Fu Yu Shen pretended to act as if everything was fine and looked at Qi Genghis with a smile. "It's nothing I was supposed to be finishing up my work but I went partying around and didn't finish the reports that I needed to, so my big brother got angry and punished me, nothing else."
He tried very hard not to look at the ghost woman and child that were standing behind him, instead, he stared at Qi Genghis who was shining like a holy beacon at the moment. He knew that he was supposed to act more manly in front of the woman he has slept with but the constant chill on his back made him unable to act as flamboyant as he always did, instead even if he pretended that he was fine, he couldn't ignore the ugly faces that were glaring at him!
Qi Genghis looked at Fu Yu Shen in surprise, she was really shocked by his guts. To think that even after spending two nights with the ghosts, he was still able to smile and chatter in front of her? She deliberately delayed coming to the Fu house for two days because she wanted Fu Yu Shen to be completely hooked around her little pinky but now that she was seeing that he could still act as if he was fine, she was a bit regretful. She should have waited for a few more days before coming to see him, that way, he would have been more desperate to cling to her.
Never mind, she will just play her role and see what will happen in the future. Ji Haoyu has told her the celestial master that looked after the Fu family was travelling, and wouldn't be returning for at least a month and a half, that was enough time for her to drive Fu Yu Shen to a corner and get him to accept her as his wife.
She smiled flawlessly and entered the room making sure to make her pace calm and steady as she looked at Fu Yu Shen and then took a seat next to Fu Yu Shen on his bed. " Are you feeling all right? I tried reaching you but I couldn't, so I got worried and came looking for you … you won't blame me right?" She asked with a pout before reaching her hand and touching Fu Yu Shen's forehead as if trying to check his temperature.
Fu Yu Shen was slightly annoyed with the closeness that Qi Genghis was showing to him but he didn't get a chance to stop her because the second she touched his forehead, he felt the chill on his back disappear. Startled, he looked over his shoulder and sure enough, the ghost woman and her child, both of them were gone! He was so shocked by the happenings that he raised his free hand and rubbed his eyes… and when he carefully put his hand down, there was nothing!
It wasn't wrong to say that he was surprised as he turned to look at Qi Genghis who had her head down while she was looking at something on her phone. From this angle, her curly eyelashes covered her eyes and Fu Yu Shen wasn't able to see the cunningness flashing in her eyes. Furthermore, since she was carefully angling her phone away from him, Fu Yu Shen wasn't able to see that she was texting Ji Haoyu.
While Fu Yu Shen was lost in thought, he suddenly felt the chill that he was feeling return and he jumped in surprise as he looked over his shoulder and almost screamed out loud when he saw that the ghostly woman and child have returned and this time they looked far scarier than they did before—— what was this did these things went ahead to get some sort of training or something? Why were they ever more horrible looking than before?
He didn't even realise that he started to shiver and tremble in fear until Qi Genghis reached out her hand and held his. Fu Yu Shen suddenly felt a warm touch on the back of his hand and felt his eyes widen in surprise when he saw that the ghost woman and child vanished in the puff of thin air.
" Are you okay?" Qi Genghis asked with a frown as if she really couldn't understand what was going on with Fu Yu Shen, in her circle she had to act a lot and now her acting could be considered almost perfect.
Though his grandfather didn't stop him from fooling around, things were different when it came to getting married and dating seriously. His grandfather was very careful about the 'background' and 'upbringing' of his daughters-in-law. If one didn't have the background then they have to at least have a decent upbringing. And they should be talented and wise.
Like his eldest sister, she had all three qualities, she came from a decent background, had a good upbringing and was talented as well. The same could be said for Song Yan even though he didn't want to admit it, Song Yan had the elegance and the pedigree of a socialite and her wits though not as sharp as his eldest sister-in-law, she wasn't exactly dumb when it came to business either.
But Qi Genghis lacked all these things.
His calculations didn't escape Qi Genghis's eyes, and her lips curled in derision before she tapped the message that she has written earlier and sent it to Ji Haoyu who called her three seconds later. " Oh," acting surprised she smiled at Fu Yu Shen awkwardly. "Give me a second, I need to take this call, all right?"
Then without waiting for a response, she got up from Fu Yu Shen's bed and strode out of the room.
Not even two seconds passed after she left the room and Fu Yu Shen felt the chill on his back rise up again.
Sh!t!
