Chapter 146 What Can I Do to Keep You
Wen Zhixia's head buzzed.
She froze on the spot, her mind going blank as she looked at Fu Ruo kneeling in front of her.
"you......"
After a long while, she frantically tried to pull him away. "You've been drinking, haven't you? Get up! What are you talking about?"
"I didn't drink." Fu Ruoshi raised his head and fixed his eyes on her face. "I only want to be with you in this life, Wen Zhixia. I only love you."
Wen Zhixia's eyes suddenly turned red.
She stared at Fu Ruoshi blankly for a long time. There was no trace of lust or impulse in his eyes, only endless expectation and fear.
Why, why does he always throw difficult problems to me?
Wen Zhixia squatted on the ground helplessly, curled up like a hedgehog, buried her face in her knees, and sobbed softly.
"Don't cry," Fu Ruoshi moved to her side and raised his hand to ruffle her hair. "Ancestor...when you cry, the sky falls on me."
"Why," Wen Zhixia's voice came out muffled, "Why are you telling me this?"
Fu Ruoshi coughed and said, "Because I'm pregnant."
Wen Zhixia couldn't help laughing at the unexpected answer and burst into tears.
"What nonsense are you talking about."
Fu Ruoshi made her laugh and reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
Seeing the coquettish expression in her tearful eyes, a brief flash of tenderness crossed his face, but it soon turned into a heavy cloud of sorrow again.
a few hours ago.
Through his connections in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, he found the man who was lingering in front of Wen Zhixia's car outside the cemetery.
This man used to be the captain of the security team of Zhao Xiaoning's winery. Although he has resigned now, Fu Ruoshi is very worthy of him. Their Zhao family has employed many such people, all of whom are temporary workers without a regular salary and are specifically used to do illegal work.
Could it be that Zhao Xiaoning has taken a fancy to Wen Zhixia?
Not really, Fu Ruoshi thought, didn’t he just get engaged to Xu Hui?
Zhao Xiaoning had a lot of negative news in his early years. In addition to causing his ex-wife to have a miscarriage, he also pursued an 18th-tier actress in Jincheng. The girl had a very strong personality and said some very unpleasant things that irritated Zhao Xiaoning. Not long after that, news came out that she had died of an overdose of drugs.
After that, Zhao Xiaoning kept a low profile for a while. The next news we heard about him was that he was engaged to Xu Hui. He seemed to have turned over a new leaf and was doing charity work to whitewash himself.
Why would he mess with the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, the most powerful family, at this time of whitewashing? It doesn't make sense.
Fu Ruoshi quickly thought of another possibility: Xu Hui asked him to do it.
As far as he knew, the only person who wanted to kill Wen Zhixia and took action was Xu Hui.
This speculation made Fu Ruoshi feel even more disgusted, because Xu Hui and Zhao Xiaoning were evil on top of evil and had no bottom line.
If it were a few years ago, when he was not married, he might not be lucky enough to confront these two people head-on. Now that he has Wen Zhixia, he absolutely cannot confront these two lunatics head-on.
So on the way here, he planned to send Wen Zhixia to the United States first and solve the matter secretly himself.
Obviously this approach wouldn't work, and Wen Zhixia wouldn't agree to it.
At this moment, the living room was as quiet as a needle in a halo.
"Wen Zhixia, please remarry me. I beg you," Fu Ruoshi's voice sounded like a dilapidated cello. "I just want to make it up to you now. Please give me a chance, okay?"
He couldn't tell her the specific reason behind this, it was a bit dark, and he hoped she would never see it in her life, and he would protect her from it.
Wen Zhixia looked into Fu Ruoshi's eyes and read a rare sense of powerlessness in his eyes.
What's up with him?
"Are you being pursued by a woman again?" she wondered. "Or...are you using your marriage as a pretext to win people over?"
"No, I really want to make amends. I want to correct all the mistakes I made before and treat you well."
After saying that, Fu Ruoshi took out his phone and handed it to her, "Look, this is the picture I took of you."
Wen Zhixia took the phone, took a look at it, and her eyes, which had not yet dried, became moist again.
Hundreds of photos, all taken by Fu Ruoshi recently:
She was sitting at the hotel entrance, she was washing clothes, she was speaking on the stage, she was eating snail noodles, she was gnawing on a chicken drumstick at the dinner table...
He had never taken a picture of himself before.
Wen Zhixia clutched her phone absentmindedly, her eyes blurred with tears.
Unlike many men who like to deliberately take ugly photos of their girlfriends, Fu Ruoshi took beautiful photos of her, as beautiful as movie screenshots.
People who love you can always capture your best side.
"I posted these recent Moments specifically for you," Fu Ruoshi said, his throat tightening uncomfortably. "You said you wanted to see Manhattan, New Jersey, and my office. I took some photos for you. If there's anything else you want to see, I'll take you there. Let's go tomorrow, okay?"
Wen Zhixia's shoulders trembled, and huge waves surged in her chest.
So, was it this car accident that made him want to cherish himself more?
But after three years of waiting and disappointment after marriage, she could no longer give him her full trust.
"I don't want to remarry you."
Wen Zhixia suppressed her surging emotions, "I'm afraid you'll go back and tell others that being with me is a sure win, that I'm obedient and less troublesome, and that you just need a woman."
There was a loud bang in his heart, as if lightning struck his heart, creating a crack in the sky that even Nuwa could not repair.
"That's not what I really mean!" Fu Ruoshi was at a loss for words. "I've never really thought about it that way. I've liked you since high school. I've liked you for seven years. How could I think of you like that?"
Wen Zhixia didn't dare to look at him and tried hard to stay rational.
"Have you ever thought that maybe we are not suitable?"
She spoke in a steady tone, "We grew up in different environments and have different values. I have a strong sense of self-esteem and am insecure. Being with you is very exhausting. I don't know what you say is true and what is false. Every day I have to wonder if I have done something wrong, why did you lose contact again, why did your mother criticize me again, why didn't you come home again. I am very tired, and I don't want to be wasted on these meaningless things. Maybe we are not destined to be together!"
Fu Ruoshi's eyes were full of guilt.
But at the same time, he also felt a little relieved, because Wen Zhixia finally spoke out her heart knot. She was no longer suppressing her pain, enduring silence, and hurting herself internally as before.
He also knew which direction to work towards.
"Okay, I see."
Fu Ruoshi gently turned Wen Zhixia's shoulders and knelt in front of her again.
The proud man, like an eagle, knelt down for her twice tonight, begged her and admitted his mistakes to her, and also broke all his previous arrogance and pride.
Even if Wen Zhixia's heart was made of iron, it would become brittle now.
"Fu Ruoshi, please stop being like this. Stand up, please." She wiped the crystals from the corners of her eyes. "Do you know how precious your dignity is?"
"My dignity is important, but you are more important than it."
