Marital problems spiral out of control

When Wen Hua returned to the villa, the housekeeper came to greet her.

"Madam, the master wants you to call him back." The butler relayed Fu Shishen's words verbatim.

Wen Hua paused for a moment, looked at her phone, and realized that it was out of battery.

Why did Fu Shishen call himself?

Wen Hua thought of the time she met Jiang Ruan after her IV drip ended.

So, did Jiang Ruan go and complain?

Thinking it over, Wen Hua lowered her eyes and replied, "Okay, I'll call him back in a bit."

The butler didn't say anything and quietly backed down.

When Wen Hua returned to her room, it was already 10 p.m.

The phone was recharged, and there were countless missed calls, all from Fu Shishen.

Even if Fu Shishen didn't cheat on her, she would assume he was worried about her coming home late.

Now, Wen Hua only wants to know how ruthless Fu Shishen can be in this matter.

After calming herself down, Wen Hua called Fu Shishen back.

Before Wen Hua could speak, Fu Shishen's stern voice rang out: "Wen Hua, I've told you before, don't go to her anymore. She's pregnant now and can't withstand any more stress."

Sure enough, it was Jiang Ruan who complained.

"Did she complain to you?" Wen Hua asked quietly, her tone calm and composed.

"Jiang Ruan isn't that kind of person. It was the bodyguard who saw it." Fu Shishen was focused on Jiang Ruan. "She never said a bad word about you to me from beginning to end, and she didn't have any intention of taking Mrs. Shen's position. You're the one who framed her."

Wen Hua simply listened.

So, it's all her fault.

Jiang Ruan, who provoked and acted recklessly in front of her.

In front of Fu Shishen, she is an innocent and aggrieved little woman.

She became that aggressive, unreasonable villain.

"Shi Shen," Wen Hua suddenly called out Fu Shi Shen's name.

Fu Shishen fell silent for a moment.

Wen Hua's voice was too calm, completely different from before.

Previously, Wen Hua had often thrown tantrums at him regarding Jiang Ruan.

As long as Fu Shishen doesn't explain or change his expression, Wen Hua will apologize and admit her mistake.

But now, Wen Hua's tone has become as if she is negotiating.

This feeling made Fu Shishen extremely uncomfortable, as if the person who was once under his control had suddenly lost control.

Then, Wen Hua's voice came through: "Are you sure she doesn't want the position of Mrs. Shen?"

"You're getting more and more unreasonable and argumentative!" Fu Shishen immediately flew into a rage. "I've told you countless times, she's not that kind of person! I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. You're staying home for now and aren't allowed to go out, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, Fu Shishen hung up the phone.

Wen Hua stared at the phone after it was disconnected, her eyes stinging with tears, but she didn't cry.

She's probably cried herself dry.

Wen Hua stood up; her phone was still charging.

She turned around and went to the dressing room, took out her suitcase and opened it.

In the dressing room, her and Fu Shishen's clothes were neatly arranged.

In the past, Wen Hua would personally tidy up their clothes, and leaning against them like that, she would feel that the marriage was becoming more and more real.

But now, it's all self-deception.

She quietly packed her usual clothes into her suitcase.

She then realized that after living in the Fu family for seven years, all she could take with her was this small 24-inch suitcase.

After getting ready, Wen Hua felt a bit sore in the back and waist, after all, she was pregnant.

So she sat carefully on the bed.

Her slender hands rested on her lower abdomen, and her voice softened.

"Baby, be a good girl, okay?" Wen Hua coaxed.

She knew that he was just an embryo, but she also knew that this child was all she had placed her hopes on.

It wasn't until Wen Hua calmed down that she picked up her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It was already 1 a.m. when Wen Hua fell asleep.

She glanced at her phone out of habit.

Without Fu Shishen's phone call, the gossip surrounding them on the app's headlines intensified.

Neither Fu Shishen nor Jiang Ruan denied it.

Wen Hua ignored it, put her phone away, and tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep.

Wen Hua got up and went downstairs with her luggage.

The housekeeper was stunned when he saw it: "Madam, what are you doing?"

"I'm moving out, and I probably won't be coming back," Wen Hua said without hiding anything.

The butler was at a loss for words.

Having served the Wen family for so many years, he also knew that Fu Shishen and Wen Hua treated each other with the utmost respect.

But Wen Hua is gentle and mild-mannered, and never argues with Fu Shishen.

She was polite to everyone, including the servants, whom she treated with great respect.

He really thought Wen Hua and Fu Shishen would stay together forever, but now they've broken up just like that.

The butler could guess that it was probably due to recent rumors.

He didn't want to ask too many questions.

"Madam, does Mr. Fu know about this?" the housekeeper asked, frowning.

"Hmm," Wen Hua mumbled in response.

The butler nodded.

That's true. If Wen Hua wants to leave, she must tell Fu Shishen.

So the housekeeper didn't think much of it and offered to arrange a car for Wen Hua, but Wen Hua refused.

She left alone with her luggage in a taxi.

She owns an apartment in the city, which is the only property her mother left her before she passed away.

"Huahua, I know this is worthless to the Fu family. But you have a house to rely on. If something happens to you one day, at least you'll have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

That statement has now become a reality.

Wen Hua pushed open the door and went inside.

The apartment isn't old, and someone comes to clean it every week. Wen Hua only needs to tidy it up a bit before she can move in.

She ordered the missing items online, and they will be delivered today.

At noon, Wen Hua ordered takeout, which was her favorite pickled pepper frog.

She hadn't eaten it in the seven years since she was married to Fu Shishen.

Because Fu Shishen doesn't like such strong flavors.

Wen Hua is now enjoying her meal to the fullest by herself.

She was prepared to leave in three months, so before that, she needed to get a head start on understanding the team's current progress.

When you're busy, you won't have any random thoughts.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Wen Hua and Fu Shishen have not been in contact with each other, and the rumors that were rampant before have suddenly disappeared overnight.

It felt like it was being suppressed.

Wen Hua didn't pay attention.

She thought that Jiang Ruan's identity was indeed not suitable for these rumors.

Fu Shishen will naturally handle it.

Wen Hua was focused on the computer screen, discussing work-related matters with Zhou Yi.

At that time—

Fu Shishen sent Jiang Ruan home from the hospital and found her a luxurious apartment to rest and recuperate during her pregnancy.

The previous apartment was always staking out by reporters. Jiang Ruan was afraid of upsetting her baby, so she playfully asked to move to another place. Fu Shishen agreed without hesitation.

"Aren't you staying?" Jiang Ruan asked Fu Shishen quietly.

"I have something to do," Fu Shishen coaxed.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect it to be this serious. I made you stay with me at the hospital for so long, which must have caused you a lot of work trouble." Jiang Ruan lowered her head and apologized. "You go ahead and do your work. Auntie and the baby are here with me, everything will be alright."

"Hmm," Fu Shishen replied.

Jiang Ruan naturally wrapped her arms around Fu Shishen's waist and kissed his thin lips.

"I will miss you," Jiang Ruan said.

Fu Shishen smiled and bowed his head, then gave instructions to the aunt before turning and leaving in a hurry.

He thought that Wen Hua hadn't contacted him for a week and had admitted her mistake.
