Chapter 593: The Young Master Can Hear Inner Voices Again! 09

Fei Yao thought he was about to break face, was just looking for an excuse to smooth things over, when he saw Aunt Song come out of the elevator looking flustered.

Mr. Jin, the Young Master said he won't eat unless he sees you.

She still held the fruit tray, her face still showing an unrelieved surprise.

Five minutes earlier.

Aunt Song thought they wouldn't finish talking anytime soon, so she listened to Jin Chen and first took the fruit tray up to the Young Master.

Just as usual, she was about to put the fruit tray on the shelf when she saw Fu Mu Ci almost impatiently open the door.

Young Master, is there something you need?

Seeing Fu Mu Ci anxious and silent, she broke into a sweat.

Aunt Song thought there was an urgent matter, and was worrying, when she heard Fu Mu Ci speak for the first time.

... Jin?

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Fu Mu Ci still couldn't utter a complete sentence when facing others.

But fortunately, Aunt Song had worked at the Fu residence for many years and could roughly understand his meaning.

You want to find Mr. Jin?

Mm!

He said he'd bring himself a cake today, the liar.

The slim youth frowned tightly, eyes fixed on the fruit tray.

All right, all right, he's discussing things downstairs; I'll go call him now.

Hearing Fu Mu Ci's voice, Aunt Song was both surprised and moved; she didn't have time to put down the fruit tray and turned toward the elevator.

What?! Mu Ci spoke!

Xu Li's eyes instantly reddened; she regretted not going up herself just now.

She could barely remember how long it had been since her son last spoke to her.

Fu Zhenhua's gaze, like a torch, turned to Jin Chen: 'Doctor Jin, thank you for the trouble!'

Jin Chen had only been here a few days, yet he had such a noticeable effect— they never expected it!

Fei Yao and Ren Jia Ming exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in the other's eyes.

If Jin Chen's ability is really this good, then their plan…

Fei Yao's eyes shifted slightly; he advised, 'Aunt Xu, let's go up and take a look.'

Xu Li also now wanted to see her son; she didn't hesitate, and so the five of them went up together.

Jin Chen took the fruit tray, walked in front, his steps somewhat hurried.

The corridor was empty, only the study door stood open, as if waiting for someone on purpose.

A hint of a smile appeared in Jin Chen's slightly anxious eyes as he walked straight into the study.

Young Master.

Fu Mu Ci by the desk instantly turned his head, his clear, glass-like eyes full of accusation.

He glanced at Jin Chen, then at the wall clock, as if blaming Jin Chen for being late today.

This made Fu Mu Ci, who is very strict about time, quite unhappy.

Before Jin Chen could speak, the Fu parents and the two protagonists also followed into the room.

Suddenly seeing so many people, Fu Mu Ci's face changed instantly; his earlier lively expression turned stiff and gloomy, and he began to feel ill at ease.

Mu Ci, long time no see!

Fei Yao stepped forward first, even crossing the safe distance, patting Fu Mu Ci's shoulder like a brother: 'Have you missed me?'

His smile was lively and warm.

Fu Mu Ci's discomfort gradually faded, and he laughed along, not rejecting Fei Yao's touch at all.

This is also why the Fu parents can accept Fei Yao as his good friend.

Fu Mu Ci focused on Fei Yao, seemingly forgetting Jin Chen's existence for a moment.

Jin Chen swallowed the soothing words he had prepared; his calm, gentle expression turned displeased, his eyelids drooping slightly.

0731 silently thought, if the host also had a blackening value, it would surely be screeching upward.

【Host! Rush up and drive away the male lead!】

For the certain system that loves drama, Jin Chen's annoyed expression was mixed with helplessness.

Watching this, Ren Jia Ming suddenly felt that Fu Mu Ci hadn't changed at all, still as easily manipulated as ever.

Just as he finished that thought, he saw Fu Mu Ci suddenly give him a cold stare, brows tightly furrowed, scanning everyone.

As if counting heads.

Five people, exactly five people.

【Aunt Song didn't say Mu Ci would speak? Why is he still like this…】 Xu Li secretly worried.

【That psychologist named Ren Jia Ming must still be strange; otherwise Mu Ci wouldn't reject him so.】 Fu Zhenhua was still thinking about what just happened.

【What's wrong with Fu Mu Ci? He changes expression just seeing me! I haven't even settled the score with him yet!】

Fu Mu Ci's expression grew uglier.

He covered his ears, the flush on his face fading instantly, and hid behind Fei Yao.

So noisy… Everyone is so noisy!

At this moment, the only one whose thoughts he couldn't hear was Fei Yao, which made Fu Mu Ci feel especially normal.

Creak—creak.

His fist was clenched by Jin Chen.

He now wished he could throw Fei Yao out.

What the heck is going on! Doctor Jin, come take a look!

Xu Li didn't know what was wrong, she was frantic, and only then noticed that Jin Chen, who had come in first, had been pushed to the back by them; she hurriedly called for someone to come forward.

Ren Jia Ming had wanted to go over, but as soon as he took a step, Fu Mu Ci's reaction grew stronger, as if he felt he had once done something to hurt him.

But damn it, the person whose arm was mysteriously injured is me!

Fu Mu Ci began to tremble uncontrollably, not even hiding behind Fei Yao, and curled up in the corner of the desk.

Fei Yao still wanted to go over, but Fu Mu Ci's refusal became even more obvious.

Jin Chen hurried over, grabbing Fu Mu Ci's arm that was covering his ears.

"Young master, it's me."

A gentle, low voice sounded in Fu Mu Ci's ear; he half-knelt on the ground, levelly gazing at the youth whose eyes were shrunken, as if filled with infinite patience and tenderness.

With a fingertip, he gently wiped the sweat from Fu Mu Ci's forehead, lightly patting his back.

"I also brought cake today, made early this morning; if you don't eat it, it'll melt."

Cake...

Perhaps regaining a bit of composure, Fu Mu Ci lifted his gaze to stare intently at Jin Chen; feeling his gentleness and tolerance, his nose inexplicably soured.

He reached out and clenched Jin Chen's cuff, his voice trembling: "Eat… them, go."

"Okay, okay, let them go first."

Jin Chen turned sideways, shielding the youth in the corner behind him; when facing Fei Yao, his tone lost its gentleness.

"Mr. Fei, I think the young master isn't suited to be around so many people right now."

Fei Yao was startled by that scene, feeling a bit panicked and at a loss.

He still wanted to step forward to speak with Fu Mu Ci, but saw the youth's body tremble again, shrinking straight back behind Jin Chen.

"Alright, alright, we'll go down right away."

As it turned out, Xu Li was the first to react; although she still felt a bit heartbroken, she couldn't bear to see her son suffer like this.

"You two, come down as well."

Fu Zhenhua's tone toward them was no longer as polite as before.

Finally, only two people remained in the room.

Jin Chen no longer held back, pulling the person into a tight embrace, soothing them by rubbing their shoulder.

"No one else is here, young master, don't be sad anymore."
