Fu Huaijin walked to the sofa, sat down, leaned back lazily, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and responded with a nonchalant "Mm".
He didn't see anything wrong with it; on the contrary, the environment here made him more comfortable at night. However, compared to Su Yuxi, this place was still better.
Su Yuxi was unaware that her research had caught her eye. After looking around, she curled her lips in disgust and subconsciously wagged her tail to express her dislike. However, remembering that Fu Huaijin had almost noticed something was amiss earlier, she forced herself to suppress the habitual little movement.
This man is too perceptive; we must be careful.
"Where's my room?" She wanted to find a place to hide and come out when it was time.
Fu Huaijin opened his dark eyes, tilted his head to examine her outfit carefully, and stared blankly for a moment. He felt that something was wrong with Su Yuxi. Today, her resistance was too obvious. Her actions and words revealed her eagerness to escape from him, as if she was afraid that he would find out something.
"What are you looking at?"
"I...I need to rest." Su Yuxi couldn't find an excuse, so she made one up without caring whether it was convincing or not.
"Where are you?" Su Yuxi felt very uncomfortable under his gaze and wanted to find a place to hide. The place was big enough, but there was nothing to hide behind. She had nowhere to hide, so she could only try her best to calm herself down and not let him see through her.
But this man was so slow and indecisive that she gradually lost her composure. She thought that if things didn't work out, she would just go outside for a walk, which would be better than staying in the same space with him.
"Hmm." Fu Huaijin withdrew his gaze, slowly got up from the sofa, and led her to the third floor in the elevator.
There are several rooms on the third floor. One of them has a door that is completely black, with an extremely ugly color and the largest panel. It is undoubtedly the room that belongs to Fu Huaijin. The one next to it is not bad... Although it is also black, it is still more pleasing to the eye than the one next door.
As soon as she pushed open the door, Su Yuxi was taken aback by the space inside. This room was almost twice the size of Chu Juan's, but the unique decoration and layout left her speechless.
Is black, white, and gray stuck to him? He can't shake it off no matter where he goes.
The thought of living in this environment from now on made her feel uncomfortable. In order to have a better mood in the future, she walked up to Fu Huaijin, looked directly into his dark eyes with her fox-like eyes, and weakly made a suggestion: "Can I rearrange this place?"
Fu Huaijin was puzzled. He carefully examined the entire room, and to him, the color scheme was just right. He could see straight through the room and it gave him a peaceful and comfortable feeling.
However, it's not very appealing to girls who like bright colors: "Okay, you can just tell the housekeeper later."
Su Yuxi clapped her hands, a smile spread across her face, and her tail wagged happily twice before quickly freezing in place.
Fu Huaijin is extremely perceptive of his surroundings; he can detect even the slightest fluctuations.
He stared intently at the real tail, wanting to reach out and touch it.
Su Yuxi stiffened under his intense gaze, feeling a pang of regret. She wanted to slap herself across the face, wondering why she couldn't control herself.
"Well... this is my room now, you... you go and rest, I'll tidy up."
There wasn't really anything to fix; I just made up a lie to get him away. If I kept watching, I was afraid he'd notice something amiss.
Fu Huaijin knew he couldn't push her too hard, so he told her to talk to the housekeeper if she needed anything, and then turned and went back to his room.
Once the large room was completely hers, Su Yuxi's shoulders instantly lost all support and collapsed, her smile vanishing completely.
Dragging her heavy, limp body, she rushed to the bed, slammed down on it, and buried herself under the covers like a child seeking refuge, letting out a furious scream.
During this time, she tried to retract her tail again, but this time she managed to keep it retracted for five minutes longer than before, which is a good sign.
She thought that the effects of the medicine in her body might be weakening, and the time it would take for her tail to retract would also be longer. Once the effects of the medicine had completely dissipated, she might be able to fully recover.
This made Su Yuxi even more determined not to drink the medicine. But then the smell of the medicine wafted in from the balcony, and her resolve was suddenly struck dumb, leaving her head buzzing.
No one knows how much she suffers.
Desperate to make her life a little easier, she rubbed her hands together, stormed out of her room, and followed the smell to the place where the medicine was being brewed.
Chu Juan was teaching the family doctor how to brew medicine when he glanced up and inadvertently caught sight of Su Yuxi, whose face looked grim.
He seemed to see murderous intent in her eyes.
With an aura that was not to be underestimated, Su Yuxi strode up to him. When she met his questioning gaze, her lips trembled twice. She thought she was about to scold him, but the next second, her fierce eyes immediately fell, her face was strained and her eyes were pitiful. She pleaded with him, "Brother Chu, Dr. Chu, could you stop the medicine for two days? Your medicine is too bitter. Can you give me a break for two days?"
She already had a plan in mind. If Chu Juan disagreed, she would use her charm to bewitch him and make him listen to her, and get as far away from her as possible.
Looking into her sparkling eyes, Chu Juan thought something was wrong, and finally sighed, "Okay, I'll give you two days off."
Su Yuxi got the answer she wanted, and her heart seemed to burst into brilliant fireworks. She happily spun around in circles. The nimble fox tail behind her accidentally brushed against the back of his hand. Chu Juan knew about these things and just assumed that the tail had moved automatically.
Although they are quite soft and nice-looking, it's not appropriate to wear them all the time: "Why don't you go and change these clothes? Uncle Yang should have brought them all to your room by now."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be going now." She wouldn't care about the clothes; she wanted to buy several more sets.

That night, in order to protect her tail, Su Yuxi endured the humiliation and hugged Fu Huaijin from behind until the strangeness in his body gradually subsided. Without anyone saying anything, she took off running, the kind of runaway run that money couldn't call back.
It was midnight, and all was quiet. Su Yuxi, who should have been asleep, did not go to sleep that night. Instead, she quietly came out of her room, found a car key, and secretly drove off.
She thought no one had noticed, but in fact, from the moment she opened the door, Fu Huaijin next door had sensed it. He stood in the shadows like a voyeur, watching her take the keys, watching her drive away, until she disappeared into the night.
Su Yuxi drove the car out of the manor without incident. The car body cast a long shadow under the dim streetlights. Inside the car, her little tail wagged happily. Ever since she saw that news today, she has been unable to calm down and planned to take advantage of the dark night to move her precious child out.
Those are real gold and white diamonds; no woman wouldn't want that.
Lu Yunzhou will definitely need to buy jewelry for his wedding. Since I've been gone for so long, he might be eyeing my jewelry.
