Chapter 86: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry

   Chapter 86: What Do You Want  


She gazed at Fu Shimo with pleading eyes. “Director Fu, could you... could you...”  


Could you stay here? That way, her husband wouldn’t have to suffer so much.  


Her voice choked with emotion, and she was on the verge of breaking down. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words.  


She couldn’t do this—it was too selfish. If Director Fu stayed here indefinitely, what about the other patients in Haishi who needed him?  

But... she truly didn’t know what else to do. How could she just stand by and watch her husband endure such torment right before her eyes?  


“I... I...”  


The mayor’s wife covered her face with her hands, overwhelmed by guilt. Her voice was hoarse and trembling.  


Fu Shimo remained unaffected by her tears. His face was as composed and cold as ever. “This matter can be resolved.”  


—If anything strange happens, you can come to me.  


The words Yan Zhixu had spoken before getting out of the car echoed in his mind.  


It seemed that the little one had already noticed something unusual back then.  


—  


Back at the hotel Lu Xun had booked.  


Yan Zhixu removed her makeup and changed into a simple white nightgown she had brought from Haishi. The lightweight fabric accentuated her tall, slender figure.  


After casually applying some toner, she slipped into her slippers and was about to crawl into bed.  


Her phone suddenly rang.  


She glanced at the unfamiliar number and, without hesitation, swiped to answer.  


“Little one.”  


A deep, husky male voice came through the phone, rich and magnetic, enough to make hearts flutter.  


“Director Fu.”  


Holding her phone, Yan Zhixu strolled onto the balcony and leaned lazily against the railing, glancing up at the faint starlight in the night sky.  


She curved her lips into a slight smile. “Encountered something strange already?”  


Her right hand rested casually on the railing, swinging idly.  


“Need help?”  


“Mm.”  


“But if I lend a hand, I’ll ask for compensation.”

“What do you want?”  


Yan Zhixu’s dangling hand paused as her mind flashed to the image of his hands—perfectly sculpted, flawless, like a work of art.  


After a moment’s thought, she said, “Haven’t decided yet. Let’s discuss it in person.”  


After all, asking for compensation required face-to-face interaction. If she said too much over the phone and scared him off, that wouldn’t do.  


Without any hesitation, Fu Shimo replied, “Alright.”  


His voice was calm and cool, devoid of any discernible emotion.  


But perhaps it was just an illusion—Xiao Wang thought he saw Director Fu’s lips twitch into a faint smile just now.  


When he looked again, there was nothing. Director Fu’s cold and distant demeanor remained, like an unapproachable celestial being. Even without trying, he exuded an air of detachment.  


After ending the call, Yan Zhixu sent him her location.  


“Tch, troublesome.”  


She glanced at her nightgown, pursed her lips, and quickly pulled out a white T-shirt and denim jeans to change into.  


Grabbing a white baseball cap, she put it on, skipped the mask, and walked straight out the door.  


Ten minutes later, a Hongqi car pulled up in front of the hotel.  


Yan Zhixu came downstairs, glanced at the license plate, and stepped forward to open the car door.  


She climbed in and found someone already seated in the back.  


He had changed out of his lab coat and was wearing the same outfit he had worn earlier at the airport. His cool and aloof demeanor made it hard to reconcile him with the man who had shown a fleeting, fiery intensity in the airplane restroom.  


“...”  


Seeing that she wasn’t wearing a mask, Fu Shimo’s brows furrowed slightly.  


Just as Xiao Wang was about to start the car, Fu Shimo placed a hand on the door handle and decisively stepped out of the car. “Wait a minute.”
