Chapter 487: Chapter 485: To Save Her, He Firmly Shields Her with His Body Chapter 487: Chapter 485: To Save Her, He Firmly Shields Her with His Body Ming Yao saw Wen Yuci’s eyes were red, and she comforted her instead, “If you miss me, you can video call me, don’t worry, I will definitely come back!”

She had her family and friends here, and her company and career, she wouldn’t draw a clear line with everything here just because of a relationship.

Wen Yuci clasped Ming Yao’s hand, “We must keep in touch often.”

Ming Yao nodded, “Okay,” as if thinking of something, she asked, “And you, how have you been with Fu Yunshen lately?”

“He went to Africa, there’s no one bothering me, and I’ve been doing quite well recently.”

Without Fu Yunshen by her side, she felt much more comfortable and relaxed.

Ming Yao thoughtfully nodded, “He probably left because he was afraid of what Shi Ying or Gong Yu might do to harm his brotherhood with Gu Siting.”

“That must be it.”

It would be best if he didn’t come back for a while, so that when the agreement between them expired, she wouldn’t have to be his lover anymore.

Wen Yuci had a strong sense of pride, and she really despised this clandestine status.

Wen Yuci stayed at Mingyao’s Apartments until the evening before leaving.

As soon as she got into the car, she received a call from Fu Yunshen.

He had rarely called her recently.

Receiving his call out of the blue, Wen Yuci’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he was coming back?

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, the man told her he was landing at nine that evening and asked her to pick him up.

Wen Yuci’s hand tightened around the phone.

She hadn’t expected him to come back so soon!

But on second thought, it made sense, as Gu Siting was about to become President soon, Gong Yu was no longer a match for him, and Fu Yunshen didn’t need to worry about Gong Yu using him to target Gu Siting anymore.

Seeing that Wen Yuci remained silent, Fu Yunshen’s voice became a few degrees colder, “Did you hear me? Don’t be late. I want to see you on time at nine tonight.”

Wen Yuci thought about how every time they met, other than going to bed, there was nothing else, and she was extremely reluctant.

She didn’t want to go pick him up, but she knew that the consequences of not going would be even more serious.

“Got it.” She hung up the phone.

No sooner had she hung up then her phone rang again.

Without looking at the caller ID, she answered directly, “I said I would go, why are you still calling?”

“Miss, the lady has had an accident.”

The caller was a servant from the Wen family.

Wen Yuci’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her classically beautiful face showed worry and panic, “What happened to my mother?”

“She suddenly fainted and tumbled down the stairs.”

Wen Yuci quickly drove home.

When she got to the front door, she saw a tall figure carrying her mother out.

Seeing the man’s face, she was slightly surprised, “Ziyuan?”

“I’m taking auntie to the hospital.”

Fu Ziyuan carried Mother Wen to his car.

Without time to think, Wen Yuci followed him into the car.

She sat in the back, holding the unconscious Mother Wen in her arms.

“Mom, mom…” Wen Yuci called out a few times, but Mother Wen did not respond.

Fu Ziyuan drove while looking at Wen Yuci through the rearview mirror, “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged the best doctors at Fu’s Hospital.”

“Thank you.”

Fu Ziyuan drove as fast as he could to Fu’s Hospital.

After a series of examinations, the doctor told Fu Ziyuan and Wen Yuci, “Mrs. Wen fainted due to low blood sugar and a mild concussion, but it’s nothing serious. She still needs to pay more attention to rest and keep up with nutrition in the future.”

Wen Yuci nodded.

After the doctor left, she looked at Mother Wen still in a coma, her brows furrowed.

Ever since her father had been imprisoned, her mother’s health had been deteriorating, and her mental state was not good either.

“Yuci, I know a very famous nutritionist. Once your aunt is discharged, I’ll have that nutritionist come to your house to help her recuperate.”

Yuci looked towards Fu Ziyuan and said in a muted voice, “No need, I can take care of my mother.”

She didn’t particularly like Fu Ziyuan, but she felt guilty about calling off the engagement ceremony.

She knew that because of it, Fu Ziyuan had been ridiculed by Upper Society.

After she broke up with Yunshen, Fu Ziyuan had been constantly by her side; many people laughed behind his back, calling him Yunshen’s successor, but he seemed to have never cared.

“Ziyuan, don’t concern yourself with my family’s matters anymore,” she didn’t want to owe him too much.

“Yuci, if we can’t be lovers, can’t we at least be friends? Or are you afraid Yunshen will find out?”

Hearing Fu Ziyuan bring up Yunshen, Yuci’s heart skipped a beat.

Aside from her best friend, no one knew she had been Yunshen’s mistress.

Her biggest fear was Mother Wen finding out; if she did, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Now that Fu Ziyuan mentioned Yunshen, could it be that he knew something?

Yuci’s eyelashes trembled, and she put on a composed face, “Why mention Yunshen? It’s not his concern; I just don’t want to trouble you anymore.”

“It’s no trouble. If there’s anything you need my help with, just ask.”

Yuci pursed her lips, “Fu Ziyuan, you don’t have to be so good to me. It’s impossible between us…”

Fu Ziyuan frowned, “Yuci, I’m not forcing you. If we can’t be lovers, we’re still classmates, friends, aren’t we?”

Seeing Yuci’s struggling expression, Fu Ziyuan gave a bitter smile, “You don’t even want to be friends with me anymore, what are you afraid of?”

Yuci bit her lip, “I’m not afraid of anything.”

“That’s settled then. Come on, I’ll take you back to get some clothes for your aunt.”

Yuci rode in Fu Ziyuan’s car back to the Wen family home.

She turned her head, staring out of the car window, not speaking to Fu Ziyuan the whole way.

Her attitude was cold and distant.

Fu Ziyuan gazed at her clear, porcelain-white face, his expression complex.

Ever since Yunshen came back, her attitude toward him had changed dramatically.

Before, although he could not sense her fondness for him, she would at least listen to Father Wen and Mother Wen and get along with him properly.

But after Yunshen’s appearance, she not only called off their engagement ceremony but also made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him; she even blocked his number.

Fu Ziyuan had fallen for Yuci much earlier than Yunshen did.

Yet from childhood to adulthood, her eyes only ever beheld Yunshen.

Even after he reclaimed his position as the Fu family’s young master, she never showed any fondness for him.

Fu Ziyuan’s expression was slightly vacant, lost in thought; he didn’t notice the small truck coming straight towards them.

“Beep, beep, beep…” The urgent sound of the horn blared.

Just as the two vehicles were about to collide, Fu Ziyuan, without thinking, unbuckled his seat belt and shielded Yuci in his arms.

With a ‘bang,’ the window glass shattered, raining down on Fu Ziyuan.

Fu Ziyuan’s body was squeezed and struck, and he groaned out loud several times.

Yuci, firmly protected by him, was spared from disaster.

When she regained her senses and looked at the man protecting her, she was utterly shocked.

Fu Ziyuan’s face was covered in blood, he had passed out, but his hands still gripped her tightly, as if afraid she would be hurt even the slightest bit.

“Ziyuan…” Yuci’s fingers trembled as she took out her phone to call for an ambulance.

He really was crazy, to protect her, he didn’t even care about his own life!
