Chapter 258: Jealousy Makes Him Unrecognizable

Lu Xiwán's words clearly pricked Yun Ruojin's pride.

But Yun Ruojin had no way out; to avoid completely losing face, she had to grit her teeth in hatred and walk out.

When Yun Ruojin reached the doorway and tried to speak again, Lu Xiwán shut the door without hesitation, and with a bang it nearly struck her pen tip.

Xi Xi lunged forward, hugging Lu Xiwán, and said, "Mommy is really amazing!"

The days of rushing about gave Lu Xiwán a headache, and after dealing with Yun Ruojin her legs felt weak.

She helplessly patted Xi Xi's little head and said, "Xi Xi, go play over there for a while; Mommy needs a rest."

Xi Xi looked up, saw Lu Xiwán's pallid face, obediently let go, and stood aside.

Fu Sijue, with Yao Yao, didn't dare to delay; after discovering that Lu Xiwán's destination was Seattle, he booked the earliest flight to rush over.

When they landed, Shen Shu had already sent the address of the hotel where Lu Xiwán was staying.

Yao Yao, after all, was still young; after a day‑long flight without much food, their complexion looked terrible.

"Let's rest at the airport for a while."

Yao Yao grasped Fu Sijue's hand, shook their head slightly, and said, "Let's go find Mom right now."

They didn't want to waste a moment; they just wanted to see Mom immediately.

Fu Sijue couldn't refuse the child; as soon as they left the airport they met the person Shen Shu had arranged in advance to pick them up.

But evidently the arrival staff hadn't expected Fu Sijue to bring a child.

"President Fu, should we go to the office now or …"

Shen Shu was vague; he received Fu Sijue, so he subconsciously assumed Fu Sijue's trip was a last‑minute business assignment.

Fu Sijue raised his hand and said, "The destination should have been sent to your phone by Shen Shu."

"Did you send it to the wrong place? I recall, President Fu, you also have a residence in Seattle …"

His successive questions irritated Fu Sijue a bit, but fortunately he said nothing.

"Then go there."

Perhaps because he was too excited on the plane, Yao Yao fell asleep on the car, their little head resting on Fu Sijue's shoulder—a rare moment of relaxation.

The thought of soon seeing Lu Xiwán made Fu Sijue's heart flutter slightly.

All he needed was to explain everything clearly.

But reality was clearly not as smooth as imagined; the hotel where Lu Xiwán was staying was fully booked, and even if Fu Sijue paid a hefty sum, there were no vacant rooms.

The secretary who brought them clearly grew anxious, trying hard to communicate with Fu Sijue, but as soon as she met his gaze she was defeated.

The secretary went back and forth with the hotel front desk for half a day, yet still couldn't reach an agreement.

Coincidentally, someone checked out then, and the secretary finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away a cold sweat.

He had just joined the Fu Clan's Seattle branch, and this was his first time meeting their real BOSS.

Sure enough, as others said, the aura was powerful and unapproachable.

Although Shen Shu could locate the hotel where Lu Xiwán stayed, he might not know which floor she was on.

Even if they had to acquire the hotel on short notice, it would still require preparation, leaving Fu Sijue at a loss.

They couldn't knock on each door one by one; that method was too inefficient, and by the time they found out, Lu Xiwán might have already left.

Now even Yao Yao hung his head in dejection; the two stared at each other, unable to think of a solution for ages.

"Let's go out and have a look first."

Before negotiating with the hotel shareholders, their best option was to go out and try their luck—what if they ran into Lu Xiwán?
