Chapter 1711
Fu Shen Yan was touched by me, his body obviously stiffened for a moment, and then the corners of his eyes spread into a smile, but only for a moment, he collected the emotions on his face, grabbed my wrist and pressed it to me, looked at me seriously and said, “Such a thing, it can only be the last time, can you promise?”
Naturally I was willing, but I was worried that my emotions were coming too fast to control, so my mouth turned into a gag, “Don’t you know that a woman’s promise is worth the least?”
“Hmm?” Fu Shen Yan raised his eyebrows at me, seemingly pondering the credibility of these words, then nodded as if he felt something, “It’s like this, the prettier a woman is, the more cunning she is, as you told me.”
Seeing that he had loosened his tongue, I then became even bolder, directly circling Fu Shen Yan’s neck and hanging on as a whole, making an expression of sincere acknowledgement of my mistake, “Don’t worry, even if it’s for the sake of the child, I will try my best to refrain from making a fool of myself again.”
When there are no attachments, people can go their own way countless times, but not when there are attachments. At such times, the primary consideration is that the fewest people are in the least amount of danger, or free from danger.
When Fu Shenyan was faced with a choice, God made me choose several times in my dreams, and there was never a time when I did not wake up in a cold sweat.
What I can do now is to try to keep that dream from shining through into reality.
Fu Shen Yan gave a mocking chortle at his words, smiling as if to say, “Try?”
This was the tone of his voice when he was angry, and I only stared at him for a second before I sensed that the situation was not good and subconsciously tried to escape, but Fu Shen Yan was one step ahead of me, holding my head and tightening his other hand around my waist.
When I reacted, I was already immersed in Fu Shen Yan’s dominating kiss, I was a bit breathless, and I slapped his hand several times to beg for mercy, but he did not respond.
It wasn’t until I whimpered and made a sound that Fu Shen Yan let me go contentedly.
“Do the best you can, there’s no try, that’s the lesson, remember?”
My breath uneven, resentful and angry, I gave him a blank look and didn’t answer.
Fu Shen Yan was gloating, watching me like a good show, not at all like he had sneaked in as a secret agent.
Suddenly, a light flickered under the doorway, clearly someone was passing by, and I subconsciously put my hand on Fu Shen Yan’s leg, telling him not to make a sound.
However, as if the black shadow had sensed something, it stood still in the doorway, not moving, not knowing if it was bending its ear to listen to the news at the moment.
This was not a good thing.
There was no large furniture in the room other than the bed and coffee table, and the bathroom was also clearly furnished, so if someone from outside barged in, there was no doubt that Fu Shenyan would be exposed immediately.
The only way out of this situation was to let Fu Shen Yan go first.
After exchanging glances, Fu Shen Yan’s face darkened and he headed for the window, while I tiptoed towards the door, so that I could delay for a while if the other party pushed the door.
A door away, my heart was in my throat as I watched the dark shadows under the door while watching Fu Shen Yan’s movements.
Just as Fu Shen Yan lifted his foot to stand on the window frame, Gu Han’s somewhat husky voice rang out behind me, “Xiao Shu, let’s talk, I know you’re still awake.”
What was going on?
Gu Han clearly didn’t want to talk to me earlier, but why did he suddenly change his mind?
Chapter 1712
I stepped back and lowered my voice before responding to him, “I’m going to bed, let’s talk tomorrow if there’s anything.”
As soon as the words left my mouth, a long silence fell outside, as if the building was empty, except that I noticed that the shadow under the door never moved even half an inch.
In the interval of waiting, Fu Shenyan changed his mind and came back, his footsteps deliberately controlled, and it was only when he reached my side that I noticed and leaned into him.
It was just a door away, but it was like the three of us had lives that could never be crossed over the Chu River.
It was a long time before Gu Han found his voice again, “Rest well, tomorrow I will do as you wish.”
After saying that, the shadow under the door shifted and disappeared in the direction of Gu Han’s room.
It was only when the footsteps disappeared that I breathed a sigh of relief and said to myself, “Grant my wish …… Gu Han is ready to take me to see the baby?!”
From overhead came Fu Shen Yan’s low voice, “Still think he’s your Father Christmas by now?”
That tone, odd.
“Did you already know Gu Han had a problem?” I asked.
Fu Shen Yan didn’t reply directly, walked to the window and lit a cigarette, swallowing clouds in the whistling wind, as if there was something unspeakable.
“If you don’t say, I won’t ask.” I walked over and closed the window, turning my head to remind him, “Smoking is already hurting your body, and you want to inhale your own second-hand smoke?”
Fu Shenyan froze for a moment, then pressed the cigarette out on the window sill and tossed the bulk of it out through the gap in the leak.
“No more cigarettes?” I was a little surprised and reassured, “Don’t worry about getting caught, I’ll just open the window for some air when you’re gone.”
“No more smoking.” Fu Shen Yan finished indifferently and digressed again, looking at me with interest, “If you had to choose between me and my son, who would you choose?”
This is the last situation I wanted to imagine, I never thought it would come out of Fu Shen Yan’s mouth, after a brief moment of surprise, I looked at his serious look and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “You know, Fu Shen Yan, you’re especially like a young man in love, who has to fight for a higher or lower, well… You’re even worse than them, you’re even jealous of your own son.”
Fu Shen Yan was bored and withdrew his eyes unhappily, laughing to himself, “I know the answer, it’s just like I thought, no surprise.”
I laughed, “Who did you think I would choose?”
“Not me anyway.” Fu Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders, looking disappointed and aggrieved, “But you know what Shen Shu, no matter who you were compared to, I would have picked you.”
He looked like he was saying a joke, with a hangdog look that made it hard to know whether to be happy or not.
After saying that, he didn’t wait for my reaction and started climbing the window by himself, “See you tomorrow.”
Then with a long jump, he disappeared into the night.
I went to the window and looked around, not searching for him or any other movement, and waited a while longer before closing the window.
……
The following day.
I got up early and cleaned myself up because I wanted to see the children.
After breakfast, Gu Han took me out.
I thought it was going to be another long drive, but after the car pulled into town, it only drove for less than ten minutes before it stopped.
Gu Han opened the door and got out, followed by me, and walked into a watch shop next door.
The shop seemed to have been open for a long time, with an old but storied sign at the entrance and twelve wall clocks in the window, presumably showing the same time in different time zones.
