Chapter 271: Intimate Contact, Not Worthy of Him

On the other hand, he was quite happy. Wearing clothes, he gathered with friends in the compound and attracted quite a number of female dogs. One of them almost followed him home. The dog was frolicking so wildly.

Fu Wan kept saying, “This dog is probably a toy poodle that reincarnated wrongly. How can a Shiba Inu be so frivolous?”

Fu Chen was disgusted with his stupid outfit and didn’t want to take him out for a walk at all.

The clothes had polka dots on them, making him look exceptionally flashy when walking on the street. He was the most good-looking dog in the entire compound.

Fu Chen even specially took a photo and sent it to Song Fengwan. She was so tickled pink. It was also at this moment that he received Fu Sinian’s message.

As a technology geek, Fu Sinian usually interacted with similar people. It was inevitable that there was some mutual deception in the business world. To Fu Chen, it was nothing. He was a little surprised that Fu Sinian would ask him to investigate someone for no reason.

[Who do you want to investigate?] Fu Chen replied.

At this moment, the car had already arrived at the condo building. Fu Sinian got out of the car and called Fu Chen.

“… The law and order in the capital have been very good these years. There are even open robberies on the streets? How bold.” Fu Chen was speechless.

“Things might not be that simple. I want you to help me investigate it.”

“Okay.” Fu Chen nodded. “You also have to get her to watch out for herself.”

…

After he hung up, Yu Manxi and Shen Jinye were already waiting at the elevator entrance. He didn’t know what they were talking about; they were chatting and laughing, causing Fu Sinian to frown constantly.

Shen Jinye coughed twice.?We just exchanged a few words. Is there a need to stare at me like that?

When they reached the 16th floor, Yu Manxi thanked them and prepared to take the grocery bags from Shen Jinye. “Thank you for today. Give me the bags.”

Perhaps because she had been in a tussle with the man just now, there was a red line on her palm. At this moment, it was still scarlet red, and there was a faint bleeding appearance.

“Why is your hand so badly injured? You have to treat it.” Shen Jinye was speechless.

Her skin was very fair and sensitive. It was freezing outside, and her palm was swollen and purple from tugging at the shoulder strap. It looked very serious.

“It’s alright. I’ll be fine in a while.” Yu Manxi retracted her hand sheepishly. “Give me the things.”

“Do you have medicine at home?” Fu Sinian frowned.

“I still have to go downstairs later anyway. I’ll go buy some.” This was nothing to Yu Manxi.

“Come over first.” Fu Sinian walked out of the elevator and went straight to his condo.

Shen Jinye carried Yu Manxi’s things into the condo, so she could only follow him in.

“I’ll go paste the Spring Festival couplets.” Shen Jinye obediently took out the couplets and tape and left the living room.

Fu Sinian took out the first-aid kit and looked down at the person sitting on the sofa, examining her closely.

Yu Manxi lowered her head silently under his gaze.?I was so savage and violent just now. I’ve completely lost my image.

Fu Sinian sat down beside her, took an ointment, squeezed out some transparent paste, and dipped it with a cotton swab. “Give me your hand.”

Yu Manxi obediently extended her hand. A pair of broad and warm hands reached out and gently pressed against the back of her hand from the bottom. Her fingers were cold, while his palm was scorching hot, making her heart pound.

Actually, she rarely got this close to others, so she subconsciously wanted to retract her hand. Fu Sinian exerted force with his fingertips and held her hand gently so that he wouldn’t hurt her…

“Don’t move around.”

Yu Manxi felt that this hand was no longer hers. Even her heart had stopped beating, and she couldn’t move.

The ointment was cold, and when it was applied on her palm, the part where she had been scratched burned painfully. It would be a lie to say that it didn’t hurt, but…

No one had ever cared for her like this in her life.

She bit her lip, and her nose was sore.

Fu Sinian noticed that there were many small wounds on her hand, and there was even a burn mark on her wrist. Her hands weren’t even as well taken care of as his mother’s.

“Judging from your skills just now, have you practiced martial arts before?” Fu Sinian pinched the cotton swab and covered it in some ointment.

“Yes, I can only defend myself. It’s just fancy moves.”

Fu Sinian suddenly looked up at her. The two of them were very close at this moment, so she was caught off guard and fell into a pair of deep eyes. His breathing was slow, but it was scorching hot…

When it blew on her face, it was like the blooming of peach blossoms in spring. A faint layer of soft pink gradually dyed her face, and her ears were burning red as she lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

“It’s good to learn some self-defense.” Fu Sinian lowered his head and continued to apply medicine for her.

He thought that since she had left her home at a very young age and had been alone outside, she probably had no choice but to learn these things.

“In the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, you should run to places with more people.” After applying the ointment, Fu Sinian threw away the cotton swab, screwed on the lid of the ointment, and placed it in front of her. “Take this back with you. Apply once in the morning and at night.”

“Okay.” Yu Manxi turned her head to look at him.

He was dressed simply in black, and his sitting posture was straight and upright. Even when he wasn’t speaking, the nobility exuding from his bones was hard to ignore.

He had sharp eyebrows and thin lips. He was an elite and capable person. Even though he was restraining his emotions, his air of arrogance was wild and natural, seemingly having fused into his bones and blood.

Fu Sinian suddenly turned his head to look at her. “What are you looking at?”

“No-nothing…” Yu Manxi lowered her head and bit her lip. She felt a little embarrassed and flustered from being caught peeping at him.

“I’ll get Jinye to help you bring your things over. Go back after the ointment has dried.” Fu Sinian got up and put the first-aid kit back in place.

“Thank you.” Yu Manxi bit her lip, and there was an indescribable stubbornness in her eyes. “Are you going to celebrate the new year with your parents?”

“Yes.”

“That’s pretty nice…” Yu Manxi was about to speak when Fu Sinian’s phone rang. He answered the call.” Hello, Mom—

“… You don’t have to leave me any food. Jinye and I will be back soon. In an hour or so… Everything has been settled. It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry…”

Fu Sinian walked to the window to answer the call. Yu Manxi tilted her head and looked at his back. She lowered her head, picked up the ointment on the table, and walked out softly.

Shen Jinye was putting up a couplet at the side of the entrance when the door suddenly opened and almost knocked into him.

“You’re leaving already?” He was a little surprised.?So soon?

“Yes, help me thank your brother.” Yu Manxi slung the grocery bags over the crook of her arm and went back to her home with difficulty.

When Fu Sinian heard her talking to Shen Jinye, he turned around, but she had already left.

“… Sinian? Are you listening?” The other party didn’t receive a response and called out to him.

“Yes, I’m here.”

“Don’t forget to pass by the supermarket to buy some…” The other party was still chattering away, but Fu Sinian was a little preoccupied.

***

After Yu Manxi returned home, the condo was pitch-black. She closed the door without turning on the lights. Her body went limp, and she fell to the floor along the door.

She had heard many people talking about Fu Sinian at the police station today, and they had vaguely mentioned Old Master Fu…

She wasn’t a fool. There was only one person in the country who could be addressed respectfully as Old Master Fu. On the way back, she had checked on the Fu family. Even though the information wasn’t complete, Fu Sinian’s name still appeared. She had never thought that the eldest grandson of the Fu family would be so low-profile. He was completely unlike a son of a powerful family.

Her eyes grew slightly red as she sniffled.?The Fu family…

How am I worthy?

She bit her lip, her eyes dry and sore. She took a deep breath and forced back the tears that were about to fall.

“Meow—” The little kitten crawled out of nowhere, lay beside her legs, and rubbed against her.

Yu Manxi reached out to touch its head. “Niannian—”

“Meow!” The little kitten licked her palm and kept rubbing against it.

Yu Manxi reached out to hug it and listened to the activity outside quietly. Only when she heard the sound of the door closing next door and the entire building falling silent did she prop herself against the wall and slowly get up from the floor…

Looking out of the window, she saw thousands of brightly lit houses.

But not a single light was waiting for her.

***

After Fu Sinian returned, Fu Chen had already arranged a stack of documents and threw it to him.

He frowned slightly, surprised that there were so many.

“We haven’t found who’s behind it for the time being. The other party contacted that little thief through someone else. He didn’t want her life, just wanted to scare her. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on this side,” Fu Chen explained.

“Okay.” Fu Sinian nodded and opened the document. The first thing he saw was Yu Manxi’s life information. “This…”

“If you want to find out who’s targeting her, you definitely have to investigate her social background and life information. That’s all I could find. I think you need to take a look.” Fu Chen reached out his hand and pointed at the column about her life summary.

“It’s quite shocking. There are a lot of people involved. I’ve even heard about her story before. There are so many rumors in the capital that I thought it was fabricated by others, but I didn’t expect that this person really existed.

“Her information has been tidied up and altered. If you want to know more, you can ask your parents. They should know about what happened in that era, or you can call that guy. The Jing family has more ways to investigate people than me.”

“Okay.” Fu Sinian roughly glanced at the first page and immediately frowned.

“Take your time.” Fu Chen left after speaking.

“Third Uncle,” Fu Sinian called out to him.

“Mhm?”

“Don’t… with other people…”

“Don’t worry. I’m not that gossipy.”

“Thank you.”

Fu Chen snorted lightly. This was the first time Fu Sinian thanked him so politely and solemnly.
