Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 248

When Yao Zhiyue left her room, Fu Lingye took some effort to prop himself up. He unplugged the infusion tube from the back of his hand and nearly fell to the ground when he got off the bed. His legs felt weak and he held onto the bed rails to support himself until he was standing in front of a full-length mirror.

The man in the mirror had a thick bandage over his forehead, scabs on his cheeks where it was scratched and his face was ashen.

It was as though he had been asleep for a century as opposed to the seven days that Yao Zhiyue had claimed.

He reached for his forehead. What had happened?

Outside, Yao Zhiyue glanced at him through the half-closed door and turned to the butler, “Uncle Guan, do a check on Fu Xiao. I want to know where he is from and who his family members are.”

“Yes, Young Mistress.”

The butler added, “Oh yes, Young Mistress, Master said that recently the Yaos recently opened up a branch office in Bei City and needed you to be there to manage matters.”

Yao Zhiyue was surprised and said, “Is dad doing this on purpose? He's aware that other than enjoying life, I have no idea how to handle business matters, yet he actually assigned me to Bei City to manage a branch office? I think he's too rich and has nothing better to do than to watch me destroy the company.”

The butler chuckled, “Young Mistress, although you are not interested in business, you are smart. Of course, Master will not put the burden of managing the whole company on your shoulders. He had already arranged for me to accompany you on this trip.”

Yao Zhiyue glanced towards Fu Lingye, “Bring Fu Xiao along. I was feeling bored anyway. A trip to Bei City sounds good.”

“Ok, when do we leave?”

“When Fu Xiao gets better.”

“Yes.”

...

The next morning, Yao Zhiyue was seated at the dining table and having her breakfast.

The butler reported, “Young Mistress, I ordered for the investigation of Fu Xiao but nobody by the name of Fu Xiao fits his description.”

Yao Zhiyue sliced the poached egg with her knife, her lips twitched, “Ah, this fellow is actually an unregistered resident.”

“Young Mistress, do you think he lied? Perhaps Fu Xiao is not his name.”

“From the look in his eyes, I don't think he was lying.”

“Young Mistress, before we find out his identity, you should be more vigilant.”

...

A week later, Yao Zhiyue brought Fu Xiao to Bei City.

After e week of getting to know eech other, Yeo Zhiyue wes even more interested in the men.

While Fu Xieo's personelity wes cold, he wes sherp. Yeo Zhiyue loved this type of cherecter es compered to the feeble men eround her. She especielly detested the ones her ded introduced her to.
