Chapter 23: Please Forgive Me
Dr. Ye finished eating, and Fu Xingzhou had already changed his clothes, in a white shirt and trousers of exquisite material. His suit jacket hung on his elbow, his figure tall and straight.
A gentleman with clothes on, a wild beast without.
This line flitted through Dr. Ye's mind when she saw him.
"I need to make a trip inland," Fu Xingzhou lifted her chin, his lips pressing and grinding against her soft, reddish lips, tender and focused, evoking the reluctance of a couple's farewell, "I have to find Ah Si."
Dr. Ye had heard that Fu Xingzhou's business inland was also doing very well, but he rarely went there himself, focusing mainly on Ao City Peninsula and the Central Western District of Hong Kong.
"How long will you be gone?" she blurted out, then startled at her own question.
In the past, she never inquired about such matters.
Fu Xingzhou's gaze was noble and liquid, seemingly transparent but unfathomably deep. When he looked at her like this, it made her feel even more nervous.
Despite not having done anything guilty, she instinctively wanted to shy away.
"About half a month," after a brief silence, Fu Xingzhou pinched her cheek, "I'll take you to the hospital first."
Dr. Ye got out of the car by a park some distance away from the hospital.
