Chapter 153: The Woman Who's Been Constantly Hooking President Fu

Lu Xiwán awkwardly pulled away Fu Sijue's hand and said, "I came to bring you an umbrella."

Fu Sijue, expressionless, walked to the lounge, took out a clean towel, and handed it to Lu Xiwán.

"First, wipe your hair; you'll catch a cold if you wait."

Lu Xiwán refused to take it and dodged his hand.

"I'll go back right now."

Fu Sijue said nothing, pulled her onto the sofa, and, reaching out, patiently began to wipe her hair.

"I already told the other party that it's raining, so the event has been moved indoors."

Fu Sijue's fingers unintentionally brushed Lu Xiwán's cheek, causing a ticklish sensation.

Lu Xiwán felt a slight warmth at the base of her ear where he had brushed.

She awkwardly avoided his hand.

"I'll do it myself..."

"Don't move; it'll be done in a moment." Fu Sijue's voice was low, gently tugging at Lu Xiwán's heartstrings.

"Why did you suddenly think of bringing me an umbrella?" Fu Sijue carefully positioned her head and gently massaged her hair.

Lu Xiwán glanced at the gray sky outside.

"Aunt said you didn't bring an umbrella, so I drove over to deliver one. If I'd known you weren't attending the event, I wouldn't have come..."

She thought carefully about Shen Shu's ambiguous look just now.

Lu Xiwán wished she could slip into a crack in the ground.

He must have misunderstood.

"Well, it's fortunate you still brought me an umbrella. This afternoon's event requires someone to accompany me, and you're just the right person."

Fu Sijue made the decision on his own without asking Lu Xiwán for her opinion.

Lu Xiwán's hair stood on end; as she turned her head, Fu Sijue grabbed her hair, and with a hiss she twisted back.

"Can't Shen Shu go with you?"

Fu Sijue: "I need a female companion."

"There are so many female secretaries outside, all tall and beautiful. Why does it have to be me?"

Lu Xiwán didn't even realize anything was wrong with what she said; only after speaking did she sense a possible ambiguity.

Fu Sijue patiently massaged her hair, unaware of Lu Xiwán's abnormal reaction.

"Those outside are busy with other matters; you're free, and you're prettier than they are."

The last sentence really came out without a beginning or end, utterly baffling.

Lu Xiwán's body suddenly went rigid.

"Is the outfit I'm wearing now acceptable?"

For Fu Sijue, that wasn't a difficulty at all; after drying her hair, he casually made a phone call, and Shen Shu pushed the door open and entered.

"Go prepare an outfit for Miss Xi; she'll attend this afternoon's event with me."

Shen Shu wasn't surprised by this; he nodded in agreement and left immediately.

A short while later, a row of neatly stacked clothes was delivered in front of Lu Xiwán for her to choose from.

Lu Xiwán casually picked the simplest set.

It happened to coordinate with Fu Sijue's attire for today.

A faint smile flickered unnoticed in Fu Sijue's eyes as he observed her in high spirits.

It was called an event, but in reality it was just a networking among several friendly conglomerates.

The attendees were all prominent figures, and some currently popular female celebrities were invited to accompany them.

Their eyes were glued to Fu Sijue, and Lu Xiwán was unintentionally caught in the crossfire.

Yun Ruojin was also on the guest list, representing the Yun family.

She had hoped to use this chance to get close to Fu Sijue, but never expected that Fu Sijue was bringing Lu Xiwán along.

Her complexion turned sour instantly, and the fingers gripping her wine glass turned slightly pale.

"Is she the woman who's been constantly flirting with President Fu?"
