When Shi Yan finished looking through the papers, he had a bad premonition. It was as if he had seen a will. He raised his head and looked at Lord Fu. Was Lord Fu telling him what to do after he passed away?

  Pfft, pfft, pfft!

  What nonsense was he talking about?

  He had to do what Lord Fu told him to do.

  Shi Yan looked at Lord Fu who was in front of the table. He wanted to ask but didn’t dare to. In the end, he turned around and walked out.

  Fu Tingyu looked at the sugar figurine on the right and saw the lady’s smiling face. He lifted his slender fingers and caressed the lady’s smiling eyes.

  At the foot of the mountain.

  Qin Shu was carrying a backpack and holding a bag in her hands. She even put on a coat. The old man was right. The temperature in the mountain was low. Just standing at the foot of the mountain, one could feel a chill seeping into one’s pores. It caused her goosebumps to rise uncontrollably.

  The heaviest travel bag was carried by Han Xiao. He held the bag in one hand and looked at the forest in front of him. He was a little excited but there was no expression on his face.

  He was excited because the wilderness survival training a few years ago was still fresh in his memory. However, this time, there were fewer people.

  He turned to look at Qin Shu. “Let’s go. We can go in first and find a place to set up a tent.”


  “Okay.”


  Qin Shu nodded. She tightened her backpack belt and walked forward.

  This forest wasn’t protected by humans and the path was covered by weeds. It was very difficult to walk.

  Han Xiao watched as Qin Shu pushed away from the weeds and walked forward. When she bent down, the weeds brushed past her fair cheeks. If the weeds were slightly sharper, her cheeks might have been scratched. She walked much slower because of the obstacles. Han Xiao looked at the weeds that were about a meter tall and said, “I’ll go first. You can follow behind me.”


  Qin Shu stopped what she was doing and turned around to look at Han Xiao. Han Xiao walked past her. He was very tall and his legs were long and slender. He could easily pass through one-meter tall weeds. At the same time, he could also open up a path for Qin Shu.

  Qin Shu looked at Han Xiao’s tall and straight back view. This teacher of hers looked cold on the surface but he was actually very good at taking care of his student. She raised the corners of her lips. Then, she tightened her backpack belt and followed him.

  With Han Xiao walking in front, Qin Shu walked without any pressure.

  In the quiet mountain forest, the ringing of a phone was suddenly heard.

  Qin Shu heard the sound and put her hand into her pocket. She took out her phone and saw that the caller ID was Baby Yu. She didn’t know if she was excited or happy, but she smiled and immediately picked up the call.

  She was so excited that even her heart was beating faster.

  He took the initiative to call her. Did this mean that he wasn’t angry anymore?

  When she put the phone to her ear, she heard the man’s low and hoarse voice, “Babe.”


  Qin Shu curled the corner of her lips unconsciously when she heard the man calling her babe. His tone was as doting as before. It was as if the unhappiness from last night had disappeared in an instant. “Are you not angry anymore? I can’t go back now. I’ll be back in Jiang City in a few days.”


  Han Xiao, who was walking in front, heard the ringtone and turned to look at Qin Shu. They had just entered the mountain so there was still some signal. If they went further in, there would be no signal at all.

  Thinking of this, he also took out his phone and sent a message to Hua Wuyan, reminding him that he might not be able to receive any messages in the next few days.

  Fu Tingyu held the phone in one hand and used his other finger to carefully outline the sugar figurine’s face. He didn’t reply to Qin Shu.

  He seemed to be wondering why she had to wait a few days before coming back. Why didn’t she say nice things to him like before? Why didn’t she promise him that she would come back and accompany him for a few days in order to make him happy? Then, once she made him happy, she would find an excuse to go back to school.

  Qin Shu waited for a long time but she didn’t hear the man’s answer. The corner of her lips that had just raised slowly fell again.

  “Why aren’t you saying anything? I can promise you that I will go back to Jiang city in a few days.”


  Fu Tingyu stopped tracing the sugar figurine’s face. However, he was still not in a hurry to respond. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, “When you come back, how long can you stay with me? Can you give me a child?”


  Just when Qin Shu thought that the man was going to remain silent again, she heard the man’s question. She said, “I will stay with you until you are happy. I only will return to school when you’re happy.” She thought of the child and pursed her lips as if she was making a decision. She nodded. “Yes.”


  Fu Tingyu’s mood seemed to ease up a little when he heard the last sentence. “Okay.”


  “Are you still angry now?” Qin Shu asked cautiously.

  “If you come back and make me happy, not only will I not be angry,” Fu Tingyu paused for a moment, “If you want to leave Sheng Yuan, I won’t stop you.”


  Fu Tingyu’s voice was lower than usual. He seemed to be suppressing himself.

  Qin Shu was startled. She didn’t understand Fu Tingyan’s intention at the moment but it made her inexplicably uneasy: “What do you mean?”


  “Babe, don’t make me wait too long.”


  Fu Tingyu finished and hung up the phone. He did not say any more words. He was afraid that he would regret it.

  He gripped the mobile phone with mixed feelings in his heart. The strongest emotion was his unwillingness to give up. From the instant he said that sentence, he regretted it.

  – (beeping)

  – (beeping)

  Qin Shu looked at her phone. The call was hung up. She still did not understand what the man meant by she could leave Sheng Yuan.

  “Qin Shu, if you have finished your phone call, let’s leave.”


  Xiao Han noticed that Qin Shu had finished answering the phone so he shouted to her.

  “I’m coming.”


  Qin Shu heard the sound and came back to his senses. She put away the mobile phone and caught up with Xiao Han’s pace.

  Xiao Han saw Qin Shu moving so he turned around and continues to go forward.

  In the study, after the call was hung up, it became exceptionally quiet. It was almost dead silent.

  Fu Tingyu stood up and went to the bookcase at the side. He half-squatted down and opened the door of the cabinet below. He took out a piece of agarwood and a carving tool. Then, he turned around and sat back down in front of the desk.

  The agarwood was about 50 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide. It was heavier than ordinary wood. It was a kind of medicinal herb and it was also very rare and expensive.

  Fu Tingyu looked down at the agarwood in his hand. He held the carving tool in one hand and began to carve.

  Shi Yan pushed open the study door and walked in from outside. He saw Lord Fu holding the agarwood. This piece of agarwood had been bought at the auction some time ago with a large sum of money.

  What did Lord Fu want to carve this time?

  Shi Yan walked to the desk and placed the printed documents on it.

  “Lord Fu, they have been printed.”


  Fu Tingyu raised his eyes and looked at the pieces of documents on the desk. He didn’t control the strength on his other hand so the sharp blade left a cut on his finger and fingernail.

  Shi Yan saw the blood flowing out of his fair finger and jumped in fright. “Lord Fu, your hand is bleeding. I’ll go get the medical kit.”


  Shi Yan hurriedly turned around and walked out of the study.

  Fu Tingyu glanced at his bleeding finger indifferently. He took a few tissues and wiped the bloodstains. The cut was a little deep so the blood did not stop immediately. He took a few more tissues and wrapped his finger up so that the blood would not flow out temporarily.

  He reached for the pen container and took out a pen. He plucked out the pen cover and picked up the documents that Shi Yan had printed. He began to sign them one by one. His handwriting was smooth and fluid. The style of his writing was full of vigor and the words that he wrote exuded the aura of a powerful man.
