Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 103 - 78 You came back so late today
Chapter 103: Chapter 78 You came back so late today
Ji Sang finally overcame that faint fear in her heart and went upstairs to change out of her simple home clothes.
Because of her job, Ji Sang’s everyday attire mostly consisted of convenient and casual clothing; she owned very few skirts, let alone cocktail dresses suitable for a candlelit dinner.
After rummaging through her entire wardrobe, Ji Sang finally found a French-style long dress.
It had been purchased during a trip abroad with Su Ge and had only been worn once.
The color was a bright, vivid red.
It was the kind of style Su Ge liked, and Ji Sang rarely wore it. But that time, upon Su Ge’s insistence, she put on the red dress and walked with him in the golden twilight of France, unknowingly becoming part of many people’s scenery.
After returning that day, Su Ge had made a comment:
People who are usually low-key can become stunningly beautiful with just a little bit of dressing up.
Even though Su Ge had seen countless types of beauties, he was still deeply astounded by Ji Sang on that day.
Ji Sang looked down at the red dress in her hands and chose to put it on.
In the bathroom, Ji Sang looked at her reflection in the mirror and for a moment forgot to breathe.
It wasn’t that she was so vain about her outfit, but she had never thought that she would dress up for someone else one day.
What would Fu Yisi’s reaction be when he saw her like this?
Ji Sang found herself somewhat at a loss.
“Does leaving my hair down like this look a bit messy?”
Ji Sang raised her hand to arrange her hair but couldn’t seem to be satisfied with it.
“Or would it look better tied up?”
Ji Sang then found a simple hairband and tied her hair into a low ponytail, gently curling the strands that framed her face.
After a few fixes, time was almost up. Ji Sang picked up some perfume, sprayed a little on her wrist, and hurried downstairs.
At this time, she would usually be in the kitchen preparing dinner. But this time…
Ji Sang sat on the sofa, constantly attentive to any movement from the entrance.
Six fifty.
If Fu Yisi finished work normally, he should be home by now.
With that thought, Ji Sang straightened her posture.
But minutes passed, and there were still no sounds from the entrance.
Was there another emergency at the hospital?
Ji Sang grabbed her phone from the coffee table, but she hadn’t received any messages from Fu Yisi. If there were an emergency at the hospital and he couldn’t come back on time, he would have called her in advance.
Then he must have been delayed on the road.
Ji Sang sat back on the sofa, her hands nervously shifting from clutching the hem of her dress to tightly hugging herself.
At the Grill Home Cinema, the manager carefully inspected the barbecue that had just been packed again before respectfully presenting it to Fu Yisi.
“Mr. Fu, here is the barbecue you ordered.”
Fu Yisi lowered his eyes to receive the bag, his brows furrowed, still somewhat concerned.
“The ingredients and hygiene…”
“Everything is up to standard, please be assured.”
The manager was just short of bowing deeply. Twenty minutes ago, he suddenly received a call from the boss, instructing him to prepare the barbecue, and it had to be the same kinds that Mrs. and Ms. Ji had eaten last time.
He was thoroughly warned about the ingredients and hygiene.
He found it strange how he had never noticed the boss being so particular about food before. Moreover, this was his establishment—how could the food he delivered be unclean or unsafe?
But when he saw Fu Yisi, he understood everything.
It turns out the barbecue was ordered by Mr. Fu.
No wonder, as a doctor, he would have some concerns about food.
But what he didn’t understand was, if concerned, why specifically order barbecue from their place? Of course, these thoughts, the manager could only keep to himself.
…
When Fu Yisi arrived home, it was already more than ten minutes later. Almost the moment he opened the door, he sensed something was different and subconsciously lightened his movements.
Ji Sang had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
The morning’s hustle and the worry and fear she’d been through, coupled with the recent tension and anticipation, had exhausted Ji Sang. She had fallen asleep while waiting.
Fu Yisi gently placed the things on the coffee table before he took a careful look around.
On the table were already plated steak, pasta, and red wine, and the little woman who had fallen asleep was wearing a red dress that he had never mentioned before. Her hair seemed to have been carefully styled, but now because she’d fallen asleep, it got a bit disheveled.
Eyebrows and eyes were delicately accentuated with rouge, lips covered with a thin layer of lip glaze.
It was a different color from the day.
Fu Yisi suddenly understood why this ungrateful woman had been so actively asking him when he was coming home today.
So… she had prepared all this.
In that moment, the man’s hard heart suddenly softened completely. When he caught sight of the fatigue around Ji Sang’s eyes, his brow furrowed slightly.
“Silly girl,”
Too tired to even rest properly.
Fu Yisi sighed softly and bent down to pick the woman up.
But as he reached the staircase, Ji Sang in his arms began to wake, looking drowsily at Fu Yisi with her eyes barely open.
“Mmm… you’re back,”
“Mmm,”
Fu Yisi stopped, looked down at her, and asked softly,
“Do you want to continue sleeping?”
Ji Sang blinked. Her brain took a moment to catch up. The dazed expression on her face was rather endearing. Fu Yisi couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
“Then let’s not sleep anymore, okay? You need to eat something,”
At his words, Ji Sang’s eyes widened slightly.
“You came back so late today,”
She had fallen asleep waiting.
“The food must be cold,”
Ji Sang mumbled under her breath unintentionally, unaware that she looked exactly like a little wife complaining about her husband’s late return. Added to that her voice, slightly languid from just waking up, involuntarily made the corners of Fu Yisi’s mouth curl up.
“Yeah, my bad,”
The man turned and walked back to the dining room, placing Ji Sang in a seat.
“Just wait a bit, I’ll heat it up,”
Fu Yisi gently kissed Ji Sang on the forehead before taking the steak to the kitchen.
It was after hearing the sounds inside that Ji Sang fully awakened.
Then her eyes started to look a bit puzzled.
Why didn’t Fu Yisi have a single doubt when he saw all the things on the table? He didn’t even ask her.
Moreover, Ji Sang lowered her head to look at her own outfit; indeed, it was much more exquisite than usual, yet she saw nothing else in the man’s eyes.
Oh, the gaze was much gentler than usual.
But…
Ji Sang pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a bit downhearted.
She had been thinking about how Fu Yisi would react after coming home and seeing all this. But she never expected that his reaction would be a non-reaction!
No confusion, no questions.
It was just like usual; if he came home late, he would heat up the food himself.

“…”
Ji Sang sighed, propping her chin with her hand and staring at the busy man in the kitchen, quietly complaining to herself.
Her earlier worries and nervousness were all in vain.
Fu Yisi… didn’t think of that at all.
