Chapter 140: Not Enough
Qi Yu was stunned by Fu Yansheng’s words. He’d guessed right. Fu Yansheng was still going to leave. This person only belongs to that place he came from.
But after hearing Fu Yansheng’s words, Qi Yu also understood that this man didn’t want to break up with him… In fact, even though Fu Yansheng never mentioned “love” to him personally, Qi Yu could sense that this man was already different than before.
From Fu Yansheng waiting in the underground parking lot, demanding that he get back from party at midnight, to holing his hand and pleasing with him to “don’t ask”; from embracing him at the airport and saying “I will do my best”, to now, pouring out his heart, saying an uninhibited “I missed you” in the dark…
Fu Yansheng is no longer the calm an composed him that he used to be. Little by little, he was showing in front of him emotions and desires that an ordinary man should have.
However, Qi Yu felt, this wasn’t enough.
Thinking of how Fu Yansheng approached him with ulterior motives in the beginning and how he teased him so so much ease during the early stages of their relationship, Qi Yu felt pent up anger.
He knew that Fu Yansheng had no choice; which was why Qi Yu was so angry at himself at how easily the other party managed to accomplish his goals with regards to him. He was so angry at himself at how utterly helpless he was when it came to Fu Yansheng.
Qi Yu recalled how Qi Feng said in the car today that he would keep himself looking good so that Ling Ke would always stay infatuated with him. While thinking what he should do to get Fu Yansheng fall even more thoroughly, he took a puff of smoke and asked lightly, “When did you arrive in Newtown?”
Fu Yansheng: “I arrived at the airport at five this morning. By around seven, I was in the vicinity of your house.”
Qi Yu: “So, you’ve been quietly watching us the whole day?”
Fu Yansheng: “En, I went to watch your parents’ wedding ceremony, but I came back by noon.”
Qi Yu inwardly sighed, so it hadn’t just been his imagination.
But he asked, puzzled, “My parents’ wedding had a strict security team. Since you didn’t have an invitation, how did you get in?”
Fu Yansheng: “Your mother invited me.”
Qi Yu was taken aback. “When?”

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows. “Then why didn’t you just show up openly?”
Fu Yansheng smiled bitterly. “Your father hadn’t invited me nor had he allowed me to come. I was afraid that my appearance would make him unhappy and cause you some unnecessary trouble.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Qi Yu continued to ask, “Then you choosing this time to come see me means that you think the Si Family already has no way of saving their situation?”
Fu Yansheng smiled bitterly. “I think you’re overestimating my ability. The organization has their own plans. They do plan to act today but me being able to come here was also because I applied to my superiors to do so. I can tell you these things because I reported it. The audio files in the USB drive you gave me expressed your position… Of course, these aren’t things that you can tell anyone. There are confidentiality agreements in my carry-on bag. Can you sign them for me later?”
Qi Yu was stunned. Did Fu Yansheng just decapitate first and then present his trophy? As strict and careful as he was, he could actually still do such impulsive things…?
But the other party’s move made Qi Yu feel that he was truly trusted. After he agreed, he asked, “Is what I gave you useful?”
Fu Yansheng: “We’ve collected enough evidence and what you provided can be regarded as part of the evidence. But we can’t use it in court.”
Qi Yu: “Why not?”
Fu Yansheng: “In order to protect your safety. The Si Family’s members committed an economic crime, it’s not a capital crime. Also, once they go in, it isn’t as though they won’t be able to communicate with the outside world. If it becomes known in the business circle that the evidence you provided helped in their arrest, it definitely won’t be a good thing for you and your father.”
Qi Yu knew it! No wonder Fu Yansheng wouldn’t let him do anything before…
His eyelids slightly lowered, he said worriedly, “My father should be fine, right?”
Fu Yansheng: “He should be for now.”
Qi Yu suddenly raised his head. “What do you mean ‘for now’?”
Fu Yansheng: “We haven’t found any criminal behavior related to your father, but we’ll see how Si Li and Si Ze explain during the trial.”
Qi Yu remembered how his dad had said before that he never joined in the Si Family’s activities. Although he had breathed a sigh of relief at the time, he wasn’t completely relieved. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe his father; merely that he was afraid that his father might have gotten involved without knowing it. After all, they’ve been working with the Si Family for so many years, his dad and Uncle Si have such a good relationship…
A stick of cigarette burned out so quickly. Qi Yu put out the cigarette in the ashtray and looked at Fu Yansheng. “When are you going back to China?”
Fu Yansheng: “Tomorrow morning…”
Qi Yu: “So soon?”
Fu Yansheng: “Given that its such a big incident, I’m guessing your dad will also book a flight for tomorrow and rush back. I can’t wait for him to arrive at Haicheng and not be there, right?”
He only arrived early this morning and he was leaving early tomorrow — rushing all over the place just to see him… Seeing the exhaustion leak on Fu Yansheng’s face, Qi Yu had to admit that the other party’s actions this time pleased him a lot.
He looked away, thinking about how to convince his father to let him go back to China tomorrow and also how to take the same flight with Fu Yansheng.
Little did he know, how tempting he looked to Fu Yansheng with the way he had his legs drawn and his waist bent as he pondered. It wasn’t until his line of sight was blocked that Qi Yu realized that Fu Yansheng had approached him from over the other side.
After being “made to stand as punishment and interrogated” for so long, Fu Yansheng couldn’t hold back any longer. He put one hand on the sofa, leaned in and placed the other hand on Qi Yu’s cheek. Towering over him from above, he looked at Qi Yu and said, voice hoarse, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”
Qi Yu: “…”
Seeing that he gave no answer, Fu Yansheng lifted his chin, leaning in, seeking his lips to kiss.
At this moment, Qi Yu’s cell phone rang.
Qi Yu held back Fu Yansheng with one hand, glanced at the caller ID and got up nervously to answer. “Hello? Mom?”
The caller was Jiang Ying, she said on the other end of the phone, “Something happened to the Si Family, do you know?”
“Yeah, I just received the news…” Qi Yu said.
Jiang Ying: “Your father just asked Secretary He to book us plane tickets. He said you’ll be coming back to China with us tomorrow.”
Sure enough, it was just as Fu Yansheng expected. However, Qi Yu hadn’t expected that his dad would let him go back with them. He asked, “What about Xiao Feng and Ling Ke?”
Jiang Ying: “It depends on their own wishes. If they still want to play here, the housekeeper will be here to take care of them.”
Qi Yu: “Okay…”
Jiang Ying paused and asked him, “I just knocked on your door. Are you not in you room?”
Qi Yu was so frightened by his mother’s words that his heart jumped to his throat. “I-I had something I needed to do…”
Jiang Ying: “Did Xiao Fu come?”
Qi Yu: “…”
Jiang Ying: “Are you coming back tonight?”
The successive questions struck Qi Yu so hard that he didn’t know how to answer.
Jiang Ying said, carrying on the conversation by herelf, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to come back. I won’t tell your father. But Xiao He booked a flight at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. Remember to come back early tomorrow to pack your things.”
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yu was still in shock.
Seeing his face looking even more terrified than when he saw the news of the Si family’s incident, Fu Yansheng couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter, what did your mother say?”
Qi Yu turned to stare at him: “My mom knows that I came here to see you…”
Fu Yansheng nodded. “Well, this room was reserved for me by your mother.”
Qi Yu: “???”
Seeing Qi Yu’s sluggish expression, Fu Yansheng smiled. He reached out and hugged him. Rubbing the hair by his temples, he said, “Alright. Let’s go to bed?”
“Wait up!” Qi Yu pushed Fu Yansheng away, exasperated, “Please explain to me first. How does my mother know you’re here? And she even booked a hotel room for you? How many things are you hiding from me!”
Fu Yansheng looked completely innocent. “I just told you she invited me here…”
