Li An’an returned to her apartment in fear. She was scared out of her wits and didn’t even have time to change her clothes.
“Li An’an, what’s wrong with you? It wasn’t easy to find a job for you, and now you’ve offended someone. Are you trying to sabotage me? I won’t introduce jobs to you anymore!”
“I’m sorry!”
On the other end, Xiaomei had already hung up angrily.
Li An’an felt a headache coming on. She would never step into a place like that again. The money there wasn’t worth it.
She tiptoed to the children’s room and looked at their sleeping faces. She felt satisfied.
Chu Yichen must be thinking that she was a vain and indecent woman! Very good!
Just as she was about to sleep, she received a call from Fu Yiheng.
Li An’an happily answered the phone. “You finally thought to call, huh? I figured you were going to hide from me for the rest of your life!”
Fu Yiheng was in his private villa overseas. “How could I hide from you? You were the one who scared me off with your insistence on introducing girls to me!”
Li An’an laughed. “All right, let’s not talk about that anymore. Don’t avoid me from now on, okay? Are you tired from work?”
Fu Yiheng closed his eyes and pinched his brow. “I’m fine. I’m just too far away from you guys. I miss you and the children!”
Previously, he had never thought that he would fall in love with a woman who already had children. In the end, it still happened!
Li An’an felt warm inside. It was good to be missed.
“Yeah, the kids and I miss you, too!”
Fu Yiheng poured himself a glass of wine. “Really?”
“Of course, you watched the three children grow up, but you just had to go overseas. They talk about you all day long.”
“What about you?”
“Sure I miss you too. I miss having you to look after the children, and I also miss having you around to take me out for barbecue and for fun!”
Li An’an recalled the time they spent together. Fu Yiheng was a software engineer and was usually very tired from work. However, he would keep her and her children company when he had time. She was really grateful to him and treated him like family.
Fu Yiheng sounded disappointed. “That’s all? I thought you would say it’s because you miss me as a person!”
Li An’an was tickled. “Yes, all right! I miss you as a person, okay? So you should come back soon!”
“Good, even though it sounds forced, I still like to hear it. I’ll be back tomorrow, but only for a few days. Then I’ll have to leave immediately again, and I won’t be done until the second half of the year!”
Li An’an was surprised and excited. “Really? That’s great! Then I’ll cook you a feast to welcome you tomorrow. All right, what do you want to eat? Just name it.”
“Hmm, let me think. I want to eat your braised pork, and I want to eat stir-fried wild mushrooms with meat. They should be in season now.”
“All right, got it. I’ll prepare everything for you. Have a safe trip! You don’t have to buy gifts for the kids, by the way. The place we rented is very small and won’t fit too many things!”
“It’s too late. I’ve already bought them. They’re all small trinkets that don’t take up much space!”
Fu Yiheng utterly regretted pretending to be poor back then and planting the idea in her head. Now, he couldn’t even buy better gifts for the children and her!
“Fine, forget it this time, but don’t do it next time. The three little fellows would already be very happy that you’re back!”
Fu Yiheng pretended to agree. He would still buy whatever gifts he thought necessary, because he didn’t want to be at a disadvantage in case another man more generous than him came along.
“By the way, how’s work?”
He didn’t like that she had to suffer being a car model. The environment she faced was always complicated. He didn’t want her to work too hard either.
“It’s fine!”
She did not dare to admit that she had already been fired. Now that she was working as a servant, she was worried that he would feel upset.
“Then hang in there for another six months. I’ll help you find a better job after that!”
Actually, he wanted to support her and the three children, but he was afraid of scaring her if he said it out loud. Moreover, there would be a bit of a problem with his family, but he could take it slow!
“There’s no need. I told you I don’t want to rely on you.”
Fu Yiheng half-jokingly said, “But I want you to rely on me. Think about it, if you don’t lie on my big, strong shoulders, many other people are waiting to take your place!”
“Haha!”
Shameless man! Li An’an was tickled, and the troubles in her mind had also disappeared!
