" Thanks for the ride," Song Yan got off the car with the take-out package, she turned to look at Fu Yu Sheng in the driver's seat, sitting with a sullen expression on his face. She pouted and said with a snicker, " You don't have to act as if I have made you face a loss, now do you?"
He turned his face slightly to his right and sighed. " You told me that you were hungry but then you went ahead and brought me to three restaurants before deciding that all you wanted was spicy stir-fried octopus and some beer, don't you think that you should have told me that before?"
"I would have but like I said the mind of a woman is complex," shrugged Song Yan, placing her hands on the window of the car and poking her head inside. " I can want Peking roasted duck one moment and ma po tofu the next, there is no way you can understand what's going on in the mind of a woman."
" There is no need to tell me that," said Fu Yu Sheng with a tired smile. " After trying to chase you for months, I can see that —— one moment you look at me like you want me back but then the next second you will turn around and abandon me, I can't even count how many times you have done that too."
Song Yan poked her tongue against her cheek as she smiled mockingly, " You abandoned me for eight years, it's only right if I make you understand how it feels when you are used and abandoned," she paused and then raised a brow. " Be glad that I didn't abandon you after bedding you and then taking off to another country without a word, all right?"
" Hah," Fu Yu Sheng let out a snort before turning to face the front. " If I didn't bed you, you would have complained and when I did, you are still complaining…" he turned to look at Song Yan before saying, " You are right, the mind of a woman is complex, I can't seem to understand you at all but if you can take as much time as you want, I …as your husband will wait for you."
" You sound like you are giving me a favour," said Song Yan before casting a sympathetic glance at Fu Yu Sheng. " You do realise that you have no choice but to wait, right?"
Fu Yu Sheng stared at her for a while before turning his head to look away. " Everyone has a choice Song Yan, I do have two choices as well, one is to wait for you and the——"
" And the other?" prodded Song Yan.
" To leave," he finished with a serious expression causing Song Yan's smile to drop slightly but she managed to slip it back on before Fu Yu Sheng can catch her, she smirked and said, " So are you telling me what great of favour you are doing by waiting for me?" Her face turned solemn as she stood up straight and sneered, " You don't have to if this is not want you what, you can get busy with all that important stuff that you have been putting on hold because of me, all right?"
He smiled. " That's why I said that I have two choices and I chose the first one, I am not doing a favour on you or anyone else. This is my decision."
Song Yan had to say that he was surprised enough to forget her anger momentarily before her lips curled into a sly smirk. " Well, since you have made one choice, I will give you another choice to make ." Catching Fu Yu Sheng's undivided attention she said, " When you go back home, your dear brother will ask your permission to marry a woman named Qi Genghis, he will make a fuss, even threaten you with his life after going on a hunger strike. Then you will have two choices," she raised her forefinger as she continued, " One —— you can relent and let the woman marry your brother but if you do that then I am afraid that all the hard work that you put to raise the Fu family back to its feet but if you don't want that then," she added another finger. " Then there is another choice, you can kick him out and let him face the adversities, let him know that he is nothing without the Fu family and before anyone else, he should put his family first,"
——
" Brother, you are finally here!" Fu Yu Sheng hardly entered Fu Yu Shen's room when he heard his brother scream as if he was being butchered. With a blaming expression on his face, Fu Yu Shen looked at his brother as he said, " Where were you, second brother? I swear I feel like it has been ages since I called you, why didn't you come as soon as you could?"
' This will be your only chance to teach your brother a good lesson, make sure to make the right choice.'
Fu Yu Sheng's eyes flashed before he walked inside the room and said lightly, " When was the last time you paid me, Yu Shen?"
" What?" asked Fu Yu Shen with a bemused expression.
Smiling at his brother with his hands behind his back, Fu Yu Sheng said, " The way you shouted at me was like you were ordering a subordinate, that's why I asked you when was the last time you gave me a salary for working as your subordinate?"
