Chapter 44
Ever since leaving Courtyard No. 1 that day, Su Yin hadn't seen Xie Lingxu for three consecutive days.
He goes out early and comes back late every day, and never goes back to the No. 3 Courtyard to eat. He stays outside all day and you can never see him.
This matter was so unusual that even the thick-skinned Gu Qian'an noticed something was wrong.
"Young Sect Master, did you have a fight with the Dean? Why haven't you seen the Dean recently?"
As everyone knows, wherever the young master appears, a wild dean will be randomly refreshed.
This is the consensus reached by everyone in the nursing home during this period.
But during these three days, Gu Qian'an went to Courtyard No. 3 every day, but he didn't see the dean even once!
It's obvious that something has gone terribly wrong!
"No." Su Yin thought back to their last meeting. Not to mention a quarrel, she even saw Xie Lingxu smile. Who knew that he seemed to be hiding from her afterwards.
I don’t understand, a man’s heart is like a needle in the sea.
"Why aren't you here if there's no quarrel?"
Gu Qianan glanced through the window at the empty office and said with certainty, "Something must have gone wrong somewhere."
He asked to the side: "Zhiyin, what do you think?"
"Hmm...ah?" Tian Xiao looked up blankly, her expression confused, clearly out of place. "What did you say?"
"I said there must be something wrong between the dean and the young master." Gu Qian'an repeated it in a clear voice.
"...Dean and Young Sect Master..." Tian Xiao unconsciously repeated what he said, forcing herself to be alert. "Is there a problem?"
Gu Qianan: "Given their current state, there must be something wrong! As for what the problem is, I can't think of it, so I came to ask for your opinion."
Tian Xiao shook her head, "I don't have any ideas either."
Gu Qian'an was perceptive for once, "Zhiyin, you don't seem to be in a good state recently."
Under normal circumstances, he would not have the chance to notice any abnormality between the young sect leader and the dean. As long as there was any sign, it would be accurately captured by Tian Xiao's radar.
And now…
He saw the bruises under Tian Xiao's eyes and her absent-minded look, her eyes full of suspicion.
Why are these two things not right?
Su Yin was originally thinking about Xie Lingxu, but when she heard this, her attention turned to Tian Xiao.
Indeed, just as Gu Qian'an said, Tian Xiao has been acting strangely these past two days, often distracted and listless. Su Yin had asked her before if she had trouble sleeping, and she still had the sleeping pills that Xie Lingxu had prescribed for her.
But Tian Xiao refused, evading the question and not saying what had happened to her in the end, so Su Yin didn't dare to force her to tell him anything.
She could only suggest: "You look very tired, why don't you go back and sleep for a while?"
"No, no." Tian Xiao shook her hand, regaining consciousness slightly, and then asked, "What happened between the Young Sect Master and the Dean?"
Su Yin: "Nothing happened."
Tian Xiao asked again: "Is it because of the man in Courtyard No. 1?"
Before Su Yin came back from Yard No. 1, the two asked her what happened inside, but Su Yin did not give a direct answer, only saying that the person inside was indeed seriously ill.
This time, Su Yin denied it again, "It has nothing to do with her. Something did happen in Courtyard No. 1, but I asked Xie Lingxu, and he wouldn't get angry with a patient."
"What's that because?" Gu Qian'an couldn't figure it out.
After these days of contact, he felt that although the dean looked cold and scary, and was also scary when angry, he was not the kind of person who would alienate others casually.
"I don't know." Su Yin shrugged, even more confused than the two of them. Who knew why Xie Lingxu was smiling one second and then ignored them for three days the next.
Tian Xiao: "Maybe men have those days every month."
"Is this true?"
Why doesn't he have it?
Gu Qian'an was puzzled, and seeing that the young master and Zhiyin both looked thoughtful, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he could only cross his arms and doubt himself.
Isn't he a man?!
Gu Qian'an frowned deeply. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He was almost confused, but still couldn't figure it out.
For a moment, the yard became quiet again. Everyone was thinking about their own things and no one spoke.
"Knock knock"
A knock on the door broke the silence, and the assistant's polite voice sounded outside the courtyard gate.
"Is the Young Master here?"
Su Yin: "Come in."
"Good afternoon, Young Sect Master. Do you have time to visit Mr. Fu today?" The assistant asked with a smile. After asking, he glanced into the office and said very naturally, "Is the Dean available right now?"
In Mr. Fu’s experiment, the dean is also an indispensable part, and the stimulation brought by the two people together is greater.
Su Yin: "He's not here, and I don't know where he is. I'll go with you alone."
"Ah? The dean is not here?" The assistant was surprised. The dean was always by the young master's side, but this time he was not here.
He couldn't help but look into the room, somewhat unconvinced, but due to the good professional habits of the chief assistant, he quickly restrained his actions.
In Su Yin's eyes, this gesture of wanting to look but not to look was even more noticeable.
She felt puzzled. Why did these two people act as if her and Xie Lingxu's separation was a big deal? They were not conjoined twins, so it would be strange if they were together all the time.
"Since he's not here, I don't need to go to Fu Yan's place?"
"Of course not." As the assistant was answering, a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly realized it.
In the current situation, isn't it that the Young Sect Leader wants to be alone with President Fu?
This is the opportunity!
He quickly made a 'please' gesture and said excitedly: "Young Sect Master, please come in, President Fu is waiting for you!"
Su Yin stood up from the recliner, straightened the folds of her clothes, and said leisurely, "Let's go."
Without going out, he turned around and told Gu Qian'an and Tian Xiao: "I'm going to the second courtyard. Don't stay there like an idiot. Go back and have a rest. Especially Tian Xiao, go back and sleep a little longer. You have dark circles under your eyes."
The assistant listened and was surprised that the young master was quite considerate.
I didn't sigh for two seconds before I heard the considerate young master ask, "How did your Mr. Fu get that disease?"
He quickly pulled himself out of his other emotions, put on a classic smile, and practiced Tai Chi with her, "Young Sect Master, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"The person who tied the bell must untie it. You always want to rely on outsiders to stimulate the disease, but you don't even know the source of the disease, how can you cure it?"
In her previous life, Su Yin was gifted and curious. In addition, the Xiaoyao Sect was full of defectors from both the righteous and evil sects, and each of them had different martial arts. She had a teacher on the left and a master on the right, and she learned everything. She had dabbled in all kinds of martial arts, so she knew a little bit of everything.
This included medical knowledge, though she was more interested in poisons than healing people. However, she understood the basic principle of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The root cause of Fu Yan's illness was the most important thing to cure.
The assistant's smile turned ugly for a second, and he avoided answering. Coincidentally, they had already arrived at the gate of Courtyard No. 2. He opened the door and welcomed the person in, but he didn't hear what he said before.
How could I possibly tell an outsider such a secret as the reason why my boss fell ill?
Su Yin saw through it but didn't say anything, nor did he pursue it. After all, it was their own business.
She walked briskly into Fu Yan's office, and the assistant quietly closed the door behind her, leaving the two of them alone in the office.
As soon as she entered, a tall figure pressed her against the wall.
"Woman, I heard that you rejected me for an outsider?"
Fu Yan supported himself against the wall with one hand and pinched Su Yin's chin with the other, forcing her to look up at him.
His deep eyes were fixed on the eyes of the woman in front of him, trying to find evidence of her emotional betrayal from those clear black pupils.
Suyin: ...
She sighed softly as usual, not seeing any sign of improvement in his condition.
Fu Yan frowned, very dissatisfied with her reaction, "Why don't you say anything? Answer me!"
Su Yin stared at him intently for two seconds, then rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled, "Yes, I went to Courtyard No. 1 first, and came to your place three days later."
Not feeling it was enough, she added fuel to the fire: "It was your assistant who reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."
Fu Yan didn't expect her to answer like this. He said in an extremely disappointed tone, "I've been too indulgent with you. I made you forget who you are."
"No." Su Yin broke free from his hand that was pinching her chin, stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of his eyes, "You weren't good enough to me, so I didn't know my own identity."
Fu Yan: “?”
"Tell me, what is my identity?"
"Of course, she's my woman!"
"That's right!"
Su Yin snapped her fingers. "Since I am your woman, and your woman chose someone else between you and someone else, you should reflect on your own problems!"
"Is it because you didn't do well enough that you gave others the opportunity to steal your girlfriend?"
Fu Yan: “?”
A trace of confusion flashed through his dazed mind, as if something was wrong.
But this hint of confusion was quickly suppressed by Su Yin's voice, "Think about it, if you give me enough sense of security and let me fully experience your kindness, will I still think about others?"
"Or does Mr. Fu feel that he's not strong enough, and the benefits he gives wholeheartedly... ahem, really can't compare to what others give?"
Fu Yan subconsciously denied it, "How is that possible!"
How could the dignified CEO of Fu Group be inferior to others?
Seeing that there was hope, Su Yin continued, "Right? You said it's impossible, so what does that mean?"
Fu Yan: "What?"
"That means you weren't good enough to me before!" Su Yin looked at him with sparkling eyes, almost making it clear.
Fu Yan always felt that something was wrong, but when he saw her eyes that were as bright as stars, all his thoughts disappeared. He just followed her and asked, "So, how do you want me to treat you well?"
"Mr. Fu, why do you need someone to teach you even this?" Having said that, Su Yin still showed a foxy grin of success.
Looking at her, Fu Yan curled his lips slightly, "My woman is no one else's."
Yoho.
Su Yin raised her eyebrows slightly. Although he didn't look very smart, his appearance was still very alluring.
She hooked her hand, catching Fu Yan's gaze, then suddenly grabbed his tie, pulling him towards her, and whispered in his ear, "Be good to me. There's a very simple shortcut."
Fu Yan lowered his head cooperatively, and what he saw was a piece of porcelain-white skin, smooth and delicate, more translucent than the mutton-fat jade he had bought at a high price at the auction. There was also a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he asked in a low, hoarse, magnetic voice, "What?"
Su Yin: "Join my Xiaoyao Sect."
Fu Yan: “?”
It's already like this, why bother telling him to listen to this?
