Old Madam Fu was very satisfied with the dishes. “You’ve already done very well. Little Yu, why don’t you have a taste of her cooking?”


  Fu Tingyu glanced at the dishes in front of him indifferently. He did not have much appetite. He only came here to accompany grandma for a meal. When his younger brother was around, his younger brother would accompany Grandma.

  Now that his younger brother had gone to the capital, he naturally had to find time to accompany her.

  Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated twice.

  It caused him to stop in his act.

  Xu Wei specially showed off her cooking skills tonight. She made a few dishes that she had learned for a long time. When she saw Fu Tingyu come, she was looking forward to him eating her dishes and praising her cooking.

  When she saw Fu Tingyu picking up his chopsticks and then suddenly putting them down, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

  Fu Tingyu took out his phone and on it. He saw a message from Babe.

  [ Babe: Is hubby busy? Can we have a video call later? ]

  Old Madam Fu also asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Little Yu? Is there something important?”


  “Yes.”


  Fu Tingyu replied and quickly typed a message in response.

  Old Madam Fu felt sorry for him. “No matter how busy you are, you have to eat first. You can continue your work after you finish eating.”


  Fu Tingyu put away his phone and looked up at Old Madam Fu. “Yes, I’ll eat with Grandma first.”


  Hearing that, Old Madam Fu smiled. “That’s right. Let’s eat first.”


  Fu Tingyu picked up his chopsticks and started eating the food in front of him. His mind was still thinking about how Babe would pick up the video call later. Just thinking about it made him very excited.

  Xu Wei ate the food in her bowl slowly. She would raise her head from time to time to look at Fu Tingyu. She wanted to watch him eat the food she made and then compliment her.

  However, after watching for a while, she didn’t see Fu Tingyu eating the food she cooked. She couldn’t help but reminded him, “Tingyu, try this sweet and sour pork tenderloin. How does it taste?”


  After Xu Wei’s reminder, Old Madam Fu also pointed at the sweet and sour pork tenderloin and said, “This is made by Xu Wei. Try it. I just ate a piece and it tastes pretty good.”


  _

  Qin Shu sat in front of the table while holding her phone with both hands. She was waiting for the reply message. She didn’t expect the man to reply to her almost instantly. It was as if he saw the message the moment she sent it.

  [ Baby Yu: Wait for me for ten minutes. ]

  After reading the message, Qin Shu put down her phone and waited for ten minutes before looking at her phone again.

  Fu residence

  Xu Wei looked at Fu Tingyu in anticipation as she waited for him to take the food.

  At this moment, Fu Tingyu put down his chopsticks. He took out a piece of tissue with his slender fingers to wipe the grease at the corner of his lips. Then, he looked up at Old Madam Fu and said, “Grandma, I’ll go out and make a call first. I’ll accompany you later.”


  Old Madam Fu also put down her chopsticks when she heard this. “It’s something important, right? You can go then. Don’t worry about me.”


  “Okay.”


  Fu Tingyu stood up and walked out of the dining room.

  Xu Wei watched Fu Tingyu’s slender figure disappearing at the door. She looked in front of her. He hadn’t touched the sweet and sour pork tenderloin at all. She felt a little disappointed.

  Fu Tingyu walked straight to his own courtyard. When he walked through the Moon Cave Door, his phone was already out of his pocket. He opened his WeChat and pressed to make a video call.

  Qin Shu picked up her phone right after 10 minutes. Just as she reached her hand out, her phone rang. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a video call by Fu Tingyu. She accepted the call.

  After the video call got connected, she saw Fu Tingyu’s face. It was so handsome it could mesmerize all living things on earth. She could feel the intense gaze in his eyes even through the screen.

  She looked at the background behind the man. It didn’t seem like Sheng Yuan.

  Fu Tingyu leaned against the pillar in the corridor with his slender figure. He held his phone with one hand. This was the first time he was chatting with her through a video.

  “Where are you?”


  “At the old residence. I was having dinner with grandma just now.”


  Fu Tingyu looked at the lady in the video. His gaze moved back and forth on her face several times. He even looked at her exposed shoulders and the corner of her clothes several times. He looked very carefully.

  It was as if he wanted to understand the lady’s current situation through these details.

  His gaze fell on the lady’s palm-sized face. He wanted to see if she had grown thinner. He didn’t know if the food in the cafeteria was to her liking.

  He felt like a man in a long-distance relationship right now. He was excited when he saw the person in the video. He wanted nothing more than to pull her out of the video and hug her tightly in his arms.

  And kissed her.

  Only then could he ease the pain of missing her.

  “How is grandma doing? She should feel a little bored without Little Yan by her side, right?”


  Fu Songlan had left the old mansion a few days ago. Most of the juniors in the mansion were not around.

  The older they were, the more they needed someone to accompany them.

  “Grandma is doing well. It’s just that I’m not used to Little Yan not being around.”


  Fu Tingyu paused when he said that. He thought that the lady’s mark should have faded and his eyes darkened a little.

  He thought of the voice message Qin Shu sent a few days ago. He listened to it countless times every day and he could not sleep well every night.

  The man stared at the person in the video, and his voice was hoarse and seductive. “Babe, repeat the voice message you sent me that day.”


  At the mention of the voice message, Qin Shu quickly remembered what she sent to the man that night.

  Voice messages were different from saying it in person.

  She felt inexplicably embarrassed when she was going to say it in person.

  Fu Tingyu waited for a while and noticed that the person in the video didn’t have any intention of speaking,

  “Babe, why aren’t you saying anything?”


  Qin Shu gripped her phone tightly. She felt that her palms were sweating. The more impatient the man was, the more embarrassed she felt.

  She blushed and said hesitantly, “Hubby, I miss you.”


  “I miss you too, honey.”


  Fu Tingyu answered almost as soon as Qin Shu finished her sentence.

  There was excitement in the man’s voice. The live version of this sentence ‘Hubby, I miss you’ sounded very different from the voice message.

  When Qin Shu heard the man’s words, she blushed even more.

  “Did you come video call with me halfway through your meal? Grandma, she……”


  Before Qin Shu could finish her sentence, Fu Tingyu interrupted her. “Now, you can only mention me and no one else.”


  There was dissatisfaction and displeasure in the man’s voice. Qin Shu immediately changed her words.

  “Have you been very busy recently? Have you had a good rest?”


  “A good rest is not something that I can do just because I want to.”


  The man expressed his helplessness.

  “Why? Is there something troubling you? Did something happen in the company? Or is it something else?”


  “I miss you so much that I can’t sleep. I want to hug you and…… kiss you.”


  The man’s voice was deep and penetrating. Every word entered Qin Shu’s ears clearly.

  She was originally anxious and worried but when she suddenly heard this sentence, her face turned red again. Her blush just subsided but it appeared again.

  She buried her face between her knees, only leaving a pair of eyes to look at the man in the video. His handsome face and deep eyes seemed to be locked in on her. She couldn’t escape. She didn’t want to.

  Qin Shu sat in front of the desk with her legs crossed in front of her chest. Her feet were on the chair and her arms were crossed as she made the video call with Fu Tingyu.

  The man looked through the screen and saw the girl burying her face between her knees because of shyness. He called out.

  “Babe.”
