Chapter 78 -60: The Gift_2

At that moment, unlike what Shu Wan had said, Fu Siyu could tell that she actually trusted him a lot.

Unfortunately,

Fu Siyu put down the cup he was holding, raised his hand, and tried to touch Shu Wan’s lower lip, but he stopped when he was only a step away.

“You seem to trust me too much,” Fu Siyu suddenly said in the silent carriage.

Outside the window, fireworks burst forth in grand splendor; inside the carriage, Shu Wan was lost in a hazy drunkenness, and no one heard Fu Siyu’s words.

When Shu Wan woke up again, it was already early morning.

Her head aching, Shu Wan raised her arm to rub her temples; after just a couple of rubs, she turned her head to look at the side, where Fu Siyu was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa.

Shu Wan picked up her phone to check the time and then sat up and called out to Fu Siyu, “Fu Siyu.”

Hearing her voice, Fu Siyu opened his eyes, still heavy with sleepiness, “You’re awake.

How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.”

Apart from a bit of thirst, just as Shu Wan was about to get up to grab a cup, Fu Siyu handed her a glass of water, “Have some water first.”

Shu Wan paused, then nodded slightly at Fu Siyu, “Thank you.”

The warm water slid down her throat, making Shu Wan feel much more comfortable.

She put down the cup, “Thank you for taking care of me, you should go back to rest too, it’s very late.”

“Okay.” Fu Siyu stood up, filled the cup with more water, then turned and left, “Good night.”

“Good—” Shu Wan had just uttered one syllable, when she suddenly remembered something and called out to Fu Siyu, “Fu Siyu, thank you.”

Fu Siyu halted in his steps and turned to look at Shu Wan, his deep gaze like that of a profound well, “Thank me for what?”

“You’ve been very kind to me.”

Since entering this unfamiliar era, Fu Siyu had offered her a lot of help; even now, being abroad, Fu Siyu was with her the whole time.

Fu Siyu’s kindness made her somewhat puzzled, “Why are you so good to me?”

“Before we’re divorced, you are rightfully Madam Fu.

What’s the problem with me being good to you?”

Fu Siyu tossed the question back to Shu Wan.

Although Shu Wan felt something was amiss, the alcohol hadn’t completely worn off, leaving her without the energy to analyze Fu Siyu’s words.

Even then, Shu Wan momentarily short-circuited, “Then if we get divorced, you wouldn’t be this good to me anymore.”

With that said, the room went quiet for a moment.

Fu Siyu’s gaze slightly lifted, his expression somewhat odd as he watched Shu Wan, until she uncomfortably shifted her gaze away.

Then, Fu Siyu finally spoke slowly, “That won’t happen, I’ll definitely always be this good.”

Unsure if it was due to the increased body temperature from drinking or the awkward topic they were discussing,

Shu Wan suddenly felt a bit hot and instinctively avoided Fu Siyu’s gaze, “It’s late, go get some rest.”

“Okay.”

As Fu Siyu was about to leave, his gaze brushed past Shu Wan’s ears, as red as pomegranate seeds, his gaze slightly stirred, and he suddenly turned back.

Seeing Fu Siyu return, Shu Wan was stunned, “What’s wrong?”

Fu Siyu stretched out his hand, pointing behind Shu Wan, “There’s a large patch of ivy climbing the outside of this castle.”

As Fu Siyu spoke, Shu Wan turned her head to look, and then was startled by a spider crawling into the house from the windowsill.

It was a spider with an odd pattern, black and white spiraled, a rare species, and, incidentally, the kind that Shu Wan feared the most.

Shu Wan wasn’t afraid of snakes, but she had a particular fear of these black and white interwoven spiders, a fear stemming from a childhood trauma.

In her previous life, whether inside or outside the court, Prime Minister Shu had countless enemies.

He always acted cautiously, and since others couldn’t grasp anything against him, they naturally turned their attention to his children.

At that time, Shu Wan’s older brother had already reached adulthood and entered the military for training, while her younger brother was still in his infancy, never leaving the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Thus, Shu Wan, who had been sent to school at an early age, became their target.

Despite the tight security, there was a moment of lapse in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, which allowed an opening for the enemies.

Back then, Shu Wan, who was only a few years old, was kidnapped by thieves and taken all the way to the Western Regions.

The journey had taken so long that Shu Wan couldn’t remember how long they had run; she only remembered that towards the end, there was only the intense heat and the endless desert.

Later, finding Shu Wan too much trouble, the thieves found a cliff and threw her down. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
