Chapter 155 : Dealing with Lu Yunxiang

Lu Yunyao moved her fingers and realized her entire body was sore and weak.

What happened to her?

The events of yesterday slowly came back to her. She remembered going to meet Lu Yunxiang, only to be schemed against. Lu Yunxiang had actually tried to have two drunk men assault her!

Was she still in that previous room?

No, she was no longer there.

The familiar scent around her was reassuring.

Lu Yunyao slowly recalled hearing Mr.’s voice and being held in his arms, leaving the nightmarish place.

Later, she remembered Mr. gently urging her to relax. She had tried her best to relax, but it still hurt.

Her legs felt as though they were not her own, and her body ached as if it had been heavily crushed.

Though she couldn’t see anything, the sensations were deeply etched in her memory.

It felt like she was a small boat being tossed and turned by relentless waves, desperately clinging to a tree stump for some stability. The more she held on, the fiercer the storm became.

Her heart raced, and her cheeks burned.

“Are you awake?”

A knock on the door and Mr.’s deep voice came from outside.

“I’m awake Mr. come in.”

As soon as she spoke, she realized her throat was dry and hoarse, a result of overuse.

Fu Sichan entered the room with a tray of food, helped her sit up, and poured her a glass of warm water to soothe her throat.

After crying so much last night, it was no wonder her throat hurt this morning.

Lu Yunyao drank two large glasses of water in one go.

She was extremely thirsty.

“Mr. did you come to rescue me?” Lu Yunyao asked while drinking.

It seemed like a silly question.

Who else but Mr.?

“How did you know I was in danger?”

“I called you twice, and when you didn’t answer, I had someone track your location.”

Warmth surged in Lu Yunyao’s heart.

Mr. cared for her so much. When she didn’t answer the phone, he immediately worried she might be in danger and rushed over, leaving everything behind.

Lu Yunyao couldn’t help but ask, “What if I wasn’t in danger and just missed your calls? Wouldn’t that have been a wasted trip?”

“Even if it was a wasted trip, it’s better than you getting hurt.”

Lu Yunyao lowered her head, clutching the thick blanket.

No one had ever been this kind to her before.

This kind of selfless, unconditional care was enough to dispel all the darkness in her heart.

Mr. was her salvation.

Fu Sichan took the water cup from her hand. “Don’t drink too much. You need to eat first, and then take your medicine after.”

Lu Yunyao tried to hold back her tears and nodded obediently.

“Mr., I can eat by myself.”

“Is the soreness gone?”

Lu Yunyao blushed.

Her waist and legs felt as sore as noodles, leaving her with no strength left. Even when she had just sat up, Mr. had to help her.

Lu Yunyao stopped resisting and obediently let Mr. feed her seafood porridge spoonful by spoonful.

After finishing the meal, she smelled the bitter medicinal soup and wrinkled her brow.

“Mr. the effects of the medicine from yesterday are already gone. I don’t need to drink this herbal soup, do I?”

The young girl tugged at his sleeve, looking pitiful as she tried to bargain with him.

Fu Sichan looked at her pale face and those watery eyes, feeling a moment of softness in his heart.

However, she still needed to take the medicine.

“If you don’t want to drink it, that’s fine.”

Lu Yunyao’s eyes lit up with joy, but she was quickly dismayed when he continued:

“The medicine needs to be detoxified over a period of seven days. You’ll need to endure it again tonight.”

Lu Yunyao nearly choked!

One day was already hard enough, she had to endure it for seven days?

What about her waist and legs?

“I’ll drink it, I’ll drink it now.”

Lu Yunyao took the bowl of black medicine and downed it in one gulp.

After she finished, Fu Sichan popped a piece of candied fruit into her mouth.

The sweetness of the candied fruit dissolved on her tongue, quickly erasing the bitterness of the medicinal soup.

Exhausted from the day before, Lu Yunyao was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open.

After eating, she fell into a deep sleep once more.

Fu Sichan had the documents delivered to the villa and decided to handle work there, skipping the office altogether.

In the evening, after sleeping all day, Lu Yunyao was wide awake and full of energy.

“Mr., I didn’t go to class today. What should I do?”

“I’ve already informed the school and taken leave for you. Don’t worry.”

Lu Yunyao blinked and turned over in Fu Sichan’s arms.

“Mr. can I get up now and watch some TV?”

She was so bored.

Even if she couldn’t see the TV screen, just hearing the sound would be nice.

Fu Sichan’s gaze darkened slightly. “Have you rested well?”

“Mm.”

“Not tired anymore?”

Lu Yunyao nodded. “Mm.”

At this moment, she was completely unaware of the impending danger.

But the next second, everything spun around, and she was pressed down onto the bed.

“Mr., what are you doing? The effects of my medicine are already gone.”

Fu Sichan leaned down and came close to her ear.

“Who says that just because the medicine’s effects are gone, we can’t be intimate?”

Isn’t it normal for a couple who’s so attached to each other to want to be together all the time?

Who says we have to detoxify before we can be close?

Lu Yunyao was stunned.

She had obediently taken three bowls of medicine during the day, thinking it would earn her a peaceful night.

It turns out she had miscalculated!

“Mr. you’re so scheming.”

Fu Sichan kissed her lips, swallowing all her dissatisfaction.

……

Fu Sichan arranged a week’s leave for Lu Yunyao.

For this week, she stayed at the villa to recuperate.

But despite being told to rest, she only grew more tired!

Having a hungry wolf lurking nearby, she spent the day regaining her strength, only to be worn out again at night.

As Fu Sichan was about to enter the room, a pillow flew towards him.

“Mr. you sleep on the sofa tonight!”

Fu Sichan dodged the pillow and approached the bed. “I won’t trouble you tonight. Sleep peacefully.”

“Really?”

“Do you think I would lie to you? Can’t you trust your husband a little more?”

Fu Sichan ruffled her hair. “Tomorrow, we’ll visit the Lu family. I’ll take you to see a good show.”

In the past few days, his people had gathered a lot of evidence.

Lu Yunxiang had enjoyed the Lu family’s care and favor for years, but her intentions were corrupt, and she had repeatedly schemed against them.

It was time for her to pay the price.

On the other side, at the Lu family home.

The Lu family was bewildered upon receiving the invitation from the Fu family.

Why would President Fu come to their house?

Standing behind the Lu family members, Lu Yunxiang felt a sudden, ominous premonition as her right eyelid twitched uncontrollably.

She quickly tried to make an excuse to escape.

But Lu Feng said, “President Fu specifically mentioned you in the invitation, asking you to be at home. He’ll be arriving soon. Yunxiang, if there’s something to do, it can wait for another day.”

Lu Yunxiang’s vision darkened, and she almost fainted.
