Nobody opened the door.
Lin Shiyu pressed the doorbell a few times, but still, nobody opened the door.
Fu Jingtong was not in the room.
Lin Shiyu glanced at the corridor. There was no one. She had an extra room card in her hand, so she swiped the card and the door opened.
Lin Shiyu entered the room.
There was no one in the room. She went to the office table and opened all the drawers. In the drawer at the bottom, she saw a yellow sealed envelope.
Her fair hands opened the envelope, and many photographs dropped out. Each and every photograph was of her in her younger days.
How did Fu Jingtong have so many photographs of her?
Could it be that he had known her very much earlier on, and had fallen in love with her?
Lin Shiyu suppressed her shock and pulled out a document from the envelope. There was a jade pendant sandwiched in the document.
She swiftly scanned through the document. She did not have time to be shocked, and merely stuffed the jade pendant into her pocket.
At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps outside the door. Fu Jingtong was back.
Lin Shiyu startled. She promptly placed the yellow envelope back into the drawer. It was too late for her to make an exit, so she could only hide in the corner of the office table.
The door opened.
Fu Jingtong entered, followed by his assistant.
Fu Jingtong removed his coat and sat on the sofa. His handsome face appeared frosty.
“Young Master, I’ve already checked. Miss Lin is not in her room. Fu Qinglun is not in his room either.”
From where she was at, Lin Shiyu could stealthily look at Fu Jingtong’s side profile. He did not speak a word, but his handsome face turned somber.
“Young Master, I feel that Miss Lin is not with you because she likes you. She just wants to investigate if Rong’rong is Madam Fu’s biological daughter.”
Fu Jingtong curved his lips passively. “I know her agenda, but she will definitely be disappointed. Rong’rong is Madam Fu’s biological daughter. Fu Qinglun was adopted from the orphanage.”
“Young Master, I’ve just received news that Fu Qinglun has resigned from the Fu Corporation. He is not willing to marry Rong’rong, and would rather give up everything. Now, Fu Qinglun is left with nothing. Very soon, the Fu family and Miss Lin will be Young Master’s.”
The smile at Fu Jingtong’s lips deepened. “You go back first.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The assistant left.
Fu Jingtong sat on the sofa alone. He poured himself a glass of red wine and swirled it around, his face pensive. Soon after, he downed the wine before heading to the bathroom.
The moment the bathroom door closed, Lin Shiyu got up promptly and snuck out of the room.
That was too close.
Lin Shiyu squeezed the jade pendant in her hands, and dialed a familiar number on her cell phone.
The melodious ringtone of the cell phone rang once before the phone was picked up. Fu Qinglun’s low, irresistible voice came through the phone. “Shi’shi.”
Lin Shiyu gripped her phone tightly. “Fu Qinglun, you come over here. I have something very important to tell you.”
“Alright.”
…
In the room, Fu Jingtong had showered and came out wearing a set of blue silk pajamas. He walked to the office table, opened the drawer and took out the yellow envelope.
The envelope seemed to have been touched by someone. The jade pendant inside was missing.
Fu Jingtong’s handsome features immediately turned cold. He took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number. “Hello, Lu Qi’er.”
…
Fu Qinglun arrived outside the yacht. He saw Lin Shiyu at one glance. She was wearing a nude colored dress, with a dark nude colored fur coat on the outside. The juxtaposition of the two different shades of color accentuated her exquisite and ravishing appearance. The chilly sea breeze swept her silky hair and skirt, and she was a pleasing sight.
He walked ahead and hugged her from behind. His soft lips nuzzled the hair at her ears and kissed her. “Why, you miss me?”
Her svelte waist was encircled by the man’s strong arms. She did not feel cold at all in the man’s broad embrace.
The man’s comfortable body warmth was attached to hers, making her feel warm.
“Fu Qinglun, they want you to marry Rong’rong?” Lin Shiyu asked.
Fu Qinglun buried his handsome face into her silky hair and nodded his head nonchalantly. “I will not marry her.”
Lin Shiyu turned around and her pretty eyes were riveted on his handsome face. There was an obvious handprint on his face.
There was a film of tears in her pretty eyes. He had asked her to meet in that dark place intentionally.
This way, she would not be able to see the mark that was inflicted by the slap.
Because of the man’s pride, he was unwilling to let her see how pathetic he looked.
She stretched her fair hand out and caressed his handsome face slowly. “Is it painful?”
Fu Qinglun pressed her delicate hand, and his low voice was tender. “Not painful… Shi’shi, I’m no longer the Young Master of the Fu family. The present me has lost everything. Do you mind?”
He gazed deeply at her little face and added, “But this is only temporary. Give me a few years, and I will have more than I have now. I will provide you with a better future.”
This was his confidence, fortitude and composure. This man was bound to achieve great things in the future.
“Fu Qinglun, this is for you.” Lin Shiyu placed a jade pendant in his hand.
“What is this?”
It was an emerald green jade pendant. It was completely translucent, and one could tell it was no ordinary item just by glancing at it.
“This is the jade pendant that was placed on your body when you entered the orphanage. Fu Qinglun, go to Mexico. Go to Mexico to find your biological parents.”
The yellow envelope in the Fu Jingtong’s drawer contained the records of Fu Qinglun’s stay in the orphanage. He was abandoned by a Mexican when he was an infant.
“Where did this jade pendant come from?”
“I found it in Fu Jingtong’s drawer.”
“Shi’shi, is that why there were rumors of Fu Jingtong and yourself? You don’t have to do this in the future. This is something a man should do.”
“Fu Qinglun, Rong’rong is Madam’s biological daughter, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. But it’s good that you have severed all ties with the Fu family. You can go to Mexico to find your biological parents and have a new beginning.”
“Shi’shi, then come with me to Mexico. We will start a new life there.”
Lin Shiyu was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.
“Shi’shi, I will book the tickets for tomorrow’s flight to Mexico. I will wait for you at the airport. You have to come.”
…
The next day.
Fu Qinglun packed his luggage and was preparing to head to the airport.
A melodious ringtone sounded. He had an incoming call.
It was from Lu Qi’er.
He received the call and said indifferently, “Hello.”
“Hello, Qinglun, come over. I have something to tell you.”
“I don’t have time. Besides, I’m not interested.”
“Qinglun, you’ll be interested in this. Your wife, Lin Shiyu, was not a virgin when she married you. Her hymen was reconstructed at a hospital.”
