Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 294 - 268: That’s Just How My Skin Is

Ji Sang remained silent for a long time, so Ji Hanwen knew she probably wasn’t clear on the matter either.

"Find a time for you and Xiao Fu to come home."

For the Ji Family’s side, he had already found a suitable professional manager. However, in his absence, the person who would directly deal with the professional manager would be Fu Yisi.

He wanted them to meet before he left.

Ji Sang agreed.

What she didn’t expect was that just as she hung up the phone, Ye Lin called as well, and her request was similar—she wanted them to come home.

It was probable that Fu Jue also thought Fu Yisi was considering taking over, or perhaps, this action was something father and son had previously agreed upon.

Ji Sang agreed to this as well.

After finishing these two calls, Ji Sang fell into deep thought. Initially, she hadn’t thought too much about it, only considering whether this event would make him busier than before. She hadn’t considered what kind of message this behavior was sending.

But why? If he really wanted to return to the Fu Family, then why had Fu Yisi, who had been at a deadlock with his family over this issue a year ago, changed his mind so quickly?

Unable to figure it out, Ji Sang decided to put the matter aside for now.

She planned to return to the television station for a few days before her trip to the South Sea.

...

At Jiangcheng Police Station, after completing an autopsy, Captain Lei asked Fu Yisi about some points of doubt.

"If we can’t crack this case soon, I’ll have to take off this uniform."

The body Fu Yisi had examined was the victim of the serial case.

The man obviously wasn’t concerned about the progress of the case; he only asked one question:

"When does Li Lei’s detention end?"

Captain Lei was taken aback, as the recent focus on this case had somewhat caused him to overlook Li Lei’s situation. After thinking for a long time, it was finally Qiming who spoke:

"The day after tomorrow."

Fu Yisi’s expression didn’t look too good, and Captain Lei was aware of it, after all, it was related to Ji Sang’s safety.

"No mention of the person behind this?"

Captain Lei shook his head.

No matter how much he asked, he couldn’t get the identity of the person behind it.

"He must truly not know."

Fu Yisi’s lips curled coldly.

"Cui Yi’s whereabouts?"

The man’s tone was somewhat cold, and there was an assertiveness in his words that made Captain Lei feel a bit strange.

Hiss—Wasn’t Fu Yisi a doctor? Why did he speak so decisively, as if he had the demeanor of a domineering CEO?

But the captain didn’t dwell on it.

"We found a departure record for Cui Yi leaving the country."

Cui Yi, an ordinary salaryman living a calm and quiet life, why would he suddenly take an extended leave and go abroad? This confirmed that there was indeed something fishy about the matter.

Although Li Lei had been unwilling to speak, his various reactions showed that there was indeed some cooperation between him and Cui Yi.

There was no doubt about that.

Now the question that remained unclear was why the person behind the scenes did not harm Ji Sang this time.

What were their intentions?

Captain Lei pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling confused by the tangle of high society affairs and thinking it was beyond his understanding and involvement—all he could do was perform his own job well.

These things were of no value to Fu Yisi.

After Li Lei’s detention ends, the police station would no longer have the right to follow up on his whereabouts.

Of course, Captain Lei was also well aware that given the degree of concern Fu Yisi had for Ji Sang, there was no way they could ignore such a significant hidden danger as Li Lei.

But that was not for them to handle.

As long as it was not illegal. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

After leaving the police station, Fu Yisi made a phone call.

...

When they returned to Yujing Apartment, it was almost eleven o’clock. After Ji Sang received a call from Fu Yisi informing her of his arrival time, she timed it just right to go upstairs and run a hot bath for him.

The temperature in S city had already started to drop, and when Fu Yisi walked through the door, he brought a chill with him.

Ji Sang handed him a cup of hot tea immediately, frowning,

"You should have worn one more layer of clothing."

Fu Yisi took off his coat, and Ji Sang reached out to take it from him, but he raised his hand to stop her from touching it.

"I’m cold, darling, stay away from me for now."

After Fu Yisi warmed up his body with a sip of hot tea and rubbed his hands together to generate heat, he no longer felt as cold as when he had arrived and then went up to hold Ji Sang in his embrace.

Ji Sang didn’t ask about the police station; instead, she gently patted his back,

"I’ve drawn a bath for you; go take a shower and warm up."

Fu Yisi’s eyebrows moved slightly,

"Mrs. Fu is being so considerate?"

Ji Sang just smiled at him without saying a word.

The man also didn’t delay, going straight upstairs to get ready for a wash. At the top of the stairs, he suddenly coughed a few times.

Ji Sang’s brows creased with concern, and she quickly went to the kitchen to make ginger soup for Fu Yisi. Since Fu Yisi was a doctor, they always had a medical kit at home, and Ji Sang found some cold medicine as well. She took out both the pill and powder forms.

So, when Fu Yisi came out of the bath, he was confronted with the three musketeers:

Ginger soup, pills, and powder.

At first, Fu Yisi was a bit taken aback, but then remembering the few coughs at the staircase, he looked slightly resigned,

"Isn’t this a bit too much?"

"Right now, your immune system is weaker, so we’re taking medicine and drinking ginger soup just to be cautious."

Ji Sang had a stern look on her face that could be somewhat intimidating at a glance.

Fu Yisi simply complied with her and drank the ginger soup and the powdered medicine under her watchful gaze.

"Drinking these two should be enough; medicines are not without their side effects."

Ji Sang agreed to a point, so she didn’t insist on Fu Yisi continuing with the medication.

"I’ll dry your hair for you"

Usually, Fu Yisi would just towel dry his hair to a semi-dry state and call it done.

Ji Sang was worried that he might catch a cold, and she also wanted to use this opportunity to talk to Fu Yisi about going to the South Sea.

The sound of the hairdryer filled the room, and as Fu Yisi’s hair was nearly dry, Ji Sang still hadn’t spoken.

In the vanity mirror, her expression seemed distracted. As Fu Yisi’s hair was quite short, Ji Sang would consciously use her hand to shield his head from the heat to avoid scalding him.

But she got lost in thought and accidentally brought her hand too close to the nozzle, burning her finger.

"Hisss—"

Ji Sang let out a soft hiss and instinctively flicked her hand away, but Fu Yisi quickly caught her wrist to prevent her from hitting the wall.

"Let me see."

Fu Yisi’s face tensed slightly, and his concern was evident. Ji Sang had come back to her senses and, seeing Fu Yisi’s reaction, she started to laugh.

"It’s fine, it just burnt for a second, it’s nothing now."

The man pursed his lips in disapproval and took her hand no matter what.

Even though it was just a brief scald, Ji Sang’s skin was too delicate, and almost the entire back of her hand had turned red.

It looked quite shocking.

"This is ’nothing’?"

Fu Yisi’s voice sounded sharp.

Ji Sang touched her nose and muttered softly,

"You know how it is with my skin; it just looks worse than it is."

Fu Yisi went downstairs to get the burn ointment and silently applied it to Ji Sang’s hand.

His lowered brows and eyes softened.

Ji Sang’s heart stirred, and she softly spoke out about her trip to the South Sea.
