However, Xu Tingyu really didn't dare to leave.
It wasn't for any other reason. She simply knew that if she dared to leave, that man would surely chase after her.
She couldn't even imagine that scene.
Anyway, she had to stay no matter what. So she might as well wait for him to finish taking a shower first.
Thinking this way, she took out her phone again and replied to a few messages.
Just then, some people in the work group were arguing about work issues, so she watched for a while.
Just as she was engrossed in watching, a loud noise suddenly came from the bathroom.
Xu Tingyu instinctively turned to look and saw that Qi Shifeng had fallen.
That loud noise just now was the sound of him falling to the ground.
Not only did he fall, but he also didn't get up for a long time.
Without thinking too much, Xu Tingyu immediately threw down her phone and ran into the bathroom.
The man was sitting under the shower head with his head down, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
Xu Tingyu approached carefully and squatted down, trying not to touch him at all for fear of causing him more serious injuries.
"Qi Shifeng, can you hear me? How do you feel?"
She turned off the water and called his name again and again.
She didn't know how long had passed. Just when she thought the man had really fainted from the fall and was about to go out to call someone, he grabbed her hand.
The man raised his head. It was hard to tell whether the drops on his face were water or tears.
"Wife, why don't you want me anymore?"
Why was he still so persistent about this question even in this state?
Xu Tingyu was helpless and didn't answer directly. Instead, she continued to ask, "Where did you fall just now? Where does it hurt now?"
Was this man having bad luck recently? Why did he always get injured?
But Qi Shifeng shook his head. "My body doesn't hurt. My heart hurts."
Here he goes again.
She had to help him up first, then turned on the shower head to rinse him off quickly. After that, she went to get a bathrobe and put it on him.
"Go to bed first."
Her clothes were also completely soaked.
Although it wasn't cold yet, she couldn't wear wet clothes, or she would definitely catch a cold.
Fortunately, her suitcase was downstairs and there were spare clothes in it.
She pushed Qi Shifeng back to the bedroom and then wanted to go downstairs to get her clothes.
But Qi Shifeng was very clingy to her. "Go together."
"I'm going downstairs to get my clothes. What do you want to go for? You should go and rest obediently now."
Xu Tingyu shook off his hand.
But the next second, the man clung to her again. "Do you find me annoying?"
Annoyed? Of course she was.
But she couldn't say this. If she did, he would probably be even more annoying.
Xu Tingyu had to compromise. "I'm just going to get my clothes and take a shower. If you don't want to sleep, go and dry your hair."
"There are clothes here."
But he still wouldn't let her go and directly took her to the cloakroom.
It was exactly the same as when she left all those years ago. Her clothes were still neatly placed there.
Moreover, there were many new clothes with the price tags still on them.
"You?"
Xu Tingyu frowned.
Who bought these new clothes? Could it be him?
"I bought them after you came back."
Qi Shifeng seemed to see her confusion. The man who had seemed a bit delirious just now was very clear when explaining.
They were really the latest styles and all in her size.
She had no idea when this man had done all this.
"You really don't have to do this."
Xu Tingyu didn't look at those clothes any more. Instead, she took some clothes she had worn before and then turned around.
"Qi Shifeng, I can buy clothes for myself now."
After saying that, she strode back to the bathroom and closed the door tightly, locking it from the inside.
Qi Shifeng was left in the cloakroom. A flash of pain passed through his eyes.
She had once again told him firmly that she didn't need him anymore.
When Xu Tingyu entered the bathroom, her mood was also complicated.
To be honest, Qi Shifeng really wasn't a perfect husband before.
At least, he couldn't be like the husbands in the stories, buying clothes and bags for his wife and spending money to make her happy.
He was too busy. He was so busy that he could hardly take care of anything other than work.
All his clothes and accessories were not chosen by himself.
Before each season change every year, the brands he wore would send the latest ready - made clothes to his home.
Before they got married, his life assistant arranged all these for him.
After they got married, this task was handed over to Xu Tingyu.
And the brands he wore didn't have women's clothing.
Of course, even if they did, he wouldn't think of these things.
At that time, Xu Tingyu always bought her own clothes.
At that time, she was also a rich girl with a sufficient personal savings. Moreover, when she was performing all over the world before, the girls would go shopping together.
She had always kept a good figure and had good taste, so the clothes she had bought many years ago were still in style.
So Qi Shifeng had never bought a single piece of clothing for her on his own initiative.
Later, she used all her savings to support the Xu family, so she didn't like to go shopping very much.
Qi Shifeng once asked her, "You've worn this dress three times recently."
At that time, she couldn't very well say that she hadn't bought any new clothes that year, so she just smiled and said, "Really? I just think it's nice and comfortable."
Fortunately, Qi Shifeng didn't think much about it. It seemed that he was just asking casually.
After that, when the Xu family went bankrupt, when she took things out to sell, there were very few clothes.
Most of her clothes were old - fashioned. Ordinary people couldn't tell, but the second - hand stores were very shrewd.
Later, when she was pregnant, Qi Shifeng gave her his card and transferred money to her on time.
She never used that money to buy clothes.
She had a kind of pride deep in her bones, her own kind of persistence.
Fortunately, all that was in the past. Now she had enough ability to dress herself up and didn't need anyone to do these things for her.
Especially her ex - husband.
While she was recalling these things, Qi Shifeng opened the safe in the cloakroom.
There was a crown inside, which he had just auctioned back. It was very beautiful and matched her very well.
It had been in his safe for some time, but he didn't know how to give it to her.
She rarely accepted his things, and now she was even more clear - cut with him.
He stared at the crown for a long time and finally closed the safe again.
He thought that he should have left it with Youyou. It would have been better to give it to her in the name of their son when Youyou gave her a gift than to "have it stuck" in his hands.
He changed into his pajamas. After thinking for a while, he undid a few buttons, looking very charming.
Then he put on that dazed and drunken look again and sat on the edge of the bed.
He wasn't the kind of person who would give up easily. Moreover, he could tell that Xu Tingyu still cared about him and there was still a place for him in her heart.
It seemed that she really did respond better to soft approaches than tough ones. His method of showing weakness and acting pitiful had worked.
He had to keep it up and get his wife back as soon as possible.
When the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, he looked down at his pajamas and then reached out to adjust them. Seemingly casually, he actually exposed more of his muscles.
