Fu Yanshi stared at those three words, his eyes darkening, a complex feeling rising within him...

Just when I decided to give up, fate arranged for me to meet her again. What does this mean?

"President Fu? Do you still need me to conduct a thorough investigation into Assistant Xu's activities over the years?"

Secretary Lin asked the question very cautiously.

He couldn't guess what the president was thinking, nor did he dare to, because Assistant Xu was the president's Achilles' heel.

"No need." Fu Yanshi paused for a few seconds, then added, "No need for now."

He needs to think clearly about what he should do and what he really wants.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanshi poured himself a glass of red wine, then strode over to the floor-to-ceiling window of his hotel room.

This small town is very quiet after nightfall, which is in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of big cities.

Fu Yanshi tugged at his thin lips and took a sip of the red wine in his hand.

A sour and astringent taste immediately filled my mouth and continued to spread down my throat...

The breeze coming through the window brought him a little clarity.

Reason told him that since he had already made up his mind to give up on Xu Qinghuan, he shouldn't change his mind so easily! Meeting Xu Qinghuan again was a test from God of his resolve.

That's right, that's it.

Fu Yanshi felt the wind wasn't strong enough and that he wasn't fully awake.

He simply put down his wine glass, grabbed a piece of clothing, and walked out of the room.

When he arrived at the hotel, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and the trees on both sides of the road were too tall to provide much shade, so the wind was quite strong at night, blowing in his face as if it could bring him some answer.

Fu Yanshi stood straight on the road in front of the hotel, his tall figure looking somewhat lonely, the hem of his clothes fluttering in the wind as if trying to break free from its constraints.

Suddenly——

There was a sound of footsteps.

Fu Yanshi subconsciously looked towards the sound.

It's that little kid whose eyes look a lot like Xu Qinghuan's!

She was wearing a blue tulle dress and was also staying at the Weimeng Hotel.

But... what is she doing out alone so late?

Fu Yanshi paused for a moment, but couldn't help walking towards her. He stopped in front of her and squatted down, asking, "Little friend, where are your mom and dad?"

Tuantuan was clearly surprised that someone would stop her and was taken aback!

She quickly stretched out her chubby little hand, signaling to Fu Yanshi not to speak.

"I don't have a daddy. My mommy is working and she's very busy, so she can't play with me. I'm playing by myself for a while! Uncle, please don't tell my mommy."

I don't have a daddy.

This statement can easily be associated with some negative things.

Fu Yanshi slightly twitched his lips, and as if possessed, reached out to touch Tuantuan's head. "Okay, I won't say anything, but you can't leave the hotel, otherwise Mommy will worry if she can't find you."

Upon hearing this, Tuantuan immediately pouted, her big eyes blinking pitifully. "Oh? But I need to buy candy! Uncle, can I leave the hotel?"

As she spoke, she took out a five-yuan note and waved it a few times.

But before, Fu Jiajia gave Tuantuan money as a reward, saying that with this money she could buy candy, and Tuantuan has always remembered it!

Sure enough, after Aunt Jiajia fell asleep and Mommy was still busy working, she secretly took the money and ran downstairs!

But this strange uncle wouldn't let me leave the hotel...

How can that work!

Fu Yanshi was amused by her words.

He's just a kid; he can't even speak coherently and doesn't organize his thoughts properly!

But she's really cute.

Even Fu Yanshi couldn't resist the aggrieved look in her dark eyes.

"Okay, I'll take you back to the hotel room to ask your mommy. If she agrees, I can take you to buy candy."
