Mu Hui was speechless. Did this old man really think that his grandson was a hot commodity?

Fine, Mu Hui had to admit that Fu Siye was indeed outstanding.

​​

Mu Hui waved her hand nonchalantly. She did not take it to heart. Instead, she replied, “Let’s talk about it in the future.”

Old Master Fu was still worried. He asked, “Don’t tell me you’re really interested in my grandson?”

Mu Hui smiled faintly. She then replied, “Grandpa Fu, aren’t you afraid that one day, you’ll cry and beg me to marry your grandson?”

“Impossible!”

Old Master Fu denied it flatly. Fu Siye who seemed to be kicked around like a piece of commodity pretended not to hear anything that they were saying.

However, he noticed that Mu Hui’s face was a little pale. He frowned and approached her.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine…”

Mu Hui shook her head. Suddenly, her vision turned dark and she fell forward.

Fu Siye was quick-witted as he pulled Mu Hui into his embrace. His tone revealed an unnoticeable nervousness.

“What’s wrong?”

Mu Hui took a moment to recover. The black fog in front of her slowly receded. She replied, “It’s nothing serious, I’m just a little tired.”

The needlework was really taxing and with her current physique, it was difficult for her to endure it.

Fu Siye’s eyes darkened. He raised his hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth.

She was too tense earlier and had bit down on her lips unconsciously.

Fu Siye’s rough fingertips brushed past her soft lips, causing her wound to feel numb.

Only then did Mu Hui realize that the distance between the two of them was too intimate. There was an unnatural look in his eyes, and she wanted to put some distance between them.

“I’m fine now.”

She reached out to push Fu Siye away. However, in the next second, she was forcefully pulled back in by him.

“No, you have to rest well. Grandpa, we’ll be staying here tonight.”

Fu Siye proceeded to carry her in his arms and went up to the second floor without looking back.

Old Master Fu glared at Fu Siye’s back. He knew he could not refuse him. He smashed the glass onto the ground angrily.

“Hmph, a man can’t be kept!”
