After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 425 - 296: Friends?_2

The girl looked too much like him.

She always remembered those not so good memories from four years ago.

But at this moment, the way Fu Tingzhou slept, devoid of his usual indifferent and distant demeanor.

He furrowed his brow while sleeping.

Tang Xi instinctively reached out and stroked the man’s brow.

As if trying to smooth out the wrinkles in his forehead.

The next second, she realized that her move was a bit outrageous.

She immediately straightened up intending to leave.

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed.

She was startled.

Tang Xi couldn’t help but let out a light gasp.

She thought Fu Tingzhou was awake, but the man was still deep in sleep.

Only, it seemed like he was dreaming.

And grabbed her.

Tang Xi looked down, gently trying to pry the man’s fingers open.

But she heard him murmuring between his lips.

"Don’t leave me..."

"Don’t go."

"Can we... always be together?"

Tang Xi was startled.

But she knew these words were not meant for her.

Yet she still gently soothed him, "Okay, I won’t leave, we’ll live together."

This was once a dream she had.

But now, she was soothing him like soothing a child.

"I am not leaving, I’m not leaving, Fu Tingzhou, I’m not going anywhere."

Then the man seemed to hear her words and slowly let go of his hand.

Tang Xi immediately stood up and walked outside.

"Tang Xi, don’t go."

As she reached the door, she heard a sentence from behind, her footsteps hesitated for a moment, but she couldn’t make out his dream words clearly; she just vaguely heard him calling a name, saying don’t go. She opened the door, glanced at him, the woman slowly lowered her gaze and finally closed the door.

The man lying on the bed once again parted his lips and said, "Tang Xi, don’t leave me."

-

Sister Gu opened the door and when she saw it was Tang Xi, she revealed a smile and immediately greeted her warmly, "Dr. Tang, you are here, that’s great; the master has been waiting for you."

She took out a pair of clean and soft pink slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Tang Xi.

Sister Gu didn’t say that this pair of slippers was specially prepared for Tang Xi, with a pink strawberry rabbit pattern and a soft sole. They were always on the shoe rack, with only three pairs of slippers: Fu Yunye’s, Sister Gu’s, and Tang Xi’s.

Tang Xi changed into the slippers and walked inside, she set down the things she was carrying; she had bought some pastries from a pastry shop by the roadside on her way here.

"Dr. Tang, why don’t you stay here for dinner tonight, it will be ready soon."

Tang Xi wanted to refuse; she just came over to see Fu Yunye, and since Fu Yunye is Fu Tingzhou’s brother, she didn’t want to form any further connections with the Fu Family. But Sister Gu invited her so warmly, Tang Xi gave a small smile, "I’ll be leaving in a bit."

"No rush, at this time of day, you’d have to eat outside anyway, better to stay here. The young master is waiting for you on the terrace."

When Tang Xi went to the terrace, she saw Fu Yunye was there, propping up a sketchpad and drawing.

He was working with colored pencils today.

In front of him were large patches of roses, with twisted green vines at the edges.

On one side, there was a floor lamp lit.

At this point, the day had just started to darken.

One lamp, enough to illuminate.

Tang Xi approached, he seemed to know it was her arriving, and said, "Sit."

It felt like they were old friends; there was no excessively polite small talk nor any awkward silence. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Off to the side was a recliner, woven from bamboo rattan; Tang Xi lay on it, leaning her body backwards like a roly-poly toy, maintaining her balance and closing her eyes.

Gently rocking the rattan chair.

"I hear from Sister Gu that you’re not feeling well, how do you feel now?" She looked at Fu Yunye, his body seemed fine, and he was still in the mood and mindset to be here drawing.

Fu Yunye seemed to laugh, "If I don’t say I’m not feeling well, would you come to see me?"

Tang Xi choked slightly at this remark.

"We’re friends, of course."

"Oh, since we are friends, how long has it been since you visited... here?"

Tang Xi blushed, "I... I was kidnapped recently. It was done by the Gao Family; the Gao Family wanted to sabotage the jewelry design competition hosted by the Shangguan Group, so they kidnapped several socialites and designers in advance, it’s all over the internet now."

Tang Xi’s face conveyed an ’I’m not lying to you’ expression.

Actually, she was somewhat afraid of Fu Yunye.

She felt this man was like a cold, venomous snake.

Without warmth, devoid of human emotions.

He has the excellent genes of the Fu Family, and excellent looks, probably inherited from his mother, with a softer facial expression, his mid-length hair falling to his shoulders, conveying an artistic aura.

The indifference in Fu Tingzhou was simply distance.

But for Fu Yunye, it carried a chill.

Especially when she knew Fu Yunye was the eldest son of the Fu Family, Tang Xi had the intention to keep her distance from him.

These people were the center of the storm.

She, a commoner just wanting to live a peaceful life, wanted to stay as far away as possible.

"Do you think the fishing boat from the village next door just happened to appear at Xiaoliang Village?" Fu Yunye was mixing paints with his head bowed, the light on one side was a bit dim, he raised his hand to turn up the light a notch.

And Tang Xi suddenly widened her eyes looking at him.

He...

He knew about Xiaoliang Village?

Was the fishing boat from the neighboring village arranged by Fu Yunye?

Tang Xi suddenly realized how terrifying this man was, as if everything was under his control. And in this moment, he was tranquil and calm, as if nothing had happened, quietly painting.

She rose from the rattan chair, biting her lip, "You know I was kidnapped to Xiaoliang Village."

"Yes."

"How did you know?"

"Why can’t I know?" Fu Yunye replied indifferently, "In your eyes, am I that incompetent?"

"I... I didn’t mean that. What I meant, if I had known earlier that you knew I was kidnapped to Xiaoliang Village, I wouldn’t have had to worry and be afraid all these days, after all, you would have helped me, right?" Her fingers clenched tightly, unable to help swallowing a gulp of saliva.
