In the courtyard, after some time spent under Fu Yuling’s care, it had become quite appealing. Although it was nearing autumn, the plants she had grown were thriving.
Particularly, a large unknown tree grew along the wall. Its trunk extended into the center of the yard, where a cat was napping on its branches and two chickens scratching at the ground beneath it.
The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
He An had already run over to He Wen and the others, his eyes occasionally glancing at Xiao Rui. Then they gathered together to talk about something.
Fu Yuling poured some water for the man and asked, “I wonder why you’ve come by?”
She didn’t really believe the words that he was there to help.
Xiao Rui took a sip and explained the reason, “I came to help. Do you need me to do anything?”
“There’s nothing I need from you.”
That was the truth. She had basically finished everything. If she became rich, she wanted to focus on taking care of the children before doing other things.
Xiao Rui had expected this. From their first encounter, he had found her to be quite unique.
“Then call me if you need anything.”
Fu Yuling was curious. “What made you suddenly think of helping me?”
“The boss sent me.”
He replied.
But for some reason, thinking of Li Yan made him recall their time in the hospital. It was so much that he felt a bit uneasy when he mentioned the word “boss”.
Mentioning Li Yan reminded Fu Yuling of the items he had given her last time.
Now with this visit, she wondered if it was also his arrangement.
This “he” was naturally He Jingsi.
Xiao Rui came quickly and left just as fast.
He An slowly walked over and hugged her. Fu Yuling liked it when he did this and lifted him up.
He felt a bit heavy, but his complexion had improved significantly.
“Who is he?”
He An asked curiously.
“A friend.”
He An nodded, processing this information.
“Xiao An has gained weight.”
Fu Yuling rubbed his cheeks, which felt so soft.
In response, He An opened his shirt to reveal his white belly.
“Touch it~”
Fu Yuling found it amusing and lightly pinched it, noting its elasticity.
He An lazily leaned on her shoulder like a well-groomed cat.
“Xiao An is going down. I can’t carry him anymore.”
Hearing that she couldn’t carry him anymore, He An quickly hopped down and used both hands to massage her shoulders.
“Rub it and it won’t hurt anymore.”
“Yeah, rub it and it won’t hurt anymore.”
Fu Yuling affectionately patted his head.
Compared to He An, the other three had locked themselves in their rooms to focus on studying. After chatting with He An for a bit, they went back inside.
As night fell, the atmosphere thickened.
The few people who had escaped from Li Yan’s group slowly approached Fu Yuling’s house.
“Are you sure this is the place?”
“Not sure, but it should be around here.”
This place only had Fu Yuling’s house.
“How did those bastards find out we’ve entered here?”
One of them spat on the ground. His burly body made him look particularly fierce.
“Stop talking. If we don’t complete the mission, we won’t have it easy when we go back.”
The shorter one spoke.
The three of them crouched against the wall, watching the shadows inside, not speaking further.
Inside, Fu Yuling was helping them change their blankets. She only covered them with once their clothes were off, then turned off the lights and snuggled into bed.
The men outside exchanged cold glances after seeing this.
“Whether it’s right or wrong, it all needs to be resolved. It’s better to mistakenly kill than let anyone escape.”
