Marital problems spiral out of control

Wen Hua responded with an "oh," nodding, neither denying nor admitting it.

Suddenly, a hint of coldness filled the air.

Then Fu Shishen broke the silence: "Go to sleep."

He had nothing more to say.

Wen Hua didn't want to make a fool of herself.

Whether it was from exhaustion or something else, Wen Hua fell asleep soon after lying down.

After confirming that Wen Hua was fast asleep, Fu Shishen...

He got up quietly.

But he didn't go anywhere; he just stood by the French windows.

From this angle, he could still see Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan showed no intention of leaving.

The rain in Jiangzhou is getting heavier and heavier.

The umbrella the housekeeper gave us before is completely useless now.

The rain was falling at an angle, and it felt like being cut by a knife as it fell on people.

Not to mention Jiang Ruan, even Fu Shishen, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window watching, felt the pain.

But he knew very well that this was a game of strategy.

He and Jiang Ruan had been arguing for far too long.

This means that the game between them will become increasingly prolonged.

Whoever bows down first will be endlessly submissive in the future.

His personality would absolutely not allow him to fall into such a sorry state.

Therefore, Fu Shishen did not make a move.

His phone screen lit up from time to time.

He simply muted it.

So the room remained very quiet.

But the phone number on the screen was always Jiang Ruan's.

Fu Shishen didn't answer either.

But he couldn't deny that Jiang Ruan had indeed driven him to a dead end.

Even he couldn't predict who would ultimately win in this game.

Fu Shishen's hands, which were in his pockets, gradually clenched into fists.

The light in his eyes grew increasingly sinister.

The master bedroom was eerily quiet.

Since becoming pregnant, Wen Hua has become extremely sensitive to her environment.

Fu Shishen was absent most of the time.

Wen Hua doesn't need to be tense.

Today is unusual, not only is Fu Shishen here, but it's also raining outside.

His screen was also constantly lit up.

As a result, Wen Hua has difficulty falling asleep.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Shishen standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The rain outside was getting heavier.

The raindrops made a crisp sound when they hit the French windows.

Wen Hua immediately guessed that Jiang Ruan hadn't left.

Fu Shishen did not go out either.

She became increasingly quiet, and for the first time, I couldn't quite figure her out.

Whether it was because of Jiang Ruan or Fu Shishen, she couldn't be sure.

This puts Wen Hua in the middle, caught in the middle, neither here nor there.

With this in mind, Wen Hua quietly watched Fu Shishen.

Fu Shishen noticed what kind of look he was getting.

So he turned around naturally.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

But neither of them spoke; they just looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Fu Shishen asked Wen Hua casually.

Even his tone was calm and collected; you couldn't possibly guess what Fu Shishen was thinking.

Wen Hua lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Fu Shishen did not take the initiative.

Then Wen Hua's voice came: "It's raining outside."

Fu Shishen hummed in agreement.

Wen Hua didn't mind and continued, "The rain is very noisy, and the soundproofing in the room doesn't seem very good. Also, your phone screen is always on, and it's making my eyes hurt."

She spoke slowly and deliberately, but it was all just an excuse.

The villa is very well soundproofed, so it doesn't affect Wen Hua at all.

The cell phone wasn't on Wen Hua's bedside table, but on the table.

Fu Shishen had already turned the screen brightness down to the lowest setting.

It has absolutely no impact on Wen Hua.

"Okay, I'll have someone handle it later." Fu Shishen remained indifferent. "Go to sleep."

Wen Hua just watched without paying any attention.

That look made Fu Shishen somewhat unhappy.

"She didn't leave?" Wen Hua suddenly smiled and asked calmly.

Fu Shishen frowned, knowing full well who Wen Hua was asking, and his displeasure became even more apparent.

However, he remained outwardly calm, merely looking at Wen Hua with a cold expression.

"It's raining outside. The rain in Jiangzhou seems endless. Plus, the weather hasn't been good lately. I can tell from this rain that it's only going to get heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping," Wen Hua said calmly.

This gesture seemed to be provoking Fu Shishen.

She didn't even care about Fu Shishen's gloomy face, staring intently at the man.

"She's such a fragile person, and she's pregnant now. I remember it's about the same stage as mine, right?" Wen Hua provoked Fu Shishen.

"If you keep getting wet, something bad will happen sooner or later. At best, you'll just get a fever and a cold; at worst, you might lose the baby." She finished speaking calmly.

Fu Shishen's gaze grew increasingly deep as he stared intently at Wen Hua.

He walked step by step toward Wen Hua, stopping at the bedside.

Wen Hua's gaze remained arrogant, without any attempt to evade.

These spoken words are like spilled water, leaving no room for reversal.

She knew this better than anyone else.

Wen Hua made no attempt to hide her feelings.

It was as if they were testing Fu Shishen.

To test where his bottom line really lies.

To test what this person is up to.

Because Fu Shishen's inexplicable emotions towards him now seem to be a game of wits between himself and Jiang Ruan.

Wen Hua was naturally unhappy as well.

If things are tough, then let's all have tough times together.

Why should she be the only one to suffer this?

She was unhappy too.

"Wen Hua, so you never intended to live a good life, was that it?" Fu Shishen had already walked up to Wen Hua and asked in a deep voice.

Wen Hua simply smiled at Fu Shishen.

After a long silence, she finally spoke: "Fu Shishen, have we tried to have a proper relationship?"

One sentence left Fu Shishen speechless.

Since marrying Wen Hua, he has never intended to live a good life with her.

Fu Shishen has always used passive-aggressive tactics against Wen Hua.

Therefore, under these circumstances, he had no way to refute Wen Hua's words.

The temperature in the master bedroom dropped several degrees, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely tense.

No one broke the silence.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound coming from outside the master bedroom door.

Hasty yet cautious.

I was afraid of waking the people inside, but I also felt like I had no choice but to wake them up.

Wen Hua's gaze turned towards the entrance.

Soon, Uncle Zhang's hushed voice came through: "Mr. Fu, would you be available to come out for a moment?"

Fu Shishen's gaze deepened.

Wen Hua had already guessed it; it was because of Jiang Ruan.

Uncle Zhang was probably also afraid of something going wrong.

So Wen Hua smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, come in."

Uncle Zhang was clearly surprised that Wen Hua was still awake.

Now, Uncle Zhang was extremely embarrassed.

But Wen Hua had already spoken, so he forced himself to push open the door and come in.

Wen Hua didn't even give Fu Shishen a chance to speak before her eyes were already on Uncle Zhang.

"Is she still downstairs?" Wen Hua asked Uncle Zhang calmly.

Uncle Zhang became even more nervous, fearing that Wen Hua would forcefully make Jiang Ruan leave.
