Chapter 168: A Man Must Carry His Wife

Yun Ruojin never believes that such feelings exist in this world.

She does not believe anyone would abandon all past stubbornness, nor that anyone would unconditionally trust another person.

"For people like us, emotions have never been the most important," Yun Ruojin, like a bewitching fox, exerts all effort to gradually lure Fu Sijue into the trap she set for him.

From childhood to adulthood, she has seen far too many people who would disregard anything for profit.

This time, Yun Ruojin is still willing to trust her intuition.

"For a merchant, discussing emotions is the biggest mistake. A Jue, you are Haicheng's most successful merchant; you should know how to choose what is most beneficial to yourself."

Yun Ruojin thinks she has expressed herself clearly enough, yet Fu Sijue still sits there motionlessly, showing no intention to speak.

Suddenly, Fu Sijue leaps to his feet, walks out without looking back, and leaves Yun Ruojin inside.

Shen Shu waits anxiously outside, seeing only the hurried Fu Sijue rushing out.

"All this afternoon's meetings are cancelled; I'll speak when I have time."

Before the words finish, the figure disappears; Shen Shu only sees a silhouette.

Yun Ruojin, worried, comes out from inside.

Having not received a definitive answer from Fu Sijue, she also does not know whether the matter succeeded, or whom Fu Sijue will ultimately choose.

To her, now she can only leave it to fate.

Fu Sijue has never been so eager to return home.

That feeling of a regained surprise lingers in his heart.

Thus, when Yun Ruojin later said those words, he was completely indifferent.

Lu Xiwán has never been that kind of person.

Fu Sijue harbors many words he wants to tell Lu Xiwán, yet in the end he doesn't know where to begin.

Should he start by explaining the old misunderstanding, or by speaking of the years of longing?

Too much time has passed, and Fu Sijue fears that Lu Xiwán might leave him in the next second.

Thus, even though his impatient mood started at the beginning, during this time on the road Fu Sijue has come to understand.

He must not be impatient.

Lu Xiwán's silence naturally has its reasons; if she asked early, it would only make everyone uncomfortable.

So after hurrying back to Hengshan Gongguan, Fu Sijue's heart races, yet his complexion remains normal as he walks in.

Looking at the figure who has been by his side for so long, a silhouette he never dared to guess, he for the first time in his life feels what it means to be unattainable.

"Why did you come back early today?" Lu Xiwán didn't even realize that, when facing Fu Sijue, her tone had become increasingly gentle.

Actually suppressing himself, Fu Sijue strides over and suddenly embraces Lu Xiwán, holding her tightly.

Wanwan, welcome home.

Releasing Lu Xiwán, who was stiff as a wooden chicken, Fu Sijue's ears turn slightly pink.

"The company has nothing urgent, so I'm back first. What shall we eat tonight?"

The embrace catches Lu Xiwán off guard; she touches her warm ears and says, "Aunt is cooking tonight; I don't know what to eat either."

Fu Sijue: "Anything is fine, as long as I'm with you all."

Those words he never dared to speak aloud on ordinary days suddenly spill out now for some reason.

Lu Xiwán's face reddens even more from the almost teasing remark; she quickly turns her head away so Fu Sijue doesn't see her embarrassment.

"Speak properly, don't give me that routine."

Lu Xiwán begins to doubt whether the person standing before her is still Fu Sijue himself.
