Chapter 68: Not Fierce at All

Fu Sijue exhaled, "The Police Station called; they've already found the eyewitness from that day, proving Shen Shu is innocent, and asked me to go pick him up."

Gu Qingmeng's mood fell to the bottom of a valley again, dropping sharply like a roller‑coaster's sudden plunge.

"Why so fast?"

"The matter is serious, so the handling is more efficient. You go take a taxi back yourself; I'll go fetch Shen Shu."

With that concern settled, Fu Sijue's tone became much more relaxed.

"Alright, please give my regards to Assistant Shen." Gu Qingmeng forced out a bitter smile.

Gu Qingmeng sat in the car, her mind a tangled mess.

Shen Shu being released means the police will keep investigating, and she would be in danger!

The Fu Clan's official quickly issued a clarification, recounting the case in detail.

Lu Xiwán sat in the venue, watching the notification pop up on her phone.

She had long guessed this outcome.

But why would Shen Shu go to a place like Chengzhongcun?

Lu Xiwán gently rubbed her temples, unable to figure out this point.

Sitting beside Lu Xiwán, Luo Zhou noticed her movement and thoughtfully handed her a bottle of water.

"You had already thought of having Wang Yuan deal with Fu Sijue for you?"

Lu Xiwán shrugged helplessly, a smile at the corner of her mouth as she looked toward Wang Yuan on the stage, "Fu Sijue has already started suspecting; since he wants to know the truth, let him see."

After speaking, she raised her hand to check her watch; it was already late.

"Later, make sure to thank Wang Yuan properly for me; I'm going to the kindergarten to pick up the child."

Lu Xiwán stepped outside and saw Fu Sijue's car parked outside, raising an eyebrow toward the vehicle.

She had just seen Fu Sijue go out.

"Shouldn't Mr. Fu go pick up Assistant Shen?" Lu Xiwán opened the car door and walked in calmly.

Fu Sijue: "Someone from the company went to pick him up, so I can take you together to the kindergarten to fetch the child."

Lu Xiwán gave a slight nod, then turned her head to look out the window.

Outside the kindergarten, traffic was already a sea of cars, so jammed that vehicles couldn't get through.

Lu Xiwán grabbed her bag and opened the car door, "Mr. Fu, wait a moment; I'll go bring the child over."

Unexpectedly, Fu Sijue followed down as well, stepping up beside Lu Xiwán.

"I'll go with you."

Lu Xiwán couldn't read Fu Sijue's intention, silently walking forward with him.

Xi Xi saw their eyes light up, hopping and waving at them, while Yao Yao stood quietly beside her.

"Mommy, you finally came! I'm so hungry~" Lu Xixi clutched Lu Xiwán's hand and sweetly pouted.

Fu Sijue and Yao Yao were silent, a stark contrast to their lively style.

"Auntie should have finished the meal, so let's head back quickly." Lu Xiwán gently pinched Lu Xixi's little nose, lifted her head and met Fu Sijue's gaze.

Yao Yao pursed her lips, standing beside Fu Sijue, looking at Lu Xiwán helplessly.

Fu Sijue wore a stern face; no wonder the child was frightened, Lu Xiwán thought.

"Can I have a hamburger, please~" Lu Xixi shook Lu Xiwán's hand, her pink little mouth pursed, utterly cute.

Lu Xiwán shook her head helplessly, then turned to Fu Sijue, "Mr. Fu, can Yao Yao eat it?"

Fu Sijue nodded, "Then let's all go; having it once in a while is fine."

Before Lu Xiwán could speak, Lu Xixi ran over and grabbed Fu Yao's hand.

"See, I told you Uncle Fu isn't that scary!"

The words made Fu Sijue's heart throb slightly.

So Yao Yao was afraid of him?

Lu Xiwán watched the scene and couldn't help laughing, yet had to seriously explain to Fu Sijue.

"Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things…"

She looked as if fearing Fu Sijue would take his anger out on Lu Xixi.

Fu Sijue's eyes, deep and solemn, gazed at Lu Xiwán, "Am I very fierce?"

Lu Xiwán was speechless, not knowing how to respond.

Fu Sijue's sword‑like eyebrows and starry eyes were extremely handsome, his brow exuding a hint of aristocracy, his face sculpted with deep contours.

Yet his ink‑black eyes, as if tempered with ice, were chilling, making anyone who looked feel a shiver.

"Not fierce at all…" Lu Xiwán's eyes darted anxiously, evading Fu Sijue's gaze.
