Chapter 917: The Trouble Caused by Giving a Man a Ma.s.sage

Fu Tingyu looked up at Fu Tingyan. He appeared no different from usual. With an air of indifference, he asked, Whats the progress with your problem?

Oh. Fu Tingyan swallowed his food and responded casually, Ive decided to put my career first. Ive already given up on the problem.

Fu Tingyan continued with his meal, seemingly unconcerned by Fu Tingyus question. He still preferred the food prepared at Bright Garden to what he was eating now.

Fu Tingyan meant that it was useless for a bachelor like him to consider anything more than his career since he was not in a relations.h.i.+p. Therefore, it was pointless talking about anything else for the moment.

Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu looked at each other. They both knew how significant the matter was.

Fu Tingyan had come out of the closet the day he returned. His words were firm and resolute, broking no room for discussion, and there could be none when he spoke so seriously.

It had only been a few days since he made the announcement. Had he given up on the idea already?

Qin Shu shot Fu Tingyan a glance. For him to speak so calmly made it sound like more than two days had pa.s.sed since the day of the incident.

Could something have happened when they sent Bo Ye back?

Xiao Jiu finished his last mouthful of rice. He wiped the stains around his mouth using a paper napkin. After which, he turned to Fu Tingyan and said, Uncle, Im full.

Im done too. Lets go. Uncle will bring you to the backyard to play. Fu Tingyan put down his chopsticks, mimicking his nephews actions. Brother, sister-in-law, Ill bring Xiao Jiu to the backyard to play for a while.

Fu Tingyu nodded. Okay.

Fu Tingyan lifted Xiao Jiu from his chair and carried him to the backyard.

Qin Shu watched Fu Tingyan carry Xiao Jiu away, Xiao Yan seems to have been deeply hurt by the incident.

Fu Tingyu knew his younger brother well. He was not one to give up so easily not after he had made such a reckless declaration. Everyone has a bottom line; it just so happened that his younger brother expressed it differently from most others.

Fu Tingyans bottom line was his pride.

Im sure hell bounce back soon enough.

I hope, for his sake, that itll be as you say. Qin Shu murmured.

Oh right, Ill be going to Xiyan tomorrow with Mo Chengxu. I shouldnt be gone for more than a few weeks. The dress ought to be ready by then. We can take our wedding photos when I return, Fu Tingyu said.

Okay. Dont worry about me. I wont be at home. Qin Shu continued eating.

Fu Tingyu paused and turned to his wife. Seeing her indifferent expression, he asked, Arent you going to come with me?

Qin Shu shook her head. No, I plan to go to Nan Yue.

What are you going to Nan Yue for? Fu Tingyu asked.

Do you still remember Yun Yao?

Yes, I do. Are you going to look for Yun Yao?

Yes. Yun Yao asked for my help, so Im going to see what I can do for him.

You agreed? Fu Tingyus eyes darkened.

I did. Im not going to Nan Yue just to return a favour, you know. Im also going to see Master Baili.

Qin Shu missed Master Baili. She did not know what had transpired between Master Baili and her mother for him to leave so suddenly.

Fu Tingyu could see that Qin Shu had already made up her mind, so he did not stop her. Fine. Be careful when you go.

Dont worry. Ill be fine. You, on the other hand, should bring a few more bodyguards with you, Qin Shu reminded him.

Fu Tingyu nodded. I will.

Qin Shu ate another two mouthfuls before whispering in Fu Tingyus ear. Youve been so busy at work lately. Would you like a ma.s.sage later?

Fu Tingyu was in a bad mood, but when he felt Qin Shus breath against his skin, her voice in his ears, his throat tightened, and his heart raced. It was like a feather tickling his heart.

It was not the end, however. Qin Shu worked her way around Fu Tingyus tense shoulders, easing the knots through the thin fabric of his navy blue s.h.i.+rt. Her soft touch sent a jolt down his spine, tingling the firm muscles around his shoulders and back.

I taught myself a few tricks. This technique is said to improve sleep and relax the body. What do you think?

He could feel Qin Shus body against his; the heat radiating off of her, coupled with the heater in the dining room, quickly made him feel hot and thirsty.

Its amazing No, its more than that Fu Tingyu rasped, his voice full of expectation.

Fu Tingyu worked through the night, only exiting his study in the wee hours before dawn. He immediately went for a shower.

When Qin Shu stepped out of the small study, she happened to see Fu Tingyu walking out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. His black hair was still dripping wet.

Fu Tingyu had a killer figure, the envy of any runway model. He had muscles in all the right places, chiselled, clearly defined, and yet supple.

His six-pack abs were displayed, tapering to a cut, V-shaped mermaid line. The position of the towel was just right to expose the s.e.xy mermaid line. He was the epitome of masculine perfection.

Fu Tingyu dried his wet hair with a towel. He became aware of a presence at the door and looked up, seeing his wife staring at him. Werent you going to give me a ma.s.sage? Lets start.

Okay. Qin Shu smiled.

Fu Tingyu led the way to their Alaskan King-sized bed, beckoning over his shoulder for Qin Shu to follow. He was eager to receive the ma.s.sage promised to him.

Give me a moment. Let me get the essential oil. Qin Shu squatted by the bedside table and opened the drawer. She took out the bottle of essential oil she had prepared beforehand.

Opening it, she poured out a little and applied it to Fu Tingyus back.

Im going to start, she said as she eased him in.

Okay, Fu Tingyu responded. He could feel Qin Shus hands working their way up and down his back and around his shoulders; her touch sent a current through his skin, pulling at his nerves and pining his muscles. Now and then, he could not help but tense up when she kneaded a particularly sensitive spot.

Qin Shu adjusted her strength every time she felt him tense. Applying too much pressure was as bad as using too little; it had to be just right. Relax. Close your eyes and enjoy it.

Fu Tingyu did not say a word, doing his best to unwind.

He could not tell if Qin Shu was trying to help him or torture him instead.

Around half an hour into the session, Qin Shu asked, Baby Yu, how do you feel?

You mean how I feel now? Fu Tingyu quipped hoa.r.s.ely.

Qin Shu nodded. Yes. If it feels good, Ill continue for a while more.

Fu Tingyu managed a m.u.f.fled laugh. Come closer, and Ill tell you.

Qin Shu supported herself on the bed with both hands, confused. She did as her husband bade, leaning in closer. How do you feel?

I feel good, so good that I cant hold out any longer. Fu Tingyu lunged forward, grabbing her arm and pulling her into his arms.

Qin Shu only felt the world spinning around her. Suddenly, she felt a pair of warm lips pressing against her, catching her off guard.

Though taking her by surprise, Qin Shu could guess what Fu Tingyu wanted.

Wasnt it supposed to be just a ma.s.sage?

How did she end up in this position?

Fu Tingyu eyed her hungrily. Babe, what do you think of my ma.s.sage?

You tricked me! All you want is revenge! Qin Shu cried unhappily.

Fu Tingyu chuckled. Babe, youve got it all wrong. How could I think of taking revenge?

Y-you rascal!

Babe, dont you think my ma.s.sage is better than yours?

Fu Tingyu used all of Qin Shus techniques on her. At times, his strength was light and at others, heavy. He concentrated his efforts in a specific area.

Qin Shu could not take it anymore, and so she threatened, Enough, enough. If you dont stop, youll force my hand!

Fu Tingyu chuckled again, Babe, youve sure got some moves. Let me help you there Ill give you your hearts desire..
