Having caught a whiff of the sweet aroma of at in its sleep, Toffeecito got up and followed the sll to Shen Xi. It owed at Shen Xi for food.

Li Yuan scooped it up and placed it on his lap before whipping out so catnip from the treat bag. Imdiately drawn by the catnip, the little good-for-nothing forgot all about the at.

Shen Xi glanced at Toffeecito. Jeez, what a clingy cat.

Li Yuan explained with a smile. “It’s feeling insecure to be in an unfamiliar environnt. Toffeecito refuses to go anywhere but on my lap, afraid that I might ditch it.”

The little thing was a smart one!

Shen Xi murmured in disdain, “Good for nothing!”

The catnip had Toffeecito purring, but it still managed to find ti in between to whine in protest.

Shen Xi and Li Yuan just took off while Fu Qingli got into the car for a drive ho.

Like a gust of wind, Fu Qingxuan made a dash out of the laboratory. However, Fu Qingxuan was scared witless and turned around to flee as soon as he ca close enough to see the person behind the wheel was Fu Qingli instead of their personal driver.

Fu Qingli opened the car door and caught him in a few strides. If only looks could kill. “Who are you looking for if it’s not ?”

Caught red-handed, Fu Qingxuan wanted to cry. His voice was trembling with fear. “Qingli, let’s talk this through.”

Fu Qingli gritted his teeth and scoffed. “So now you want to talk? What did I tell you? Are my orders a pile of sh*t to you?”

“Manners.” Fu Qingxuan was shaking from head to toe. “Qingli, you shouldn’t speak that way.”

Since Fu Qingli was ticked off by Shen Xi and received a double whammy from Li Yuan, naturally he was looking for soone to blow his steam off.

Fu Qingxuan basically served himself on a silver platter. Unable to fight his way out of it, he begged for rcy. “She has a friend who was injected by so sort of neurotoxin and had been in a coma for two years. She’s only using the laboratory for her own experint. It’s all business.”

Fu Qingli scoffed coldly. His hushed and flat tone indicated his brewing fury. “Is this business or a favor? What right does she have to enter the lab?”

Those worthy to step into the laboratory were the world’s best dical experts. What credentials did she have to proceed with her own experints?

“She… She will sooner or later co to that level.” Fu Qingxuan had no idea how good Shen Xi was as he had not had the ti to go through the video of Shen Xi’s experint. “She said she’s going to enroll in a dical school.”

He and Shen Xi made a promise that she would beco his assistant during the sumr break.

“What about now?” Fu Qingli fought back the urge to give him a beating while keeping his voice lower. “You changed the lab’s entry rules for her. What would the dical staff think of you? How would the dical world think of the Fu family if word ever gets out?”

This was no trivial matter.

Fu Qingxi’s dical Lab was not a place so Tom, Dick, or Harry could storm in to use the facilities and conduct experints.

“Mom!” Unable to take it any longer, Fu Qingxuan yelled for help as he put up a struggle to bolt for the car.

“That’s all you’re good for.” Fu Qingli kicked Fu Qingxuan in the butt while the latter staggered in his footing before making a break for the car door.

With her mind focused on Shen Xi and her safety, Mama Fu had not noticed her sons nearly coming to blows outside. She only turned her head when Fu Qingxuan called out to her. The boy entered the car in a fluster.

“Mom, Qingli hit ,” Fu Qingxuan tattled.

Fu Qingli could roll his eyes to think this spineless coward was his brother.

“What did you do to make your big brother angry?” Mama Fu absent-mindedly enquired.

Fu Qingxuan pulled himself together. “I… Jennifer said you t her. I gave her access to the laboratory, but Qingli said I’ve broken protocol.”

He rushed to check things out the mont he heard that Mom had t with anie. Fu Qingxuan bumped into his brother instead of anie.

Had he known Qingli was here to pick Mom up, Fu Qingxuan would never have co over. He was discovered before he could make a run for it.

“Why is her last na Shen?” Mama Fu had been wondering about this.

“She…” Fu Qingxuan bit his tongue following a chilling look from his brother. He swallowed the pill and lied, “I don’t know. I’m not close with her.”

“What’s her full na?” Mama Fu ignored the tension between the siblings as her sole concern was Shen Xi.

“Shen Xi.” Fu Qingxuan observed his mother’s reaction when he spurted out the na. Mama Fu’s eyes welled up rather quickly.

“Shen Xi.” Mama Fu mumbled repeatedly to herself. Xixi. It was the sa na as her Lil’ Xi.

Fu Qingli blad Fu Qingxuan for this. Fu Qingxuan was out of his mind to bring Shen Xi here.

It would only make things more difficult now that Mom had t Shen Xi. It took a lot of effort on his part to convince his aunt and great-uncle against telling Mom about Shen Xi. Fu Qingli was afraid Mom would be upset and emotional.

Great. Now sh*t hit the fan thanks to this b*stard.

Fretful, Fu Qingxuan heartachingly wiped away her tears. “Don’t cry, Mom. Don’t cry. Please, don’t. We’d definitely find Lil’ Xi.”

If the Su family could find anie, how could they not find their sister too?

“It’s okay.” Mama Fu wiped her tears and stared at Fu Qingxuan to ask another question. “What’s her relationship with Li Yuan?”

Fu Qingxuan shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

anie would never look for him for anything that was not of urgency, and this ti was such an incident. The last ti it happened was when she sent him Li Yuan’s examination report to request a treatnt plan.

During that ti, Fu Qingxuan knew Li Yuan was special to her. However, he did not ask about their relationship.

He discreetly asked Pei Xu if she had a crush or was in a relationship. The latter said she had a crush and advised that it was best he gave up now because his unrequited love would not be reciprocated.

Fu Qingxuan suspected that her crush was likely Li Yuan, also Toffeecito’s dad as ntioned by Pei Xu. Toffeecito was in Li Yuan’s car yesterday.

“Do you have her number?” Mama threw another question.

Fu Qingxuan held his tongue out of fear before firmly shaking his eyes. His eyes were flighty. “No.”

Mama Fu could tell by his reaction that Fu Qingxuan had her number.. She darted a glare at her eldest son. “What are you up to?”
