Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Shen Wan’er
"Sprained it?" Fu Xingzhou hurriedly squatted down to check.
"It’s fine, not serious." Ye Yan felt the gazes from all around, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
Though Mr. Fu was very generous toward women, he had never been so humble.
Just then, Sijiu, who had been staying in the car, suddenly jumped down and walked towards someone in the crowd with its delicate cat-like steps, rubbing against the person’s trousers in a very pleasing manner, which was unusual for it.
The person was tall and handsome, with an exceptional aura that differed from those of Ao City. Ye Yan had a vague feeling she had seen him somewhere, but couldn’t recall where at the moment.
"Chen Yiren," Fu Xingzhou explained softly as he lifted the person up, "from Capital City."
So, he was Chen Yiren, the Crown Prince of Capital City.
Fu Xingzhou’s businesses in Capital City were mostly connected to him, and the girl standing beside him, although not stunning at first sight, had jet-black long hair and delicate features, embodying a unique charm like a fine jade from southern regions.
At the moment, she was squatting down, stroking Sijiu, which seemed even more affectionate toward her.
"An ungrateful wolf that can’t be tamed," Fu Xingzhou scoffed lightly.
Soon, several butlers came out to lead everyone to their respective rooms.
The resort was built along the mountainside and by the water, each building on the slope like nests in a giant tree, each with their own unique style.
The scenery along the road was beautiful, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant, and there even were artificially bred deer and green-white peacocks roaming freely beside the winding streams.
The butler led Fu Xingzhou to their room, gave a few careful instructions, then tactfully left.
Fu Xingzhou placed Ye Yan on the bed, turned to get her medical kit, and upon opening it, found it fully stocked with various medicines and even injectables. He picked out some bruise oil.
"I can do it myself," Ye Yan reached to take it.
"Don’t move carelessly; be careful, or it might get worse," Fu Xingzhou held her leg, removed her high heels, and the swollen area on her delicate ankle was particularly conspicuous.
"Were you not watching where you were walking?" Fu Xingzhou scolded, both upset and distressed, grasping her ankle gently, "Luckily it’s nothing serious; otherwise, you’d be bedridden for the next few days."
Ye Yan, chastised, didn’t dare to retort and could only look at him with a pitiful expression.
Fu Xingzhou massaged her ankle, helping the oil absorb better. It was slightly painful, but the heat from his palm and the strength of his hand were just right.
From an initial embarrassment, Ye Yan slowly began to enjoy it, feeling the pain in her ankle subsiding.
"Stay off your feet for now," Fu Xingzhou carefully placed her foot down.
"But I just arrived," Ye Yan couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Although the purpose of this trip to the resort was to divert Tang Jingyao’s attention, seeing such beautiful scenery made Ye Yan yearn to partake in the fun like everyone else rather than being confined to the bed, throwing her feelings off balance.
"Now you regret it; what were you thinking getting off the car?" Fu Xingzhou pinched her pouting lips, "It doesn’t look too serious. We’ll observe a bit more."
At that moment, the butler knocked on the door.
The resort had prepared a lavish dinner, and all the guests had arrived.
"Just behave, and I’ll be back as soon as I can,"
Ye Yan nodded.
In the dining hall, amidst the splendor and dazzling array of dishes, both expensive and exquisite...
Even before the feast began, a few women gathered together to chat.
Tang Jingyao brought a female companion named Qin Shuyi, who is a star from Hong Kong and recently gained some fame within the circle. The latest film she starred in was financed by the Tang Group.
Qin Shuyi was the eldest among them, and everyone else addressed her as "sister".
"Once Mr. Fu’s resort opens, it will surely become famously renowned."
Li Xi said, "I owe it to Young Master Liang’s blessing, otherwise, I would never have the chance to visit such a place in my lifetime."
"Who is that woman with Mr. Fu?" asked the youngest among the group, a model who had come with He Xuan. Perhaps relying on her innate youth and figure, along with He Xuan’s favoritism, she looked somewhat arrogant.
Everyone tactfully remained silent; those brought by Mr. Fu were not to be casually discussed by them.
Seeing no response from the others, the young model haughtily lifted her neck: "That woman is quite scheming; I think she deliberately twisted her ankle to gain Mr. Fu’s sympathy. Tonight at the dinner, everyone arrived except for her. Clearly, she looks down on us."
"Are you the Jade Emperor or God; why should she respect you?"
The girl next to the young model suddenly stood up and walked away without turning back.
"Are you sick? I wasn’t even talking about you." The young model was immediately infuriated, "Is being from Capital City so great?"
Li Xi and Qin Shuyi quickly held her back.
"You know she’s from Capital City, better hold your tongue," Qin Shuyi said.
"What’s there to be proud of about her? She’s just someone else’s pet."
The young model muttered a few more words, then the butler came over and announced that they could start the feast.
While that side was bustling with activity, Ye Yan could only stare helplessly at Sijiu.
Sijiu, tired, was snoring on the blankets.
Ye Yan tried stepping on the ground with her foot; it was painful but bearable.
She slipped on her slippers and, with one hand holding the sleeping Sijiu and hopping on one foot, she headed out the door.
To avoid aggravating her injured foot, she held onto the railing while descending the stairs and hopped to the open balcony.
This was a common area for guests to rest, furnished with soft chairs and sofas. Sitting near the railing, one could capture the sweeping night view of the entire resort.
Ye Yan gathered her coat around her and placed Sijiu on the chair next to her.
Sijiu, having lost the urge to sleep, sat there with her, enjoying the view.
"May I sit here?" a sweet voice asked. Ye Yan turned around; it was the girl who had been with Chen Yiren today.
"Of course."
"Hello, I’m Shen Wan’er."
"Ye Yan."
After a brief introduction, Shen Wan’er sat down opposite Ye Yan. As she just seated herself, Sijiu, the haughty cat, suddenly moved, jumping from the table into Shen Wan’er’s lap.
Ye Yan was surprised; Sijiu never made contact with strangers voluntarily. It seemed it recognized Shen Wan’er.
"Sijiu is my brother’s cat," Shen Wan’er gently stroked Sijiu’s long fur, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Mr. Fu liked him, so he was given to him. At first, I worried he wouldn’t adapt, but it turns out he has acclimated well, already becoming a genuine Ao City cat."
"Your brother?"
"Chen Yiren," Shen Wan’er smiled warmly, "Chen Yiren is my brother."
Ye Yan suddenly felt a bit awkward; she had thought Shen Wan’er was Chen Yiren’s female companion or lover, without realizing they were siblings.
