Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Furious to the Extreme
He straightened Lin Fu, but his arm still imperiously encircled her waist as he led her toward the villa, while saying, “Because a biological father wouldn’t let his own daughter become a Genetic Modifier.”
He indeed had known all along.
Lin Fu couldn’t quite identify the mixture of feelings in her heart, as she stared blankly at his perfectly contoured profile. Suddenly, Fu Xing turned his head, bringing their faces so close that their nose tips touched and their breaths mingled.
Fu Xing’s deep eyes fixed on her, silent yet full of affection, with emotions that Lin Fu couldn’t understand.
A thought suddenly occurred to her, could he really have not found Lin Qingfeng’s hiding place?
Maybe he had found it long ago and was just pretending not to know?
“What are you thinking about, Ah Foo?”
“Thinking about you.”
“But I’m right in front of you, so why don’t you hug me? Don’t you love hugging me the most?” Fu Xing’s voice was low and a tad seductive.
Lin Fu obediently extended her arms and hugged his waist, nestling into Fu Xing’s broad embrace.
“I don’t want to walk; carry me inside,” she cooed.
“No! I’m really tired, today was so hard.”
Suddenly, Fu Xing scooped her up in a horizontal carry. In the moment her body was lifted into the air, Lin Fu swiftly clung to Fu Xing’s neck, smiling with crescent eyes.
And she cast aside all those words Lin Qingfeng had spoken to the back of her mind.
Right now, she was Lin Fu, not Flora.
She had no urgent revenge to seek, and the memory of her kind father was shrouded in haze. Having lost her memories, she couldn’t empathize.
Compared to revenge, Fu Xing was more important to her.
“Fu Xing, have I ever told you I like you?”
“How could that be? I clearly have.”
Fu Xing chuckled softly, “Well, I don’t remember, so say it again.”
“Alright, I like you, very, very much.”
“You have to like me forever.”
“Mhm!” Lin Fu agreed without a second thought, not noticing the dark flash in Fu Xing’s eyes.
“Fu Xing, I’m hungry, I didn’t eat at noon or in the evening.”
“What would you like to eat?”
“How about barbecue?” She really missed the barbecue from the Ancient Earth Era, with its savory, spicy, and cumin flavors that made her mouth water, “We could do it ourselves in the yard, and since tomorrow’s match isn’t important, I can rest for two days.”
It had started as a whim, but now the more she thought about it, the more appealing it became, “Let’s have some drinks too! Barbecue with a little wine, sounds good, right?”
Fu Xing placed Lin Fu in the room and turned to arrange for someone to prepare the barbecue ingredients and tools. When he looked back after giving the orders, he found Lin Fu was already asleep on the bed.
It seemed she was indeed very tired.
Fu Xing lay down beside Lin Fu, hands behind his head, inhaling the subtle fragrance of Ah Foo, while his heart was already churning like rough seas, utterly unlike his calm appearance.
“A stepping stone on the path to revenge… Hah!”
He muttered to himself, his handsome face taking on a tinge of madness and obsession.
He turned to his side, staring unblinkingly at the sleeping woman, feeling extreme anger yet still unwilling to let go, even more unwilling to strike her down.
Fu Xing murmured, his hand unconsciously tightening on Lin Fu’s slender waist, the force growing until it almost crushed her.
In her sleep, Lin Fu whimpered softly, her voice sweet and pleasant, utterly defenseless.
