Chapter 299 – Fu Tingyu Knew Her Preferences Like the Back of His Hand

When Qin Shu was leaving, Gu Yan stood on the balcony and watched her get into the car with his own eyes. Even though he didn’t see her facial expression, he could guess that she had gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she walked as if nothing had happened so that Ye Luo would not be able to tell that she had been injured.
After the car left the villa, Gu Yan turned around and walked into the room.
Gu Yan sat on a rosewood chair and brewed a new pot of tea. He kept thinking about the scene when he removed the bullet for Qin Shu.
Qin Shu couldn’t feel the pain because of the local anesthesia.
However, the effect of the anesthesia had faded by the time she was leaving. That kind of pain was not something that an ordinary girl could withstand.
Moreover, all women liked to look pretty. Qin Shu’s beauty would be diminished with the scar on her leg when she wore skirts or shorts.
Gu Yan felt even more guilty when he thought of that. Qin Shu was the woman Fu Tingyu cared for the most. He would not allow her to be scolded by others, much less be hurt.
She had been shot at this time and there was now a bloody hole on her flawless leg.
Fu Tingyu would be heartbroken if he saw that.
The more Gu Yan thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He hesitated whether or not to tell Fu Tingyu that his woman had been hurt because of him.
His brows creased tightly.
After much consideration, Gu Yan still did not know whether to inform Fu Tingyu about what had happened. He went to make up a medical prescription to let himself calm down. He will think about this again when he calms down.

Bright Garden-
Qin Shu stared at her injured leg looked for a while. Her loose pants covered the injury well. The injury could not be seen if she did not lift the leg of her pants.
The man was so smart. If she suddenly wore long pants and pajamas, he would definitely ask her about it.
Moreover, her walking would definitely be affected by the injured calf. The man would definitely question her if he saw it.
Knock Knock
Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Qin Shu raised her head to look at the tightly shut door and saw Ning Meng pushing the door open and walking in.
If she had not met Ye Luo in the courtyard, Ning Meng would not have known that Young Madam had already returned.
When she pushed the door open and saw Qin Shu sitting on the sofa, the corners of her lips curled up. “Young Madam, are you hungry?”
Qin Shu remembered that the northern snakehead soup was very effective for wound healing. She said to Ning Meng, “Get the chef to make northern snakehead soup. I want to drink that.”
Ning Meng smiled and nodded. “Sure. I bought a few northern snakehead yesterday and have kept them in the kitchen. What else would you like to eat?”
“Just the northern snakehead soup. Make one for dinner too.”
Qin Shu wanted her wound to heal as soon as possible. She did have the scar removal cream, but she had to wait for the wound to heal.
Ning MEng was stunned. Since when did Young Madam like northern snakehead soup so much?
But Young Madam said she wanted to drink it, so she must definitely want to drink it.
“Then I’ll get the chef to make the northern snakehead soup now.”
Ning Meng said before turning around and walking out with light steps.
It had been two hours since the northern snakehead soup had been stewed.
Ning Meng filled a bowl with the northern snakehead soup and walked into the room. She placed it in front of Qin Shu and even specially introduced the bowl of soup.
“Young Madam, this is the essence of the northern snakehead. It was simmered over low heat. Drinking one bowl of it is worth three bowls anywhere else.”
The northern snakehead soup was very fishy.
Qin Shu had smelled it when Ning Meng brought the soup in. The fishy smell of the soup was even stronger now that it was placed in front of her.
Although Ning Meng had introduced the soup in detail, Qin Shu still did not like it. However, she gritted her teeth and finished the bowl of soup in front of her so that her wound would heal quickly.
After Ning Meng took the empty bowl and left, Qin Shu could still feel the fishy taste in her mouth. She hurriedly stood up, not caring about how ugly her walking posture was. She quickly went into the bathroom and tried not to use too much of her right leg when she walked.
She walked to the sink, picked up the electric toothbrush, twisted open the cap of the toothpaste, and squeezed a little toothpaste on her toothbrush. Then, she stuffed the toothbrush into her mouth and started to brush her teeth.
After brushing her teeth, she washed her face with water.
Qin Shu only walked out of the bathroom when she could not taste the fishy taste in her mouth.
She did not care about how she walked when there was no one else around. She just walked in a manner that did not hurt her right leg.
She would try her best to walk normally when there were people around. If anyone notices anything, she would just say that her foot was numb.
And this other person was Ye Luo.
She went out to look for Boss and met Ye Luo. Those who learned martial arts had sharp eyes.
She gave a perfunctory reply, and Ye Luo did not think much and left.
Qin Shu did not dare to linger outside. When she found Boss, she carried him back to the bedroom.
It was not until dinner time that Qin Shu came down from the bedroom on the second floor. She took the lead to sit at the dining table and wait for Fu Tingyu.
Fu Tingyu came back from the company. When he walked into the dining room from the living room, he saw the girl sitting at the dining table with a very obedient expression on her face.
He first went to wash his hands. Then, he walked to the dining table and sat down.
Housekeeper Shi had already ordered someone to start serving the dishes.
Ning Meng brought the northern snakehead soup over and placed it in front of Qin Shu.
Fu Tingyu glanced at the northern snakehead soup in front of the girl and frowned. “Take the soup away. The fishy smell is too strong.”
Fu Tingyu’s deep voice was too intimidating. It startled Ning Meng and she quickly went forward to take the soup away.
Qin Shu heard this and quickly waved her hand. She lied and said, “No need. I think the fishy smell is fine. It’s not that strong.”
Fu Tingyu looked at the girl and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. “I thought you didn’t drink northern snakehead soup?”
Qin Shu explained, “I didn’t like it in the past. But it’s alright now, so I want to try it.”
Fu Tingyu didn’t say anything else. There was no need to stop her as long as she wanted to drink it. Moreover, there was no harm in drinking the northern snakehead soup.
She felt that drinking the northern snakehead soup in front of a man was better than drinking it in secret. That was because she would have to explain herself if she were discovered drinking it in secret. This would cause the man to suspect her.
Qin Shu scooped up a bowl of northern snakehead soup and drank it with a white porcelain spoon. She treated it as if she were drinking chicken soup, ignoring the fishy smell that assaulted her nose.
Fu Tingyu’s pitch-black eyes stared at the girl. He watched as she drank mouthful after mouthful of the northern snakehead soup as if she liked it very much.
But he remembered very clearly that she did not like to drink northern snakehead soup. Not only did she not like it, but she also despised it.
But she was drinking it now?
Qin Shu felt the man looking at her. She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her in confusion. “Why aren’t you eating?”
Fu Tingyu’s gaze was fixed on the girl’s eyes that looked as if they could talk. The corners of his lips curled up. “I was stunned when I saw you.”
Qin Shu did not expect the man to answer her like that. She lowered her head and continued to drink the soup. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the man had changed. Especially that mouth of his, it had become especially seductive.
Fu Tingyu saw the girl lowering her head. She was obviously a little embarrassed. He did not look at her anymore. He picked up the chopsticks on his right and began to eat slowly.
When the man stopped staring at her, Qin Shu didn’t feel as guilty. After drinking the northern snakehead soup, she looked at the delicious dishes in front of her. All she could taste was that fishy taste and she lost all her appetite.
She picked up her bowl and filled up half of the bowl with rice. She was afraid that if she didn’t eat, the man would definitely ask why she wasn’t eating.
She forced herself to eat the half bowl of rice.
Qin Shu felt relieved after dinner
The next problem was that if she went upstairs with a man with her injured calf, she would definitely walk a little differently than normal. He would still notice something even if she tried to pretend that all was fine.
