“Babe, forget him.”


  The man sounded as if he were pleading. His furrowed brows were filled with pain.

  Qin Shu’s heart ached when he saw the man’s pained expression. She hurriedly nodded. “I’ve forgotten him. I’ve forgotten all about him.”


  “You are lying to me.” The man grabbed her hand and tightened his grip on it even more. It was as if he was grasping at a lifebuoy. He held it with all his might. “Babe, you’re mine.”


  Qin Shu was stunned. Her heart felt as if it were bleeding as she looked at the man’s pained and miserable appearance.

  Deep in the man’s heart, he had always thought that she loved Shen Yaohui and that the changes she had made were for Shen yaohui.

  “Just trust me this time. I love you, Fu Tingyu, not someone else.”


  Qin Shu’s voice was a little hoarse and she felt like crying. However, she resisted the urge to cry.

  She still had a lot of time to prove that she loved him and not anyone else.

  The man seemed as if he was having a nightmare. He could not hear what she said at all.

  “Babe, your heart is mine too.”


  Even in his sleep, the man was still domineering.

  The room fell silent for a moment.

  The painful expression on the man’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced with a look of satisfaction.

  His tightly furrowed brows also gradually relaxed.

  Qin Shu did not expect that this trick would also work on the man in his sleep.

  It was only then that she realized that the man indeed had not had any alcohol.

  Because she had not tasted any alcohol.

  A trace of doubt flashed across her eyes. Why was he behaving like that if he had not had any drinks?

  He did not appear to be any different from being drunk.

  Actually, Fu Tingyu was like this because he had soaked in the medicinal bath that Gu Yan had prepared for him and also because he had undergone acupuncture.

  After the man calmed down, Qin Shu took off her shoes and clothes and lay down beside the man.

  She buried her head into the man’s chest and wrapped her arms around the man’s lean waist.

  She could smell the scent that was unique to him.

  Listening to the man’s strong and powerful heartbeat was better than hypnosis. It took her just a moment to fall asleep.

  Qin Shu woke up as the sky began to brighten.

  She sat up, got dressed, and glanced sideways at the sleeping man.

  The man was sleeping especially deeply today.

  He would usually wake up immediately when she moved in his arms.

  She reached out to touch the man’s handsome face. In her starry eyes, there was a gentleness that had never been seen before. “I have to go. Wait for me to come back after the college entrance exam.”


  At this moment, the man frowned again, as if he was dissatisfied with the sudden emptiness in his arms.

  Qin Shu withdrew her hand, stood up, and walked out.

  She closed the door behind her.

  When she opened the main door, there was a tall and muscular figure standing under the parasol tree in the slightly dark yard. There was also a flickering light coming from a cigarette.

  She closed the door and walked over to the figure.

  Ye Luo put out his cigarette and waited for Qin Shu to walk over before walking out with her.

  As they walked on the quiet brick road, Qin Shu turned her head to look at Ye Luo. There was no expression on her face. “It’s quite troublesome following me around, isn’t it?”


  Ye Luo glanced at Qin Shu but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t just troublesome.

  Qin Shu smiled. “Actually, I sometimes feel that I’m quite troublesome too.”


  It was exactly because she was troublesome that always dragged him down.

  Thinking of the expression on the man’s face last night, her heart ached.

  Ye Luo glanced at Qin Shu, but still didn’t say anything.

  After returning to Bright Garden, Ye Luo carried Qin Shu’s suitcase into the car and drove to the hotel.

  Fu Tingyan had gone with Jiang Yu in advance.

  An hour later, at the hotel-

  The hotel room that Fu Tingyu had arranged for her was a suite.

  Qin Shu rested for a while before Ye Luo drove her to the exam location.

  Qin Shu looked at the examination location and felt somewhat emotional. This was her third time here, and the exam location was like an old acquaintance.

  She took a deep breath and stepped in.

  Ye Luo sat in the car and watched as Qin Shu’s slender figure dove into the crowd before looking away.

  At the family residence-

  Fu Tingyu woke up, and subconsciously tightened his arms. Upon realizing that his arms were empty, he looked in front of him. It was indeed a dream.

  He sat up. He was in good spirits because he had had eight hours of sleep.

  The dream last night, especially, made him feel somewhat satisfied.

  After washing up, he walked out of the room in a suit and tie.

  Shi Yan was already waiting outside.

  When he saw Fu Tingyu coming out, he immediately went up to him. “Sir, are you going straight to the company?”


  Fu Tingyu replied with a grunt. Then, he walked out of the courtyard.

  Shi Yan immediately followed behind him.

  “Oh right, Sir, Young madam called last night to ask if you had been drinking. She also said that she wanted to visit you.”


  Fu Tingyu’s expression froze when he heard that. “What time was it?”


  Shi Yan said,

  “Not even ten o’clock.”


  “Then what did you say?”


  “I said that you weren’t drinking and were sleeping. I told Young Madam not to come.”


  Fu Tingyu stopped and turned his head to look at Shi Yan calmly. “How long have you been serving me?”


  Shi Yan felt an inexplicable chill run down his back. “I’ve been serving you since I was young.”


  Fu Tingyu put one hand in his pocket and continued to ask, “Do you know my preferences?”


  Shi Yan replied without even thinking, “I know. I know what you like to eat, what brand you use, and what you like to do.”


  Fu Tingyu asked, “Do you know what I like best?”


  “Young Madam.” Shi Yan answers carefully.

  “It’s good that you know.”Fu Tingyu continued walking.

  If the girl had come last night, would he have had to dream?

  Shi Yan followed behind unhurriedly. He felt that he still did not know Fu Tingyu well enough.

  This was especially because he had become more inscrutable after falling in love.

  After an entire day of exams, Qin Shu walked out of the examination room and heaved a sigh of relief.

  It was not because the questions were too difficult, but because the atmosphere in the examination room was a little oppressive. It made one feel as if they could not breathe.

  Ye Luo had been waiting for Qin Shu. When he saw her, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door for her.

  Qin Shu strode over and got into the car.

  After Ye Luo got on the car.

  Qin Shu propped her chin up with one hand and looked at Ye Luo in the driver’s seat. She suggested, “Let’s eat skewers tonight.”


  “Sir……”


  Before Ye Luo could finish his words, Qin Shu interrupted him. “He’s not here. It’s fine to eat it once in a while. It’s not like we are going to buy candy secretly.”


  Last time, she had eaten twenty-one candies consecutively. The next day, her tooth hurt, but she endured it and did not say anything.

  She was afraid that the man would confiscate her one candy a day.

  Ye Luo was silent for a long time before he started the engine and drove away.

  Qin Shu watched as Ye Luo dove on without saying anything. She was a little disappointed, but when she thought about his character, she felt relieved.

  Ye Luo was violent, taciturn, and very loyal to Fu Tingyu.

  Rather than being a chauffeur, he preferred to solve things by force.

  Moreover, he didn’t really like her. It was a little difficult for him to follow her around.

  Qin Shu thought to herself, I should wait until I’m in college to eat skewers.

  She looked out of the car window and looked at the shops that fell behind them. She felt that something wasn’t right.

  This didn’t seem to be the way back to the hotel.
