Feng Chengyuan froze completely in place. The lingering warmth on his body was neutralized by the cold air Yu Nian brought. He wanted to push Yu Nian away but was afraid of hurting her if he didn't control the strength well.
He could only ask softly, "Yu Nian, have you been drinking?"
Yu Nian buried her soft little face in the lapel of his bathrobe. Her voice was a bit muffled but carried a tenderness different from usual. Feng Chengyuan snapped out of his daze, leaned closer, and tried to make out what she was saying.
"Master, please spare your disciple. I really can't copy the scriptures anymore. I won't be playful in the future..."
Feng Chengyuan frowned slightly. Yu Nian's master? How come he had never heard Yu Nian mention this before?
Seeing Yu Nian looking dizzy but smelling no alcohol on her, Feng Chengyuan gently held her furry head a bit further away. He called Xu Yang with one hand while still keeping an eye on Yu Nian to prevent her from moving around and hurting herself.
Yu Nian slowly raised her head, and her gaze landed directly on Feng Chengyuan's face. There were little stars in her eyes. "What a huge piece of yellow paper that has gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon! How much must this cost..."
Finally, the call was answered. Feng Chengyuan's tone was a bit low. "Xu Yang, what did you guys feed Yu Nian?"
Xu Yang was a bit confused on the other end. "Just some barbecues and local specialties... Oh, right. Yu Nian also had an extra bowl of mushroom soup!"
"Mushroom soup?" Looking at Yu Nian's dazed look, Feng Chengyuan decided to take her to the hospital right away.
Just as he was about to pick Yu Nian up, Yu Nian suddenly stood on tiptoe and planted her soft, rosy lips on his face. Her voice was filled with a bit of excitement. "I've got some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I've made a profit..."
Feng Chengyuan, who was always calm and composed, suddenly froze. His thin lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.
By the time he came to his senses, Yu Nian had already run into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and sat cross - legged quietly.
Feng Chengyuan quickly picked her up, but Yu Nian looked a bit unhappy. "I haven't filled it up yet."
"What?"
"Nonsense. I'm a teacup. The ultimate goal of my existence is to fill myself with tea."
Feng Chengyuan was both angry and amused. His eyes accidentally fell on Yu Nian. Her loose clothes were soaked, and her graceful figure was faintly visible.
Feng Chengyuan averted his eyes, took out a towel, and wrapped her tightly. Then he rummaged through his clothes and dressed her in layer after layer. He softened his tone. "Yu Nian, you've got food poisoning. Let me take you to the hospital, okay?"
Chen Xian was sitting in the front passenger seat. Looking at the disheveled pair in the back seat, his eyes almost popped out.
"Boss Feng, what did you guys do in the room...?"
Feng Chengyuan pulled Yu Nian's sweatshirt hood lower and said to the driver, "Drive faster. Go to the nearest hospital."
The driver quickly responded and didn't dare to be distracted. But then a cold voice came leisurely. "Drive slower."
Feng Chengyuan quickly leaned closer. "Do you feel sick and want to vomit?"
Yu Nian slowly placed her fair hand on her head. Her eyes were a bit cold. "The tea leaves are going to spill out."
Feng Chengyuan: ………
Chen Xian and the driver: ………
After learning that Yu Nian was hospitalized due to food poisoning from eating mushrooms, Xu Yang and Song Xiyin rushed to visit.
Looking at Feng Chengyuan, who had been waiting in the ward all the time, Xu Yang was surprised but understood.
Although he had misunderstood their relationship at first, it seemed that Yu Nian was different from others in Boss Feng's heart.
Just like this, Yu Nian was hospitalized for three days. Her once - plump little face had lost weight, and she felt nauseous just at the mention of the word "mushroom".
After returning to Kyoto, Yu Nian left a few amulets for Feng Chengyuan and then returned to the Qingxin Taoist Temple to recuperate.
In the office of a tall building in Kyoto, Feng Chengyuan was listening to the reports from various departments, but his mind wandered again.
According to Yu Nian, as a contract person, one must always stay by the contract master's side to avoid exhaustion of life. But because he was protected by magical artifacts, his qi and blood were consumed more slowly. He just needed to visit Yu Nian at the Taoist temple regularly.
Since sending Yu Nian to the Taoist temple that day, they hadn't seen each other...
Chen Xian coughed softly, reminding Feng Chengyuan, who had been distracted for God knew how many times. "Boss, everyone has finished their reports."
Feng Chengyuan summarized a few problems calmly and walked out of the office. "Chen Xian, arrange my schedule. I'll go to the Qingxin Taoist Temple tomorrow morning."
Chen Xian scratched his head. "Boss, I'm afraid that won't work tomorrow. Mrs. Yu passed away a few days ago, and they've invited you to the funeral."
Feng Chengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Yu Qihuai?" His steps paused. "What's his relationship with Yu Nian..."
Chen Xian nodded. After learning that Yu Nian had saved Feng Chengyuan, he had thoroughly investigated Yu Nian's information. He was surprised to find that Yu Nian was the daughter of the film and television tycoon Yu Qihuai who had been lost back then, and this was no longer a secret in the entertainment circle.
"Yu Nian is his daughter. But after Yu Nian got lost back then, he didn't bother to look for her. Instead, he and his wife went to the orphanage to adopt a girl and named her Yu Qinghe."
When the Yu family's car stopped outside the Qingxin Taoist Temple, Yu Nian was changing the water for the old turtle in the temple.
The butler, Liu Siping, waited and waited in the courtyard. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He looked at Yu Nian coldly. "Miss, it's getting late. If you're any later, the master will be unhappy."
After saying that, a smug look flashed across his face. By bringing up Yu Qihuai, wouldn't Yu Nian rush to curry favor with him?
Everyone in the circle knew how little Yu Qihuai cared about his biological daughter, Yu Nian. After Yu Nian's adoptive parents passed away, she had come to recognize her relatives. But the Yu couple, afraid that their second daughter, Yu Qinghe, would be unhappy, gave Yu Nian some money and sent her away, making Yu Nian the butt of everyone's jokes for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Yu's will clearly stated that her granddaughter Yu Nian must be present, Yu Qihuai would have long forgotten that he had a biological daughter named Yu Nian.
Liu Siping thought he had hit Yu Nian's sore spot. But unexpectedly, Yu Nian turned around, threw a handful of fish food into the fish tank, and gave him a strange look. "I don't care if he's happy or not." After saying that, she ignored him and sat leisurely on the lounge chair, basking in the sun.
Liu Siping was speechless. His face looked a bit ugly.
Could it be that Yu Nian was really heartbroken by her biological parents and had completely changed her personality?
Thinking of the strict order Yu Qihuai had given him before he set off: If necessary, knock the girl out and carry Yu Nian back!
As soon as Liu Siping took a step forward, Ming Mingzhong and He Zhiping beside Yu Nian picked up their benches and stared at him warily. "What are you doing?"
Liu Siping felt a bit embarrassed, but his hand on his side clenched into a fist. He cursed silently. Good for you, Yu Nian. You're really pushing your luck. Do you really think you're some kind of precious heiress?
Once Yu Nian returned to the Yu family, he would surely say a few "nice words" about Yu Nian in front of Yu Qihuai!
A sad look appeared on Liu Siping's face. "Miss, today is Mrs. Yu's funeral. She's your own grandmother. Don't you remember? She raised you herself before you got lost. Even on her deathbed, all she could talk about was your name..." Liu Siping paused, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Moreover, Miss Yu Qinghe misses you very much and is eager to get to know her sister."
