Lu Jinshen continued to stare at Fu Zhilei without saying a word.
The man's gaze seemed to be penetrating and oppressive.
Fu Zhilei was nervous, and her heart was beating like a drum.
Did he sense something?
That's impossible. This was an idea I came up with at the last minute. How could he have sensed it?
Sheng Yufei secretly observed Lu Jinshen and Fu Zhilei's expressions.
The former was unfathomable, while the latter was trembling.
Fu Zhilei's skills were too shallow. If this continued, she would definitely be exposed.
She was afraid that she would be implicated.
Sheng Yufei smiled as she leaned forward, picked up the tea in front of Lu Jinshen, and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Let me drink it." Then, before anyone could react, she took a sip of the tea.
Fu Zhilei's eyes widened as she stared at Sheng Yufei. She was surprised and puzzled. "Sister Yufei, you … you …"
Sheng Yufei looked at Fu Zhilei and blushed slightly. "Shouldn't I drink the tea you made for Jin Shen?" Then, she looked at Lu Jinshen and said, "Shall I make you another cup?"
"No need," Lu Jinshen said calmly.
Sheng Yufei didn't say anything else. She seemed to be really thirsty. She lowered her head and blew on the tea leaves floating in the cup, then took another sip.
Fu Zhilei was burning with anxiety as she watched from the side. Her expression was very interesting, but with Lu Jinshen present, she didn't dare to say anything. She could only be anxious until her forehead was covered in sweat.
"Zhilei, are you feeling hot?" Lu Jin's deep and probing gaze seemed to drift toward Fu Zhilei's face, taking in her nervousness and uneasiness.
Fu Zhilei wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Yes … a little …"
"Behave when you're alone overseas. Don't cause trouble," Lu Jinshen instructed calmly.
Fu Zhilei's attention and line of sight were all on the cup of tea in Sheng Yufei's hand. She didn't hear what Lu Jinshen said at all and replied perfunctorily, "Oh."
Lu Jinshen said something else after that. He said that he had a friend overseas who would take care of Fu Zhilei and that she could look for him if she had any problems.
But Fu Zhilei didn't hear a word. She was thinking anxiously. What should she do after Sheng Yufei drank that cup of tea?
Lu Jinshen did not stay for long and prepared to leave.
Fu Zhilei couldn't hold back anymore. She said to the man who stood up, "Brother, can you send Sister Yufei and Ziqian back?"
Sheng Yufei pinched her forehead with her fair fingers. She looked a little uncomfortable, but she still smiled and said, "No need …"
"Don't need what?" Fu Zhilei interrupted Sheng Yufei. She sounded anxious and angry. "I picked you and Ziqian up. You didn't even drive your car. What's wrong with my brother giving you a ride?"
Sheng Yufei's gentle gaze glanced at Lu Jinshen. The man's eyes were calm, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. No emotions could be seen on his face. "It's already so late. There's no need to trouble Jinshen. Ziqian and I can just take a taxi back."
"How can you say that it's troublesome? Even if you're divorced, you still have Ziqian, right? Why can't a father send his son home? " After saying that, Fu Zhilei looked at Lu Jinshen, who had been silent all this while. "Brother, say something. Are you giving them a ride or not?"
Lu Jinshen put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked down at Fu Zhilei calmly. He slowly said, "You picked us up. Aren't you giving them a ride?"
Fu Zhilei was speechless. "…"
Lu Jinshen walked up to Lu Ziqian and patted his little shoulder. "Be good and listen to Mommy. Daddy will take you out to play when he's free."
Lu Ziqian nodded his little head obediently. "Goodbye, Daddy."
Lu Jinshen nodded slightly and walked towards the door.
"Brother, why are you leaving just like that?" Fu Zhilei's anxious gaze shifted from Lu Jinshen's tall and straight back to Sheng Yufei's face. She was so anxious that she forgot to address her. "Sister-in-law, you're letting my brother leave just like that?"
Sheng Yufei's face was calm. She even had a faint smile on her lips to comfort Fu Zhilei. "Zhilei, just call me Sister Yufei. Jinshen and I are just family now. That's good. You don't have to worry about us anymore."
"I … You …" Fu Zhilei really didn't understand Sheng Yufei. Didn't she say that she would snatch Lu Jinshen back? Why did she change her mind just like that?
When Lu Jinshen heard Sheng Yufei's words, his footsteps paused for a moment. However, he didn't stop and quickly left the villa.
When Fu Zhilei saw the door close with a bang, she couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart anymore. She asked Sheng Yufei, "What do you mean? You know that cup of tea … "
"Zhilei," Sheng Yufei interrupted Fu Zhilei. She glanced at Lu Ziqian and then shook her head gently.
Fu Zhilei instantly understood. Sheng Yufei was telling her not to talk about those things in front of the child. She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, "What do we do now?"
Sheng Yufei's cheeks had already begun to turn abnormally red. Her body was also a little hot. She pressed her temples and looked at Lu Ziqian as she said gently, "Ziqian, Mommy isn't feeling well. Can you sleep at Auntie's house tonight?"
Lu Ziqian's innocent eyes were tinged with worry. "Mommy, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after resting for a while," Sheng Yufei said as she got up. She took Lu Ziqian's hand and walked to the guest room on the first floor.
Fu Zhilei looked at Sheng Yufei's leisurely back and was really about to go crazy. However, Lu Ziqian was here, so she couldn't say anything. She could only watch the two of them enter the guest room. Then, she fidgeted around the living room like an ant on a hot pan.
About ten minutes later, Sheng Yufei came out of the guest room. Her face was as red as an apple. She looked weak and listless. She said to Fu Zhilei, who was guarding the door, "Help me."
Fu Zhilei hurriedly helped her to the sofa. "Shall I take you to the hospital?"
Sheng Yufei shook her head.
Fu Zhilei was so anxious that she was about to stomp her feet. "You took that kind of medicine. If you don't go to the hospital, and now my brother isn't here, you'll die."
Sheng Yufei sat down on the sofa. She felt as if countless ants were crawling in her body. It was soft and numb, and she didn't have much strength. Her body was also burning hot, as if it was being roasted over a fire.
She held Fu Zhilei's hand and said in a soft voice, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Tell me. If I can help, I'll definitely help."
Sheng Yufei exhaled a breath of hot air and suppressed the empty feeling in her lower abdomen. She said, "Call your brother and tell him that I'm sick. Then, when he comes, take the initiative to tell him that there's something wrong with that cup of tea …"
Fu Zhilei's heart suddenly tightened, and her eyes were filled with panic. "No, my brother will whip me."
"Zhilei," Sheng Yufei said in a pleading tone, "I'm begging you. Didn't you want to set me up with Jinshen? This is a great opportunity. "
"Why did you drink that cup of tea? Wouldn't it be better if my brother drank that cup of tea? "
Sheng Yufei shook her head. "Your brother is such a cautious person. He's already starting to suspect something, isn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't keep staring at you and not touch that cup of tea. "
