Chapter 445 Throwing Yourself into Your Arms +2
Yao Xin sat on the sofa, with her facial features almost all huddled together.
Fu Tingjun was sitting opposite with a serious look on his face.
The Fu couple and the Fu brothers and sisters were all puzzled.
"How did you sprain your ankle?"
There weren't any awkward areas at home. Yao Xin frowned in pain and couldn't speak. Fu Ting pursed his lips slightly, and they couldn't ask a single word.
The family doctor arrived soon. Just as he was about to reach out to support Yao Xin's feet, Fu Tingjun stood up and walked towards them.
"I'll do it."
Everyone made way for him.
Yao Xin wanted to refuse, but she couldn't make a sound. She could only watch Fu Tingjun put her small ankle on his knee and he knelt on one knee to take off her socks.
Yao Xin's jade feet fell into his palms. Her feet were very small, as if carved out of fine jade, with smooth and delicate skin.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, Yao Xin's ears gradually turned red.
He kept staring at her feet. Her ankles were obviously red and swollen. Fu Tingjun frowned and looked blamed, which shocked the Fu couple.
"Uncle, Yaoyao——"
As soon as Fu Rong finished speaking, Mrs. Fu covered her mouth with her hand.
"Shut up and stop talking. It's late. Let your uncle take care of Yaoyao's injuries. You two can go upstairs and sleep."
Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu exchanged glances, but Fu Rong didn't understand. She was making a fuss as if she was afraid that Fu Tingjun would harm Yao Xin and wanted to stay and watch. Mrs. Fu then whispered to Fu Huan to send Fu Rong upstairs.
"Go away, don't make trouble here."
Fu Rong still didn't understand what was going on, so Fu Huan had to persuade her to go upstairs.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see that my uncle was with Yaoyao? He was fine when he was sent back yesterday, but he was injured when he was sent back today. I'm worried."
Fu Rong was clamoring to go downstairs, and Fu Huan wanted to hit her with a hammer to wake her up.
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand, Uncle and Yaoyao——"
Fu Huan leaned over to Fu Rong's ear. Fu Rong's eyes widened and she shrieked, "Impossible."
"What's impossible? Don't worry about it, kid. Go to bed quickly."
Fu Huan sent Fu Rong into the room and closed the door for her. Fu Rong excitedly opened it again: "Fu Huan——"
"Okay, stop bothering them."
Downstairs, Fu Tingjun asked the doctor to carefully check Yao Xin's sprained foot. The doctor had already noticed the faint ambiguity between them, and seeing that President Fu had been holding Yao Xin's foot, he did not dare to touch it too much.
"I'll get some bruise medicine first. Mr. Fu will apply it on her. If the swelling doesn't go away tomorrow, I suggest you go to the hospital to take an X-ray to see if there are any bone injuries. If not, she should stay in bed for a few days and apply medicine on time. There shouldn't be any major problems."
The doctor said a few simple words. He originally wanted to feel Yao Xin's bones to see if there was any dislocation, but looking at Mr. Fu's expression, he seemed unwilling to let him touch this young lady's feet. He was very knowledgeable and thought that the condition did not seem to be too serious, so an eye examination would be enough.
The doctor simply taught Fu Tingjun the massage techniques on the spot. After that, Fu Tingjun sent the doctor out and asked about some precautions.
When he turned back, he found that one of Yao Xin's feet was bare and exposed, and her head was slightly tilted. It was obvious that she was so tired that she had fallen asleep.
Fu Tingjun looked at the Fu family couple standing next to him and asked, "Do you have a blanket?"
Mrs. Fu seemed to have just woken up from a dream: "Yes, I'll get it."
Mr. Fu went with Mrs. Fu.
Fu Tingjun lifted her foot again, applied the medicine to her injured area and rubbed it gently. The warmth from his palm carried the medicine and spread to her injured ankle. Yao Xin felt it, opened her heavy eyelids, and saw that it was Fu Tingjun. She couldn't help but want to pull her foot back.
"Don't move. I'm applying medicine to you."
He frowned, and Yao Xin pursed her lips in a negative tone: "No need, I can do it myself."
Fu Tingjun glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.
"Be more careful next time."
He spoke calmly, without stopping his hands' movements.
Yao Xin narrowed her eyelids slightly, thinking that it was all his fault.
If he hadn't said that, she wouldn't have been angry.
Fu Rong, whom he had saved unintentionally, also accompanied them home.
His kindness was taken for granted, which made Yao Xin so angry that her heart ached.
If she had known that day would happen, she would not have taken his car back to the Fu family. Suzhou City is so big, and there are quaint rental houses everywhere. Why should she do that?
"You are too petty and suffer."
Fu Tingjun suddenly added something, and Yao Xin exploded instantly.
She wanted to pull her feet back, but Fu Tingjun held them tightly.
"Boss Fu, next time before you attack someone, say hello. I am narrow-minded, but I think someone is arrogant and self-righteous. If I were really the eldest daughter of the Huo family, I don't think she would have the time to travel thousands of miles to deal with you, the Fu family.
Although the Fu family is a century-old family, it is of no value to the current Huo family. Mr. Fu is complacent, stubborn and self-righteous, and I really don’t agree with him.”
It’s fine if Yao Xin doesn’t get angry, but once she gets angry, she will dare to confront anyone, even the emperor.
She thought that even if her father was still alive, he might not necessarily look down upon the Fu family.
No matter how powerful Fu Tingjun is, he can only run rampant in the Jiangnan area at most. Why does he think that the Huo family regards him as a thorn in their eyes?
What could she possibly intend for the Fu family? What could the Fu family possibly have?
Really——
Yao Xin's face turned red. She was embarrassed before, but now she was angry.
She raised her chin slightly, with a look of pride and dissatisfaction.
Fu Tingjun rubbed her for a long time, and when he was sure that he would rub off a layer of skin if he continued, he gently put on her socks and put her feet back.
"Since you are not a member of the Huo family, why are you so angry?"
His words pierced her lungs.
Yao Xin clenched her hands so tightly that she was about to explode.
He had been annoying her all night long, and now he was lecturing her as if nothing had happened.
It's really the thief crying "stop thief".
"Don't go to work tomorrow. I will notify the HR department to give you half a month's leave."
Yao Xin wanted to curse but swallowed the words back.
Some bosses leave a wider gap in their back doors. If she doesn't know what's interesting, this cold thing might just open her up.
Yao Xin wisely shut up. Mrs. Fu just came down with a blanket and saw that Fu Tingjun had already stood up. Yao Xin was still sitting on the sofa, her little face puffed up like a frog.
It felt like there was something wrong between them, like they had had a fight.
"Sister-in-law, I'll sleep here tonight."
"???"
Mrs. Fu was stunned. Yao Xin suddenly stood up on one foot from the sofa, but she lost her balance and fell to the side. Fu Tingjun was quick-witted and caught her in his arms again. Yao Xin was caught right in the middle and was almost killed in Fu Tingjun's arms.
"You hurt your foot. Can you take care of yourself?"
How could this seemingly calm and gentle little woman act like a daredevil?
Fu Tingjun always thought that only Fu Rong could do such a thing. Yao Xin wanted to push him away, but Fu Tingjun hugged her even tighter.
"I'll take you up."
