After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me
Chapter 116 - 112: The Gift

Chapter 116: Chapter 112: The Gift

Seeing the house that was almost hers slipping away, Zhao Xuezhi refused to give in and began to yell and create a scene, "Somebody help, save me, everyone judge this for me, my poor niece got into a car accident and lost her parents, her uncle and I are deeply grieved and planning to live with her, but these two people are forcibly obstructing us, God knows what schemes they’re plotting..."

Tang Xi frowned as she watched the woman’s shameless behavior, becoming even more worried about Youyou.

And Youyou, trembling behind her.

Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd was abuzz with speculation.

"These two don’t look like bad people from their dress and demeanor, why would they prevent the girl from recognizing her own relatives?"

"There are all kinds of bad people nowadays, this girl is too pitiable, she might have encountered swindlers."

"Poor child, fortunately she still has her uncle and aunt."

Fu Tingzhou took steps towards Zhao Xuezhi, who trembled and got up from the ground, "What are you going to do? I warn you, this is a hospital, if you dare to do anything to me, I’ll call the police!"

Fu Tingzhou snorted coldly, "Do what to you? You should take a good look at yourself, huh, if you say you’re this child’s aunt and uncle, then why is she afraid of you, unwilling to go with you, and instead willing to hide behind a stranger she’s only known for half a day!"

"You... who knows how you’ve fooled Youyou!"

At this time, the man came over, and upon hearing Zhao Xuezhi’s complaints, he said, "After all, she is my niece, I will surely take good care of her in the future, it must be a misunderstanding, everybody disperse, please disperse."

The man named Gao Peng glanced at Fu Tingzhou and nearly shuddered before walking up to Tang Xi, "I heard that you’re a doctor, you saved Youyou from the car accident, really, thank you. I will take the child with me now, rest assured, after all, I’m her blood-related uncle, now that my brother and sister-in-law are gone, this child is their only offspring, I will take good care of her."

Listening to Gao Peng’s assurance, Tang Xi gently hugged the girl.

Gao Peng left with the girl, and Tang Xi watched the girl’s departing figure, sighing.

She reached into her empty handbag; oh no, her mobile phone.

Tang Xi cautiously glanced at Fu Tingzhou, "Mr. Fu, do you... need anything else? I’ve lost my phone, I need to find it, Aunty Qin... I will go see her later."

Fu Tingzhou gave her a cold look and dropped two words, "Follow me."

And strode forward.

Tang Xi, looking at the man’s back, could only trot to catch up.

Fu Tingzhou’s car was parked right at the hospital entrance, not an actual parking spot, but the man had hurried over and jumped out of the car to rush to emergency, leaving the car parked here, which was completely out of character for his usual strict style.

He looked at her, "Get in."

Tang Xi got into the car and suddenly felt enveloped by his presence, feeling uneasy, "Where are we going? I left my car at the bus station... It should be the K9 route... just drop me off on the curb, I’ll take a cab to the terminal."

Fu Tingzhou completely ignored her and floored the accelerator to the nearest mall.

After getting out of the car, he took her to a mobile phone specialty store on the third floor, "Pick out the best-selling and most suitable phone model for women from your store."

Tang Xi then belatedly realized by looking at his profile, was he going to buy her a phone?

The woman hastily said, "No need, I can buy it myself..."

She told the store clerk, "I can pay for it myself."

She lowered her eyes, rifling through her bag; without her phone, she couldn’t make any payment, she almost never carried her cards, and had just a few tens of cash... Tang Xi was instantly embarrassed, as she heard a faint scoff from the man who handed his card over.

Handing the phone to Tang Xi, he said, "From now on, when I call, you are not allowed to miss it more than twice."

Tang Xi’s eyes widened.

What kind of domineering terms are these??

She followed behind the man, "Why... why must I answer? What if I’m busy at work? Or if something happens, like now, when I lost my phone in an emergency... How can you make such an unreasonable request, Fu Tingzhou, don’t you think you’re very strange? Soon, we will be divorced, and even after that, we should go our separate ways, you wouldn’t even like taking one extra glance at me, yet you want me to answer your calls all the time, don’t you think this demand is unreasonable and nonsensical?"

Fu Tingzhou abruptly halted in his steps.

His complexion grew dark.

Tang Xi, caught off guard, nearly collided with him.

She rubbed her sore nose and met the man’s pitch-black and indifferent eyes.

"Tang Xi, listen clearly, you are still my wife right now. As long as Fu Tingzhou hasn’t divorced you, you’re my wife, even if it’s not been an hour or a minute since we divorced, you’re still my wife. Not taking my calls, not visiting my mother, and contradicting me at every turn," he scanned her up and down, eyeing her pale face, and the bloodstains on her white blouse—marks left from rescuing someone in a car accident. Though the blood wasn’t hers, the sight was still disconcertingly alarming. The man clenched his teeth, "Do you think that getting yourself into this state is something to be proud of?"

Tang Xi clenched her fingers, her voice trembling, "So you think I should treat answering your call as the most important thing and ignore the car accident I came across?"

Fu Tingzhou frowned.

Clearly, that wasn’t what he meant.

Tang Xi bit down on her teeth, "But this goes against my original intention. Ever since my first day of college until now, treating and saving patients is a doctor’s duty. Even if I come across an injured cat or dog by the roadside, I would stop."

Her clear eyes stared straight at him, "Fu Tingzhou, you too were saved by a doctor during an earthquake; if no one had saved you then, would there still be you here today?"

The man was jolted.

He squinted his eyes, looking at her, fell silent for a few seconds, and seemed to want to say something, but he just said, "Let’s go."

Watching her retreat, Tang Xi bit her lip, her pupils somewhat sore, and she wanted to say, Fu Tingzhou, I’m leaving.

After our divorce, I’ll leave this place.

You won’t have to worry anymore about someone complaining to Aunt Qin in front of you...

The passport she had applied for was already available.

The departure is getting closer and closer...

And today...

It is their wedding anniversary.

Although, he loathes this marriage intensely.

Originally, Tang Xi thought of having an amicable farewell.

But how could there be a good parting when there was never a good union...

Following his footsteps, passing by a men’s clothing store, Tang Xi couldn’t help calling out his name, "Fu Tingzhou—"

He turned to look at her.

Tang Xi said, "Can you wait for me here for two minutes, just two minutes?"

Fu Tingzhou frowned, thinking she wanted to go to the restroom, "Be quick."

She nodded, turned, and ran into a men’s clothing store.

She knew that his wardrobe was filled with high-priced clothes.

A casual tie would cost seven to eight thousand.

But she didn’t have that much money.

The salesperson asked if she was choosing a tie for her husband.

She blushed slightly and nodded.
