CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 236: THE ORIGIN

The housekeeper finished speaking and, in a futile effort to cover up, covered his mouth, "Ah, ma’am, don’t let the young master know. He once instructed us that we couldn’t let you know."

Shu Wan gave the housekeeper a faint look, neither good nor bad, "You may go now. I’ll keep this stuff."

"Okay."

The housekeeper quickly left and Shu Wan sat on the sofa, holding the note in her hand, contemplating.

By the time she went downstairs again, her expression had returned to normal.

But when she sat down at the dining table and saw the fried eggs and mixed noodles, Shu Wan’s gaze paused.

In her past life, Shu Wan was taken care of by many maids and servants, but compared to that, the service at the estate was even more meticulous and attentive.

Shu Wan had always thought that this was because the estate’s servants were well trained, but now she realized that it was because Fu Siyu stood behind them.

Therefore, every detail she laid eyes on became connected to that note.

And then, Shu Wan realized that every corner contained details.

From the taste of her food to her drinking habits, everything was impeccably arranged. Even for someone like Shu Wan, who wasn’t overly indulgent, life felt very comfortable.

"Do you need to go out today? I’ll give you a ride."

Shu Wan was eating slower than Fu Siyu, who was waiting for her.

"I do need to go out." Shu Wan hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Lin is looking for me."

As expected, as soon as she said this, Fu Siyu’s expression visibly changed, although he quickly covered it up, but Shu Wan still caught it.

After all, Xiao Lin was Xiao Yan’s brother, and if Xiao Lin was looking for Shu Wan, Xiao Yan would certainly come along.

"I’ll take you there."

"Sure."

On the way, Fu Siyu seemed quite normal, so much so that Shu Wan thought perhaps she was judging him unfairly.

However, this facade of calm shattered upon their arrival at their destination.

Because standing next to Xiao Lin was a man in a black coat, none other than Xiao Yan.

Fu Siyu’s hand tightened slightly around his cup, and his gaze deepened.

"Then I’ll go down."

The car stopped, and Shu Wan took her bag and prepared to get out.

The driver had already opened the door, and from Xiao Yan’s angle, they could see inside the car.

Fu Siyu looked up, meeting Xiao Yan’s gaze mid-air - sharp as daggers, icy as glaciers - but after a second of confrontation, both men withdrew, as if nothing had occurred.

Shu Wan was somewhat helpless but didn’t know what to say.

"Shu Wan," Fu Siyu suddenly called her.

"Hmm?"

Fu Siyu slightly bowed his head, "My tie is a bit crooked, could you straighten it for me?"

Shu Wan was taken aback, she knew what Fu Siyu meant.

He was jealous.

After a moment’s hesitation, thinking of the note from the morning, Shu Wan sighed softly in her heart, then turned around, reached for Fu Siyu’s tie, and straightened it for him.

Fu Siyu admitted that he had been a bit spiteful just now. In fact, he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.

Because he had lost control for a moment.

But he hadn’t expected Shu Wan to actually oblige.

Fu Siyu’s gaze lowered slightly, catching sight of Shu Wan’s curled lashes and the tip of her nose.

The irritation that had been swirling in his heart vanished at that moment, leaving only Shu Wan’s clear face surrounded by a mist, seemingly encasing him, blocking out everything else.

"I’ll come to pick you up when you’re done," Fu Siyu said in a low voice.

Shu Wan felt even more helpless, "Don’t you need to work?"

"Work isn’t that important."

The implication being that Shu Wan was more important.

Shu Wan’s heart stirred, "Alright, fine."

Fu Siyu was happy now. He looked toward the car door, his expression tinged with a subtle triumph, like a teenager winning a championship for the first time.

In stark contrast was Xiao Yan’s sullen face.

Xiao Lin stood beside him, his vision blocked by the car door, oblivious to what had happened inside. He only sensed that his brother was in a bad mood.

"Brother, why are you unhappy again? Didn’t you want to see Sister Shu Wan?"

"I did want to see her, just not some annoying person." Xiao Yan snorted coldly.

Xiao Lin didn’t understand; he was quite happy.

Although he and Shu Wan attended Qing University together, Shu Wan seldom came to school, and every time she did, he wanted to see her but was hindered by Fu Yang, that annoying fly who constantly hovered around Shu Wan, preventing Xiao Lin from approaching her.

Finally, using the school event as an opportunity, Xiao Lin was thrilled to spend time with Shu Wan.
