Tang Zhou knew Fu Shen’s personality very well.
Those events in the dream were enough to let him know that Fu Shen wasn’t as harmless as he appeared to be.
Even if he hadn’t reported Tang Zhen, he believed that Fu Shen would be able to use his own capabilities to make Long Xin Real Estate temporarily give up its investment plans.
It’s not that he doesn’t want the people in the village to earn the demolition money, but Longxin is simply unreliable.
If he remembers correctly, in his dream, Fu Shen donated a lot of money to his hometown after he succeeded, and devoted himself to poverty alleviation projects in the countryside.
But he didn’t want Fu Shen to fight alone.
“I’ve always disliked Tang Zhen, so this happened to kill two birds with one stone.” Tang Zhou squeezed Fu Shen’s hand, not wanting him to feel guilty.
Could Fu Shen still not know him?
The fact that Tang Zhou had evidence to report Tang Zhen showed that he definitely knew a lot of Tang Zhen’s secrets, but he had never moved against Tang Zhen before, obviously waiting for a better opportunity.
But now it was wasted because of him.
“Losing a Tang Zhen doesn’t amount to much for the current Tang family, in terms of significant injury or impact.”
Fu Shen held Tang Zhou’s hand back, his eyes dark with regret.
“It’s not a big deal,” Tang Zhou was optimistic. “If Hua Yue wants to take off, some people will definitely become stepping stones.”
Fu Shen really liked his confident and domineering behavior, and couldn’t help but laugh, “What if the Tang and Du families teamed up?”
“Each has their own agenda,” Tang Zhou casually remarked, “too fragile.”
In Tang Zhou’s eyes, such an alliance wasn’t worth his attention.
Fu Shen smiled and praised, “Baby is so amazing.”
Tang Zhou moved slightly as if he was about to get up, but Fu Shen held him back. “You haven’t told me why you came to my room.”
With a burst of energy, it waned and then dwindled.
After chatting for a while, Tang Zhou’s momentum from bravely entering the room had completely disappeared. He quickly came up with an excuse, “I just wanted to ask when you’re going to find a companion for it.”
Fu Shen placed his palm on Tang Zhou’s lower back. “It’s not time yet.”
“Oh.” Tang Zhou just mentioned it casually, not insisting. “Then I’ll go back to my room.”
Even if Fu Shen wanted to keep him, he could only restrain himself, smiling as he let go of Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou held the little cat in his arms and took a few steps, but then turned back.
“I might be very busy in the next few months and will be away on business often.”
Fu Shen looked at him intently, “Okay.”
The Deep Blue project has also reached a critical stage, and Fu Shen has decided to devote himself entirely to it.
Tang Zhou pursed his lips, “I may not have time to take care of Deep Blue.”
“Don’t worry.” Fu Shen sat in a chair, his hands folded across his abdomen.
Tang Zhou couldn’t find a topic to talk about, so he had to turn his face away and say in a low voice, “Then I’ll go back to my room.”
“Baby.” Fu Shen called out softly.
Tang Zhou immediately turned around, his eyes as bright as morning stars.
“What’s wrong?”
Fu Shen stared at him for a long time before sighing slightly, “Rest early.”
“Oh.” Tang Zhou’s eyes drooped dejectedly.
Back in his own room, Tang Zhou lay on the bed, covering himself with the quilt for a while before finally emerging.
Something was wrong!
Even before he and Fu Shen started dating, they could sleep on the same bed. Why couldn’t they do that now when they were in a relationship?
Why?

Tang Zhou was about to get up and storm over there when his phone rang.
Lf tegglfv ab atf cfza gbbw jcv jcrkfgfv la jyrfcawlcvfvis.

“Hmm.”
“After the divorce, I’ll take Xiaoxue abroad,” Zheng Qiuyi paused, and said cautiously, “Before I leave, can we have a meal together? I’ll cook it myself.”
Tang Zhou replied indifferently, “There’s no need for that.”
She hadn’t personally cooked in many years, so why bother now?
She could leave, and even if they never saw each other again for the rest of their lives, he wouldn’t care.
Tang Zhou tightened his grip on the phone, his eyelashes noticeably trembling.
The mother and son remained silent for a long time. But then, Zheng Qiuyi spoke again, “I know you don’t want to see me, but I have something to ask of you.”
Tang Zhou was about to refuse when he heard Zheng Qiuyi say, “First, listen to me.”
He suppressed his impatience.
“After I go abroad, my domestic businesses need someone to manage them. I don’t trust anyone else, and upon much consideration, I think only you are the most suitable.”
“I don’t have time.”
Zheng Qiuyi continued in a gentle voice, “It’s mainly some charitable work. There are many orphaned children involved, and they are still very young. If the operating mechanism is disrupted by malicious individuals, they might not even have enough to eat.”
Tang Zhou found it ironic.
“It has nothing to do with me.”
“I know that child you’re with used to have a tough life. If only there had been…”
“He doesn’t need it.” Fu Shen can make a living on his own.
Tang Zhou decisively hung up the phone.
He sat on the edge of the bed, with Zheng Qiuyi’s last words echoing over and over in his head.
He had to admit she had hit a soft spot.
Fu Shen’s past had always made Tang Zhou feel distressed. If only someone could have helped Fu Shen back then, wouldn’t he have had a less difficult life?
A child who had just started junior high school, working and studying at the same time, was a hardship and helplessness Tang Zhou couldn’t begin to imagine.
However, even so, Tang Zhou had no intention of agreeing to Zheng Qiuyi’s request.
He could only see one person: Fu Shen.
Besides, there are countless ways to do charity, so he didn’t need to take over Zheng Qiuyi’s businesses. He understood that Zheng Qiuyi wanted to make amends, but he refused.
Interestingly, Zheng Qiuyi chose to divorce at this particular time, neither earlier nor later.
Tang Zhen’s situation didn’t affect Tang Tianyang’s engagement date. Zheng Qiuyi’s choice to divorce Tang Zhen before Tang Tianyang’s engagement was either a coincidence or intentional.
Tang Zhou was more inclined towards the latter.
And he guessed it right.
Just the day before Tang Tianyang’s engagement, Tang Zhen received a court notice.
Tang Zhen’s first reaction was surprise. As long as he divorced Zheng Qiuyi, he could marry the person he liked, and Tang Tianyang would be able to tear off the label of being an illegitimate child.
But a divorce that goes to court always leaves a stain on your reputation.
Tang Zhen would rather have a divorce agreement.
Of course, things didn’t go his way. Zheng Qiuyi simply refused to answer his calls.
As a result, Tang Tianyang’s engagement party was postponed.
Tang Tianyang and his mother believed that once Tang Zhen and Zheng Qiuyi divorced, they would become legitimate members of the Tang family, and marrying into the Du family as a legitimate son would be more appropriate.
Elder Tang didn’t want to cause a divorce scandal – in the eyes of people like him, infidelity was normal, but divorce was shameful.
Especially a divorce that goes to court.
But he couldn’t control Zheng Qiuyi, so he had to hire a team of lawyers for Tang Zhen.
The news of Tang Zhen and Zheng Qiuyi’s divorce spread throughout the social circles in an instant.
Behind closed doors, many criticized Zheng Qiuyi, saying she was being foolish.
Her son is already grown up, and after enduring for so many years, why bother to make such a scene now? She must be just full and bored.
When the news reached Fu Shen’s ears, his fingers trembled as he touched the keyboard.
Physically, he still was at Deep Blue, but emotionally he had already flown to Hua Yue.
No wonder Tang Zhou has been in a bad mood these past few days; it’s because of his parents’ divorce?
After some thought, he sent a message.
Fu Shen：【Would you like steamed fish or sweet and sour fish for dinner?】
Tang Zhou：【I still have to work overtime.】
Fu Shen：【It’s been a long time since we had dinner together. Would you mind just keeping me company?】
Tang Zhou：【Good!】
Once the two of them fall into workaholic mode, even if they live under the same roof, they rarely see each other.
Right now, they’re indispensable for Deep Blue and Hua Yue. The slightest slack could result in unnecessary losses.
But in Fu Shen’s heart, Tang Zhou’s feelings are more important than work.
Tang Zhou came home from work, and as soon as he entered the hallway, he smelled the fragrance of the meal. Immediately, his stomach rumbled.
He changed his shoes and ran to the kitchen, where he saw Fu Shen bending over to clean the sink. He hugged him from behind and rubbed against his broad back, squinting his eyes and saying, “It smells so good.”
Having a home and someone by his side was a happiness he had never felt before.
“Are you hungry? The meal is ready.” Fu Shen washed his hands, turned around, and kissed Tang Zhou on the forehead, his eyes gentle and focused.
Tang Zhou let go of him. “Why did you suddenly get off work so early today?”
Fu Shen sighed deliberately. “Someone is in a bad mood, and they’re hiding it from me.”
“I’m not in a bad mood,” Tang Zhou muttered. “Did you hear something?”
Fu Shen curled his finger and tapped him on the bridge of his nose, “You tell me.”
“Their divorce has nothing to do with me,” Tang Zhou frowned. “I’m not like this because of them.”
“What is it then?”
“I have to go on a business trip, and I’ll probably be back in half a month.” Tang Zhou looked up at him. “Half a month is a long time.”
Before he met Fu Shen, he didn’t know that he would be so clingy one day.
Fu Shen felt a pang of loss in his heart when he heard this. He barely managed to suppress his reluctance and said in a warm voice, “Once everything gets back on track, it won’t be like this anymore.”
Then, he turned around, “Let’s eat first.”
Tang Zhou thought that since they were going to be apart for half a month, he’d definitely spend a night with him no matter what.
After dinner, the two of them went back to their respective rooms to deal with their work. At 9 pm, Tang Zhou washed himself clean and knocked on Fu Shen’s door.
Fu Shen opened the door, his hair completely wet. It was obvious that he had just finished showering.
“What’s wrong?”
Tang Zhou held the kitten up to him. “Xiaobai said he wants to come find you to chat.”
Fu Shen laughed. “Come in.”
Tang Zhou sat cross-legged on Fu Shen’s bed, Xiaobai resting in his lap.
He was wearing short pajamas, showing his pale and slender legs. Against the dark bed sheets, they shone even brighter.
His cheeks and neck were still faintly pink after taking a shower, like cherry blossoms in spring, particularly tempting.
Fu Shen’s movements became slower and slower as he wiped his hair, and in the end, he simply gave up and threw the towel over the chair, his eyes deep and bright.
“What does Xiaobai want to say to me?”
Tang Zhou didn’t dodge. “Xiaobai said it felt too lonely sleeping alone.”
Fu Shen: “So?”
“So it needs to find a companion to sleep with.”
Fu Shen gripped the back of the chair with one hand, “Really? Do you want to sleep together?”
Tang Zhou nodded. “It’s not like we haven’t slept together before.”
They slept well at the Lishan Hotel.
Fu Shen seemed to have also thought of that time, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Okay.”
Tang Zhou lay down, holding Xiaobai in his arms. the air-conditioned quilt resting on his stomach, failing to cover those legs.
“You sleep first,” Fu Shen turned and sat down in the chair. “I still have some things to do.”
Tang Zhou sat up with a start. “Fu Shen!”
His voice sounded both angry and aggrieved.
Fu Shen’s heart twisted, and he quickly turned around. “What’s wrong?”
“Are you going to sleep or not?!”
Fu Shen didn’t dare refuse anymore. He quickly lay down on the other side, embracing the man in his arms.
“Sleep, I’ll sleep.”
As a result, the range of movement was a bit too big, and while moving, Tang Zhou’s leg accidentally touched something he shouldn’t have.
His face suddenly burned.
He didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly, “It’s not uncomfortable?”
Fu Shen turned off the lights, and his voice was particularly low and hoarse. “It’s not uncomfortable.”
Tang Zhou: “……”
Fu Shen patted his back. “You’re going on a business trip tomorrow. Go to bed early.”
Tang Zhou said in a muffled voice, “I’ll send you a video.”
“Okay.”
“You have to send me one too.”
“Okay.”
“Mwah.”
Tang Zhou kissed his cheek. “Good night kiss.”
Fu Shen smiled slightly. “Good night.”
The comforting scent enveloped Tang Zhou, and he gradually fell asleep to the sound of the light breathing of the person next to him.
Fu Shen held him.
He didn’t sleep that night.
