He slowly got out of bed, and despite feeling very uncomfortable, he made sure to tidy up the place where he had just slept.
Only when I was satisfied did I turn and leave.
Just as he was passing Su Yuxi, he suddenly stopped. His silver-white hair fluttered in the breeze and landed on her face.
"I'm going out at noon today."
After leaving those words, he walked unsteadily toward the door.
Su Yuxi leaned against the door frame, her fingertips gently stroking it, her eyes following the slow-moving figure. A small pang of guilt welled up in her heart. The person was so sick that even walking was difficult. Was she being too cruel just now?
She wanted to go over and help him up, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She could only watch him walk downstairs step by step until he sat down comfortably on the sofa on the first floor before she could close the door with peace of mind.
Taking care of him is one thing, but it doesn't include sleeping with him.
After washing up in the bathroom, Su Yuxi changed her clothes and went downstairs to make breakfast.
She was a bit lazy today, so she just cooked some porridge, made some shrimp dumplings, and two bowls of noodles...
When she finished making the food, someone was already waiting there without her even having to call out to them.
He's good for nothing but eating.
Su Yuxi divided the food into two portions, deliberately avoiding his vulnerable gaze, and focused on eating what was in her own bowl.
Although Fu Huaijin was still very weak, he had miraculously recovered a lot after last night. He didn't know why, but at least he was no longer controlled by that feeling of powerlessness. He picked up his spoon and quietly ate the porridge in his bowl.
Su Yuxi would occasionally glance at him, and seeing him eating as usual, she immediately gave up the idea of helping him, and simply slowed down to eat breakfast with him.
It took the two of them nearly half an hour to eat such an ordinary breakfast.
After she finished packing, Fu Huaijin changed into a casual suit and carried two exquisitely packaged gift boxes, which looked like she was going to give them away.
Su Yuxi took a bite of an apple, glanced at him, and asked suspiciously, "Are you going out?"
"Okay, you drive me there." He handed her the gift box, instructing her as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Su Yuxi remembered her duty, picked up the items, opened them, and saw another box inside. She didn't know what was inside, but it looked expensive: "Couldn't you have a bodyguard or driver deliver it?"
It's so sunny outside, you'd be roasted alive if you went out. Wouldn't it be better to stay home, watch TV, and sleep? Why do you have to run around everywhere?
Fu Huaijin coughed lightly, feeling a heavy sense of weakness enveloping him, and skillfully took out his phone to transfer money to her.
After successfully topping up her account, Su Yuxi's complexion immediately changed from gloomy to bright and radiant, and her smile was incredibly sincere: "Okay, Mr. Fu, please wait a moment, I'll go get the car right away."
It's better to transfer money to her than to lay out a whole bunch of reasons with her.
Su Yuxi walked out cheerfully carrying two gift boxes, her steps light and quick, every strand of her hair telling others that she was in a good mood today.
Earning 100,000 yuan by delivering someone early in the morning is easier than picking up money on the street.
She followed Fu Huaijin's instructions and sent him to a large manor in the suburbs.
Once inside, I realized how huge this place is. A small house occupies the entire mountain. As far as the eye can see, there is a beautiful landscape with clear waters, verdant peaks, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, as beautiful as a paradise.
Su Yuxi gently turned the steering wheel, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Where is this? It's so beautiful."
There are several luxurious houses in front, and there are also many security guards and garden maintenance staff. Although she likes it, maintaining this place would be a huge expense.
Fu Huaijin rested his face on his hand, gazing calmly at the scenery outside the window. Hearing the envious tone in the voice beside him, he looked away and stared at the small face: "Do you like it here?"
The air and scenery here are indeed excellent, and since it's all professionally maintained, it's bound to be quite nice.
Su Yuxi pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and told him to figure it out for himself.
She parked her car in a shady spot under a tree. As soon as she stopped, she eagerly opened the door and got out. Several butterflies and flowers flew around her.
Driven by her playful nature, she fluttered her little hands like a happy little bee towards the butterflies, her face beaming with joy.
Seeing that she hadn't opened the car door for him for a long time, Fu Huaijin had no choice but to open the door and get out of the car himself.
The butler, who had been waiting at the door to greet him, was startled to see that the young master had parked his car far away. He quickly opened his umbrella and hurried over.
"Young Master Huaijin, you've arrived. The old lady has been waiting for you since early this morning."
Hearing the sound, Su Yuxi stopped struggling and walked to his side on her little legs.
"I've dropped you off. My mission is complete. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
The butler then noticed that there was a lady present. He quickly scanned the woman he had never seen before and immediately noticed the large black spot on her face. He then quietly looked away, maintaining a polite smile throughout.
Fu Huaijin lowered his head to meet her gaze: "You've taken Chu Juan's money, so you need to take care of me personally."
She's now earning two salaries, so just because he doesn't say anything doesn't mean she can pretend to be stupid and fool him.
"If you leave, it means the work isn't finished, and the money has to be returned..."
Su Yuxi's expression immediately crumbled, every pore screaming resistance.
Deducting money? How could she possibly give him the chance to deduct money? Her expression changed instantly. She took a few steps closer to him, her expression awkward: "Actually, I don't have anything to do. Let's go inside. I'll take you back after you're done."
Fu Huaijin glanced at her, knowing that this was the only thing that could make her stop and run away. He took the parasol from the butler and held it high, leading her inside.
The butler was left utterly shocked.
He had lived most of his life and had never seen his young master hold an umbrella for anyone before. Today he had witnessed it firsthand, but the man's appearance was a bit... He didn't know what to say, so he just shook his head and followed their steps.
As soon as the two entered the gate, they saw an elderly woman with white hair excitedly running out from inside.
"Oh my, my dear grandson is here! Let Grandma see if he's lost weight." The old lady excitedly circled around Fu Huaijin several times, touching him up and down to check for any injuries. Her eyes were filled with heartache that she couldn't hide.
"Have you been eating properly? You've lost weight in the past month. How have those people been taking care of you? How did you still lose weight?"
Fu Huaijin stood up straight and let her look him over without any impatience. When he met the old lady's gaze, his expression was very gentle, just like an ordinary family's obedient grandson.
"Grandma, I haven't lost weight."
Su Yuxi glanced at him disdainfully; he hadn't lost weight and was still incredibly strong.
“You’ve lost weight everywhere. You’ve lost so much fat in your face. I’ll have Aunt Mei make your favorite braised pig’s trotters and steamed shrimp. You have to finish them today, or you’re not allowed to go back.”
