Chapter 1131: Shes Chasing You

The next morning

Qin Shu woke up very early. She changed into a mans outfit a casual black zipper style that made her look taller than she was.

She did not pack much by way of luggage.

Ye Luo followed her with President Ba curled in his arms, fast asleep.

Fu Tingyu looked at his wife. It felt like she was going on a long trip again despite returning only recently. He could not bear the thought of parting with his wife so soon.

Call me when you get there. Ill head over when Im done with my work.

I will; dont worry. You should get some rest. I know youve been working late, Qin Shu responded knowingly as she got into the car.

Ye Luo followed suit with President Ba in his arms.

Fu Tingyu stood at the door and watched as the car disappeared out the gates of Bright Garden, his heart filled with worry.

Qin Shu was willful and fiercely independent, perhaps too much for comfort. She flew as and where she pleased, going wherever she wanted without him accompanying her. It was frustrating.

Standing not far away, s.h.i.+ Yan glanced at the Fourth Young Master. He knew the Young Masters character better than anyone. There was no doubt in his mind that the Fourth Young Master wanted to go with the Young Madam, and his inability to do so was bothering him.

He was, for lack of a better term, clingy.

When Fu Tingyu turned around, he noted s.h.i.+ Yans presence, a silent statue waiting for further instructions. It made him think of the movie he watched the previous day, and he shook his thinking how much of a fool s.h.i.+ Yan was.

Fu Tingyu recalled how he married Qin Shu, how he wanted to hold her as she shook in fear, and how he hoped to seal the promise of his love with a kiss. Yet, it was not meant to be. Perhaps it was his fault for being too aggressive then Maybe if he had taken a gentler approach, their love could have been as sweet as now.

s.h.i.+ Yan, who the Fourth Young Master was sizing up, felt guilty. He had a strong desire to live, so he amended his thoughts on the matter, The Fourth Young Master is not a clingy person. He just cares a lot for the Young Madam.

s.h.i.+ Yan, Fu Tingyu called.

s.h.i.+ Yan bowed in deference and asked, Fourth Young Master, what are your orders?

Fu Tingyu took two steps forward, standing face to face with s.h.i.+ Yan. Where did you go last night?

s.h.i.+ Yan was 187 cm tall, two centimetres shorter than Fu Tingyu. At this moment, he felt a lot shorter than he was, and the difference in their height added to the pressure. If the Fourth Young Master wanted the truth, then it was the truth he would give. Mo Cheng and I watched a movie yesterday after work.

Fu Tingyu pressed, And then?

s.h.i.+ Yan met the Young Masters eyes. He did not understand the Fourth Young Masters sudden interest in his affairs, but he answered honestly, Then I sent her home.

You didnt go to her house? Fu Tingyu clarified.

Mo Cheng is an unmarried woman living in a rented apartment. It isnt appropriate for a bachelor like me to intrude or overstay my welcome. After all, it was quite late when we reached her place. Cold sweat began forming on s.h.i.+ Yans forehead. Did the Fourth Young Master think he had an interest in Mo Cheng?

Fu Tingyu felt that his wife was right. There was a reason why s.h.i.+ Yan was still single.

Arent the two of you in a relations.h.i.+p? Whats wrong with you staying overnight?

s.h.i.+ Yan hurriedly explained, Young Master, youve misunderstood. Mo Cheng and I are just friends. Ive been in contact with her because the Young Master invested in her company dealing with childrens clothing.

Fu Tingyu heaved an inward sigh. Shes right.

s.h.i.+ Yan asked in puzzlement, What did the Fourth Young Master say?

Fu Tingyu did not answer. Instead, he asked, Then who suggested the movie?

Mo Cheng, s.h.i.+ Yan replied dutifully.

The corners of Fu Tingyus mouth curled up. Youre right again.

s.h.i.+ Yan asked in puzzlement, Huh?

Fu Tingyu ignored the quizzical look s.h.i.+ Yan trained towards him, redirecting the attention with another question, So a woman takes the initiative to invite you out for a movie What do you make of it?

s.h.i.+ Yan answered, She arrived at the company around lunch, a little past noon. I brought her to the staff canteen for a meal, and that was when she asked if I was free later that night to watch a movie together. I checked my schedule, and I happened to have some spare time, so I agreed.

Hearing this, Fu Tingyu rubbed his forehead, which was rare. Youre hopeless.

s.h.i.+ Yan tilted his head in confusion. Young Master, is something wrong? Why do you say I am hopeless?

At this moment, Lizhi walked over with Nan Nan and asked Ye Qing to send the Young Miss to school.

Fu Tingyu stopped her. Lizhi, come over here.

Lizhi jogged over and politely inquired, Young Master, is there anything you need?

Under what circ.u.mstances do you think a woman would invite a man to watch a movie? Fu Tingyu asked.

Young Master, I think youve gotten it mixed up. Usually, the man invites a woman out to watch a movie on a date. Though it is not unheard of for the opposite to occur. In such a case, the woman likely possesses a good relations.h.i.+p with the man, perhaps as friends or relatives.

However, these two situations are very easy to distinguish. If the woman likes the man, the frequency with which she might contact the man for such events may increase. It could be anything meals, movies, shopping, etc.

Lizhis explanation was logical, but she secretly rejoiced in her heart. Romance novels were her greatest source of inspiration, and it seemed her time had been well spent.

Fu Tingyu turned to s.h.i.+ Yan and asked, Do you understand? He did not give s.h.i.+ Yan any time to react before stepping into the living room.

s.h.i.+ Yan stood rooted to the spot as if struck by a bolt from the blue. He could vaguely sense the reason behind the Fourth Young Masters line of questioning.

He carefully reconstructed the matter between him and Mo Cheng.

Whether it was eating or going to the movies, Mo Cheng had always taken the initiative to ask him out.

A woman had gone to his house to cook and arrive at the company to give Ye Chen something.

She even asked him what kind of woman he liked.

When the Fourth Young Master was out of earshot, Lizhi sidled up to s.h.i.+ Yan curiously. Special a.s.sistant s.h.i.+, did someone invites you to watch a movie?

s.h.i.+ Yan locked eyes with Lizhi, wondering how a girl of her youth and marital status could know the subtleties of human relations.h.i.+ps.

He side-stepped the question with one of his own, Does a woman who takes the initiative to invite a man out for a movie mean she has feelings for him?

Not necessarily. It depends on the situation. Itll be quite obvious if the woman is the type to chase a man. It wouldnt be as simple as inviting her love interest to a movie, Lizhi said. Her words caused s.h.i.+ Yans eyes to light up.

s.h.i.+ Yan laughed. Are you sure youre single?

Although I dont have a boyfriend, Ive read many romance novels where the female lead chases after male idols like this. Almost all female leads Ive read about seem to share this trait, Lizhi said, her tone brooking no room for argument.

Alright, you win, s.h.i.+ Yan shook his head helplessly.

s.h.i.+ Yan, youre not young anymore. Its time for you to start a family, Lizhi emphasised, throwing him a wink as she left to complete her other duties.

s.h.i.+ Yan heaved a long sigh. Of course, he knew that he was not young anymore.

When he thought of Mo Cheng, her youthful face, he would smile almost, and an inexplicable emotion would flutter in his chest. Yet, his smile dimmed.

Did Mo Cheng like him?

That was unlikely.

As s.h.i.+ Yan walked up the stairs, doubt clouding his eyes, he received a call from Ye Chen.

Whats the matter?

Do you think Mo Cheng has a boyfriend? Ye Chen chattered excitedly.

No, I dont think. Why do you ask?

Oh, its nothing. Its good to know that she does not have a boyfriend. Im hoping to catch up with her. Do you think you could be my wingman? Ill treat you to a meal!

Before s.h.i.+ Yan could ask any more questions, he realised Ye Chen had already hung up. He gripped his phone and considered dialling Mo Chengs number. Eventually, he gave in to temptation.

While he was busy organising his thoughts, Mo Cheng answered the phone, What can I do for you, Mr s.h.i.+?

s.h.i.+ Yans voice failed him, his words dying in his throat. He settled for the first thing that came to mind, Oh, its nothing much. I was just wondering how you and Ye Chen are doing.

Its been the usual. Did he say something to you? A hint of disappointment tinged Mo Chengs words. She thought that s.h.i.+ Yan called because he had something important he wanted to say to her.

Nothing. Did you s.h.i.+ Yan felt it would be quite abrupt for him to pop such a sensitive question out of the blue.
