I Truly Only Have One Wife

No Need

Chapter 50

No Need

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fu felt that the probability of Xiao Die finding her birth mother was getting smaller and smaller. This Bai Jia Xiang seemed to have no interest in Xiao Die, not even asking which orphanage she was adopted from.
Chen Fu closed his eyes for a moment, then went downstairs to find Nan Jie, only to discover she was taking a shower.
He was currently at a crucial moment and didn't dare to act rashly, so when he heard the rushing water, he wanted to retreat. However, his mobile phone rang at that moment. It turned out Nan Jie had left her phone there.
Her new phone and Xiao Die's phone were both there; the sound came from Xiao Die's WeChat.
Chen Fu picked it up and looked. It was a message from Niu Bing Bing.
"Sister, you're amazing, I know everything!"
"It's a pity there were no surveillance cameras inside the private room. How did you kill a dozen opponents?!"
"Guess what I'm doing now?"
How would I know what you're doing? Chen Fu was wondering how to reply when Nan Jie walked out, wiping her powder-red hair dry. Fortunately, she was wearing clothes below her neck, which was good for Chen Fu and for a fresh start.
Nan Jie couldn't help but complain: "Chen Fu, if Bai Zi Tu can dye her hair like a courtesan, can I cut mine short?"
Chen Fu shook his head: "Of course not. Courtesan hair can be dyed black again, but short hair takes a long time to grow out."
"Oh, I can dye my hair again?" Nan Jie's spirit was stirred. Finally, she wouldn't have to endure this visual pollution.
"Of course you can," Chen Fu said with a smile: "But it's very troublesome for women to dye their hair; it takes about half a day."
"Ah!?" Nan Jie was surprised. Women were indeed troublesome creatures: "Then I might as well practice a bit more skill. When Xiao Die comes back, I'll have her dye it properly. Oh, what are you doing with my phone?"
"It's Xiao Die's phone, but it did find you." Chen Fu handed over the phone.
Looking at Niu Bing Bing's flattering words, Nan Jie smiled smugly and replied: "What are you doing?"
Niu Bing Bing seemed to have been prepared, immediately sending a video. She was, in fact, dyeing her hair! And it was the same powder-red style as Nan Jie's!
Nan Jie and Chen Fu exchanged glances: "Is her aesthetic not on point either?"
Chen Fu spoke up for Niu Bing Bing: "I guess Sister Bing Bing was afraid you'd be awkward alone, so she dyed it the same style to accompany you."
This explanation was relatively easy to accept. Nan Jie smiled slightly: "This Xiao Niu isn't bad. I can give her some pointers in the future."
Nan Jie casually opened Niu Bing Bing's profile picture and looked at her timeline, discovering that Niu Bing Bing was indeed the same kind of person as herself, immersed daily in her physical training, strengthening her power, seeing women as role models of self-improvement.
When she saw a clip of Nan Jie wrestling with men in the return cage, Nan Jie's eyes lit up: "Chen Fu, look at this empty room. Why don't we also make a return cage?"
"What would we do with that? Are you going to train me?!" Chen Fu's face turned pale with anger, and he quickly dismissed Nan Jie's idea: "You can get a membership card for Niu Bing Bing and train her. Don't try to train me."
Nan Jie said disdainfully: "A man, without any heroic spirit, so powerless."
With that, she tossed her long hair, intending to go upstairs.
Chen Fu followed, whispering in her ear: "Don't say such lacking-character words. After three more acupuncture sessions, I'll be unsealed. When my seal breaks, I'll show you if I have heroic spirit or not!"
A blush flashed across Nan Jie's face. She pretended to be tsundere, saying: "Go ahead and look. By then, you might not even be able to open my legs." Chen Fu chuckled: "You don't understand. By then, they'll open automatically without me needing to."
Nan Jie was still busy with physical training. Now, preparing to sleep, she went upstairs to take a look: "Oh, how exquisite. Is this Bai Zhi Hua's room?"
"The cat's nest is here, so this is Bai Miao Miao's room?"
"So many wax figures, this must be Bai Zi Tu's," Nan Jie walked out and asked: "Where's my room?"
"There's only one room left upstairs. First come, first served. Congratulations, you also have your own private space," Chen Fu reminded her: "But don't think about installing a return cage here."
"Then can I make a return cage-shaped bed?" Nan Jie's idea suddenly sparked.
Chen Fu also felt this idea was very interesting. If his relationship with Nan Jie could truly take another step, then he would fight with her on a return cage-shaped bed! Or sleep in a return cage that functions as a bed!
Tsk tsk, Chen Fu decided to help Nan Jie fulfill this wish: "Although I've never seen a return cage-shaped bed, I'm sure there's a place that can custom-make it. Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"
Nan Jie always felt Chen Fu was a bit strange. Why was he suddenly so eager, almost uneasy? But what did it matter? Before absolute power, all conspiracies were paper tigers!
"So, are we sleeping together now?" Nan Jie asked a bit cautiously.
Chen Fu picked up the acupuncture box: "Yes, let's go to the master bedroom."
He opened the acupuncture box, and first added a question for the unknown personality at the top. Although Old Man Wen Tai Qi had verified some ideas, there was one thing he forgot to ask.
"Hello, after three acupuncture sessions are complete, do I also need to pay attention to the frequency, and do I need to change long-standing habits to prevent a relapse?"
Chen Fu hoped for a negative answer, hoping he could indulge freely. Otherwise, if the frequency became once a week, or even once a month, what would be the point of the treatment?
Leaving the acupuncture box aside, Chen Fu leaned against the bed and started browsing the internet.
"Aren't you sleeping?" Nan Jie had her back to Chen Fu. In truth, she couldn't sleep either, but she was trying to make herself sleep, hoping that the divine doctor would appear soon.
"Oh, I'm checking to see what the follow-up reaction to this matter is tonight. They shouldn't be able to cause any trouble." Chen Fu checked Weibo and basically concluded that Du Hao's artistic career was greatly affected, but Luo Wen was not affected at all.
Chen Fu and Nan Jie, unable to sleep, discussed Luo Wen and Xiao Die's past and present lives.
"Her resentment towards Xiao Die stemmed from that adoption."
"This person truly deserves to be taught a lesson!" Nan Jie said angrily: "She was adopted, the benefits were clearly hers, so why blame others?"
"Presumably, she was worried Xiao Die would expose her image as a wealthy young lady," Chen Fu sighed: "Unfortunately, my influence in the entertainment industry is still relatively small. When this Prince turns his hand into clouds and covers his hand into rain, that will be the time she finds it difficult to take even half a step!"
Nan Jie was more direct: "Wouldn't it be better to put a sack over her head and ambush her with a stick? Are you still thinking that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years?"
"Sister, can my revenge focus a bit on strategy? Your way is harming the enemy by 800, harming yourself by 1000. If you get caught, Xiao Die will be the one going to jail for you."
"I won't get caught, I run fast," Nan Jie began to boast about her achievements again: "Before, I almost represented Tsinghua in the track and field events of the Sports Games. If I had participated then, I would definitely have broken records."
"Then why didn't you participate?"
"Xiao Die didn't dare. Her most effective way to get me out at that time was to drink alcohol, but after drinking, she didn't participate in any more sports competitions," Nan Jie helplessly clapped her hands: "So she didn't dare to take the risk."
Chen Fu: "So, during college physical examinations, Xiao Die always participated while drunk?"
"Not exactly, fortunately, there was no urine test segment~" In the darkness, Nan Jie luckily stuck out her tongue, but Chen Fu didn't see her fleeting cuteness.
Nan Jie was truly not tired. The two chatted until after midnight, and their topic gradually harmonized. Nan Jie had long heard that Chen Fu's father was a master of bone setting, and in her many campaigns of overcoming the strong with the weak, she often attacked the opponent's bones. She felt that the old man's techniques would be helpful to her and hoped to have the opportunity to learn from him.
Chen Fu indicated that he would take care of it. He couldn't bear it anymore, sighing repeatedly, and finally fell silent.
Nan Jie stared at Chen Fu's handsome face for a moment, then forced herself to fall asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed when her eyes opened again.
...
Early that morning, Chen Fu woke up earlier than Nan Jie. Seeing Nan Jie still with her eyes closed, the first thing he did was check the paper in the acupuncture box.
She replied, with only six words, but they brought great joy and peace of mind: "No need, just go for it!"
Chen Fu clenched his fist. I knew it, I really do have a good fundamental physique.
Now there were two acupuncture sessions left. After those two sessions, he would be a completely new man! By then, let alone one Xiao Die, even with the other personalities added, he wouldn't fear a rotation strategy!
Thinking about it, Chen Fu wrote down another line: "Thank you very much, how should I address you?"
Leaving the acupuncture box aside, Chen Fu went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, Nan Jie was also awake, rubbing her head: "I feel so tired."
Suddenly, she worriedly checked her underwear for a while. Fortunately, it hadn't been touched.
Chen Fu felt humiliated: "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, I'm willing but powerless right now!"
"Almost forgot about that root cause," Nan Jie mischievously whistled: "Come on, want to go for a run with Nan Jie?"
Chen Fu agreed. Although this wasn't a martial arts novel, he also hoped he could become stronger. When Xiao Die and the others were threatened by the human body, he would be their protector, and not just have Nan Jie as an option.
However, very quickly, Chen Fu realized how wrong his choice was.
He originally thought Nan Jie would just run a bit around the residential area, but she ran into the Summer Palace. This scene was even grander.
"Slow down!"
"I can't keep up!"
Chen Fu unheroically raised a white flag. A white flag wasn't a flag, so he couldn't raise a flag. Chen Fu could only raise a white flag.
Nan Jie maintained her running pace: "You sit here and don't go anywhere. I'll run a lap to you, then we'll go home."
Chen Fu watched Nan Jie's receding figure. Soon, people strolling around also sat down next to him, a young couple, looking like nearby high school students.
Among them, the long-haired girl said to another short-haired girl: "Wow, look, huge drama!"
"Who?"
"Luo Wen." "Who's that? I don't know her."
"But this drama is too shocking!"
Chen Fu's ears perked up like antennae, and he quickly caught the key information.
In summary, someone had leaked photos of Luo Wen's pregnant belly. The girl, nearly 22 years old, had already given birth, but she wasn't married!
The short-haired girl strangely said: "What kind of big drama is this? At least the child should be hers, isn't this something to praise?"
"You keep listening!" The long-haired girl slapped the short-haired girl's shoulder: "Online, someone also leaked intimate photos of Luo Wen and a middle-aged man, and this man is her father!"
"What!" The short-haired girl finally couldn't remain calm: "Does everyone know about this drama?"
"The photos were arranged here, posted at midnight. It's already this late, and Luo Wen still hasn't responded," the long-haired girl said, her face full of gossip.
The short-haired girl asked: "Who exactly is this person? I haven't heard much about her before."
"She's played a few supporting roles. Before, she almost played the supporting female lead in a script by the great author Wan Zi Tian, but then she was kicked out. At the time, it felt strange. I guess the investors had a premonition that she would cause a scandal. Fortunately, they didn't use her then; it wouldn't affect this film."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I have an impression..."
Chen Fu couldn't listen anymore and immediately went online himself. Sure enough, he saw this earth-shattering drama. This news was a bit challenging to moral boundaries.
However, very quickly, someone explained for Luo Wen's father, saying that the two had no blood relation; it was an adoptive relationship with a woman.
But this kind of explanation could not help this beast shirk responsibility at all. Just because she was adopted, did that mean she wasn't a daughter and he could do whatever he wanted?!
Seeing this news, Chen Fu felt no satisfaction after taking great revenge. Instead, a trace of pity for Luo Wen appeared, but even more, it was an immense fear.
If Xiao Die had been the one adopted back then, the consequences would truly be unimaginable. That Luo person could extend his demonic claws towards Luo Wen, and he would definitely extend his demonic claws towards Xiao Die!
Oh my god, Xiao Die had brushed past the gates of hell!
At this moment, Nan Jie and Chen Fu passed each other, then stopped: "Let's go, eat breakfast. You're fine for today. Tomorrow, you can gradually increase the amount... Why aren't you talking? You're in a bad mood."
Chen Fu told her Luo Wen's story. Nan Jie was indeed the embodiment of justice. Last night, she was still nitpicking Luo Wen, but now she used the tricky Northeastern dialect to curse the wealthy merchant who adopted her, and also expressed sympathy for Luo Wen.
"Perhaps, this is why she hated Xiao Die. Although it wasn't Xiao Die's original intention, in the end, she was the one who fell into the demonic lair," Chen Fu finally concluded.
This matter spread more and more seriously. Luo Wen, this 18th-tier actress, instantly became the central figure of entertainment industry gossip. Even legal columns could see news about their woman.
Luo Wen and her adoptive father, Luo Heng, naturally wanted to save themselves, but it was very difficult. Many technically powerful people had verified that the photos were real, presumably found on Luo Heng's own computer.
This was also a computer attacked by a hacker. With his habit of keeping important evidence on this computer, the other party must have even more of Luo Heng's weaknesses, so Luo Heng remained silent. By evening, this matter temporarily concluded with Luo Wen's mental illness relapsing and her entering a mental sanatorium. No one offered an explanation for this at the time.
Nan Jie's return cage bed already had many features, but it definitely couldn't be installed today, so she still slept with Chen Fu.
Chen Fu was looking forward to the acupuncture time. The second day, at dawn, he eagerly opened the acupuncture box, hoping to ask her name, as there was only one session left.
A paragraph was written on it: "Don't listen to her. I didn't appear last night. I only appeared at dawn today, so there are still two sessions left. Don't act rashly!"
