"Today, the Lady will be returning to Capital Star with the school from the training base, and Fu Yang had received the news early," the butler said in a tone that betrayed neither worry nor anticipation.
"He’s still not back yet, waiting for so long."
Fu Xing was impressed by his cousin’s persistence.
"As soon as Fu Yang got to Capital Star, you had people stop him. By the time he was released, the Lady had already left Capital Star, and you weren’t there either. Fu Yang will not rest until he has completed his business and met the person."
"Let’s not stop him this time, let Lin Fu handle it herself. After the last interception, Fu Yang should know where he stands."
The last time Fu Xing arranged for people to stall Fu Yang, it was a subtle reminder, telling him where he stood and to tread carefully.
He wouldn’t interfere if Lin Fu were hassled, but it had to be within the boundaries he had set.
The butler was not surprised by Fu Xing’s response, since the oldest young master had always been .
He was protective, yet principled.
As long as no one unfairly bullied his people, he wouldn’t meddle. Also, he manifested the Fu Family men’s typical robust aggressiveness; "Playing hard" was a classic taunt among the men of the Fu Family, becoming their catchphrase.
"I have great confidence in the Lady."
"Oh?" Fu Xing raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Butler, you seem particularly confident in Lin Fu."
"Yes! From the first moment I saw the Lady, I felt she was the best gift from Heaven to our family. She is the destined one for you, and you will be very happy together. Not to mention, she loves you a lot..."
"Stop!" Fu Xing interrupted, giving the butler a strange look. If not for the respect and trust he held for the butler, akin to that for a grandfather, he might have suspected the butler was bought by Lin Fu.
Oh! Lin Fu didn’t have the resources to buy the butler.
"Alright then! By the way, I haven’t sent yesterday’s video yet!" the butler said, looking down and tapping lightly, sending over the video Dean sent him yesterday and adding, "The transmission from Capital Star to Laniakea Battlefield is quite slow, please wait patiently."
Fu Xing’s face twitched uncomfortably, "I’m not in a rush."
Then, feeling that was not quite right, he coolly added, "There’s no need to send me the training videos, they’re too many and would only take up my precious time."
The butler smiled ambiguously, "But I find them incredibly interesting! I really want to share them, and if you don’t want them, then I’ll send them to Fu Tian. He will certainly enjoy them."
Fu Xing’s expression darkened abruptly, he said firmly, "Fu Tian wouldn’t dare to accept them."
"Oh right, according to traditional etiquette, a younger brother-in-law should maintain a safe social distance from his older sister-in-law," the butler said, his face breaking into a mischievous grin.
Fu Xing decisively ended the call.
Lin Fu could never have imagined that the person she feared and dreaded most at the Duke Mansion was actually supporting her from the beginning, actively using his influence to speak well of her in front of Fu Xing.
Calling the butler a fanatical shipper of the two wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
Neat, heavy, solemn footsteps echoed from the hovering bridge, drawing the collective gaze of everyone in the hall, most of whom were influential media figures with a footing in the Star Network.
