Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth-Chapter 996

Su Yao was shocked to hear Su Wanxin say such things.

Taking advantage of her brain freeze, Su Wanxin asked, "Has the engagement date been set?"

"I think it has."

"Mom arranged it?"

"Yeah."

Su Wanxin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, deciding to call Qi Ran when she got home that evening.

She took Su Yao downstairs, and the first thing she said to Lu Ci was, "Yaoyao just took me to check out your room."

As soon as she finished, before Su Yao could go crazy, she quickly dashed behind Fu Shihan to hide.

"Slow down." Fu Shihan turned slightly to look behind him and asked softly, "Do you want to go upstairs for a nap? I’ll call you when it’s time to go."

"When are we leaving?"

"Not sure yet. Jing Fan is in the study having a meeting; we’ll see when he’s done." Fu Shihan glanced at his watch and said, "Take Yangyang for a nap."

"Okay."

Su Wanxin nodded and took Yangyang upstairs. Su Yao was going to follow, but Lu Ci pulled her back.

"Why did you go to my room?" Lu Ci looked down at her, asking with a half-smile.

"...Don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s tricking you."

Fu Shihan walked past them and calmly said, "My wife never lies."

"Are you blinded by her beauty?!"

Su Yao asked in disbelief, only to be steered back to the original topic by Lu Ci.

Frustrated and annoyed, she retorted, "I like to go, so what? I just went! I’ll go again if I want to!"

She just wanted to see what his room looked like, to know what kind of environment he lived in before. Is that not allowed?

"Then go look in the room; there should be a gift I bought for you earlier." Lu Ci said with a light smile, "I can’t quite remember if it’s in the bedroom. If not, check the cloakroom."

"A gift for me? What is it? I’m going to look!"

Without waiting for Lu Ci’s answer, Su Yao eagerly went off.

Lu Ci watched her go upstairs with a smile, then went about his own business.

On the balcony, by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Fu Shiyi, having just been pulled into gossip about Fu Shihan’s affairs, was feeling parched and turned to grab a drink, only to find Fu Shihan blocking his way.

Facing Fu Shihan’s gaze, Fu Shiyi inexplicably felt guilty, unsure why he was seeking her out.

"Wanwan?" Fu Shiyi’s eyes searched around, looking for some support.

"She went upstairs to sleep. Can I ask you something?"

"...Go ahead." Fu Shiyi swallowed nervously, wondering if he was upset about her spilling the beans on his past with Su Wanxin and had come to settle scores?

"How’s work going lately?"

"Huh???"

Fu Shiyi was stunned. Fu Shihan rarely inquired about her work; he never cared about things involving the entertainment company.

"It’s... it’s okay. Why do you ask?"

Fu Shiyi asked, puzzled.

"A reality show like last time; are you not planning to do another one?"

Fu Shihan asked abruptly, and this time Fu Shiyi had to think for a while before recalling what he was talking about.

A reality show... like the cohabitation show that had tricked Sheng Qian and Su Wanxin last time?

Why was he asking about that out of the blue?

Fu Shiyi had a bad feeling and answered, "No, regulations on reality shows are pretty strict now. The company doesn’t plan to do such shows this year."
