Chapter 39 His Heart's Frozen

She turned her head and looked out of the car window. As the car moved forward, there were fewer cars and people in the street. Streetlights illuminated the street. Xu Zijin recognized the street at once because it led to Golden Beach Villa, where she lived before.

Her uneasiness climbed to the top. "Stop the car!"

"Miss Xu, what's the matter?" Mawson asked.

Xu Zijin clenched her fists. With her nails cut deep into the skin, she tried hard to remain calm and said, "I... I'm tired. I want to go back and have a rest."

"Miss Xu, please be patient. We'll soon reach our destination. Mr. Fu is waiting for you there," Mawson said in a soft but uncompromising tone. "Before you get out of the car, you have to put on the blindfold."

Xu Zijin wrinkled her brows and looked at the blindfold in Mawson's hand, with a cold expression on her face.

"Didn't you hear me? I want to go back! Stop the car! Right now!"

The car was spacious and comfortable. But at this moment, she felt as if the car was a monster trapping her. As the evening progressed, her fear of darkness was starting to suffocate her.

Despite her reluctance, Xu Zijin didn't get out of the car halfway. The car made a turn, moved down a quiet road and finally entered a villa.

Xu Zijin was unwilling to blindfold her eyes. However, at Mawson's insistence, she ended up wearing the blindfold.

"Let's go, Miss Xu. Mr Fu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Zijin was taken into a room. With a bang, the door closed behind her. Now she was in strange surroundings, and couldn't see anything with the blindfold. Something like panic overtook her.

"Chen... Chen... Are you here?"

The room was so spacious that Xu Zijin even heard the echoes. No one answered her. A deathly silence filled the room and the only sound was the beating of her heart. She grew more and more nervous.

Xu Zijin waited for a while, but nothing happened. Her intuition was telling her that something was wrong. So she raised her hand and wanted to take off the blindfold.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears. "Don't move. Don't take off the blindfold." The voice was hoarse with pent-up emotions.

Xu Zijin frowned and with a worried expression on her face, she said, "Chen, since you are here, why didn't you answer me just now? Your voice seems to have changed. Do you have a cold?"

Xu Zijin groped her way and soon came up to him. Catching the familiar smell of Fu Chen, she breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously grabbed his arm.

His presence settled her nerves. Xu Zijin relaxed and could not help complaining, "Chen, what are you playing at? You're being so mysterious."

Fu Sinian standing in front of her was wearing an expensive suit, tall, well-built and handsome like a prince. He looked fixedly at her with his deep, dark eyes.

After Xu Zijin walked into the room, he kept his eyes fixed on her.

'She stood there, restless with anxiety. She called another man's name again and again. After she found 'Fu Chen', she played the coquetry and complained in a soft voice. She trusts Fu Chen completely!' he roared in his heart.

Fu Sinian felt the pain ringing throughout his aching body. His heart seemed to be frozen.

"Yesterday you said that you wanted me to be the first person you saw after you regained you sight."

Xu Zijin pouted and grumbled, "I thought you forgot that. This morning the doctor removed the gauze from my eyes, but you were absent."

She did want Fu Chen to be the first person she saw after she recovered her sight, but he didn't come. Although she was disappointed, she made allowances for his absence because she knew he was busy.

"Don't be upset. We can do it again." Half of Fu Sinian's handsome face was in shadow. Under the shaded light his expression was difficult to read. Staring at her with fixed eyes, he raised his hand and brushed her eyelids with his calloused fingertip. "I'm here now. It's up to you to decide whether to take off your blindfold or not."
