The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

After the doctor bandaged the wound, Fu Shenyan felt better and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Why does this burn feel more painful than being stabbed by a knife? It's burning hot." Fu Shenyan muttered to himself unintentionally.

"Thank you, Fu Shenyan." Zhou Yian suddenly stopped and bowed to Fu Shenyan with a sincere face.

Fu Shenyan paused, a little surprised by Zhou Yian's action, and there was a different emotion in his dark eyes, "Actually, you don't need to be so formal, it's not like we just met."

He looked up and around, and found a coffee shop not far away. "There's a coffee shop over there. Is it convenient for me to go over and sit down?"

"Okay." Zhou Yian also glanced at the coffee shop opposite. Instead of refusing as she had imagined, she agreed readily. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she had too many questions to ask him.

The two of them walked one after the other. Fu Shenyan looked at Zhou Yian's thin back, not knowing what he was thinking about, and sighed helplessly.

After arriving at the coffee shop, the two did not order coffee, but instead ordered a glass of soda water.

"You know what? I was very worried about you after you were injured. After your second brother took you away, I didn't even know whether you were alive or dead."

"I never thought you would worry about me. I thought you would hate me for making things more complicated and getting you into trouble. But, look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"

"Actually, I returned to Tianshui City after I recovered from my injuries. I went back to the club to look for you, but you had resigned, changed your phone number, and moved. I couldn't find you, so I had to give up."

"However, I went to the club recently and heard them discussing something. Then I found out that you were with Xu Zehao. How is he... treating you well?"

"Fu Shenyan..." Zhou Yian suddenly called his name softly, his voice soft and gentle as water.

Fu Shenyan was talking nonstop with his head down. When he heard her calling him, he looked up at her in confusion, "Huh?"

"...Why are you so nice to me? You saved me time and time again. I don't deserve you to treat me like this..."

Zhou Yian paused, chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Besides, you know, I'm with Xu Zehao now, so I won't be your good man."

Fu Shenyan smiled pretentiously, "Does who you like to be with have anything to do with my liking for you? Does it matter whether you are a good person or not? I am not a good person either. My liking for you is my business and has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me? Don't you feel wronged? You have given so much for me, is it fair to you? Sometimes I feel like I owe you a lot, and I can't pay you back."

"I don't need you to pay it back. Is there fairness in this world? The fairest thing about this world is that it is unfair to everyone. For example, I am so rich, but you are so poor. Sometimes I wonder why you chose him instead of me..."

"But then I thought, there's no reason to like someone. If you like someone, you like him/her. It's voluntary and there's no regrets. If I like you, you must like me, then there wouldn't be so many crazy men and women in this world, don't you think?"

"Fu Shenyan, you have really changed a lot."

"Has it changed?"

"In your eyes, what was I like before? What am I like now?" Fu Shenyan looked at Zhou Yian curiously. After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time they sat together like old friends and had a calm conversation.

"You used to have a perverse and cruel personality, you were fickle and suspicious, and you gave people a feeling that you couldn't see through me, which made me feel very uncomfortable."

"what about now?"

"Now, he seems to be much more stable and his personality has become gentler. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He is a person who speaks hard but is soft at heart."

Fu Shenyan curled his lips and chuckled, picked up the soda water on the table and took a sip, then fell silent for a while as if thinking about something.

"Is it possible that I am still myself, but I am different just because your position in my heart is different?" When it comes to expressing love, Fu Shenyan has always been generous and not stingy with his expression.

“Thank you, but as a friend I still hope you can be happy. Don’t waste your time on me… I’m not worth it.

Fu Shenyan looked at her straight, love flashed in his eyes, and he said word by word: "It's not about whether it's worth it or not, it's only about whether you are willing or not. Don't worry, as long as you are happy, I won't do anything to bother you."

Fu Shenyan has really changed. If she had met him like this at the beginning, she might really like him.

Zhou Yian couldn't have a clear conscience. She felt guilty, so she avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"What do you think about today's incident?" Seeing her avoiding his gaze, Fu Shenyan felt helpless and deliberately changed the subject.

"I don't know. In fact, she has been following me for several days. She might have been scouting the area. I don't know who she is and why she would go to such great lengths to target me. What about you? Why are you here?"

"When I was at the club, I overheard someone talking about what happened to you not long ago, so I sent someone to inquire about it. I learned that you lived nearby. Today I happened to have nothing to do, so I thought I would come here to try my luck."

"When I first saw your back, I was a little unsure. Then I saw that woman following you stealthily. I just wanted to see what she was up to. I didn't expect that I could save your life."

"Thank you. I am confused too. What mistress, vixen, I have no idea. Maybe this is just a cover. I must have offended someone."

"I'll help you find out. Be careful when you go out next time. I'm afraid if I don't succeed this time, there will be a next time."

"Will this trouble you?"

"No, it's not a big deal in my eyes. I will find out as soon as possible."

At this moment, Zhou Yian's cell phone rang. She took out her phone, looked at Fu Shenyan, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the answer button.

"No, I have something to do. I'm back near the community and will be back soon."

"All right."

Fu Shenyan looked at Zhou Yian's cautious and careful expression, and he had already guessed who was on the other end of the phone.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Yian hung up the phone.

"Is it him?" Fu Shenyan asked knowingly.

"Yeah, sorry, I should go back." Zhou Yian said as he prepared to get up.

"I send you."

"No, no." Zhou Yian seemed a little panicked. He stood up subconsciously and waved his hands to refuse.

Fu Shenyan felt a little suspicious when he saw her panic-stricken refusal. She seemed to be very afraid of him, or to be more precise, afraid that he would send her home.

Zhou Yian realized belatedly that his actions had gone too far and could only smile awkwardly.

Her fear was real. She could never forget the feeling of being strangled by someone and having difficulty breathing, on the verge of death when Wen Junru sent her home. That feeling made her back go cold.

"Okay, slow down. I'll contact you once I find out what's going on."

Fu Shenyan's unusual understanding made Zhou Yian feel even more guilty.

"Then I'll go back first. You should go back early too. The doctor said that your back can't get wet, and you can't eat spicy food. You...you need to pay more attention to yourself and apply the medicine on time."

"it is good."

Zhou Yian nodded and turned to leave. Fu Shenyan's eyes followed her moving figure until she completely disappeared from sight. Then he turned his head and looked out the window with a lonely look on his face.
