Since the stitches have been removed, there's no need for Zhou Zhouren to stay in the hospital any longer. He didn't bring much with him when he came, so he can just leave.
After Zhou Zhou left the hospital, Fu Hengzhi was still sitting in the driver's seat making a phone call, probably about work. Zhou Zhou couldn't understand their company jargon, so she sat in the back seat and stared blankly out the window.
My mind was racing with calculations as I started thinking about what to do in the future.
He's not cut out for acting, and he doesn't plan to take on any more film, television, or variety show roles. He's not going to be famous anyway, so he'll just stay at the company until his contract expires.
As for the income issue, Zhou Zhou originally planned to divorce Fu Hengzhi, take the 30 million, and leave quickly, but who knew that this guy would suddenly change his mind.
Zhou Zhou kept glancing back into the car from the window. Fu Hengzhi in the driver's seat was calm and composed when handling work, just like the description in the original book. Thinking about it carefully, he gave the protagonist a lot of help later on and also treated the protagonist differently. So he can be considered one of the male supporting characters in the book, right?
Before Zhou Zhou transmigrated into the book, she hadn't finished reading it. She only saw Ye Qisheng chasing after his wife like a madman and imprisoning Wen Luo in his villa's dark room.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou's lips twitched uncontrollably. He had absolutely no intention of getting involved in the love-hate relationship between the main characters and the surrounding events.
My main goal right now is to find a way to support myself, and incidentally, get a divorce.
Zhou Zhou sighed. The road ahead was long, and the days of having a wife, children, and a warm bed were still far away.
Before Zhou Zhou got into the car, Fu Hengzhi glanced at him through the rearview mirror. Only after finishing his work did he hang up the phone and turn around to ask, "Where's your bandage?"
"Hmm." Zhou Zhou habitually brushed aside a patch of stray hair, revealing a two-centimeter-long scar. "The doctor said it will heal quickly, and I won't need bandages after the stitches are removed."
Fu Hengzhi hummed in agreement, started the car, and drove off.
“Aunt Feng told my parents everything about your situation this morning.” Fu Heng made it very clear. “I’m taking you home now. They’ll probably come to see you in a couple of days after you’re discharged.”
"Oh? You came to see me?" Zhou Zhou waved her hand and said, "No need, no need. My injury is just a minor injury, it's no trouble for you to come see me."
It has to be said that since Zhou Zhou hit his head, he has been speaking in a lot more strange and unusual ways. Fu Hengzhi just gave a casual "hmm" and said nothing more.
What does 'hmm' mean? So, are the original owner's in-laws coming or not?
Zhou Zhou was annoyed by that "hmm". He wanted to ask more questions, but then he thought that it was better to ask others than to ask himself. Indirect communication was definitely not as convenient as direct communication. He would charge his phone when he got back, call Fu Hengzhi's parents to let them know he was safe, and persuade them not to come to see him. Wouldn't that solve everything?
Speaking of Fu Heng's parents, Zhou Zhou began to recall the descriptions in the original novel.
The original owner's parents and Fu Hengzhi's parents were close friends. The original owner's parents came from a scholarly family. They were killed in a plane crash while attending a literary conference abroad, and their bodies were never recovered. This was big news in China in recent years. The original owner was left with no one to rely on. Fu Hengzhi's parents felt sorry for him and arranged for him to marry Fu Hengzhi...
As Zhou Zhou thought of this, a sense of irritation quickly rose within him.
What the hell? What kind of logic is this? Why would you feel sorry for the original owner of this body and then make her marry your son?! Wouldn't it have solved the problem to just take him in as your godson?!
The original text did not mention that the original owner had any other relatives to rely on. Perhaps the death of his parents was too much of a blow to the original owner, and his temperament became extremely unstable from then on. He treated everyone around him with indifference, except for Ye Qisheng.
The brocade box in her pocket was still digging into the flesh around her waist. Zhou Zhou sighed. The original owner was indeed infatuated with Ye Qisheng, but her marriage with Fu Hengzhi could be described as a marriage of convenience.
Zhou Zhou, a straight man, felt that the possibility of him managing this marriage was almost zero.
Zhou Zhou leaned back. The divorce hadn't gone through that morning, and 30 million yuan had gone down the drain. This wouldn't do!
Zhou Zhou's gaze suddenly hardened as he stared at the car roof. He had to find a way to get a divorce. He and Fu Hengzhi could only be brothers, not husband and wife!
"Ahem." Zhou Zhou straightened up, cleared his throat twice, leaned forward, and gripped the back of the seat in front of him. He said to Fu Hengzhi, word by word, with a serious expression, "President Fu, are you happy?"
"..." Fu Hengzhi didn't know what kind of trouble Zhou Zhou was going to cause this time, so he simply didn't answer him.
Zhou Zhou couldn't see his expression and assumed he hadn't heard her, so she repeated loudly, "President Fu, are you happy? If you're not, please don't make yourself suffer!"
Zhou Zhou felt that his hint was obvious enough.
Are you happy? What? You're not happy? If you're not happy, why don't you get a divorce?!
However, Fu Hengzhi did not think so.
Last night, he went to the lobby of the Mantu Business Room to meet a client and saw Zhou Zhou dragging Ye Misheng's arm into the couple's suite. This morning, he received a call from the doctor to change his dressing. Remembering how pitiful Zhou Zhou looked with red eyes and a red nose when he drank chicken soup this morning, he impulsively drove to the film set to find him. As a result, he saw him and the two Ye brothers exchanging rings and getting entangled.
Don't wrong yourself. The unspoken message is, "You absolutely mustn't wrong yourself. We'll each do our own thing. Not only that, I'll leave you with a whole mess to clean up, hehe, just to annoy you."
Recalling Zhou Zhou's usual arrogant tone, Fu Hengzhi was already getting angry.
Fu Hengzhi warned sternly, "I know what you're thinking, don't even think about it!"
"..." Zhou Zhou was stunned by the other party's furious tone and didn't recover for a long time. "Huh?"
Why not even consider it? Isn't this a win-win situation for both sides?
Zhou Zhou couldn't understand why the other party refused.
Could it be that our current life is already the other person's happy life...? Wait a minute!
Zhou Zhou suddenly realized that this world was full of melodramatic female-oriented novels, and he couldn't think about things with a straight man's mindset.
The domineering CEO did this and that, and this morning he tore up the divorce papers again. Following this melodramatic plot...
Could it be that she suddenly took a liking to him?
Zhou Zhou's pupils dilated.
[Author's Note: Zhou, a straight man, said: Are you happy? (If you're not, get a divorce!)]
Fu Hengzhi's understanding: Are you happy? (Make yourself happy! Make it happen today and tomorrow! Let's have fun!)
Fu Hengzhi, who maintains a clean and upright character: Don't even think about it!
Why does Chapter 5 deviate from the expected pattern?
At this moment, one sentence kept repeating in Zhou Zhou's mind.
Oh no, Barbie Q is gone.
He only wants the money he'll save for his wife; he doesn't want to risk his own life!
The two men in the car each had their own thoughts. Fu Hengzhi drove the car into the villa area and saw that Zhou Zhou had been silent the whole way. He thought to himself that he was being too relaxed and cautious. If he pushed him too far, he might do something unexpected.
Adhering to the principle of being strict with oneself and lenient with others, Fu Hengzhi said, "I can ignore your private life, but don't go too far!"
These words revitalized Zhou Zhou's withered thoughts, his eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, no problem."
He's saving up to get married and have a girlfriend... that's not too much to ask, is it?
No, no, that won't do.
Zhou Zhou shook his head, trying to banish the thought from his mind.
This is an irresponsible act. He's nominally married, yet he's making the young woman a mistress, which is incredibly unfair to her.
We still have to get a divorce.
Zhou Zhou felt that he was an absolutely amazing man and couldn't help but sigh, wondering how someone as good as him could have been a lifelong single in his past life.
While Zhou Zhou kept praising himself, the car had already driven into the courtyard of the Fu family villa.
Zhou Zhou's gaze was immediately drawn to the scenery inside the courtyard.
The flower beds, the landscaping, the rockery, the small pond—just looking at them makes one feel comfortable, let alone being there in person.
Zhou Zhou is a plant enthusiast. In his previous life, his home, which was less than 100 square meters, was filled with all kinds of green plants of different sizes from the entrance hall. Just looking at these lush green things would put him in a good mood.
"This is a villa built in the garden!" Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up as she looked at Fu Hengzhi, her face beaming with joy.
When Zhou Zhou smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons. Coupled with her fair skin and good bone structure, her radiant smile gave off a completely different feeling from before.
Fu Hengzhi glanced at him and simply said, "Get out of the car."
"Okay!" Zhou Zhou pushed open the car door and ran off. If it weren't for the gardeners trimming the greenery around, Zhou Zhou would have loved to lie down on the lawn and enjoy the view.
Fu Hengzhi parked the car and, before getting out, habitually glanced at the back seat, noticing a small square box lying on the leather seat.
The box is small and exquisitely crafted; just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that the contents inside are quite valuable.
It was the one that fell out of Zhou Zhou's pocket. Fu Hengzhi was holding the box and was about to get out of the car when he paused after taking a long step, and then pulled it back.
Fu Hengzhi stared at the brocade box in his palm, then lightly flipped his wrist to open the lid.
A platinum men's diamond ring pavé-set with diamonds comes into view, with a string of English words engraved on the inside of the ring.
'ForMyLove·YQS'
Fu Hengzhi: "..."
Fu Hengzhi left the garage, opened the door, and entered the villa. As soon as he entered, he heard Zhou Zhou's exclamation.
"Why are you so green?!"
"..." Fu Hengzhi's expression was already unpleasant, and upon hearing this, his face darkened even more, feeling that he had been offended.
At this moment, Zhou Zhou was sitting at the dining table, holding a small pot of succulents and admiring it. The leaves were translucent and tender green, and Zhou Zhou liked them very much. He said to himself, "You are so green, hahaha."
Fu Hengzhi: "..."
As Aunt Feng brought the last dish to the table, she saw Fu Hengzhi, who had just finished washing his hands, walking over. She quickly called out, "Hengzhi, come and eat!"
Fu Hengzhi sat down opposite Zhou Zhou and glanced at him. Zhou Zhou was busy admiring the succulent plant.
Zhou Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so nice, all green and healthy!"
Fu Hengzhi's right hand, which was holding chopsticks, had bulging veins. He now felt annoyed by the sight of green, and throughout the meal, he didn't eat a single green vegetable.
"I'm going to the company." Fu Hengzhi rarely comes home for meals, so today was an exception.
Watching the CEO's departing figure, Zhou Zhou swallowed the mouthful of rice in her mouth and asked, "Aunt Feng, is... is CEO Fu a picky eater?"
Zhou Zhou was a typical meat lover, and during this meal he just watched Fu Hengzhi and him fight over the meat.
Aunt Feng came out carrying a fruit platter, wiped her hands on her apron, and said suspiciously, "He's not picky about food. Hengzhi is a very well-behaved child."
"Hmm..." Zhou Zhou nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is there anything he dislikes?"
"What does Hengzhi hate?" Aunt Feng thought hard but couldn't figure it out. If she had to say what he hated, it would probably be this marriage.
But this was clearly something that couldn't be said to Zhou Zhou.
“There’s nothing to dislike about Hengzhi.” Aunt Feng felt that this wasn’t enough. She felt that the relationship between the two children had obviously improved a lot today. Now that Zhou Zhou had come to ask about Fu Hengzhi’s preferences, she felt that Zhou Zhou was trying to get closer to Fu Hengzhi, so she said, “Hengzhi is a very easy child to get along with. Didn’t you two play together very well when you were little? Take it slow. A couple’s relationship needs to be cultivated.”
"?" Zhou Zhou was completely bewildered. How did this bring up their marital relationship again? He just wanted to find out about his partner's preferences so he could address the problem and get a divorce as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhou took a bite of the strawberry and thought to himself that he truly lived up to his perfect CEO persona. It seemed that the divorce would have to be considered more carefully.
After finishing her meal, Zhou Zhou wanted to help Aunt Feng wash the dishes, but Aunt Feng stopped her and pushed her upstairs.
Perhaps because Zhou Zhou's behavior of rolling up his sleeves and grabbing the dishes to wash them was too intense, Aunt Feng kept an eye on him at the bottom of the stairs when she chased him upstairs, and only returned to the kitchen after he went inside.
The bedroom was pitch black; even during the day, the lights weren't on and the curtains were drawn tightly, letting in no light at all.
