Fu Qianchen felt the warmth in her hand. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and his voice was a bit hoarse. "Go to sleep."
Feng Yu nodded and obediently lay down beside the bed.
His big, cold hand covered her forehead. After gently stroking it, just as he was about to get up and leave, the young girl couldn't help but grab his big hand. "Can you stay with me tonight?"
"Okay."
Fu Qianchen clasped her fair hand back and lay down beside her. This room had accompanied him since childhood, but he had never found it warm before. But now...
Before long, she fell into a dream. No one knew what she was dreaming about, but there was actually a faint, beautiful curve on the corner of her mouth.
Only then did Fu Qianchen lean over and gently kiss her forehead, murmuring, "Good night."
She had a sweet dream all night.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
A commotion outside interrupted Feng Yu's wonderful dream. She opened her eyes groggily and glanced casually.
Maybe it was the little black cat playing around and making the noise.
"Stop making noise," Feng Yu frowned and then turned over to try to go back to sleep.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
This time the knocking seemed a bit louder.
Was this the sound of knocking on the door? That meant there was someone outside?
"Mr. Fu..."
She suddenly opened her eyes wide. Just as she was wracking her brains about how to hide Fu Qianchen, she found that he was no longer beside her bed.
She reached out and felt the place where he had slept last night. The bedsheet was already cold.
He had left last night.
There was a bit of disappointment in Feng Yu's eyes, but she quickly put away her emotions. She quickly tidied up her appearance and then slowly opened the door of the room.
"Third Young Mistress."
Feng Yu stepped past the maid who had been knocking on the door and looked at Old Mrs. Fu behind them. She pursed her thin lips slightly and said neither arrogantly nor humbly, "Grandma, you came to see me so early in the morning. Is there something you need from me?"
"Are you getting used to sleeping here, Xiaoyu?" Old Mrs. Fu asked calmly.
Feng Yu looked up at Old Mrs. Fu and said, "I slept very soundly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out to see you so late."
But it was obvious that Old Mrs. Fu's purpose in coming here this time was not to ask about how she had rested, but...
It was about that little black cat last night!
With a glance from her, the maids directly stepped past Feng Yu and walked into her room, trying to take the little black cat out.
But that little black cat was very feisty. It directly scratched these people with its claws and then ran to Feng Yu's feet, meowing aggrievedly as if complaining to Feng Yu about its grievances.
Feng Yu squatted down and picked up the little black cat in her arms. While stroking its fur, she looked at Old Mrs. Fu. "Grandma, this little black cat is just a stray cat. It's inevitable that it has a bit of a fierce temper. I'd better stay away from you. I'm afraid it might accidentally hurt you if it's not well - behaved."
After saying that, she took a step back symbolically.
Old Mrs. Fu glanced at the stray cat in her arms, and her voice softened a bit. "I heard you say last night that a stray cat had run into your room. I found it quite strange, so I had someone check the surveillance footage overnight."
What?!
She had actually checked the surveillance footage for this little black cat? Then last night when Fu Qianchen walked in through the door... it would all have been captured by the surveillance cameras in the villa? Wouldn't Fu Qianchen's identity be exposed?
Thinking of this, the strength of her hand stroking the black cat couldn't help but increase slightly, but on the surface, she still pretended to be calm, looking as if she knew nothing.
"It's a pity that there was a problem with last night's surveillance footage, and we didn't capture how this little black cat climbed into your room."
After hearing Old Mrs. Fu's words, Feng Yu secretly felt relieved and continued to pet the cat in her hand.
No wonder Fu Qianchen had swaggered into her room last night. It turned out that he had already tampered with the outside surveillance cameras.
Well, with his character and abilities, how could he leave any traces of himself for others?
Seeing her calm appearance, Old Mrs. Fu obviously dispelled her original thoughts and reminded her, "The Fu family is, after all, a super - aristocratic family. As the young mistress of the Fu family, you should always think about how to maintain the honor of the Fu family. You should know what to pick up and..."
She deliberately paused for a moment, and her voice became a bit more serious. "What not to pick up."
Feng Yu lowered her head and seemingly admitted Old Mrs. Fu's words on the surface. "Yes, I naturally understand. Since I've married into the Fu family, I will naturally maintain the honor of the Fu family and will never do anything beyond the line."
Old Mrs. Fu probably had heard the rumors outside and thought that she had brought her "lover" into the Fu family last night, which was why she had come to test her early this morning.
But...
Although Fu Qianchen was presumed dead, he was still a member of the Fu family. She hadn't done anything beyond the line, so she didn't violate these words.
Hearing her say this, Old Mrs. Fu nodded in satisfaction and changed the topic. "Well, it's just a stray cat. There's no need to make our mother - in - law and daughter - in - law relationship so tense."
"Grandma, if there's nothing else..."
"There is something. There will be a banquet at our Fu family tomorrow, and I need you to attend it with me."
She had just married into the Fu family and her husband had died. There were also bad rumors about her outside. She didn't know what Old Mrs. Fu was thinking about her. It was better to have less contact with her.
"But I have a work arrangement tomorrow." Using work as an excuse to decline, Old Mrs. Fu surely wouldn't force her to attend.
But Old Mrs. Fu obviously wasn't convinced by this excuse. "All the daughters - in - law of the Fu family have to attend tomorrow night."
"Okay, I will definitely attend in full dress and won't disgrace the Fu family." Feng Yu didn't dare to decline anymore and had to agree to Old Mrs. Fu's request.
Seeing that she was sensible, Old Mrs. Fu didn't make things difficult for her anymore and left her room.
After Old Mrs. Fu left, Feng Yu returned to her room and immediately fell onto her bed. She turned to look at the little black cat, and there was a bit more tenderness in her eyes.
"Meow—" The little black cat gently licked her face as if trying to comfort her.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to tease the cat, suddenly her phone rang. It was a text message from Lu Zhiqian: [10 o'clock. Don't forget our appointment.]
Oh right, she had promised to accompany Lu Zhiqian to the golf course before.
Feng Yu casually changed into a piece of clothing and rushed to the Malfoy Golf Course where she had made an appointment with Lu Zhiqian.
Outside the golf course.
Lu Zhiqian had already been waiting for her here.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Feng Yu quickly ran in front of him and then quickly explained, "I was delayed by some things this morning. I didn't keep you waiting for too long, did I?"
"No." Lu Zhiqian gave her a cold look.
"Where are we going now? Go directly to play golf?" Feng Yu asked again.
Lu Zhiqian put his hands in his trouser pockets and didn't directly respond to her. He just looked as if he wanted her to follow him.
Seeing Actor Lu like this, Feng Yu didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to follow him.
She saw Actor Lu striding into a sports - clothing store inside the golf course, then picked up a set of sports clothes and put them in her arms.
"Aren't these Actor Lu and the hot - search queen Feng Yu! Are you really together?"
