Chapter 360: Chapter 360 How Is It Going?

Wen Ran was a little surprised.

She had never known about Fu Chenlie’s upbringing, and he had never told her either.

Hearing her mother-in-law mention it today, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

So the Fu Chenlie, who seemed invincible and perfect in the eyes of others, had actually grown up under such high pressure.

She seemed to understand now why, in the early days of their marriage, he would take out his frustrations on her indiscriminately.

Snapping back to reality, Wen Ran smiled at Song Qiaoman, "Mom, Ah Lie is pretty good. He respects me a lot; he never forces me to do things I don’t want to. You don’t have to worry about us."

Song Qiaoman nodded seriously, feeling increasingly that this daughter-in-law was sensible and understanding.

The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

...

At eight in the evening, Wen Ran and Fu Chenlie left the Fu Residence.

Perhaps it was because Song Qiaoman had shared some details about Fu Chenlie’s growth today, but Wen Ran felt that, as she looked at him now, there was this inexplicable sense that they had gotten closer.

Out of the corner of his eye, Fu Chenlie noticed the woman in the passenger seat staring at him. He turned slightly to glance at her, "What’s wrong?"

"Mom told me some things about your past today," she replied.

"What did she say?"

Wen Ran chuckled, "Not much, just that if you’re not doing a good job as my husband, I can tell her, and she’ll handle you for me."

"Really? Then what does Mrs. Fu think about my performance as a husband?"

"It’s okay, I guess."

He gave her a side glance, smirked faintly, and said no more.

Wen Ran leaned against the passenger seat, her thoughts drifting to another matter.

She remembered how last night Fu Chenlie had said they would sleep together from now on. At that time, neither of them had been very sober, and the words were spoken under the influence of post-intimacy emotions.

But today, she was clear-headed, and inevitably, the idea of them sleeping together made her a little shy.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up outside the Huan Island Villa.

As soon as Fu Chenlie got out of the car, he walked to Wen Ran’s side, took her hand, and led her into the house, up the stairs, and toward the master bedroom.

If it weren’t for the fact that he hadn’t fully consummated their relationship as husband and wife last night, Wen Ran would’ve suspected that Fu Chenlie’s actions today were driven by an impatient desire to drag her to bed.

As they reached the doorway, she glanced at him, "Um... all my things are still in the guest room."

"Just move them to the master bedroom."

"Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to sleep together?"

She had carefully considered her words before asking, yet Fu Chenlie denied it without hesitation, "It’s fine."

"But..."

"I won’t touch you, okay?"

Wen Ran lowered her gaze and said nothing, but in her heart, she thought—

If a man and a woman lie in bed together and nothing happens, there are only two possibilities: one, the man isn’t interested in the woman; or two, the man has, um, functional issues.

Seeing her remain silent, her eyes darting around, Fu Chenlie raised his voice slightly and called, "Mrs. Fu?"

Wen Ran snapped back to reality instantly, "I... I’ll go get my things."

With that, she dashed off as if escaping.

The man stared at her retreating back, an unconscious smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Why did he feel... she was kind of cute?!

...

Wen Ran had just finished packing her things and was about to head to the master bedroom when her phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, it wasn’t labeled, but it also wasn’t an obvious spam number—just a normal eleven-digit phone number.

She picked up, "Hello, who is this?"

"It’s me, Ms. Wen."

"Xu Tong?"

The other person chuckled, "Ms. Wen, what a sharp memory you have."

Wen Ran’s tone cooled slightly, "What do you need from me?"

Xu Tong began slowly, "I happened to see you at the mall today. You and Mr. Fu seemed very affectionate. As Mrs. Fu, wouldn’t you like to know some detailed things about Mr. Fu and other women?"
