Chapter 219 Let's have some fun together
Just a few seconds of deliberation.
Fu Beichen raised his hand and knocked on the door again, but there was still no answer.
He turned around abruptly, strode forward, and walked towards the elevator without looking back.
The hem of the trench coat traced a cold, hard arc.
"Let's go to the capital."
The commanding voice, cold and harsh, echoed in the empty corridor.
Gu Xingnian heard the footsteps outside the door finally fade away.
The oppressive feeling that almost crushed her dissipated.
Her heart, which had been pounding in her throat, finally settled back into place.
I was completely exhausted.
...
The capital city.
The first light of dawn.
As soon as Fu Beichen got off the plane, the chill still lingering around him, he headed straight for the Bai family mansion.
The car smoothly drove into the Bai family mansion. The familiar building now exuded an aloofness that kept strangers at bay.
The butler led him through the courtyard and around the screen wall.
In the living room, Madam Bai sat upright in a plain cheongsam, her eyes filled with an unyielding coldness.
The woman who was always gentle and dignified in my memory stood up the moment she saw Fu Beichen.
She walked step by step towards him.
"Smack—"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the empty hall.
Fu Beichen's face was slapped to one side, and it stung painfully.
Madam Bai's wrists were trembling, her eyes were red-rimmed, but her voice was as cold as ice, "Fu Beichen, you are quite capable."
"Who gave you the audacity to treat my daughter like this?"
Fu Beichen's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse, "Madam Bai, remember her..."
"Shut up!"
Madam Bai interrupted him sharply, "You have no right to call her by her name."
She pointed towards the gate, each word sharp and icy.
"Our Bai family even turned down the Mu family's marriage because of you. If I had known you were such a scoundrel, I should have chosen the Mu family in the first place."
"As long as Xixi doesn't forgive you, you can never set foot in the Bai family again."
"Now, get out of here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bodyguard stepped forward and grabbed Fu Beichen's arm without any politeness.
Fu Beichen was half-pushed and half-shoved out.
The heavy, carved wooden door slammed shut behind him, cutting him off from everything.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel's top-floor suite, Fu Beichen's brows furrowed deeply.
Outside the window was the bustling street scene of the capital, but he couldn't focus on anything.
Her face is all I can think about, in my mind and in my heart.
It's the way she laughs, the way she makes a fuss, the way she snuggles softly in my arms.
This city is filled with his and her memories.
The base of his eyes was very red.
These days, longing is like a vine, frantically wrapping around his heart, tightening more and more, almost suffocating him.
Without her, his life was utterly meaningless, like a walking corpse.
He is now certain that Niannian is in the Bai residence, hidden away by the Bai family.
OK.
He had to figure out a way to sneak in.
I must see her.
He never imagined that Bai Yu would pull such a trick on him.
Just then, my phone vibrated.
It was Lynch on the phone.
"President Fu, there's been some activity from the Mu family."
"They have been trying to contact 'Bluebird' and wanted to invite his wife to work together to research a cure for this virus."
Lin Qi paused for a moment, then said, "The Mu family owns more than 200 private hospitals overseas. With this outbreak, all their hospitals are overcrowded, and there are reportedly many complaints. They urgently need a way to detoxify and stabilize the situation."
Fu Beichen's eyes darkened.
Mu Yanchen.
That's wishful thinking. Do you think he can just invite God N whenever he wants?
He has always coveted Niannian, his wicked intentions undiminished.
Fu Beichen smirked, his smile icy. "Then let's play along."
......
The capital city at the same time.
In the most luxurious private room of the "Ci" Club, people were clinking glasses and making merry.
Mu Yanchen held a wine glass, mingling among a group of bigwigs in the medical field, a polite smile on his face.
He was tall and straight, and his well-tailored suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He had an outstanding presence and stood out among the group of middle-aged men.
"If Young Master Mu can solve the virus problem this time, he will be at the pinnacle of the medical field, and even the Fu family will have to give him some respect."
"Yes, yes, we're all counting on God N."
"Young Master Mu, you and N God are betrothed since childhood. This great Buddha cannot be snatched away by someone else."
Mu Yanchen simply smiled, occasionally taking a sip of wine, handling the situation with ease.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated slightly in my pocket.
He excused himself to go to the restroom and left the noisy private room.
At the end of the corridor, he leaned against the wall and turned on the screen.
It's an email reminder.
The sender is "Bluebird".
His heart skipped a beat.
The email was brief: "[N Goddess is currently not at headquarters, but has left her private contact information. Whether she accepts your friend request is up to her.]"
Attached to the bottom of the email was a phone number.
Mu Yanchen's fingers trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, copied the string of numbers, and switched to the interface.
Paste, search.
A user popped up.
The profile picture is a soft, cute little bunny, all fluffy and adorable.
The nickname is very simple, consisting of only one letter: N.
He clicked "Add to Contacts" almost immediately.
The application was sent, but there has been no response for a long time.
Mu Yanchen looked at the gray rabbit avatar and thought that perhaps it was too late and she was already asleep.
The social engagement ended in the early hours of the morning.
The driver drove smoothly on the way home.
Mu Yanchen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was in a jumble.
The phone screen suddenly lit up.
[N has accepted your friend request. You can start chatting now.]
He instantly snapped out of it, his heart pounding with excitement.
He opened the chat window, hovered his fingers over the keyboard for a long time, and finally typed out a line of text.
【XiXi? Is that you?】
How have you been lately?
The other person's chat interface kept showing "typing...", but it took two minutes before they sent a message.
[It's not good for me to be recuperating in one place right now.]
His heart clenched instantly.
Where are you? I'm coming to see you.
This time, a few more minutes passed.
So long that he thought she would never come back.
The message had barely popped up when she deliberately started a conversation.
I'm sorry, your bracelet... was broken by Fu Beichen.
Is there... anywhere else in the world that has the same item?
It really is her!
It really is Xi Xi!
Mu Yanchen's heart pounded wildly, overwhelmed by immense joy.
He typed a reply quickly.
It's okay, the bracelet is broken, it's broken.
If you like it, I'll find you another one. It might not be exactly the same, but I guarantee it will be even better looking than the previous one.
This time, she replied very quickly.
I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight.
【Good evening. 】
Mu Yanchen's gaze lingered on the chat interface for a long time, reluctant to exit.
He clicked into her WeChat Moments.
It was completely empty except for a cold, horizontal line that read, "Friends only show updates from the last three days."
But just these few words of conversation were enough to keep him completely awake tonight.
...
The next day.
Fu Beichen received the news that Madam Bai was having dinner with some friends at the club, chatting and laughing, looking very comfortable.
With just this one action, Fu Beichen understood everything.
He was tricked by that bastard Bai Yu.
If Niannian were really at the Bai residence, Madam Bai would want to stay home 24/7 to take care of her precious darling.
He knew that she was on Ming Island at that moment.
But he couldn't get up there; the defenses were too tight, and he couldn't confront the authorities head-on.
The only option was to send more people to keep a close watch on the island and pay close attention to every little thing that happened.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yu still came and went as he pleased.
At this moment, he is in his large villa, preparing afternoon tea for Sheng Weiwei.
Sheng Weiwei nestled on the sofa and ordered food.
"I want freshly squeezed strawberry juice... and freshly baked egg tarts."
Bai Yu readily agreed, "Okay."
He then got to work himself, the tall man rolling up his shirt sleeves to reveal his muscular forearms, busy in the open kitchen.
Soon, the entire villa was filled with a rich aroma of milk.
As Sheng Weiwei watched his skillful movements and his focused profile, she silently added a point to her score.
This man is actually quite endearing in a way that contrasts with his personality.
A moment later, Bai Yu placed a glass of bright red strawberry juice and a plate of steaming hot egg tarts in front of her.
The golden-brown crust of the egg tarts is slightly charred, emitting an enticing aroma.
Sheng Weiwei exclaimed, "How did you do that? That's so professional!"
She leaned closer and joked, "Tell me honestly, did your Bai family run a bakery a hundred years ago?"
Bai Yu was amused by her, and he talked nonsense with a straight face.
"He's done more than just a bakery. He's also run a butcher stall, worked as a night watchman, and escorted goods."
With just a few words, he successfully made Sheng Weiwei giggle.
Sheng Weiwei reached out to grab an egg tart.
He called out, "Be careful, it's hot!"
Then he picked one up himself, gently blew on it before offering it to her lips, feeding her tenderly.
Sheng Weiwei habitually opened her mouth, enjoying his thoughtfulness.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she screamed in utter shock.
"ah!"
This startled Bai Yu so much that he dropped the egg tart in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Where do you feel unwell? We need to go to the hospital right away!"
He looked flustered and bent down to pick the person up in his arms.
Sheng Weiwei grabbed his large hand and pressed it hard against her belly, which was about half the size of a ball.
She cried out in surprise and joy, for this was the first time she had felt the baby move.
It moved!
"They moved inside!"
Bai Yu froze, then breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost been scared out of his wits.
He lifted her loose maternity dress with his large hand and placed his warm palm on her round belly.
Skin to skin.
Suddenly, I felt a slight wriggling sensation under my palm.
It was an indescribable, magical feeling; through his belly, he touched new life.
His eyes were so gentle they could melt your heart.
Bai Yu lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply.
"Weiwei, thank you."
Sheng Weiwei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Why are you thanking me? The baby hasn't even been born yet."
She changed the subject.
"Um, my uncle said there's an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who's very skilled. Why don't you go and have a look?"
Bai Yu was stunned.
He looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you want it to get better?"
Sheng Weiwei laughed heartlessly, "What does this have to do with me?"
He smiled, but his eyes were serious.
"Of course it's related. I'll only go for treatment if you say you want it."
"In the future, you will marry into the Bai family and become the eldest young mistress. That will be your happiness."
Sheng Weiwei's smile suddenly vanished.
She looked at him and spoke each word with utmost seriousness.
"Bai Yu, I don't like this."
"I will not make any promises to anyone, nor do I need any promises from anyone."
"Thank you for the strawberry juice." After saying that, Sheng Weiwei leaned on the sofa and got up to leave.
Bai Yu panicked completely and grabbed her wrist.
"Weiwei, don't go."
She turned around, her eyes calm and undisturbed, and told him in a statement of fact.
"Bai Yu, I will not marry into the Bai family."
She never thought about it, and never intended to.
She didn't desire marriage with anyone, except... Zhan Xiao.
After saying that, she shook off his hand and walked away.
The door slammed shut with a bang.
Upon hearing this voice, Bai Yu felt a tightness in his chest and a suffocating sensation in his heart.
...
Meanwhile, Mu Yanchen and "God N" have been chatting enthusiastically these past few days.
After much deliberation, he finally revealed his wolfish ambitions.
[Xixi, our pharmaceutical factory under the Mu Group focuses on cardiovascular medicine.]
We recently upgraded a new drug, but unfortunately, we've hit a roadblock at the last minute, and research and development has stalled.
His words were earnest, and his posture was extremely humble.
I'd like to offer you a substantial sum to serve as a technical consultant for our pharmaceutical company. Would you be interested?
The reply came quickly from the other end of the screen.
N: [The technical consultant is unavailable at the moment.]
N: [However, I have a formula that you can try to make into a new formulation; the results should be quite good.]
Mu Yanchen stared at the line of text, his heart pounding.
She...she was willing to give him the equation directly?
This is N God!
A medical legend! Her formulas are priceless!
He asked incredulously, "You mean, a gift without compensation?"
N: [Yes.]
The reply from the other end remained concise and to the point.
N: [Hopefully, the Mu family can use it to save more people.]
N: [However, one point must be made: the price of the finished product must be reasonable and cannot become a tool for commercial profiteering.]
Definitely! Definitely!
Mu Yanchen made a solemn promise, his fingers trembling with excitement.
Soon, an encrypted file was sent over.
It is N God's secret formula.
He immediately downloaded the file, rushed out of his office, and headed straight for the lab.
"Quickly! Make the finished product for me right now! Immediately!"
...
Inside the president's office of the Fu Group.
Fu Beichen was in a great mood as he looked at the chat history between N God and Mu Yanshen, which was going very well.
All the pieces landed in the positions he wanted.
Sudden.
His personal phone vibrated, the screen lit up, and a short message popped up.
Fu Beichen's eyes lit up instantly, all his laziness and nonchalance vanished, leaving only sharpness and urgency.
"Get ready to depart for Ming Island."
Lin Qi was giving a work report when he heard this and was shocked. "President Fu? Aren't we... not allowed to go to the island?"
Fu Beichen stood up, his voice as firm as a rock.
"The reagent has been successfully developed."
"That old fox dares not keep my people here any longer."
Niannian, it's time to go home...
