Rose Manor

Fu Jichen went back to his room and took a hot shower. He had been taking a cold shower last night. The September night was still a bit cold. He felt that his throat was uncomfortable and he had slight nasal congestion, which was a precursor to a cold.

Not planning to go to the company in the morning, Fu Jichen put on his home clothes and went to Shen Jianian's room.

Shen Jianian felt depressed in the quilt for a long time, constantly reflecting on his behavior last night, but in the end he didn't come up with a result and simply got up.

However, when she lifted the quilt and found Fu Jichen in her room, she finally couldn't help but scream: "You...why are you still here?!"

Fu Jichen pointed to the medicine kit he had used last night on the coffee table and said seriously: "Come here to get some cold medicine."

In order to prove that he was not lying, Fu Jichen opened the medicine box, found cold medicine, took one out and put it in his mouth. He couldn't find pure water, so he picked up Shen Jianian's cup. There was half a cup of cold water in it, which was probably leftover from last night. , he took a sip, swallowed the medicine, took out two more anti-inflammatory pills and took them.

Shen Jianian's eyes widened, that cup belonged to her, how could he use it so easily!

Fu Jichen put the cup back and didn't disturb her again: "After you've packed up, go downstairs for breakfast."

It's past nine o'clock. If we keep procrastinating, we can have lunch.

Fu Jichen went downstairs first. He didn't have a good rest all night and was tortured repeatedly by drugs. His face didn't look good and his mental state was average.

Cheng Jin saw that he looked "dejected" and hesitated to speak. I understand that he and Jia Nian have been separated for three years, and they are finally as sweet as ever. He may not be able to control himself. He is so tired, not to mention Jia Nian's small body. It is estimated that he will have to rest for a whole day to recover.

Originally, she wanted to persuade her husband to exercise some restraint, but Cheng Jin had been thinking about it for a long time and could not make the decision. Jia Nian lost his memory and could not remember his husband. Some time ago, he and he were in a state of incompatibility. He must have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Sir, would you like to have breakfast now?" Cheng Jin did not say anything out of line.

Fu Jichen rubbed his eyebrows and hummed, then poured a cup of hot water and brought it to the restaurant.

Cheng Jin went to the kitchen to heat up a box of fried dumplings, filled a bowl of porridge with a plate of pickled beans, and put it on the dining table: "Jianian hasn't gotten up yet?"

Fu Jichen picked up the spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl twice: "Get up, come down later."

Maybe she was too embarrassed to face her and chose to hide upstairs instead of coming down.

It doesn't matter. When he finishes eating, he can just serve breakfast to her.

Fu Jichen drank the porridge slowly and said to Cheng Jin casually: "I don't like preserved eggs. Don't cook preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the future."

Cheng Jin said "Oh" and added, "It was Jia Nian who said yesterday that she wanted to eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

Fu Jichen was startled and changed his mind: "Forget it, let's continue cooking from now on." He knew Shen Jianian's taste relatively well and had never heard her mention that she liked this kind of porridge.

Cheng Jin pursed his lips and smiled, then agreed.

The doorbell rang. Cheng Jin went out from the restaurant and pressed the answer button on the video doorbell. The doorman said that a gentleman named Pei Che came to visit Mr. Fu.

Cheng Jin couldn't make the decision, so he said "wait a moment" and went to ask Fu Jichen: "Sir, a gentleman named Pei Che came outside the door and said he came to visit you."

Fu Jichen paused, finished the last bite of fried dumplings, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Let him in."

What is supposed to come will come, sooner or later.

Fu Jichen sat in the living room and told Cheng Jin to make a pot of tea. After a while, Pei Che came over. He was much thinner than when he saw him last month. It can be imagined that he has not been doing well during this period of time.

Pei Che looked at Fu Jichen expressionlessly, holding a file bag in his hand and throwing it on the coffee table. The first thing he said was: "Where is Xiaonian?"

Fu Jichen glanced at the thick file bag and couldn't tell what was inside. He raised his chin and said politely and thoughtfully, "Please sit down."

Pei Che's eyes were cold. The Fu Jichen in front of him was completely different from the ruthless one. He was pretending to be a gentleman here.

"Let me ask you, where is Xiao Nian?" Pei Che sat down and kept Shen Jianian in mind every word.

"She is very good here." Fu Jichen said the truth.

He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Pei Che, and said quietly: "The last time I took action, I was impulsive and lacked consideration. In fact, I should thank you for saving her."

Pei Che didn't drink the tea he poured. In his opinion, Fu Jichen was completely hypocritical: "I want to see Xiao Nian." He had to see it with his own eyes to know whether she was really good.

His mother advised him to take care of himself first, saying that Xiao Nian would not be in danger with Fu Jichen. After suffering for so many days, he came to see her non-stop when he was almost recovered from his injuries, not wanting to wait any longer. "What are you doing seeing her?" Fu Jichen said, "I made it very clear that day that she is mine, and I can't let her go. It doesn't matter if she forgets me now, I am confident that she will fall in love with me again .As for you, it’s over between you a long time ago, I thought you understood this three years ago.”

Pei Che clenched his fists, picked up the file bag on the coffee table and threw it at Fu Jichen: "Don't you want to know her medical records? In the past three years, every treatment process of hers is here." He sneered, "You do Should know.”

The few words he told on the phone last time were not enough to summarize the suffering Shen Jia Nian had suffered in the past three years. He didn't want to reveal so much to Fu Jichen, but later he figured it out. Only when Fu Jichen knew some things more clearly could he understand what he was leading. What I want to read to Shen Jia is whether the joy is greater than the pain, or the pain is greater than the joy.

The file bag contains hospitalization records, operation consent forms, anesthesia consent forms, operation records, anesthesia records, pathology reports, test reports, etc. There are even things like body temperature sheets and informed consent forms for blood transfusion treatment, all in detail.

He had signed all the consent forms that needed to be signed, and it was easy for him to get them.

Fu Jichen held the file bag with one hand and his breathing suddenly became heavier.

When Pei Che smashed the file bag over just now, he could feel the heavy weight. He hasn't read it yet, but he knows that every piece of paper in it contains the injuries Shen Jia Nian has suffered. It's such a thick stack, and she has experienced it personally.

Pei Che experienced it by staying with her.

Pei Che asked one last time: "Where is she?"

"Rest upstairs." Fu Jichen had no intention of stopping Pei Che from seeing Shen Jia Nian, "Aunt Cheng, go see if she is awake and tell her truthfully that Mr. Pei wants to see her."

Pei Che swallowed a gulp of air. He came here today. He was willing to risk everything. He didn't want to hide anything anymore. He decided to tell Xiao Nian everything.

No matter what the consequences were, he was willing to bear them.

On the third floor, after Fu Jichen left, Shen Jia Nian went to the bathroom to take a shower and put on a comfortable cotton skirt, but did not go down to have breakfast. Fu Jichen guessed it correctly, and Shen Jia Nian didn't want to face him, so she hid in the room and let her mind wander to the scenery outside the window.

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Jianian looked away.

Cheng Jin opened the door, always with a kind smile on his face: "Jianian, you're awake, I thought you were still sleeping. There is Mr. Pei downstairs who wants to see you, and he asked me to come up and call you."

Shen Jia Nian was stunned and whispered: "Mr. Pei?"

Cheng Jin said: "Yes, Mr. Pei Che Pei."

Shen Jianian's expression was complicated, with surprise, joy, panic, guilt, and even a little overwhelmed mixed on his face.

"Jia Nian?" Cheng Jin thought her expression was a little strange.

Shen Jianian shook his head and wanted to say it was nothing, but didn't say it. Her heart was beating wildly and she didn't know how she got downstairs. The moment she saw Pei Che in the living room, she felt as if she was in another world.

Pei Che stood up and looked at her, gently twitching the corners of his lips and giving her a faint smile, with an imperceptible bitterness in the smile.

Just like that day when Bai Changxia came to see Shen Jia Nian, Fu Jichen chose to avoid it. It was the same today. He stood up with the weighty portfolio, passed by Shen Jia Nian, and paused slightly: "Eat breakfast first."

Before Shen Jia Nian could respond, Fu Jichen turned away and walked upstairs.

Cheng Jin went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Shen Jianian.

The fragrance of tea lingered in the living room, and Shen Jianian approached Pei Che step by step. She felt timid for no reason, similar to the timidity of being close to home.

"I'm sorry for coming to you so late." Pei Che spoke first, "Are you okay? Xiao Nian."

Shen Jia Nian's eyes were red. She couldn't tell whether it was grievance or something else. In short, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, as if she was being pulled or stirred, and she could not speak for a long time.

Pei Che had eyes and could see for himself. Her face seemed a little rounder than before. He glanced at her neck and suddenly paused. There were two very dark marks there, which were very dazzling against the fair skin, like yes……

Pei Che couldn't deceive himself that it was a mosquito bite. He was an adult, not a three-year-old child.

  Fu Jichen took the file bag to the study room, bypassed the white cotton thread wrapped around the seal, and pulled out a thick pile of information, all of which were photocopies. Pei Che's name was signed where the signature should be, and a red seal was stamped where the seal should be.

He looked at them one by one, and suddenly, a piece of paper floated to the ground.

Fu Jichen bent down to pick it up and read clearly the words on it - Informed Consent Form for Artificial Abortion. As if Tian Ling Gai had been struck by lightning, he rummaged through the lists at the back like crazy.

Soon, he pulled out the one he was looking for, the report Shen Jia Nian had for her first examination when she was admitted to the hospital after a car accident. It showed that she was seven weeks pregnant.
