“He was studying abroad. You don’t know how attentive Master Siqi was in his studies. He has a good memory and can recite books after reading them for several times.”
“He had been studying abroad for ten years?” asks Fu Zhengzheng, being unwilling to give up. “How often did he come back?”
Chen Qiaolan answers smilingly without hesitation, “I remember that he would only come back on vacation. Every time he came back, he asked me to cook his favorite dishes. He said that he could not eat such delicious dishes abroad.”
“Oh.” Fu Zhengzheng stares at Chen Qiaolan for quite a while but doesn’t see anything unusual on her face. Fu Zhengzheng sighs while her eyes are full of disappointment.
Although she has always suspected that Han Siqi is not Nian Xi, she cannot hide the sense of loss when the truth really appears in front of her.
If Han Siqi is not Nian Xi, where is Nian Xi?
Seeing Fu Zhengzheng be unhappy, Chen Qiaolan thinks that she still has a headache. “Miss Fu. If you feel uncomfortable, lie down and sleep for a while. When you fall asleep, you will not be painful.”
Fu Zhengzheng gives a forced smile and thinks of another question. “Aunt Chen, do you know Qiao Keren?”
Chen Qiaolan immediately looks up and thinks for a moment before answering, “Has Master Siqi mentioned her to you?”
Seeing Fu Zhengzheng shaking head, Chen Qiaolan refuses to say anything more. But Fu Zhengzheng thinks she has understood that Qiao Keren is one of Han Siqi’s girlfriends. After all, Han Siqi never refuses any beautiful woman.
Fortunately, he is not Nian Xi. But this idea doesn’t put Fu Zhengzheng at ease. She warns herself again: don’t forget the purpose of coming to B city. But now she has achieved nothing!
After the drip, Fu Zhengzheng feels much better. Seeing Chen Qiaolan go downstairs, she creeps into Han Siqi’s room.
Han Siqi’s room is very large, and the decoration is simple but tasteful. The most striking thing is a well-framed calligraphy work hanging on the wall, which says “When we see a man of virtue and talent, we should think of equalling them; when we see a man of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves—to my beloved son Siqi”. Fu Zheng can’t help smiling lightly. His father is apparently a gentle and elegant person. Han Sixian is somewhat similar to his father, but Han Siqi…
Seeing the huge black-and-white bed in the room, Fu Zhengzheng feels that she has every reason to curl her lips. Look at this bed and you will know how much Han Siqi likes bed and how much he likes sex.
After confirming that there is no camera in the room, she has no time to think about these idle things and begins to look through the drawer. But she doesn’t find what she wants in it. She is a little disappointed and curses Han Siqi for being so stingy—she can’t find even a coin!
She sits in bed with some frustration.
When her eyes fall on the bookcase that is full of books and that occupies a whole wall, she stands up automatically, looking at it in a daze. In Nian Xi’s chamber, there is also a wall made into a bookcase which is also full of books. Is it a coincidence?
It is normal to have similar style of decoration.
But is it really a coincidence?
Fu Zhengzheng touches the book in the bookcase with her hands, and she thinks of the scene that Nian Xi, standing by the bookcase, smiles at her. She tries hard to match the images of Han Siqi and Nian Xi, but fails finally.
“What are you looking for?” Han Siqi’s voice suddenly appears.
Being frightened, Fu Zhengzheng looks at Han Siqi for a long time before she speaks hesitatingly, “I, I am bored after the drip and want to find a book to read.”
“Just to find a book?”
“Yes!” Fu Zhengzheng nods hard, inwardly blaming for her negligence.
Han Siqi gently strokes Fu Zhengzheng’s face and says softly, “I thought you came to my room because you missed me.”
Fu Zhengzheng takes his hand off, knowing that he is going to take advantage of her. Then she randomly takes a book and turns around to leave.
But Han Siqi pulls her hand, making her fall in his arms. He bites her earlobe and continues to tease her, “Sitting in my room, you will soon get better.”
Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head and pushes him away. She stares at him angrily. “Han Siqi, do you so much like to come on to women?”
“It depends on whom!” Han Siqi purposely smacks his lips. “Someone as young as you can better suit my taste.”
“Bah!” Fu Zhengzheng spits at him and asks, “What on earth have you done to Lin Jiao?”
“Well, I just let her disappear in B city.” Han Siqi understates.
“You, did you really kill her?” Fu Zhengzheng is terrified. “You needn’t to go as far as that. Even if she asked someone to set a fire in my house, I and Fu Xing didn’t get hurt, let alone the fire was not set by her. How can you kill people so carelessly? Are you legally illiterate? You’re going to go to jail for doing that!”
“If I go to jail, you deliver meals for me.”
Fu Zhengzheng struggles to stand up and says earnestly, “Han Siqi, you should give yourself up.”
Han Siqi laughs, “Confess your crime, and you will be put behind bars; Plead not guilty, and you will go home for the New Year.”
“You!” Fu Zhengzheng stamps her foot. “How could you do that? You are a murderer now. Did you ever think that your family would worry about you when you committed murder?”
“Will you worry about me?” Han Siqi grasps Fu Zhengzheng’s hand and asks.
“I…” Fu Zhengzheng is ambivalent.
“Will you report me?” Han Siqi asks again.
“I, I…” Fu Zhengzheng bites her teeth and says, “I will!”
“Will you deliver meals for me?”
“Yes!”
Han Siqi pulls her to his arms again. “I prefer to eat your cooking at home.”
“But...”
Han Siqi is happy, and he says in an indifferent way, “They left the B city last night for fearing that what they have done will be revealed.”
They? Fu Zhengzheng suddenly understands that Lin Jiao, Lin Hong and their family have all left B city last night. Otherwise Han Siqi would not send Fu Xing to kindergarten so early this morning.
“Was it really done by Lin Jiao?” Fu Zhengzheng is still a bit unbelievable.
“If it wasn’t her, why would she run away? Are you better?”
“Much better.” Fu Zhengzheng pushes Han Siqi away. “Aren’t you going to the company? Why are you back?”
“I worry about you. It is said that patients are all very dependent on others.”
Having been accustomed to Han Siqi’s flirtatious remarks, Fu Zhengzheng still can’t help being moved. But thinking of what Chen Qiaolan said, she grows gloomy again—he is not Nian Xi.
Han Siqi finds something strange. “Are you still uncomfortable?”
Fu Zhengzheng immediately shakes head and says, “I just recall that I hated to take bitter medicine when I was sick as a child. Every time I took medicine, my mother would always feed me, and my father would wait aside with sugar in his hands. When my mother finished feeding me medicine, my father would feed me sugar. Besides, when I was sick, my parents would not go to work. They would accompany me at home until I got better.”
“As expected, patients are apt to be sentimental. I will also be by your side waiting for you to get better.”
Such warm words have touched Fu Zhengzheng. She remembers the days when her parents regarded her as the apple of their eye. At that time, her parents would try their best to give her whatever she wanted as long as they could. At that time, she felt that she was the happiest girl in the world. She never knew what it was like to be sad until the appearance of Fu Xing, who has changed her fate.
But even if she is displaced, she is willing, because of Nian Xin in her heart.
She tearfully looks at the man in front of her, and then her heart hurts, because he is Han Siqi, not Nian Xi!
“Are you crying? Do you miss your parents? Go to visit them if you miss them!” Han Siqi gently blames her while wiping her tears.
Conscious of her improper behavior, Fu Zhengzheng hurries to wipe her tears with her sleeve, sobbing and explaining, “They, they have passed away.”
Afraid that he will ask other questions, she quickly shifts the topic, “What about you? Tell me about your experience of being sick as a child?”
After that, she confesses to her parents thousands of times in her heart.
“When I was a child...” Han Siqi pauses for a while and says, “When I was a child, I was strong. I never got sick. Unlike you, I was not fragile.”
“Did you never get sick? How come? Are you made of iron?”
“I’m made of steel, Iron Chivalrous, ha-ha.”
“I thought you were going to say you were Monkey King.”
“Monkey King came out of a crack in the stone. I was born by my mother.”
“You might be naughtier than Monkey King when you were a kid. Your mother worried about you very much, didn’t she? Will you tell me something interesting about you and your school?
“I forget everything when I was a child.” Han Siqi stretches out and stands up.
“Forget? How can you forget it? I remember the things even when I was three years old.”
Han Siqi knocks on her head and says, “You just remember lots of things about the past, so there’s no room in your brain for the present things. Okay, since you are fine, I should go to the company. My elder brother is waiting for me to report to him.”
“Fuck! You are cursing me indirectly!”
Han Siqi smiles and leers at her. As he is about to leave, Fu Zhengzheng hurriedly begs to him, “Well, I want to borrow some money from you. I, I want to buy some food for Fu Xing later.”
“I will take him to buy it when I pick him up from school.”
“No! You can’t buy him whatever he wants.” Seeing that Han Siqi doesn’t promise, she pretends to be embarrassed and says, “I, I want to buy something that we women use.”
Now Han Siqi doesn’t insist and he gives her a small amount of money in his wallet. “I seldom bring cash with me. I’ll get some for you later.”
Watching Han Siqi leave, she looks at the money in her hand and then looks at Han Siqi’s room. She sits down, thinking of the dialogue with Han Siqi, and then she jumps up immediately.
He said that he had forgotten everything about his childhood. Has he ever had amnesia?
If he really had amnesia, is his experience of studying abroad, as Chen Qiaolan said, a fiction? Is it to create a memory for him so as not to make him feel his childhood is blank? She remembers when she knew Nian Xi, he told her that he had been confined by his aunt in a chamber for ten years. Although he knew a lot of knowledge about books, his ability to deal with people in reality remained in his teens.Nian Xi said that he would learn from his elder brother and be a real man like him.So, in just six years, can a child who spent ten years in a chamber really become so strong? You know, Han Siqi works in Weihan independently.Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head. Estimating that Han Siqi may have gone far, she goes out with money too.She leaves the villa district, walks a few more streets and waits at the corner of a small teahouse nearby.Not long after, she sees Yang Tao rush in. He grabs her hand and ask
“Are you concerned about the traffic accident or about my relationship with Xiaomeng?” Han Siqi stops the car and tilts his head, looking at Fu Zhengzheng with a faint smile.Realizing that she has asked quite eagerly, Fu Zhengzheng has to suppress all her curiosity. But she refuses to admit that she is concerned about his relationship with Li Xiaomeng, and refuses to get on his car.Han Siqi no longer insists. He drives slowly and says unexpectedly, “I don’t think I should hire an employee who doesn’t obey the leader’s command even during the probationary period.”Although Fu Zhengzheng is a bit frustrated, she gets on his car. What if he really fires her due to unhappiness? After all, she can’t lose the job.To be honest, she doesn’t want to take his car to work not because she is unhappy. The real reason is that she doesn’t want to be gossiped by other colleagues if they see she go to work and get back together with Han Siqi, wh
“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Fu Xing asks nervously.“I, I left my purchases in the taxi. I’m so careless.” Fu Zhengzheng stammers while feeling ashamed. When she looked at the mobile phone, she asked Yang Tao to hold the bag with bras in it. After she put the phone away, she hurried to leave and forgot to bring the bag back.Fu Xing breathes a sigh of relief, says with a grin, “It’s not the first time that you leave things behind. It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t leave yourself behind.”Fu Zhengzheng pinches Fu Xing’s face and can’t help laughing.“Come and eat. Fu Xing said he was hungry just now.” Chen Qiaolan smilingly serves everyone a bowl of meal. After dinner, Fu Zhengzheng helps Chen Qiaolan clean the table, and Fu Xing also comes to help. He wipes the table which Chen Qiaolan has wiped once again with a rag, and asks, “Grandma Chen, did my daddy was a good boy like me when he was a child?”“Yes,
When Fu Zhengzheng secretly puts the plasticine mouse in her pocket, Han Siqi comes out with Fu Xing in his arms. She hurries to take her son and takes him back to the room.After returning to their room, Fu Zhengzheng begins to pat Fu Xing to sleep. After playing for a day, Fu Xing soon falls asleep.Amid her son’s even breathing, Fu Zhengzheng turns around and leans against the wall to listen to the sound of the next room, and then she creeps to Han Siqi’s room with her mobile phone in hand.She has planned to come to Han Siqi with the excuse that she doesn’t know how to use the mobile phone.Han Siqi doesn’t lock the door. Fu Zhengzheng puts the plasticine mouse back and prepares for a while before suddenly screaming, “Ah—”There is sound in the bathroom immediately. Just five seconds later, Fu Zhengzheng sees Han Siqi rush out of the bathroom. But to her disappointment, Han Siqi is wearing a very hateful bath towel around
Chapter 27 Live TogetherWhen she recognizes it is Lin Jiao, her face immediately sinks and she looks around and says, “What else do you want to do? If you go on like this, I won’t be so easy on you!”But instead of seeing Lin Jiao’s helpers, she hears Lin Jiao keep apologizing in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Miss Fu, I shouldn’t have done that to you. It’s my fault. Please forgive me.”Fu Zhengzheng then notices Lin Jiao’s haggard face, completely contrary to her previous arrogance. Fu Zhengzheng is shocked but still doesn’t believe. “That fire was really set off by you?”Lin Jiao shakes her head desperately, but after pausing for thought, she nods furiously. “I did that. I am sorry.”Fu Zhengzheng asks, “Haohao wasn’t hurt badly, and you know that. Do you think you should go so far as to kill me for such a trivial matter? You didn’t take national laws seriously at all. Fortunately, we were quick to react; otherwise, I do
Just as Fu Zhengzheng is getting secretly anxious, Han Siqi holds an earring in his hand and says, “Are you looking for it?”“Why is it here? I don’t know where I dropped it.” Fu Zhengzheng looks at the earring in surprise and answers immediately, pretending to be happy to take it. “I have been looking for it everywhere.”She did drop an earring yesterday, and she didn’t know where it was. Hearing Han Siqi’s words, she secretly thanks God for helping her.But Han Siqi holds the earring in his hand and asks, “Was it supposed to be dropped at home?”Fu Zhengzheng’s hand stops in the air and stammers, “Er, I, I don’t remember where I lost it, so I have been looking for it everywhere. This, this is my favorite pair of earrings.”Han Siqi seems satisfied with her answer and hands her the earring. “Since you like it very much, you should keep it well. The lost things can’t be found every time.”Although Fu Zheng
It is Han Sixian.“Aunt Chen, you are really here. Have you had dinner yet? Siqi didn’t answer the phone.” Han Sixian greets Chen Qiaolan with a smile.“Young master…” Chen Qiaolan is stunned, looking uneasily at Han Siqi in the living room.Han Sixian realizes that there is something wrong. When he sees Fu Zhengzheng standing in the living room with clothes in her hands, his face immediately sinks, looking at Han Siqi with an inquiring eye.“Brother, you are here.” Han Siqi’s face has returned to normal. “Have you had dinner yet? If not, come and eat with us.”Fu Zhengzheng also immediately greets him with a smile, “Good evening, President Han.”Ignoring Fu Zhengzheng, Han Sixian snorts and says, “Come upstairs.”Then he goes upstairs alone.Fu Zhengzheng knows that he didn’t say that to her, and looks at Han Siqi awkwardly.Han Siqi smiles and points at the dining r
“I will call you later.” Fu Zhengzheng hangs up the phone in a hurry. As she turns around to see Han Siqi’s expressionless face, she is startled, and immediately covers up smilingly, “It’s a friend of mine. We haven’t met for a long time, so we just called to greet.”Han Siqi raises his eyebrows and says, “Oh? So you’ll call him later. Is it called mutual greetings?”Realizing her slip of tongue, Fu Zhengzheng hastens to explain, “No, no, I mean, uh, I will call her again next time.”“Go and sort out the documents for me and bring them upstairs.” After saying that, Han Siqi goes to the elevator.Fu Zhengzheng hurries to pick up documents that have sorted out on the table and sends them upstairs. She knows that the company is holding a video conference this morning.When she sends the documents to the conference room, she sees that the video conference is ready, and everybody has arrived except Han Siqi, who is going to
