Chapter 186 : The Old Lady’s Phone Call

Lu Yunyao pushed Fu Sichan’s shoulder, saying, “Mr, go take a cold shower.”

Fu Sichan looked at her with a forlorn expression.

He never imagined that after getting this close, he still had to hold back.

Why did this little one have to come so soon?

Fu Sichan gently touched her abdomen and threatened in a husky voice, “When you’re born, I’ll spank you every day.”

Lu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

After drinking, her Mr became so childish!

He was even getting into a tiff with a baby.

“Mr, he’s still just a little baby, he won’t understand your threats.”

“Just go take a shower, don’t hold it in.”

Fu Sichan gave her forehead a kiss and reluctantly got up to wash in cold water.

At school, Li Siyu linked arms with Lu Yunyao and said gratefully, “Yunyao, thank your husband for me. Assistant Wang took me home yesterday, and I didn’t get wet at all.”

“No need to thank me; it’s what I should do.”

“Did a lot of people bother you after you got home yesterday?”

Lu Yunyao widened her eyes in surprise. “How did you know? Siyu, do you have mind-reading skills?”

Li Siyu chuckled, “I don’t have mind-reading skills, but I understand a bit about human nature.”

“You showed off in front of everyone yesterday, and now that you’re a wealthy heiress, of course, some people will have ulterior motives.”

Lu Yunyao furrowed her brows in distress. “But they all know I have a boyfriend.”

Li Siyu patted her shoulder, reassuring her, “Many people are like that; they’ll lift you up and then try to pull you down. Just get used to it.”

Lu Yunyao huffed, “This morning, several classmates from high school messaged me and even sent me voice notes saying good morning. I was speechless.”

She didn’t know that morning and accidentally opened one of the voice messages.

Now, it was just perfect; Fu Sichan overheard it.

She knew how jealous he could get.

Hearing a boy send her a voice message completely changed his demeanor.

Feeling guilty, Lu Yunyao voluntarily handed her phone over to Fu Sichan to let him delete those boys with bad intentions.

“Ha ha ha, these gold-digging boys are so funny when they’re trying to make a move, but it’s also good to filter out those with ulterior motives.”

Lu Yunyao agreed wholeheartedly. “Yeah, I don’t need these superficial friends.”

Most of her classmates were genuinely nice; they helped her when she was struggling in high school.

Now that she was doing well, they didn’t try to curry favor with her.

Only a few were rather unpleasant.

“Let’s go, Yunyao, let’s get something to eat.”

Once they reached the cafeteria, Lu Yunyao, Li Siyu, and Fang Yanran found an empty table to sit at.

Coincidentally, the famous “bean curd girl” from the soybean department was sitting right in front of them.

Li Siyu gossiped, “Is the bean curd girl going on a hunger strike again? Eating just a bit of wild vegetables, doesn’t she worry about starving?”

They saw that the bean curd girl, Liu Xi, had only a fist-sized portion of greens on her plate, without a single piece of meat.

Fang Yanran whispered, “You don’t know this, do you? I heard from a friend that she’s been having a breakup with her boyfriend again because he thinks her waist isn’t slim enough, so she’s been on a crazy diet lately.”

“She can’t lose weight like this! Just eating a few bites of wild vegetables, I’m really afraid she’ll starve,” Li Siyu replied.

“And isn’t her body perfectly normal? She’s already quite slim; love has really made her lose her mind.”

Fang Yanran sighed, “I hope she eats more wild vegetables and can cure her ‘love brain.’”

Lu Yunyao chuckled at their conversation. “Yanran, Siyu, you two are so talented, haha.”

She couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for Liu Xi.

A man who truly loves you would never criticize your body—unless it affects your health.

Fu Sichan only cares if she’s full; he doesn’t worry about her gaining weight.

In fact, he would prefer she gain a bit more weight, so she wouldn’t be too weak and get sick easily.

“Mr. Fu, the old lady is on the line for you.”

Fu Sichan had just come out of the conference room when he received his grandmother’s call.

“Grandma, what’s the matter?”

Madam Fu sighed, “Sichan, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

“Just say it.”

“This is a bit hard for me to bring up, but the old man from the Bai family was a good comrade of your grandfather. They had a life-and-death friendship. I can’t really refuse his request.”

Hearing that it was related to the Bai family, Fu Sichan had an inkling of what was going on.

His expression darkened. “Is it about Bai Xuan?”

Madam Fu inwardly sighed, impressed by her grandson’s quick reaction.

“Yes, the old man said that Xuan just returned from abroad and needs some experience. He wants to arrange for her to intern at Fu Corporation.”

Fu Sichan’s brows furrowed deeply.

“The Bai family isn’t lacking for companies, why does she need to come to the Fu family for training?”

“The major in which Xuan is studying is more suitable for the Fu family’s industry. The old man mentioned that it doesn’t have to be a high position, just a chance for her to gain some experience. I suspect she’s just acting impulsively and will calm down soon.”

If he hadn’t previously sensed Bai Xuan’s intentions, it wouldn’t have mattered.

But now Madam Fu saw through Bai Xuan completely, knowing that her motives were aimed at Sichan and his wife.

However, if they refused Bai Xuan, the relationship between the Fu and Bai families would be strained.

Understanding his elder’s dilemma, Fu Sichan asked, “What position does the Bai family want to offer her?”

“The old man means to give her a secretary position or something similar, just to let her experience company life.”

A secretary position.

Of course, the Bai family’s daughter wouldn’t be a secretary to an ordinary person; most likely, she would be Fu Sichan’s secretary.

Without a second thought, he refused outright: “I don’t need a secretary, let Miss Bai find another place.”

Madam Fu was about to persuade him further, but Fu Sichan’s tone had already turned displeased.

“Grandma, Yunyao is pregnant right now. I can overlook everything else, but I can’t overlook her.”

Madam Fu’s tone became stern, “So you’re not listening to your grandmother anymore?”

“It’s just a matter of arranging a position for Xuan’er. Don’t worry, she won’t cause any trouble. I’ll keep this from Yunyao, so she won’t be upset.”

For Madam Fu, the Fu family was important, but what mattered most was the late Old Master Fu’s reputation.

Whenever it came to the late master’s honor, she would become irrational.

Besides, if Sichan was confident in his feelings, why should he fear having Bai Xuan around?

Was he afraid he couldn’t resist temptation or tests?

“In these years, your grandfather’s friends have either passed away or drifted apart. The only one left with a decent relationship is Old Man Bai. He came to us with a request for his granddaughter, the Fu family can’t just stand by and refuse such a small request, can we?”
