Gloom replaced the expression on Fu Yunian’s face as he fixed his eyes on the hand wrapped around Su Yu’s waist. Jaw clenched, he asked, “Who is he?”
Su Yu sighed internally. Last time, it was Chen misunderstood as her sugar daddy. And now Lingan?
Crap. Whatever.
Su Lingan cut in, “I’m one of her admirers. Don’t think for a second that no one’s shooting their shot after she’s left you. You’re d*mn wrong!”
When Su Yu almost giggled, Su Lingan pinched her waist, shooting her a glance and hoping she’d not let the cat out of the bag.
Lingan and his role-playing? Her admirer? Well, if their father had known what happened, he’d have shown Lingan hell, for sure.
“That’s enough. I’m taking Yu to dinner. Excuse us.” Su Lingan thought Fu Yunian would make way for them, but the last thing he’d expected was him offering to tag along. A thick-skinned move.
Su Yu raised her brows. “Interesting. Instead of going after Chu Yaoyao, you’re ing with us? So what, no more me being revolting?”
Su Lingan nodded in unison. He couldn’t piece together what Fu Yunian was scheming. Could it be another conspiracy to get back together with his sister and continue wreaking havoc to feed his bottomless narcissism supply?
“Mr. Fu,” Su Lingan wore a grim face. “Ever heard of the basis of first e, first served in the gentlemen’s code? If Ms. Su were in her right mind, she wouldn’t have agreed on going out with her ex-husband to dinner now, would she? You’re being overconfident.”
While the rubberneckers all thought the three of them got caught up in a love triangle, Fu Yunian couldn’t care less what they were thinking. He looked straight into Su Yu’s eyes. “Ah, remember I was in Zhoushan two days back then? And…”
Su Yu cut him off, shooting him a warning glare. “Aren’t you hungry? Let’s go, dummies.” She did a 180, consenting to his ing along to dinner.
Su Lingan didn’t prehend the exchange—something secretive was going on between his sister and her ex-husband. They had e to an implied understanding, and none of them would speak about their weird behavior, especially what happened in Zhoushan two days ago. He felt ostracized.
It was awkward as the three sat at a table, not saying a word. Su Lingan tried making small talk, with Su Yu playing it cool. Just as she thought the tension in the room couldn’t get any more awkward, someone pushed the door to the private room open.
A few police officers marched in, and the team leader introduced himself as Officer Qi. “We’ve received a report from Lin Sisi’s parents claiming that she’s gone missing for over two days. According to their statement, the last person their daughter saw was Ms. Su and Mr. Fu, so we need you to e down to the station to record your statements.”
Like throwing an enormous rock into the lake, it caused an immense reaction.
“Lin Sisi’s missing?” Su Yu stood up, perplexed. It wasn’t possible—she sent Su Xiaozhi to check on the family and confirmed that they’d arrived home safe. Since Xiaozhi would never pull a trick on her, did it mean something terrible happened to the girl afterward?
Something twisted deep in her heart. She turned to Fu Yunian, only to meet his gaze.
“What’s going on, Yu? Why didn’t you tell me?” Su Lingan asked sternly.
