Chapter 185 Why Do You Always Haunt Me?
Chapter 185 Why Do You Always Haunt Me?
They stood side by side by the bridge railing, overlooking the cityscape of London.
The snow continued to fall heavily, and it just kept snowing.
The two of them stood in the snow, letting the snow fall on their hair.
From this vantage point, you can clearly see every corner of London, from skyscrapers to narrow streets.
Bai Wei suddenly turned her head to look at Fu Shiyue, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and asked softly, "How did you find me?"
However, what she didn't expect was that Fu Shiyue also happened to look at her at that moment. Their eyes met, and the distance between them instantly shortened.
Bai Wei's breath hitched, and her heart seemed to skip a beat. Despite their past interactions, she now didn't know how to respond to him.
Is it Ye Xingran, or Bai Wei's identity...?
It was as if she had been burned by Fu Shiyue's gaze.
Fu Shiyue's gaze was like an invisible force, making it impossible for Bai Wei to escape.
His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see right through her soul. Under his gaze, Bai Wei felt her body gradually stiffen, and even speaking became difficult.
Finally, Fu Shiyue broke the silence, his voice deep: "I said, no matter where you go, I will find you..." These words echoed in the air like a vow.
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Bai Wei's heart as she recalled all the things that had happened between them.
Previously, they both harbored doubts about each other and tested each other.
He already knew what was going on when she tried to get close to him, but he just wanted to play along and see what her true intentions were.
However, he never expected that he would develop such deep feelings for Bai Wei without even realizing it. Now, he finds himself deeply immersed in this relationship, unable to extricate himself.
"Be serious, Fu..."
I wanted to call him by his name, and I called him by his surname, but I didn't know whether to call him President Fu or Fu Shiyue.
Fu Shiyue's voice was extremely hoarse: "What did you call me, Fu...?"
Bai Wei opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't call out that name.
Fu Shiyue pressed closer, slowly approaching Bai Wei and trapping her between himself and the railing. His voice held a seductive undertone, "Call my name, A-Ran..."
She looked up and met Fu Shiyue's burning gaze, a gaze filled with affection, longing, and a hint of caution.
Bai Wei understood what he meant, but she didn't say it aloud.
Fragments of past memories flashed through her mind like a movie, those little things related to the person in front of her, surging into her heart like a tide.
At this moment, the familiar figure standing in front of her gradually overlapped with the shadow in her memory.
“If only…” she murmured softly, as if the hypothetical scenario could come true, “I wish you weren’t Fu Shiyue, not the one who bears the burden of family responsibilities and controls the power of the Fu family.” Her voice was somewhat hoarse.
Then, her gaze slowly fell on the buildings in the distance, and she continued, "And I am not Ye Xingran, whose hands are stained with blood."
As she said those words, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her, a blend of nostalgia for the past and helplessness in the face of reality.
She took a deep breath, as if to calm the turmoil in her heart, and then asked softly, "You know, if neither of us were who we are now, then if our meeting was just an ordinary one, wouldn't there be no so much trouble?"
The question lingered in the air, carrying a touch of sadness and an expectation of another possibility.
"Many things are beyond our control and cannot be changed by our own will. Fate has already decided everything except our birth. Perhaps everything else can be changed."
When Fu Shiyue spoke, the two of them looked at each other.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, swirling down on them. Fu Shiyue raised his hand and gently brushed the snowflakes off Bai Wei's shoulder, his gaze never leaving her face. "Even if fate is sealed, I want to break free from these shackles with you."
Bai Wei's heart stirred, and her eyes reddened slightly. "We carry too much on our shoulders."
Fu Shiyue gently pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as if afraid she would disappear if he let go. "I'm not afraid of difficulties, as long as you're by my side. Aran, stop running away from our feelings."
Bai Wei leaned against him, feeling his warmth and strength, and her defenses gradually crumbled. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and, not knowing what else to say, simply replied with one word: "Okay."
"I'll take you back."
The two embraced tightly in the swirling snowflakes, which drifted down like butterflies, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them. Time seemed to stand still at that moment; all the past was left behind, and all the entanglements and helplessness of the past vanished in an instant.
Fu Shiyue gently stroked her hair, feeling her warmth and softness. However, deep within his heart, a voice kept echoing, reminding him of something.
He hesitated, unsure whether he should tell her the truth about Bai Chuhua.
Bai Chuhua's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.
What Fu Shiyue understood even more clearly was that Bai Chuhua's death was likely intricately linked to Bai Yu. In fact, it was highly probable that Bai Yu was the one who caused Bai Chuhua's death.
Bai Yu, the man who once seemed gentle and kind, has now become psychologically twisted. In order to get Bai Wei, he has gradually become crazy.
He not only drugged Bai Wei, but also took her to unfamiliar London and had her imprisoned.
On the one hand, he wanted to protect her from further harm; on the other hand, he felt she had the right to know the truth, no matter how cruel it might be.
Finally, he spoke: "Aran, I have something to tell you about Bai Chuhua... his death may be related to Bai Yu." Bai Wei's body stiffened, and she suddenly lifted her head from his arms, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"What did you say? How could this possibly have anything to do with my brother..." she muttered to herself, her face turning deathly pale.
Fu Shiyue held her hand tightly. "Ever since the news of Bai Chuhua's death was confirmed, I've been investigating. I know it's hard to accept, but all the signs point to Bai Yu..."
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that it's related to my brother?" She looked directly at Fu Shiyue, hoping he could produce evidence to prove whether his father's death was related to his brother.
"I'll tell you when you get back."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the apartment, the commotion had just subsided.
After Ann finished tidying up, she turned and walked towards the kitchen to deliver food to Bai Wei in the room.
She gently pushed open the door and entered the room, only to find it empty.
The bed was made neatly, and the windows were closed; there was no indication that Bai Wei had ever been there.
A sense of foreboding washed over Ann. She quickly put down her plate, turned, and rushed out of the room, shouting as she ran.
"Miss Bai is missing!" Ann's shout startled the other maids.
Everyone panicked and began searching everywhere. Ann then immediately called Bai Yu.
"Mr. Bai, something terrible has happened! Miss Bai is not in her room!"
Upon hearing this news, Bai Yu's face instantly darkened, and he asked in an icy voice, "What's going on? How could you judge people like that!"
The maid, her voice trembling with fear, recounted in detail how she discovered Bai Wei was missing.
Bai Yu hung up the phone, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
He knew that Fu Shiyue had been looking for Bai Wei. Could it be that he took her away?
Bai Yu's eyes turned fierce. He quickly gathered his men and decided that he had to find Bai Wei no matter what.
He couldn't let Fu Shiyue take Bai Wei away. Even if it cost him everything, he would keep Bai Wei by his side. Even if Bai Wei hated him, she could only be his.
A sudden, intense sense of unease washed over Bai Yu; he felt something was amiss. So, he decided to turn on the security camera he had installed in his apartment to check the situation.
When he opened the monitoring software, he was surprised to find that the camera had been tampered with! This made his heart race, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
"Could it be that Fu Shiyue has already discovered this place?" Bai Yu muttered to himself, his brows furrowing tightly. He began to recall some recent events, wondering if there had been any slip-ups.
Bai Yu thought about it more and more and felt that he hadn't done anything recently, so Fu Shiyue couldn't possibly be watching him all the time.
Perhaps he never truly believed what he said that day; he was always doubting himself.
He had discovered that Vivi was being hidden in an apartment in London.
"Fu Shiyue, you really are a persistent ghost, you're everywhere I go..."
He really is going against himself in every way.
