Chapter 238: Not Many Girls Can Eat

Fu Xiuyuan’s room was very clean and tidy. The entire room was black and white.

The large French window faced the backyard of the manor.

Nian Yue sat opposite him and looked up to ask, “When did you wake up?”

She reckoned that Fu Xiuyuan had only woken up when she arrived.

“Five minutes ago.”

Fu Xiuyuan rubbed his temples. The place where he had been injured yesterday had already recovered to its original state. There wasn’t even a scar.

It was impossible to tell that it had been seriously injured.

“Did you know that Mo Yi would appear yesterday?” Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

“Yeah.”

Fu Xiuyuan nodded and stood opposite her slowly.

Warm yellow sunlight shone down, giving him a faint yellow glow.

“He appears every year at this time.”

Fu Xiuyuan’s lips twitched, and his deep eyes were as deep as ever.

The Mitchell family and F had arms deals every year, so it was inevitable that someone would want to reap benefits.

It was just that the transaction amount this year was too huge, attracting some people out in advance.

“Are you close to him?”

Nian Yue raised her eyebrows.

Mo Yi was elusive, as if he could appear anywhere he wanted to go.

“Old friend.” Fu Xiuyuan rubbed his temples.

“You rest first, I’ll go back.”

Nian Yue stood up from her seat. She had come today to check on Fu Xiuyuan.

“Cough, cough…”

Fu Xiuyuan’s face was pale as he coughed softly.

His jade-like face looked pale.

Nian Yue walked over and checked his pulse. “Rest first…”

“Stay with me…” Fu Xiuyuan looked up at her.

His eyes were deep but extremely bright.

Her reflection was the only thing in his dark eyes.

“Okay.” Nian Yue finally nodded and sat on his bed. She casually took a book and started reading.

The man on the bed had already closed his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a long shadow on his face.

His jade-like face looked even paler.

The air was so quiet that only the sound of pages flipping could be heard.

However, the flipping of the pages became slower and slower until there was no sound.

The man lying on the bed woke up slowly. His eyes were clear and he did not look like he had just woken up at all.

Nian Yue was still holding onto her book. Her back was straight, but her eyes were tightly shut.

If he hadn’t seen her with her eyes closed, he would have thought that she was reading.

Fu Xiuyuan sighed. After a long while, he took the book from her hand and carried her to the bed.

Nian Yue had not rested for too long. In addition, she had used a large amount of her wood-elemental power yesterday, causing her energy to be depleted.

Now that the environment had quietened down, she subconsciously closed her eyes.

The environment here was very relaxing and she did not need to feel tensed up anymore.

There was a dark bruise under her eyes, and her frown finally relaxed.

Fu Xiuyuan covered her with the blanket and was about to leave when he felt someone pulling on his clothes.

“You should rest too.” Nian Yue’s eyes were a little blurry.

Then, she closed her eyes again.

Subconsciously, Fu Xiuyuan was her friend, so it felt normal for them to sleep together peacefully.

Besides, this man would not do anything to her.

This was what she subconsciously thought.

Fu Xiuyuan’s lips curled up and the coldness in his eyes lessened.

Finally, he bent down and kissed her forehead.

If he hadn’t forced her to stay, she probably wouldn’t even have rested.

Why was such an unruly girl so stubborn once she decided on something?

“Regiment commander…”

In another black room in Continent W.

A devilish man was leaning against the leather seat. His handsome face was a little dark and his light blue eyes were unfathomable.

“Have you decided on the time and place?” Mo Yi looked up. His face was lifeless.

He couldn’t even be bothered to look at the person in front of him.

“It’s settled…”

The shadow quickly reported the time and place. “The cooperation this time is very big. F will send the item to Sel Lake in advance. The Mitchell family will go over and receive it. There should be a negotiation there…”

Even though the trading location would be changed every year, the powerful intelligence network of the mercenary group had its ways.

In a short time, he had found out what he wanted.

“Got it.” Mo Yi didn’t even look up. “Get down.”

His slender and fair fingers were still holding a silver fountain pen as he spun it around, but his eyes were unfocused.

“So when do we take action?”

The shadow braced himself and asked.

Even though he knew that Mo Yi was in a bad mood at this moment.

“There’s no hurry.” Mo Yi raised his eyelids. “Leave.”

He looked displeased. The shadow did not dare to stay any longer and retreated.

Mo Yi played with the small silver fountain pen in his hand. After a long time, he muttered, “Yue…”

On his right shoulder, his white shirt was already bright red from the blood.

When Nian Yue woke up again, it was almost evening.

She was still covered with the blanket. In a daze, she seemed to have smelled the unique cold fragrance on Fu Xiuyuan.

Nian Yue rubbed her brows and sat up in bed.

Seeing the furnishings in the room, she then remembered that this was Fu Xiuyuan’s room.

However…

She was clearly reading before she went to bed.

So it was Fu Xiuyuan who moved her onto the bed?

A hint of doubt flashed past Nian Yue’s eyes.

It looked like she was becoming less and less guarded against Fu Xiuyuan.

She could actually fall asleep sitting.

Nian Yue got down from the bed and walked out.

At this moment, the second floor was silent.

In the living room, Fu Xiuyuan was instructing Fu Sheng about something.

The dining table was already filled with food and it was still steaming. It looked like it had just been served.

“You’re awake?”

Seeing her come down, Fu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows.

He was wearing a white shirt, with two buttons undone, revealing his exquisite collarbone.

Fu Sheng saw her coming down and stood up to leave.

He walked to her side and greeted her respectfully.

“Miss Nian.” He was always gentle and polite to Nian Yue.

Nian Yue greeted him and sat beside Fu Xiuyuan. She ate with Fu Xiuyuan.

The food on the table was all her favorite. This time, Nian Yue ate three bowls of rice which barely filled her stomach.

Seeing that her bowl was empty, the servant wanted to add another bowl for her, but she was stopped.

“No, thank you.”

The servant at the side could not help but look at her a few more times.

She was clearly a young lady with a huge appetite.

There were not many young girls who could eat these days.

How could she have known that Nian Yue ate based on her mood? After all, all the food was just for her stomach and to provide energy for her body.

Besides, she did not care much about her image.

This face was good-looking to begin with. She would still be attractive without making any effort.
