Chapter 18: The President’s Wife is on Strike (18)
The man was tall and had long legs, so he took big steps and soon returned to the restaurant.
"Xu Fanli, do you know that the suit you matched for me today, this tie is obviously..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Xu Fanli looking pale, leaning on a cane with one hand and holding the table with the other.
Normally, there would be no servants around when the two of them ate, but because Xu Fanli injured her leg yesterday, and they were worried that it would be inconvenient for her, so they specially arranged for one to come over today. As soon as Xu Fanli finished her meal, the servant brought the crutch that she had bought yesterday to the lady, with a circle of soft velvet wrapped around the grip of the crutch, and then went to get the wheelchair that had arrived overnight.
Xu Fanli originally said that there was no need to bother with this and that it should be fine in a few days, but Aunt Jing objected and said that she should tell the wife, Xu Fanli's mother-in-law, Feng Yusong's mother. Mother Feng always loved her and would definitely come to see her if she knew she was injured.
She also didn't want to worry her mother-in-law, so she had no choice but to go with Aunt Jing.
When the servant went to get the wheelchair, she stood up and wanted to sit on the sofa.
My right foot was slightly raised and not touching the ground, so it was a bit inconvenient to walk. I thought I should wait for the wheelchair to come, which would be more convenient. But when I turned around, my right foot accidentally touched the corner of the table.
There was a pain.
"hiss."
His face turned pale instantly.
Appears extremely fragile.
This was the appearance of Xu Fanli that Feng Yusong saw when he came in. She looked slightly dazed and surprised.
"What's wrong with your right foot?" The tone was obviously different from the cold questioning just now. It was gentler now, as if he was worried.
Because Xu Fanli had just bitten her lips while enduring the pain, her lips were left with teeth marks and had begun to turn pale, contrasting with her pale and slightly fragile face. The corners of her eyes were slightly red and moist.
Xu Fanli frowned slightly, "I sprained it accidentally."
The person in front of him was pale, and her fragility became more and more obvious, as if jade was shattered and moonlight was about to fall. It made people's hearts tighten, and they wished they could bear the pain for her.
Feng Yusong stepped forward and looked at Xu Fanli's pale face filled with pain. His fingers moved slightly and his brows furrowed more and more.
No one mentioned Xu Fanli's foot injury to Feng Yusong, and everyone thought he knew about it.
Even if the Madam didn't say anything, how could she not know since we were sleeping in the same bed? It's not like we slept in separate rooms like before.
Unexpectedly, this person didn't know anything at all.
It wasn't until a day later that he discovered it by accident.
If he hadn't come back early this morning, he probably wouldn't have noticed Xu Fanli when he went out and came back.
This realization made him feel a little confused and uneasy.
Feng Yusong is not addicted to smoking, but at this moment he felt like using nicotine to maintain his rationality and calmness.
Xu Fanli, his wife, didn't even tell him when her foot was injured. Was there a lot of things about her that he didn't know before?
This possibility made Feng Yusong doubt himself.
Then he recalled that yesterday, after Xu Fanli said she couldn't go with him, he interrupted her before she finished speaking, and he thought it was probably because of an injury to her foot.
Thinking of this, Feng Yusong looked at Xu Fanli again: "Sorry."
"Ok?"
"I interrupted you yesterday because I misunderstood you and thought you didn't want to go with me."
"It's okay, it's the same even if you know it now." Xu Fanli pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes moved slightly, as if the wind was blowing on the surface of the lake, causing slight ripples, but they soon disappeared.
An apologetic smile appeared on his pale face. "I should be the one to say sorry. You specifically asked me to go with you to meet Mr. Yu, but I couldn't go. I failed your kindness. I'm sorry."
Feng Yusong didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Yeah."
Xu Fanli lowered her eyes and said nothing.
The man took two steps forward, stretched out his arms, and was about to pick up Xu Fanli.
As soon as he put his hand on Xu Fanli's waist, Xu Fanli realized what he wanted to do and shook her head, "No need to trouble you, Xiaoying went to get the wheelchair for me, I can just take the elevator upstairs."
When Feng Yusong heard these two words, he couldn't help but wonder: "Wheelchair?"
Is her foot injured so badly?
As if understanding Feng Yusong's confusion, Xu Fanli explained: "It's not serious, just a sprain. Aunt Jing insisted that I use a wheelchair, and I couldn't persuade her."
There was a helpless smile on her face, but it was obvious that she didn't hate this kind of care.
"If it's inconvenient for you to move around, call Aunt Jing and the others if you need anything."
Xu Fanli nodded, her black hair falling down obediently, her face still pale, but still smiling, "I know."
"Then I'm going out."
"Okay, be careful on the road and stay safe."
The anger that had accumulated in the past few days before Feng Yusong came in gradually dissipated.
Instead, there was a slight tingling sensation in the heart.
That is probably an emotion called heartache.
Suppressing the unprecedented emotion deep in his heart, Feng Yusong is still the cold, strong and invincible Feng Yusong.
When he went out again, the man had returned to his usual state. The driver wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and felt relieved.
On the other side, after Feng Yusong left, the smile on Xu Fanli's face gradually faded, and she looked neither sad nor happy.
It's like there's a thin layer of fog, making it hard to see clearly, and giving people a sense of coldness and alienation.
The longer Xu Fanli spent with Feng Yusong, the clearer it became that Feng Yusong didn't like her.
It's like the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, you can see it but you can't touch it.
Xu Fanli also learned to reconcile with herself and no longer forced herself to be Feng Yusong's perfect and understanding wife, just like she had learned to understand that no matter how sensible and well-behaved she was in the eyes of outsiders, she would never be able to compare to Xu Manjia's position in the hearts of Xu's parents.
She will always be an adopted daughter from another family, while Xu Manjia is their biological daughter.
After she understood this truth, she no longer cried out of grievance and began to have expectations for her adoptive parents.
In fact, although she didn't understand the details of what Dong Zhenyu said to her, she didn't feel that bad.
Because she had long understood that her adoptive parents did not love her, and she was prepared for the fact that they would ask her to marry into other families.
However, Xu Fanli never expected that she would marry Feng Yusong by accident.
She was happy for a long time when she found out.
It lasted so long that it felt like a dream.
Then, the dream woke up.
She woke up too...
No matter how hard she tried to be a good wife, Feng Yusong just didn't like her, no matter how well she did, no matter how many years she had liked him, no matter how many people said that Feng Yusong had a beautiful and obedient wife, how enviable...
She just felt bitter.
it's good now.
She was no longer happy about Feng Yusong's seemingly concerned words, nor was she sad or disappointed because Feng Yusong did not ask why she was injured.
This change of emotion gives people the most intuitive feeling.
It's like the ice flowers blooming quietly on the snowy glaciers after night falls.
It is like the clear moonlight in the eternal river shining on the tallest treetops.
