Chapter 1296: How Dare You

Fu Yan Cheng raised his hand and patted Company Commander Sun's shoulder: "Since you've said that, if I were to force you to repay it right now, it would seem unreasonable. Even though I'm eager to supplement my wife's nutrition, I can wait three or five days."

These words seemed reasonable, yet they made Company Commander Sun's face burn with shame. Moreover, the deadline was set; if he couldn't repay within five days at most, he would be breaking his word.

Having settled the matter, Fu Yan Cheng had no desire to stay any longer. After all, the Sun family was sure to be in chaos soon, and he had no interest in watching the spectacle.

Fu Yan Cheng parted with Old Chang and Xiao Zhang at the intersection and walked straight back.

Seeing him enter the room, Chuxue asked, "You're back?"

Fu Yan Cheng washed his hands in the basin by the door while asking, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Chuxue turned onto her side: "I was just waiting for you."

Fu Yan Cheng quickly dried his hands, walked over in a few steps, lay down, and pulled her into his arms: "Your situation is special now; you can't skip your afternoon nap, or you'll have no energy this afternoon."

Chuxue yawned at the right moment: "I am indeed sleepy; let's take our afternoon nap together."

She had been sleepy long ago; it wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, nor was it because she was waiting for Fu Yan Cheng as she had just said, but rather that the heat kept her from sleeping.

Fu Yan Cheng took the palm-leaf fan from her hand: "I've already asked someone to find a ticket for an electric fan. I expect news within these few days, and then it will be more comfortable."

Chuxue's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"

Fu Yan Cheng stopped the fanning motion, pinched her nose, and said, "When have I ever lied to you? Originally, I thought that since our family compound is against the mountain, if we nailed window screens over all the windows, it wouldn't be that hot."

"I didn't expect you couldn't tolerate the heat at all. Seeing you toss and turn, unable to sleep from the heat, naturally I felt very sorry for you. Not to mention you're pregnant now; if you don't rest well, that simply won't do."

Hearing him say this, Chuxue puckered her lips: "So it was for the baby in my belly."

Fu Yan Cheng stopped the fanning motion again, then leaned in and kissed Chuxue's face hard: "You ungrateful one; I'm more wronged than Dou E."

While speaking, he made a funny expression, which made Chuxue laugh outright: "Alright, alright, I was wrong to say that."

Fu Yan Cheng resumed fanning, but his words were still unyielding: "Since my wife has realized she was wrong, do I have any compensation?"

Chuxue pushed him with her hands, preventing him from kissing her: "Sleep. Your compensation is to nap with me. Don't bother me anymore; I'm really sleepy."

No matter how Chuxue resisted, Fu Yan Cheng still found an opportunity to kiss her face once more before lying down properly: "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'll fan for you; go to sleep quickly. We're catching the three o'clock train back to the city."

Indeed, being pregnant, Chuxue's breathing became steady within moments.

Fu Yan Cheng looked at his wife's sleeping face, thinking of how the nutritional supplements he had prepared for her had been intercepted by someone. His eyes sharpened. Since they dared to entertain such crooked thoughts, they must bear the consequences; he didn't care who that person was.

On the other side, at Company Commander Sun's house, things unfolded exactly as Fu Yan Cheng had guessed.

Company Commander Sun was a man who cared about his reputation. He never expected his wife to dare intercept the Fu Company Commander's family's goods, and not even send a single item to them. If this became known, he might as well throw his face away.

He shut the main door, dragged his wife into the room, and shouted, "How dare you?"

Seeing her husband's expression, Mi Cuifang was so frightened she dared not breathe loudly. She instinctively hugged the child in her arms tighter: "Aichuan, I know I was wrong. I won't dare do it again. Besides, we compensated them at the market price. He is a dignified Company Commander; he won't go around spreading gossip."
