Chapter 127: The Place Without You

Again…

Lu Xiwán let out a silent sigh, looked at Zhong Yun, and said, "Senior Brother, isn't it still uncertain whether Yao Yao has recovered her memory?"

"Why do you keep mentioning that I should leave?"

"Why am I so eager for you to leave? Isn't that clear to you?"

Zhong Yun saw that she was still unwilling to give up, and his complexion darkened a few shades.

Earlier, when he urged her to leave, she said Yao Yao treated her as her biological mother, so she couldn't go until the illness was cured.

Now Yao Yao's condition has stabilized—she can eat and speak without issue, and she knows she isn't her biological mother—so why doesn't she leave?

"Wanwan, you haven't developed feelings for that sanctimonious scumbag Fu Sijue, have you?"

"Staying at the Fu Family, saying it's for Yao Yao, but really you can't bear to part with them?"

Zhong Yun thought more about it and began to think that possibility was plausible.

The unease in his heart rose, and he no longer tolerated Lu Xiwán's hesitation; he grabbed her wrist and, without a word, pulled her out.

"I don't care why you're doing this."

"Now, immediately, take Xi Xi, pack your things, and leave the Fu Family."

"If you're uneasy about Yao Yao's condition, I'll stay at the Fu Family for you and report Yao Yao's situation to you daily."

Lu Xiwán staggered from his yank.

Before she could react, she was already pulled out the room door.

"Senior Brother, don't be hasty, listen to me…"

"Whatever you say, you must leave today!"

Lu Xiwán helplessly said, "Senior Brother, lower your voice a bit, Fu Sijue is back."

At the mention of Fu Sijue, Zhong Yun's face darkened further, "Today the Almighty has arrived, you must leave too!"

Just then, the main door swung open, and Fu Sijue walked in steadily.

"Where are you taking her?"

Zhong Yun halted his steps, "Your son's condition has stabilized; the subsequent treatment is more than enough for me to handle."

"She has more important matters to attend to."

Fu Sijue gave him a cold stare, then glanced at Lu Xiwán, "Miss Xi, do you also think Yao Yao's condition has stabilized?"

Lu Xiwán: "……"

She remained silent, and Fu Sijue took that as tacit consent.

Suppressing the barely perceptible reluctance in his heart, he said calmly, "Miss Xi, since you want to leave, I won't force you to stay."

"However, today doesn't seem appropriate."

Finishing his sentence, Fu Sijue pulled four tickets from his coat.

On closer inspection, he saw the words "Science and Technology Museum" boldly printed on them.

It was the exhibition Yao Yao had wanted to see before…

Fu Sijue noticed the change in Lu Xiwán's expression, a faint smile curling his lips, "Yao Yao has wanted to see this exhibition for a long time."

"Since Miss Xi is leaving, why not accompany Yao Yao to see the exhibition one last time?"

"Consider it a farewell to Yao Yao."

"Alright."

Lu Xiwán instinctively replied, drawing Zhong Yun's angry glare; she couldn't help but shrink her neck and said weakly, "Senior Brother, even if we're leaving, we should explain things clearly to Yao Yao."

"He is sensitive and reserved in temperament."

"If I leave without a word, the harm to him will be greater."

At this point, Zhong Yun had nothing more to say.

On the other side, Fu Sijue, seeing this, unfolded the tickets and laughed, "This exhibition required reservation; when I bought the tickets, I didn't know Miss Xi had a Senior Brother."

"So there are only four tickets."

"You won't mind, will you?"

"Any excuse about not having enough tickets is just a pretext; looking at his smug expression, it's clearly deliberate."

Snort, childish!

Zhong Yun shot him an irritated glance and said in a deep voice, "President Fu, you're overthinking it; I have a patient appointment this afternoon, I'll leave first."

Having said that, Zhong Yun walked away without looking back.

Xi Xi, who had been hiding in the Living Room corner listening to the three, grabbed Yao Yao and bounded out, cheering.
