She picked up the meat in the bowl again, but before she could even put it in her mouth, suddenly, with a 'smash,' the water glass on her left fell to the ground without warning.
The crisp sound of shattering glass instantly attracted many curious glances from those around.
A nearby waiter reacted quickly and jogged over, his voice tinged with urgency and concern: "I'm sorry, are you hurt, sir? We'll arrange for cleaning right away."
They were worried that the guests might cause trouble, so they left two people behind to calm them down. The cleaners also quickly came out and cleaned the glass.
It took less than three minutes from breaking the glass to cleaning it up.
In the end, the restaurant gave the frightened customers a free salad, and no one really minded.
Although the things on the ground were cleaned up without leaving a trace, Su Yuxi's eyes kept involuntarily looking towards that spot, her heart inexplicably tightening, and a sense of unease rising within her.
"Are you alright?" Hu Chichi noticed that she was frequently distracted, and out of concern as an older sister, she put down her knife and fork and stood up to see what was wrong with her.
"It's alright, go ahead and eat." Su Yuxi smiled and gave her a reassuring look. Only then did Hu Chichi sit down and continue eating. During this time, she kept glancing at her. When she didn't notice anything unusual, she focused on eating.
After finishing their meal, the two returned to the suite. George had already been kicked out, and now only the two of them were left in the room. Everything seemed so harmonious.
Hu Chichi found her a set of clothes and threw them at her: "Go on, wash up and go to bed."
Su Yuxi caught the clothes that she threw at her with precision. Instead of getting up immediately, she held them in her hands and stared blankly at the clothes in her hands. Her dark pupils seemed to reflect the shadow of a person.
She bit her lip, raised her head, and said timidly, "Sister Chichi, I want to go back tonight."
Upon hearing this, Hu Chichi stopped tidying her clothes, turned around and glanced at her. The little girl had her head down, looking like she had done something wrong, and dared not meet her eyes.
She gazed meaningfully at the top of his dark hair for a while before speaking, "Okay, I'll take you back later."
"No need, no need, I drove myself." She had stood her sister up; she didn't dare trouble her to take her back.
Hu Chichi didn't insist and silently escorted the person downstairs.
When he saw her get into that limited edition supercar, he raised an eyebrow and was surprised for a few seconds.
This car isn't something just anyone can buy; it's not only a symbol of wealth, but also a testament to the extraordinary power and status of its owner.
But clearly, the girl didn't know that.
She watched the supercar disappear into the darkness of the night, and began to wonder who the man who was raising her daughter was.
"Honey, honey, your sister's gone. Can I come back now?" George, who had been chased away, suddenly appeared from some corner. Seeing that Su Yuxi had left, he hurriedly came out to intercept her, otherwise he would have to stay alone in his room all night if she ran away.
Hu Chichi snapped out of her reverie, looked at the man who was as obedient as a big puppy, her red lips curved slightly, and she gave him a flirtatious wink. Her slender fingers slowly climbed up his shoulder, inching their way to his tie, and with a slight tug, the man pounced on her and pulled her into his arms, chuckling foolishly.
When Su Yuxi got home, it was already past nine o'clock at night. The living room light was still on, so the people inside were obviously still awake.
She stood at the door, having prepared her excuse, before gently opening the door and going inside.
I expected to see Fu Huaijin's cold face, but when I entered, I was greeted by a quiet living room; he wasn't there.
However, it's still early, so they might not even be in their rooms yet.
She tiptoed upstairs again, first checking her own room, but the person wasn't there.
He then went to check the study, but it was pitch black inside, and the person was obviously not there.
She quietly walked to Fu Huaijin's room, pressed her ear against the door, and listened intently to the sounds inside.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything. I don't know if the person wasn't there or if they were just too disgusted.
Staring at the dark door, I hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went back to my room, picked up my phone and called him.
The first call went unanswered, but the second one was answered, though it was Chu Juan who answered.
Where is Fu Huaijin?
Chu Juan sat in front of the computer looking at the test results. The data wasn't optimistic, and his frustration deepened. He said to Su Yuxi, who had suddenly left that evening, with a hint of annoyance, "He's with me. Do you want to come over?"
"She doesn't need to come over."
Before Su Yuxi could answer, Fu Huaijin directly refused.
Su Yuxi clearly heard the cold, emotionless voice from the other side.
Is this a rejection of her past?
Are you angry because she didn't come home tonight?
This man...
Since she was being given the cold shoulder, she wasn't going to bother with that attitude: "Fine, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuxi threw herself onto the bed and angrily punched it twice.
She should have known better than to come back. Wouldn't it have been better to stay at Sister Chichi's house? It's all her fault for overthinking. She had a feeling that something might happen to Fu Huaijin, so she rushed back, only to find that he wasn't even home and didn't appreciate it at all.
She took out her phone, wanting to call Wan Qianqian to vent and share her happy moments of the day.
As a result, no one answered after several attempts.
This girl is now more difficult to see than the emperor.
In the end, she could only share her joy with her ceiling.
When Fu Huaijin woke up the next day, he still hadn't returned.
Wan Qianqian still couldn't get through on the phone, so she idly scrolled through her WeChat Moments and saw that Sister Chichi had posted a bunch of photos again. The time was still 3 a.m., and judging from the wild scenes, she knew how crazy she was having. The man holding her in his arms wasn't the one from the hotel.
All she could say was that Sister Chichi had a really rich nightlife. She had wanted to ask her to go shopping, but she figured she had probably just gone to sleep, so she didn't want to bother her anymore.
For a moment, she felt like she was the only one left in the world, everyone else was busy with their own things, and she was just idly watching TV.
Just as lunchtime was approaching, the door was pushed open. Su Yuxi stood up happily, but when she looked up, she met Fu Huaijin's weak, cold, and distant eyes. Her smile froze instantly, and her enthusiastic greeting became much softer: "You're back."
"Hmm." Fu Huaijin subconsciously wanted to hide his hands, but remembering that he was already wearing gloves, he forcibly suppressed the movement and simply replied with a cold "hmm."
After responding, both remained silent.
Chu Juan followed him in and helped him to sit down on the sofa.
The servants had already set out the food.
Su Yuxi sensed the awkward atmosphere and changed the subject: "Have you eaten? Would you like some?"
Fu Huaijin shook his head: "I won't eat."
Chu Juan did not make a move.
Filled with suspicion, Su Yuxi glanced at the two of them. They didn't move an inch, so it seemed they really didn't intend to eat anything.
She walked toward the dining table, glancing back every few steps. She felt that Fu Huaijin was acting strangely today. In just one night, it seemed as if an invisible barrier had appeared around him, preventing anyone from peeking at him or touching him.
Did something happen last night?
