Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Degeneration Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Degeneration Shu Wan didn’t dislike video calls.
In fact, she felt that video calls were more respectful than voice calls.
She pressed the answer button, and Fu Siyu appeared on the screen in a suit, still in his office with the reflection of the city lights on the glass window behind him.
“Hello,” Shu Wan politely nodded to Fu Siyu.
Fu Siyu paused for a moment, “I thought we were no longer strangers.”
“Sort of.” In Shu Wan’s view, they hadn’t met in person and had only had a few phone calls, which wasn’t enough to be considered familiar.
“…” Fu Siyu’s eyes dimmed slightly, “Well then, hello.”
“Are you still working late?”
“There are some documents I haven’t finished yet.”
Fu Siyu didn’t get much sleep.
Staying up late or even pulling an all-nighter was normal for him.
“Oh,” Shu Wan nodded.
“I suggest you avoid staying up late.
Resting at the appropriate times can help your body recover.”
Fu Siyu’s eyes flickered slightly, “Okay, thanks for the reminder.
I mainly called to tell you that I received the Calming Tea you sent—it’s quite effective.”
As they were talking, the door was suddenly knocked on, and the servant walked in.
“Young Madam, here is the ice cream you were looking for.”
Shu Wan took the ice cream, “Okay.”
Shu Wan was very interested in everything modern.
Just coming back earlier, she had instructed the housekeeper to find the particular brand Fu Yang had been eating in the car.
Shu Wan tore open the packaging and gently bit into it.
The multilayered texture and sweetness instantly took over her taste buds.
Shu Wan had never tasted such a unique flavor before.
She was so engrossed in it that she forgot she was on a video call with Fu Siyu.
Unlike Fu Yang’s cud-chewing style of eating, Shu Wan was tasting tentatively.
Her red lips slightly parted to bite off a piece.
Unfamiliar with the chocolate and molten core, she inadvertently got some cream on the corner of her mouth.
“You’ve got something on the corner of your lips,” Fu Siyu suddenly spoke up.
Only then did Shu Wan remember the call was still active.
She looked at the screen, noticing the residue on her mouth.
Shu Wan extended her tongue, gently swept it over the cream, and took it into her mouth, leaving only a glossy wetness on her lips, which made her lips look even more plump and attractive.
Fu Siyu’s eyes darkened slightly, and he unconsciously looked away, lowering his head to look at the documents in his hand.
“Fu Yang has been causing you trouble.”
“It’s okay.” Shu Wan continued eating her ice cream as she responded to Fu Siyu.
“By the way, the housekeeper brought me a bank card yesterday.”
“Um, it’s a supplementary card of mine.
You can use it directly for whatever you need.” After speaking, Fu Siyu added, “Spend as much as you need—it’s like you’re borrowing from me.
You can pay me back when you have the money.”
Since Fu Siyu said so, Shu Wan had no reason to refuse.
She smiled at Fu Siyu, “Thanks.”
Shu Wan was beautiful, and when she smiled, her eyes shone like a refreshing breeze over a river, touching hearts unintentionally.
“No need to thank me.
But if you’re buying something that involves Fu Yang, you don’t need to pay me back.
Feel free to use it.”
As they spoke, Shu Wan finished her ice cream.
She glanced at the deep night in the background behind Fu Siyu, “It’s late, I won’t disturb you any longer.
Fu Siyu paused then nodded, “Alright, good night.”
After Shu Wan hung up, Fu Siyu turned off his phone.
He picked up a document beside him, but even with his usually high concentration, he found it hard to focus.
He looked up at the clock.
It was 12:05 AM, far from his usual bedtime.
But perhaps persuaded by Shu Wan’s advice, Fu Siyu hesitated for a moment before closing the folder, standing up, and walking to the adjacent resting room.
However, he didn’t sleep for long, as the usually abstinent man fell into a charming dream.
In the dream, he was enveloped in sweetness, and heard someone whispering in his ear, their breath lingering and weaving a softness.
That heat trailed along his ear tips, ears, cheeks, by his eyes, until it gently pressed against his lips.
Fu Siyu, who hated others getting close, subconsciously wanted to push the person in front of him away, but his body couldn’t resist.
As the heat along his lip corners broke through his closed teeth with sweetness, he turned over and pinned the person under him.
At that moment, the face of the person became clear.
Her hair flowed like a waterfall, her eyebrows like ink, and her lips red.
Fu Siyu suddenly opened his eyes.
