Chapter 158 -158: Who’s Afraid… Who’s Afraid?

“Do you need me to help you?” Because she was close, she could smell the mature scent of a man on him, as well as a faint aroma of alcohol.

Fu Chengzhou looked down at her. “Wife, when I said I wanted to come back earlier, why did you refuse?”

Li Xingwan: “…”

Why suddenly bring that up?

“What are you afraid of?” Fu Chengzhou suddenly found it somewhat amusing as he leaned in close to her face.

Afraid? What was there to be afraid of?

Was it not just a lack of understanding about marital relations?

Especially with a man who wore Buddha Beads.

Li Xingwan’s tongue tied in a knot. “Who’s afraid… who’s scared.”

“That’s good then.”

“…”

“I’ll help you back to the room.” Li Xingwan, fearing that Fu Chengzhou was drunk, immediately took his arm and guided him toward the bedroom.

In truth, the alcohol was not enough to make Fu Chengzhou, a man who was all-powerful in the business world, drunk. Although not just anyone would dare to toast with him, he had a decent tolerance for alcohol.

However, he did not refuse Li Xingwan’s help, and followed her back to the bedroom. There always seemed to be a sense of taboo whenever they were alone in the room together.

So, after closing the door, Li Xingwan quickly took Fu Chengzhou over to the sink. Ever since he had come back home, his toiletries had appeared in the house.

“Let’s wash up first.”

Both of them went to the washstand. For a moment, Li Xingwan was worried that Fu Chengzhou was truly drunk and wouldn’t be able to do things like squeeze the toothpaste. She had him stand behind her, took a toothbrush, squeezed the toothpaste onto it for him, then handed it to him. She also squeezed some onto her own brush.

The two stood one in front of the other, brushing their teeth in front of the mirror. Fu Chengzhou cooperated with her the entire time, standing behind her.

Normally, this would be nothing unusual. However, looking in the mirror, seeing the post-alcohol Fu Chengzhou standing behind her, exuding a strong male presence and mirroring her movements, still made her heart skip a couple of beats.

“Your cup,” she said, trying to make conversation as she handed him the cup.

Fu Chengzhou took the cup and casually asked her, “You don’t seem to get along with that woman?”

The woman he referred to was Chu Youxuan. Since he did not follow the entertainment industry, he did not recognize Chu Youxuan.

He simply called her “that woman.”

This made Li Xingwan’s lips curl into a smile, looking quite pleased. “Right! You’re absolutely correct! She is ‘that woman’!”

Touted as an actress of superior talent, versatile in every aspect, outclassing a host of other artists to become a celebrated queen of the screen.

All achieved by stepping over the original owner of this body, climbing up by trampling on her blood and tears.

Without her as a dark contrast, where would Chu Youxuan be?

Back then, the company went out of their way to promote Chu Youxuan, who had slept with them, squeezing every drop they could from the original owner until she was drained dry.

Eventually, they kicked her out of the circle.

“Do you have a grudge?” Fu Chengzhou inquired further.

“Not really.” Li Xingwan didn’t immediately admit it. After all, Chu Youxuan couldn’t cause her any trouble now. Just her performance on the variety shows alone, not making herself look bad was already good enough.

Who would dare to trample on her now?

“It’s not exactly a grudge.”

Seeing the prideful smile on her face, Fu Chengzhou didn’t ask anymore. Standing behind her, they were very close to each other.

“Are you going to take a shower now?” Li Xingwan, after finishing washing up, saw two bottles of red wine on the table. Without overthinking, she glanced at the time. “I’ll fetch you pajamas.”

Fu Chengzhou didn’t refuse, but he also showed no intention of immediately heading to the shower. Instead, he pulled Li Xingwan into his arms with one hand. “Wait a moment.”

“Hm? What’s wrong?” Li Xingwan’s mind became muddled. He wasn’t going to proceed with this and that after drinking, was he?
