Chapter Thirteen: Drawing in His Embrace
a brilliant smile spread across her face: "Thank you, Instructor."Then, taking Shen Qiong's hand, she left.As the two walked towards the supermarket, Shen Qiong said in puzzlement, "Little Xingxing an...A Rolls-Royce Phantom led the convoy speeding towards the manor.
Inside the car, Fu Lingxiao leisurely leaned against the back seat, lowering his eyes to quickly scan the contract in his hands, his expression focused and serious.
Mu Xing sat beside him, her hands neatly placed on her lap, a pair of bright and lively eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of her.
Since the son of the plump woman from down the mountain came up to show off that their family had bought a computer and described how much fun it was, she developed a strong desire for one.
But Master wouldn't even let her buy a phone, let alone a computer.
After yearning for it for so many years, the computer was right in front of Mu Xing. Her heart pounded with excitement. She carefully looked at Fu Lingxiao, wanting to ask if she could try playing on it.
Xiao Shu Shu's uncle is working hard and she can't disturb him.
After staring at the computer for a while, she turned her head to look at Fu Lingxiao. He was still working...
Just as she looked at Fu Lingxiao for the tenth time, the man who had been looking down at the document suddenly spoke, "If you want to play computer games, then go ahead."
Mu Xing couldn't believe it, her eyes wide open. "Little uncle, how did you know I wanted to play computer"
Fu Lingxiao flipped a page of the file and said lightly, "Your eyes are almost glued to the computer."
Mu Xing looked into Fu Ling Xiao's eyes, and little stars flashed in her gaze. Uncle Fu was so amazing! He was always working, but he still noticed everything she did!
"Thank you, Uncle!"
She happily thanked him, her little butt scooting forward to lie in front of the computer and start studying.
It had been awfully quiet for a long time.
Fu Lingxiao looked up, and the little girl was drawing on a painting software. Her chubby little hand drew on the computer screen, her perfect and small side profile reflected the light of the screen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her expression serious yet adorable.
Fu Lingxiao was looking intently.
Suddenly, a sharp screech of brakes sounded, the car came to a sudden stop. Fu Lingxiao reacted instantly, stabilizing his figure in an instant.
However, Mu Xing was concentrating on painting, completely unaware. The immense inertia sent her sprawling forward.
Seeing the little girl's small face about to smash into the screen, Fu Lingxiao's expression turned slightly serious. He instinctively reached out and wrapped his big hand around her slender waist. With a gentle pull, her tiny body fell into his arms.
A faint milky fragrance lingered in the air, and the softness of his palm was beyond compare. The man's eyes were deep, yet there was no trace of disgust; he didn't want to let go.
"I'm sorry, sir..."
The driver trembled, wanting to turn around and explain, but Shen Lue in the passenger seat gave him a look that could kill. Couldn't he see that Master Fu was enjoying himself! He really had no eye for detail.
The driver understood immediately and fell silent. As he restarted the car, he also thoughtfully raised the partition.
Inside the car, Mu Xing blinked and pointed to the partition board, looking up at Fu Lingxiao, "Little Uncle, it seems like we've been locked in."
Fu Lingxiao glanced at the shield, his face darkening slightly.
It seems that the higher wages have made them more interested in things outside of their regular work!
He withdrew his hand from the girl's waist, smoothed down his slightly disheveled suit jacket, and handed the computer to Mu Xing, instructing in a low voice, "Stick with playing."
"Oh."
Mu Xing held the computer and nestled obediently into the man's arms.
Fu Lingxiao: "..."
He meant for her to lean against the car seat and play, what does this girl understand
The little girl, not satisfied yet, leaned against him and rubbed her body against his. She found a comfortable position, and her chubby little hands started drawing on the computer screen again.
Fu Lingxiao stroked his forehead, alright, seeing that she had been bullied today, let her run wild for once.
This is a one-time occurrence, and will not happen again!
Mu Xing leaned against the man's chest and sketched all the way.
And Shen Lue sitting in the passenger seat, had been sticking his ear to the windshield listening all the way, unfortunately the sound insulation was too good, he stood with his ears perked up and listened for nothing.
As the car stopped at the estate, Mu Xing's painting was just finished.
"Uncle, I finished my drawing!"
She was holding a computer, her face full of excitement.
The man glanced at the painting. He thought the little girl had just been scribbling randomly, but when his nonchalant gaze fell on the screen, he was taken aback, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.
On the screen, a man stood under the starry sky, his face sketched with lifelike detail, as if real.
"Why are you drawing me" he suddenly asked.
Mu Xing didn't think at all and blurted out, "Because Little Uncle is handsome!"
She looked at him expectantly and asked, "This is what I saw when I first met my Uncle Xiao. Do you think I drew him well"
"It's well drawn."
The little girl's painting skills were excellent, she could say that she perfectly replicated her appearance.
>
"Thank you." Fu Lingxiao took the computer. "Get out of the car first, I have something to do."
"Oh."
The little girl got out of the car obediently.
Fu Lingxiao pressed the button, and the barrier slowly descended. A face stuck to the barrier quickly shrank back, leaving a blurred outline for a moment.
"Shen Lue."
The man spoke in a cold, hard voice.
The previous second, Shen Yue was still acting slyly. This second, after turning his head, he immediately became serious and respectful, saying: "Master Fu, what is it"
Fu Lingxiao propped one hand on the armrest, his deep gaze fixed on the picture on the computer screen: "Who did Mu Xing enter tonight's room, and who was inside."
Shen Yue had already investigated, "He just went into the private room of Wang Zong, the CEO of Rong Qian Real Estate, and there were only him and a few companions at the time."
Fu Lingxiao let out a sigh and closed his laptop. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a petite figure standing obediently at the entrance of the villa.
He strode over, "Why not go in"
Mu Xing looked up at the man's eyes and said seriously, "Uncle Xiao, you are my boss. I can't leave my boss outside and go in first."
Well, little girl, you're quite aware of the work ethic.
A faint smile crossed the depths of his eyes, “I don’t have such rules here. Do whatever you want, come in.”
Okay!
Two people entered the house and went upstairs. Mu Xing waved to Fu Lingxiao and sweetly said, "Good night," then skipped into her room.
As the door closed, a hint of a smile played at the corner of the man's lips.
Back in her room, Mu Xing took a bath and then pulled out a slightly yellowed booklet from her bag. Holding a pen, she drew an intricate pattern on it with utmost seriousness. After putting the booklet away, she finally lay down contentedly to sleep.
- The Meishe Club, eighth floor.
Private leisure and entertainment area.
In the vast swimming pool, a graceful figure swims freely in the azure water, creating perfect arcs of ripples with each stroke.
By the pool, an assistant stood patiently holding a tablet.
After swimming back and forth for a dozen times, the man in the water finally stopped, leaning against the pool wall. He took off his swim cap and goggles, revealing a stunningly handsome face.
His skin was very white and delicate, his beautiful phoenix eyes slightly raised, a pair of amber-colored pupils flashed with a mischievous light, and water droplets dripped from his chestnut hair.
He raised his hand and tucked the stray hair that fell across his brow behind his ear, "Bring me the surveillance footage."
The assistant immediately opened the video on the tablet and held it up to him.
In the video, a young girl in a black long dress holds her skirt in both hands and faces the bodyguards who keep swarming around. There's not even a hint of fear on her delicate and beautiful face. With a few leaps, she effortlessly kicks them away.
Actions swift as a cheetah, strength mighty as a tiger.
The video ended with her standing before Fu Lingxiao, a small smile playing on her lips.
That smile, it was a genuineness and purity he had never seen before.
A hint of an enigmatic light flashed across his handsome face. He asked his assistant, "Have you found out about her background"
"None." The assistant replied. "I've exhausted all channels, but I can't find any information at all, it's as if it just appeared out of thin air."
Ye Fei pressed his brow, he couldn't even find it himself, could it be that Fu Lingxiao had deliberately concealed it
One thing is certain, this woman is definitely not from the Fu family. But what exactly is her identity What could make Fu Lingxiao value her so much that he personally stepped in for her
Could it be true, as those people say, that she is Fu Lingxiao's kept mistress
The Fu and Ye families have always kept to themselves, but Fu Lingxiao, for this woman, went to his place to discipline his men, making him, the boss, lose all face!
He absolutely had to find an opportunity to get out of this situation!
The assistant leaned in, “Young Master Ye, I have a bold guess about this woman’s identity.”by a gasp of surprise. She grabbed Qiao Daishan's neck with both hands, and the transparent silver needle hidden under her fingertips plunged mercilessly into the acupuncture point at the back of his...
