Time is a bit tight because there are other orders ahead, but since there are suitable materials available for the design Tang Xi created, there’s no need to wait for custom materials. The factory manager Meng Qin agreed to it.
Fang Yuan clamored for Tang Xi to treat everyone, celebrating her first successful private custom order. Tang Xi was clear-cut about it and treated everyone in the office area to afternoon tea.
When the other colleagues in the office area got their afternoon tea,
"Thank you, Sister Tang Xi."
"Thanks, Sister Tang."
A few sisters who used to get along well with Gao Minjia and the others were somewhat jealous, but they only made a few sour comments behind their backs.
Ou Qianqian was painting her nails, "Tang Xi, you’re quite impressive to have won over Liang Wen Yue. But be careful, Qin Mo is someone who holds grudges."
"Yeah, I will." Tang Xi handed over a cup of fruit tea, "Thanks for the heads-up."
Fu Tingzhou came back tonight.
Tang Xi bought a lot of groceries after work today, and upon arriving, she saw men’s leather shoes at the entrance.
Carrying groceries, she entered and saw Tangtang absorbed in a TV drama in the living room. Upon seeing Tang Xi return, Yellow Jade hurriedly came over to take the things from Tang Xi’s hands, "Miss Tang, why did you buy so much groceries? I could have taken care of it, the meal is ready, let’s eat."
Pausing briefly, Yellow Jade quietly reminded, "Master has also returned; he’s in the study."
It seems that in the past few days, Yellow Jade also sensed that there might be some issues between Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou.
Tang Xi nodded, went back to her bedroom for a shower, and changed into comfortable clothes.
As she descended the stairs, she happened to meet Fu Tingzhou.
By coincidence, all of the daily necessities in this villa were prepared by Yellow Jade.
The clothes Tang Xi was now wearing were light pink loungewear, which matched the silver-gray outfit that Fu Tingzhou was wearing; they were couple outfits...
Tang Xi slowly lowered her gaze and walked down beside the staircase handrail.
Fu Tingzhou followed behind her, and the two of them made their way to the dining room one after the other.
Tangtang was eating while watching a tablet, which had a cartoon playing on it. Tang Xi served her daughter a bowl of soup and thought for a moment before saying, "Tangtang, tomorrow is the weekend. How about mom takes you to see a movie? After that, we can go to a children’s art exhibition."
For the weekend, she wanted to make full use of the time to be with her daughter.
Tangtang tilted her head to think for a moment, "Then are we not going to visit grandma?"
Fu Tingzhou’s eyes slowly rose.
Tang Xi spoke softly, "We will go. We have the whole day. We’ll visit grandma in the evening."
"Okay, is daddy coming too?"
She quietly continued eating.
Fu Tingzhou spoke up with a slightly nasal voice, seemingly catching a cold, "Daddy has some things to do tomorrow morning, but I’ll accompany you in the afternoon."
Tang Xi clenched her fingers around the chopsticks tightly, bowing her head and eating for a while before inadvertently looking up. Unexpectedly, she met the eyes of Fu Tingzhou—black pools of ocean.
The next morning, Fu Tingzhou arrived at Meng Xingyin’s studio.
It was located in a high-end private hospital’s psychology department.
Meng Xingyin had cleared her schedule for the day. The moment she saw Fu Tingzhou, a bashful smile appeared on her beautifully made-up face as she hastened over, "Third brother, you’re here."
"Where’s your sister?"
"Ah... she has already arrived, but she took a call and stepped out. She should be back shortly."
Fu Tingzhou took off his suit, ready to hang it on the coat rack.
Meng Xingyin approached, "Let me help you with that."
But the man had already hung his coat, leaving Meng Xingyin’s hand hanging in the air.
After waiting for two minutes, Mang Yueyao walked in.
"Mr. Fu Tingzhou, I apologize for the wait."
Compared to her sister’s bright innocence, the elder sister was obviously much calmer.
Even though they were sisters of the same age, she was extremely composed.
Fu Tingzhou glanced at the time, "Let’s get started," and then walked straight into the therapy room.
Mang Yueyao nodded, then cast a meaningful look at Meng Xingyin.
Meng Xingyin was biting her lip, seemingly hesitant.
Meanwhile, Mang Yueyao had followed Fu Tingzhou into the room.
She would help her sister by making Fu Tingzhou forget that woman in his memories once again.
She guided Fu Tingzhou to slowly close his eyes, following her directions to step by step enter a deep sleep.
The hypnotism was not ordinary; it was a secret technique passed down by the Zhou Family. Unlike the common hypnotism found everywhere, which merely aids sleep,
the Zhou Family’s hypnotism can alter and delete memories.
But it’s only temporary.
An oppressive, bewildering effect.
Over time, it would gradually come back.
It was like putting a lock on memories, but as time went on, the lock would rust, break. To apply hypnotism again was to reinforce this lock.
Mang Yueyao watched as Fu Tingzhou was fast asleep, her hypnotism session already halfway completed.
In his deep slumber, Fu Tingzhou saw a woman.
And he clearly saw the woman’s face.
This time, it was not in the water.
It was in a hall, which appeared to be hosting a wedding.
He was dressed in a black suit.
He held the hand of the woman beside him, who was wearing a white wedding dress, this face was unknown to Fu Tingzhou.
A very beautiful woman, but he did not recognize her.
She, smiling, said today was their engagement ceremony.
Fu Tingzhou was taken aback for a moment, "Are you Su Mengshu?"
He knew the name but couldn’t match it with a face.
He knew that he had once been engaged to a woman named Su Mengshu, because the engagement had been widely reported online; he could find traces of it from back then.
Those were the photos of his engagement to Su Mengshu.
"Yes, I am Su Mengshu. Tingzhou, I am really so happy today, I can finally become your fiancée! No one else can interfere with our relationship anymore!"
Fu Tingzhou furrowed his brows.
He wanted to ask something else.
At this moment, many guests came forward, congratulating and offering their best wishes.
But it seemed a commotion arose,
A woman was stumbling and running over.
He was stunned for a moment.
He almost reflexively withdrew his hand and took a few steps toward Tang Xi, "Why are you here?"
