Chapter 94 : Lu Yunbei Investigates Qianqian

“Miss Ye, are you good friends with Mu Qianqian? Then you should know some things about her family, right?”

Lu Yunbei asked with a hint of urgency.

He needed more information about Mu Qianqian to confirm her identity.

Ye Wanqing thought for a moment. “Qianqian doesn’t often talk about her family. All I know is that she has a younger brother and that her family isn’t very nice to her.”

Lu Yunbei felt a pang in his heart.

The family that adopted his sister isn’t treating her well?

“Oh, right. I think her family lives in a county near Bei City. I’ve forgotten which one.”

Lu Yunbei asked, “How did you meet her?”

“She worked at the hotel where I was staying. We hit it off immediately and quickly became friends.”

Lu Yunbei frowned.

Working while still in college?

Is his sister’s life that tough?

“How old is Mu Qianqian this year?”

Ye Wanqing gave him a puzzled look. “You seem very interested in Qianqian. She’s twenty this year.”

Lu Yunbei’s heart warmed.

Her age matches that of his sister.

He needed to investigate more about Mu Qianqian when he got back. If she really is his sister… then the pain their mother has carried for years might finally be eased.

This matter is extremely important for the Lu family.

“Sorry, Miss Ye, I have an urgent matter to attend to and can’t stay with you any longer.”

Ye Wanqing was a bit disappointed but understood. “Alright, let’s meet another day.”

“Mm, goodbye.”

Lu Yunbei hurriedly said his goodbyes and left.

Once he was out of sight, he immediately called his subordinate.

“Help me investigate someone…”

……

Back at home, Mu Qianqian received countless phone calls.

She hung up one after another.

“Who’s calling?” Fu Sichan asked.

Mu Qianqian looked distressed.

“Some people want to sign me for commercials, or for reality shows, or web dramas.”

In short, after gaining fame, a lot of people wanted to pull her into the entertainment industry.

“I just want to focus on my studies and not enter the entertainment industry.” Mu Qianqian pouted. “Mr. I should have listened to you and not participated in this competition.”

For the sake of twenty thousand yuan, she had lost her peaceful study environment.

Mu Qianqian wasn’t sure if the trade-off was worth it.

Fu Sichan rubbed her head and extended his hand.

“Give me your phone.”

Mu Qianqian trustingly handed over her phone.

Fu Sichan operated the phone for a moment.

“I’ve set up a blocker for you. Don’t worry, you won’t be bothered by these unknown numbers anymore.”

Mu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Mr.”

Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly remembered something.

“Oh no, I forgot. Someone had agreed to talk to me after the competition. I completely forgot about it.”

She was very frustrated.

Her memory was so poor, the moment she saw Fu Sichan, she forgot everything else.

“Who?”

Mu Qianqian hesitated for a couple of seconds, stammering.

“It’s a classmate, just an ordinary classmate.”

The girl was too transparent. Fu Sichan immediately saw that she was hiding something.

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of coldness. “Is it a male or female classmate?”

Mu Qianqian kept her head down and didn’t speak, pretending to be a timid quail.

“Mu Qianqian.”

Fu Sichan called her name slowly, each word laced with a chilling menace.

“Do you want to face disciplinary action again?”

Why was this girl always attracting attention?

Whenever he let his guard down, there were restless men eyeing her.

It seemed he wasn’t being vigilant enough.

Mu Qianqian recalled the last time she faced “discipline” and felt her face burning with embarrassment.

It wasn’t the physical pain that bothered her, but— Being held down on the sofa and spanked by her husband was something that anyone would find humiliating!

Mu Qianqian quickly covered her face and confessed.

“It’s a male classmate. The one who helped me find the coffee shop job last time.”

Fu Sichan took a deep breath.

The fury roiling in his chest was almost palpable.

It was that restless, troublesome boy again.

Didn’t he open his eyes and see that Mu Qianqian was not someone he should be thinking about?

Fu Sichan asked in a deep voice, “What’s his name?”

Mu Qianqian was intimidated by his imposing presence, shrinking her neck as she timidly said:

“His name is Fu Qianxing.”

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

Fu Sichan didn’t catch it clearly and frowned, “What?”

“Fu Qianxing.”

Mu Qianqian raised her voice, and this time Fu Sichan heard it clearly.

Fu Qianxing?

The name was all too familiar to him.

Fu Sichan was so enraged that he almost laughed, his face dark and stormy.

“So it’s him.”

The person constantly thinking about his wife turned out to be a relative!

It seemed this guy was itching for trouble, deserving a good beating.

Mu Qianqian weakly tugged at his sleeve, on the verge of tears.

“Mr. please don’t be impulsive.”

Fu Sichan’s gaze was as deep as a bottomless pit. “Oh? Are you still trying to protect him?”

Mu Qianqian shook her head vigorously, fearing Fu Sichan might misunderstand.

“No, I’m just afraid you’ll get involved. To me, he’s just an ordinary classmate, but you’re… my husband.”

Her cheeks flushed as she uttered the embarrassing term.

It had to be said, the words “husband” did have an effect.

It was like a soothing balm, calming Fu Sichan’s nearly exploding temper.

“Don’t worry, I know how to handle it.”

Mu Qianqian bit her lip, still uneasy.

Her Mr.’s possessiveness was too intense… how could anyone withstand that?

At that moment, far away at the villa, Fu Qianxing sneezed suddenly.

Why did the air feel so cold?

Had the temperature dropped?

“Come here.” Fu Sichan’s voice was commanding.

Mu Qianqian cautiously moved to his side.

“Mr. is something wrong?”

Fu Sichan’s hand supported her under her arms, effortlessly lifting her up and throwing her over his shoulder.

Mu Qianqian, facing downward, flailed in fright.

“Mr. put me down! What are you going to do?”

Fu Sichan’s large hand gave her rear a firm pat. “Stop shouting.”

Mu Qianqian covered her flushed face, too embarrassed to make a sound.

She bit her lip so hard it almost bled.

Fu Sichan carried her into the bedroom.

Then he tossed her onto the bed.

Mu Qianqian’s heart was pounding rapidly.

Was… Mr. about to do something to her?

Mu Qianqian swallowed nervously, her face burning red, with a faint sense of anticipation.

But the weight she expected didn’t come.

Fu Sichan adjusted his tie, standing by the bed and looking down at her from above.

“What are you waiting for? Get up and do your homework.”

Mu Qianqian let out a surprised “Ah.”

So Mr. had carried her into the room just to make her do her homework.

She had thought, she had thought…

Mu Qianqian quickly pushed those unhealthy thoughts out of her mind.

She sat up from the bed, licked her lips, and said, “I—I’ll do it now.”
