Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 642 - 639: He Saw Her Coming Out of the Pharmacy

Chapter 642: Chapter 639: He Saw Her Coming Out of the Pharmacy

The man wasn’t dressed formally, a blue jacket, dark casual pants, one hand casually tucked into his pocket, looking like a proud and aloof young noble.

Wen Yuci only exchanged a glance with him before hurriedly looking away.

The events of last night, now that she thought about them, were unbearably awkward.

She didn’t care about what he might think of her, as she lowered her long lashes and walked away from him.

Fu Yunshen likewise didn’t give Wen Yuci another glance, as if nothing had happened between them last night.

When Cheng Yingying saw Fu Yunshen arriving, a smile appeared on her exquisitely made-up face, "Yunshen, you’re here!"

Fu Yunshen responded with a nonchalant hum.

"Wait for me, I’ll come over after I change my clothes."

Soon, Cheng Yingying had changed her clothes, and the two walked outside the photography studio.

Wen Yuci was waiting for her ride when Cheng Yingying saw her and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, do you need a ride from us?"

Wen Yuci looked up at them and replied, "No need."

"Miss Wen, your photography skills are quite impressive. My fiancé and I are soon to have our wedding photos taken. Would you have time to shoot for us?"

Wen Yuci’s heart clenched uncontrollably.

Her beautiful eyes swept towards Fu Yunshen, only to see his handsome face showing no emotion, as if whether she photographed their wedding was of no concern to him.

If it weren’t for the marks on her neck and body, Wen Yuci would have doubted if the person who had been intimate with her last night was just a figment of her imagination.

On this front, she certainly didn’t have the mental fortitude of Fu Yunshen.

Seeing him now was as awkward as awkward could be!

"Sorry, I don’t have time."

She really didn’t have time, nor the inclination!

Besides, if Cheng Yingying ever learned about her and Fu Yunshen’s past, wouldn’t she be disgusted?

Cheng Yingying was about to say something more, but the car Wen Yuci was waiting for arrived.

Wen Yuci opened the car door and bent to sit inside.

After Cheng Yingying got in the car, she sighed and said, "That Miss Wen has pretty good photography skills. It would be nice if she could shoot our wedding photos."

Fu Yunshen lit a cigarette, his chiseled features shrouded in smoke, appearing inscrutable. He glanced at Cheng Yingying, "What are you trying to test?"

Cheng Yingying’s heart skipped a beat.

The dark and profound phoenix eyes behind his glasses seemed as if they could see through everything.

Cheng Yingying bit her lip hard, "Yunshen, I..."

"If you don’t want to go through with the wedding, just say so."

His voice was as indifferent as mountain snow, void of any warmth.

Cheng Yingying’s fingertips clenched tightly into a fist, her face alternating between shades of green and purple.

She looked down, her eyes demure, "I won’t do it again in the future."

Fu Yunshen lowered the car window, his elbow resting on it, as he expressionlessly puffed out smoke.

...

On Wen Yuci’s side.

After driving some distance, Wen Yuci saw a pharmacy not far ahead and instructed the driver to stop.

She didn’t know if he had taken precautions last night, but she was no longer the naïve girl she used to be. No matter what, she had to protect herself.

She couldn’t get pregnant again in a daze.

Wen Yuci walked into the pharmacy and bought a box of contraceptives.

As Wen Yuci exited the pharmacy and got back into the car, she didn’t notice that someone in a Maybach behind her had witnessed the scene.

After Wen Yuci left in the car, Fu Yunshen instructed his driver to stop in front of the pharmacy.

Cheng Yingying, who had been reading a script in the car, hadn’t seen Wen Yuci come out of the pharmacy. Seeing Fu Yunshen suddenly stopping the car at the pharmacy, she asked with concern, "Yunshen, are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Yunshen pursed his cool, thin lips, "I need to buy something. Wait for me in the car."

Fu Yunshen got out of the car.

He entered the pharmacy, tapping his long fingers on the counter, "The woman who just left, what medicine did she buy?"

The cashier was struck by the sight of the man before her, tall and graceful, with an aloof coldness. A hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.

This man was even more handsome and charismatic than the hottest male celebrity of the moment.

Fu Yunshen patiently repeated the question, "The woman who just left, what medicine did she buy?"

The cashier replied with three words.

Contraception pills.

Fu Yunshen’s tongue pressed against his cheek, and he smiled darkly.

She actually bought that kind of medicine!

Did she think he would let her get pregnant?

Did she think he really touched her last night?

With their relationship turned sour, would he touch her carelessly?

Hah!

A mocking and chilling laugh emanated from Fu Yunshen’s throat.

...

Jing Hang’s efficiency in handling matters was swift, and he found the former attending doctor Qiu Suzhen’s lover, Su Hui.

Su Hui provided information about Qiu Suzhen’s hometown.

Qiu Suzhen’s hometown was in a remote mountain village, which was relatively poor and backward.

After learning where Qiu Suzhen’s hometown was, Ming Yao and Wen Yuci immediately set out.

The two drove there, spending nearly more than ten hours.

By the time they arrived at the mountain village, it was already dark, and Ming Yao and Wen Yuci found a small hotel to stay for the night.

The next morning, they got up early and headed to Qiu Suzhen’s hometown.

They could not drive in the mountains, so they had to walk.

When passing by a pond, they found it surrounded by many villagers.

A woman wept heart-wrenchingly, "Can anyone save my daughter? She fell in, is there anyone who can swim?"

Hearing that the woman’s daughter had fallen into the reservoir, Wen Yuci didn’t think twice before running over.

"Where did she fall in?"

The woman pointed to a spot.

Wen Yuci took off her coat and immediately jumped in.

Seeing this, Ming Yao’s brows knitted tightly, "Yuci, be careful!"

After jumping into the water, Wen Yuci swam to the spot where the little girl had fallen, and after groping around for a while, she finally found the girl, who was sinking downwards.

She immediately pulled the girl to the shore.

Ming Yao hurried over and administered first aid to the little girl.

A few minutes later, the little girl regained consciousness.

The woman, who had cried so sorrowfully, saw her child awake and with tearful eyes said, "Thank you, you saved my little girl’s life."

"The weather is cold, take her back quickly."

The woman immediately picked up the little girl and ran towards the house.

Ming Yao and Wen Yuci followed.

But as soon as they entered the main hall, they were stunned.

Hanging in the hall was a portrait, which Wen Yuci recognized—it was Qiu Suzhen.

The woman carried the little girl into the house, changed her clothes, covered her with a blanket, then came out and, seeing Ming Yao and Wen Yuci looking at the portrait in the main hall, a hint of surprise and wariness appeared in her eyes, "Who are you..."

Wen Yuci pointed to Qiu Suzhen’s portrait, "Who is this person to you?"

The woman lowered her eyes, "She was my aunt, she passed away a few years ago."

Passed away?

Wen Yuci felt a chill run through her blood.

Ming Yao surveyed the woman nonchalantly, noting the quality of her clothes and the jewelry she was wearing were not shabby, and her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

The village was clearly very poor and undeveloped, and the villagers they had seen along the way were very simple.

This woman seemed out of place here.

Moreover, the woman appeared to be somewhat nervous and frightened when she saw them looking at Qiu Suzhen’s portrait.
