Chapter 52 - How Could They Sleep In Separate Rooms?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since he took Wu Wei’s statement and got in touch with Lin Bin, He Feng suddenly became very busy.

Although they lived under the same roof, Fang Ya almost did not see He Feng for two or three days in a row.

He Peng would occasionally send a message on behalf of He Feng, but the bottom line was that he could not go home today, but do not worry about him.

Shao Xiang had been allowed to leave the hospital. Fang Ya planned to bring her over to live with them, but was stopped by Wu Wei.

Wu Wei wanted to bring his mother over to take care of her, so Shao Xiang accepted it gladly.

Fang Ya knew that this was Shao Xiang’s biggest wish, so she did not say anything more.

The days seemed to have returned to how they were a few months ago.

Fang Ya went back to work at the neighborhood committee every day, and after work, she went home to take care of her two children.

Although the days were dull, they were stable.

The large woman came over every now and then to gossip and share the latest news.

Fang Ya always listened quietly and occasionally recalled the memories of her previous life.

For Fang Ya, perhaps her previous life had been too bitter, and a scar had settled in her heart.

She did not remember every single detail of He Feng’s subsequent cases, but at times memories did resurface and she could recall just enough details to help out.

Fang Ya had no way to explain these things to He Feng, but she wanted to use her own strength to help He Feng.

She knew that He Feng was a very good person to rely on.

Even if he turned out different from how she remembered him in her past life, this version of He Feng gave Fang Ya a sufficient sense of security.

Women were actually very simple. They did not need much, but they would be satisfied with just enough.

With Wang Xu’s help, Fang Ya’s work in the neighborhood committee seemed to have decreased a lot.

Occasionally, when a few women gathered together to chat, Fang Ya would also listen to them for a while.

“I heard that a big corrupt official in the city was arrested!” Aunt Li, who lived nearby, ran to the neighborhood committee to drink tea and chat.

Sister Niu also came forward. “I heard it too! It’s all in the newspapers!”

“I read it, but it didn’t say anything!” Wang Xu said with some annoyance.

“It didn’t say anything. It must be something big!” Sister Niu said firmly.

“I heard that Captain He and his team were the ones who caught him!” Wang Xu turned to look at Fang Ya. “Sister Ya, do you know the inside story?”

Fang Ya turned to look at them and shook her head with a smile.

Wang Xu pouted. “Sister Ya, you really wasted such a good resource!”

Sister Niu could not help but complain, “That Li Tong who comes to look for you every day hasn’t revealed any insider information!”

When Wang Xu heard that, his face immediately turned red. “He’s not here to look for me every day! He’s clearly here to deliver the materials!”

“Oh that’s right! There are so many materials being delivered to us every day! Is our neighborhood committee the superior department of their detective squad?” Sister Niu ridiculed them.

Wang Xu’s face became even redder. “How would I know how why they have so many materials?!”

Seeing Wang Xu’s somewhat embarrassed look, everyone could not help but laugh.

Li Tong used various reasons to run to the neighborhood committee every day and tailed behind Wang Xu every day. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what the young man’s intentions were.

Li Tong, that silly boy, did not know how to speak either, so he could only come every day to wait for an opportunity.

Unfortunately, Wang Xu was not having any of it and refused to give the other party a chance.

The people beside them looked anxious, but the two youths seemed to be enjoying the current atmosphere.

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu and Li Tong’s interactions and occasionally thought of herself and He Feng.

The two of them had always been calm and peaceful. Even if they were husband and wife, their friends were probably the most ordinary kind of folk.

Fang Ya did not expect to be brought into anything magnificent. She only believed that everything was fine as it was.

Although Fang Ya thought so, others did not necessarily think so.

When the large woman heard from He Peng that He Feng slept in He Peng’s room every day, she immediately grew indignant and wanted to seek an explanation from He Feng.

However, He Feng was truly too busy, so the large woman could only persuade Fang Ya patiently.

“You can’t live like this!” The large woman clasped Fang Ya’s hand and said.

“How could a couple sleep in separate rooms for this long?!” The large woman could not help but nag.

“Don’t blame me for gossiping! In the end, this man was introduced to you by yours truly! If you don’t end up pleased with it, I will…” the large woman said, her face full of guilt.

Seeing this, Fang Ya quickly comforted her, “Please don’t worry, He Feng is fine!”

“We just…” Fang Ya did not know how to explain it, so she faltered.

“If you are too embarrassed to speak, why don’t I talk to He Feng?” The large woman quickly spoke up.

“Don’t!” Fang Ya immediately refused her. “I want to wait a little longer!”

Although the large woman did not agree, she knew that this was a matter between husband and wife.

She sighed and said, “If you have any problems, you must tell me. I will definitely help you!”

Fang Ya looked at the large woman who was genuinely worried about her, and a grateful smile appeared on her face..
