Chapter 49

By the time Li Yurong and Song Feier reached the living room, Song Zhiguo was already receiving Fu Yanchen.

Fu Yanchen sat there expressionless. Beside him was a man with a somewhat roguish look. He was the young master of the Su Family, Su Sizhe, and Fu Yanchen’s close friend.

The Su Family was also a top-tier wealthy family in Yuncheng. Although they couldn’t compare to the Fu Family, they were still a household that people looked up to.

Su Sizhe looked at Fu Yanchen with a faint, mocking smile in his dark eyes. He didn’t know why this flashy man had dragged him to the Song family. Could it be to see the woman who had set him up seven years ago? It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen her before. To be honest, she wasn’t his type at all.

He also didn’t understand what Fu Yanchen saw in her, even taking her into the Fu Family. But seeing as Fu Yanchen hadn’t married her in seven years, it was clear he was only taking responsibility for the royal seed he had left behind.

Song Zhiguo looked at Su Sizhe and Fu Yanchen, asking politely, “Yanchen, is there a reason you and Young Master Su are here today?”

Fu Yanchen’s eyes were deep and inscrutable.

If he said he had opened the tracking system Song Wanxing gave him, found that Song Yunnian was at the Song family, and was worried something had happened to her-would that be reason enough?

Fu Yanchen naturally wouldn’t say that.

He said coldly, “I brought Young Master Su over for a visit to introduce him.”

Song Zhiguo was stunned for a moment, then he laughed happily. “Good, good. Since Young Master Su has come as a guest, I will naturally host him well.”

Su Sizhe narrowed his eyes. Bringing him here to introduce him to Song Zhiguo? Had Fu Yanchen been kicked in the head by a donkey? Although he sensed Fu Yanchen had ulterior motives, Su Sizhe didn’t expose him, maintaining a polite but distant smile.

“Hello, Mr. Song.”

“Young Master Su, I’m Yanchen’s father-in-law. No need to be so formal with me. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future.”

Amidst the pleasantries, Song Feier and Li Yurong arrived.

Song Feier sat down beside Yanchen and said in a sweet voice, “Yanchen, are you here to see me?”

Fu Yanchen’s eyes were as cold as a frozen pond. He gave her a faint glance but didn’t speak.

Song Feier assumed Fu Yanchen was indeed there for her, and her lips curled up in delight. She knew Fu Yanchen wouldn’t stay mad at her. But he shouldn’t think she would let Song Yunnian off the hook because of this; she would clear away every obstacle.

Song Zhiguo spoke up, “Feier, go brew some tea for Young Master Su and Yanchen.”

“Okay, I’ll go right now,” Song Feier said happily as she walked away.

Fu Yanchen discreetly took out his phone and checked the location. It showed that Song Yunnian was still here, but he didn’t see her anywhere. Was she locked up?

His eyes flickered as he stood up. “I’m going to the restroom.”

Following the location, Fu Yanchen arrived at the basement. The door was locked tight, but Fu Yanchen made quick work of it. Once inside, he immediately saw Song Yunnian collapsed on the floor.

Fu Yanchen’s expression changed slightly. She really was here.

Song Yunnian had thought that after being drugged, Li Yurong and Song Feier would do something to her immediately, but she had waited a long time without seeing them. She hadn’t expected the one to show up would be Fu Yanchen.

She looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion, “Why are you here?”

“Are you all right?” Fu Yanchen’s voice was deep, yet it strangely made Song Yunnian feel at ease.

There was still moisture at the corners of Song Yunnian’s eyes. She looked somewhat helpless and desperate; she had clearly endured significant psychological torment before he arrived. A thought occurred to her, and she understood immediately. Fu Yanchen had come, so Song Feier had abandoned her.

Fu Yanchen stepped forward and dominantly swept her up into his arms, carrying her toward the exit.

Song Yunnian grew anxious and hurriedly said, “Wait.”

She turned to look at Auntie Yu, then finally sighed. “Let’s go.”

Li Yurong still needed to use Auntie Yu to threaten her, so they wouldn’t hurt her for now. She would come back for Auntie Yu once she was prepared. Song Yunnian truly had no strength left. She could only let Fu Yanchen carry her out, forced to rely on him. Leaning against Fu Yanchen’s chest, she felt an immense sense of peace.
