Chapter 117 Madam, why are you here?
Gu Xiangsi frowned. He had promised Fu Jia not to tell him the reason.
Gu Xiangsi lowered her eyes, not looking at Fu Sinian's burning gaze, and clenched her hands on the corners of her clothes.
Fu Sinian understood as soon as he saw her little gesture.
If you push her any further, this woman will retreat into her shell and refuse to tell the truth.
He exhaled heavily, feeling an indescribable tightness in his chest.
Wait until he finishes dealing with the last bit of stuff with his mother, then we can talk it out!
The car stopped at the door of a villa in the middle of the mountain. Gu Xiangsi turned to look at the person next to him, his eyes full of confusion.
"I……"
"I asked Xiaoyao to sort out your things. You can stop living in that apartment."
"I can't live with you..."
The man chuckled softly, the smile that rolled out of his throat carried a hint of helpless indulgence.
"Who said I want you to live with me?" He raised his hand and pointed to the back of the villa, "There's a two-and-a-half-story villa in the back. You can live there first."
"But..." Gu Xiangsi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Do you still want to live in the same place as before? Or find a new house?" Fu Sinian's tone was serious, and he said seriously, "Even if you are willing, I still don't feel at ease."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Sinian pushed open the car door and got out. He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door. He put his palm on the door frame, leaned over slightly and looked at the person who was hesitant to move, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"What? You want me to carry you down?"
Gu Xiangsi's cheeks flushed, and she quickly lowered her head and moved out of the car, clutching the corner of her clothes with her fingertips. She always felt that Fu Sinian seemed different from before.
There was an inexplicable softness in that strength.

April 4th is Qingming Festival.
Li Xiaoyao tapped lightly on the door of the office on the second floor with his fingertips.
After opening the door, he handed the documents to the desk and changed the subject: "Miss Gu... I saw she bought roses and made some snacks."
Fu Sinian took the document and paused, then looked up at her: "Go to the cemetery?"
"Yes." Li Xiaoyao nodded, adding a hint of caution in his tone, "Today is Qingming Festival. She's probably going to visit her mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Sinian pushed his chair away, stood up, and took his coat with quick and decisive movements.
"Ask someone to prepare another bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Let's go together."
Just as Gu Xiangsi was about to bend down and get into the car that had been arranged in advance, he caught a glimpse of a familiar car coming from the corner of his eye.
The car stopped steadily in front of her. Li Xiaoyao got out first and walked quickly to her side. "Miss Gu, please come this way."
Gu Xiangsi had no choice but to hold the flowers in her arms and the prepared offerings in the other hand and walk over.
When she reached the car door, she looked up at the people in the car and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fu, are you... going with us?"
Fu Sinian didn't get out of the car. He turned his head and looked at the thing in her hand. His tone was calm but with some certainty: "Shouldn't you take me with you when you go to see your mother?"
"I..." Gu Xiangsi choked and subconsciously retorted, "Mr. Fu, have you forgotten? We are just in a contractual relationship."
"Agreement?" Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows, a faint smile on his lips, and said with a casual and assertive tone, "If you're willing, bring your ID card now. I can make it legal at any time."
"You... are unreasonable..." Gu Xiangsi was so frustrated by him that she felt that Fu Sinian's eloquence was getting better and better. It was obviously a fallacy, but he made it sound as if it was natural.
The sky seemed to understand the meaning of Qingming Festival. It was covered with a layer of heavy gray clouds, and even the wind was a bit cold and sluggish.
Li Xiaoyao quickly glanced at the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror and spoke carefully: "Mr. Fu, those who participated in the riot have all been locked up. However..."
He paused, his tone hesitant. "The Gu family sent someone to talk to you. They're willing to give you half of the land they bought earlier, in exchange for releasing Miss Gu."
"Humph." A low laugh came from the back seat, with undisguised contempt, "I don't even want that piece of land."
Fu Sinian tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, his eyes growing colder. "Just wait. In less than half a month, someone will come to our door with the listing documents, even without them having to divide it up."
Gu Xiangsi was surprised, "Are you playing chess?"
"Miss Gu, you're absolutely right. My young master's chess game is quite grand."
There was a hint of depth in Li Xiaoyao's eyes. There were some things he didn't say explicitly, and you were also a move he had painstakingly planned.
However, although he is the chess player in this game, he is willing to do it for you...
"Why? Interested?"
Fu Sinian turned his head to the side, and the teardrop mole at the end of his peach blossom eyes looked even more charming under the light. Gu Xiangsi raised her eyes and felt that the red mole looked like a broken star.
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"If there is any connection, you are the key general."
He curled his lips slightly, with an unknown smile hidden in his eyes, "I'll give you a surprise then."
As he finished speaking, his eyes half-closed with a lazy certainty.
Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily at the destination.
Each of them held a bouquet of flowers in their hands. Li Xiaoyao followed behind them to help carry the things and walked up the stone steps step by step.
The April wind was still slightly chilly, but Gu Xiangsi felt a little heavy-hearted.
This time, she came with someone, but she had no idea what the future would be like.
Gu Xiangsi was lost in thought when she stumbled forward. Fu Sinian immediately reached out and grabbed her waist to pull her back.
Only then did she come back to her senses.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's okay." Gu Xiangsi shook his head, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the cemetery on the left.
There was a bunch of fresh roses there, with a little morning dew on the petals.
Her heart tightened, and she rushed over there in a flash, looking around with trembling fingertips.
"What's wrong?" Fu Sinian asked quickly.
"I... I think it's my father who's back." Gu Xiangsi's voice was soft, with indescribable emotions surging in his heart. It was surprise, mixed with a bit of disbelief. He just kept looking around subconsciously.
Fu Sinian walked quickly forward, squatted down and touched the things next to the tombstone. In addition to the bouquet of roses, there was also a cup of wine, and the wall of the cup was still warm.
"I shouldn't have gone far."
When Gu Xiangsi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and he looked around anxiously again.
"Master, there seems to be someone over there!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao, who was following behind, suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Gu Xiangsi immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black corner of clothes flash at the corner not far away, and then hid behind the wall.
"Go and have a look."
Li Xiaoyao responded and stepped forward, walking up the stairs step by step. Just as he reached a redbud tree, he stopped and spoke with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
