The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

Cai Xiaoyan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"About the shop,"

Fu Hua continued, "Once you're settled, come anytime. Aunt Zhang is here; she'll take care of you."

Cai Xiaoyan nodded, her eyes reddening again.

"I'll try to go back to work as soon as my mom is discharged from the hospital."

Her voice trembled slightly, "I'll earn money sooner and pay you back sooner."

Fu Hua patted her shoulder.

"No rush, take your time."

Two hours later, Fu Hua came out of the ward.

Just as I reached the top of the stairs, I bumped into someone.

Cheng Yue was wearing a white lab coat and holding a folder in his hand.

My eyes lit up when I saw her.

"Fu Hua! When did you arrive?"

Fu Hua paused for a moment, then nodded: "Just now."

Cheng Yue quickened his pace and caught up.

"Have you come to see Aunt Zhang?"

His voice was clear and bright. "Auntie is recovering well. I asked the attending physician, and she can be discharged in the next couple of days. When do you plan to hold the ceremony?"

"Let's wait a couple of days and let things stabilize a bit more."

Cheng Yue nodded and walked beside her.

"I'm just getting off work."

He said urgently, "Can you wait a minute? Let's go together, I'll treat you to Peking duck."

Cheng Yue followed behind, quickening his pace to catch up.

"How about we get something else to eat? I know a noodle shop nearby that's really good, just a few minutes away..."

"Need not."

Fu Hua didn't stop walking. "Thank you for your kindness, but I have other things to do."

After she finished speaking, she walked quickly forward and quickly put some distance between them.

Cheng Yue stood there, watching that figure walk further and further away.

He stared at the beige-clad figure until she turned the corner and disappeared from sight.

He stood there for a while before slowly walking back.

Chasing after the school beauty is really difficult.

What's even more difficult is that he finds himself increasingly wanting to pursue her.

…………

The next morning, Fu Hua opened her eyes to find sunlight streaming in through the gaps in the curtains.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and got out of bed to wash up.

After washing my face, I carefully combed my hair in front of the mirror and tied it into a neat low ponytail.

He then took out a navy blue suit from the closet.

He wore a white shirt underneath and crisp straight-leg trousers.

Mature and professional attire!

With delicate and sparse eyebrows and eyes, she exudes an aura of unapproachability when she raises her eyes, her beauty both clean and sharp.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself from left to right.

Appropriate, not flashy, suitable for award presentations.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw that familiar Jeep parked at the alley entrance.

Xie Ci leaned against the car door, wearing a brown jacket, a cigarette between his fingers, about to light it.

Seeing her come out, he put away his cigarette and walked over quickly.

"Huahua, I'm just about to go up."

Fu Hua smiled slightly: "Why did you come over at this time?"

Xie Ci looked Fu Hua up and down, his eyes filled with amazement.

This was the first time he had seen Fu Hua dressed like this; she looked really good.

It suits her very well.

"miss you."

His tone was gentle and indulgent, "I haven't been able to find the time these past few days, but today is perfect. Have you eaten yet?"

Fu Hua shook her head.

"Not yet, what about you?"

Xie Ci shook his head, his handsome features showing signs of fatigue, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well.

"Have you been at the hospital for the past two days?"

He nodded in thanks.

"My dad is busy, and my other uncles are also busy. I just happen to not have any tasks lately, so I went to keep watch."

Fu Hua didn't speak, she just looked at him.

Xie Ci felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, touched his face, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

His face must not have any problems.

Huahua likes to touch him afterward the most.

"You told me to take care of myself, but what about you? You don't get any sleep while taking care of the patient?"

Fu Hua was angry.

Don't be angry.

Xie Ci grabbed Fu Hua's arm: "It's my fault. I promise to take good care of myself from now on."

Fu Hua sighed, "Come on, I'll treat you to something nice."

Xie Ci smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"

"There's a newly opened Cantonese restaurant near Wangfujing that I've heard is pretty good."

"A Cantonese restaurant?"

I heard that a meal there costs almost half a month's wages for an average worker.

Although Huahua has shares in Huaning Textile, every business has costs.

Xie Ci paused for two seconds and said, "Huahua, let's just eat something simple."

He took her hand and said softly, "As long as I'm with you, I'll eat anything."

Fu Hua turned to look at him, knowing that he was reluctant to spend her money.

It would probably be too much trouble to find a Cantonese restaurant.

"Okay then, I'll treat you to a meal another day."

She pointed upstairs, "You go upstairs and wait, I'll go buy breakfast."

Xie Ci handed the car keys to Fu Hua.

"I'll go buy it, you go upstairs and wait."

"You didn't sleep well last night, go upstairs and lie down for a while."

"I'm not tired. Be good and go back and wait."

The two people stared at each other for two seconds.

Fu Hua first loosened her grip.

Xie Ci smiled and ruffled Fu Hua's hair: "What do you want to eat?"

"Meat buns, osmanthus porridge."

"Okay, wait for me."

Xie Ci returned with breakfast, and Fu Hua had already set out the bowls and chopsticks.

"Legs that are long really make a difference, they're so fast."

She smiled brightly and accepted the food.

"There were a lot of people at the state-run restaurant today, and there was no queue."

Xie Ci handed the things to her and walked to the dining table.

"These buns were just steamed this morning, they smell so good. I bought ten, that should be enough for tomorrow morning."

Fu Hua handed him the spiritual spring water she had just prepared.

"Take a sip of water first to moisten your throat."

"Thank you, Huahua."

Xie Ci took the water, drank a sip, and nodded: "Sweet. The water Huahua poured is even better than honey water."

Fu Hua's eyes twinkled slightly as she smiled and said, "I never knew you were so sweet-talking!"

I'm serious.

His expression became more serious as he thanked her.

"Okay, I believe you. Eat your food now."

Fu Hua lowered her eyes, her gaze shifting slightly.

It seems I should use less spiritual spring water next time. I didn't expect Xie Ci to have already noticed.

Looking up, I noticed Xie Ci staring at the water in his glass.

Although she knew she couldn't figure it out, Fu Hua was still worried.

He urged, "Not enough? Then finish the rest. Don't waste it."

"good,"

He dragged out his thanks, held his water glass, tilted his head back, and took several large gulps, leaving not a drop.

"Is it okay now?"

A slight smirk played on his lips, his eyes gleaming with mockery. "Excuse me, Fu, may I eat now?"

Fu Hua nodded and smiled gently.

After the two finished their meal, Xie Ci washed the dishes and took out the trash before heading downstairs.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Huaqing University."

Fu Hua picked up her bag: "You can take a nap. It's not far. I can take the bus myself."

Xie Ci shook his head and picked up the trash.

"I've eaten, and now I feel energetic all over. I'm not tired at all."

He glanced at her sideways, his eyes filled with a negotiating smile.

"Just let me deliver it, otherwise I won't be able to sleep lying here."

Fu Hua looked at the dark circles under his eyes and didn't say anything more.

The car drove out of the alley and headed towards Tsinghua University.

……

The entrance to Tsinghua University was busiest during the morning.

Students rode their bicycles in and out, their bells ringing incessantly.

Students walked in twos and threes, carrying books, chatting and laughing.

A military jeep slowly pulled up at the entrance.

The students around slowed down and all turned their gazes toward that direction.

"Wow, who's this high-ranking leader?"

"A military jeep, it must belong to the military."

"Look at that license plate, it's not a car that just anyone can drive."
