29 -28: Do Not Let Down

Mustering her courage, she raised her hand and touched its head.

Its tail wagged even more joyfully.

Auntie Song came out with a bowl of sweet dumpling soup, “Sixteen belongs to Mr.

Fu, he doesn’t like interacting with strangers.

It must have scared you.”

Fu Tingzhou was dressed in ash gray loungewear, freshly washed hair giving him a softer, bulkier look, without the usual coldness, instead conveying a touch of a handsome young man’s charm.

Auntie Song said, “I’ve prepared some late-night snacks.

Have some with us, Mr.

Fu.”

Fu Tingzhou sat at the dining table.

Tang Xi happened to sit opposite him.

From time to time, Sixteen would run over.

Although Tang Xi knew it wouldn’t hurt her, the sight of such a large dog charging towards her still made her tense up, gripping the spoon in her hand tightly.

In truth, she was quite afraid of dogs.

In her childhood, after school, the Su family’s driver picked up Su Mengshu and left, while she had to walk home alone and was chased by a stray dog for two streets.

The dining room was very quiet.

Only the sound of the soup spoon clinking against the bowl could be heard.

Tang Xi really was hungry.

The scent of the food made her stomach embarrassingly growl.

She lowered her head a bit awkwardly, eating the sweet dumplings in her bowl.

She quickly glanced at Fu Tingzhou sitting opposite her.

He was slightly bowed, looking at his phone, with fluffy soft hair.

Tang Xi recalled the image of him dressed in a black suit during the day; meticulous, cold, and handsome – a stark contrast to his current appearance.

It felt as if she had glimpsed a side of him she had never seen before.

Tang Xi’s lips tightened subtly.

It was almost midnight, and a clock in the living room began to chime.

“Fu…” She opened her mouth, having just made a sound.

When she heard Fu Tingzhou say, “Tomorrow, leave this place.”

The tone was indifferent, devoid of emotion, even somewhat impatient.

Clearly, his temporary accommodation for her was already the extent of his benevolence.

Tang Xi’s heart clenched.

Watching Fu Tingzhou’s retreating figure heading upstairs, she put down the dish in her hand and chased after him.

From a distance of one floor, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you rescue me?”

She finally uttered the question that had been weighing on her heart.

How could he have known that she was wrongfully imprisoned, and why would he rescue her…

“Being imprisoned under the title of Mrs.

Fu, the police contacted me.

Do you think I was eager to save you?

Not to mention, you’re also Mengshu’s sister.”

Mengshu’s sister…

Those words felt deeply ironic to her.

Digging her nails into her palm, she took a deep breath and said, “What if I say, I was framed and it was directed by Su Mengshu?”

Fu Tingzhou turned around to look at her and coldly warned, “She’s your sister, you should at least have the minimal respect for her!”

Tang Xi was initially startled.

Then a pale smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

She thought, now she understood.

If she weren’t currently known as Su Mengshu’s sister, if she were to die in prison, he probably wouldn’t even give her a second look, let alone rescue her…

Su Mengshu is so pure and beautiful, how could she do such a thing…

and even with ten mouths, I can’t explain it clearly.

Perhaps Fu Tingzhou would think that it was me who framed Su Mengshu.

Lying in the unfamiliar bed at night, the air filled with the faint scent of ebony, Tang Xi couldn’t sleep.

When she finally did, it was Fu Tingzhou’s face in her dreams.

She seemed to be in a pale and icy snowfield when suddenly a hand, warm to the touch, grasped hers and led her towards a place bathed in light.

She opened her eyes and sat up.

Realizing only afterward that she was in an unfamiliar environment.

She was no longer in the detention center…

Fu Tingzhou had already taken her away from there.

It was warm here, but it was not her home after all.

Tang Xi left at five in the morning; it was still early.

The villa was silent when she departed.

She didn’t return to the Su Family, but went to the hospital instead.

Upon arriving at the changing room, she found a set of spare clothes in the locker and changed into them,

Because she had unjustifiably missed three days of work, the hospital also meted out punishment, deducting half a month’s performance bonus.

At noon, eating in the hospital cafeteria with Ruan Youqing, Tang Xi had no appetite.

Ruan Youqing, looking at her pale complexion, expressed her concern, “Where have you been these past few days?

I couldn’t reach you on the phone.”

Tang Xi, with no one to confide in, looked at Ruan Youqing, opened her mouth as if she had much to say, but in the end, she just said, “It’s all in the past…”

“Look at yourself, you’ve become so thin in just a few days.

Did the Su Family mistreat you again…”

Tang Xi and Ruan Youqing had known each other since high school, and they had applied for the same major at the same university.

Having known each other for over a decade, she knew very well about Tang Xi’s situation; the Su Family had officially adopted her as a daughter, but in reality, they treated her as a portable blood bank!

“Youqing, I want to move out of the Su Family…”

“I support you!

I’ll come with you tonight to look for a place outside.”

A smile appeared on Tang Xi’s face as she looked at Ruan Youqing, “Mhm.”

Ruan Youqing’s phone buzzed, and she looked at the caller ID with a sweet smile, “Yixing, yes, I’m at lunch, what about you?

Did you eat yet?

Oh, wait, you’re in the U.S., it should be time for you to rest now, right?”

“Mhm, Qingqing, I need some money for an academic research project I’m doing lately, could you send me some money…”

Ruan Youqing was slightly stunned, “How much?

Thirty thousand?…”

She didn’t have that much money on hand, but hearing her boyfriend say how important this research was for his academic career, Ruan Youqing nodded immediately, “I’ll find a way to gather it; you don’t need to worry about me, Yixing.”

Ruan Youqing wanted to chat more with Zhao Yixing, but the line was cut off on the other end.

Tang Xi looked at Ruan Youqing, her brows faintly furrowed, “Is Zhao Yixing asking you for money again?

Didn’t you just send him 4,000 for living expenses last month?”

“It’s different, this time Yixing needs it for a very important academic research project, it’s crucial to his studies,” said Ruan Youqing with sweetness in her eyes when mentioning Zhao Yixing.

“Youqing, for the two years that Zhao Yixing has been studying abroad, you’ve sent him over a hundred thousand, all from your own frugal savings.

A grown man, relying on his girlfriend to send him money to support his studies…” Tang Xi said, her lips pressed together.

Ruan Youqing squeezed Tang Xi’s hand, “I know you’re worried about me, but don’t worry, I’ve been with Yixing for four years, since university, I know what kind of person he is.

His mother is not in good health, and it was not easy for him to get the opportunity to study abroad.

If I don’t support him as a girlfriend, how will he cope alone?

But it’ll be over soon, he’ll be back after this year, and we will definitely invite you to our wedding.”

Looking at the smile on Ruan Youqing’s face, Tang Xi frowned deeply, hoping Zhao Yixing wouldn’t let Ruan Youqing down…
