Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Wife, Why Don’t You Look at Me? Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Wife, Why Don’t You Look at Me? Just as her hand touched the desktop, Fu Chengzhou pushed the door open from outside.
She looked back at him. Fu Chengzhou casually closed the door behind him. “Wife, were you about to do something? Why do you seem so flustered?”
She fanned herself with her hand. “It’s too hot downstairs. And there are so many cameras. I just wanted some quiet rest for a bit. We’ve been recording since this morning.”
“Is that so?” Fu Chengzhou took a step closer to her, and suddenly his hands were on her waist, lifting her onto the desk amidst Li Xingwan’s cry of surprise.
His hands pressed down on either side of her, his dominant presence instantly engulfing her. “Is that so? It doesn’t seem like it to me.”
“How could it not? That’s exactly how it is,” Li Xingwan said. “Besides… I thought you were in the study too. So, I specifically brought over some freshly squeezed juice for you to drink.”
“Why don’t you try it?” Saying this, Li Xingwan handed him the other cup, trying to get Fu Chengzhou to move away from her.
“I don’t want to drink this cup.”
“I want to drink from your cup.” Fu Chengzhou’s gaze fell on the straw of the juice cup in her hand. “May I?” he asked her.
“This cup has been used by me.”
“We are husband and wife.”
She struggled to find words. “Then… then go ahead and drink it.”
That word, ‘husband and wife,’ made it very hard to refuse.
Fu Chengzhou bent down and took her used straw into his mouth, resembling a silent, indirect kiss. Involuntarily, Li Xingwan turned her gaze away.
But she hadn’t expected what came next…
“Wife, why aren’t you looking at me?”
Her eyes widened in shock. Oh my! It seemed she had gained a new layer of understanding about this original character’s husband.
“Why should I be looking at you?” Li Xingwan said.
“Don’t you want to take this opportunity to build a stronger relationship with me?” Fu Chengzhou asked her. “Or is it that during these three years when I wasn’t at home, you’ve fallen for someone else?”
Alarm bells rang loud in Li Xingwan’s mind.
Yet, the original character had never been in love with him. As she recalled, the book mentioned that they hadn’t even been together when they registered their marriage; it had been his chauffeur who had done it for them.
How could the original character love him, let alone fall for someone else?
“How could that be possible!” Li Xingwan quickly retorted, bluffing with a straight face. “I’ve always been honest and dutiful. If I’m not sending Little Mobao to school, I’m playing mahjong with those ladies or going shopping. I really haven’t done anything else.”
“Aside from playing mahjong?”
“Do you have any other hobbies?”
“Do watching movies and swimming count?”
“Should we schedule one for tonight?”
“I’m back now; I intend to spend more time with you, my dear wife,” said Fu Chengzhou with clear intent. A man supreme in business and of esteemed status must also secure his wife and child at home.
And right now, his goal was to secure his wife, Li Xingwan.
Indeed, the male lead was an exceptionally good character. It was all the female lead’s fault for dying.
“Sure, sure,” Li Xingwan agreed several times, pushing his towering figure away from her. “You better go out quickly; all those cameras outside are waiting. Otherwise, they’ll think something’s happening between us in here.”
“What could possibly happen?” Fu Chengzhou asked her.
