Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 545: Please Don’t Push Me Away

Fu Qinglun wanted to take Lin Shiyu home.

“Brother Qinglun,” Rong’rong called him again.

Lin Shiyu retracted her wrist slowly but with a firm stance. “Young Master Fu, I’ll head home myself, you can go ahead with whatever you’re busy with.”

She prepared to leave.

Fu Qinglun didn’t move, he stood in the spot, watching her disappear from his sight.

…

Lin Shiyu walked along the streets, she didn’t hail a cab since the hospital was pretty close to her apartment. She treated it as a short stroll outdoors.

It was approaching winter and she had worn a black coat. The collars were flipped up and covered her jaw. She exhaled a steamy breath and lifted her eyes, looking at the night view.

She heard a string of footsteps, there seemed to be someone following her from behind.

She turned back and noticed a man following her. He had put on a cap and thus she couldn’t figure out who it was.

Lin Shiyu’s heart palpitated, she had experienced an episode with the pervert at the hot spring previously and now she has encountered yet another pervert again?

She sped up and walked faster.

A Bentley stopped beside her.

Lin Shiyu turned her head, the window wound down and a handsome face appeared. It was Fu Qinglun.

Fu Qinglun looked at her, his lips moved. “Shi’shi, get in.”

Now that there was a pervert stalking her, Lin Shiyu didn’t have the time to be coy. She opened the passenger’s seat door and got in the car.

The Bentley sped away.

Lin Shiyu looked in the rearview mirror, the man wearing the cap had already left.

Lin Shiyu frowned, the thought of being stalked by such perverts in her daily life irked her.

Fu Qinglun’s gaze sharpened and he was shrewd enough to see the man behind. He didn’t make it obvious though, he remained straight-faced and said, “Shi’shi, I’ll assign a bodyguard to protect you from tomorrow onwards.”

Lin Shiyu turned her head, looking at the man beside her. He held onto the steering wheel firmly as the neon lights in the city had shone on his face. It was hard for anyone to not be attracted to him.

“Young Master Fu, thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Mrs Fu.”

Mrs Fu.

He still addressed her as Mrs Fu.

Lin Shiyu looked away, looking outside the windows. She noticed that they weren’t on the way to her apartment. “Young Master Fu, where are you taking me?”

Fu Qinglun remained straight-faced, he didn’t even stutter. “Your safety is compromised if you head back to your apartment right now. I’ll take you to my apartment right now, the security is stricter and no suspicious figures are allowed in.”

Stay in his apartment?

Lin Shiyu promptly rejected him. “No…”

Fu Qinglun twisted his head around, looking at her. The corners of his lips quirked up into a sardonic smile. “Shi’shi, don’t worry, I’m not asking you to sleep with me.”

Lin Shiyu paused for a moment.

He continued. “It’s a vacant apartment of mine, I won’t be staying there, so you can rest assured and just stay there for as long as you want.”

He had many properties under his name and normally stayed in his villas instead of his apartments.

Lin Shiyu gave it some thought, she decided not to reject him any longer.

There wasn’t much use for her to reject him since they were almost reaching his apartment anyway.

…

The Bentley stopped downstairs and Fu Qinglun passed a set of keys over to Lin Shiyu. “Shi’shi, take this.”

Lin Shiyu stretched over to receive the keys.

But she didn’t manage to get it, since Fu Qinglun suddenly raised his arm.

He was teasing her.

He had twisted his body around and faced her. They were alone in the car, a dimly lit environment and he looked at her tenderly. Seeing that she didn’t manage to catch the keys, he was pleased and entertained by it.

Lin Shiyu retracted her hand, turning around to open the car door.

She wanted to alight from the car.

But a muscular arm came from behind, grasping her slim waist. Fu Qinglun had hugged her from behind.

He had encircled his arms around her, Lin Shiyu lowered her eyelashes as she was hugged by him. He continued to bury his face in her neck, lowering his head and kissing her hair.

The car was totally silent, so much so that their breathing and heartbeats could be heard.

That hug felt so good, he didn’t want to let go of her at all.

Lin Shiyu moved about, wanting to get out of his embrace. “Fu Qinglun, let go of me.”

Fu Qinglun planted kisses on her hair, her ears and his voice was a little hoarse, he sounded tired. “Shi’shi, I haven’t slept for days.

“I actually tried to sleep but I just can’t, when I close my eyes, many things will pop up in my mind. I tend to overthink when that happens and so I just keep my eyes open and wait for daybreak.”

He didn’t say much, he simply wasn’t the type of man who was expressive. He expressed himself with succinct sentences that were to the point.

His voice was husky as he told her the truth. He sounded a little sad, a little aggrieved and he… purred at her.

Lin Shiyu stopped resisting. The dim lights had landed on her beautiful face and her expression was unknown.

Fu Qinglun was the overlord of Karghalik and appeared to be puffed up with conceit, seemingly difficult to please.

But once a woman managed to win his heart, he would be like a husky, needy and not able to be away from its owner. He would have unfaltering loyalty.

Fu Qinglun’s muscles tensed up, he held her body tighter in his arms. “Shi’shi, just let me hug you for a while, I just need some sleep.”

He then laughed. “Don’t push me away, just a few minutes will do. I just need a few minutes of sleep.”

He buried his face in her neck, sniffing her body scent and closed his eyes slowly.

Was he asleep?

He was probably asleep.

Lin Shiyu could hear his deep breathing, the wisp of warmth on her neck. His clean, masculine scent had invoked her goosebumps.

Lin Shiyu didn’t move, she allowed him to sleep while hugging her.

But a ringtone sounded. Fu Qinglun had an incoming phone call.

The ringtone broke the silence in the car, waking Fu Qinglun up from his sleep.

He opened his eyes. He was still fine without closing his eyes but once he closed them, his eyes turned bloodshot and he appeared very tired.

Noticing that he had woken up, Lin Shiyu tried to move out of his arms but to no avail. He held onto her with one arm and prevented her from moving away, while the other hand was in his trouser pocket and he whipped out his cell phone.

“Hello.”

He continued hugging her while he was on the phone, even leaning his head on her shoulder.

Rong’rong was on the other end of the phone call. “Hello, Brother Qinglun, can you make a trip over? Mom is crying again, I’m also depressed looking at her, can you please come?”
