Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Wishing You Well

Meng Tian could almost be certain that it was Fu Xingzhou’s car.

Was Fu Xingzhou’s car passing by occasionally, or did he know that Ye Yan was dining here and deliberately waited?

Meng Tian had no way of knowing.

Her feelings about Fu Xingzhou as a person were also extremely complex.

On one hand, she hated him for betraying Ye Yan’s trust and hurting Ye Zhun.

On the other, she saw him as a pitiable person who sought but could not obtain.

But no matter what, it had been him who stepped in to save Ye Yan this time, punishing the wicked Li Jin.

The debts between him and Ye Yan should be considered settled.

From now on, they would keep to their separate paths, each living their own lives.

~

It was early summer, and Ao City was gradually heating up.

Ye Yan had surgery today, and it was already past four o’clock when she was finished.

Because she had always been thin, even now at over four months pregnant, it was not apparent from her appearance.

Director Bi, knowing she was pregnant, tried not to assign her overly exhausting and cumbersome tasks.

She received a call from the maid as soon as Ye Yan arrived at the parking lot.

"Miss Ye, I’m sorry to disturb you," the maid was very polite.

"It’s okay, do you need something, Auntie?"

"Miss Ye, the thing is, Sijiu has had little appetite due to the summer heat recently. I’ll be finishing my work here by the end of this month, so, do you think you could take Sijiu with you? I believe it will adapt quickly with familiar people around and is less likely to get sick."

Fu Xingzhou had left the duplex for her, but she had never felt it was her property and never inquired about it.

If the maid hadn’t called, she would have thought the maid had left long ago.

"Okay, I’ll come over now."

Ye Yan arrived at Yuqiao and was about to knock but tried her fingerprint and the door opened immediately.

Apparently, Fu Xingzhou hadn’t come back since she left.

Thus, everything remained as it was, even the pillow that lay on the bed still sat in its old spot.

As soon as Ye Yan entered, Sijiu jumped over to her.

Circling at her feet, meowing.

Ye Yan bent down to pick up Sijiu, rubbed its round head, then pressed her cheek against its face.

The cat had indeed lost quite a bit of weight.

She had originally thought that since Fu Xingzhou brought Sijiu from Sijiu City, it would definitely follow Fu Xingzhou, but it was still here.

No wonder Sijiu had become sick with both Fu Xingzhou and her absent.

The maid came over, smiling, "It’s really great that Miss Ye can come back to pick up Sijiu."

"Why not give it to Mr. Fu?" asked Ye Yan as she petted Sijiu’s head; after all, it was his cat.

"I’m afraid to be laughed at by Miss Ye, but I don’t dare call Mr. Fu." Although the maid had worked here for a year, she was still in awe of such a powerful figure as Fu Xingzhou and didn’t dare to contact him proactively.

"Besides, Sijiu was originally brought back from Capital City by Mr. Fu as a gift for Miss, so it should rightfully be Miss’s cat."

"Fine, I’ll take it away," Ye Yan was also happy to take Sijiu home, "By the way, Auntie, I’ll transfer your wages for these days later."

"No, no, no, Mr. Fu has already paid my wages in full," the maid quickly waved her hand off, "Now that this house is unoccupied, there is no need for me to stay. My daughter is planning to take the university entrance examination inland, and I am going to accompany her."

After chatting with the maid for a few more moments, Ye Yan prepared to leave with Sijiu.

She placed Sijiu into a special cat carrier and also took a few of its favorite small toys.

Just as she reached the door, the front door suddenly opened from the outside.

Facing the newcomer, both were a bit stunned.

Not until Sijiu excitedly meowed, trying to climb out of the cat carrier, did Ye Yan pat the transparent cover, "Be good, Sijiu."

She looked up at the man standing outside the door, "Mr. Fu, are you here to pick up Sijiu? It’s just as well, Sijiu was brought back by you, so you should be the one to take her away."

"No need," Fu Xingzhou met her bright gaze, his heart fluttering, "It was always meant for you, you are its true owner."

He too had suddenly remembered that the auntie’s work contract was coming to an end, which is why he had come back to collect Sijiu.

He hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Yan here.

The two stood facing each other, and apart from those two sentences, they fell into a mutual silence.

It was Fu Xingzhou who eventually broke the silence, "Have you been well these past few days?"

His gaze settled on her still somewhat flat stomach.

He knew she was thin, but he hadn’t anticipated she would remain so slender during pregnancy, with delicate limbs and pale complexion that made her appear even more beautiful than she was before she was pregnant.

But the thought that the child’s father was not him made Fu Xingzhou’s heart wrench with pain.

Even though he had deliberately been avoiding her, numbing himself desperately.

But the moment he saw her, all his defenses crumbled.

"I’ve been quite well, thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu," Ye Yan wanted to ask about his stomach ailment but decided against it.

Not doing anything superfluous was for the best for both of them.

"Shall I take you home?"

"No need, I came here by car."

Fu Xingzhou said, "With your current condition, you should try to drive less. Why isn’t your boyfriend driving you?"

"He’s very busy," Ye Yan replied calmly, "A doctor’s hours are unpredictable."

Fu Xingzhou’s throat felt dry, "Then please be safe."

After watching Ye Yan leave, Fu Xingzhou didn’t immediately depart but instead stepped into the room.

The auntie was also there, but she didn’t say much, quietly tidying up.

Fu Xingzhou walked into the room they had once shared, everything remained unchanged, just as before.

And the only thing that had changed was the people who lived there.

The objects remained, but the people did not, the love was gone.

Fu Xingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, stretching out his hand to caress the tender, smooth fabric of the sheets.

These sheets had been personally chosen by Ye Yan, who had even sent him a photo to ask for his opinion.

He had said at the time, "This color looks good, and you look fairer lying on it."

These words that made her blush and her heart raced, she would be annoyed at first, but later she let him talk as he pleased, not bothering to argue.

She became increasingly tolerant of him, indulging him.

Even when he was sometimes in a foul mood, she would accompany him with extraordinary patience.

She gave her trust to him unconditionally.

And in the end, he betrayed it all.

It was he who had pushed her away with his own hands, leading to today’s irreparable situation.

"Sir," the bodyguard who had been standing outside appeared at the door, "The jewelry store in Hong Kong called. They said the ring you custom-ordered is ready, asking if it should be delivered to the mansion?"

He hadn’t left an address at the time, intending to personally collect the wedding ring with Ye Yan once it was finished.

It was the style she had chosen herself, with the inside of the ring engraved with their handwritten names.

Now the ring was ready, but it couldn’t be given away.

"Have them deliver it to the Fu Family first."

Fu Xingzhou lit a cigarette, "Heading back to Hong Kong tomorrow."

He paused, "What about that man named Chai Chen, the one you were looking into?"

The bodyguard had actually finished the investigation long ago, but Fu Xingzhou had been in such a terrible mood at the time that he hadn’t dared to speak without being asked.

Now that he suddenly brought it up, the bodyguard immediately answered with due diligence.
