After Fu Jie was all dressed up, his face was full of smiles.
He looked at Xu Ruowei, who was also beautifully made up, and his face was beaming.
Fu Jie bent down, intending to get closer to Xu Ruowei and place a kiss on her face. But just then, Xu Ruowei dodged him.
The smile that had been on Fu Jie's face vanished instantly.
These days, he had been taking care of Xu Ruowei and had done many things for her. Of course, Xu Ruowei had also treated him very well during this time.
He had thought that Xu Ruowei had truly accepted him. And today, he wanted to give her a surprise. Thinking about such a happy moment, he felt she wouldn't dodge him if he kissed her.
Indeed, after Xu Ruowei dodged him, Fu Jie's mood soured. People were always like that; once they obtained something, they desired more.
Xu Ruowei was slightly taken aback. She had never expected Fu Jie to suddenly do something like this, and she had reacted without thinking, dodging him.
Seeing Fu Jie's displeased expression, Xu Ruowei's heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, she was only using Fu Jie and had never truly thought about being with him. But if she had to give up Fu Jie, she couldn't bear to.
Fu Jie was too important to her. Her entire life now, those people still treated her with utmost respect, and she had grown accustomed to it.
She absolutely couldn't lose him now. At the very least, before she could regain Shen Xizhou's favor, she definitely couldn't lose Fu Jie's help. After all, the power behind Fu Jie was what she desired.
She still wanted to use Fu Jie to make a comeback.
Only when she made a comeback could she be worthy of Shen Xizhou.
At that time, Shen Xizhou would surely look at her with new eyes.
"Fu Jie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dodge you. I just... I was just thinking that my makeup, which I spent so long on, I didn't want it to be smudged."
Listening to Xu Ruowei's words, Fu Jie's earlier displeasure disappeared.
She looked at Fu Jie with a slight smile and said, "Fu Jie, although I don't know where you're taking me today, you clearly value it so much. The place you're taking me must be something you cherish the most. I don't want to cause trouble for you because of me."
"Fu Jie, I know what I did just now was a bit excessive."
"But, Fu Jie, I was just too nervous, wanting to avoid any mistakes, which is why I acted like that."
"Fu Jie, you won't blame me, will you?"
As Xu Ruowei spoke, she moved closer to Fu Jie, and as she was about to lean in to kiss him, she said, "Fu Jie, if this is what you want, then I can fulfill your wish."
As Xu Ruowei spoke and was about to act, Fu Jie directly dodged her.
Xu Ruowei was now utterly confused, even wondering why this was happening. Had Fu Jie developed a rift with her because of what just happened?
"Fu Jie, is it because of what just happened? Or is it that you... about me..."
Xu Ruowei's words trailed off before she could finish. She began to sob uncontrollably, putting on a pitiable act that made her look heartbreaking.
Fu Jie's previously unpleasant mood vanished at that moment.
He looked at Xu Ruowei with concern and held her in his arms.
"No, no, it's all my fault."
"Ruowei, it's all my fault for being so impulsive," Fu Jie said, lowering his head in shame.
Fu Jie held Xu Ruowei tightly in his arms, whispering words of comfort in her ear, his face filled with self-reproach.
A triumphant smile curved Xu Ruowei's lips. Heh, see? It was that simple. Fu Jie had been so angry, but with a few words, she had smoothed everything over.
Fu Jie released Xu Ruowei and looked at her, feigning a mysterious expression. "Ruowei, there's no time to waste. Come, I'll take you to a great place."
Xu Ruowei really wanted to ask what place Fu Jie was talking about.
What was so important? Why was he being so mysterious?
"Fu Jie, what is it? You have to tell me a little bit. So I can be prepared."
Fu Jie thought for a moment. He wanted to tell her, but then he reconsidered. He had prepared for so long and hadn't revealed it yet. Telling her now would be very bad.
Besides, he wanted to give Xu Ruowei a surprise. If he told her, the so-called surprise would be gone. Therefore, Fu Jie ultimately chose not to tell Xu Ruowei.
Xu Ruowei looked at Fu Jie. When Fu Jie said nothing, she clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with unwillingness. But in the end, she said nothing.
If she wanted to rely on Fu Jie, she had to do this.
Fu Jie noticed Xu Ruowei's displeasure. But thinking that Xu Ruowei would surely be happy later, he put away this thought.
...
The car stopped.
Fu Jie got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and helped Xu Ruowei out.
Xu Ruowei looked up and saw Fu Jie's house.
In fact, this was her first time visiting Fu Jie's home. However, she had investigated everything about Fu Jie clearly, so she naturally knew where his home was.
But she couldn't figure out why Fu Jie was bringing her to his home now. What did he want?
Dressed so formally, and with all the things he had been telling her, she now realized that Fu Jie had told her from the beginning. It was just that she hadn't thought in that direction.
Standing outside the gate of Fu Jie's house, Xu Ruowei now wanted to run away.
Fu Jie loved her, loved her desperately, she knew that. But at Fu family's home, besides Fu Jie, everyone else hated her to death.
Her appearance here was definitely not a good thing.
At this moment, she wanted to escape immediately, but she knew very well that she couldn't just run away. She needed to find a suitable excuse and opportunity to leave.
And she couldn't make Fu Jie unhappy.
Fu Jie held Xu Ruowei's hand and was about to go inside when Xu Ruowei stopped.
"Fu Jie, is there something important you brought me to Fu family's for? I..." Xu Ruowei said, sounding a little hesitant, but she didn't continue. It seemed she was enduring something.
Fu Jie also noticed Xu Ruowei's difficulty. He thought that perhaps Xu Ruowei was like this because of past events.
It was his fault for not explaining it to her earlier, which made Xu Ruowei behave like this.
He thought that if he explained it now, Xu Ruowei should be able to understand him directly.
"Ruowei, actually, I want to bring you to meet my parents."
"I don't want you to just follow me around without a proper title. I want to tell everyone that you are Fu Jie's fiancée."
"I won't allow anyone to bully you."
Fu Jie held Xu Ruowei's hand and said with a smile.
He thought that once he told Xu Ruowei the truth, she would surely be happy.
He thought this was what every woman wanted. And today, he had finally achieved it, so Xu Ruowei would definitely be happy.
