Having received his permission, Chi Gui replied to Xu Wen and asked him to deliver the documents to the Fu Family.
Although a race car enthusiast, Fu Si was known for speeding, so the forty-minute trip only took him twenty minutes to arrive.
Old Sir Fu had already been waiting in the living room. Upon seeing Chi Gui, he greeted her with a smile and a couple of words of banter before pointing to his head and said, "Miss Chi, this old problem of mine is acting up again. Could you press on it for me? No one else has your touch!"
Old Sir Fu had worked too hard in his early years, which led to chronic headaches.
Back when Chi Gui was in Capital City, he especially liked having Chi Gui massage his head.
Chi Gui had a very unique technique, and after each session, it could bring him comfort for a long time. However, professional masseurs in the household could not achieve the same effect as Chi Gui.
This was also one of the reasons why Old Sir Fu particularly liked calling Chi Gui to his home.
Chi Gui smiled, "Alright. Shall we go to your study?"
"Yes," Old Sir Fu said as he stood up and led the way to his study. "Your master sent over a box of the newest calming incense he developed a while ago; it’s quite useful."
"He’s taking over other people’s jobs again," Chi Gui said helplessly.
In his life, Academician Wu had married medicine, so although his main focus was on neurosurgery, he relaxed by researching other medical fields.
And every time, he managed to produce a decent result, which led the Expert Group to jokingly call him "the job-stealing expert."
Old Sir Fu laughed heartily as he pushed open the door to the study.
As the door swung open, a gentle and calming fragrance instantly wafted out.
Upon smelling the incense, Old Sir Fu visibly relaxed and lay down on the recliner.
Behind the recliner, a stool was already prepared. Chi Gui sat on it, and just as her hands touched Old Sir Fu’s head, Fu Si entered the room, neither hurrying nor dawdling.
Chi Gui and Old Sir Fu looked up at him simultaneously.
Fu Si, under both their gazes, naturally took a seat on the sofa nearby, poured himself some tea, and said nonchalantly, "You keep doing what you’re doing; I’m just here to rest. Don’t mind me."
Old Sir Fu snorted coldly but said nothing.
Chi Gui lower her gaze, her hands on Old Sir Fu’s head, massaging with just the right pressure.

Xiang Nuan, carrying documents that needed to be signed, walked into the grand hall of the Fu home under the butler’s guidance, treading carefully.
"Please wait here," said the butler, who always treated the people from Chi Gui Research Institute with respect, "Professor Chi and Old Sir Fu are still busy with some matters."
"Of course, of course!" Xiang Nuan quickly nodded and then sat on the sofa with restraint.
A servant came over and offered her a glass of juice. Xiang Nuan thanked them but dared not drink it.
No wonder she was so nervous.
This was the Fu family, after all!
The very household that could cause tremors across Huaxia and certain overseas nations with a mere stomp of the foot by the Capital City’s overlord!
Xiang Nuan was just a normal student who had graduated from Huaxia University, and had managed to join Chi Gui’s research institute purely through her own talent and hard work.
It was her first visit to such an illustrious household, and she thought she was doing quite well just to be able to speak!
As Xiang Nuan waited nervously, Fu Chengzhou’s family also arrived.
As soon as Jinxiu and Xia Jinjin entered, they saw Xiang Nuan seated on the sofa.
Jinxiu gave Xiang Nuan a quiet once-over.
Given her plain, cheap clothing and her constrained and unnatural demeanor, it was clear she wasn’t one of the noble young ladies visiting the Fu household.
Since she wasn’t a visitor, the only possibility was that she was brought by Fu Si.
Jinxiu’s mind was put at ease.
Such a girl, who evidently came from an ordinary family, couldn’t possibly compare to Xia Jinjin.
But on the surface, Jinxiu approached warmly, and said with affection, "You must be the medical student, right? You really are quite cute."
