Chapter 139 Dad is going on a business trip~
Fu Ziyan was overjoyed at the poker table because of Xia Zhenzhen's fangirl-like remarks, with various reactions ranging from dullness, surprise, and silence. "Since Ah Zhen trusts me so much, I will definitely do my best!"
Xia Zhenzhen, wearing a halter dress, her twinkling eyes brighter than the lights in the room, looked at Fu Ziyan, "Come on, Selene, kill Harlan without a single trace left!"
Fu Ziyan took her seat with a smile. With such a fangirl like her, she would definitely do her best.
"Selene, want some?" Harlan leaned against the backrest, his head slightly tilted, and the corners of his eyes raised.
Fu Ziyan rested her hands on the card table, her chin slightly raised, her eyes bright and full of fighting spirit.
"Come!"
When two armies play chess, the most important thing is to attack the enemy's heart. It may seem like they are unstoppable, but in fact, each side will win or lose.
The stakes on both sides fluctuated, and more and more friends gathered around.
Perhaps because of her friends' encouragement, Fu Ziyan had great luck in playing cards tonight.
Until the final round, Fu Ziyan calmly won the victory and stopped, "I don't want to play anymore. I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. My luck for today has run out."
There was a burst of cheers all around. Harlan pushed his chips forward, his eyes burning, "Then we'll fight again next time."
Fu Ziyan nodded, then pointed at the pile of chips. The sapphire on her wrist shone brightly under the light. She looked at her friends gathered around the card table, laughed loudly, and said in a clear voice, "I have lived up to everyone's expectations and returned the jade intact."
"Wow~"
"Selene is so generous!"
Winning or losing is just the same. People in this circle certainly don’t lack this little money, but they are still very happy when they can win it back.
Xia Zhenzhen, who had been standing beside Fu Ziyan the entire time since she took her seat, excitedly hugged her and left a bright lip print on her cheek. "Selene, you're amazing. I love you!"
Fu Ziyan was helpless, "I love you too. But Ah Zhen, remember to wipe off the lip marks for me. I don't want to be in the newspaper."
Xia Zhenzhen smiled and raised her hand to assure him, "Of course, of course, Selene, don't worry, I won't let the Hong Kong people gossip about you!"
The whole room burst into laughter, and everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Xu Tingyang.
Last week's entertainment newspaper featured a story about Xu San Shao and his girlfriend enjoying a night out at Victoria Harbour, along with a striking photo of a face with lipstick marks. Although Fu Ziyan was confined to her home, she still read all the news and gossip.
Xu Tingyang enjoyed the fruit his new girlfriend fed him, not caring about the teasing. After everyone had finished laughing, he spoke up, "Selene, feel free to have fun. I've got people squatting near the hotel. No entertainment reporter will dare to take secret photos tonight."
Fu Ziyan enjoyed Xia Zhenzhen's facial wiping service and said with a smile, "I can't just play around without the entertainment reporter. I just got released from house arrest and want to play more outside. Don't cheat me."
Xu Tingyang raised his hand and beckoned the waiter to bring a fruit plate to Fu Ziyan, saying with a smile, "I wouldn't dare. Come, I'll apologize to you right away. Today's watermelon ice bowl tastes good, please accept it, Selene."
"..."
Everyone played for a while, put away the Texas Hold'em and put out other card games, and the party lasted until nearly eleven o'clock.
Take the boat back to the other side and then drive to Barker Road.
When I got home, it was only ten minutes before twelve o'clock.
Fu Ziyan looked at her watch and thought to herself, what a close call, it was almost curfew time at twelve o'clock.
The light in Fu Qiyuan's study was still on. Fu Ziyan poked her head in, ready to report to her father that she had returned home on time.
She saw her father speaking fluent German on the phone with a serious voice and a calm expression.
Seeing Titi, Fu Qiyuan's expression softened and he waved for his daughter to come in.
Fu Ziyan sat quietly on the sofa in the study, listening to her father and the person on the other end of the phone talking about the project of Fu's Industrial's port company in the Port of Hamburg, Germany.
Not long after, Fu Qiyuan ended the call and looked at his daughter who was sitting obediently on the sofa waiting for him. He said softly, "Dad has a meeting at the company tomorrow morning and will fly to Europe this afternoon to discuss an acquisition. I can't take you back to school."
Fu Ziyan had anticipated this. Her father's schedule was already busy, but he had come home every day to accompany her in the past twenty days. It was time for him to go on a business trip. She smiled and said, "I can do it myself. Dad, go on your business trip with peace of mind. Remember to bring me a gift when you come back~"
"Are you okay at home by yourself? Do you want to move to the old house?"
Fu Ziyan shook her head and refused. "There's a lot to do at the beginning of the school term, and the old house is too far from the school. Besides, there are so many bodyguards at home, I'll be fine!"
"Okay, then tell Grandpa if you have anything to say." Fu Qiyuan had no objection, but he couldn't miss the necessary instructions. "Remember to eat on time, don't eat too many snacks before meals, and be sure to bring bodyguards with you when you go out..."
Fu Ziyan hurriedly stopped him and replied with a smile, "I will be good, don't worry, Dad!"
Fu Qiyuan was helpless. "Okay, okay, you promised it yourself. It's getting late, go to bed."
"Good night, Dad~" His voice was cheerful and there was no sign of fatigue on his face.
Listening to his daughter's brisk footsteps, Fu Qiyuan laughed and shook his head, guessing that the child wanted to do something bad while he was away on a business trip.
He is still a child after all!

Fu Ziyan was indeed very happy.
Although she likes her father to be at home with her, she also likes him to go on business trips occasionally.
Fried chicken, French fries, barbecue, instant noodles, spicy strips...
She can have the happiness of "junk food" for a short time~
The result of being too excited before going to bed is that my mind is full of thoughts and I can't calm down. I toss and turn several times before I finally fall asleep.
Fu Ziyan slept late the night before and was woken up by A Hong at 7 o'clock the next day to go to school. She was in a daze and told A Hong with blurry eyes, "Make me a cup of coffee with more milk and sugar." School started today. As the president of the student union, she had several meetings to attend and could not stay sleepy all the time.
"Okay, Miss." After years of care, Ah Hong understood her young lady's living habits very well and went to the kitchen to instruct her on how to prepare the food.
Although Fu Ziyan disliked coffee because it was bitter and would only drink it when she was extremely sleepy, the Fu family's kitchen still ground coffee beans and prepared the right amount of sugar and fresh milk every morning.
Fu Ziyan can't stand the bitter taste of coffee, but coffee is indeed very effective for her when she feels sleepy.
At least this cup of coffee kept her energetic for the whole morning, allowing her to arrange department meetings and the opening ceremony in an orderly manner.
Most of the people who attended the party last night were in a depressed mood, but Fu Ziyan, who looked full of energy, was particularly special.
Fu Ziyan: ...
