After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me Chapter 27 - 27 26 It's Actually Him

27: Chapter 26: It’s Actually Him 27: Chapter 26: It’s Actually Him Ji Qingtan bit her lip as she watched his retreating figure, never expecting Fu Tingzhou to be so heartless towards her, showing none of the affection they once shared.

Originally, Ji Qingtan thought that, given Fu Tingzhou’s cold and aloof nature, there would be no other won around him, and she would be the only one able to get close to him.

As long as she waited for Fu Yunye to die, she could openly be with him.

Even though she had betrayed him, considering their past affections, as long as she showed her vulnerable and innocent side, it was only a matter of ti before he would forgive her.

Since she was 15, she had been with the Fu Family, and had known the Fu brothers for over a decade.

Originally, she thought that the eldest son of the Fu Family, Fu Yunye, would be the heir, but to her surprise, after marrying Fu Yunye and a year later, he was injured in a car accident, damaging his spine and legs, condemning him to a wheelchair for life.

Now, Fu Yunye was recuperating in another residence, and Ji Qingtan visited him once a week.

The two maintained their marital relationship.

And who could have predicted that the least favored Third Young Master Fu, seen as an illegitimate child by outsiders, would eventually stand at the very pinnacle of the Fu Family?

At this mont, Ji Qingtan regretted her actions and felt jealous of Su ngshu.

Fu Tingzhou was walking down the stairs when a voice ca from his phone.

“This is the police station, is this Fu Tingzhou?

Your wife is suspected of involvent in a theft case….”

The man frowned slightly, pausing in his steps.

His wife?

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Tang Xi?!

–

Tang Xi was resting with her eyes closed when she heard footsteps outside.

She knew it was either a summons for an interrogation or soone coming to see her.

It was probably the forr; the Su Family wouldn’t co to see her out of kindness.

It had been two days since Su Kangrong warned her, and Xia Minjun along with Su ngshu would probably relish the thought of her being locked up for life.

A policewoman ca in, “Sign here, and you can leave?”

What?

Tang Xi opened her eyes.

She could leave?

For a mont, she was stunned, seemingly unable to grasp the reality.

The policewoman said, “The Xu Family has withdrawn the lawsuit, saying it was a misunderstanding.

Your husband is waiting outside for you, once you sign, you can leave.”

Tang Xi had just signed her na.

What husband.

She was bewildered, not understanding the policewoman’s words.

Just yesterday, the Xu Family’s lawyer was still saying she might face prison ti.

And now, she was to be discharged without charges?

Walking out of the police station, Tang Xi realized it was raining outside.

She had no umbrella, but filled with joy at actually leaving the police station, she didn’t mind the pouring rain, hugging herself and rushing forward.

The freedom to breathe felt so good.

Yet at this mont, Tang Xi didn’t know where she could go…

Back ho?

Back to that unfamiliar place called the Su Family’s ho?

But that wasn’t her ho.

“Beep—”

She had taken a few steps when suddenly she heard the sound of a car honking.

Tang Xi stopped in her tracks, amidst the blurry rain night.

She watched a black Maybach parked not far away, the bright headlights glaring, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes, seeing through the misty rain the unique crest on the license plate belonging to the Fu Family.

She vaguely knew who was sitting in the car.

The car window rolled down halfway, and a man’s cold, indifferent eyes swept over her face, Fu Tingzhou gently parted his lips, his commanding tone devoid of warmth yet leaving no room for refusal, “Get in the car.”

In that mont, Tang Xi suddenly recalled the policewoman’s words, “Your husband is waiting outside for you.”

Looking at his handso profile, Tang Xi seed frozen in place.

The man, running out of patience, spoke again with evident annoyance, “Get in the car.”

Tang Xi finally settled into the car, instantly enveloped by warmth.

It dispelled the chill at her fingertips.

Tang Xi’s clothes hadn’t been changed for two days, completely soaked, making her look particularly awkward inside the luxury car.

The car interior carried a faint scent of ebony.

Outside, the rain pattered against her eardrums.

But at this mont, her thoughts were sowhat chaotic.

Her heartbeat began to quicken, as if giant vines, silently, were entwining around her heart, slowly tightening.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed the man’s hand resting on the armrest, his fingers long and unadorned, casually placed there, his knees elegantly crossed.

The car slowly started as the man pressed the accelerator.

The scenery outside the window rushed by.

The car’s interior was quiet, the relentless rain outside seed to disturb Tang Xi’s heartstrings, and she finally looked toward the man’s handso and refined profile, whispering, “Thank you.”

It was very late, the night deep and silent.

Why did he co to rescue her?

The police had said that the Xu Family dropped the charges, so it must have been him…

who helped her.

After all, the Xu Family is soone even Su Kangrong dares not offend.

It could only be him, only this man before her has that kind of power.

But why would he help her…

Could it be because of Su ngshu?

Thinking of this, Tang Xi’s complexion turned pale.

But apart from this, she could think of no other reason.

Suddenly, her thoughts beca disordered; looking at the swiftly passing scenery outside, she realized this was the route to her ho.

Was Fu Tingzhou taking her back to the Su Family?

No, she won’t go back!

Almost imdiately, Tang Xi instinctively said, “I’m not going ho.”

She assertively said, “I’m not going back, just drop off at any hotel.”

Clearly, the man was not going to follow her arrangent; Tang Xi grabbed his hand, almost disturbing his steering, Fu Tingzhou frowned at her, “If you want to die, roll out by yourself, don’t involve .”

Tang Xi’s face turned pale, almost imdiately releasing her hand and reaching for the door handle to open the car door.

The door was locked.

Tang Xi said, “I want to get out of the car.”

The man’s speed did not decrease, she almost shouted, “Fu Tingzhou, I want to get out of the car!!”

“Screech—”

The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground.

The car abruptly stopped.

Due to inertia, Tang Xi’s body leaned forward, her heartbeat accelerated, and glancing sideways at the man’s indifferent face and icy eyes, Tang Xi slightly shuddered.

She is a very unsuccessful wife.

This is a marriage that was forcibly pursued.

She took a deep breath, the faint scent of ebony making her feel bitterness in her chest, she looked at Fu Tingzhou, “Goodbye.”

After speaking, she opened the car door.

Cold wind and heavy rain suddenly attacked her as she prepared to get out.

Suddenly a hand restrained her wrist.

The next second, a force pulled her back, and the car door was closed accordingly.

As Tang Xi found herself collapsing back into the seat, she heard the man’s oppressive tone mixed with the chill of the rainy night, “Did I allow you to leave?”

Tang Xi looked at him, her chin seized by him, Fu Tingzhou’s eyes cold as ice, “Carrying the na Mrs.

Fu, you got locked up in the police station, suspected of stealing a million in jewels, Tang Xi, don’t you think you owe an explanation!”

“I didn’t steal anything.” Tang Xi frowned in discomfort, seeing the anger on his face, she said again, “Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t steal anything.”

“I’ll get to the bottom of this matter!”

“I never thought I would trouble you…” Tang Xi couldn’t even dare to think that it was Fu Tingzhou who bailed her out from the police station in the middle of the night, the air filled with the slightly bitter scent of ebony, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she looked at his face, once again trying to defend herself, she didn’t want in her heart…

She didn’t want him to misunderstand her.

She didn’t want to be labeled as a ‘thief’.
