Chapter 203 She's no longer my woman.
Chapter 203 She's no longer my woman.
Zhang Xinru did not think carefully about the hidden meaning in Dr. Zhao's words.
"The company seems fine, so why has Fu Xiaochen become so stingy? There's something wrong, definitely something wrong, it couldn't be..."
Dr. Zhao recalled that last time, because Fu Xiaochen was about to celebrate his birthday, Zhang Ma made up some ridiculous and tragic stories for him.
Amused, she interrupted her speculation, "Don't overthink it. There's nothing seriously wrong with the company, so just relax!"
"But………"
Zhang Xinru wanted to say something more, but she felt that things weren't so simple. However, Dr. Zhao seemed to see right through her.
"There are no buts. Even if the young master goes bankrupt, he still has the ability to support this big family and pay everyone's wages, so don't worry."
Zhang Xinru felt somewhat embarrassed when Dr. Zhao's words revealed her thoughts, and she retorted.
"No, who said I was worried about that?" Yeah, right.
Fearing that Dr. Zhao might make fun of her, she quickly changed the subject to distract herself.
"By the way, young master has made up with Miss Jiajia, so he probably won't be sleeping in my bedroom tonight. So your plan to sleep in my bedroom is doomed."
Dr. Zhao gave me a resentful look. "So that's why you agreed so readily! You were waiting for me here!"
Zhang Xinru looked smug and kept talking nonstop.
"You've been tricked, haven't you? Too late. Don't you realize that once they've made up, how could they possibly still be sleeping in my bedroom..."
Dr. Zhao looked at her with doting eyes, and unlike usual, he didn't say anything that would make him want to punch someone.
Thinking back to their first meeting, Zhang Ma was infatuated with him. What was he doing at the time?
Oh, right, he coldly left some medicine and then departed.
What was he pretending to be back then?!
Despite having so many opportunities to spend time together later, what was he doing? He was only focused on bickering and teasing Zhang Ma. By the time he realized his own feelings, it was too late.
He was like a voyeur, hiding in the shadows every night, his gaze fixed on the figures embracing outside the door. He could see that Zhang Ma's eyes were full of love for Xiao Shi.
I originally thought that as long as I stayed away from Zhang Ma, this feeling would gradually fade away with time.
But he never expected that his longing for her would grow wildly like weeds, becoming increasingly intense.
Rather than using being busy at the hospital as an excuse to live outside in a near-self-torturing manner, it's better to return to a familiar place.
Her presence is here; even just seeing her from afar is better than this torment. That's enough.
As Zhang Xinru expected, Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia went back to their bedroom that night, inseparable.
They thought they could finally get a good night's sleep without being disturbed by others, but Xu Jiaojiao insisted on staying in their bedroom and wouldn't leave.
"I'm already in such a miserable state, what's wrong with you comforting me! I don't care, I don't care, I want to sleep with you, don't even think about kicking me out."
Zhang Xinru was convinced and sent away the crazy couple and Dr. Zhao, who was eyeing her bedroom, but unexpectedly, she left Xu Jiaojiao behind.
"Whatever you want, just don't go crazy tonight."
She figured Xu Jiaojiao wouldn't cause any trouble on her own, so she acquiesced and let her move in.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaojiao agreed readily at the time, but late at night she stayed up alone on Cloud Music, drinking red wine and listening to sad love songs.
"Wang Ma, do you think Brother Chen really hates me?"
"........."
"Aunt Zhang, tell me, am I really that bad? What is it about me that I'm inferior to Ye Jiajia? Tell me, tell me!"
"........."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she started singing sad songs along with her phone.
"Why does turning around bring another pang of heartache..."
The two people lying to the side originally planned to cover their ears and pretend to be dead, as if they hadn't heard anything.
But the shrill singing was just too torturous, especially since they had to go to work the next day! If this continued, they probably wouldn't get a good night's sleep at all.
Wang Ma couldn't take it anymore and interrupted, "Alright, alright, stop yelling. Your singing is awful."
Xu Jiaojiao took a sip of red wine, still immersed in her own singing, howling like a banshee, yet feeling quite pleased with herself.
Zhang Xinru suddenly rolled over, making a loud noise. "Did you stuff donkey hair in your earplugs? What are you doing, pretending to be a melancholy young lady in the middle of the night? Shut up and go to sleep!"
Seeing that the other party continued to do as she pleased, Zhang Xinru finally had to threaten Xu Jiaojiao with her worn socks to shut her up.
Xu Jiaojiao was extremely excited tonight and wasn't sleepy at all.
She thought it was because of heartbreak, completely unaware that it was because she got up too late that day and drank tea and coffee all afternoon.
If Zhang Xinru knew what was going on, she would never have let Xu Jiaojiao drink so much stimulant.
The two were harassed by Xu Jiaojiao until midnight last night, and unsurprisingly, they overslept this morning, thus missing the argument upstairs.
Wang Ma was still lamenting that after lying down for two days, she would soon have to go back to serving Miss Jiajia as before, but she never expected that she would be caught off guard as soon as she stepped out of the bedroom.
"Young Master, Miss Jiajia..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Xiaochen interrupted her with a cold face.
“Wang Ma, you don’t need to be polite to this woman. She’s no longer my woman.”
Wang Ma: "..."
Are they quarreling again?
"So, is Miss Jiajia now... a servant or something?"
Zhang Xinru, who was following behind, was somewhat relieved that she had been a step behind Wang Ma. Yesterday, Fu Xiaochen said that he was different from her, but today he is the same? His face changes so quickly.
Fu Xiaochen's mind kept replaying the scene that happened this morning—he accidentally saw Ye Jiajia's chat history.
At that moment, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, plunging his heart into an ice cellar.
He never imagined that this woman had always harbored the thought of leaving him; every word she uttered was like a sharp blade, piercing him deeply.
"What else could she be? Of course, whatever you are, that's what she is. She's not good enough to be my woman."
Unless he lets go, Ye Jiajia can forget about leaving his side.
Zhang Xinru secretly rolled her eyes. What are we? You're begging me to be your woman, do you think I care?
"Fu Xiaochen, let me explain. It's not what you think. I didn't mean to leave you..."
Ye Jiajia chased after him downstairs, wanting to explain.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao's mind started racing again, and she quickly grabbed Fu Xiaochen's arm before Ye Jiajia could speak.
"Brother Chen, will our engagement still go ahead as planned next month?"
Fu Xiaochen neither agreed nor refused; he wanted to hear how this woman would explain herself.
Little did Ye Jiajia know that Fu Xiaochen's behavior was seen as tacit agreement, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say to explain.
