Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 293 - 267 Is He Really Preparing to Return to the Fu Family?
Chapter 293: Chapter 267 Is He Really Preparing to Return to the Fu Family?
Back then, Fu Yisi, who was forced into an arranged meeting, thought that arriving early at the cafe was already the least he could do. It was merely a formality between future prestigious families or what one could call an act of cultivation. Yet, unexpectedly, just that one meeting sealed a significant event in his life.
Perhaps, it was that encounter that laid the groundwork for Fu Yisi’s eventual love for Ji Sang.
If he had met someone who didn’t catch his eye, why would Fu Yisi have taken the initiative to propose marriage directly?
Ji Sang’s eyes curved into a smile.
"Do you still remember?"
"Of course, I remember. Did you wear it on purpose?"
Ji Sang’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she naturally wouldn’t admit to it, haughtily tilting her chin upwards.
"I just picked something at random."
Out of all the clothes in her wardrobe, she just happened to randomly pick this particular dress.
Fu Yisi didn’t point it out.
In the last two hours of their anniversary, the couple sat on the carpet, holding glasses of red wine, and toasted under the moonlight.
...
Min Yunwen was on the same flight with Ji Sang, and their seats were near each other.
When Fu Yisi went to the bathroom, Min Yunwen finally brought up the trip to the South Sea.
After the previous two experiences, Min Yunwen was now smart enough not to mention what he’d accidentally let slip in front of Fu Yisi, but instead asked,
"If all goes well, we should be departing in a week. How are your preparations going?"
With a sigh from Ji Sang, Min Yunwen understood—she hadn’t even mentioned the South Sea trip to Fu Yisi yet.
Min Yunwen frowned, not quite understanding why she was so hesitant.
"I find that Fu Yisi is quite easy-going."
Of course, it only mattered what Ji Sang said. However, Min Yunwen wasn’t worried that Fu Yisi would prevent Ji Sang from going to the South Sea; if that were the case, he would have told Ji Sang about it when he accidentally spilled the beans.
Instead of keeping it a secret and also requesting him to do the same.
Ji Sang touched her nose lightly, somewhat helplessly.
"It’s not his issue, it’s that I’m worried about myself."
Min Yunwen: ...
So, the problem wasn’t whether Fu Yisi would agree, but rather that Ji Sang was reluctant to go to the South Sea?
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t tell me you’re having regrets now. You promised me, you can’t go back on your word after I’ve helped you with your wedding photoshoot."
Besides, the trip to the South Sea was just a month. In that month, they might capture the once-in-a-century sight of a whale fall, and yet she was hesitating?
"What are you worried about?"
Min Yunwen was initially lounging back in his chair, but after Ji Sang finished speaking, not only did he sit up straight, his expression also tightened.
He was truly afraid that Ji Sang would back out.
Now, with only a week left, where would he find someone to accompany him if Ji Sang didn’t go?
"I can’t bear to part."
She couldn’t bear to leave Fu Yisi behind. She was used to being alone and dealing with the outside world in the past, but once she returned home and experienced his meticulous care and tenderness, she indeed developed a bit of laziness.
She couldn’t bear his embrace, couldn’t bear his kisses.
Min Yunwen: ...
God damn it, "can’t bear to part"?
They were about to go back, and here she was, throwing dog food at him.
Just then, Fu Yisi returned. Min Yunwen tugged at the corner of his mouth, not continuing the discussion, but he still left a remark.
"You can’t go back on the promise you made to me."
After saying that, Min Yunwen took a glance at Fu Yisi, then pulled down his eye mask, turned his head to the other side, and prepared to rest.
Fu Yisi raised an eyebrow and silently turned to ask Ji Sang.
Ji Sang, however, only shook her head.
It was not something that could be discussed with Fu Yisi on the airplane.
....
Although Fu Yisi had deliberately tried to suppress news about him at Junlin, anyone who had been through the rough-and-tumble of the business world wouldn’t miss this piece of information.
And to the people in S City, Fu Yisi’s identity was no secret.
The heir to the Fu Family, even though there were rumors he had become a doctor in the past few years, everyone knew he would one day return to the empire of the business world.
It was unexpected, however, that he was the person in charge at Junlin.
The changing of hands at Junlin was news from two years ago!
This meant, at least two years ago, no, perhaps even earlier, Fu Yisi had been quietly expanding his influence. And now with this incident at Junlin, Fu Yisi’s personal involvement.
What did that mean?
Was he already preparing to return to the Fu Family and take over the family business?
This matter caused quite a stir in S City’s business circles. Everyone speculated and pondered over how to build a good relationship with the future master of the Fu Family.
Only Fu Yisi, the person involved, was very calm.
After returning to Yujing Apartment, he and Ji Sang washed up, and then they slept until the evening.
Their last bit of leisure.
Because just after returning to S City, Jiangshui Police Station called.
Ji Sang woke up with Fu Yisi and felt a pang of sorrow seeing him rush off to the police station after a meal.
After a few words of admonition, she finally spoke out as she saw him off at the door.
"I’ll wait for you to come back tonight, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Fu Yisi’s gaze halted for a moment, then as usual, he bent down and kissed Ji Sang on the forehead.
"Okay."
After seeing Fu Yisi off, Ji Sang’s shoulders slumped suddenly, finding it somewhat hard to adjust from the end of the holiday. Sitting on the couch in a daze for a long time, Ji Sang received a call from Ji Hanwen.
"Ah Shang, did you guys come back from your vacation?"
It was then Ji Sang remembered she hadn’t visited the Ji Family before leaving, and a sense of guilt suddenly surged.
"Dad, we came back this afternoon and haven’t had the chance to visit you yet...."
Her voice trailed off in self-reproach.
Ji Hanwen knew Ji Sang well and chuckled at her response,
"Dad didn’t mean that. I had a gathering this afternoon, and when I heard that Xiao Fu was the person in charge at Junlin, I thought I’d call and ask if he’s planning on taking over the Fu Family’s business."
This question caught Ji Sang off guard.
Because their marriage had started with the presence of the issue of returning to the Fu Group. She knew that Fu Yisi didn’t want to return to the Fu Family a year ago; he wanted to continue being a doctor.
This was a promise he made to Aunt Fu Zhixing, no, more accurately, it was a punishment or redemption for himself from sixteen years ago.
Therefore, she didn’t want to bring up the matter of returning to the Fu Family in front of Fu Yisi.
Because she knew clearly that returning to the Fu Family meant giving up the identity of a doctor.
She didn’t want that, and she thought that Fu Yisi didn’t want that, either.
But this time, she was also somewhat confused.
Logically, if Fu Yisi intended to keep his role at Junlin a secret, with his and the Fu Family’s power, it would have been entirely possible.
Yet Fu Yisi merely suppressed the news casually, as if just going through the motions.
This also suggested that he had intended for the people of S City to see the news.
So, what was his purpose?
Was he really preparing to return to the Fu Group?
