Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1059 - 1048: The Stepmother Lacks Kindness

"He’s inside. Do you want to go in now or wait for him outside?" Fu Lei led Ye Qiu to the door of a laboratory.

Ye Qiu hesitated a bit and said, "I better wait for him outside. What if I disturb him when he’s busy inside?"

"He shouldn’t be busy at this time; you won’t be disturbing him." Fu Lei pushed the door open and Ye Qiu followed behind him.

"Why are you here?" Even though Ye Qiu was walking behind, her bright yellow outfit made her stand out, so Fang Bingwen noticed her immediately.

"Am I disturbing you?" Ye Qiu stood still, her tone and demeanor very cautious.

Once he finally saw Fu Lei and noticed his slightly puzzled look, Fang Bingwen realized his tone was off: "No, I just meant weren’t you waiting for me at home?"

"I was a bit bored alone, so I came to the university for a walk. If you don’t like it, I won’t come next time." Ye Qiu said, feeling a bit hurt.

"This is a university, not a guarded base. Why can’t your wife come?" Fu Lei joked.

"What are you thinking? When did I say you can’t come? Just tell me before you come next time." Fang Bingwen softened and returned to his gentlemanly demeanor.

"I was just afraid of disturbing you. You said you had important matters to attend to this morning." Ye Qiu glanced at him and said softly.

Fu Lei looked at the two of them and, seeming to side with Ye Qiu, said, "Bingwen, you’re wrong here. This morning you’re just with two students, right? No need for you to do anything personally. How could you be disturbed?"

Then he said to Ye Qiu, "Sister-in-law, don’t blame Bingwen. He’s always serious about his work. Even our dean can’t disturb him easily."

"I understand him. It was my fault today. We agreed that I’d wait at home, but I came to the university without notifying him." Ye Qiu apologized with a smile, almost unable to meet Fang Bingwen’s gaze.

Fu Lei was not only Fang Bingwen’s colleague but also his classmate. He had witnessed Fang Bingwen’s passionate romance with his ex-wife and was sorry to see their divorce.

Moreover, he knew that Fang Bingwen never forgot his ex-wife. When he suddenly heard that Fang Bingwen was being pursued and even agreed to marry again, Fu Lei was extremely surprised. After learning that the person he married was a very wealthy rich second generation, he was even more astonished.

From daily conversations, he had thought Fang Bingwen’s wife was a spoiled and temperamental daughter from a wealthy family. But today, it seemed not so; Ye Qiu even seemed a bit afraid of Fang Bingwen? Was Fang Bingwen the one in control of this marriage?

Then why didn’t he refute when colleagues said Fang Bingwen had it hard and even had to do housework and cook for the Eldest Lady at home? Why let his wife’s reputation tarnish?

Did Fang Bingwen not like Ye Qiu at all? Or did he have another purpose for marrying her?

This is interesting; what is Fang Bingwen’s purpose for remarrying against his true feelings? Or did he really succumb to money?

Fu Lei truly envied Fang Bingwen’s good fortune. How could he get a second marriage with such a great woman despite already having a child? Everyone said he was wronged; how was he wronged at all?

Ye Qiu might not be as beautiful as his ex-wife, but she’s not bad. Although it was hard to see clearly with makeup that day, today she appeared with a slightly round face, yet her eyes were exceptionally lively and spirited. However, these lively eyes became timid when she met Fang Bingwen, possibly a posture of humility from the one who loves in a relationship.

Her figure was also well-proportioned, her skin was fair, delicate, and flawless. Most importantly, she was rich, had a lot of money, and loved him wholeheartedly. What was Fang Bingwen dissatisfied about?

If you asked Fu Lei, Ye Qiu was far better than Fang Bingwen’s ex-wife. Why couldn’t he meet someone like her? If Ye Qiu loved him, he would surely love her with all his heart, unlike Fang Bingwen’s indifference.

"I’ve finished my work. Let’s go." Fang Bingwen took off his lab coat, his expression slightly cold as he walked ahead.

Ye Qiu trailed after him in small steps, her voice faintly reaching his two students and Fu Lei’s ears: "Where’s Xiao Xu?"

"He’s sleeping in the office."

"Isn’t he afraid being alone?"

"I asked a female colleague to watch over him."

"You’d rather let another woman look after Xiao Xu than let me take care of him. Bingwen, we are a married couple; you don’t need to be afraid of troubling me. We have to live together for a lifetime. I should have a good relationship with Xiao Xu."

Fang Bingwen didn’t want to answer her question there, so he changed the topic: "What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Listening to those words, Fu Lei squinted and thought, you couldn’t tell, Fang Bingwen and Ye Qiu interact like this in private. Everyone thought he was a good husband! Would a good husband disregard his wife’s feelings like this?

Tsk tsk... He truly felt sorry for Ye Qiu. Why would a good rich second generation be so submissive and devoted to Fang Bingwen?

Noticing the still somewhat dazed two students, Fu Lei purposely said, "Your Professor Fang is lucky to have such a loving wife. I don’t know when I’ll finish being single!"

"Mr. Fu, your destined one will come. Maybe there is someone even better ahead." The students laughed and teased.

"I don’t have looks as good as your Professor Fang, so I doubt I have such luck. If I had a wife, I’d definitely treat her with the utmost respect, not like how Professor Fang is treated." Fu Lei joked.

"It’s a face-watching society now."

"What shall we eat?" By now, Ye Qiu had lost her earlier cautiousness and curiously looked around at the campus scenery.

Fang Bingwen frowned, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately sighed silently instead: "Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I don’t mind. Do you know what’s the most famous food at your university? If it’s popular with students, it must be good."

"I’m not sure. I usually just grab something at the cafeteria."

"Oh, I see!" Ye Qiu nodded and then gave him a sly smile with her bright eyes, "I have an idea!"

Saying that, she stopped two girls who were about to pass by, and with a cheerful look, asked them: "Hi, could you tell me what the most popular food at your university is? Could you recommend something? Please, please..."

Because Ye Qiu’s face was round and fair, and her eyes extremely clear, her cute gesture melted the two female students, making them really amused.

"The most popular might be Fat Brother’s spicy hot pot from Cafeteria One, stir-fried pork and stuffed tofu from Cafeteria Two, and the clay pot noodles and shredded chicken noodles from Cafeteria Four. They’re all quite nice, you can try them."

"Thank you so much!"

"You’re welcome."
