Chapter 226 : Helping Yaoyao’s Family

Lu Yunyao had the servant bring some burn ointment.

“Mr, stretch out your hand.”

She took Fu Sichan’s large hand and carefully applied the ointment on the back of his hand.

Lu Yunyao blew on his hand a few times.

“Blow, and it won’t hurt anymore, blow…”

Fu Sichan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

At his age, being pampered like a child by his wife felt a bit amusing.

However, seeing the serious look on her face, he didn’t interrupt her.

But her warm breath on his hand brought a ticklish sensation.

Fu Sichan lowered his gaze, focusing on the tip of her pert little nose and her rosy, cherry-red lips.

Suddenly feeling a bit thirsty, he grabbed a glass of water and took a big gulp.

“That should do it.”

Lu Yunyao announced, pleased with her work.

“Mr, be careful not to get the wound wet.”

“Got it, little caretaker.”

Fu Sichan intended to ruffle her hair but she dodged away.

“You won’t let me touch your hair?”

Lu Yunyao shook her head vigorously, “No, if you do that, you’ll smudge the ointment.”

She held both of his hands and placed them on the table, where the warm sunlight streamed in, casting a glow on his long fingers.

“Mr, just let your hands bask in the sun. Don’t move around!”

Fu Sichan chuckled, “It’s just a little injury, is it really that serious?”

In the past, he’d been shot in the leg during business negotiations abroad and hadn’t even flinched.

A small burn was nothing in Fu Sichan’s eyes.

If it weren’t for her quick application of the ointment, his burn would have already healed.

Lu Yunyao shot him a stern look, “Mr, just listen to me!”

Fu Sichan smiled, a mix of helplessness and affection, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

He rested his hands on the edge of the coffee table, enjoying the sunlight.

Just then, his phone rang in his pocket.

“I’ll answer it for you!”

Not wanting him to smudge the ointment, Lu Yunyao eagerly offered.

Her small hand dove into his pants pocket, rummaging around for quite a while.

Fu Sichan’s body tensed like a drawn bow, the veins on his forehead pulsing.

He seemed to be holding back something, his voice low and seductive, “Not here, it’s in the other pocket.”

This little fool thought he wouldn’t notice her digging around. If his self-control had been any weaker, he might have pinned her down for a proper punishment.

“Oh.”

Lu Yunyao finally found his phone in the other pocket.

She answered the call and held the phone up to his ear.

Fu Sichan cooperatively leaned closer, “What’s up?”

On the other end, Assistant Wang’s voice came through, “Mr. Fu, as soon as the latest project was announced, many companies rushed to collaborate with us. Currently, we are particularly interested in Mr. Ma and Mr. Lei, both their companies have strong financial backing and their research capabilities meet our standards.”

“Both CEOs want to meet you to discuss contracts. Which one do you plan to see first?”

Fu Sichan lightly tapped the coffee table twice with his long fingers.

He glanced at Lu Yunyao beside him and replied calmly, “No rush, I have other candidates in mind.”

“Other candidates? Are they local companies from Bei City? But besides Mr. Ma and Mr. Lei, I doubt any other companies have the strength to handle such a big project.”

“No need to worry, you’ll find out when the time comes.”

Assistant Wang scratched his head in confusion, “Alright, Mr. Fu, I understand. I’ll decline the business meetings with those two CEOs.”

After hanging up, he muttered, “Strange, I haven’t heard of any new powerful companies in Bei City.”

What other company could compare to these two?

If it were another company without enough strength, they’d likely need Fu’s Group to back them financially, which would only bring unnecessary trouble.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Assistant Wang decided it wasn’t his place to question Mr. Fu’s decisions.

If he had that kind of ability, he’d be the president, not an assistant.

With that thought, he felt at ease.

Meanwhile, Lu Yunyao was holding her phone up, her arm starting to ache.

“Is your arm sore after just a moment?”

She pouted, “It’s tiring to hold it up like this, Mr!”

Fu Sichan chuckled, then glanced down at her delicate, fair hands.

“Lack of exercise,” he concluded.

He decided she needed more strength training for those little hands.

“Mr, why don’t you collaborate with those two CEOs Assistant Wang mentioned?”

Fu Sichan didn’t directly answer her question but instead said,

“Little girl, contact Mr. Lu and Lu Yunbei to schedule a meeting for tomorrow afternoon. I need to discuss something with them.”

Lu Yunyao nodded, somewhat confused, “Okay.”

She called home to inform her dad and brother about it.

“Yaoyao, did Mr. Fu say what the matter was?”

Lu Yunyao replied, “No, he didn’t. Should I ask him?”

“No need, you’ll find out during the meeting tomorrow. How’s your appetite? Are you still throwing up like before?”

Hearing her family’s concern warmed Lu Yunyao’s heart.

“Dad, brother, my appetite is great! I’m eating well and sleeping soundly, so don’t worry.”

“That’s good to hear. Your mom and I can rest easy.”

“Has Mom’s health improved?”

“A few days ago, I took your mom for a check-up, and the results were excellent. Ever since you returned, her health has been recovering quickly. Yaoyao, it’s all thanks to you.”

Lu Yunyao smiled sweetly, “I’ll come home to see you this weekend.”

“Great! I’ll have your brother pick you up.”

Since their grandmother was taken away last time, their Uncle’s family had also left the Lu family villa.

Now, it was just their immediate family, so they didn’t have to worry about any troublemakers.

Lu Feng instructed Lu Yunbei, “Replace all the furniture in the house. Let’s clear out any bad vibes and make Yaoyao feel comfortable and happy when she’s home.”

“Dad, I’ll take care of it right away!”

…

The next day, the father and son from the Lu family arrived for the meeting, feeling tense.

Even though the other party was Yaoyao’s husband, Fu Sichan’s status as the richest man in Bei City made them nervous.

When they entered the luxurious private room, Fu Sichan was already waiting at the main table.

Just as Lu Feng was about to speak, a contract was pushed toward him.

Assistant Wang handed him a pen, “Mr. Lu, if you have no objections to the contract, let’s sign it today.”

Lu Feng: ???

What’s going on?!
