Marital problems spiral out of control

After giving the instructions, Fu Shishen took Wen Hua downstairs.

We were extremely careful throughout the entire process.

The housekeeper quickly arranged dinner, and Fu Shishen ate with Wen Hua.

Wen Hua remained silent, and the atmosphere between the two was rather distant.

In the following days, Wen Hua finally realized that Fu Shishen had not left.

He would go to work at the company, but he would accompany me for all three meals a day.

If he is too busy to come back at noon, Fu Shishen will call Wen Hua.

If Wen Hua didn't answer, he would instruct the housekeeper to tell him the reason.

In the evenings, they would have dinner together, and he would accompany Wen Hua on a walk.

They didn't seem much different from any other couple.

Although their relationship was distant, Wen Hua gradually realized that she didn't seem to be against it.

I don't know if it's just a habit.

It was still the scene she most longed for deep down.

The two of them lived like this, neither good nor bad.

During this period, news about Jiang Ruan was scarce; she was never seen in the media, and even Fu Shishen never mentioned her.

Not to mention receiving a call from Jiang Ruan.

Such a perfect situation feels like a dream, somewhat unreal.

"Madam, it's time for your bird's nest soup." The housekeeper brought the stew to Wen Hua.

Wen Hua hummed in agreement.

The bird's nest was on the table; it was a little hot, so she waited for it to cool down before drinking it.

She was looking at her tablet when a message popped up on the app, which made Wen Hua quiet down for a moment.

Reporters photographed Fu Shishen driving to Jiang Ruan's apartment, where the two embraced.

Wen Hua's fingertips paused slightly, and a lonely smile appeared on her lips.

The warmth they felt was instantly shattered.

How could she be so naive as to think that Fu Shishen could let go of Jiang Ruan?

If it were really possible, how could things have come to this point between her and Fu Shishen?

Wen Hua didn't say anything; she didn't even want to look at such a scene anymore.

She closed her tablet and quietly ate the bird's nest.

It was as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, Fu Shishen appeared at Jiang Ruan's apartment, without even trying to avoid the reporters outside.

During this time, in order to appease Wen Hua, Fu Shishen frequently returned to the Fu family, naturally leaving him no time to care for Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan is very well-behaved and quiet.

But being a pregnant woman, Jiang Ruan broke down under such pressure.

She called Fu Shishen, crying as she talked about the contrast, saying she missed Fu Shishen and that her baby missed her father too.

Fu Shishen could sense Jiang Ruan's helplessness through the phone.

That woman who always stood silently behind him, never complaining.

Even in this situation, Jiang Ruan has not done anything excessive.

So when Fu Shishen received Jiang Ruan's call, her sobs melted his heart.

Without a second thought, he turned around and went straight to Jiang Ruan's apartment.

When I saw Jiang Ruan, she had obviously just finished crying; her eyes were red and swollen, and she still looked like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Shi Shen." Jiang Ruan threw herself into Fu Shi Shen's arms. "I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"No, it won't," Fu Shishen reassured him.

Jiang Ruan felt even more aggrieved: "The baby hasn't seen his father for a long time, and he hasn't been as active lately. When I went for my prenatal checkup, the doctor said that the baby still needs to interact with his father."

She used the baby in her belly as an excuse.

Jiang Ruan and Wen Hua became pregnant around the same time.

I'm about 14 weeks pregnant now, but my belly isn't showing much.

"Is it Wen Hua who doesn't want you to come?" Jiang Ruan looked up at Fu Shishen again. "That's true. Wen Hua is the rightful Mrs. Fu, so it's normal that she doesn't want you to see me. She's also pregnant, and this child is especially important to you. You finally managed to coax Wen Hua back, so you should go along with her."

Every word and phrase is understandable, but every word and phrase is shameless in its use of yin and yang.

"Don't overthink it. Be good," Fu Shishen continued to coax.

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything.

But she was genuinely scared.

Rumors circulated that Fu Shishen knelt before Wen Hua, and reporters were frequently calling him to inquire about the situation.

During this period, Fu Shishen didn't even contact her.

A small thing completely broke Jiang Ruan down.

"Shi Shen, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that one day everyone will condemn me and say I'm a mistress. I'm also afraid that all my efforts over the years will be ruined in the end." Jiang Ruan sighed. "The rumors in Jiangzhou are making me tremble with fear. Reporters keep calling me, and I don't know how to answer them anymore."

There was no direct blaming of Fu Shishen in the text, but every word was an implication.

Fu Shishen couldn't possibly misunderstand.

He looked down at Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan's eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Listen to me, I'm coaxing Wen Hua for the sake of the shares. She has to give birth to the child safely. Otherwise, we'll be entangled for even longer, and what good will that do you?" Fu Shishen asked Jiang Ruan in a low voice.

"I'm sorry..." Jiang Ruan apologized, "I shouldn't have pressed you so hard and pushed all this responsibility onto you. I know you've already worked so hard."

"You don't need to worry, no one in Jiangzhou will dare to say you're a third party," Fu Shishen promised.

Ginger wants more than just these things.

But she also knew what she could say and what she couldn't say.

Proceed step by step, like a steady stream.

"Yes, I know you're the best to me," Jiang said softly.

Her slender hand rested quietly against Fu Shishen's.

"My Ruan Ruan is the most sensible." Fu Shishen lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ruan's forehead.

Jiang Ruan looked at Fu Shishen with apparent satisfaction: "Shishen, I know you're very busy right now and can't take care of me, but my new drama is about to premiere, and that day is also my birthday, which is very meaningful to me. You've never missed it, so I hope you can come this year too, okay?"

She still pleaded softly, very gently and sensibly, with only Fu Shishen in her eyes.

"You know, these days, this is the best way to destroy these rumors. You won't let me down, right?" Jiang Ruan used a combination of soft and hard tactics.

Because of recent events, Fu Shishen couldn't pay attention to Jiang Ruan, and naturally felt guilty.

So she made this request, knowing that her birthday was also Wen Hua's birthday.

Every year, Fu Shishen was with her, not Wen Hua.

This is a powerful blow to Wen Hua.

"Shi Shen." Jiang Ruan suddenly thought of something and looked up at Fu Shi Shen.

Fu Shishen hummed in agreement: "Go ahead."

"I never ask for a formal title, but I don't want to become the third party in the reporters' eyes, as that would be a devastating blow to my career. So, I'm wondering if on this day, when the reporters ask, you can deny that you and Wen Hua are husband and wife, because the rumors these days are really too scary." Jiang Ruan said this very quietly.

She didn't even intend to make things difficult for Fu Shishen: "Shishen, of course, if you're unwilling, I won't force you. After all, the bigger picture is more important right now; Wen Hua and the child in her womb are the most important, and I understand that very well."

Having offered both soft and hard tactics, Fu Shishen was bound to make a decision.
