There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

  After a long while, just as Xiang Huai was getting impatient and was about to hang up, Ji Silin finally said, “Before I called you, I actually thought about sending someone to take her away.”


  Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow and said coldly, “Do you think you have the ability?”


  Ji Silin had created the Moguls’ Group and made those espers who were on the right path to be monitored by Xiang Huai. Xiang Huai clearly knew the identities of those people in the Moguls’ Group, but he still silently agreed and gave them some freedom.

  However, this also coincidentally meant that Ji Silin was deeply afraid of Xiang Huai. Otherwise, why would he have lowered his head and admitted defeat?

  Hence, Xiang Huai’s words were exceptionally reasonable.

  Ji Silin smiled warmly and was not angered by his words. Instead, he slowly said, “You can stop me, but if I tell her everything and she wants to leave, can you stop her?”


  Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. “She won’t leave.”


  “Why? Are you so sure?”


  Xiang Huai smiled. “Don’t forget that she’ll die if she’s not in love with me.”


  “.……”
……

  The Fu family in the capital.

  “Cough, cough, cough!”


  Fu Yuanxiu held his phone and sent a WeChat message to Little Cutie while coughing violently.

  Little Cutie said that the Cat King Cafe was very fun. There was a white cat in there who had taken a fancy to Xitara and kept pestering it. She then said that she wanted to go with him there next time.

  Fu Yuanxiu smiled and could not help but reply: “Why don’t we meet there?”


  The person who was chatting with him was his online lover, Little Cutie. Recently, he had been juggling two personalities. While he was very obedient to Little Cutie, he would mock Qian Zheng from time to time and use his vicious tongue. His goal was to force Qian Zheng to admit that she was Little Cutie.

  After he sent this message, Qian Zheng quickly sent him a WeChat message: “Do you really want to meet me?”


  It had been two months and Qian Zheng’s attitude had relaxed recently. He also knew that if he pursued her a little more closely, Little Cutie would probably agree.

  He typed: “Yes.”


  Just as he said this, he suddenly coughed violently.

  This time, he coughed as though he wanted to cough out his internal organs. He could not stop. He held his handkerchief and covered his mouth. After coughing for an unknown number of times, a metallic taste suddenly surged from his throat.

  Fu Yuanxiu was stunned.

  His entire body suddenly froze.

  Immediately, he slowly lowered his head and slowly moved the handkerchief away from his lips. He saw a shocking redness on the white handkerchief.

  The doctor had said that once he coughed out blood, it would be a critical moment.

  But it should be fine. It could be cured. His father had said that he had a way to cure it.

  Fu Yuanxiu suppressed the cough in his throat and entered the room. He walked upstairs. Just as he reached the study room upstairs, he heard Fu Chun’s old voice begging, “Old friend, help me persuade her again. Xiao Yuan can’t hold on any longer! The doctor told me that he has late-stage lung cancer and only has a month left!

  “Help me tell Fang Yi that I can give all my assets to her! I only ask for my son’s life!”


  The gentle and elegant Fu Yuanxiu was stunned.

  After some time, he touched his glasses and quietly walked to his bedroom.

  There were many oil paintings hanging on the wall in his bedroom. They were all given to him by his father over the years.

  Just as he was staring blankly at them, his phone rang again. He picked it up and took a look. He realized that it was a message from Little Cutie: “?? Anyone there? Where did you go? If you want to, I’ll reluctantly agree! If you don’t want to, forget it!”


  The girl was clearly displaying her coquettishness.

  Fu Yuanxiu’s gaze was fixed on the inside of the typing box. He had just typed “I really want to” and had yet to send it out. He stared at the words for a very long time, until the light outside dimmed and the room turned dark. Only then did he delete the words.

  He tapped on the keyboard with one finger and typed, “No.”


  The moment he pressed the send button and sent the message, Fu Yuanxiu’s eyes turned red for the first time since he fell sick.
