Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Hypocritical, Deep-Self-Indulgent Gentleman



ah?

ah???

Su An stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely stunned.

Fu Zhun's wine glass fell to the ground with a "clatter" and he choked.

The rest of the Su family members were so shocked that they all opened their mouths wide, forgetting to chew their meat, their eyes wide with astonishment.

"Zhou Li!" Fu Zhun blushed, his dark eyes swirling with emotion, and he quickly reprimanded in a low voice.

Zhou Li was drunk, his face as red as a monkey's bottom, and he couldn't hear anything else, muttering to himself.

"My master is completely captivated by you. Every day, just hearing your footsteps makes him urge me to open the door to welcome you. He misses you terribly if you don't come on time, and he's more nervous than anyone else when he hears that you've been targeted!"

"Young boss, tell me honestly, did you give your master some kind of spell? That's why he's so obsessed with you, to the point of being ill!"

The whole family was completely stunned, their astonished gazes instantly turning to Fu Zhun.

They were all wrong? The one with ulterior motives wasn't Zhou Li, but this wealthy tycoon!

"Great!" Su Ting jumped up excitedly, staring at Fu Zhun with a mixture of admiration and passion. "So you like my older sister that much! I knew I wasn't wrong, brother-in-law!"

"No—" This "brother-in-law" stunned Su An, and before she could stop him, Xiao Su Yue excitedly chimed in.

"Yay! Yueyue loves having the God of Wealth as her brother-in-law!"

Su Jiang, her face also flushed from drinking, nodded: "If you're willing to put in this much effort for your eldest sister, then I can accept it."

Li Guihua took a sip of rice wine and smiled at them. She had saved so much dowry for her eldest daughter, so she would have a solid foundation when she got married!

Amidst cheers and jeers, Su An and Fu Zhun felt awkward and unsure where to look.

Seeing Zhou Li grinning foolishly, still about to boast.

Fu Zhun clenched his fist, veins bulging, and shoved a beef patty into his mouth. "When did I ever do that? You're talking nonsense!"

His handsome face flushed red. After speaking, he didn't even lift his head in his disheveled state, and he moved his wheelchair away with great effort.

"Wait, I'll take you." Su An's eyes flickered uneasily, but it was already late at night, and Zhou Li was a drunkard. She couldn't let someone with mobility issues go home alone, could she?

Under the watchful eyes of the whole family, she coughed lightly and hurriedly pushed Fu Zhun out the door.

Walking down the street, a cool night breeze was blowing, and the silence between the two was deafening.

Fu Zhun's dark eyes almost blended into the night. He clenched his fists slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice after a moment: "That kid is quite drunk. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll have someone carry him back later."

Thinking of Zhou Li's words, Su An's cheeks flushed slightly, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity and blurted out, "Is what he said true?"

"What?" Fu Zhun was stunned, his posture in the wheelchair becoming even more rigid.

Seeing that he was even more awkward than she was, Su An couldn't help but chuckle, which eased her embarrassment somewhat.

He deliberately drew out the last syllable and asked softly, "You really like me?"

The woman's soft, tender voice, like a small hook, made Fu Zhun's heart tremble suddenly, and his ears turned as red as if they were dripping blood.

Fortunately, the darkness was not noticeable.

However, Su An didn't receive a response for a long time, and saw him lowering his head slightly as if he were shy. The aftereffects of the wine kicked in, and Su An suddenly had the urge to tease him.

She stopped and cupped his face in her hands from behind the wheelchair.

Caught off guard, Fu Zhun was suddenly looked up and met Su An's smiling, crescent-shaped eyes.

"..."

His Adam's apple bobbed, as if he really wanted to ask if their roles had been switched.

Seeing his shifty gaze and tense face, Su An laughed even harder, leaning close to his ear and asking sweetly, "Is the God of Wealth really shy? Could it be that, as Zhou Li said, he's all talk and no action, just a repressed pervert?"

The two were very close, and the woman's faint fragrance lingered around their noses. When she spoke, her soft lips would inadvertently touch their ears.

Fu Zhun felt a tightness in his throat. He stared at Su An, whose face was flushed, and said in an increasingly hoarse voice, "Miss Su, you're drunk."

Still unable to get an answer, Su An couldn't help but pout slightly, her eyes revealing dissatisfaction.

"You're rambling on and on. Is it really that hard to answer whether you like it or not?"

She made no attempt to hide her emotions; her bright, expressive eyes blinked as if they could speak, causing Fu Zhun's heart to race.

His face flushed red, and he opened his lips as if to answer.

Just then, Xie Qingfeng appeared.

Upon seeing this, he exclaimed "Oh!" and stepped forward with a smile, hands behind his back: "So you're here, Boss Su. I was just looking for you."

Fu Zhun: "..."

The opportunity we finally had was hard-won.

He silently lowered his gaze.

Su An was also a little surprised. She had wanted to call Xie Qingfeng at dinner, hoping to get close to him again, but she didn't see him and thought he had gone back to the medicine hut.

Looking for me?

She asked in confusion, and then glanced over and noticed some dark spots on the hem of Xie Qingfeng's clothes, which looked like bloodstains.

As the other party approached, a faint smell of blood emanated from them.

Xie Qingfeng didn't notice Su An's furrowed brows and went straight to the point: "What did you make that smells so good? I can smell it all over the backyard."

As soon as he said that, Su An knew what he meant and, somewhat amused, gave him directions.

"I made some new beef dishes for dinner, and we're still eating them at my house. If the miracle doctor goes there now, he can still catch them while they're still hot."

Xie Qingfeng nodded without ceremony and said frankly, "Thank you for the meal, Boss Su. Please call me anytime if you need any help in the future."

He agreed to these meals.

But just as he was about to rush over, Su An couldn't help but jokingly ask, "But Doctor, you smell of blood on you. Were you just killing someone?"

Such reclusive masters might have some eccentricities, so she really had to be careful.

Xie Qingfeng then realized what was happening, glanced at his blood-stained robes, and calmly nodded.

"That's right, I just killed a hot guy too."

As he spoke, he looked Su An up and down with a sinister gaze, and his tone suddenly revealed a hint of amused killing intent as he said, "Killing young and delicate beauties like Boss Su, whose skin is so supple and delicate that it breaks with a single slash, is the most fun!"

Upon hearing this, Su An's eyelids twitched slightly; something just didn't sound right.

Fu Zhun frowned and rubbed his forehead, coldly rebuking him: "How come you've learned to talk nonsense too!"

He then looked at Su An, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Afraid of frightening the little girl, he could only explain briefly, "Don't be afraid, he's obsessed with medicine, he's just dissecting animals for research."

Su An blinked in sudden realization. So these were just his little quirks. As long as there was no fun in killing or arson!

“Perfect timing. I get a lot of pig hearts in my backyard every day. Pig hearts are similar to human hearts. If you need them, you can take them to dissect them. Just remember to bring the meat back to me afterward.”

After she finished speaking, Fu Zhun and Xie Qingfeng, who had expected her to be afraid, were both stunned.

Ordinary people, especially women, would be horrified at the mere mention of dissecting an animal carcass.

She can actually offer suggestions?
