Chapter 139 Mr. Xi, it was Gu Xingnian who was being frivolous!

The club was in complete chaos.

Lin Qi strode out from inside, stood next to Fu Beichen, and lowered his voice: "Mr. Fu, is there anything we need to do?"

Fu Beichen's profile was cold and hard. His gaze swept over the swaying light and shadows, and his tone was as indifferent as the March breeze: "You don't need to do anything."

He paused, then added, "Let's go."

After saying that, he strode out without looking back. Once outside, he took off his coat and threw it into the trash can. The woman's smell disgusted him.

At this moment, the search team kicked open the doors of one private room after another.

When they rushed into Zhan Xiao's room, they saw him lounging lazily on the sofa, with a charming beauty nestled to his left and another beauty feeding him wine from a glass to his right.

The air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol and perfume.

The head of the bodyguards recognized the person on the sofa, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he quickly waved his hand: "Excuse me, excuse me, Master Zhan, please continue."

The group slunk away.

Not long after, Zhan Xiao, with two beauties in his arms and surrounded by bodyguards, swaggered out of the club.

His men drove the car directly to the most luxurious hotel in the city center.

Inside the top-floor luxury suite, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the city's dazzling lights.

Gu Xingnian stood barefoot in front of the cold glass, her mind replaying the intimate interaction between Fu Beichen and that strange woman in the club. He was going to stay in Maduli to "accompany" her for three months!

There was also the "hero saves the beauty" scene he and Mr. Xi performed.

Every detail pierced her heart like needles, causing a dense, persistent pain.

Sheng Weiwei came out of the bathroom, still damp from her shower, and gently hugged her from behind, resting her chin on Gu Xingnian's slender shoulder.

"Niannian, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault today. I almost got you into trouble." Her voice was filled with guilt. "Luckily, you were wearing that self-defense ring, otherwise..."

Gu Xingnian raised her hand and gently patted the hand wrapped around her waist, her voice a little hoarse: "Weiwei, it's not your fault."

Sheng Weiwei sighed, pressed her cheek against her hair, and said in a muffled voice:

"Niannian, let's get rid of this man. Since he has a new target, let's not linger on him."

She was trying to persuade her to give up.

Gu Xingnian lowered her eyelashes, her thick lashes casting a small shadow under her eyes.

A voice inside her was saying: Yes, we can't afford it anymore.

Fu Beichen, from now on, may your paths diverge and your lives become extraordinary.

You go your sunny path, I'll cross my narrow bridge!

Fu Beichen had just returned to the villa at this moment.

He sneezed without warning as soon as he entered the room, rubbed his nose, and frowned.

Back at the villa, the bed in the second bedroom was empty.

The hands of the watch on his wrist pointed to ten o'clock.

Where did Gu Xingnian go so late?

Fu Beichen took out his phone and dialed Gu Xingnian's number.

The phone rang persistently, over and over again, but no one answered.

His heart sank little by little.

A bodyguard strode in and reported in a low voice, "Mr. Fu, Madam left around 7:00 a.m. She took a taxi by herself and didn't say where she was going."

"Alone?" Fu Beichen's tone suddenly rose, the unease in his heart instantly amplified, burning him with intense anxiety.

He growled, "Find them! Find them all!"

Around ten o'clock, Lin Qi walked in hurriedly.

"Mr. Fu, we've found your wife's whereabouts."

Fu Beichen suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot: "Speak!"

"Madam went out for drinks with Miss Sheng last night, along with... Zhan Xiao. Later, Zhan Xiao took them back to the hotel."

Upon hearing the word "hotel," Fu Beichen's tense nerves relaxed slightly; at least he was safe.

However, Lin Qi's next words made his heart jump into his throat again.

"Mr. Fu, they went to Mandu!"

Fu Beichen's hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly, his knuckles turning white.

“Mandu?” He repeated the place name, a strong sense of foreboding instantly gripping him.

Another sleepless night. The next morning, as soon as Fu Beichen came downstairs, his phone vibrated.

He answered the phone, and Xinuo's shrill, tearful voice came from the other end: "President Fu! My brother... he's been poisoned! The doctor said... the doctor said there's no hope! Waaah—"

Fu Beichen's face darkened, and he grabbed his coat and headed out. "I'll be right there."

We boarded the bus and headed straight for Mr. West's castle.

After learning more about the situation, Fu Beichen came out of the castle, his expression softening somewhat.

Lin Qi approached and asked cautiously, "Mr. Fu, are you... really going to date this Miss Xi?"

Fu Beichen's thin lips pressed into a straight line as he coldly uttered three words: "Impossible!"

However, now is a good opportunity.

He said coldly, "As long as I help Xilin detoxify, I can force Xinuo to disappear on his own."

Lin Qi was somewhat puzzled: "But the doctors all said..."

“That poison is the Seven-Colored Brocade.” Fu Beichen interrupted him, his tone certain. “I know who can cure it.”

Just then, Lin Qi's phone beeped.

He clicked on it, his face changed drastically, and he cried out, "Mr. Fu, something terrible has happened! Madam... Madam and Mr. Sheng, they're coming back to China! They're already at the airport!"

The atmosphere around Fu Beichen instantly plummeted to freezing point. He practically gritted his teeth as he squeezed out the words: "To the airport!"

When they arrived at the airport, Sheng Weiwei and Sheng Chengjun were hugging, seemingly saying goodbye, and were about to board the plane.

"Niannian!" Fu Beichen rushed over anxiously. "You can't leave."

He spoke first.

Sheng Weiwei got angry as soon as she saw him. "Fu Beichen, how dare you show your face here?"

Gu Xingnian said calmly, "Let me talk to him."

Once they reached a relatively quiet corner, Fu Beichen spoke first, "Are you going back to Haicheng?"

"Mr. Fu, are you not planning to go back and stay here for a few more months?" She seemed to be implying something, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

His heart skipped a beat. What...did she know?

“You can’t leave!” he commanded. “You promised to take care of me, and you can’t go back on your word.”

“Mr. Fu, if you really need someone to take care of you, I can hire 10 nannies for you.”

Gu Xingnian exuded a cold aura, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Niannian, have you misunderstood something? I can explain it to you, as long as you don't leave."

In his haste, he grabbed her wrist, but dared not use force.

Gu Xingnian didn't struggle. "Fu Beichen, don't try to keep me. You can't keep me."

Her eyes were filled with despair, and her tone was indifferent, making it hard to listen to.

"Didn't we make up?" he asked, somewhat bewildered. "Didn't you stop hating me?"

Why be so indifferent?

"Yes, we've reconciled, but I don't want to stay by your side anymore." She turned to leave.

"Gu Xingnian, can you help me save a friend?" he asked in desperation.

She paused, knowing perfectly well who she was trying to save. "A friend?"

"That's right, he's been poisoned. They say doctors have a benevolent heart, and only you can save him."

He immediately resorted to moral blackmail, and seeing her hesitation, he added more pressure, "If you save him, I'll agree to let you leave."

Gu Xingnian took a deep breath. What a fine example of a doctor's benevolence.

Yes, she wavered.

Finally, she saw Sheng's father off and returned to the villa with Fu Beichen.

As soon as they got out of the car, Fu Beichen reached out and hugged the person tightly. Heaven knows how nervous he had been.

At this moment, Gu Xingnian was like a puppet, expressionless and terrifyingly cold.

Tell me, what happened? Why did you leave?

Yes, he wanted to communicate with her; this kind of passive-aggressive behavior was too much for him.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Her voice remained cold, devoid of emotion, which was infuriating.

He was taken aback, then said gently, "After some time, I'll go back with you."

At this moment, Lin Qi walked in and said, "President Fu, Miss Xi is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful Xinuo walked in. When she saw Fu Beichen holding a woman, her eyes flashed.

Fu Beichen continued to hold Gu Xingnian, showing no intention of letting go.

"This must be Miss NOVA, nice to meet you. I'm Xinuo." She greeted her warmly, her eyes fixed on Fu Beichen's hands.

Gu Xingnian nodded and pried Fu Beichen's large hand off.

"Mr. Fu, didn't you say that someone could cure my brother's poison? Let's go quickly," Xinuo urged.

Gu Xingnian asked casually, "Miss Xi's brother is Mr. Xi, isn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen was taken aback.

“That’s right, as long as you can save my brother, I’ll pay any price.”

Xinuo nodded, displaying an air of wealth and power.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired today. I'll go tomorrow," Gu Xingnian replied coldly, then added, "Don't worry, your brother will still be alive tomorrow."

Xinuo immediately lost his temper, his face assertive, "What do you mean? I want you to come with me now."

Fu Beichen shouted, "Show them out!"

Lin Qi immediately walked in and asked the annoying Xinuo to leave.

Gu Xingnian asked calmly, a hint of incomprehension and resentment in her eyes, "Do you really want me to save him? Even though he bullied me?"

This is a potentially disastrous question.

"Actually, he wasn't really... disrespectful to you that night," Fu Beichen mustered his courage to confess.

"Do you know why he was poisoned? Do you know who poisoned him?"

Fu Beichen's pupils shrank instantly, and his scalp tingled.

She was... the waitress who was sexually harassed by Xi Lin!

Lin Qi overheard this while turning the corner, and was so frightened he dared not breathe! He couldn't break this deadlock!

"Niannian." Fu Beichen's throat tightened, and he spoke with difficulty, his face burning, never having been so embarrassed.

"It's not what you see. I have no relationship with that Miss Xi. It was just a fling!"

Gu Xingnian chuckled softly, a hint of cold mockery in her voice, "I never knew that President Fu was such a skilled actor!"

She paused, her voice as soft as a feather, yet it struck him deeply, "But it's okay, I won't take it seriously anymore!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Gu Xingnian".

"Star Thoughts".

"Nian Nian".
