Chapter 178 Do you think he might be having an affair?
Zhang Xinru couldn't help but facepalm; Wang Ma had gotten so engrossed in her book that she'd forgotten everything else.
If Wang Ma had waited until she realized the problem, Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia would probably have already broken up.
These past few days, Fu Xiaochen has been leaving early and returning late, sometimes not even coming home for lunch.
The two only had time to talk during dinner, and Fu Xiaochen would rush into the study as soon as he finished eating, so there was no time to argue even if they wanted to!
If they didn't argue, why would they break plates and throw bowls?
If the male and female leads continue like this, won't their relationship grow increasingly distant?
Zhang Xinru was filled with curiosity. What on earth was Fu Xiaochen busy with in the study? He was so busy that he didn't even have time to argue with the female lead!
If Fu Xiaochen hadn't forbidden anyone from disturbing him in his study, she would have liked to use the excuse of delivering water to go in and check on him.
Surely he's not busy with work? Hasn't Fu Xiaochen always been quite free?
Could they be looking for a new maid?
Are she and Wang Ma standing guard by his side not enough for Fu Xiaochen to put on a show?
Men are indeed fickle and easily bored.
These past few days, Xiao Shi has been waiting for her at the villa entrance every night, just to see her. He has also given her a lot of unusual little trinkets.
This gave her a taste of first love, and to be honest, she was a little bit in love.
What if Xiao Shi becomes cold towards her in the future? Will she become depressed like the female lead?
No, she must guard her heart; she can't let Xiao Shi steal it away.
Ye Jiajia and Wang Ma were talking about Fu Xiaochen's recent changes.
“Wang Ma, you don’t understand. It seems like Fu Xiaochen is hiding something from me lately.”
“Before, he would tell me what he did at the company every day. He would have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with me every day. He would restrict me from going out to see other people. He was very possessive of me. He would also be with me at night…”
Ye Jiajia blushed slightly as she spoke.
“But lately he’d rather sleep in the study than sleep with me, he doesn’t tell me anything, and he even lets me go out for walks. He would never have done this before.”
"Moreover, he has a very strong temper. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't have sex with me for a day. He hasn't touched me recently."
"Wang Ma, don't you think there's something wrong with him? Do you think he might be having an affair?"
Wang Ma wanted to comfort Ye Jiajia, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered a line from the book.
“I watched the young master grow up. No one knows him better than me. Miss Jiajia, don’t overthink it. The young master isn’t that kind of person.”
Zhang Xinru: "..."
What kind of nonsense is Wang Ma spouting? How did she end up saying the standard NPC dialogue?
Zhang Xinru asked in surprise, "Wang Ma, how many years have you been working for the young master?"
Without thinking, Wang Ma blurted out, "Four or five years, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xinru was speechless and couldn't help but complain, "I thought you were serving the young master when he was wearing diapers."
"The young master was already an adult four or five years ago. Where did you watch him grow up? It's impossible that the young master was this big when he was just born, right?"
"I...I...What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Ma hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.
Some complained that Zhang Ma was undermining her.
That's what the book says! Is it wrong for her to follow the book?
"Five years is enough to get to know a person. I've watched the young master grow up step by step over these five years!"
"Don't you agree, Miss Jiajia?"
Ye Jiajia nodded, bewildered. "That's true, but..."
Wang Ma interrupted her, "No buts. You are the first woman the young master has brought home. Before you, the young master had never smiled so happily at a woman."
Zhang Xinru felt that Wang Ma was really unbearable to watch. She couldn't remember a single word of what she was taught, but she could always say the NPCs' words correctly.
Ye Jiajia recalled that Dr. Zhao could freely enter and leave the villa and made a bold guess.
"Were you always with men before? Fu Xiaochen often smiles happily at men?"
Wang Ma was stunned. How could this be different from what was described in the novel? How was she supposed to continue the story?
"That can't be, young master doesn't like men."
It's strange to think about a man laughing at another man incessantly.
Zhang Xinru chuckled softly, her shoulders twitching as she hid behind her.
Ye Jiajia brought the topic back to its original point: "So, Fu Xiaochen has another woman on the side? Otherwise, why is he being so cold to me now?"
Wang Ma couldn't refute it; none of the things she had learned had been put to use.
She would never read the books that Zhang Ma bought for her again; she suspected that Zhang Ma was deliberately using her for amusement.
After Zhang Xinru finished laughing, she gave Ye Jiajia an idea.
"Miss Jiajia, don't think so much. Instead of overthinking, why don't you go and see for yourself tomorrow?"
Ye Jiajia's eyes flickered, and she hesitated.
"What if Fu Xiaochen won't let me go to the company with him?"
Zhang Xinru: "I didn't tell you to go openly, but to secretly follow him and see if he was busy with company matters or secretly looking for women."
Ye Jiajia thought it was a good idea. "You're right, we can secretly follow him tomorrow. Anyway, Fu Xiaochen already said he'd let me go out for a stroll..."
"Then it's settled. We'll go together tomorrow."
Before Zhang Xinru could refuse, Ye Jiajia had already left the restaurant, her steps light and carefree.
Zhang Xinru exclaimed from behind, "Hey, I didn't say I was going!"
"Three people going together would make the target too conspicuous!"
Aunt Wang was somewhat displeased: "Why am I included?"
"If it's your idea, you can go ahead and do it yourself. Why do I have to come along?"
Zhang Xinru patted Wang Ma on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and go, just treat it as a shopping trip."
"Also, you shouldn't read novels anymore; they're a bit too much for your brain."
If Wang Ma gets her salary docked by Fu Xiaochen because of a casual remark, it would be a huge loss.
Wang Ma shrugged off the hand that was on her shoulder, "If you don't want to look, then don't."
Zhang Xinru looked at the hand that had been flung away, and then reached out to it again.
Hey, that damned Wang Ma, I'm doing this for her own good by not letting her read novels, why is she getting so worked up?
At such an advanced age, he's still obsessed with novels.
