Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want

The vet was perplexed, and so was Qin Shu. Boss had run faster than a rabbit, and the contrast was too big from the lethargic look it had before. It would not have dashed away just at the sight or touch of a stranger.

The vet had thought that the black cat was in good condition, and it looked healthier than any of the cats she had seen.

”I think itʼs in good spirits. It doesnʼt look like itʼs sick.” She deduced, ”Maybe itʼs not in a good mood.” As she had examined countless house pets of all kinds, she could make a rough assumption.

Not in a good mood? Could it be because Ye Luo was not at home? Qin Shu thought.

Seeing that it was as healthy as a horse, she did not force Boss to have the vet look at it. She had paid the fees and let Ning Meng saw her out.

Qin Shu walked out of the living room and headed to the ginkgo tree in the backyard. She had hoped that Boss was at its usual spot, resting under the swing at the tree—she was right—and there it was as the tree was in sight, looking dull. She had guessed that it was in low spirits because it was sad.

Qin Shu looked at Boss for a while, then walked in front of it and crouched down. She reached out to pick it up and rubbed its head.

”Letʼs head back to the bedroom. Ye Luo will be back the day after tomorrow. Iʼll have him play with you then.”

Boss did not make a sound.

As they returned to the bedroom, Qin Shu put Boss back into its pillow bed, and she noticed the silver business card. It had belonged to Jun Li. It was a surprise to her that Boss had not lost it and thrown it out, and it had let the card remain in its bed.

Boss was even lazier to move around when it got back to its bed. It had stretched its limbs, then continued to curl up in a crescent.

”Do take a nap in your bed. Iʼll go read.”

Qin Shu rubbed its head, then stood up and walked into the study.

The pharmacology of medicinal plants was the hardest among medicine, and it was even more difficult for Qin Shu, who did not have the basics. Not only that she had to go through everything, but she also had to memorize them all.

She would categorize anything that possessed similar characteristics with the missing herb under the same group. She had eliminated the need to look at commonly used herbs because Gu Yan, being a genius in traditional Chinese medicine, would have already tried them all. Not to mention, many of the herbs mentioned in the Compendium of Materia Medica were no longer available in the market. Qin Shu had written down all of them, as well as their general appearance.

Gu Yan had arrived at the penthouse office of Fu Enterprise, and he pushed the door open and marched straight in. As he saw Fu Tingyu standing in front of the dark brown desk, he made his way towards him.

Fu Tingyu heard the noise and looked towards the direction of the door. It was Gu Yan, and he did not seem surprised to see him hear. He was expecting him.

”Did I not tell you the last time that you must not perform martial arts anymore? Are you taking my words for granted? If things continue like this, you wonʼt even last two years.” Gu Yan stood in front of his desk and looked at Fu Tingyu. He was glaring, scowling at him. He had lost his usual gentle and refined temperament.

If his time left was lesser, they would have a lesser chance to have him cured.

Fu Tingyu raised his eyes, and he held the pen in his hand tightly. He met Gu Yanʼs gaze and let out a humorless smile. ”What else could I do? Hide behind my people and do nothing like trash?”

Gu Yan had known the person in front of him since they were young. He was reckless and had always flaunted his superiority, and he had always addressed issues in using force whenever he could.

”Itʼs still not a reason to overexert yourself. Nothing is more important than your health.” He continued, ”You should bring Ye brothers along with you wherever you go.. Do not involve yourself in any unnecessary.”
