Fu Siye was growing increasingly impatient with her.
What should she do? What should she do?
Nan Shiqing sat by the head of the bed, hugging her knees, at a loss.
Meanwhile.
Fu Siye had returned to the bedroom.
Seeing that Mu Yinyin showed no signs of waking up, Fu Siye entered the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later, he emerged.
Fu Siye, with a towel wrapped around his waist, looked at the woman lying quietly on the bed, making no move to get up. He frowned and, in the end, pulled the covers up for her.
This day and night.
Seemed a bit long.
But for Mu Yinyin, it passed quickly.
When she woke up, she heard the faint sound of running water from the bathroom.
Mu Yinyin turned her head in a daze, looking around the unfamiliar environment.
From a glance, it was clear this was a presidential suite.
But what was with the sound of running water?
She raised her hand and rubbed her aching forehead. A flood of memories surged into her mind.
Mu Yinyin's expression changed.
Only then did she realize that yesterday, she had dinner with Gao Zhusheng, was drugged, and someone rushed in to save her.
In her memory, there seemed to be a doctor as well?
Her head hurt.
Mu Yinyin slowly sat up, still rubbing her temples with her left hand.
She couldn't quite recall the details.
And the sound of running water...
Who was in the bathroom?
Just as she was puzzled, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Mu Yinyin immediately looked over.
But...!
Upon seeing the man emerge wrapped in a towel, Mu Yinyin's face changed dramatically.
Fu! Si! Ye!
Why was it him?!
At that moment, Mu Yinyin had no inclination to admire Fu Siye's perfect chest and abs. Instead, she was filled with shock at his appearance.
"You..."
With just that one word, Mu Yinyin suddenly didn't know what else to say.
Could it be that the person who saved her yesterday was him?
But how could things be so dramatic? Why would he have been there with Gao Zhusheng yesterday? What was going on...?
Now, Mu Yinyin was full of questions but couldn't bring herself to voice them.
Fu Siye saw that Mu Yinyin seemed to be fine and let out a cold snort, "It's your good luck that you survived."
His voice was full of sarcasm and disdain.
Mu Yinyin's eyes flickered. She naturally understood what he was referring to.
After a pause, she said, "Thank you for saving me."
Regardless of whether this man was passing by or acting unintentionally, he had brought her out safely, so she naturally felt grateful.
Fu Siye snorted again, as if too lazy to bother with her.
He was still only wrapped in a towel, showing no discomfort.
It was Mu Yinyin who reacted at this moment, her expression shifting slightly.
What was going on!
Why was Fu Siye in the same room as her, even bathing in her bedroom...?
What was this situation?
In the past, during their years of marriage, they had never shared a bedroom, let alone had moments like him bathing...
But now...?
Mu Yinyin's expression was somewhat complex and strange.
Yet, she couldn't utter a word or figure out what to say.
Perhaps sensing her awkwardness, Fu Siye let out a cold laugh, "You think I would touch you?"
Mu Yinyin's body stiffened slightly.
But the next moment, she smiled, "I naturally believe that."
Otherwise, why would they have never been intimate in their three years of marriage?
He was inherently disdainful, wasn't he.
Fu Siye: "..."
Seeing her calm expression, he instantly became extremely annoyed.
But before he could say anything, Mu Yinyin's confused voice sounded again, "But, I don't understand, why are you in this bedroom?"
Fu Siye sneered, "This is my place, do I need your questioning?"
Mu Yinyin: "?"
Logically, it made sense, but she had been in this bedroom all along, so he shouldn't be here.
Only...
The next moment, Mu Yinyin's stomach growled.
It was the sound of hunger.
Fu Siye glanced at her casually and then left without a word.
Mu Yinyin felt uncomfortable, even a bit sticky all over. The moment Fu Siye closed the bedroom door, she got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
Her body still felt a little weak.
But she could manage.
Half an hour later.
Mu Yinyin emerged from the bathroom, her hair about seventy percent dry.
As she stepped out, she smelled fragrance and saw that breakfast had already been laid out on the dining table, which surprised Mu Yinyin.
Fu Siye was sitting on the living room sofa, reading a newspaper.
Mu Yinyin glanced at him and walked to the dining table to sit down without a word.
She was truly hungry.
Fu Siye put down his newspaper and also walked over, sitting down opposite her.
The two of them...
Were actually having breakfast together like this for the first time.
This was something Mu Yinyin had never dreamed of.
He would actually eat breakfast with her.
However, Mu Yinyin was really hungry and didn't have the mood to overthink things, so she ate normally.
Only after she was full did she put down her chopsticks.
Mu Yinyin slowly raised her eyes and fixed her gaze on the man.
His expression was calm, and upon closer inspection, perhaps a little somber.
Mu Yinyin's eyes moved, and then she spoke, "I will remember this incident, and I will find a way to repay you in the future. I'll be going now."
Fu Siye looked at her coldly, "Go? To look for him again?"
Mu Yinyin's expression changed slightly.
She stopped and turned to look at him.
Fu Siye looked at her with a face full of mockery, "He treated you like that yesterday, clearly with an agenda. It might not have been a successful outcome for you, but you ended up losing out yourself. Mu Yinyin, don't you think your actions are foolish?"
"Gao Zhusheng is a man with impure intentions, but he also knows how to weigh the pros and cons."
"So, he has merits?" Fu Siye seemed to be amused to the point of anger, especially seeing Mu Yinyin so righteously defending Gao Zhusheng. He found it utterly ridiculous.
Mu Yinyin's brows furrowed slightly, "I am merely stating the facts. For his own benefit, he will ultimately compromise."
Fu Siye sneered, "If he were easy to negotiate with, do you think what happened last night would have occurred? Mu Yinyin, how can you be so foolish as to actually drink with him?"
His words clearly held a strong sense of accusation.
Mu Yinyin's brows furrowed even deeper.
After hesitating, she finally said, "I have my limits."
With that, Mu Yinyin stepped towards the exit.
However...
Just as she reached the doorway, Fu Siye suddenly said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you won't see him."
Mu Yinyin's expression stiffened, and she immediately turned her head to look at Fu Siye, "What do you mean by that?"
Not seeing him.
What was going on?
"Don't you understand the literal meaning?" Fu Siye's gaze upon her was filled with mockery.
Mu Yinyin, however, was even more astonished, staring intently at the person in front of her.
