Fu Qingyun's face darkened.

Thinking of her tired and wandering eyes just now and looking at the luggage on the ground, he had a bad feeling -- Xiao Ning was probably going to run away from home, out of Fu Qingyun's control!

How did it end up like this?

He took a few quick steps and closed the door of the study. He called the butler of the old mansion. "Did madam come to the apartment on time yesterday to see the child?"

The old Butler nodded. "Yes, young master. I accompanied Madam. I was by her side the whole time. Although I didn't say anything, I heard everything that Madam said."

Fu Qingyun asked, "What did she say?"

The old butler said, "Young Master, you know Madam's temper. She's very gentle. She's saying nice things about you. She's saying that you've silently done everything for Miss Ning. She's also saying that you've recently encountered obstacles and rumors in your career... I think that when Miss Ning heard this, she should be moved and take the initiative to mention the engagement with you, right?"

Fu Qingyun:"..."

No matter what engagement was mentioned, she was going to abandon him and run away!

Which part of the plan went wrong?

According to the plan, Mrs. Fu was going to appear. By beating around the bush, a shy and kind-hearted girl like Xiao Ning would definitely accept him out of guilt or gratitude.

Why did Xiao Ning run away from home in the end?

Did he not know her well enough?

Was she even more shy and embarrassed than he imagined about their relationship?

The male hormones in Fu Qingyun's body were surging violently.

He could not wait to have this woman. The urge overcame everything.

"Alright, I got it. Keep this in your stomach. In the future, when Mrs. Fu marries in, you are not allowed to mention anything about today,"he said coldly.

The old Butler nodded vigorously. "I understand, young master."

Fu Qingyun paced in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study. He carefully recalled the series of expressions on Xiao Ning's face since he entered.

The more he thought about it, the more dangerous he felt.

Xiao Ning seemed to be hesitant to speak just now. She was probably going to tell him everything. Furthermore, the timing of the showdown was very likely to be at the breakfast table later!

If he waited for her to speak, everything would be irreversible.

He definitely could not let her go!

But he also knew very well that Xiao Ning was not a woman who could be forced to stay.

He had to make her stay willingly..

What should he do? What should he do to quickly achieve his goal?

Fu Qingyun pondered for a while and made a call decisively. "Go and do something for me. You have to do it within 15 minutes!"

Downstairs.

Xiao Ning was holding a glass of water in the kitchen. She drank the water in a bland manner for a while.

She thought that this was her last day in Fu Qingyun's apartment. She could not just eat and drink for free before she left.

She put on her apron and opened the fridge. She took out some ingredients: quail eggs, flour, shiitake mushrooms, spring onions, ham..

It was a very simple and homely ingredient.

She actually didn't know how to cook many dishes, but in order to serve Bai Yeyuan's stomach, she had put in some hard work, and there were a few specialty dishes.

This shiitake stewed egg was specially developed by her.

She cut off the stem of the shiitake mushrooms, and beat a small quail egg in each shiitake mushroom. Sprinkle with finely chopped cheese, ham, and shallots, and a little salt to flavor it.

Then, steam them in a steamer.

When they were out of the pot, they were dripped with a bit of aged soy sauce. Instantly, the aroma filled the air.

She heated up the milk, made a bacon and vegetable sandwich, a corn pancake, and cut up a fruit platter.

It was a simple and heartfelt breakfast. It was placed on the dining table and looked very homely.

When Aunt Lian came out with the small grains, she exclaimed, "Madam, so you know how to cook. You're so good at cooking..."

Xiao Ning's expression turned serious. "Don't call me madam from now on."
