Chapter 386 Happiness does not need the affirmation of outsiders
"I see," Fu Yonglin understood, "You always think a lot about her."
"Really..." Fu Ruoshi shook his head, "But I always feel that it's not enough."
at dusk.
When Wen Zhixia came out of the hospital, Fu Ruoshi's car was already waiting for her on the roadside.
"This is for you, a meeting gift." Fu Ruoshi handed her a gift box, "Purely handmade."
Wen Zhixia took it and was greeted by a refreshing fragrance. She quickly opened it and saw that it was an exquisitely designed scented candle.
"Thank you," she sniffed, "mint lemon verbena."
"You can even smell that?" Fu Ruoshi exclaimed, "Do you have a dog's nose?"
Wen Zhixia hit him.
Now, every time Fu Ruoshi comes back from a business trip, he brings her gifts.
At first, he used to bring some luxury goods like bags and watches. Later, Wen Zhixia refused sternly, saying that the wardrobe could no longer hold them. Only then did he start to give her some exquisite and practical daily necessities.
When the car was halfway there, Fu Ruoshi suggested, "Let's go back to the villa and have steak tonight. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it now."
He wanted to give her a surprise. The renovation of the villa was almost done, and it was time to pick her up.
"it is good."
After half an hour.
As the automatic door of the villa opened upwards, a paradise-like scene appeared before our eyes.
In the center of the villa is a huge fountain, surrounded by flowers and plants, some of which have just sprouted and some are already in full bloom.
"Oh my God! Stop the car!"
Wen Zhixia was surprised and happy. She quickly unbuckled her seat belt, jumped out of the car and ran inside.
The originally cold iron door has now been replaced with a retro wooden door inlaid with copper carvings, which is warm and elegant.
Going further back, there is a cobblestone path, and through it is a corridor covered with wisteria flowers. These arrangements were not there before, and they were a result of careful consideration.
Fu Ruoshi walked behind, and looking at Wen Zhixia's happy and brisk footsteps, his heart gradually settled down.
He was not afraid of wasting his time, he was just afraid that she would not like it.
"It's so beautiful," Wen Zhixia turned around as she walked, "When did you decorate it? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Life is full of surprises~" Fu Ruoshi quickened his pace, walked to her side and embraced her, "Do you like it?"
Wen Zhixia nodded heavily. "I like it. These are my favorite flowers. I always felt that this place was too deserted and empty before, but now that the flowers are planted, the atmosphere has become much better."
Not only has the environment changed, but the two people's state of mind has also changed.
"The back mountain hasn't been decorated yet, let's eat first," Fu Ruoshi said, "After dinner, you come with me to the back mountain and give me some suggestions."
When we arrived at the restaurant, the fried steak was already on the table.
After they ate for a while, Fu Ruoshi said, "By the way, your uncle and aunt came to the company to see me."
"They came to see you?" Wen Zhixia paused with the fork in her hand, but she wasn't too surprised. "You ignored them, didn't you? Don't pay any attention to them. I don't even answer their calls anymore."
"If you don't want to bother with it, then don't bother with it. I'll help you solve it." Fu Ruoshi consoled her, "It's a coincidence that the company is currently short of a human resources specialist. That kind of position is usually reserved for people with connections. Instead of leaving it empty, it's better to hire one of our own."
Wen Zhixia quickly shook her head to stop him. "No, you know my uncle and aunt. When my grandfather was still alive, he arranged all their jobs. But my aunt either complained about the low pay or the distance from home. She wanted to find someone who was high-profile, well-paid, and close to home. It's hard for her to do a good job this way."
"Her position doesn't require any technical skills," Fu Ruoshi cut a piece of steak and passed it to her mouth. "It's just making phone calls and sending emails. It pays 9,500 yuan a month. It's not far from home and it's quite prestigious."
Wen Zhixia still felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Oh, don't worry," Fu Ruoshi comforted her, "There are still three months of probation period. If it doesn't work out, let her go."
Seeing that Wen Zhixia was preoccupied and silent, he moved closer to her.
"Also, I don't want anyone to say that you have no status in the Fu family." Fu Ruoshi stroked her shoulder and explained, "It's common for any company to arrange some nepotism. If I can't solve such a small matter, people will gossip about you, saying that you are reluctant to give your family a sinecure and that you can't hold your head up high because you live under someone else's roof. I can't let them say that about you anymore."
Wen Zhixia's eyelashes trembled slightly and she raised her head.
Fu Ruoshi said seriously, "I want them to know that family matters and even the group's matters are not decided by me alone. I have someone above me."
"Pfft..." Wen Zhixia was amused by him, "You always say abstract things in a serious tone."
When she was in the Fu family before, many people did say that she was living under someone else's roof and could not hold her head up high. She had fine clothes and delicious food but was not happy.
Now she is no longer afraid of these rumors.
She gained confidence and knew who loved her. Whether she was happy or not, she no longer needed the affirmation of outsiders.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself," Wen Zhixia scooped a mouthful of ice cream and fed it to him. "I'm not afraid of what others say about me. Besides, don't I know whether I'm living under someone else's roof or not?"
Fu Ruoshi's expression was somewhat stubborn. "I don't care. This isn't pressure. It's just a piece of cake. From now on, if anyone in your Wen family has any problems, just ask them to call me directly. If I can't even do this for you, then I've been here for nothing."
He slammed the cup down on the table, his tone firm.
Wen Zhixia knew very well that he was always thinking about her, so much so that she would not tolerate any refusal.
"Okay then," she nodded helplessly, "Let's have a trial period to get used to each other. If we really don't get along, there's no need to force it."
Fu Ruoshi nodded, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
After dinner, the two returned to the bedroom.
Wen Zhixia was leaning against the bed, holding her laptop and reading a medical journal.
A cool scent of soap wafted towards me. Fu Ruoshi had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom with only a bath towel tied around his waist, his hair still dripping with water.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really rare." Seeing Wen Zhixia's focused look, Fu Ruoshi sat down beside the bed. "I never thought that a scholar would come to our family. If my grandfather knew, he would be so happy."
Wen Zhixia saw him staring at the screen out of the corner of her eye, and only with a little of her peripheral vision could she see someone's hard and solid body like white jade swaying around him.
"Aren't you one of those, too?" she replied casually. "A top student at MIT."
Fu Ruoshi was always happy when she praised him.
But he was unhappy that she was still staring at the medical journal when he was so "frank" with her.
"The restorative effect of biomaterials..." He looked at the English paper on the screen and nudged Wen Zhixia, "What kind of materials are they? Tell me about them~"
He meant to get her attention, but Wen Zhixia was serious. "It's about several new materials for repairing severe burns, as well as their advantages and disadvantages... Wait, aren't you going to work tonight? Why are you still dawdling here?"
Some things can be done without any mistakes.
Fu Ruoshi has been enduring it for a week.
Seeing Wen Zhixia leaning on the bed so clearly at this moment, the anger in my heart began to rise.
Wen Zhixia easily saw through his tricks.
However, recalling how she had tossed and turned with him that night, she pointed directly outside the door and said, "Go to the study and sleep. I need to read the report tonight."
