Chapter 184: Chapter 153: Let’s Have a Child_4

Fu Tingzhou’s kiss, carrying the scent of alcohol, landed on her neck.

As if it had branded her.

The skin on her neck where he kissed felt scorching.

"Tang Xi, stay by my side," his hot breath tinged with alcohol hit her face as he spoke, his voice even more husky and bewitching after drinking.

Yet it made Tang Xi pause for a moment.

She tightly clenched and then relaxed her fingers, watching his face under the dim half-lit bedside lamp in the bedroom, that handsome profile, his indifferent face. His eyes were hazy with the intoxication of alcohol.

Tang Xi pressed her lips tightly together and asked softly, "How long?"

"A lifetime."

Her eyelashes trembled violently.

The answer of the drunken man echoed in her ears.

For a long time, it did not fade away.

As if it lingered beside her ear forever.

However, there was no emotion in Tang Xi’s eyes, no joy, only indifference. She helped Fu Tingzhou to lie down and covered him with the quilt. Watching him fall into a deep sleep, she murmured softly, "You’re drunk."

She didn’t believe his words.

If he liked her, he wouldn’t have trapped her in this little place.

This was Qingfeng Garden, where he kept her hidden.

There was no internet connection these few days, she couldn’t go online, but that didn’t mean she was a fool. One day, she used the auntie’s phone to order takeout and saw people online cursing her, saying the third young master of the Fu Family kept a woman outside, and that Qingfeng Garden was nothing more than a mistress’s den.

And the auntie working here would occasionally look at her with disdain.

As if she, Tang Xi, had done something earth-shattering, like stealing someone else’s boyfriend.

Like a disgusting mistress, who seduces rich men.

Tang Xi didn’t sleep much that night.

She thought all night about what her future would be like, just following Fu Tingzhou and being a woman hidden away here.

Watching him marry Su Mengshu in the future.

The next day, Fu Tingzhou sobered up from his drunkenness, his head aching after the hangover, while Tang Xi had already prepared breakfast, including a refreshing lemon tea to help him detox.

For breakfast, two servings of egg noodles.

Tang Xi had excellent skills in cooking noodles. Back when she was at the Su Family, she often got up early to make breakfast. By the time she finished eating and the people of the Su Family were just waking up, she had already packed her bag and left by bus.

Fu Tingzhou noticed the faint dark circles under her eyes, "Didn’t you rest well last night?"

Tang Xi was startled.

She hadn’t expected him to notice her lack of sleep.

She handed him a pair of chopsticks and said lightly, "I don’t like the smell of alcohol."

Fu Tingzhou looked at her, raised his hand to rub his brow, "Sorry, I drank too much last night."

Tang Xi smiled, "Let’s eat."

Fu Tingzhou took a bite of the noodles, looked down, and after two seconds, looked at her again, "I heard that you saw my mother a few days ago."

"Hmm," Tang Xi answered, took a bite of her noodles, and bit her chopsticks. Suddenly, she remembered the note she had asked Aunt Rong to give to Xu Yiran. At that time, she hoped Xu Yiran could be reassured, to stop looking for her, to lead a good life. From now on, their lives would have no intersection. But now that she thought about it, Tang Xi felt she had made a mistake.

Her phone was always monitored, and bodyguards followed her whenever she went out.

This was the only way to pass a message to Doctor Xu.

But now, thinking it over, she realized it was a mistake.

The best way to let go was not to disturb each other.

I hope Xu Yiran hasn’t been to the hospital these past few days, I hope Auntie Rong didn’t give him the note.

I also hope that this note won’t be discovered by Fu Tingzhou.

Tang Xi fears it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Fu Tingzhou smiled, "Visit her more often in the future; she must enjoy your company and chatting with you. She has always been fond of you."

"Indeed, Aunt Qin has always been kindest to me..." Tang Xi’s nose tingled with emotion.

After eating, Fu Tingzhou was ready to go to work. Tang Xi helped him find a tie in the dressing room. Holding the tie, she paused for a moment; it was one she had given him. She didn’t expect that he would actually be wearing it.

Looking at the tie, Tang Xi pursed her lips tightly.

The woman tiptoed to help him knot the tie.

After he left, he bent down and kissed her forehead.

It was like a husband going off to work, giving his wife a final touch of warm intimacy.

Tang Xi almost felt deluded, but reality reminded her it was merely an illusion.

Her relationship with Fu Tingzhou was purely transactional; it was about provision, about support.

She wanted money, he wanted her legs spread.

-

Tang Xi seldom went out, as she disliked the feeling of being followed and watched by bodyguards no matter where she went.

This afternoon, she left the house primarily to arrange a wash, cut, and blow-dry for her dog at a pet store to give Shiliu a new style.

Once there, for a large dog like Shiliu, bathing alone would take two hours, and styling another hour.

There happened to be a shopping mall nearby. Tang Xi glanced at the time and decided to take a look around.

The bodyguard followed behind her, "Miss Tang, where are you planning to go?"

Tang Xi looked back at him, "What’s your name?"

This bodyguard was quite young, not the one from a few days ago, likely new. He appeared to be in his early twenties, tall with fair skin and a buzz cut, not the broad, muscular, sun-darkened look of other bodyguards, but rather like a fresh college graduate.

But Tang Xi knew well that to serve as Fu Tingzhou’s personal bodyguard, one must be no ordinary person.

"My name is Zhao Qi."

Tang Xi nodded, "I want to buy something from the mall nearby. I’ll be back soon, you can stay here and watch Shiliu."

"This... Mr. Fu instructed me to stay by your side wherever you go," he replied.

Tang Xi raised her hand, pointing to a mall opposite, "I’m just going to the supermarket there, it’s very close. If anything happens, I’ll call you. Is that okay? You follow me every day, you can barely catch a breath."

Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment.

Looking at Tang Xi’s fair and delicate face, her pupils dark, she longed for freedom.

Zhao Qi hesitated for two seconds, then finally yielded.

Tang Xi went to the mall, bought a milk tea, and casually picked up a box of Jiangnan pastries. Surrounded by the vast crowd, she suddenly felt both lonely and dazed.

She actually had nothing she wanted to buy; Auntie prepared all her meals every day.

Even the essential household items were regularly updated by Auntie.

Tang Xi prepared to leave the mall, unaware that two people were following behind her.

The two glanced at each other, and as they walked slowly over and passed by Tang Xi, one of them reached out and covered her lips.

The cloth reeked of a strong ether scent.

Before Tang Xi could struggle or resist, she closed her eyes and passed out.

The two men supported Tang Xi, moving outward while dialing a number, "Brother Wu, it’s done; we’ve been following for days, finally caught this woman out alone. What do we do next?"
