Chapter 140: Blue Pupils

Zhong Huayan nestled quietly in the man’s embrace, afraid to move even slightly, for fear that touching her thigh or tailbone would unleash unbearable pain. The sensation was utterly agonizing, more excruciating than being burned alive.

Perhaps because it was an artificial ski slope with insufficient snow depth, falling from such a height surely meant a fracture.

Her forehead was drenched in cold sweat, tears trembling at the corners of her eyes, ready to spill. Yet, recalling Jian Zhang’s arrogant behavior just moments ago, she let out a sigh of relief.

Her wrist throbbed painfully from being grabbed so tightly; she even suspected that man had tried to tear her hand off!

No more posturing from now on...

“Ah Yan, does it still hurt?”

“It’s bearable—a dull ache.”

Since her sudden trip to Changchun, most of the Fu family doctors were in the capital, and the caretaker for the elderly Wang Yudong, who was supposed to watch over her, had fallen ill unexpectedly.

So, Fu Yanyan brought her to a local hospital where he had shares in several facilities. He arranged a private VIP room just for her, with nurses and doctors dedicated around the clock to monitor her condition. The doctor studied her injury carefully but hesitated to proceed without an X-ray.

The final diagnosis confirmed a fracture.

Her tailbone was broken.

Fu Yanyan was heartbroken, staying by her bedside whenever he was not working. He catered to her every need, personally peeling her fruit and feeding her meals—with more care than one might lavish on royalty.

Even the doctors were amazed; ordinarily, no one would serve another so unconditionally, especially someone at the pinnacle of the social pyramid. Yet, this scene unfolded vividly in reality.

As the old saying goes, passionate love only blossoms in wealthy families.

“How is it?”

“Mr. Fu, the recovery is going well. With another week of rest, she should be able to get up and move around.”

Lying bedridden in Changchun throughout autumn was an unexpected frustration for Zhong Huayan. She was utterly bored.

In the past few days, she began streaming online treasure evaluations, took several private video appraisal orders, and gained tens of thousands of followers—but then hit a plateau. It seemed impossible to draw more viewers or convert fans effectively.

She studied those with larger audiences and livelier streams but remained clueless. For now, she would wait, and if necessary, invest money to boost traffic.

Achieving this much in just over half a year was already a stroke of fortune.

She feared she had quietly made many enemies.

Still, these social media followers helped her reclaim the family’s ancestral treasures from abroad. The project, managed expertly by Hongshu, had returned nearly a hundred items to the homeland in the past month alone.

This was more than just family sentiment; it embodied dignity and culture—bearing the scars of a bloody history of exploitation and oppression.

Suddenly, she thought about how Fu YanyanI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
