Chapter 504 - 491
"That should be enough." Yu Sangwan raised her hand to call the waiter. She was familiar with Lu Jinxuan’s tastes and took it upon herself to order for him. After ordering, she asked him, "Is it enough?"
"Mm." Lu Jinxuan gave a vague response.
When the meal arrived, Yu Sangwan, preoccupied with thoughts of her father, barely had an appetite. She only sipped her fruit tea in small gulps.
With a bad attitude, Lu Jinxuan pushed a plate towards her, "Eat it!"
"No need..." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I’m not hungry."
"Eat it now!" Lu Jinxuan, without much patience, said, "You don’t even know what’s going on with your father yet. You should eat what you can, do you hear me?"
Thinking about his words, Yu Sangwan realized he was right. She frowned a bit but obediently picked up a spoon and began to eat.
Lu Jinxuan smiled slightly, feeling a bit better. Actually, she was pretty obedient when she wasn’t throwing a tantrum.
But... Lu Jinxuan stared at the plate, frowning. Why are there so many onions and garlic?
The ’ding ding’ sound of cutlery clashing on the plate grabbed Yu Sangwan’s attention, and she pouted her cheeks, lifting her head... only to see Lu Jinxuan, sitting across from her, picking out... onions and garlic?
"Hm?" Yu Sangwan furrowed her brows as something flashed through her mind.
Lu Jinxuan noticed her expression, "What are you looking at?"
"You..." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "What’s with this habit of yours? Are you picky about eating onions and garlic only at certain times?"
Lu Jinxuan was startled, a cold sweat dripping down his back.
Yu Sangwan didn’t press further; instead, she patiently helped him pick them out, "Let me do it! You’re wasting edible food by picking like that..."
While picking, she continued, "I remember you eat everything! Except for that time in the apartment, you were picky then too... What’s up with you? Are you only picky with food intermittently?"
"..."
Lu Jinxuan was so startled he stared blankly, cold sweat trickling down his temples as if he’d been shocked! His hand, resting by his side, trembled slightly and accidentally knocked the water glass off the table. Luckily, the glass was sturdy enough not to shatter.
"Ah!" Yu Sangwan was startled and rushed to pick it up, looking at Lu Jinxuan, "Why are you so careless..."
That’s when she noticed his complexion was quite off.
A jolt ran through her heart, and she couldn’t help but raise her hand towards him, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much?"
"..." Lu Jinxuan suddenly turned his face away.
Yu Sangwan’s hand stopped mid-air awkwardly.
"I!" Lu Jinxuan stood up abruptly, "I need to go to the restroom."
"..." Yu Sangwan pulled up a corner of her mouth, considering it a response.
In the restroom, Lu Jinxuan splashed a handful of cold water on his face. The man in the mirror was in his prime, exuding the aura of a mature man... He abruptly closed his eyes, clenching his fists... Lu Jinxuan, get it together! Remember, outside is the woman you love!
When Lu Jinxuan came out, Yu Sangwan had already picked out all the onions and garlic he didn’t eat.
He pulled out his chair and sat down, his eyes and brows softened.
Chapter 183: You’re Quite Cute This Way
The black iron box was filled with the salty smell of the sea.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Yu Zhiyuan felt like he could barely hold on due to the harsh conditions.
The iron door opened, and someone walked in. Yu Zhiyuan, on reflex, immediately begged for mercy, "Please, whoever you are, just let me go!"
"Hmph."
The newcomer’s form was completely shrouded in darkness. Even so, the scar that stretched across his entire nose was still as prominent, seeming even more ferocious in the dark. He suddenly stepped forward and yanked Yu Zhiyuan’s hair.
"Ah..." Yu Zhiyuan, unable to bear it, his voice trembling, "What are you planning to do?"
"Bro Sen." The newcomer laughed, "There’s no need to hold on anymore, we’ve already found out. You have a daughter... How could you have a daughter? This daughter, is she not Fu Xianlin’s daughter? Why keep your mouth so stiff... admitting it would make everything easier for us!"
"Haha." Yu Zhiyuan suddenly laughed at these words, "Haha..."
The person was stunned, "What are you laughing at?"
"Haha..." Yu Zhiyuan laughed so hard he almost choked, "Since you’ve found out about my daughter, why didn’t you also look into what her life has been like all these years?"
The newcomer’s eyes flashed, "What do you mean by that?"
"Hmph." Yu Zhiyuan sneered, "Let’s cut the crap, I have no idea where Fu Xianlin’s daughter is! I, Song Dasen, have always been most particular about what? Surely, you guys aren’t unaware!"
The scarred man’s brows knitted tightly. It was precisely because they had found out that they hesitated.
"Daughter?" Yu Zhiyuan sneered, "Years ago, when you guys pushed us to a dead end, I lost Fu Xianlin’s daughter in my hand... To survive, I married a woman, and Yu Sangwan is the burden of that woman!"
The man furrowed his brows, seemingly contemplating the credibility of his words.
Actually, they had investigated these details long ago, but remained unwilling to believe... Fu Xianlin and his daughter had been searched for years, with no clues. They finally found one of Fu Xianlin’s old confidants!
"Hmph." Yu Zhiyuan sneered, "No need to think any further. Haven’t you found everything out? Yu Sangwan is just a burden. Over the years, I’ve always treated her as a cash cow and life-supporting herb... As long as it’s to my benefit, I could marry her off to any man! Haha..."
The man remained silent with a sullen face, having his own calculations in mind.
Indeed, based on their findings, Yu Sangwan was unlikely to be Fu Xianlin’s daughter. Yu Zhiyuan, also known as Song Dasen, as Fu Xianlin’s most trusted confidant, would never treat Fu Xianlin’s daughter in such a manner! On the contrary, for him, Fu Xianlin’s daughter should be more important than his own life.
Their operations were also very confidential, so they couldn’t act rashly.
Yu Zhiyuan observed the man’s expression carefully, not daring to relax.
He only hoped that Yu Sangwan would not come looking for him! For a ’rotten’ father like him, that girl must hate him to the core, right?
"Heh..." Tears welled up in the corners of Yu Zhiyuan’s eyes as he muttered to himself, "Hate is good, it’s best not to worry over me..."
...
In Victorian, Lu Jinxuan’s phone rang.
"..." Yu Sangwan looked up at him nervously.
Lu Jinxuan answered, "Mm, go ahead."
He was silent for a while as he listened to the other side speak, "Alright... I’ll wait for your news."
After he hung up, Yu Sangwan couldn’t hold back any longer, "What did they say? Is there any news about my dad?"
"Mm..." Lu Jinxuan nodded, looking hesitant.
Yu Sangwan grew anxious and stood up abruptly, "Tell me, quickly!"
"Don’t get anxious." Lu Jinxuan raised his hand, trying to calm her, "The police will handle it, we’ll just wait here for the news..."
"Okay? Not okay!" Yu Sangwan, almost in a panic, grabbed Lu Jinxuan’s hand, "Where’s my dad? Take me to him, please? Even if I can’t do anything... Let me go wait for him, alright?"
Lu Jinxuan lowered his eyes, looking at Yu Sangwan’s hand gripping his. In that moment, his heart turned soft.
"... Okay."
Without much thought, he had already agreed to her.
