Chapter 537 What Are You Doing
Shen Qianan had a heavy heart after she came out of Shi Nuan’s room. A figure suddenly appeared in front of the former, and she looked at the man, surprised. Zhou Zheng nodded slightly and said, “Ms. Shen, Mr. Fu would like to see you.”
“Okay,” she replied with a nod. She took a glance at the ward and added. “Um… it seemed like Shi Nuan had an episode just now.” Zhou Zheng nodded. “Mr. Fu is already aware of that. Don’t worry, Ms. Shen. There’s nothing to be worried about for now.”
Shen Qianan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. “Please bring me to see Fu Chengyan right away, Mr. Zhou.” The truth was, Fu Chengyan had been in the ward next to Shi Nuan’s the entire time. Because he couldn’t help but worry, he had arranged for security to guard Shi Nuan’s ward while he sat next door.
Zhou Zheng pushed open the door and signaled Shen Qianan to enter. Shen Qianan saw Fu Chengyan sitting on the couch with his eyes glued to the surveillance monitor. As she walked toward him, she saw the monitor was a surveillance image of Shi Nuan’s ward.
Shi Nuan struggled to lie back down after Shen Qianan left. Fu Chengyan watched as both his hands clenched into fists. He raised his head to look at Shen Qianan and pointed to the chair opposite him. “Please, have a seat.”
Shen Qianan hesitated for a moment before she nodded and took a seat in front of him. “Were you the one who asked Shen Shixiu to bring me here? Tell me, what do you need me to do?”
Shen Qianan knew that if it wasn’t for Shi Nuan, Fu Chengyan would definitely not want to see her again, let alone be in the same room as him.
Fu Chengyan was surprised by how calm Shen Qianan was acting. He waved his hand, signaling Zhou Zheng to leave the room and watch Shi Nuan closely. Then, Fu Chengyan’s eyes were pinned on Shen Qianan. “May is your biological sister.”
Shen Qianan pinched her palm. “Yeah, so what? You didn’t even bother to seek me out before, Mr. Fu. Yet, you want to see me now. Unless-”
“Fu Sijue.” Fu Chengyan interrupted. He took a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his pants and took one out of the packet. However, he didn’t light it and only held it between his fingers.
Shen Qianan knew that this was one of the few actions Fu Chengyan used when he was in deep thought. She often saw him do that when they were still together. He usually only does this when being met with a tricky situation. Not to mention Shi Nuan’s pregnant now, so he should’ve already quit smoking. It must be something really difficult for him to act like this again.
Shen Qianan suddenly became stunned when she heard Fu Chengyan mention Fu Sijue. She looked at Fu Chengyan dumbfounded as she clenched her fists. “What are you implying?”
“The masked man who kidnapped you was the same man who kidnapped May. I’m sure you’re aware of this by now,” Fu Chengyan said, staring at Shen Qianan.
Shen Qianan wasn’t sure what Fu Chengyan’s motive was, but she couldn’t help but think of Jue when she heard Fu Sijue’s name. She didn’t think it was a coincidence at all. He refused to tell me his name when I was with him back then and only asked me to call him Jue.
Hence, she subconsciously thought of Jue when she heard Fu Sijue.
Shen Qianan pursed her lips without saying a word. Fu Chengyan on the other hand, was pinning his gaze on her, unwilling to miss any change of expression on her face.
“Have you heard of Fu Sijue before?”
Shen Qianan shook her head. “Nope!” she replied, looking away – her eyes afraid to meet Fu Chengyan’s.
His stern eyes fell on Shen Qianan’s body and seeing how anxious she was, Fu Chengyan was more sure than ever.
“How about J? I’m sure you know him!”
Shen Qianan couldn’t help but tighten her grip as her face fell pale. “Just tell me why I’m here, Fu Chengyan.”
He laughed and said, “I’m a businessman; I’m sure you should know me very well by now. One thing I love is to make deals with someone smart.” Seeing the confused look on Shen Qianan’s face, he stood up and put his hands in his pockets.
Standing with his back facing Shen Qianan, he looked out the window. “Fu Sijue is from the Fu clan. I’m not sure why he had to do that to May, but regardless of what happened now or him kidnapping you back then, he just wants to provoke me.”
“So what? Fu Chengyan, you should understand if it wasn’t for you back then, I wouldn’t have been kidnapped!” Shen Qianan wasn’t easily fooled.
I might not know what his next move is, but he must have a plan in mind if he sought me out. In the past, I probably would’ve done everything for him. Alas, I’m no longer the Shen Qianan I used to be. I don’t love him anymore, and Yu still needs me.
“Not only May, but even Pei Huan and Bao were injected with the virus by him.” Fu Chengyan turned around and his eyes fell on Shen Qianan’s face, which looked uncannily like Shi Nuan’s. Squeezing his
fists, he asked, “How much do you think he cares about you?”
“What do you think you’re doing?” Shen Qianan’s face abruptly drained of all color.
“He hurt my sister, my child, and now, my wife. What do you think I’m going to do?”
Shen Qianan was flabbergasted by how calm Fu Chengyan looked. “Yu and I… are innocent, Fu Chengyan!”
“I don’t wish to hurt the both of you, but only you can goad him out right now.” Fu Chengyan walked to the coffee table and handed a document to Shen Qianan. “It wasn’t Shen Shixiu and me when you got into trouble in C Country!”
Shen Qianan fell stunned. She took the document from Fu Chengyan’s hands and after going through the first sheet, she threw it away with her hands trembling.
Suddenly, she started laughing and eventually began to cry. “Fu Chengyan, you’re a coldhearted man.” He knew what happened four years ago was like a thorn in my heart. Even if I refused to admit it, I can’t ignore the relationship I had with Jue. Whether it was love or hate, he’s still the man I care deeply for.
“Aren’t you afraid that once you’ve given me this information, I’d refuse to help you and side him instead?”
Fu Chengyan frowned and his dark eyes fell on Shen Qianan’s body once more. As he kept silent, the room was terrifyingly quiet. Shen Qianan preferred Fu Chengyan angry, compared to how he acted before. At least it makes him seem like any other ordinary person.
However, the way Fu Chengyan was gloomily staring at Shen Qianan made the latter panic and anxious. I doubt he realizes how much of a cold force he has.
Shen Qianan could feel her fingertips shaking and tried clenching her fists to calm herself down. “He’s Yu’s father.”
“I’m sure you’ll agree with what I want to do.” With that, Fu Chengyan stopped staring at Shen Qianan.
Standing there, Shen Qianan saw Fu Chengyan heading toward the door of the ward about to leave and called out, “Fu Chengyan!”
He held the door with one hand without moving or turning around.
Shen Qianan clenched and loosened her fists repeatedly. The ward was so silent that she could hear her ears ringing. Finally, after taking a deep breath, she muttered, “It’s late now, so I’ll be here in the morning to take my blood test.”
“Okay.” Fu Chengyan’s expression was slightly more relaxed. “But you need to promise me something!”
Shen Qianan paused for what felt like forever and uttered, “Yu’s my life.”
“Wonderful.”
Shen Qianan began laughing. Her laugh might not be very loud in such a quiet ward, but Fu Chengyan couldn’t help but turn around to look at her.
Shen Qianan also looked at him and said, “Sometimes, I’m really jealous of Shi Nuan to have a man who loves her so much. But, Fu Chengyan, does she know what you look like when you’re staining your hands with blood?”
Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. “No, she doesn’t, and she will never need to know.”
Shen Qianan smiled again and lowered her head, hiding the loneliness in her eyes. “Thankfully, I stopped loving you way back then. Who knows what I would’ve become? You should go see her now. I think she had an episode earlier,” Shen Qianan spoke softly. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows after hearing those words and immediately disappeared from Shen Qianan’s sight.
Zhou Zheng knocked on the door. “Ms. Shen, let me take you home.”
“There’s no need for that. Jiang Zhan’s waiting for me downstairs!” Shen Qianan refused Zhou Zheng’s offer and smiled. “I’ll get going now.”
Zhou Zheng watched as Shen Qianan slowly disappeared from the corridor. He couldn’t help but frown after noticing something was wrong with Shen Qianan.
Shen Qianan’s eyes were brimming with tears when she walked out of the hospital. Under the dim light, no one would’ve noticed her expression if they didn’t pay attention. Naturally, Jiang Zhan didn’t notice it either. Shen Qianan walked to the car and quickly hopped in after opening the door. “Let’s go, Mr. Jiang.”
There was a hint of a nasal tone when she spoke, but Jiang Zhan wasn’t paying attention.
Shen Qianan kept her head low the entire time, and no one knew what she was thinking about. Once they arrived below her apartment, Jiang Zhan opened the door for her. Without saying another word, Shen Qianan went upstairs with her head still down.
She opened the door to her house, and there was a small light on that wasn’t very bright.
After changing her shoes at the entrance, she walked in and saw Shen Shixiu sitting in the living room. The latter sat motionless in the slightly dim living room, staring at her intensely.
Shen Qianan felt a little uncomfortable when Shen Shixiu looked at her. Touching her hair subconsciously, she pinned the messy hair behind her ear and walked over to him. “I’m back. Thank you for minding Yu for me.”
Although her voice was very soft, Shen Shixiu could tell something was off. He frowned slightly and nodded. “How was Nuan?”
Shen Qianan nodded as her eyes flashed. “It’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to get some rest-”
“What did Nuan say?” Shen Shixiu asked, interrupting Shen Qianan.
Pursing her lips, she answered, “It seemed like she wasn’t aware of her virus.” She paused for a moment before she continued. “I’m going to take a blood test at the hospital tomorrow!”
