Chapter 114 : Jealousy

The phone rang, and Fu Sichan, having just emerged from the bathroom, answered it.

“Hello?”

As he looked up, he was met with an incredibly enticing scene.

The bathroom Mu Qianqian chose had glass walls.

Inside, the sounds of water and the rising steam cast her slender, delicate figure against the glass.

Fu Sichan’s eyes darkened, and he unconsciously swallowed.

“Mr. Fu, Assistant Xiao and I went out shopping and bought some late-night snacks. Would you like any?”

Assistant Wang’s voice broke through Fu Sichan’s distraction.

“Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu?”

Fu Sichan’s gaze shifted slightly as he snapped back to reality.

He rubbed his temples, his voice coming out low and hoarse.

“Have it delivered in a bit.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.”

After hanging up, the sound of water in the bathroom gradually ceased.

Mu Qianqian found her clothes and rustled as she put them on.

Fu Sichan forced himself to look away.

If he kept looking, tonight might lead to something irreparable.

Mu Qianqian, dressed in a thin silk nightgown and wearing fluffy bunny slippers, stepped out of the bathroom.

She was unaware that she had inadvertently seduced the older man again.

The doorbell rang.

It was likely Assistant Wang and the others delivering the late-night snacks.

Mu Qianqian, in her nightgown revealing her fair, delicate collarbone and her slender arms, answered the door.

Fu Sichan glanced at her.

Privately, he didn’t want anyone else seeing her like this.

Fu Sichan had her stay in the bedroom while Assistant Wang placed the snacks on the coffee table in the living room.

“Come out and have some late-night snacks.”

During dinner earlier, Mu Qianqian hadn’t eaten much because it wasn’t to her taste.

Unexpectedly, such a small detail had caught the uncle’s attention and was remembered.

“I had it bought according to your taste. Eat a bit more.”

Mu Qianqian nodded like a little chick pecking at rice.

“Okay.”

She sat on the sofa, enjoying the snacks.

She also turned on the TV, using the show’s plot as background noise.

After a while, she had only managed to eat a small portion.

Fu Sichan frowned, “Why are you eating like a bird? Taking such tiny bites.”

Mu Qianqian blinked innocently.

“Mr. this is just my normal eating speed.”

Her mouth was only so big, she couldn’t just shove everything in at once, could she?

That would be too much!

At that moment, the TV was showing a romantic scene between the lead characters.

Surprisingly, there was a domestic idol drama here.

The female lead clung to the male lead’s neck, coquettishly asking,

“Carry me to bed.”

“Okay, but don’t regret it later…”

Afterward, there were sounds of ambiguous breathing and the bed shaking.

Mu Qianqian’s face turned so red it was almost bleeding, and she couldn’t eat another bite.

“Are you full?”

Mu Qianqian nodded and put down her chopsticks.

Fu Sichan was puzzled by how little she had eaten.

When he looked up, he saw the TV show playing.

Fu Sichan, who never watched idol dramas, stared at the screen for two minutes, his brow furrowing deeply.

“Did you used to like watching these kinds of dramas?”

Mu Qianqian nodded, “Yes, who doesn’t want a sweet romance?”

“Do you ever get emotionally involved when you watch them?”

“Sometimes, yes.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Sichan turned off the TV with a “click.”

“Mr. why did you turn it off?”

Mu Qianqian was a bit anxious and lightly hit him twice.

She was looking forward to the “elopement” plotline.

Fu Sichan grabbed her wrist, firmly holding it.

“From now on, you’re not allowed to watch these kinds of messy shows.”

Mu Qianqian was confused, “Why?”

“Because…”

Fu Sichan hesitated.

He didn’t want her thinking about other men, even if they were just characters in a drama.

Fu Sichan came up with a vague excuse, “Because it’s not nutritious.”

Mu Qianqian pouted.

“But watching idol dramas is meant to be relaxing.”

If life only involved studying and no relaxation or rest, wouldn’t it be too dull?

“Watching too much TV is bad for your eyes.”

Mu Qianqian countered, “I wasn’t watching, I was just listening.”

Fu Sichan’s expression darkened, adopting a patriarchal tone.

“In the future, you can only watch ten minutes of TV after doing an hour of homework.”

Mu Qianqian felt defeated.

The tasks he assigned were too difficult; every time she did them, she felt as if she was being drained.

If she had to do homework to watch TV, she would… rather not watch at all.

On her way back to the bedroom, Mu Qianqian accidentally bumped her leg against the corner of a table.

“Ow!”

She hit a nerve and her leg wouldn’t move.

Fu Sichan supported her, “How could you be so careless?”

Mu Qianqian was unsteady, almost leaning entirely on him.

The next moment, the world spun for her.

Fu Sichan picked her up horizontally.

“If you don’t want to fall, hold onto me.”

His voice was deep and teasing, carrying a playful tone.

Fu Sichan pretended to let go, and Mu Qianqian’s body fell for two seconds.

She quickly clung to his neck in fear.

Their bodies were pressed closely together.

Fu Sichan took a deep breath and carried her back to the bed.

Mu Qianqian rubbed her ankle, secretly thinking to herself.

Uncle carrying her back to bed was exactly like a scene from an idol drama.

According to the drama, the next scene should be… them getting intimate.

Mu Qianqian’s mind went blank, and her face turned bright red instantly.

She shook her head, quickly trying to banish those unwholesome thoughts from her mind.

But the more she tried not to think about it, the more her mind raced.

Oh, how frustrating!

…

By night, sure enough, the distant sound of “bang, bang” gunshots could be heard.

Mu Qianqian huddled under the blanket, pulling it over herself.

The lights in the bedroom went out.

Fu Sichan got into bed and lay down beside her.

“Mr. it’s so dangerous here. Will we be okay?”

“Don’t worry.”

Compared to her anxiety, Fu Sichan appeared extremely calm and composed.

When they arrived, they were not without protection, each bodyguard was armed.

The bodyguards were stationed upstairs and downstairs, and there were snipers in nearby suites. Even if trouble arose, they would be safe.

The outside was still in chaos.

“Bang, bang”—

Each sound seemed to strike at Mu Qianqian’s heart.

She trembled uncontrollably, pressing closer to Fu Sichan.

For some reason, as long as she was near Mr, she felt inexplicably reassured.

But while she was reassured, Fu Sichan was instead restless and unable to sleep.

The young girl’s body was warm and soft, almost irresistibly tempting.

Even Fu Sichan, who usually didn’t care for sweet things, felt his resolve wavering.

“Mr. are you running a fever?”

Why is Mr. so hot?

Mu Qianqian worriedly touched his arm and then his forehead.

“Don’t move.”

Fu Sichan exhaled a hot breath and abruptly grabbed her hand.

In the darkness, his eyes were unfathomable, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

How could she still ask?

If it weren’t for her, how could he feel this way?
