Fu Tingyu wasn’t back yet at this hour.
Qin Shu walked to the door of the study, grabbed the doorknob, pushed the door open, and walked in.
The study was very quiet, and the light was very dim because the curtains were drawn tightly.
Qin Shu looked at the two fondant figurines on the desk. He had placed the fondant figures in the most conspicuous position on the desk the day she had given them to him. He would be able to see them as long as he looked up.
She walked to the desk and sat on the leather chair that Fu Tingyu would sit on every day.
His desk was just like him. There was only a computer, a mahogany pen holder beside it, a stack of folders, and the fondant figures.
The tabletop was clean and tidy.
Qin Shu opened her bag and took out a pink post-it. She took a pen from the pen holder, pulled the pen cap off the pen, and wrote a sentence on the note.
In death or life separated and far apart,
With you I made an agreement,
I grasped your hand,
Together with you I was to grow old.
— Qin Shu
After she finished writing, Qin Shu capped the pen and returned it to the pen holder. She picked up the note with her fair fingers and looked at the poem on it. The corners of her mouth rose.
After reading it, she tore the sticky note from the pad and pasted it on the computer in front of her.
Fu Tingyu would sit here when he entered the study. Then, he would be able to see this note.
After doing all this, Qin Shu stood up and walked out of the study. She closed the door and returned to her small study.
She sat in front of her desk, turned on her computer, and began to check Qin Hai’s location.
She looked at the computer screen and saw the location services indicating that Qin Hai was in Yanbei.
She spent some time to find out the details of the hotel room Qin Hai stayed in, as well as the surveillance footage.
From the records, Qin Hai was traveling with a boss of a large company. They were accompanied by beautiful women.
This was the so-called social gathering.
Qin Hai and Mu Lan had met at a social gathering as well before getting together.
In fact, the reason why Mu Lan couldn’t get through to Qin Hai’s phone was that Qin Shu had set up a call transfer in Qin Hai’s phone.
Qin Hai won’t be back for three to five days.
Mu Lan would definitely grow frantic over this.
Qin Shu closed her laptop. An intelligent glint flashed in her eyes.

During dinner-
Qin Shu’s mind wandered as she ate because she was thinking of the missing herb.
She looked up at Fu Tingyu, who was seated across her. She couldn’t help but wonder why he didn’t like to talk at the table?
He usually didn’t speak unless he had to.
Feeling the girl’s gaze on him from time to time, Fu Tingyu looked up at the girl and asked softly, “Babe, do you have something to say?”
Qin Shu bit her chopsticks and looked at the man. “I treated the mock exam this time very seriously. The results should be out tomorrow.”
What Qin Shu meant was that she had studied hard at school and had done nothing else. She had nothing to do with Scum Shen. Her results were the best proof of that.
Fu Tingyu thought that Qin Shu had said that because she was afraid that he would not teach her how to play the piano.
He nodded thoughtfully. “Yes, I understand.”
“I’m glad you understand.” Qin Shu picked up a delicious piece of fish fillet and placed it into the bowl in front of him.
Fu Tingyu looked at the fish in the bowl in front of him and then looked up at the girl. Did she learn how to curry favor in advance?
He picked up his chopsticks and picked up the piece of fish in his bowl. He put it into his mouth and chewed slowly before swallowing it.
After dinner-
Qin Shu followed Fu Tingyu upstairs.
However, when they reached the stairs, Fu Tingyu went to the study, and she went back to her own small study.
Qin Shu watched his straight back as he walked into the study. She didn’t enter the bedroom until he disappeared around the corner.
