Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 109 The Real World: Negotiating Terms

The investigation materials on Su Jinyue that Assistant Lu handed over naturally also included information on Su Jinshi.

Moreover, because the two are siblings, there is quite a bit of information about Su Jinshi.

Su Jinshi was adopted at the age of two. When he was five, his adoptive parents had their own biological daughter. From then on, he was not valued in his adoptive parents' home, and his former status plummeted.

However, the actual situation was not as bad as Su Jinyue had imagined.

Five-year-old Su Jinshi was old enough to understand things and learned from the gossip of her neighbors that she had been adopted.

Su Jinshi was very clever. Although he no longer had the unique favoritism of his adoptive parents, he managed to live a relatively stable life in that family thanks to his intelligence.

Moreover, Su Jinshi also skipped two grades in elementary school and one grade in junior high school thanks to her intelligence.

So even though he is only 15 years old, he is already a first-year high school student.

Given Su Jinshi's intelligence and consistent behavior, he was simply ill; his inner self was definitely not as fragile as he appeared.

Therefore, Fu Cinian asserted that Su Jinshi was simply putting on a pitiful act in front of Su Jinyue!

Fu Cinian looked at Su Jinyue, who was still comforting Su Jinshi with a pained expression. Clearly, she had been blinded by family affection and was being completely manipulated by Su Jinshi!

"Sister, the attending physician has examined me these past few days and said that my condition is stable and I can be discharged. I just need to come back for regular check-ups."

Su Jinshi stepped out of Su Jinyue's arms and asked cautiously, "Sister, can I live with you?"

"Really?!" Su Jinyue was overjoyed to learn that his condition had stabilized, but she was also tempted and hesitant when she heard his request to live together.

The reason she was tempted was that Su Jinyue's purpose in coming here was to find an opportunity to use the gene serum on Su Jinshi.

But if Su Jinshi can be discharged from the hospital for a period of time, she can pretend to have found a traditional Chinese medicine formula and then give him the gene serum.

Once he's fully recovered, and some time has passed before he comes back to the hospital for a check-up, we can say that the traditional Chinese medicine worked. This way, it won't seem abrupt, and it's more reliable.

Su Jinyue hesitated because it wasn't that she didn't want to live with Su Jinshi; Fu Cinian's large apartment also had rooms, but even she was supported by Fu Cinian, so she couldn't ignore Fu Cinian's feelings.

However, looking at Su Jinshi's pitiful yet expectant eyes, she really couldn't bear to refuse.

"Jinshi, you should eat first, otherwise the food will get cold. I'll ask your doctor later, and if you can really be discharged, I'll take you home, okay?"

Watching Su Jinshi eat obediently, Su Jinyue pretended to go out to ask the doctor, and then pulled Fu Cinian out of the ward.

Su Jinyue pulled Fu Cinian along the corridor until they reached a less crowded area before stopping.

She turned around, slipped into Fu Cinian's trench coat, wrapped her arms around his waist, and called out in a drawn-out, ingratiating tone, "Husband~~"

Fu Cinian: "..."

He knew she would come and bother him!

Fu Cinian pretended not to understand what Su Jinyue meant and asked her with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

Su Jinyue was furious. He had clearly heard everything, yet he still made her say it out loud!

Su Jinyue silently thought to herself, "This is a sugar daddy; I can't afford to offend him right now..."

Once she regained her composure, Su Jinyue smiled and looked at Fu Cinian with the gaze one would give a god.

"Honey~, Jinshi is my only family, the one I depend on for survival. If he can be discharged from the hospital, could he stay at home for a while? I promise, he won't bother you!..."

Fu Cinian lowered his eyes and looked at Su Jinyue, who was pretending to be innocent and pitiful. They really were siblings; their methods of deceiving people were exactly the same.

However, he seemed to really fall for this, of course, only with Su Jinyue.

Even though he had softened his heart, Fu Cinian didn't intend to agree to her request easily, after all, he was a businessman.

"But your brother calls me uncle."

Su Jinyue was taken aback, then understood and explained, "Jinshi hasn't met you before. This is our first meeting, and he was just being polite and respectful!"

"So, you also think he's right? You also think I'm too old?"

Su Jinyue was both amused and exasperated. How did the topic of age come up?

Honestly, she really didn't care about any of that. Fu Cinian was 10 years older than her, but she was doing it willingly.

Besides, He Shiyan from the interstellar world is almost 20 years older than her, but she didn't mind.

Seeing that Fu Cinian was getting increasingly unhappy, Su Jinyue quickly coaxed him, "Honey, you're not old at all! I love you the most! You're the most charming and handsome right now. Even in a crowd, you're the most dazzling..."

Fu Cinian felt quite comfortable with Su Jinyue's flattery. Although it was somewhat exaggerated, he took it as Su Jinyue being infatuated with him and adding to his charm.

Seeing Fu Cinian's expression soften, Su Jinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected that someone like Fu Cinian would have age anxiety.

It seems she'll have to be more careful in the future!

"Honey~, Jinshi is still young and doesn't understand things, so please don't hold it against him." Seeing that he wasn't angry anymore, Su Jinyue quickly brought the topic back to the main point.

Fu Cinian finally reached out and hugged Su Jinyue back, saying helplessly, "I don't believe you can't tell that he did it on purpose."

Su Jinyue asked in surprise, "You knew?"

Fu Cinian raised an eyebrow, realizing that Su Jinyue could be clever at times. He then recounted Su Jinshi's provocations to him.

Su Jinyue suddenly realized: "So that's what you're angry about?"

"Then what do you think I did it for? I'm not going to get angry with a child."

But what you're doing right now doesn't seem very noble, does it?

Su Jinyue may have her grievances, but she dared not argue with him anymore.

“Fu Cinian, I know Jinshi’s behavior is wrong, but he has just been abandoned by his adoptive parents and is feeling uneasy. He is too dependent on me, his older sister.”

Once he spends more time with us and feels safe, I believe he will change for the better.

"You're a magnanimous person, so please don't hold it against him, okay?"

Fu Cinian was somewhat reluctant, but he seemed to be persuaded by Su Jinyue's words.

Seeing that things were looking promising, Su Jinyue quickly pressed her advantage: "Honey, just say yes! I'll do whatever you say from now on!"

Fu Cinian asked with a hint of disbelief, "Really?"

Su Jinyue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it really is, it's more real than gold!"

“Then…” Fu Cinian smiled and whispered something in Su Jinyue’s ear.

Upon hearing Fu Cinian's conditions, Su Jinyue's ears turned bright red, and she looked up at him in disbelief.

Fu Cinian didn't speak, but looked at Su Jinyue with a leisurely air, though the hand holding her slender waist moved suggestively.

Su Jinyue's face quickly flushed red, and she nodded as if she had made up her mind.
