Ch 103: Saving Yourself For Another Man?

Noticing the terror in her eyes, Fu Tingchuan averted his gaze, his voice flat: “Startup company work pressure is very high. You’re too thin, there’s a risk of sudden death, which is very unfavorable to Zhi He.”

Lin Yuxi was both angry and amused.

Is it necessary to stare at her chest because she’s too thin? Besides, she’s just a small assistant; if she dies suddenly, she dies. He even cares about the Pacific Ocean.

“Mr. Li has many talented subordinates; he doesn’t need one more assistant.”

“He doesn’t need one more, but cultivating someone also costs money.” Fu Tingchuan said, directing the waiter to bring up the last dish.

Lin Yuxi let out a long breath and bargained, “Mr. Fu, we’ve finished eating. You can state your requirements now.”

Fu Tingchuan remained silent.

This appearance probably means he absolutely needs her to agree to be his bed partner.

Lin Yuxi got up to leave and, stepping back, bumped into a waiter.

The waiter’s tray held health-preserving soup, which spilled all over. Luckily, the tray was large enough to block some of the hot soup; Lin Yuxi’s sweater was only slightly injured.

The still-warm liquid seeped through the gaps, causing some stinging pain on her back.

At this time, Fu Tingchuan had already strode over, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the nearby toilet.

Befitting a top-tier private restaurant, even the toilet was fully furnished; the bathtub was easily big enough for five people.

Lin Yuxi was stunned when she suddenly felt a cool water flow down her neck and into her sweater.

She flinched from the cold.

Fu Tingchuan held the shower head, setting the water temperature to the lowest, his tone laced with anger: “Lin Yuxi, when will you change your impatient habits?”

“Where am I impatient?” Lin Yuxi retorted without thinking.

It was clearly he who was being a troublemaker.

No, why did he say that?

Before she could figure it out, Fu Tingchuan had begun to list her past misdeeds: “Eating a birthday cake, you can develop an allergy; running 800 meters, you can trip and injure your knee for a month. If that’s not impatient, what is?”

Lin Yuxi was silent.

These seemed to be facts.

At a university class reunion, she didn’t see the fruit in the cake clearly and accidentally ate mango, causing her respiratory tract to swell to the point of almost suffocating.

As for the 800 meters…

Forget it, let’s not mention the dark history.

But it’s strange; how could Fu Tingchuan remember so clearly?

His brain is certainly extraordinary.

The cool water had already seeped into her underwear and pants. Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth and persisted for five minutes, unable to endure it any longer, and turned to remind him, “It’s enough.”

She knew it wasn’t very serious.

If it were serious, her skin would definitely be numb.

“Burns need to be rinsed with cool water for more than half an hour. Aren’t you usually smart? Is that smart brain only for work?”

Fu Tingchuan’s tone was harsh, seemingly harboring great resentment towards her impatience.

Lin Yuxi was speechless and gritted her teeth, persisting for another five minutes.

“Re-really, it’s enough.”

Her clothes were completely wet.

The current situation and the people present were really awkward, okay?

Fu Tingchuan turned off the water, reached out, and patted her cheek from behind.

“Take it off, let me see.”

Lin Yuxi’s eyes widened.

Through the clean glass mirror, she saw his expression was extremely calm; the previous words seemed to be a hallucination.

“You…”

“What, did your hand get burned off?”

Lin Yuxi was even more certain that this man had been driven crazy by her recently.

Peking University’s high-ranking flower, the school’s top student admired by thousands, was actually so sarcastic in private.

Although she knew that severe burns could cause skin and clothing to stick together, but…

“Get out, I’ll do it myself.” Lin Yuxi reached out to push him away.

This push landed on his abdomen.

She quickly retracted her hand.

The heating in the room was turned up high; Fu Tingchuan was only wearing a thin white shirt, the powerful feeling still lingering on her fingertips.

Lin Yuxi inexplicably recalled the night they were together. She was inexperienced and helpless, and Fu Tingchuan noticed. He kissed her while pulling her hand around his waist.

It was the same touch sensation.

Someone knocked on the toilet door and passed in an ointment.

Fu Tingchuan took it and chuckled teasingly, “If you didn’t want me here, you should have turned around when you bumped into the waiter.”

Lin Yuxi was completely speechless today, gritting her teeth slightly, “I have someone I like; you being here isn’t appropriate.”

Before she finished speaking, Fu Tingchuan pulled out a pair of scissors from somewhere and cut open her sweater from bottom to top.

Lin Yuxi suddenly raised her voice, “This sweater is very…”

“Send me the price.” Before she could finish, Fu Tingchuan had already skipped over the conflict and cut open her inner tank top from bottom to top.

His actions seemed to carry jealousy.

Lin Yuxi suspected she was seeing things.

Fortunately, this tank top wasn’t expensive, so she could make him pay a lot.

Actually, she had wanted to continue saying that she already had a child with another man, but Fu Tingchuan didn’t know she already knew, so she closed her mouth again.

The cold white light illuminated her skin, adding a filter, making her skin look like jade; only her back shoulder was slightly red.

The burn wasn’t serious.

Fu Tingchuan squeezed out some ointment, placing his fingertip on her wound and applying it in circles. The pressure was neither painful nor itchy; Lin Yuxi hugged her arms, her scalp tingling slightly.

Weren’t they supposed to be getting a divorce? Why did things turn out this way, not to mention the awkward situation?

“Don’t want to be a new era woman; planning to remain pure for another man?” Fu Tingchuan suddenly said.

Is that even relevant?!

Distorting facts, confusing right and wrong.

For the first time in her life, Lin Yuxi discovered that she couldn’t argue with him. His reserved nature was all fake, wasn’t it?

“You’re not picky.”

Usually so obsessed with cleanliness, but in bed, he’s not obsessed with cleanliness.

Fu Tingchuan didn’t defend himself, his gaze falling on the mirror; the scar on her abdomen was strikingly obvious.

It’s hard to imagine how much blood she lost.

If she hadn’t survived, what would she have done with the child, leave it to Shen Mochen?

Who knows if Shen Mochen would remarry? Then her child would have a stepmother. Hah, she actually had the courage to gamble on a man’s conscience.

Lin Yuxi felt embarrassed, lowering her head, not noticing his gaze.

A few minutes later, someone knocked again, delivering a tank top, a sweater, and pants of the same color, with underwear mixed in.

Lin Yuxi’s cheeks flushed slightly.

She recognized the brand.

A niche Nordic brand, focusing on comfort and skin-friendliness; the price seemed to be even higher than the monthly rent of Fenglin Community.

But she remembered Fu Tingchuan’s words and said unkindly, “I can’t send you the price.”

The last time she went to the Group’s top floor to get Hao Hao, he blocked her.

“It’s been unblocked, you fool.”

Lin Yuxi widened her eyes, looking at him incredulously.

This guy must have a brain freeze.

Fu Tingchuan finished treating the burn, put her clothes on, and returned to his seat.

The waiter had remade a serving of warm health-preserving soup and brought it to the table.

Only Lin Yuxi had one.

She glanced down; she hadn’t seen clearly before. It was called health-preserving soup, but most of it was blood-boosting ingredients: red dates, longan, goji berries, eggs, and some others she couldn’t identify.

Her stomach was full.

Lin Yuxi shook her head, “I can’t eat any more. Can I pack it to go?”

Fu Tingchuan didn’t allow it, glancing at the steamed pot in front of her, his demeanor calm.

“Drink it; I’ll supply it.”
