Chapter 894: Don’t Want to be Soft-Hearted
Jiang Li and Fu Jiuxiao slept in separate rooms.
She sat alone on the carpet in the bedroom, facing the flashing screen of the computer. In fact, she was absent-minded.
Except for this matter, her relationship with Fu Jiuxiao was inseparable.
Jiang Li also understood that Fu Jiuxiao would have his own reasons for not telling her about the situation at that time. Perhaps she would choose to understand after hearing it, but…
She just did not want to hear it at the moment.
She pressed her hand on the phone and quickly withdrew it. Finally, she buried her face between her arms and closed her eyes.
Fu Jiuxiao stood outside the room, holding a pillow as he stood at the door, hesitating.
If he walked in directly, Jiang Li would definitely be angry.
However, one should not be angry for too long. It would hurt their feelings.
Fu Jiuxiao thought that there was nothing wrong with his relationship with Jiang Li. As long as he explained his feelings well, they could be reconciled.
It seemed…
That would not work either!
Fu Jiuxiao had many opportunities to explain later on.
He leaned against the wall. This was the first time he faced something. He felt really powerless and could not find a way to explain.
If Jiang Li was a high-profile person, he would have many ways to deal with her, but she just did not like it.
A servant walked upstairs and was about to turn off the lights in the corridor. When she saw Fu Jiuxiao in the corridor, she was shocked and instinctively called out, “Sir.”
“Shh!” Fu Jiuxiao quickly waved at the servant and told her to leave.
The servant hurried downstairs, and Fu Jiuxiao was alone in the corridor again.
Fu Jiuxiao turned his head sullenly. He guessed that Jiang Li had already fallen asleep, so he went back to his room in the end.
Jiang Li heard everything that happened outside the door.
When Jiang Li heard the servant call ‘sir’, she raised her head and turned off her computer.
What was there to think about?
‘Let’s talk about it tomorrow!’
The next morning, Jiang Li woke up very early again. She did not have Fu Jiuxiao by her side, so she could not fall asleep.
This habit was really bad.
Jiang Li walked slowly to the stairs. When she saw the servant cleaning, she said in a hoarse voice, “I’m a little hungry.”
The servant quickly replied, “Madam, please wait a moment. It’s almost ready.”
The servants at home were used to Jiang Li getting up early, so they also prepared breakfast in advance.
Jiang Li rubbed her eyes and sat at the dining table. She fiddled with her phone, wanting to see the information on the Internet.
Fu Jiuxiao’s personal statement, Old Master Fu’s repeated support, should be very popular, right?
Not at all!
The popularity of this matter was rapidly dropping, and it was on the verge of being left behind by other gossip.
The netizens liked the new and hated the old.
They found out that the truth of Fu Jiuxiao and Jiang Li’s story was coming to light, and they had lost interest in pursuing it. Except for a few people who were still waiting for the police to find out the results of Mother Jiang and Jiang Man, the matter had basically faded away.
Jiang Li casually scrolled through the web page, but she did not see any special messages. Just as she was about to put it aside, it rang.
It was an unknown number.
Jiang Li did not like to answer strange calls, so she hung up.
The phone rang again, and she hung up again.
It repeated two or three times.
Jiang Li blocked this number out of annoyance, and the world became quiet.
The servant placed a simple breakfast in front of Jiang Li. As soon as she turned around, she saw Fu Jiuxiao walking downstairs. She quickly greeted him, “Good morning, sir.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s gaze fell directly on Jiang Li, and he silently let out a sigh of relief.
He thought he had missed out on her again this day.
When Jiang Li heard Fu Jiuxiao’s footsteps slowly approaching her, she didn’t raise her head. Instead, she silently ate her breakfast.
Fu Jiuxiao moved the chair to Jiang Li’s side and said to the maid, “Prepare the same breakfast as Madam’s.”
“Yes!” The servant already felt that the atmosphere between them was very strange, but she did not dare to ask any more questions. She immediately went to prepare it for Fu Jiuxiao.
In the living room, there were only the two of them.
Jiang Li was quietly eating breakfast when her ears suddenly itched. She instinctively dodged to the side, but she was stopped by Fu Jiuxiao.
Fu Jiuxiao said aggrievedly, “I’ve already made a mistake. I can only make up for it.”
When Jiang Li heard Fu Jiuxiao’s voice and heard it in her ear, her heart started to itch.
No.
She was too soft-hearted, so she had to endure it.
Jiang Li secretly warned herself not to easily forgive Fu Jiuxiao, but when Fu Jiuxiao raised his voice, her face turned red first.
Fu Jiuxiao noticed the change in Jiang Li’s mood, but he did not have any intention of relaxing.
He explained the real situation to Jiang Li, but it was just a part of coaxing her. The most important thing was to eliminate Jiang Li’s uneasiness.
Jiang Li did not realize that she was actually feeling uneasy.
“Do you have any special thoughts today? If not, I’ll be free to do whatever I want.” Fu Jiuxiao tried to sound as relaxed as possible, not wanting Jiang Li to feel his anxiety.
Jiang Li scratched her ears and was about to answer when her phone rang again.
A strange call.
The number was unknown.
When Jiang Li saw that the call’s location was marked as unknown, she felt it was ridiculous.
How shameful was it to hide the truth?
Jiang Li hung up the phone and turned to look at Fu Jiuxiao. “Teacher Fu, you have a class today, but I need to take a leave.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s eyes flashed. The reason he went to Jing University to hold substitute classes was to accompany Jiang Li.
