Qin Shu came out of the villa and walked on the cement road. Unknowingly, she came to the ginkgo tree by the balcony.
She raised her head. Several months had passed and the ginkgo tree’s leaves had always been golden yellow. With the arrival of autumn, the leaves began to fall one by one.
The fallen leaves under the tree were cleaned by the servants every day. However, there were still many leaves on the ground.
Ye Luo walked over with a document bag. “Young madam, the evidence has been obtained.”
Qin Shu turned around when she heard that. She knew when Ye Luo walked over because Ye Luo did not soften his footsteps.
Ye Luo handed the document bag in his hand to Qin Shu.
Qin Shu glanced at the document bag in front of her but did not take it. She looked up at Ye Luo. “Find a suitable time to send it to Qin Hai.”
Ye Luo retracted his hand. “Okay.”
Qin Shu walked around and didn’t see Boss so she asked casually, “Where’s Boss?”
Ye Luo said, “On the top of the tree.”
“…” Qin Shu replied, “Why did it go to the top of the tree?”
Ye Luo remained expressionless. “It’s afraid that I’ll snatch its dried fish.”
Dried fish was Boss’s snack. The last time, Ye Luo took the dried fish and tempted Boss for a long time. However, he didn’t give it to Boss in the end.
Therefore, whenever Boss had the chance, it would secretly eat it.
This time, it took advantage of Ye Luo’s carelessness and took the whole bag of unopened dried fish and put it on the tree to prove that it was able to feed itself with its own effort.
“Boss is getting smarter and smarter.” Qin Shu couldn’t help but laugh. Boss knew that Ye Luo wouldn’t be able to catch it if it climbed up the tree.
Ye Luo: … It was getting greedier and greedier.
Qin Shu didn’t bother with Boss. Boss was simply provoking Ye Luo by doing this.
She raised her head and continued to look at the ginkgo tree in front of her. This tree had been growing for quite a few years.
Six o’clock in the evening
Qin Shu had been waiting outside the entire time. She saw a tall figure walking in through the Moon Cave Door. It was six o’clock and the sky had already darkened. The street lamps in the garden had also lit up.
The slightly yellow light shone on the man’s handsome outline. The silhouette formed looked extremely perfect.
He was a product of God’s special treatment. No amount of adjectives could describe his stunning beauty.
The man seemed to have also seen her and his footsteps slowed down.
Qin Shu strode over. Her footsteps were a little hurried. Ever since she learned that he had gone to Gu Yan’s place, she had been anxious to see him.
Gu Yan had already told her about the general situation but she still wanted to see him with her own eyes. She wanted to know how he was doing?
He had already stopped walking as if he was waiting for her.
She walked in front of the man, raised her head, and looked at his face. They were standing right under the street lamp so she could see the man’s face clearly. His complexion was a little better than before but it was still a little too white.
The man suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. He said in a low voice, “Babe.”
Qin Shu replied, “Yes, I’m here.”
“The poison in my body has been purged.” The man’s voice was very low.
“It’s a good thing that your poison is gone. I’m very happy.” Qin Shu was really happy about this. Being healthy was better than everything else.
As for his combat strength, she could wait for it to slowly recover.
She also believed that his combat strength would return to its original peak.
“Yes,” the man replied.
From the man’s low voice, she knew that he was still sad about the weakening of his combat strength.
She wanted to raise her head from the man’s chest but unfortunately, her head was pressed down by the man’s big hand. She could not raise her head so she could only lower her head and press against the man’s chest. She said, “Let’s go in. Dinner is ready.”
“Okay.”
The man let go of the hand that was holding her head. Instead, he held her hand and walked in the direction of the dining room.
Ning Meng placed the dishes on the table.
Qin Shu followed the man and washed her hands before sitting down.
Fu Tingyu picked up the chopsticks on his right-hand side and glanced at the dishes in front of him. They were all relatively mild in taste but he didn’t have much of an appetite. However, in order not to let the lady notice his strange behavior, he still picked up the food and slowly ate the rice in his bowl.
Qin Shu also ate a little absentmindedly. She could only pretend that she didn’t know anything regarding this matter.
The man must hide the news that the value of his martial art had weakened and not let the public knew about it.
Otherwise, Fu Tingyu would definitely be in danger.
As for not letting her know, there were many reasons too.
After dinner
When Fu Tingyu went upstairs, he instructed, “If you’re tired, go to bed early. Don’t wait for me.”.
“Okay. After you’re done with work tonight, come back early to rest.” Qin Shu watched the man’s back view as he left. She pursed her lips and turned around to return to the master bedroom.
At night
There was only a table lamp in the study. The light was very dim
In front of the dark brown desk, the man’s tall and straight figure was sitting on a leather chair. His hand was resting on the armrest of the chair. There was a cigarette between his fingers. The flame was flickering.
A faint green smoke came out from the corner of his mouth.
Once the poison was cured, it meant that he could continue to stay by Babe’s side.
As for his promise to let her go, he regretted it.
From the moment he said it, he had regretted it.
When he thought of the lady leaving him, it felt as if a piece of his body had been forcefully peeled off. He felt that blood was dripping down his body. It was extremely painful and difficult to breathe.
The man put the cigarette to his mouth, took a deep breath, and slowly blew out the smoke.
However, his martial strength was gone. He was like an ordinary person now. He could not even deal with a bronze-rank fighter.
How could he protect his Babe?
He still needed to rely on others to protect him!
Fu Tingyu clenched his fists tightly. His gaze was dark and cold. He could not imagine himself becoming a weakling, a weakling who could not even protect himself.
Until late at night
Fu Tingyu didn’t know how many cigarettes he had smoked but his throat felt dry. He looked down and glanced at the time on his watch. It was already three o’clock in the morning.
He stood up but he didn’t go back to the master bedroom to take a shower. Instead, he took a shower in the lounge.
When he came out, he only had a pure white towel around him. His wet hair was half-dried by the hairdryer.
The traces of soaking in the bathtub that day had disappeared.
The man was tall and slender. His muscles were well-defined and flexible.
His waist was thin. He was the kind of person who looked thin in clothes and looked fleshy when he took off his clothes.
He opened the study door and walked out.
After walking for a while, he came to the door of the bedroom. He gently pushed the door open and walked into the master bedroom. Only the bedside lamp was lit. It emitted a soft light.
He closed the bedroom door and looked at the bed. The lady was already asleep. He walked straight to the bed, lifted the blanket, and laid down beside the girl.
After lying down, he off the bedside lamp and the bedroom fell into darkness.
He turned sideways and pulled the lady into his arms, pressing her head against his chest.
His pitch-black eyes blended into the darkness. When he thought of the lady’s attitude toward him when they first met, he whispered, “Babe, why didn’t you like me back then?”
The man pursed his lips and continued, “Is it because of my bad character?”
Qin Shu, who was pulled into the man’s embrace, heard a strong heartbeat. Her eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened them. She could hear the man’s whisper. If they were not close enough, she would not have been able to hear what the man was saying.
