Dark Room Deception [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 20

See, alcohol is not completely without benefits. At least when Xia Can couldn't decide whether to reward Fu Jiting, it gave him a reason to say "You are drunk, go to bed early" and then run away in a hurry.

Back in the room, Xia Can was so upset that she messed up her hair. She shouldn't have left so soon. Fu Jiting was straightforward, but he became a stingy guy who didn't know how to handle emotions - he was at a loss when he heard gentle, tentative words - he could have handled Shang You and other admirers calmly and retreated safely.

But on the other hand, he thought, it was not wrong to say that Fu Jiting was drunk. If he was not drunk, how could he dare to say such bold words with his personality.

Closeness. Each other. Love…

Is it because Fu Jiting promised to treat him well after marriage, and her definition of "well" happened to include love? Then if he were to marry someone else, would Fu Jiting still ask to get close to her and fall in love with her?

Overnight, they developed a tacit understanding between husband and wife, and they both avoided certain topics, including whether Fu Jiting heard the unpleasant words Xia Can said, and why Fu Jiting wanted those rewards.

Xia Can was not the kind of person who liked to argue. He knew that if he asked, Fu Jiting would probably answer him one by one.

But he didn't want to ask. Anyway, the reward was not given immediately or had to be given. The final right of interpretation belonged to Young Master Xia. After thinking it over, he decided to unilaterally refuse to think about those things anymore.

In fact, there was probably no good time to talk, so Fu Jiting left early the next day.

Xia Can opened his eyes and saw the message from Fu Jiting on his phone: "I'm on a business trip to M City and will be back in a week. Don't miss me." Xia Can felt complicated. He closed his eyes and relaxed for a while. He silently complained on the bed: "Who misses you?"

This is good, he unilaterally refused to think about it, and Fu Jiting unilaterally disappeared. The refusal was invalid.

Before Fu Jiting left, he left a lot of traces at home. Looking around, there were white sticky notes in several places, with nanny-level intimate tips, such as the operation steps of the purifier, the specific storage location of cat toys and snacks, and the shelf life of some yogurt in the refrigerator. Fu Jiting carefully considered every detail, even arranging people to come to the house regularly to clean up Shang Shang's poop, comb his hair, and add water and food, to ensure that Xia Can could continue to live here without getting involved in housework.

Xia Can stood in the restaurant speechless. As usual, there was a glass of water poured for him on the table, and some simple breakfast was prepared beside it. The difference was that the man who was about to go to work was no longer at the table.

Well, I do think so a little bit.

There was no way, he had to argue for himself, who asked Fu Jiting to be so sensible.

Fu Jiting never caused any trouble and took care of all the housework within his ability. Although they had an aunt to clean the house and prepare dinner, Fu Jiting preferred to cook by himself when he got off work on time. Sometimes when Xia Can came home late, he would prepare her portion as well. Xia Can was picky about food and had countless things he didn't like. Master Fu's cooking skills were superb, and he could always make one or two soups and dishes to satisfy him. After a few times, there was no dish on the table that Xia Can didn't eat, and he couldn't find any fault with it.
