Fu Tingyu turned his head to look at the time on his watch. It was almost eleven o’clock. The girl should already be sleeping at this time.

  He let go of her and said in a low voice, “Go to sleep.”


  Qin Shu was afraid that he would see her swollen eyes from crying. She turned her back to him and nodded. “Okay, don’t stay up too late.”


  After saying that, she walked out of the study.

  Fu Tingyu stood there, his dark eyes looking at the girl’s thin figure disappearing at the door of the study.

  After a long time, he looked away and walked to the desk. He sat down on the leather chair.

  He rested his elbow on the armrest of the chair, his slender fingers supporting his chin. He looked at the fondant figurine on the right side of the desk.

  His pale slender fingers reached under the base of the switch. The signal light that was the size of a bean lit up and the fondant figures began to dance.

  The speed the fondant figures were dancing at was very slow. One could clearly see their features. The two figures were both smiling and they smiled very sweetly.

  Fu Tingyu sat there quietly and watched the two figures for a long time.

  Meanwhile, in the bedroom’s ensuite,

  Qin Shu looked at himself in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen. Tear tracks were clearly visible on her pale cheeks. There was only one word to describe how she looked right now- Ugly.

  She hates seeing herself like this, not to mention him.

  She patted her face with her hands, looking as if she had made up her mind. “Don’t cry in front of him next time.”


  No, it should be that she should never cry so easily.

  She took a deep breath and tried to calm down from the sadness she had felt earlier.

  Then, she started to take off her clothes and went to take a shower.

  The shower didn’t take long.

  She came out of the bathroom wearing a light pink nightgown that Fu Tingyu had prepared for her.

  It should be said that Fu Tingyu had prepared dozens of nightgowns for her in all styles.

  She walked to the side of the bed, took off her slippers, and laid down. She only fell asleep after a long while.

  The next day-

  When Qin Shu brushed her teeth and washed her face, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and found that her eyes were still swollen.

  It was because she had cried very hard last night.

  Luckily, her hair was down and no one could see her face.

  Qin Shu washed up and went downstairs.

  Ning Meng had been waiting at the staircase since morning. When she saw Qin Shu coming down, she tugged at the hem of her clothes with both hands and asked softly, “Madam, are you still angry? Sir really doesn’t have any intention to harm you.”


  Qin Shu glanced at Ning Meng who lowered her head. She looked as if she was a little afraid and a little worried.

  Her actions last night must have scared Ning Meng.

  There was nothing she could do. If she hadn’t been more ruthless, Ning Meng definitely would not have told the truth.

  “I’m not angry. Don’t think too much about it. Go do your own thing.”


  After Qin Shu said that, she walked across the living room and sat down at the dining table. Then, she started eating breakfast.

  Ning Meng stood at the staircase in a daze as she watched Qin Shu leave. Qin Shu had been so fierce last night and had almost scared her to death. Now, it was as if nothing had happened.

  She still liked Qin Shu the way she was now.

  The Qin Shu from last night was too f*cking scary. Sobs……

  After breakfast, Qin Shu left the house.

  Fu Tingyan’s car was outside.

  In order not to let Fu Tingyan see her swollen eyes, and have his mind run wild, she turned her head away after getting into the car and did not look at Fu Tingyan.

  Fu Tingyan glanced at Qin Shu and found that she had turned her head sideways as if she did not dare to look at him.

  He subconsciously looked down at himself and did to find anything wrong with himself. He was neatly dressed and he had looked in the mirror before he left the house.
