Chapter 208 Confession

At Hengshan Xiaozhu, Fu Yushu's attitude made Fu Yuhua really want to leave and never pay attention to this self-righteous guy again.

But when she heard the news of Fu Yushu's injury, the worry and anxiety that swept over her made it impossible for her to really make the difficult decision to take the plunge.

If Yuan Jing's death was an insurmountable chasm between the two, then the feeling of relief that Fu Yuhua felt upon hearing the truth was the deepest, most hidden secret in her heart.

After leaving the sanatorium, Fu Yuhua kept sorting out her complicated emotions, and then she had to admit a fact: all the boyfriends she had dated, and even the feelings she suddenly had for Li Zhu that quickly disappeared, were because they all had some resemblance to Fu Yushu.

Because of the similarities in one or two places, she couldn't help but approach those people.

But it was precisely because of this similarity that, after realizing the emotions in her heart that were not tolerated by morality and ethics, she quickly withdrew from these people and fell into deep self-condemnation.

Then he could only constantly remind himself that Fu Yushu was his enemy, that he owed his mother and brother two lives, in order to keep himself sober and suppress those inhumane feelings.

But everything changed because of that wiretapping incident.

She was no longer a child of the Fu family, and Fu Yushu had nothing to do with the deaths of Yuan Jing and her son.

The cage that had imprisoned the beast within collapsed in an instant. After the helplessness and confusion came the frenzied rebound and spread of emotions. Everything from the past reappeared before my eyes. The feelings that had been forcibly suppressed seemed to sprout anew and grow lush and verdant.

Even now, Fu Yuhua was still furious at Fu Yushu's deception, but the six years of misalignment and grievances were defeated by the scar that almost pierced her palm, ultimately stopping her from leaving ruthlessly and instead making her take the initiative to walk towards him.

“You must have noticed the listening device on Fu Hongyuan’s armchair, right? I planted it.” Fu Yuhua looked at him, no longer hiding anything. “So, I heard everything you, Fu Hongyuan, and Cheng Lusheng said. I only have one question for you: What Fu Yuqi asked you, was it true? Do you like me, or not?”

“Huahua…”

“Perhaps I should be clearer—” Fu Yuhua cut Fu Yushu off directly to prevent him from making excuses, “Fu Yushu, is your affection for me the kind a man has for a woman? If I were willing to marry you, would you marry me?”

Even though Fu Yushu had considered countless possibilities, the moment Fu Yuhua uttered her last words, he couldn't help but widen his pupils and suddenly look at her.

"You only need to answer me yes or no. And yes or no. Don't worry, I, Fu Yuhua, am not the kind of person who pesters others. If you give me a negative answer, I will not pester you."

Fu Yuhua spoke firmly and resolutely, showing no shyness or embarrassment as a girl who had spoken first.

Everyone has their own way of living.

She lives by pursuing what she likes and asking questions when she doesn't understand.

Fu Yushu slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Fu Yuhua's eyebrows and eyes. It was a tangible touch that was completely different from the one in his dream. He had carefully sculpted every contour in his memory, but never before had it felt so illusory yet real.

"I should be the one saying that. If I wanted to marry you, Huahua, would you be my wife?"

The voice, usually calm and steady, reveals a subtle tremor upon closer listening.

Fu Yuhua's heart skipped a beat. As if thinking of something, her upper eyelids twitched slightly. "What if I say I don't want to?"

"Then... I'll let you go."

Fu Yushu's hand gradually slid down to her chin, his thumb gently caressing it. "Even though this is nothing to be happy about, if only one of us can be safe, happy, and content, then I want that person to be you. Huahua, you should be a free bird, flying towards your own blue sky and mountains."

Fu Yuhua looked at Fu Yushu, a strange unease rising in her heart.

The avoidance of the topic, the attempt to change the subject, and these words carrying a sense of parting were not things that the Fu Yushu she knew would say.

Whether he was the eldest son of the Fu family in the past or the current head of the Fu family, beneath his seemingly calm and composed exterior lies an understated confidence and arrogance, as if everything is under his control.

Unless something happened that she was unaware of, something even someone of Fu Yushu's status couldn't control...

"Has something happened to the Fu family?"

Fu Yuhua suddenly spoke.

To keep up with the schedule, the filming on set was done overtime. Song Ying was working non-stop all day long. She could only drink a little water during the break between scenes, and she didn't dare to drink too much. First, it was troublesome to touch up her lipstick, and second, the bathroom was a bit far away, and going back and forth would take up a lot of time.

After working non-stop all day, she finally got to have a few scenes that weren't hers to film, so she could get some rest.

Assistant Xiaolu brought over a backpack, unscrewed the bottle cap to hand Song Ying water, and took out two small bread rolls for her to eat and drink. After eating and drinking, she picked up her phone to see what Qin Shu had posted today, but instead saw that several unfamiliar missed calls had been blocked.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry often encounter situations where their privacy is exposed. Not to mention phone numbers, even their ID cards, plane tickets, train tickets, home addresses, etc., are frequently dug up by sasaeng fans. There have even been cases where someone knocks on a celebrity's window late at night, scaring the celebrity so much that they dare not open the curtains for a month.

Given Song Ying's current popularity in the industry, and the fact that she is the owner of SY Entertainment, there are many people who want to pry into her privacy. Even with strict precautions, some still slip through the net. Last month, she received several harassing phone calls.

Originally, she could have just changed her number, but Song Ying had been using her phone since she got a cell phone. Changing her number would mean changing all the apps and accounts linked to her phone, and it would also be inconvenient for work. So she set up a blackout feature, and with Qin Shu having someone make special settings for her number, she has had very few calls from unknown numbers this month.

After replying to Qin Shu's message, Song Ying was about to swipe to delete the blocked messages when she accidentally tapped on one of the numbers and dialed it directly.

Song Ying: ...?

Just as he was about to hang up, the other end answered immediately, "Teacher Song?!"

Song Ying felt the voice was somewhat familiar. She thought for a moment, "...Xiao Qiong?"

"Yes, it's me!"

Why would Fu Yuhua's assistant call her for no reason? And several times in a row at that.

Song Ying frowned subconsciously, as if she had just thought of something. "Has something happened to Yu Hua?"

"Sister Yuhua is out of danger now. Mr. Fu came over. I called you this afternoon, but I couldn't get through. I guessed you might be busy, so I went to find Mr. Fu..."

Xiao Qiong quickly recounted the whole story, and Song Ying finally understood what had happened. She breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm quite busy today, so my assistant usually doesn't answer calls from unknown numbers. Luckily, Yu Hua is alright. I'll save your number. Are she and Fu Yushu at the hospital right now?"

Xiao Qiong nodded, somewhat nervously, "Mr. Fu's hand is injured, quite seriously. Sister Yu Hua's wound isn't deep. The two of them are talking in the ward right now. Mr. Fu's assistant just came out from inside. The ward door is closed now, so it's just the two of them inside. I don't know anything else."

Xiao Qiong knew Fu Yuhua's purpose in returning. The former siblings had become enemies, and no one knew what would happen after they met.

But the fact that Fu Yushu was willing to risk everything to save people suggests that he probably wouldn't harm Sister Yuhua.

But Fu Yuhua...

"Teacher Song, do you think Sister Yuhua would take advantage of Mr. Fu's weakness and make a move against him?"
