She thought of the cat that had just run back, covered in filth.

“Sir, are you alright?”

“Yeah.”

“Miss Jiang, I’m sorry. Yu Garden’s drainage system is being repaired these past few days. The pathways might not be easy to walk at night. I forgot to mention it to you.”

Jiang Yien replied, “I’m fine.”

“Where’s the cat?” The man took the dry towel from the servant and wiped the water from his body.

“Taken to the shower.”

“Lock him up for a few days.”

“Alright,” Su Xin replied warmly.

Fu Xiting was not a talkative person. Jiang Yi should know more about him than ordinary people. The young man was a victim of family conflict. He had been lying low for many years before turning the tables. Not only that, but he had also become the person who controlled the economic lifeline of the country. Just his surname alone was an admirable existence in this country.

How many people could be on par with the Fu family?

They could be counted on one hand.

However, these few people were famous throughout the country.

That night, Jiang Yi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, the dark circles under her eyes could hardly be hidden.

The more time passed, the more flustered she became.

That fear would always spread throughout her limbs and bones in the middle of the night.

It was hard for her to control.

It became her master.

On the other hand.

On the streets of the capital, a man was wearing a suit and had taken off his work pass.

Beside him, a pair of slender fingers handed him a canned beer. “Aren’t you ready to give up?”

The man curled his lips slightly. The night wind took away his thoughts. “Do I have a reason to give up?”

“You have no reason to give up, but you also have a family.”

The words of persuasion from the person beside him were not very sincere, but they were indeed very hurtful.

The man’s voice was hesitant and emotionless. He sounded like those people who had high hopes but knew that they had little hope. “This is how I will be in my life.”

Clang—

The beer bottle in the hands of the person beside him fell to the ground.

She stared at him and moved her lips, but she did not speak for a long time.

When Jiang Yi went downstairs, Fu Xiting happened to open the bedroom door and walk out. Their eyes met. When their eyes met, Fu Xiting’s hand that was buttoning his shirt paused for a moment.

“Morning,” the man said, breaking the silence.

“Morning,” Jiang Yi replied.

“Didn’t sleep well?”

“Mm.” Jiang Yi’s expression was indifferent.

Then, Fu Xiting saw that this person’s expression had instantly turned from dull to shrewd. He stared at her like a little gray wolf in the forest.

“I’m too used to my bed at home. Can Mr. Fu let me go back?”

Fu Xiting found it funny.

She thought to herself that this girl was quite smart.

“You have to get used to it sooner or later.”

Fu Xiting did not answer her. As he spoke, he went straight downstairs.

Jiang Yi felt that Fu Xiting’s words were wrong and chased after him. “I think your words are ambiguous. Getting used to it sooner or later is not scientifically valid. A person’s bodily functions and resistance will change with time. Perhaps if you let me go now, I will never get used to it.”

What was Jiang Yi doing?

She was thinking on Fu Xiting’s behalf.

The person who had wanted him to get lost two days ago had different thoughts today.

It was quite rare.

Did Fu Xiting agree?

Of course not.

Since he had made up his mind to keep Jiang Yi by his side, he naturally would not let her leave his control so easily.

“Jiang Yi,” the man said gently.

Seeing Fu Xiting stop in his tracks, Jiang Yi opened her eyes and looked at him.

She thought that Fu Xiting would say something that would make her happy, but this person stared into her eyes and said, “You didn’t wash your face, right?”

Jiang Yi was silent for a while. After thinking for a long time, she found the right words to retort Fu Xiting. “What does it have to do with you?”

Fu Xiting seemed to be in a good mood after winning a round.

At the dining table, during breakfast, Fu Xiting said calmly, “I’ll send you to school later.”

“You don’t intend to send me off. Mr. Fu happens to be going there too. You’re just dropping me off as it’s convenient.”

Fu Xiting did not dwell on Jiang Yi’s words and nodded lightly.

While Jiang Yi was going upstairs, she called Su Xin over.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the man faced the window and wiped his hands with a hot towel. His thoughts were far away. “Miss Jiang can’t have any accidents in Yu Garden.”

Su Xin was not shocked. She nodded slightly. “I understand.”

“The food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation will be according to a master’s standards. The Jiang family will send someone the day after tomorrow. Let’s scare the underling a little.”

“Anything in particular?”

“Change the way you address her.”

Su Xin was puzzled. “How should we address her?”

Fu Xiting was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth slightly. “Young Madam.”
