Chapter 138
The project was a major government project, so it was an important event and all the local TV networks all dedicated some time to cover it. In the end, even the people from the Yu family ended up watching the proceedings.
“It seems that the Fu Group managed to secure the project, with this, there’s no doubt that the Fu Group will grow to be even more dominant in the future.” Yu Guohui couldn’t help but sigh as he watched.
Mrs. Yu just glanced indifferently at the ceremony on the TV and didn’t care too much, “Anyway, it’s a good thing that article turned out to be fake. If it had been true, I definitely wouldn’t have spared that Fu Sinian!”
In fact, Mrs. Yu had always kept the fact that Yu Duo and Fu Sinian’s relationship had sprouted from a single accidental night together firmly in mind, and she had always disliked Fu Sinian because of it. Over the years, she had developed a habit of picking at Fu Sinian’s faults, even if no faults existed, so who knows what she might have done if what was written in that article had turned out to be true.
“Madam, a Mr. Yu Yang, had arrived.”
“Don’t let him in. Just say I’m not...” But before she could even say the word ‘here’, Yu Yang strode into the room with eager eyes and a serious expression.
Yu Duo sighed in her heart. It seemed there would be some troubles.
Mrs. Yu briefly glanced at Yu Duo before hurriedly getting up and smiling at Yu Yang, “Yu Yang, what’s the occasion that you decided to come visit your auntie here today?”
“Uncle, aunt, I’m sorry to come over to visit without calling beforehand,” Yu Yang was nominally speaking to her parents, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Duo. “I have something to say to Yu Duo.”
“Yu Yang, auntie knows what you want to say, but Duoduo is already pregnant now, so she can’t stand too much excitement. Please think for Duoduo’s sake, okay? No matter what you need to say, you can still talk about it later.”
However, Yu Yang didn’t move an inch.
Yu Duo sighed, “Mom, it’s alright, I can just talk casually with him for a bit.”
“Alright... then you guys talk.”
With that, Mrs. Yu took Yu Guohui and left the room.
Now, there was only Yu Duo and Yu Yang left in the living room.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Eventually, Yu Yang couldn’t stand the silence and he asked, “That thing... is it true or false?”
“What thing are you talking about?”
“I mean that article circulating online that talks about that night three years ago and what happened between you and Fu Sinian...”
“It’s all fake.” Yu Duo met his eyes steadily, before sighing and continuing,”It’s already been refuted.”
In fact, Yu Duo already knew in her heart why Yu Yang had come here, but after telling him that she felt she really didn’t have much more to say. However, after thinking about it for a moment, she decided to say a few more words to try to preempt Yu Yang and maybe let him let go of the feelings he had been clinging to these past years.
“If you came here because you wanted to talk about what happened back on that night, then you needn’t have bothered. Back then when you chose to go abroad after the incident, you made it clear that there would no longer be any need for us to talk about who was right and who was wrong between us anymore. You were my boyfriend back then, and I experienced something terrible, but not only did you never show up to comfort me, instead you silently went abroad without saying a word. There’s really nothing else to say. I understand that perhaps it’s normal for you to dislike me after something like that happened, I’m not naive, and I know that this kind of thing is unacceptable for any man. However, in my eyes, your cowardly behavior only made me feel that you were even more abominable than Fu Sinian!”
When he heard all that, Yu Yang’s face turned very ugly. Back then, going abroad hadn’t been his own idea, but in the end, he hadn’t fought against it and had just quietly accepted his family’s arrangements. It could even be said that he had deliberately ran away. Now it seemed that the weakness and hesitation he had shown three years ago had become a sharp weapon in Yu Duo’s hands, which she wielded with ease in order to make him bleed.
He knew he had no place to refute.
“I know that I was... I know that I made a mistake. I know that I shouldn’t have gone abroad back then. But, during my three years abroad I’ve seriously thought about everything and, if you gave me another chance to do it all over again, I would...”
“But there are no second chances in life. The reality is that I’m already pregnant,” Yu Duo stroked her belly gently. “It’s Sinian’s child. Wouldn’t you mind?”
For an instant, Yu Yang hesitated, but it was only for an instant, he quickly recovered and shook his head firmly, “I won’t mind!”
“But I mind!” A low and dangerous voice that was laced with anger suddenly sounded from the doorway.
Yu Duo looked up at the doorway and saw that, to her surprise, the same Fu Sinian who had recently been on the TV screen had actually appeared here in front of her.
Fu Sinian walked in with a calm face, and Yu Duo suddenly felt worried. She didn’t know how much of their conversation he had overheard, but if he had only listened to that last exchange between them...
“Husband, weren’t you very busy? What are you doing here?”
“I’m done.” Now that the project had been signed, Fu Sinian felt that his part had come to an end, and he didn’t even bother going to the victory party before rushing over to the Yu residence.
Who knew that when he was about to walk through the door he would hear another man trying to be the father of his child.
That man wanted to be the father, did that mean that he thought that he, the real father, was already dead?
Fu Sinian quickly walked into the room and intimately held Yu Duo in his arms, instantly flaunting his absolute superiority to Yu Yang.
He even threw out some words to stimulate the other man, “Mr. Yu, my wife and I’s baby will be born in another six months. So, when it’s time for the baby’s Full Moon Ceremony, you must come and give us your regards.”
In an instant, Yu Yang’s face turned pale and both of his fists tightly clenched, his anger plain to see. When she saw the other man’s angry face, Yu Duo suddenly wanted to quickly wiggle free of Fu Sinian’s hug. After all, she was pregnant, so if these two people started fighting and she got implicated then it would really be a terrible disaster.
However, things didn’t flow the way Yu Duo imagined.
Yu Yang’s clenched fists suddenly loosened powerlessly. All of a sudden he felt that he had already completely lost to Fu Sinian, and it all stemmed from his own stupid mistake three years ago.
“I’m sorry...” Eventually, he softly squeezed those two words out to Yu Duo.
But Fu Sinian was the one who answered, “It’s fine. I can forgive your rudeness this time, but I hope that you won’t bother my wife anymore in the future. She’s pregnant now and she needs her rest.”
Yu Yang’s loosened fists clenched again.
Elsewhere in the house, Mrs. Yu’s eye had been twitching as if a disaster was approaching, so she had headed back to the living room and stumbled across this tense scene. She quickly stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere. “Oh, Sinian, why didn’t you tell us you were coming? Sit down and take a rest. I know you’ve been very busy these days, it must have been tiring.” Then she turned to Yu Yang and said, “Yu Yang, thank you again for coming to visit auntie today. How have your parents been? I need to go and see them one of these days, but until then please say hello to them for me. Actually, I wanted to keep you here a bit longer, but... unfortunately it’s time for me to go out and... walk the dog, so, you see...”
“Auntie, I understand,” Yu Yang forced a smile. “Then I’ll go ahead first. I’ll come and visit you and uncle another day.”
Fu Sinian quickly moved to settle Yu Duo down on the couch, so she naturally didn’t see Yu Yang’s final lingering look full of affection and grief before he left the room.
“What are you doing here?” Yu Duo asked.
Fu Sinian looked at Yu Duo’s belly, which was already slightly but visibly bulging, and said in a warm tone, “I’ve come to take you home.”
Of course, Yu Duo hadn’t asked Fu Sinian to come pick her up that day so she didn’t plan to go with him, so in the end he just didn’t leave. He decided to temporarily stay in the Yu residence and, like that, the husband and wife finally ended up sleeping in the same bed again. This was actually a big test of Fu Sinian’s endurance, considering he hadn’t touched Yu Duo at all for the past three months.
Yu Duo laid delicately in his arms, and Fu Sinian couldn’t help but lean forward until she could feel his hot breath sprinkling on her ear, followed by a series of tiny kisses.
Feeling her soft body against his own, Fu Sinian could barely calm himself down.
“Think of the baby...”
“Then will you come home with me tomorrow?”
“No.”
Fu Sinian unconsciously hugged her tighter, “Why not?”
Yu Duo was silent for a moment, then she turned her head to meet his eyes, “Why do you want me to come back?”
They were her usual eyes, seeming watery and transparent, but right now Fu Sinian felt that they were somehow filled with something unfathomable. After an instant, he understood.
He borrowed the bright moonlight to softly kiss her.
“Because I love you. But, before I realized it, I hurt you.”
“And?”
“And I have to make it up to you.”
Yu Duo chuckled, “So you love me? Since when?”
Fu Sinian also laughed. “Since three years ago, when you put 800 yuan on my pillow.”
In fact, that was a part of Yu Duo’s dark history that she would almost rather forget.
It had been the first day when she had transmigrated, and she woke up to find that, not only had she become a different person, but also there was a strange, but handsome and well-built, man laying beside her. This had been before she realized that she had transmigrated into a novel, and she could only vaguely recall that the night before had been full of ‘spring happiness’, so she had just directly taken out her wallet and generously took all the money inside, 800 yuan, and put it onto the pillow beside the man.
The meaning being ‘We met merrily, now let’s part peacefully’.
However, Yu Duo had never expected that this ‘merry meeting’ would only be the beginning, and that there was no end in sight even now.
“Do you know how much you owe me by now?”
Yu Duo smiled: “I don’t mind owing you a little more.”
“Let’s go home tomorrow?”
Yu Duo said, “Ok, let’s go home.”
—————-
The next day, Fu Sinian took Yu Duo home, and they stumbled into the noisy scene of Duoduo playing with Aunt Lian. The kitten, who hadn’t seen her owner in half a month, eagerly jumped up to greet them.
Yu Duo picked up Duoduo and said, “Duoduo has gotten fat.”
Under the last rays of the setting sun, Fu Sinian hugged her gently and they walked inside together.
“I promise I won’t keep you waiting any more.”
Yu Duo tilted her head and smiled up at him, but she didn’t say a word.
After all, there was nothing to say.
For here on, it would all depend on his performance.
