Chapter 198: Chapter 198: I’m Afraid You’re Too Emotional

Ye Yan finally compromised.

She sat next to Fu Xingzhou, but with a considerable distance between them.

Compared to the two teenagers sitting almost on top of each other across from them, the sense of boundary between her and Fu Xingzhou was overly apparent.

Ye Zhun and Fu Xingrui were whispering to each other, trying hard to suppress their laughter—I couldn’t tell what they were talking about, but it was obvious that it had nothing to do with studying.

Fu Xingzhou poured a glass of water for Ye Yan, "Dr. Ye, here’s some water."

"Thank you," Ye Yan politely responded.

"Which hospital do you work at, Dr. Ye?"

Knowing it was a pretext for conversation, Ye Yan, not wanting to reveal anything, softly answered, "Holy Land Hospital."

Fu Xingzhou smiled, "Can I add you as a contact? I heard from Ah Rui that Ye Zhun has been a huge help to him in school. He even ranked top fifteen in the recent monthly exam."

He was always a bright child, just previously disinterested in studying.

Now, Ye Zhun was willing to waste his own study time to tutor him right from the junior high material.

The progress in Fu Xingrui was visibly apparent.

Ye Yan gave him a silent glare.

They already had each other’s contact information; his insistence made her suspicious of his motives.

"Big sis, just add my second brother. That way, if there’s ever an issue, you guys can discuss it," Fu Xingrui facilitated.

Ye Yan thought about today’s events; Fu Xingrui was completely implicated.

Moreover, his first instinct in a crucial moment was to risk his own safety by stepping forward.

She was immensely grateful for his protection towards Ye Zhun.

After they pretended to add each other as friends, Ye Yan’s phone buzzed immediately.

"I bought a new toy for Sijiu, I’ll bring it over to your place tonight."

"Sijiu already has plenty of toys; buying more is just a waste."

"I’ve already bought it..."

Ye Yan placed her phone aside and ignored him further.

After dinner, Fu Xingrui and Ye Zhun needed to return to school.

"Second brother, please take sister home," Fu Xingrui said, his arm over Ye Zhun’s shoulder.

Ye Yan quickly refused, "No need, I can take a cab myself."

"If you take a cab alone, Ye Zhun surely won’t feel at ease, right?" The teenager nudged his brother with his elbow.

Ye Zhun felt helpless; he could tell that Fu Xingrui was intentionally trying to set up his sister with his second brother.

Fu Xingzhou, whom he had met twice,

was certainly no less outstanding than Brother Hen and Brother Chen.

If his sister was okay with it, he would happily see it happen.

"Big sis, just let the second brother drive you. After what happened today, it’s better to be cautious."

Ye Zhun’s words successfully got Ye Yan into Fu Xingzhou’s car.

The car drove slowly.

The play of light and shadow darted across her face.

It almost felt like another lifetime.

Ye Yan noticed the ornament hanging in front of the windscreen and was momentarily stunned.

That unsightly thing was something she had initially bought for Meng Tian, which he ended up taking.

She had asked him back then, arguing that such a feminine item was useless for him, but he firmly responded that he wanted to hang it in his car.

Turns out, he really did.

The ornament worth a few dozen yuan looked completely out of place in his luxury car.

Yet, it stirred a complex mixture of emotions within Ye Yan.

She never doubted that Fu Xingzhou truly loved her, but he hadn’t reached the point where he could balance her with his family.

Thus, when he needed to choose between the two, he would decisively opt for the latter.

This hurt her more than not being loved at all.

"Why did you come find me today? It’s strange," Ye Yan had been puzzled. She hadn’t mentioned her location, yet he arrived at the scene immediately.

Even if it was the police, they couldn’t be this omniscient.

She suddenly pulled out her phone, her suspicion evident as she asked, "Did you put a tracker on my phone?"

"It’s not that I put a tracker on your phone, but I tracked your phone." Fu Xingzhou patiently explained, "I have a very skilled hacker under me, more useful than the police."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Ye Yan also felt this was very possible.

No matter how much of a jerk Fu Xingzhou was, he wouldn’t install a tracker on her phone to follow her.

If he wanted to do so, she wouldn’t have any personal freedom.

She would be under his surveillance twenty-four hours a day.

Naturally, Fu Xingzhou didn’t tell her the truth, but he also didn’t lie to her.

The safety system he transferred to her included smartphone location tracking as one of its conditions, but it wasn’t limited to that only.

Fu Xingzhou felt fortunate that if the system hadn’t been transferred, she could have been in danger under today’s circumstances.

"Thank you." Ye Yan felt ashamed for having suspected Fu Xingzhou earlier, "You’ve helped me again."

"It’s hardly helping, Fu Xingrui was also kidnapped."

"He was implicated by Ye Zhun."

Fu Xingzhou turned his head to look at her, "Did Ye Jian’an come to trouble you guys again?"

Ye Yan didn’t want to mention Ye Jian’an, it was her shame, a family disgrace, she felt ashamed to have such a father.

"Ye Yan." Seeing her trembling with anger, Fu Xingzhou couldn’t help but grasp her left hand in his palm.

The warmth touched her, a sense of security enveloping her like the sea.

Ye Yan felt momentarily healed, but she quickly snapped back and tried to pull away.

Fu Xingzhou didn’t let go.

"Fu Xingzhou." Ye Yan was somewhat irritated, "What’s our relationship now? What do these superfluous gestures mean?"

Fu Xingzhou didn’t dare to overstep further and quickly let go of her.

"I was worried that you were too agitated, it might harm the baby."

Yes, that was it, he was just concerned about the baby in her stomach.

"No matter how agitated I get, I wouldn’t risk the child." Ye Yan turned her head, staring at the scenery outside the car.

The two didn’t speak anymore, the silence in the car becoming almost suffocating.

They finally arrived at the apartment in Daqian Creek.

The driver stopped the car downstairs of Ye Yan’s building.

After Ye Yan got out of the car, she saw that Fu Xingzhou also followed.

"I bought Sijiu a toy." Fu Xingzhou seemed to be explaining why he got out of the car.

"Handing the toy over to me would be fine."

Ye Yan didn’t want to let him inside her apartment again; this man always took an inch further.

"Are you sure?"

Fu Xingzhou pointed to a van on the side, and two subordinates lifted a large object from inside.

What he had purchased wasn’t just a regular toy but a custom-built cat climbing frame.

Indeed, there was no way Ye Yan could carry it upstairs by herself.

She suspected that Fu Xingzhou did it on purpose.

Once the subordinates had moved the climbing frame upstairs, they tactfully left.

The climbing frame was half assembled, with many parts still to be put together.

Fu Xingzhou rolled up his sleeves and found gloves from the box.

"Do you have a toolbox?"

Ye Yan retrieved a toolbox and handed it over, "Can you assemble it?"

"There’s an instruction manual," Fu Xingzhou took the manual and flipped through it page by page.

Sijiu wound around his feet, rubbing against him from time to time.

A man and a cat, exceptionally harmonious.

Ye Yan sat on the sofa, silently watching.

She had to admit, when this man was serious, even the rolled-up sleeves were full of charm.
