Chapter 232 : Gentle Comfort

Fu Sichan took an antidote, but it only suppressed part of the drug’s effects and didn’t fully detoxify.

In the car, the doctor said shamefully, “Mr. Fu, the drug is too potent, the antidote is ineffective. There’s only one solution…”

Both Fu Sichan and Assistant Wang knew what that meant.

But Fu Sichan wouldn’t seek out another woman.

However, Lu Yunyao was pregnant, which complicated things…

Just when Assistant Wang was at a loss, Fu Sichan hoarsely commanded, “Drive back to the villa.”

“But Mr. Fu…”

“Back to the villa,” he insisted.

The driver pressed the accelerator, the luxurious car heading towards the Fu family villa.

On the way, Fu Sichan radiated intense heat, alarming everyone.

Assistant Wang, feeling anxious, glanced at his boss, silently praying for the drug’s effects to subside.

He couldn’t help but resent Bai Xuan for this situation, why choose a disgraceful path?

Fu family villa.

Lu Yunyao, confused, asked, “Mr, why are you home so early?”

Wasn’t the banquet supposed to take longer?

As night fell, Fu Sichan hurriedly embraced her, mindful of her pregnancy, holding her gently.

Despite his state, he remembered not to hurt her.

“Mr, you’re so hot!” she exclaimed, noticing his skin felt like lava.

“Mr, are you burning up?”

Assistant Wang urged, “Madam, the sir has taken traditional medicine, please help him upstairs.”

The antidote only delayed the effects, and Mr. Fu was clearly suffering.

“Mr!”

Lu Yunyao’s worry deepened, but she knew they needed to act quickly to alleviate his condition.

Staying calm, she took his hand and led him to an empty room on the first floor.

As they closed the door, Assistant Wang instructed the staff to leave the villa, ensuring privacy.

The villa fell silent, with Assistant Wang and the doctor waiting anxiously at the entrance.

“I’m worried this drug is too powerful. Will anything bad happen?” he fretted.

If anything harmed Madam, Mr. Fu wouldn’t spare him.

The doctor replied seriously, “At this point, it’s the only option. We must trust Mr. Fu, his willpower is extraordinary.”

“I believe that he can always keep his sanity and never hurt the people he loves.”

…

In the room, Fu Sichan held Lu Yunyao in his arms, greedily absorbing the familiar scent from her.

Smelling the sweet milky scent of the little girl, Fu Sichan’s tense heart relaxed.

This is the taste that makes him feel at ease and the taste he likes.

Instead of the pungent and unpleasant smell of perfume on Bai Xuan.

Today, whenever Bai Xuan approached, Fu Sichan felt like vomiting because of the smell on her.

Now that I’m with the little girl, I can finally breathe some fresh air and clear my mind.

Lu Yunyao’s eyes flickered with worry, and she said timidly, “Mr, how can I help you?”

There seemed to be a vortex hidden deep in Fu Sichan’s eyes, which could completely suck people in.

He held Lu Yunyao’s face, aimed at her delicate lips and kissed her hard.

Normally, his kisses were full of tenderness, but this time, under the influence of the drug, his movements seemed a little rough.

Lu Yunyao felt a stinging pain on her lips.

However, she did not push the Mr away, but hugged him gently.

She stroked him gently and tenderly, as if she were soothing a wounded animal.

“Mr, I will accompany you.”

No matter what happens, she will bravely stay by her Mr.’s side.

Fu Sichan held her face and said, “I’m sorry for wronging you.”

Lu Yunyao shook her head, smiling innocently and brightly, “I’m not wronged.”

The Mr was so good to her and saved her from the darkness.

It’s just a small contribution, why should she feel wronged?

…

Ever since Fu Sichan left, Bai Xuan stood alone in the box, tears dripping down her cheeks.

She looked at the broken glass on the ground and the glaring bloodstain beside the bed…

The senior brother would rather scratch himself and use the pain to stay awake than touch her.

Is she so unbearable in the eyes of the senior brother?

So what was the point of her pursuit and secret love over the years?

Bai Xuan recalled Fu Sichan’s previous cold and ruthless look, his contemptuous and mocking eyes, and… those heart-wrenching words.

These scenes were like a knife, stabbing deeply into her heart.

Suddenly, Bai Xuan looked at the bloodstain on the bed, and a strange light appeared in her eyes.

This bloodstain might come in handy.

Bai Xuan remembered her grandmother’s teachings, reigniting a flame of defiance within her.

If her grandmother could succeed back then, why should she fail?

She couldn’t just give up!

After loving her senior for so many years, how could she simply walk away?

She still had a chance!

She hadn’t completely lost!

—

After an hour of cold water baths and with Lu Yunyao’s help, Fu Sichan finally detoxified.

The terrifying redness on his skin gradually faded, returning to a normal hue.

Once his mind cleared, the first thing Fu Sichan felt was concern for Lu Yunyao.

He had put her through too much this time.

He poured several cups of water and offered them to her. “Rinse your mouth.”

Lu Yunyao’s cheeks flushed like ripe persimmons as she shyly nodded.

Soon, her mouth was filled with the minty taste of mouthwash.

Fu Sichan told her to rest in the room while he headed to the living room and opened the villa’s front door.

Seeing him back to normal, Assistant Wang felt relieved.

“Mr. Fu, you’re alright?”

“Yes. Have someone come to the study, I need to talk.”

Bai Xuan had caused such a big mess and affected Lu Yunyao, he couldn’t let this go.

Fu Sichan was too disdainful to attack Bai Xuan, but the Bai family behind her naturally could not be let off easily.
