Seeing the man withdrawing his hand and moving closer to her, she unconsciously moved back a little.

  Fu Tingyu directly used his actions to tell her whether he was serious or not.

  The dim light in the bedroom did not go off until four in the morning.

  The next day

  Fu Tingyu opened his eyes and looked down at the person in his arms. She was sleeping peacefully and her breathing was light. There was no sign of her waking up.

  Her lips pouted slightly because of dissatisfaction, as if she was unhappy.

  This time, he had gone too far.

  He stretched out his long arm and picked up the phone on the bedside table. He looked at the time. It was seven o’clock.

  He put down the phone and looked down at the person who was still sleeping. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.

  Only then did he lift the blanket and get off the bed to go to the bathroom to wash up.

  When he appeared in front of the bed again, he was already fully dressed. He glanced at the person who was still sleeping soundly on the bed. She was so tired that she did not even change her sleeping posture.

  After looking at her for a while, he turned around and left the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

  He finished his breakfast and then stood up and left. When he passed by the entrance and saw Ning Meng, he stopped in his tracks.

  Lemon was actually quite afraid of Fu Tingyu. Thus, when Fu Tingyu stood in front of her, she instinctively straightened her body tightly.

  “Let her sleep until she wakes up naturally.”


  After Fu Tingyu finished speaking, he walked straight out.

  When Fu Tingyu left, the invisible pressure disappeared too. Ning Meng relaxed. She originally planned to go upstairs and ask Qin Shu to come down for breakfast but now, she gave up on the idea of going upstairs.

  Fu Tingyu went to the company first. After dealing with the urgent matters, he made a call to Gu Yan and then got up to go to Gu Yan’s private villa.

  Forty minutes later, at the private villa

  Gu Yan was already prepared to meet Fu Tingyu. He even brewed a pot of tea specially.

  When he told Qin Shu that he was a little nervous, it was not a lie.

  Fu Tingyu’s poison was something that he had been worried about for a long time.

  Now that he had finally found the herbs and the antidote, he was just waiting for the effects.

  It would be weird if he wasn’t nervous.

  When he heard footsteps, he knew that Fu Tingyu had arrived. Because the pharmacy door wasn’t closed so the footsteps outside could be easily heard.

  He turned his head and saw Fu Tingyu walking in. He had been in good spirits for the past few days.

  However, he didn’t see Qin Shu.

  Fu Tingyu walked in directly and sat across from Gu Yan. He glanced at the purple clay pot on the coffee table. There was steam coming out from the mouth of the teapot and the aroma of the tea permeated the air. It was obvious that the tea had just been brewed.

  Gu Yan picked up the purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea for him. He also poured himself a cup of tea. Drinking tea could calm one’s mind.

  He put down the purple clay pot in his hand and looked up at Fu Tingyu. “Aren’t you going to tell Qin Shu about the spread of your poison?”


  Fu Tingyu responded with a “hmph”.

  Gu Yan continued to ask, “So you’re not going to tell her about the testing of antidote today?”


  Fu Tingyu reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him and brought it to his mouth to take a sip. “I’ll tell her when the poison is completely gone.”


  “Okay.” Gu Yan seemed to understand what he was thinking. He turned his head to look at Ji Fei. “Go prepare the bathtub. Put the herbs in the order I told you.”


  “Got it, young master.” Ji Fei turned around and walked out.

  The only advantage of traditional Chinese medicine compared to Western medicine was that it would not lead to hair loss or have other implications due to the various treatments.

  Gu Yan retracted his gaze and looked at Fu Tingyu. “Soak yourself in the herbs for a while first before taking the antidote. It can help you to successfully expel the poison.”


  “Okay.” Fu Tingyu didn’t know much about the ancient Chinese medicine’s detoxification metho, but he trusted Gu Yan. He trusted him enough to place his life in his hands.

  After they finished the tea in the purple clay pot, Ji Fei was ready. He walked in and stood in front of Gu Yan. “Young master, it’s ready.”


  “Okay.”


  Gu Yan looked at Fu Tingyu. He stood up and walked to the next room.

  Fu Tingyu followed him in.

  The room next door had been refurbished. In the bathroom, there was a bathtub that was half the height of a person. It was steaming hot and there were all kinds of medicinal herbs floating on it. The originally clear hot water had also turned dark brown.

  The bathtub had been specially customized by Gu Yan. The wood was also pear blossom wood. Fu Tingyu was a germaphobe. He would never use anything that other people used before.

  Fu Tingyu smelled the strong smell of herbs as soon as he walked in. It was a little pungent.

  Fu Tingyu stood in front of the bathtub and started to take off his clothes. He took off his suit jacket and pants one by one and placed them on the clothes rack at the side. He took them off until only his underwear was left. Only then did he step into the bathtub. The water was a little hot but it was within his tolerance range.

  After he entered, he sat on a stool in the bathtub.

  In the bathtub, there was a stool that was connected to the wall of the bathtub so it would not move.

  Gu Yan took out the medicine that he had prepared and placed it on the side. He turned to look at Fu Tingyu and asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”


  “It’s a little numbing.” Fu Tingyu felt that the place that had been soaked by the hot water was a little numb.

  Hearing that, Gu Yan nodded and looked at the time. After about ten minutes, he started to prepare the medicine that he had made with hot water.

  He picked up the glass and shook it. After it cooled down a little, he picked it up and handed it to Fu Tingyu.

  Fu Tingyu reached out to take it and brought it to his mouth. He took a sip. It was a little hot and very bitter, just like the saying that good medicine was bitter.

  He frowned slightly and could only drink it slowly. After he finished it, he handed the empty glass to Gu Yan.

  Gu Yan knew that this medicine was bitter, exceptionally bitter. Fu Tingyu was already very strong since he managed to finished the medicine without vomiting it out.

  He took the empty glass and placed it on the marble table at the side.

  Gu Yan stood at the side and watched Fu Tingyu’s reaction after drinking the antidote.

  The moment Fu Tingyu sat in the bathtub, his forehead began to sweat. It was because of the hot water.

  After drinking the medicine, beads of sweat fell down his forehead like rain, It never stopped.

  His fair skin was a little red after being soaked in the hot water. At this moment, because of the medicine, it was even redder.

  On the contrary, the his lips seemed to have lost its color as they began to turn white.

  At this moment, in Sheng Yuan.

  Qin Shu woke up from her dream. She opened her eyes abruptly and looked at the slightly dark bedroom. She subconsciously turned her head to look at her side. The man had already left.

  The thick curtains blocked the sunlight outside, causing the light in the bedroom to be a little dim. This was also one of the reasons why she fell into a deep sleep.

  The curtains were specially pulled up by Fu Tingyu before he left. Moreover, they were double-decked in order to prevent the sunlight from getting in. It created a good sleeping environment.

  When she thought about how the man had tortured her for so long last night so that she could have a good rest today, she did not know whether she should laugh or be angry.

  Fu Tingyu must have already gone to Gu Yan’s place.

  She hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up. She gasped in pain because her actions were too big.

  She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was almost eleven o’clock. It was already so late. She wondered how they were doing now.

  She dialed Gu Yan’s number without thinking.

  After a while, the call was picked up.

  “Gu Yan, he’s already there, right? How is he now? Is he still at your place?”
