Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1907 - 1925: Red Directive (Part 10)

Yu Fengji sensed her gaze and turned his head with a hint of confusion.

Fu Xinwu quickly averted her eyes guiltily, pretending to look elsewhere, glancing left and right but daring not to look at Yu Fengji. At the same time, she cursed herself internally, wondering why she had never noticed she was so cowardly before.

She was fearless, not afraid of anything; when she lived at Yu Fengji’s place, she turned his world upside down! After several failed escape attempts, she even caused quite a scene at the Empire City Police Department.

Yu Fengji had the honor of being ranked as the person she hated the most, with a significant gap between him and the second place. Now that Yu Fengji no longer keeps an eye on her, why has her own courage suddenly diminished? Why does she resort to sneaking glances?

Fu Xinwu muttered internally, speculating, while Yu Fengji looked at the girl who was so close, his thin lips curling into a very faint smile.

This was the first time he smiled in a while, his facial muscles slightly stiff, making the smile seem cold.

"You..." Fu Xinwu decided to take the initiative to eliminate her inexplicable state, "I heard you’ve been quite miserable lately?" As soon as she said this, she felt like slapping herself.

Yu Fengji smiled self-deprecatingly, nodding sincerely, "Indeed!" He had indeed been very miserable, and very busy, to the extent he couldn’t even find time to see her.

"Uh..." Yu Fengji’s sudden approachability made Fu Xinwu feel like she was bullying an honest person, "Then... keep it up!"

Yu Fengji raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise and suddenly revealed a smile, "Thank you!"

"..."

So the two fell into silence again, and Fu Xinwu estimated in her mind that she couldn’t just stay there, forget it, forget it, she was definitely no match for Yu Fengji in getting deep, she should just leave!

Fu Xinwu turned around, about to leave, when Yu Fengji’s voice came from behind, "I heard you’re planning to go abroad after graduating from your master’s program?"

"Yes, I plan to go abroad for further studies." Fu Xinwu’s upbringing left her unable to speak with her back to someone so impolitely, so she had to turn around.

"Have you picked a school abroad yet?"

"I’ve already received offers from three universities, but I need to think about which one to choose."

Yu Fengji looked at Fu Xinwu with a deep gaze, putting her under great pressure. She faced his gaze bravely but suddenly froze.

Why did she feel like Yu Fengji had something to say to her?

"Do you... have something you want to say to me?"

Yu Fengji silently looked at her, his gaze deep and complex, as if filled with countless unsaid words and overwhelming emotions that suffocated. Fu Xinwu didn’t understand, thinking she might be seeing things, she frowned in doubt, wanting to ask but felt it might not be appropriate.

Actually, she wasn’t that familiar with Yu Fengji, having little interaction over the past twenty years of her life. The real interactions only began after Wei Qin’s passing, when she was engulfed in pain... Thinking of Wei Qin, Fu Xinwu’s emotions suddenly became chaotic, forcing herself to push through these feelings.

The past is the past! She told herself in her heart that no matter how painful, it was useless.

Wei Qin was a kind person, his departure was without pain or regrets. If she indulged in grief and sadness, it would only add to Wei Qin’s burden. He was good friends with her uncle and always treated her like a junior.

"What if I don’t want you to go abroad?" Yu Fengji suddenly spoke, his gaze heavy as he looked at her, "I don’t want you to go abroad; can you stay?"
