Chapter 1103: The Woman I Like Is You
When the hot boiling water spilled from above, Lin Shiyu felt a sharp, searing pain in her ankle. Her ravishing face instantly turned white, but she promptly checked Little Lemon, who was shielded in her arms. “Little Lemon, are you okay? Are you scalded?”
“Mommy, I’m okay. Ah! Mommy, it burnt you!”
Lin Shiyu’s right ankle was scalded and the flesh within could be seen.
Faced with such a sudden situation, she had been very quick-witted and swift in reacting. She was able to shield Little Lemon from the danger, thus ensuring that the child was not hurt at all. She was already very lucky to only injure her ankle.
Upon seeing her Mommy injured, Little Lemon’s lips turned down and she broke into tears immediately. “Mommy, I’m sorry…”
Lin Shiyu promptly embraced Little Lemon. “Little Lemon, it’s okay. Mommy is not blaming you, but it’s very dangerous to stand on the stool. Don’t do it again.”
Little Lemon nodded vehemently. “Mm!”
Lin Shiyu bathed her ankle in cold water for ten minutes and then rushed to the hospital, where the doctor helped treat and bandage her ankle.
At night, a flurry of steady footsteps sounded in the corridor. It was Fu Qinglun.
He placed his hand on the handle and pushed open the door to the room.
In the room, Tang Mo’er was sitting by the bed and chatting with Lin Shiyu.
Upon seeing Fu Qinglun, Tang Mo’er arched her willowy brows. “Mr Smithson, you still managed to find time to come over. I thought you were having a date with your girlfriend again tonight.”
Fu Qinglun looked at Tang Mo’er impassively and pursed his thin lips. “Have you been provoked by Gu Mohan?”
“…”
Tang Mo’er snorted. “Mr Smithson, don’t change the topic. The news about Leng Yan and you going to a hotel together at midnight has been spreading like wildfire in the entertainment industry, it has even been featured on the headlines for two days. Don’t tell me you are not aware of it?”
Fu Qinglun frowned and shot a glance at the personal assistant behind him. The personal assistant nodded and promptly stepped forward.
“Mrs Gu, you may leave now. If you have time, you’d better keep an eye on your Mr Gu. He has been very close with a woman recently.”
Tang Mo’er rose and her long pink skirt swished around. She carried her handbag and curved her lips indifferently. “Men who really need women to keep an eye on can’t be tamed… Shiyu, I’ll make a move now.”
Tang Mo’er left the room.
Lin Shiyu looked up at Fu Qinglun. “Is Mr Gu really having an affair?”
Fu Qinglun removed his black coat, revealing a clean white shirt beneath. He sat down by the bed and held her injured ankle. “Do you need to care about Mr Gu’s matters?”
“…”
She was only casually asking. Did he have to overreact like this?
“Mrs Gu can’t even be bothered. Shouldn’t you care about whether I’m having an affair outside?” He grasped her ankle.
Hiss.
Lin Shiyu promptly furrowed her pretty brows and attempted to withdraw her ankle.
“Don’t move!”
Fu Qinglun lightly squeezed her ankle. Such a refined man had so much strength, she was unable to move.
He looked down at her ankle, which was exquisitely beautiful. Now that it was scalded, it looked like a plum blossom flower that had just bloomed. He turned his palm and his calloused fingers caressed her white, delicate skin.
He was extremely focused and did not say a word, but he was filled with tenderness and pity as he caressed her.
Lin Shiyu felt that her skin was scorching from his touch. When such a man was being gentle towards her, she could not resist him at all.
“Why do I need to care about you? Mo’er is right. If the man is meant to be yours, you don’t need to keep an eye on him at all. If the man is not meant to be yours, there’s no way that you can keep him by your side.”
“Ha.” Fu Qinglun forced out a laugh from his throat. This pair of best friends had so much self confidence.
“I don’t know about Mr Gu, and I don’t need you to care either.” With that, he bent his head and kissed her ankle.
Lin Shiyu’s pretty eyes narrowed. He had actually kissed her ankle?
“There’s nothing between Leng Yan and me. Last night, the top management of Yi Foundation had a meeting at the hotel. Leng Yan’s father is the biggest shareholder of Yi Foundation and Leng Yan went along with her father. I didn’t spend time alone with her and many people can bear witness to that. Moreover, Leng Yan is an intelligent woman and she knows that the woman I like is you,” he explained.
Lin Shiyu gradually curved her lips. “Mr Smithson, are you forcing your confession on me again?”
Fu Qinglun arched his brows. “You can say so.”
Lin Shiyu withdrew her ankle. Her white feet touched his trousers and stepped on it. “I believe you.”
Fu Qinglun’s muscular torso went numb. He looked down at her white feet.
She was stepping on his muscular thighs and her feet were still gradually going higher.
How daring.
He looked at her and his dark red lips curved into a playful smile. “What are you doing?”
Lin Shiyu arched her brows and said sultrily, “Mr Smithson, why did your wife run away with another man? Is it because you were not able to satisfy her? I believe there’s nothing between Leng Yan and you because only men who have the ability can fool around with women.”
With that, Lin Shiyu glanced at his trousers and shook her head, as if saying —- no, no, no.
Fu Qinglun was incensed. Any man would never be able to withstand such provocation. He promptly grasped her unscathed left ankle.
Lin Shiyu wanted to withdraw her ankle.
But it was too late as Fu Qinglun hoisted her ankle upwards to her chest, and her feet landed on his shoulders. He got up on the bed and knelt beside her. “Do you still dare to play?”
Lin Shiyu’s luscious lashes quivered and she promptly pushed him away. “My leg hurts.”
Fu Qinglun’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared intensely at her. He released her and got down from the bed.
At this moment, the room door was pushed open and Auntie Su entered, bringing Little Lemon and Little Shushu along with her.
“Miss Lin, Little Shushu is hungry. You’ll have to nurse him.”
Lin Shiyu was still breastfeeding and thus the doctor did not prescribe any medications for her. Therefore, her rate of recovery would be slower.
Auntie Su was about to pass Little Shushu over, but just then, a handsome figure walked over and room Little Shushu from her arms.
The man wearing a white shirt was carrying the adorable Little Shushu, and both of them looked like a pair of father-and-son.
Son!
Fu Qinglun tickled Little Shushu’s little face and placed him by Lin Shiyu’s side. “Just lie down and nurse him.”
Lin Shiyu turned around, removed her clothes and started to nurse Little Shushu. At this moment, she heard the man’s low and deep voice. “Auntie Su, you may leave now. I will stay here tonight.”
