Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 454: I Heard Lu Ci Wants to Pursue You. (Added with Recommendation Tickets)

And that gangster, he’s the same one she warned in person before.

Is she just talking to the ghosts, since he lets everything in one ear and out the other?

"Mr. Fu, let go of me!" Su Yao stood on the steps, pointing at Fu Shihan and scolding angrily. "Don’t take advantage of her!"

Wanxin was still in a daze, looking at Su Yao like a frantic mother hen, with a look of deep pain and indignation, as if her daughter had been spoiled by a dirty gangster.

And the culprit, the filthy gangster, not only didn’t let go, but instead hugged her even tighter with a smile.

"Can you... calm down for a second?"

Wanxin came back to her senses and gently pushed Fu Shihan, not knowing what had set him off.

Fu Shihan felt that the one who needed to calm down right now should be Su Yao.

He watched Su Yao charging over, all bluster and rage, and asked nonchalantly, "Ever heard the name Lu Ci?"

His out of the blue question momentarily threw Su Yao off. "Who?"

"Lu Ci, I heard he wants to pursue you."

"Huh?"

After Fu Shihan dropped that bombshell, he opened the car door for Wanxin. Wanxin got into the car subconsciously, listening to him telling her "Be careful on the road," before he left.

Su Yao watched his retreating figure, suddenly remembering her intention to berate him earlier. Yet before she could say a word, she heard her sister say—

"Sis, I know Lu Ci." Wanxin rolled down the car window, resting her chin on the window frame and said, "Pretty handsome."

Su Yao: "..."

So mad that her head hurt.

She didn’t say anything, just pointed at Wanxin, then at Fu Shihan who also got into the car, and finally made a big ’X’ with her hands.

Wanxin pursed her lips in a smile, nodded her head, and drove off to the company. But the whole way there, she was still pondering over Fu Shihan’s abnormal behavior.

Fu Shihan must be someone who cares a lot about face, so how could someone like that be in such a good mood after being rejected?

Did he take the wrong medicine?

Wanxin arrived at the company, distracted from her thoughts by work.

After busying herself upstairs and downstairs for two hours, she returned to the office, only to find someone there upon opening the door.

Inside, Shi Li was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with his phone.

Beside him sat a little kid, sitting up straight, looking very nervous when he saw her.

Wanxin froze at the doorway until Shi Li took the initiative to greet her: "Wanwan, long time no see."

She had gone to the Fu Family’s annual meeting the day he was abroad at a branch office and hadn’t encountered him.

This was their first meeting since she came back, and naturally, her feelings were quite complex.

"...Long time no see." Wanxin entered the room and closed the door, "And you are?"

"...Fu Shili."

"Oh." Hearing another person with the surname Fu, her attitude cooled significantly. Fu Shili sensed that but didn’t mind.

After speaking to Fu Shili, Wanxin’s gaze fell unwaveringly on the little guy.

She had seen him on TV, where he hugged himself and called out for mom.

Now, he looked at her with restraint, not as enthusiastic as he’d been on TV.

"Second Young Master, is there something you needed from me?" Wanxin asked softly while looking at the child.

"My brother thought you might want to meet Yangyang, so he sent me to bring him over." Shi Li stood up. "I’ve brought him here, so I’ll be leaving now."

He left with a briskness, and soon the room was left with just the two of them, staring at each other.

Wanxin felt uneasy under the little one’s gaze, especially after hearing him ask her, "Did you want to see me?" She was both anxious and pained.

Wanxin walked over, crouched down in front of him, and gave a faint smile.

"Little guy, long time no see."
