Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Major Supplement

Watching her flustered and anxious, yet unable to utter a single word, Fu Yihan’s lips lifted slightly as he turned his gaze out the window.

"Your identity has always set you apart from ordinary students."

His voice, cool and distant, carried an ethereal quality as though it came from the edge of the sky.

"Mr. Fu..." Su Qingnuan clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, speaking cautiously, "No matter what my identity is, from the moment I entered the school, I have only been its student. So..."

She suddenly turned around, looking at Fu Yihan with utmost seriousness, and said solemnly, "I hope Mr. Fu can understand."

"Ha!" Fu Yihan tilted his head, a peculiar emotion flickering in the depths of his cold, detached eyes. "You think too highly of me, don’t you?"

Su Qingnuan froze momentarily, unable to respond.

Seeing her fall silent, Fu Yihan leaned slightly in her direction. "Have you not heard the rumors about Fu Yihan before?"

"...What rumors?" Su Qingnuan feigned ignorance.

Fu Yihan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "A man with a heart of stone, cold as a viper."

"..." Su Qingnuan shifted back slightly, offering a faint smile. "Actually, you don’t really seem..."

"I do!" Fu Yihan interrupted her, his eyes sharp and icy. "This is exactly who I am."

"..."

Confronted with Su Qingnuan’s stiff expression, Fu Yihan straightened his posture and, with a blank face, said, "So don’t bring up the word ’understand’ with me anymore. And don’t make requests of me."

"...Got it."

Su Qingnuan lowered her gaze, staring at her own hands.

Nervousness had caused her to grip her clothing so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.

She was simply too naïve. Knowing full well that something was impossible, yet still attempting it...

"You’re now the Eldest Young Master’s wife."

The sudden voice made Su Qingnuan lift her head.

Fu Yihan stared straight ahead with an impassive expression. "Handle these small matters yourself."

Su Qingnuan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Noticing her gaze, Fu Yihan furrowed his brows slightly. "What are you looking at me for? Do your own thing."

"...Okay."

Although his attitude was harsh, he had granted his approval.

Su Qingnuan couldn’t hide her joy, lowering her head with a radiant smile.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, Su Qingnuan quickly got out, prepared the wheelchair, and waited by the car.

Fu Yihan glanced at her but said nothing.

Pushing Fu Yihan into the house, Su Qingnuan softly asked, "Mr. Fu, would you like to go straight upstairs or rest in the living room for a bit?"

"..." Fu Yihan silently looked at Ah Qi.

"Eldest Young Madam." Ah Qi grabbed the wheelchair handles from Su Qingnuan’s hands, his expression cold. "Let me handle it."

"..."

As Ah Qi pushed Fu Yihan to the study, Su Qingnuan hesitated to follow and eventually carried her schoolbag back to her room.

Her phone suddenly vibrated violently.

After glancing at the screen, Su Qingnuan froze.

Gu Xiaoxiao: Qingnuan! There’s an IT competition at school! Do you want to participate? I heard the winners can directly intern at Fu Ran Company!

Fu Ran?

Isn’t that Fu Yihan’s company?

Pulling out the business card from her bag, she confirmed it was indeed that company.

Although Fu Yihan had casually told her she could intern there before, without proper legitimacy, interning at a top-ten IT company would raise too many questions.

Now the opportunity had come. If she could win this competition, she could enter the company with full legitimacy.

Su Qingnuan’s lips curved upward, and she quickly replied to Gu Xiaoxiao.

Su Qingnuan: I’m in!

The reply speed from the other side was just as quick.

Gu Xiaoxiao: I knew you’d want to join, so I already signed you up. You’re welcome!

Su Qingnuan: Thanks! I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow!

Gu Xiaoxiao: I’ll remember that! See you tomorrow!

Putting away her phone, Su Qingnuan took out relevant books and prepared to do some pre-study. She never went into a battle unprepared.

As she stared at the rows of black-and-white data, her vision blurred momentarily before quickly returning to normal.

"That’s odd..."

She rubbed her nose, feeling a sticky, warm sensation.

Looking up, she realized her fingertip, which had just touched her nose, was stained bright red.

"Drip—"

Looking down, a small red drop had already stained the clean, white paper.

Nosebleed...

She immediately tilted her head back, grabbing tissues as she walked out of the room.

Just as she opened the door, she saw Fu Yihan and Ah Qi approaching her.

Seeing her holding her nose and looking up at the ceiling, Fu Yihan frowned. "What happened?"

"...Nosebleed..." Su Qingnuan’s voice trembled with a hint of tears, her deer-like eyes looking pitifully at Fu Yihan.

"..." Fu Yihan pressed his hand to his forehead, sighing. "Ah Qi, go call Auntie up."

"Understood."

Ah Qi quickly ran off.

Fu Yihan glanced at her and said, "Go sit over there, lean your head against the sofa, and keep looking at the ceiling."

Obediently walking back, Su Qingnuan sat on the sofa, covering her nose as the warm blood continued to flow. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly. "Mr. Fu, why am I bleeding so much?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Fu Yihan replied coldly.

Feeling quite dejected, Su Qingnuan dared not speak further and fell silent.

After a long while, footsteps could be heard on the stairs. Soon, Ah Qi returned with someone in tow.

"Eldest Young Master, the doctor is here."

"Come in."

The woman carrying a medical kit entered and skillfully cleaned Su Qingnuan’s nosebleed before applying some medication.

"Auntie, why am I having a nosebleed?" Su Qingnuan asked softly.

She had always been physically delicate. A little carelessness would send her to the hospital for days, so she needed to find out the reason.

"It’s nothing." The woman smiled gently. "You’ve just been eating too well, too richly."

"..."

Not daring to speak further, Su Qingnuan quietly let her finish tending to the nosebleed.

By dinner, her nose had finally stopped bleeding, but her meal consisted only of plain vegetable porridge.

"Why is she eating so blandly?" The old master frowned. "Look how skinny you are! You should eat more!"

He then motioned for someone to bring more food for Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan quickly shielded her bowl with her body, panicked. "Grandfather! This is enough for me, really!"

"Nonsense! If someone outside saw how thin you are, they’d assume we mistreat you!"

"Grandfather, there’s no need, really..."

"Go ahead, serve her more!"

As the two argued back and forth, Fu Yihan furrowed his eyebrows and set down his chopsticks.

"Tap—"

The crisp sound brought silence to the table.

"Grandfather." Fu Yihan turned and pointed to Su Qingnuan’s nose. "See that? Ate too richly, and now she’s got a nosebleed."

"...A nosebleed?" The old master stood in shock, inspecting her nose.

"Hah?" Fu Yixing chuckled. "So that’s what they call ’overindulgence is harmful,’ right?"

Su Qingnuan quickly covered her nose, forcing a small smile. "It’s fine. Two days of lighter meals, and I’ll be good."

"Then just eat lighter for now." The old master relented.

Still, while others dined on sumptuous dishes, she sat there with her plain porridge—truly pitiful.
