Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Fu Yanhe: Will you let me lose my job?

Shen Yanhe gently moved her wrist, which Fu Yanhe held in his hand.

The next second, Fu Yanhe gripped it even tighter.

She chuckled, raising an eyebrow teasingly, "What’s the matter? Can’t bear to let me go?"

Fu Yanhe gazed deeply into her eyes, his delicate Adam’s apple moving slightly, "If I’m keeping a very important matter from you, and you find out later, will you get angry? Will you make me step down?"

Shen Yanhe’s smile faded slowly, her cat-like eyes narrowing as she stepped closer to him, sizing him up.

Fu Yanhe’s expression remained calm, but his gaze was fixed tightly on her.

After a moment, Shen Yanhe spoke up, "Are you keeping a mistress behind my back?"

Fu Yanhe: "..."

He responded helplessly, "No."

"Then, did you meddle with my money behind my back?"

Fu Yanhe was half amused, half exasperated, "Neither."

Little money-lover.

He looked at her intently, his tone leisurely, "Apart from you, I won’t have feelings for any other woman in this lifetime."

"Then what are you worried about? As long as you don’t cross my bottom line, I most likely won’t get angry at you," Shen Yanhe patted his shoulder, "Don’t fret over gains and losses, boyfriend."

Besides.

If one were to keep score, she probably had more secrets kept from him than he from her.

Fu Yanhe looked at her, sighed very softly, and raised his hand to gently tousle her hair, "Forget it, Xiao Huai’s medicine is more important, go ahead and get busy."

Shen Yanhe nodded her head and turned to leave.

She hadn’t taken two steps before she trotted back to Fu Yanhe, quickly tiptoed, and planted a swift kiss on his cool lips.

Her first initiative to kiss stunned Fu Yanhe momentarily.

Before he could gather his senses to deepen the kiss, she had already stepped back swiftly, waving at him with a smile as if she were a little fox that had succeeded in stealing a fragrance, "I’m off, don’t miss me too much."

Fu Yanhe stood still, lifting his hand to lightly touch his lips, a faint smile stirring in his eyes.

Once inside the laboratory, Jiang Yifeng had already arrived early and was organizing medicinal materials.

Seeing Shen Yanhe entering, he greeted her with a cheerful smile, "Miss Shen, good morning."

"Good morning, Xiao Jiang," Shen Yanhe nodded slightly, heading towards the changing room.

A couple of steps out, she remembered Fu Yanhe’s earlier question, clicked her tongue, reversed her steps, and turned to ask Jiang Yifeng, "Hey, Xiao Jiang, do you have a girlfriend?"

Jiang Yifeng paused in his sorting of the materials, looking up at her with a smile, "Miss Shen, if I’ve done something wrong, please tell me directly. There’s no need to ask such a heart-piercing question."

"I’m, perennially single."

Shen Yanhe: "..."

She brought her hands together, "Sorry."

Shen Yanhe crossed her arms, leaning on the table, and after organizing her thoughts, asked again, "Let’s say, hypothetically."

"If you were to get a girlfriend and found out she was keeping things from you, what would you do? What would you think?"

Jiang Yifeng finished organizing the test tubes and looked up at Shen Yanhe, his voice calm, "I would hope she could be honest with me. In a relationship, you hope that your partner won’t keep secrets from you."

Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and she seemed a bit lost in thought.

Honesty... huh?

Should she honestly tell Fu Yanhe the reason she married into the Fu Family?

Jiang Yifeng watched her with a hint of inquiry, hesitating before he asked, "Did you and Mr. Fu have a fight?"

"No, we’re on good terms," Shen Yanhe snapped back to reality and waved him off, "Alright, you carry on, I’m going to change."

Inside the changing room.

Shen Yanhe set down her bag, sat on the stool, and took out her phone, her fair and delicate face showing hints of indecision.

She had chosen to keep things from Fu Yanhe earlier because she was uncertain about how close his relationship with the Fu Family was, fearing that if he knew about Fu Xiao, he might choose to help Fu Xiao.

But now, Fu Yanhe had become her boyfriend, and his relationship with the Fu Family was also not good...

Thinking back to Fu Yanhe’s recent insecure and anxious demeanor...

Shen Yanhe’s brows were tightly knitted.

Could it be because she once told Fu Yanhe that, once she had resolved her own issues and cured his legs, they would divorce?

Shen Yanhe took a deep breath, set her phone down, got up to change into her lab coat, entered the decontamination room, and, after a full-body disinfection, immersed herself into the experiment.

Forget it.

I’ll talk to him face to face in half a month.

If he gets angry, I can still appease him.

Right now, you can’t appease someone through a phone.

-

After watching Shen Yanhe enter the laboratory, Fu Yanhe’s car didn’t drive away but instead quietly remained parked at the door, as though it was waiting for its female owner to appear again.

Fu Yanhe was sitting in the car, holding a strand of prayer beads, his thumb moving them slowly and methodically, and asked in a faint voice, "Has Lu Yunkai been captured?"

Wu Fang, sitting in the driver’s seat, had just finished a call with San Fang, and respectfully replied, "San Fang has captured him, and he is being sent to the villa in Ban Yue Bay."

Fu Yanhe half-closed his eyes and said softly, "Mm, go to the villa."

Wu Fang: "Yes."

As Wu Fang drove, he silently mourned for Lu Yunkai.

He could feel that after their young madam had left, Fu Yanhe was in a very bad mood.

Lu Yunkai just happened to walk into the line of fire.

Hopefully, he’ll be able to withstand Young Master Fu’s interrogation techniques.

The car sped along the road.

Half an hour later, the car entered a deserted old villa area and stopped in front of a particularly dilapidated villa.

Fu Yanhe got out of the car and strolled into the villa.

Just as he opened the door, he heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Who are you? Why are you grabbing me? Do you know kidnapping is illegal? That you can go to prison for this? Let me go!"

Fu Yanhe’s expression became even more indifferent, and the aura of authority around him grew heavier as he stepped inside.

Wu Fang silently took a few steps back, following behind Fu Yanhe.

In the hall, there was a man tied up with rope like a cocoon.

The man wore a white shirt that showed a few kiss marks on its collar and a pungent scent of perfume. He was struggling desperately to move, continuously shouting at San Fang and Qi Fang.

"If you don’t release me now, I’ll let my godfather the police chief lock you all up!"

Footsteps sounded, accompanied by a cool, distant voice: "What big talk."

Everyone in the hall turned their heads.

The man who walked in from the door was dressed in a well-fitted black suit, with prayer beads in hand, moving un hurriedly, his demeanor calm, his gaze indifferent.

He seemed extremely refined and gentle to the utmost, but the people in the hall felt an incomparable sense of oppression emanating from him.

The moment Lu Yunkai saw Fu Yanhe, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This man...

Isn’t he the Fu Family’s eldest son, Fu Yanhe?

The person who had him tied up was him?

In a flash of realization, Lu Yunkai felt a chill run through him.

Could it be... he had found out about that matter?
