Qin Shu wanted to wait for the man to go upstairs first before she went up. It was safer that way.

  Fu Tingyu stood up. Seeing that the girl was sitting still, he asked in a low voice, “Why are you sitting here and not moving?”


  Qin Shu looked up at the man and rubbed her flat belly. “I’m too full and want to rest. Since you’re so busy, go up first. I’ll go up after I rest.”


  Fu Tingyu was nearly 1.9 meters tall. When he stood, he was like a mountain. When he looked down, he could see the girl’s stomach. It was flat and it didn’t look like she was full at all.

  He saw that she had only eaten half a bowl of rice earlier.

  Qin Shu watched as the man stared at her stomach for a while. She felt as if she was being scanned by an x-ray. It was as if he could see that there was still empty space in her stomach.

  “Then I’ll help you massage it to help digest your food.” Fu Tingyu walked over.

  Qin Shu, “.……”


  Fu Tingyu up to the girl and extended his hand. It was rare for him to be so gentlemanly. “Let’s go to the bedroom. I’ll massage it for you.”


  When Qin Shu looked at the man, she felt a little embarrassed. “My legs are numb.”


  This excuse……

  Fu Tingyu didn’t ask any further. He lowered his body and stretched out his strong arms. He lifted her up from the chair and walked straight to the second floor.

  The man’s sudden action stunned Qin Shu for two seconds. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.

  In some aspects, the man was really a man of action.

  “Babe, you can tell me straight if you want me to carry you. I’m very happy.”


  Qin Shu had just raised her head when she heard the man’s pleasant voice. Did the man think that she wanted him to carry her when she said that her legs were numb?

  Judging from his tone, he seemed to be happy with her excuse?

  However, she couldn’t refute his words, so she could only agree silently……

  Fu Tingyu walked steadily to the bedroom on the second floor.

  When he reached the bedroom door, Qin Shu cooperated by reaching out her hand to hold the handle and push the door open.

  Fu Tingyu walked into the room and closed the door at the same time. Then, he walked to the sofa and sat down. He didn’t plan to put the person in his arms down.

  Qin Shu saw that the man was really going to rub her stomach to help her digest her food. She hurriedly said, “You go back to work first. My stomach is much better now. It’s not that bloated anymore.”


  Fu Tingyu asked, “Really?”


  Qin Shu nodded hard. “Of course it’s true. It might be because of the soup. That’s why I felt my stomach was bloated. It’s much better now.”


  Fu Tingyu stared at the girl for a while before saying, “Then I’ll go to the study.”


  Qin Shu nodded. “Okay.”


  Fu Tingyu saw the girl nodding and reached out his hand to rub her stomach. It was indeed not that bloated. He hugged her and stood up, leaving her on the sofa.

  He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Then, he stood up straight, turned around, and walked out of the bedroom to the study.

  Qin Shu let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not noticed anything. Otherwise, if he knew that there was a bloody hole in her leg from the bullet, she would not have been able to imagine what kind of reaction a man would have. His heart would definitely ache.

  When it was time for class, she went to the small study room to attend class.

  In the study room-

  Fu Tingyu lowered his head and dealt with his work seriously.

  Just then, Shi Yan pushed open the door of the study. He walked to the desk with Fu Tingyu’s schedule.

  “Sir, this is the schedule for the recent week. It’s very full.”


  Shi Yan placed the schedule in front of Fu Tingyu.

  Fu Tingyu turned his head and looked at the schedule. He picked up the schedule with his slender fingers, bringing it up to him as he read it.

  “There’s a family meeting this week,” Shi Yan reminded him.

  The family meeting was held every quarter to judge the performance of the businesses under the name of the Fu family and the other executives.

  The Fu family had a lot of businesses. If they couldn’t improve the performance of the business, it meant that they were not capable. Since they were not capable, they had to let competent people manage them.

  The position as the leader of the Fu family would have been taken by others who were lusting over it if not for Fu Tingyu’s strong abilities.

  Fu Tingyu placed the schedule to the side and said, “Arrange the schedule to head to Xijin after the family meeting.”


  “Yes sir.” Shi Yan took the schedule and prepared to rearrange the schedule at the back.

  –

  In the bedroom-

  Qin Shu sat on the bed. She looked at the time on the phone. It was already 10:30. She yawned and got ready to go to sleep.

  Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, Fu Tingyu walked in. Qin Shu, who was preparing to lie down, paused.

  She turned her head to look in the direction of the door and saw the man walking in with steady steps. Just like yesterday, it was only 10:30……

  Fu Tingyu walked straight to the wardrobe, took his robe, and walked into the bathroom.

  Qin Shu lay on the bed. She was still wearing long pants, but she couldn’t help but worry that the man would notice the injury on her calf.

  Just as Qin Shu was worrying, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, followed by the sound of steady footsteps. As the footsteps got closer and closer, she didn’t need to guess to know that the man had already walked to the bedside.

  The mattress sank. The man had already laid down beside her.

  “Babe.”


  The man’s deep and masculine voice was beside her ear. When it reached her ears, it felt a little itchy. She had originally wanted to pretend to be asleep but she could not help but tuck her neck in.

  Qin Shu pretended to be angry and said, “Stop messing around. I’m almost asleep.”


  This was the first time Fu Tingyu had been rejected lately. Fu Tingyu’s dark and deep eyes stared at the girl’s thin shoulders. He pursed his lips as if he did not understand.

  She did not reject him even if he had gone too far in the past.

  But she was rejecting him now.

  Seeing that the man did not move, Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief. “Turn off the lights and go to sleep. You are so busy every day. Rest early.”


  Fu Tingyu stared at the girl’s back for a long time before turning off the lights.

  The originally bright bedroom instantly turned pitch black. One could not even see one’s fingers.

  When the lights were turned off, Qin Shu’s uneasy heart finally calmed down. Fighting ten martial artists during the day had consumed a lot of energy.

  Therefore, when the bedroom fell silent, the tired Qin Shu fell asleep very quickly.

  However, Fu Tingyu, who was sleeping next to her, didn’t feel sleepy at all.

  His pitch-black eyes stared into the pitch-black bedroom. His mind was filled with the actions and words of the girl when she had rejected him just now.

  It made him feel a little irritated.

  He heard the girl’s light breathing and knew that she was asleep.

  He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from the bedside table. He walked to the balcony under the faint moonlight, opened the glass door, and walked out.

  The faint moonlight shone down upon the balcony. The tall and straight figure of a man stood in front of the railings. He looked at the ginkgo tree in front of him. The colorful lights on it emitted a colorful color.

  The golden leaves had always retained their original color.

  The cigarette at his fingertips flickered in the night.

  The next day-

  The sky was bright

  When Qin Shu woke up, there was no sign of the man by the bed. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was already seven o’clock.

  After she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, she did not go downstairs to eat breakfast. Instead, she asked Ning Meng to bring her breakfast upstairs.
