Lin Xi was suddenly hugged by him and it took her a few seconds to come back to her senses.
The dark cloud scurried away as Fu Jingyao approached.
She'll teach that bullying, cowardly little cloud a lesson sooner or later.
The man rested his chin on her shoulder and softly called her name.
"Linxi".
"Yes, I'm here."
Lin Xi patted him on the back. "Fu Jingyao, you came just in time. You saved my life."
Fu Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound.
He let go of her hand. "What are you doing in the deep mountains so late?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when we get back." Lin Xi sneezed, "Achoo!"
The dark clouds kept chasing her, and she was soaked through inside and out by the rain.
Fu Jingyao took off his coat and draped it over her, his voice slightly deep, "There's heating in the car."
Lin Xi wanted to say that she wasn't cold, but the man had already started walking away.
She sniffed and followed.
Is Fu Jingyao angry?
Neither of them spoke the rest of the way.
At the intersection, a man saw them return, immediately opened the car door, and respectfully greeted them, "President Fu."
Fu Jingyao gave a faint "hmm," and said, "Drive home."
"Okay, Mr. Fu."
Qi Wenye nodded, secretly glancing at the woman beside him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Mr. Fu draped his coat over her shoulders!
What exactly is her relationship with President Fu?
Lin Xi was also sizing him up.
The man wore a black vest, had a buzz cut, bronze skin, well-defined muscles, and tattoos covering half of his arm. He looked menacing and had a gangster-like aura.
Fu Jingyao turned around, "Lin Xi?"
"Oh, here it comes." Lin Xi looked away and climbed into the back seat.
Fu Jingyao got into the car and waited for a while, but the man outside still didn't make a move.
He spoke up to remind her, "Qi Wenye."
Chen Zhao and Qi Wenye, his two assistants, one smart and the other a good fighter.
Qi Wenye couldn't help but ask, "President Fu, who is she...?"
"My wife." Fu Jingyao glanced at him expressionlessly. "Drive."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Qi Wenye's eyes widened like saucers.
Oh my god!
He went to Africa, and Mr. Fu actually got married!
That wretched Chen Zhao didn't tell him, which led to him staring at President Fu's wife just now.
Qi Wenye got into the driver's seat and forced a friendly smile. "Madam, hello. I am President Fu's assistant and bodyguard. I apologize for my rudeness earlier."
He looks like a mafia boss, and he looks even more like one when he smiles; his expression is very "kind."
Lin Xi spoke first: "Hello."
Qi Wenye was about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He kept his mouth shut and drove, his eyes constantly glancing back.
The two people behind them sat there awkwardly.
Fu Jingyao didn't speak, but took out a small box and placed it between the two of them.
When Lin Xi opened it, she found it was full of her favorite snacks: chocolate, small bread, small cakes, and so on.
She tore open a bag of milk-flavored bread rolls and stuffed them into her mouth.
Fu Jingyao unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her, still without saying a word.
Lin Xi took a sip of water, held up the bag of milk-flavored bread rolls, and asked the man beside her.
Do you want some?
"Need not."
Fu Jingyao sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his thin lips pressed into a line.
The distance between the two was wide enough to fit Qi Wenye inside.
Lin Xi quietly moved a little closer to him and stared at his face for a while.
"Fu Jingyao, are you angry?"
The man's face darkened. "No."
Lin Xi was quite certain that he was really angry.
She reached out and poked the man's face. "You're so angry you've got wrinkles all over your face, and you still say you're not angry."
Fu Jingyao broke down in an instant, grabbing her fingers, "Lin Xi, don't move."
"I was wrong, please don't be angry."
Lin Xi picked up a small bread and put it to his mouth, "Eating sweet things can make people happy, don't be angry."
Fu Jingyao completely lost his temper and opened his mouth to eat the small bread from her palm.
He waited at home for a long time tonight, but couldn't get through to Lin Xi on the phone.
Time passed by, and it was already three in the morning when no one had returned.
He used all his connections to find this place, but still couldn't find anyone.
At that moment, his heart was filled with panic.
Lin Xi ran into the deep mountains alone so late at night; he was indeed a little angry just now.
Fu Jingyao opened his mouth to explain, "Lin Xi, I'm not angry with you. In the future, if you're going anywhere at night, just let me know in advance, and I'll worry about you."
Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder like a good brother, "I'm a sorcerer, I usually work at night."
"I'm super capable, you don't need to worry about me."
Her tone was very relaxed, but the worry in Fu Jingyao's eyes remained.
Lin Xi is strong and free; he cannot, and it is impossible, to keep her by his side.
He respected Lin Xi's wishes and her career.
But he was worried about her safety and afraid of losing her.
Fu Jingyao looked at the person beside him, a subtle emotion welling up in his deep eyes.
He didn't know when it started, but he stopped treating Lin Xi as his younger sister.
The man kept staring at her, but Lin Xi turned her head away. "This time it was a special case; it won't happen again next time."
Fu Jingyao closed his eyes briefly. "I haven't been able to get through to you on the phone."
Lin Xi explained, "I encountered a sorcerer whose magic affected the magnetic field, which is why my phone had no signal."
It's certainly worrying that you can't get through on the phone at three or four in the morning.
Lin Xi pondered for a few seconds, then took out a red string from her bag.
She bit her fingertip and dripped her blood onto it.
