Chapter 215 Married

When Fu Yushu came out of the hotel arranged by the inspection team, he immediately saw Fu Yuhua waiting not far away.

It was already late November, and the temperature in the capital was lower than in the southern city. Fu Yuhua was wearing a white down jacket and a red knitted scarf, which made her fair skin appear even more striking. Wrapped in vibrant colors, her face looked noticeably thinner.

In contrast, Fu Yushu, who had been under the constant surveillance of the inspection team but only brought a few changes of autumn clothes, was even thinner than her, but her complexion was as normal as ever, and it was impossible to tell that she had spent more than twenty days under high pressure.

Fu Yushu stopped a short distance in front of her, wanting to reach out and touch Fu Yuhua's face, but after slightly raising his hand, he realized something and lowered it again, finally uttering only three words:

You've lost weight.

"You seem to be eating quite well." Fu Yuhua scoffed, giving Fu Yushu a cold look. "We've been worried sick outside, unable to eat or sleep, but you haven't changed at all."

In this case, there is no change; it's no different from gaining weight.

The rare pity that Fu Yuhua felt vanished the moment she saw Fu Yushu.

You worried for nothing.

Sure enough, as soon as Fu Yushu uttered the words "I know what I'm doing," Fu Yuhua immediately retorted, "Yes, yes, you know what you're doing, so would it kill you to say a few more words? Trying to act like an expert by not saying anything? Is that cool?"

"..." Fu Yushu was stunned for a moment by Fu Yuhua's words, but wisely chose to shut up, though a strange pleasure rose in his heart.

The way she would point her finger at him and yell at him when she was unhappy—the Fu Yuhua in front of me completely overlapped with the girl I remembered who was pampered and spoiled growing up.

He was most afraid that she wouldn't be angry or care.

"I'm sorry," he apologized sincerely.

Fu Yuhua's long-held worries and anxieties, as well as the grievances she had felt in these past few days, all turned into a barrage of rebukes, which she vented without any restraint.

Fu Yushu's gaze was sincere. After apologizing, he stood quietly looking at her, a gentle smile on his lips. Sunlight shone on his face, shimmering brilliantly. Standing in the light, he seemed to have become a beam of light himself. Fu Yuhua's lips curled into a half-sentence of complaint and reproach, but she suddenly couldn't continue.

Who could bear to say such unpleasant things in front of such a beautiful face!

It's all because beauty misleads people.

Fu Yuhua inwardly berated herself, then took out her warm hands from her down jacket pockets and reached out to grab Fu Yushu's hands, which were hanging by his sides.

The moment their fingers touched, warmth and coolness mingled in the air, causing Fu Yushu to stiffen slightly, as did Fu Yuhua.

That was a completely different feeling from holding hands while crossing the street as a child.

However, Fu Yuhua quickly pulled Fu Yushu closer to her with force.

“The Fu family is gone, Fu Yushu, you are now a penniless pauper. Considering that your Fu family once adopted me and that you were kind to me for a while, now there is an opportunity for me to be your sugar daddy. So, tell me whether you will accept or not.”

Fu Yuhua tried her best to act like a lustful pervert, but the words just didn't come out of her mouth with any real force.

Fu Yushu chuckled softly, and as the two held hands, he put Fu Yuhua's hand back into the down jacket pocket, then withdrew his own fingers.

Fu Yuhua's expression finally changed. "You don't agree?"

"If there's an opportunity to be a kept man, who would want to work?" Fu Yushu said lazily, his appearance making Fu Yuhua momentarily dazed, and a thought inexplicably arose in her mind:

He really has a talent for this line of work.

The former head of the Fu family was unaware that, in someone's imagination, he had inexplicably acquired a male escort rating.

“My hands are cold,” Fu Yushu explained. “You’re most afraid of the cold, so don’t let them get cold.”

"I'm happy to!" Fu Yuhua's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster with Fu Yushu's words. She swiftly reached out her right hand and grasped Fu Yushu's slender fingers, then forced him to interlock his fingers with hers. "Now I'm your sugar daddy, and you have to listen to everything I say!"

Fu Yushu's gaze fell on their clasped hands. In the sunlight, the girl's neatly trimmed nails resembled delicate pink seashells. He smiled gently and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Come with me." Fu Yuhua pulled the person towards the parking lot, opened the door and shoved the person into the passenger seat.

After arriving at the mall, Fu Yuhua led the person into a suit store.

"This is……"

"Tomorrow is Aying and Qin Shu's wedding, so I dressed you up nicely so you wouldn't embarrass me."

As she spoke, Fu Yuhua went to the men's clothing section and picked out several suits, along with ties and leather shoes. She then shoved them all at Fu Yushu, saying, "Take these and try them on."

The shop assistant noticed the couple's distinguished air about them and smiled ingratiatingly, "Miss, you have excellent taste! Your husband is handsome and tall; these would definitely suit you perfectly!"

Fu Yuhua glanced at him. "He's not my husband—I'm his sugar daddy."

The shop assistant paused, regretting that she had said the wrong thing, but couldn't help glancing at Fu Yushu.

Fu Yushu noticed the other person's prying gaze, but instead of feeling ashamed of being "kept," she raised her eyebrows as if she were very proud.

"Did you hear that? My sugar daddy, it's mine."

Shop assistant: ...I knew it was yours! So what if he's just a kept man? What's so great about that? You look so smug, like someone's trying to take him from you.

But upon seeing Fu Yuhua again, the shop assistant became envious.

Actually, being kept by such a young and beautiful rich heiress doesn't seem so bad... It's just that although I'm fairly handsome, I'm still a bit lacking compared to this duck-headed guy.

As a fellow man, the shop assistant felt very frustrated at that moment.

Fu Yuhua was unaware of the shop assistant's ulterior motives.

All her attention was drawn to Fu Yushu, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

In Fu Yuhua's memory, Fu Yushu, now an adult, had never dressed like this before. The only time he wore a bow tie was during his high school graduation ceremony when he gave a speech as an outstanding student representative. That photo, since it circulated online, has almost become worn smooth by netizens.

Fu Yuhua was naturally also deeply impressed.

In contrast, Fu Yushu now exudes the composure of a mature man. His style is completely different from his previous traditional Chinese robe, yet he remains so handsome that it's impossible to look away, and one might even want to tear off his tie to explore further.

Fu Yuhua quickly banished the increasingly distorted images from her mind, and before blushing, handed the card to the shop assistant, "I'll take all of these sets I just tried on."

Shop assistant: ...Another day of envy, jealousy and resentment.

Handsome men always have a captivating power.

In less than an afternoon, Fu Yuhua's purchases filled the entire trunk, and even the back seat space wasn't spared.

Along the way, many people thought Fu Yushu looked familiar and couldn't help but stare at him. Some even came up to him without any sense of boundaries and asked if he was the Fu Yushu from Nancheng.

Before Fu Yushu could speak, Fu Yuhua blocked him away: "Married, with a child, you are not allowed to covet her."

Fu Yushu also cooperated perfectly, standing shyly behind Fu Yuhua: "I'm married, please don't disturb me."

Others: ...You're crazy!

Who was the former head of the Fu family in Nancheng? How could he possibly look like this delicate young man! It's definitely a case of lookalikes!

After bringing the person back to the apartment, Fu Yuhua entered Fu Yushu's fingerprint into the door lock. "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first. Help yourself to the things in the car, you know the way, right?"

"Yes, it knows the way, it won't pick up trash to eat when it's hungry, it will use an umbrella when it rains, and it can even go to the toilet by itself."

Fu Yuhua: "...?" You're sick!

Fu Yushu's lame joke earned him a big eye roll, but it reminded Fu Yuhua of something else—Fu Yushu hadn't eaten a single bite of food during their walk.

Fu Yuhua had little appetite, and after thinking it over, she finally decided to go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of instant noodles for Fu Yushu.

The bedding was already prepared. Watching Fu Yushu move things and pack, Fu Yuhua stood at the open door, knocked on the door, and pointed to the coffee table.

"I'll eat instant noodles myself. I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow morning, get dressed and come with me to the Qin family for the wedding."

Before Fu Yushu could respond, Fu Yuhua turned and went back to her room.

Fu Yushu walked out of the room, looked at the closed door, then walked to the coffee table, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

After poking the fried egg at the bottom of the bowl, he looked up at Fu Yuhua's door, and the smile on his lips widened again.

That was a feast unlike anything seen in the past thirty years.
