But as soon as he touched her, he couldn't control himself.
He had only intended to give a peck, but once he was close, he couldn't pull away.
It was as if his body had its own reaction, and no matter how much his brain tried to control it, he was powerless.
Despite knowing this was wrong, he couldn't command his body to stop.
"Mmm—" Ming Yutong pushed against his shoulders with both hands.
Fu Yinxiu finally realized and, though reluctantly, let Ming Yutong go.
Ming Yutong wanted to slap him, but seeing the injury on his forehead, she clenched her fists and ultimately refrained from hitting him.
"Then I'll be going now," Fu Yinxiu said with a happy smile.
He was thrilled that Yutong had personally brought him to the company.
Ming Yutong hesitated and said, "In the future... don't use your phone while driving."
"Okay, don't worry. It won't happen again," Fu Yinxiu said with an even broader smile. "I won't talk on the phone while driving again."
Ming Yutong found it hard to resist Fu Yinxiu's smile and drove away.
Even after Ming Yutong's car was out of sight, Fu Yinxiu stood there, smiling foolishly.
This sight gave the employees at "Xiuqi" the chills.
What happened to the President!
What possessed him!
Fu Yinxiu, unaware of the shock he had caused his employees, continued to walk into the company with a smile still on his face.
He hummed a tune as he walked. The song was a familiar hit from years past, but no one could recall its name at the moment.
Mainly, everyone was stunned by Fu Yinxiu's unusual behavior.
What in the world was going on!
Ming Yutong remained unsettled, still tasting Fu Yinxiu's presence in her mouth.
She parked the car and felt her face burning.
She fanned her face vigorously, but the doubts about her past feelings that she had when talking to Fu Yinxiu were now gone.
When Ming Yutong realized this, she was stunned for a moment.
Then she got out of the car and returned to the company.
Jiang Lulian had been injured because of her, but she had just revealed the truth to him the night before. It wasn't quite the right time to meet him again.
Having said those things to Jiang Lulian, she felt like visiting him in the hospital might seem as if she had ulterior motives and wanted him to respond in some way.
So, Ming Yutong chose to avoid any appearance of favoritism.
However, she couldn't just pretend she didn't know anything and do nothing.
Thus, she asked Ming Yuqian to visit Jiang Lulian in her stead.
Ming Yuqian shook his head helplessly, "Why do I always end up running errands like this, even though I'm your brother?"
"Will you help or not?" Ming Yutong looked at him eagerly.
"Of course I'll help," Ming Yuqian quickly replied. "Who told you to be my sister?"
After his visit, Ming Yuqian told Ming Yutong, "Jiang Lulian knows you didn't visit him, and he wanted you to not worry. He actually isn't seriously injured."
***
In the following days, Ming Yutong did not see Jiang Lulian again.
But Little Jingshi would come to find her every day, bringing the soup that Fu Yinxiu had personally made.
Sometimes it was in the morning before school, and sometimes it was at noon during lunch.
This routine had become a habit for Ming Yutong.
If she didn't receive the soup from Fu Yinxiu in a day, it felt like something was missing from that day.
This morning, Ming Yutong didn't see Little Jingshi. By noon, Alpha Guard 4 came, but still, there was no sign of Little Jingshi.
Ming Yutong took the thermos from Alpha Guard 4 and asked, "Where's Jingshi?"
"The young master has a fever. He suddenly vomited during lunch and was taken to the hospital. After being checked, he went home to rest," Alpha Guard 4 explained.
"That child, why didn't he tell me!" Ming Yutong was alarmed. "How is he now?"
"He got an injection at the hospital, and the doctor prescribed some medication. His fever has gone down, but he still feels a bit dizzy and unwell," Alpha Guard 4 continued.
"Aunt Huo is taking care of him at home," Alpha Guard 4 added.
Ming Yutong knew that Little Jingshi would be well cared for at home, but hearing that he was sick made it hard for her to be at ease.
Ming Yutong nodded, holding the thermos, and distractedly returned to her office.
She thought about it and decided to tidy up and visit Langyuan to see Little Jingshi.
She had once vowed never to step into Langyuan, no matter what. She would never enter Fu Yinxiu's home. It was his private domain and her final boundary.
But now, she was about to break that vow.
She hoped that when she went there, Fu Yinxiu would not be at home.
She had forgotten to ask Alpha Guard 4 about this earlier, but considering how busy Fu Yinxiu was, it was unlikely he would be home at this time.
Just as she was heading out, she received a video call request from Little Jingshi.
Ming Yutong answered immediately, "Jingshi, you have a fever?"
On the screen, Little Jingshi was lying on the bed, resting his head on a soft pillow, covered with a fluffy blanket.
His little face still had an abnormal flush.
"Yeah." Little Jingshi nodded obediently. "I was planning to bring you the soup, but I couldn't make it. I didn't want you to worry."
"You're sick and didn't tell me? Of course, I'm worried," Ming Yutong said as she walked. "How are you feeling now?"
"My head is still a bit dizzy, but much better than before. Aunt Huo is making me some mixed fruit soup in the kitchen. Once I take the medicine, I can have it," Little Jingshi licked his lips.
"How did you get a fever?" Ming Yutong asked.
Little Jingshi pouted, feeling embarrassed. "I played too hard and then caught a cold. That's how I got sick."
