It was already four o’clock in the morning.
The living room suddenly became quiet after they left.
Ye Luo held Boss in his arms and stood there straight like a tree.
Shi Yan, who had been maintaining a high degree of nervousness, returned to the hotel. He felt the tiredness struck him when he was relaxed. He yawned and glanced at Ye Luo. Seeing that he was standing still, he said, “Hey, go and rest. It’s late.”
Ye Luo said, “Lord Fu hasn’t punished me yet.”
“The punishment will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. Go and sleep first.”
Shi Yan walked to his side and patted Ye Luo’s shoulder.
Ye Luo raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Yan but did not say anything.
Shi Yan saw that Ye Luo did not say anything and smiled. “But to be honest, madam surprised me tonight. Her acting skills was at the level of the best actress. Even Lord Fu was intimidated by her.”
However, Ye Luo said, “It’s dangerous.”
Shi Yan was stunned for a few seconds before he understood the meaning behind his words. He sighed and said, “It’s indeed quite risky for her tonight. The consequences are serious if she was discovered to be faking that. Lord Fu will be distress and angry if anything happens to her.”
Shi Yan changed the topic when he said till there. “Fortunately, it was a shock without danger. Let’s go back and rest first. Lord Fu was seriously injured today and needs a good rest.”
Ye Luo looked at Shi Yan, pursed his lips, and then left with Shi Yan with Boss in his arms.
Shi Yan let out a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Luo listened to him. Persuading Ye Luo was a tough job.
——
In the hotel room.
Fu Ting Yu showed first. Qin Shu felt that he was a little weak when he walked. She was afraid that he might fall in the bathroom, so she went in and helped.
She spent some time waiting for him to finish showering before helping him out.
She said after helping him to the bed and made him sit on it, “You lie on the bed and sleep first. I’ll come back after I’m done showering.”
“Okay.” Fu Tingyu responded. He laid down on the bed with the help of the girl.
Qin Shu looked at the man lying on the bed. He had just showered. His complexion was better than before after being fumed by the heat, but he still didn’t look good.
Unfortunately, she didn’t bring Gu Yan over. Gu Yan could take a look at his injuries and make her feel more at ease.
She withdrew her gaze, turned around, and took her clothes into the bathroom to take a shower.
Fu Tingyu was lying on the bed. Although he was dizzy and felt as if there was a huge rock pressing on his chest, making his breathing a little difficult, he wasn’t in a hurry to close his eyes to sleep. Instead, he planned to wait for the girl to finish showering and sleep together.
Qin Shu took a quick shower that night. She quickened her pace and finished showering, perhaps because she was worried about Fu Tingyu, who was outside. She put on her bathrobe and walked out after showering.
She realized that the person lying on the bed was not asleep yet when she walked to the side of the bed. His eyes were half-closed as he looked over as if he was waiting for her.
Qin Shu sat down on the edge of the bed, took off her shoes, and laid down beside the man. Then, she turned off the lights in the room.
The bright room instantly fell into darkness.
Fu Tingyu stretched out his arm and pulled the girl into his arms in the dark. He pressed his chin against the soft top of her hair, closed his eyes, and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you listen to me?”
The man’s voice was light, with a hint of intense tiredness.
It made Qin Shu’s heartache. “Go to sleep first. We’ll talk about it tomorrow when you wake up.”
Qin Shu felt the arms that were hugging her tighten a little as soon as she finished speaking.
There was a long silence.
Qin Shu thought that the man was asleep, but she heard the man’s soft voice at that moment.
“What if something happens?”
Qin Shu’s heart tightened when she heard that. Her arms were wrapped around the man’s skinny waist. He would always think of her no matter what.
“I feel safer than anything else wherever you are. Go to sleep. It’s already late.”
Not only would a man be furious, but he would also go crazy if he hadn’t been seriously injured and unable to even speak when he found out that she had risked her life to go to the equestrian center. She had even confronted Xiye Ze, who was even holding a gun in his hand and pointing it in her direction.
That was also why she wanted to come secretly. That way, he wouldn’t know that someone who he had always loved was doing something risky.
He would not think so much and would not feel pity for her.
Fu Tingyu, who was extremely tired, hugged his ‘bolster’ as if he were driving away from the uneasiness in his heart. He gradually fell asleep, following the onset of sleepiness.
It was already early in the morning. Qin Shu was also feeling sleepy after a highly intense battle of wits and courage. She fell asleep in no time after closing her eyes.
The next day.
In the afternoon.
Qin Shu woke up hungry. She saw the man’s smooth jaw when she opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and looked up at the man in front of her, noticing that his eyes were tightly shut and he was still sleeping.
He had already woken up usually when she woke up. It was rare for her to wake up before he woke up.
She could see how he looked when he was sleeping.
She looked at the man’s sleeping face. His eyebrows were long and narrow, and his thick eyelashes were long and naturally curly. It seemed to be even longer and curvier than hers.
He was so beautiful. He must have been a nice-looking young boy when he was younger.
Qin Shu saw that the man showed no signs of waking up and was ready to get out of bed to wash up. However, the man’s arm tightened just as she moved her body.
The man’s murmurs came from above her head. “Don’t go.”
Qin Shu thought that the man had been woken up by her actions. She looked up at him and found that his eyes were still closed. It was just his murmurs just now.
She whispered, “I’m just getting out of bed to wash up and then go to eat. I won’t leave. Sleep well.”
The man’s arm loosened a little after a while.
Qin Shu looked at the man and tried to move his arm away. She lifted the blanket and got out of bed quietly upon seeing that he didn’t have much of a reaction. She then wore the slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Qin Shu went out to eat breakfast after washing up. No, it should be lunch at that time.
Shi Yan asked the hotel to prepare lunch. It was sumptuous, but it didn’t suit her appetite.
So she stopped eating after eating a small bowl.
She didn’t feel hungry anymore with some food in her stomach.
She glanced at the time on her watch. It was already two o’clock in the afternoon, but the man hadn’t woken up yet.
He did not have the habit of sleeping in and out of bed. His life had always been disciplined. Other than the bad habit of working until midnight every night, everything else was fine.
Shi Yan could not help but ask upon seeing that his master had yet to come out, “Madam, is sir still not up yet?”
“He was still asleep when I woke up. Perhaps he was tired. I’ll go and wake him up to have breakfast.”
Qin Shu stood up and walked into the bedroom.
The person on the bed showed no signs of waking up. She walked to the bedside and reached out to wake him up.
But suddenly, his eyes opened. A pair of pitch-black eyes stared at her. The man grabbed her wrist tightly. The man’s eyes were slightly cold, which made her feel a little guilty.
Fu Tingyu stared at the girl for a long time. His gaze became colder upon thinking of the dangerous actions she did last night. “Shouldn’t you be punished for disobeying me?”
