Chapter 219 - Not Even Letting Off a Dog

Chapter 219: Not Even Letting Off a Dog

This very evening, Yan Wangchuan dragged a suitcase to the Qiao residence.

Song Fengwan and Qiao Wangbei were both stunned. The two of them were progressing too quickly.

Song Fengwan even pulled her aside and asked her what was going on.

Qiao Aiyun couldn’t explain it clearly, so she could only say that she had been tricked by Yan Wangchuan again.

After dinner, Qiao Wangbei and Yan Wangchuan watched the news and the weather forecast and then played chess until 11 p.m. Only when Qiao Aiyun urged them did the two return to their rooms to sleep. Naturally, nothing happened.

However, Fu Chen called Song Fengwan. He and Huai Sheng would be returning to the capital tomorrow morning.

“I thought you would go back with me.” Song Fengwan’s voice was soft, and it was difficult for her to hide her disappointment.

“I’ll wait for you at home.” His voice was low and somewhat seductive.

“Okay, I should be leaving three days from now and will arrive at night.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

As soon as Fu Chen finished speaking, Huai Sheng, beside him, turned around and kicked his thigh, nearly landing on his butt.

He frowned slightly.?This brat was clearly very well-behaved in the monastery before. Who exactly did he learn this sprawled out posture from?

The next day, Beijing, Duan residence…

Duan Linbai had to go to the hospital for a checkup early in the morning, so his mother woke him up at seven o’clock. After so many days, he had gradually adapted to the dark environment. He reached out to the head of the bed to feel for the folded clothes. He put them on one by one, his actions clumsy, clearly struggling.

When he went to the bathroom, even though the toothpaste and cup had been prepared, he still stumbled around while washing up. His knee hit the toilet bowl, and it was so painful that it made his scalp tingle.

He picked up the folding blind cane by the door. Supporting himself against the wall with one hand and the other with the blind cane, he kept poking and prodding the floor. Even though he had lived in this house since he was young, he still inevitably bumped into things.

Xu Jiamu rode on her small electric scooter and braved the cold winds to leave her school for the Duan residence at six o’clock in the morning.

It had snowed heavily last night, and the fences along the roads were all covered in snow. When she breathed out, white mist rose from the heat in her breath. And when a breath of cold air entered her nose, it was so cold that her bones trembled.

She hadn’t left the dormitory for a few days. When she went out in the morning, she had washed her hair simply. Her hair was frozen, and when it shook, frost fell to the ground.

When she reached the Duan residence, it was 7:15 p.m., and they were having breakfast.

Duan Linbai seemed to have finished eating and was sitting on the sofa playing with the dog.

He rubbed his face against the Shiba Inu and kissed him.

“Come, let’s kiss.” Duan Linbai had formed a deep friendship with Fu Xinhan over the past few days, so their feelings for each other were naturally good.

Xu Jiamu watched as he pursed his lips and moved closer to the dog.

He pressed his hands firmly on the dog’s head. The dog was obviously unwilling, his dog eyes wide open in horror.

Fu Xinhan was really about to break down.?This pervert, I don’t want to kiss him at all.

His dog face looked disgusted.?Can’t he let me go?

This scene looked a little crazy, no matter how you looked at it.

Xu Jiamu was speechless.?This unrestrained person won’t even let a dog off.

Mrs. Duan hadn’t expected that the person Fu Chen had called over to be Xu Jiamu, and she couldn’t stop smiling. “Jiamu, have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat something?”

“No thanks. I’ve already eaten.” Xu Jiamu rubbed her nose and unintentionally glanced at the Duan family’s dining table. She had thought that these kinds of rich people would definitely consume exotic delicacies three meals a day. She hadn’t expected it to be just ordinary soup dumplings and fried dough sticks without anything special.

Upon hearing the voice, Duan Linbai frowned slightly.

Why did Fu Chen call her to come over??He hadn’t forgotten that this woman had sat on him that day and nearly broken his bones. His butt had hurt for several days. Before he even looked for her, she actually took the initiative to come to him.

“You’re accompanying Little Bai to the hospital today? That’s too much trouble.” Mrs. Duan pulled her to sit down.

“It’s not troublesome. I can get him more medicine as well.” Xu Jiamu could only smile reluctantly.

Mrs. Duan thanked her profusely and reminded Duan Linbai of things to take note of for a long time.

She was obviously trying to matchmake the two.

“Little Bai, this young lady is pretty good. She’s a medical student, twenty-four, and doesn’t have a boyfriend yet. She’s also beautiful. Be nice to her.”

“Mom, I’m going to see a doctor. You’re telling me to pick up girls?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Isn’t this an opportune moment?” Mrs. Duan helped him adjust his clothes. “Your mom has lived for so long, and I won’t be wrong about looking at people.”

“Don’t you always say that you were blind to have married Dad?”

The corners of Mrs. Duan’s lips twitched. If not for the fact that he was blind, she really wanted to slap him.?He’s such a scoundrel. He really remembered the nonsense I said when I was angry so clearly.

***

Duan Linbai and Xu Jiamu took the Duan family’s car to the hospital. Duan Linbai’s assistant, Little Jiang, was at the wheel.

Duan Linbai put on his earphones and leaned against his seat to listen to music.

At first, Xu Jiamu turned her head and looked out the window. Occasionally, she looked at the man beside her. His body exuded a sense of beauty beyond the mundane. He was clean, refreshing, and gentle like spring water. The environment in the car was dark, but his skin was so fair that it was eye-catching. He tapped his fingers on his knee lightly, seemingly in a good mood.

She had seen many patients who came down with sudden blindness, but this was the first time she had seen someone with such a good frame of mind.

She didn’t know what he suddenly heard, but his lips curled up into a smile.

Duan Linbai was born looking clean, and his smile was sunny. But he was also very wicked, sultry, and seductive.

Xu Jiamu was a little envious from looking at him, and her heart skipped a fierce beat. She looked away slightly.

It was no wonder that on New Year’s Day, when the internet had evaluated the men whom people wanted to sleep with the most, he ranked first. He was rich, good-looking, and had a seductive smile. Which girl wouldn’t like him?

She looked down at her phone for a while. She had stayed up late to write her thesis for the past two days and was both mentally and physically exhausted. The heating in the car was very comfortable, so she yawned a few times. She couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep leaning against the seat.

It had snowed last night, so Little Jiang drove very slowly. Through the rearview mirror, he saw that Xu Jiamu had fallen asleep and slowed down even more…

Then he saw that in Xu Jiamu’s grogginess, her head slowly leaned toward Duan Linbai.

Finally…

Plop!?She leaned on Duan Linbai’s shoulder.

Duan Linbai, who was listening to music, was shocked. He decided to push her away. He reached out to hold her head and try to push her away. Unexpectedly, her head slipped and landed directly on his thighs…

He gasped.

F*ck!

Where is this woman resting her head?

He reached out and poked her face with a trembling finger. “Hey—”

Xu Jiamu had only slept for three hours since yesterday. She was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes. She moved her body and actually fit herself snugly to a certain intimate place…

Her breathing was shallow but scorching hot. Duan Linbai’s entire body stiffened.

She was even rubbing against him while adjusting her position.

Still rubbing…

Little Jiang was also stunned as he watched Duan Linbai’s face flush red through and through.

Although his little boss looked wanton and unrestrained, and many people said that he was arrogant and promiscuous—there were even rumors that he had had trysts with several women in a night—he knew very well that Duan Linbai was a virgin.

Having learned classical music since birth, although he looked dissolute, he was very conservative deep down.

Especially after he had started an entertainment media company, many people had wanted to sleep with him, both men and women. But he hadn’t taken a liking to any of them. He had said that he wanted to be a pure white lotus that emerged unsoiled from the filth.

Duan Linbai gulped nervously, his ears burning like they were on fire.

His fingers trembled as he touched the face of the person on his lap. He didn’t know where he touched, so he could only feel his way around…

Her chin was a little curved, and her mouth…

… was very soft and tender to the touch. When he went a bit higher, he felt her elegant and prominent nose, and her exhaled breath was moist and warm. When her breath landed on his fingers, he was so nervous that his heart sped up a little. His fingers touched everywhere randomly…

Then he pinched her nose.

Xu Jiamu felt terrible from being suffocated and reached out to slap his hand away.

Smack!?A red mark was left on the back of Duan Linbai’s white hand.

Little Jiang nearly laughed out loud.?My god, she hit him so fiercely?

Duan Linbai simply supported her head and pushed her to the other side. Only then did Xu Jiamu wake up with a start. She subconsciously reached out to rub her nose and sat up straight without flailing around anymore.

She looked at Duan Linbai.?Did I lean over just now?

She was too embarrassed to ask. She yawned and didn’t dare sleep anymore.

***

A few minutes later, they reached the hospital. There was still snow on the ground. Duan Linbai wasn’t familiar with this place, so he still had to be supported.

Even so, he tripped a few times and nearly fell.

“Young Master Duan, why don’t I get you a wheelchair?” Xu Jiamu raised an eyebrow.

Duan Linbai gritted his teeth, obviously angry. “I’m not a cripple!”

He rubbed his fingers and grabbed Xu Jiamu’s hand tightly.

The wind was cold, but his hand was burning hot, and there was a layer of sweat on his palm.

The journey from here to the consultation room wasn’t long, but it was extremely difficult for him. He couldn’t see, so he felt extremely insecure. Although he looked calm, he was actually very nervous.

Seeing him pretending to be calm, Xu Jiamu tightened her fingers slightly and turned her hand around to hold his hand. Her heart still softened in the end. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll support you. Take your time. I’ll tell you when there are steps.”

Duan Linbai nodded and held her even more tightly, as though he was holding on to his sole support and hope.

Little Jiang stood by the side. He had clearly been supporting Duan Linbai just now. Why had he been abandoned?

When they reached the consultation room, Xu Jiamu was still accompanying him. The doctor checked over him and said a lot of things he didn’t understand. In conclusion, his condition had improved a little, but it would still take some time for his vision to recover. Regarding the medicine he was taking, they were to be decreased.

At the start of his snow blindness, the pain in his eyes was very obvious. He definitely couldn’t take anti-inflammatory medicine and painkillers for a long period of time. The doctor came up with a new prescription, and Xu Jiamu lined up to get the medicine for him.

There were some medicines unavailable at the hospital, so they even visited a few pharmacies.

Little Jiang sighed. “Little Boss, this Miss Xu is really nice and treats you well. She came such a long way for you this morning.”

Duan Linbai rubbed his fingers. Xu Jiamu’s fingers were very soft. He brought his fingers to his nose and sniffed them.

Very fragrant.

There seems to be another unique smell.

Later, he found out that the smell had been left behind from touching corpse specimens. It made him sick.

“Say, she’s not related to you in any way. Why would she run errands for you like this?”

“Third Fu called her.”

“She’s not Third Master’s subordinate. Why would she be at his beck and call? Does Miss Xu like you?”

Duan Linbai licked his lips.

This woman wants to woo me?

Could she have deliberately pretended to be asleep and fallen on my body just now so that she could get close to me? When she knocked me over before, she was also rather gentle with me.

Is she deliberately attracting my attention?

He reached out to push the sunglasses on his nose up as the corners of his lips rose higher and higher.

Beijing, old Fu residence…

Fu Chen and Huai Sheng took a plane and arrived in the capital at around 1 p.m.

During this period, a lot had happened in the Song family, and the media reports had been one-sided. Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu wanted to know more details, so Fu Chen brought Huai Sheng straight to the old residence.

The car entered the courtyard and stopped at the entrance. Fu Chen saw a black Land Rover that was low-key but blatant and wild.

Huai Sheng jumped out of the car and stared at the car for some time.

The car seemed to have been modified, and it looked tall and cool. Although he was a monk, he was also a boy. When he saw this kind of car, his eyes inevitably lit up. He reached out to touch it twice, and his eyes couldn’t move away at all.

Fu Chen’s fingertips kept turning the prayer beads as his hand swung the dangling tassel. His voice was low and joyful. “He’s back?”

Shi Fang restrained his laughter. “You told Old Madam that you would be bringing someone back this year. Because of that, I heard she set her sights on him. She called to urge him every day and even pretended to be sick. She was making threats and promises. Would he dare not come back?”

Fu Chen let out a low laugh. He had even thought that he wouldn’t come back for Lunar New Year.

“Third Master, he probably hates you to death. He went overseas to seek refuge in the first place, but now he’s trapped at home. With Old Madam’s character, she’ll make him go on blind dates every day until the last day of Lunar New Year.

“If it were me, I would break down.

“He’s been overseas for so long. But he can’t hide forever. He has to take this blow.”

Qian Jiang suddenly said, “That’s not the most devastating thing.”

“What else could be more devastating than this?” Shi Fang asked.

“When he finds out about Third Master and Miss Song’s relationship, that will be the most devastating.”

Shi Fang was stunned for a while and cursed in his heart.?F*ck.
