Chapter 2 : Being taken back to the hospital

Mu Qianqian took a few steps forward, and the car beside her followed along.

Her face turned pale, and she finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “Excuse me, are you following me?”

The young girl’s voice was delicate and soft, like a pitiful little kitten.

She was slender, carrying a large yellow duck backpack, and her skin was so fair it looked  like water could be squeezed out of it. Even with her eyes closed, it was clear she was a true beauty.

Just as his grandmother had said, she was like a pure white jasmine flower. She didn’t seem like a bad person, but more like a child who hadn’t grown up.

The assistant opened the car door, and Fu Sichan stepped out, walking towards Mu Qianqian.

Standing at nearly 1.9 meters tall, he appeared like a towering mountain in front of her.

Fu Sichan asked in a deep, resonant voice, “I heard your eyes haven’t recovered yet. Why did you leave the hospital?”

The deep, magnetic male voice was so close, Mu Qianqian felt a bit shy.

It was the most pleasant voice she had ever heard.

She kept her eyes closed, turning her face in his direction, and asked, “Who are you?”

Given Fu Sichan’s previous personality, he definitely wouldn’t have the patience to talk so much to a little girl.

But seeing her thin, small face, as if she hadn’t had a full meal in a long time, Fu Sichan inexplicably felt a pang of sympathy in his heart.

“I’m my grandmother’s grandson. Thank you for saving her.”

After Fu Sichan finished speaking, he didn’t know which of his words touched Mu Qianqian’s funny spot. The girl in front of him raised her lips and smiled softly.

She was already delicate and beautiful, and with that smile, the dimples at the corners of her mouth made her even more dazzling.

The assistant and driver, standing aside, whispered to each other, “No wonder the old lady likes her. She’s kind-hearted and so beautiful.”

It was truly a pity that such a lovely girl was blind.

Mu Qianqian shook her head, “No need to thank me.”

“It’s so late, and you’re out alone. Where are you going?”

Mu Qianqian lowered her head in disappointment, “I… I don’t have anywhere to go.”

She wanted to return to her hometown, but her beloved grandparents had already passed away long ago.

Even if she went back, it would only be to a dilapidated, drafty old house.

Fu Sichan pondered for a moment. “Your eyes aren’t healed yet. I’ll take you back to the hospital.”

“No, no need…” Mu Qianqian hurriedly refused. “I’ve already spent too much of your money, and my eyes can’t be treated anymore.”

“Who told you they can’t be treated?” Fu Sichan’s voice was cold enough to freeze.

Mu Qianqian’s face turned pale with fear, and she didn’t dare to speak.

Fu Sichan realized he had been too harsh.

After years of navigating the business world, his presence was naturally commanding and intimidating, not something a young girl could easily withstand.

“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for the best doctors to treat your eyes.”

Mu Qianqian was somewhat moved.

She had nowhere else to go, so it might be better to stay with this person. Perhaps there was still a chance to regain her sight.

“Th-Thank you, Sir. I’ll go with you.”

Hearing this form of address, Fu Sichan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Sir?”

Did he really look that old?

No, this girl couldn’t see him right now and didn’t know what he looked like.

“Why do you call me ‘sir’?”

Mu Qianqian clutched the strap of her backpack and explained softly, “Because… because you’re so tall.”

He blocked out the wind as soon as he stood in front of her.

Fu Sichan’s mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

This girl was interesting.

“Get in the car. I’ll take you back.” Fu Sichan took her hand, guiding the slender girl into the car.

He was mainly worried that, since she couldn’t see, she might accidentally hurt herself, and he wouldn’t be able to explain it to his grandmother.

This scene stunned the assistant and the driver.

When did Mr. Fu become so approachable?

Inviting the young girl into the car was one thing, but holding her hand as he led her in, if the elite women of Beijing saw this, wouldn’t they be envious to the point of madness?

Mu Qianqian rarely took cars, and as soon as she got inside, she noticed a faint scent of sandalwood.

The leather seats are as soft as clouds and very comfortable to sit on.

The young girl sat stiffly beside him, unmoving like a statue.

Fu Sichan couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking about?”

Mu Qianqian timidly replied, “Sir, is this car very expensive? I’m afraid I might damage it and won’t be able to afford the repairs.”

Fu Sichan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“It’s not expensive. Don’t worry, you won’t have to pay for any damages.”

Mu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.

She had no idea that the car she was sitting in was a globally limited edition worth nine figures.

To buy this car, one would not only need money but also a high level of influence in the business world to qualify for purchase.

Mu Qianqian had been busy all day and was still recovering, so she quickly felt drowsy.

Unconsciously leaning against the pillow, she fell into a deep, sweet sleep.

The pillow was warm and comfortable, but the only downside was that it was too hard.

For the first time in his life, Fu Sichan had someone resting their head on his shoulder while he was awake.

His body tensed, his expression turned cold, and he distanced himself from her.

Poor Mu Qianqian had to settle for sleeping against the car window.

According to the information Fu Sichan had gathered, Mu Qianqian had just turned twenty this year, but she looked like a high school student.

Having worked hard at home from a young age and often being beaten and scolded, it was no wonder she was so thin and weak.

Fu Sichan wondered whether she had saved his grandmother out of a personal motive or if it was just a coincidence.

Could someone really be so foolish as to go blind just to save a stranger and have no regrets?

Mu Qianqian returned to the private hospital ward.

Fu Sichan called his friend, “Cheng Lin, send someone to keep an eye on her. If she escapes again, don’t even think about getting any more projects from me.”

This private hospital is owned by the Cheng family. Its medical level is among the best in the country, but the treatment costs are staggeringly high, so those who come in are not ordinary people.

“Mr. Fu, don’t worry. Even if I lose myself, I won’t lose your darling.” Cheng Lin said casually, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

“Watch your mouth.” Fu Sichan’s voice was cold.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep this under wraps.”

Cheng Lin assured him for a long time, and as soon as he hung up, he announced in their group chat, Mr. Fu’s iron tree has bloomed!

“What are you dreaming about, Cheng Lin? Sichan hasn’t even had a woman by his side all these years. Do you really think he’s interested in women now?”

“I’m even starting to doubt if he has some sort of issue. At twenty-nine, still disinterested in women? Could Mr. Fu possibly prefer men? Should I see if I have a chance?”

“I’m serious. Mr. Fu’s beloved is ill and staying at my family’s hospital. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourselves.”

In the group chat, there were not only Fu Sichan’s childhood friends but also several socialites who admired him. Since they couldn’t get close to Fu Sichan, they deliberately approached his associates in hopes of getting a chance to talk to him someday.

Mu Qianqian had just finished her examination and was lying on the bed, resting.

Outside the door, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor approached. The nurse urgently tried to stop her, “Miss Gu, you can’t go in.”

“Move aside! I want to see who dares to seduce my brother Sichan!”

The woman was wearing bright lipstick, big wavy hair, and a sexy fishtail skirt.

She stormed in, pushing the hospital room door open.
