Chapter 219 : Bai Xuan leaves the company

The next day, Bai Xuan went to Fu’s Group and actively requested a leave of absence.

“Leave of absence? You want to take a long one?”

Bai Xuan nodded, “Yes.”

The manager seemed unsure.

She had initially thought Bai Xuan was Fu Sichan’s woman, but later realized her mistake. Fu Sichan’s partner was actually Miss Lu.

Bai Xuan was an unexpected addition, who knew what kind of background she had?

Just then, Fu Sichan and his assistant walked out of the elevator.

The man was handsome and cold, radiating an aura that kept others at bay.

He was methodically assigning tasks to his subordinates. “Later, for the meeting with General Lei, Assistant Wang will attend on my behalf.”

“And for the collaboration with General Zheng, I’ve already reviewed the plan, it’ll be handled by Assistant Xiao…”

Usually, Fu Sichan personally managed these collaborations, but with a pregnant wife at home, he needed to carve out more time to spend with her.

So, he had delegated these tasks to trusted people.

As they passed by, Bai Xuan suddenly raised her voice and declared:

“Manager, I want to take a long leave of absence and won’t be coming to the office for a long time.”

Her words caught the attention of her colleagues in the same department.

“No way, isn’t Bai Xuan infatuated with our President Fu? Why is she asking to leave?”

“Did President Fu ask her to leave?”

“Impossible! If it were President Fu’s intention, he would have just fired Bai Xuan, there’s no way he’d leave room for negotiation.”

“Do you think Bai Xuan has finally come to her senses? Has she stopped clinging to President Fu?”

“She graduated from a prestigious university, after the last incident, she can’t keep embarrassing herself by being the third wheel, right? That would be too uncouth.”

The colleagues whispered among themselves.

They all agreed that Bai Xuan had come to her senses and was finally letting go of Fu Sichan.

Everyone felt overjoyed, as if they could burst out fireworks in celebration.

Great! The white lotus third wheel is finally leaving, and their couple is unbreakable!

After the last incident, many in the company, like Assistant Wang, had become fans of Fu Sichan and Lu Yunyao.

Some even secretly wrote them into stories, and the whole company was quietly sharing and shipping the couple.

No one could ruin Fu Sichan and Lu Yunyao’s relationship!

Bai Xuan silently watched Fu Sichan’s retreating figure.

She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like his steps paused for a moment after she spoke.

Her eyes brightened.

Did he hear her? And did he react?

Maybe, just like in the stories, men really do respond to the strategy of being aloof.

“Perhaps it’s just like what the book says: men are all susceptible to the tactic of feigned indifference.

After pursuing him for so long, even if my senior brother has a heart of stone, he will remember my kindness.

As soon as I suddenly give up on him, my senior brother will inevitably start to miss me.

Bai Xuan curled her lips into a smile. “Manager, please arrange my leave quickly I won’t be coming in this afternoon.”

Since this tactic shows promise, she naturally wanted to continue executing it.

One day, she would become the cherished mark on her senior brother’s heart.

In fact, Fu Sichan did pause for a few seconds.

Assistant Xiao glanced back at Bai Xuan and quietly asked Assistant Wang, “Could it be that President Fu has feelings for Miss Bai…?”

Surely President Fu wasn’t caught off guard by her words.

Could he really be reluctant to let her go?

Assistant Wang shot him a look. “Impossible.”

“How do you know?”

Assistant Wang wore a mysterious expression. ‘I just know.’

Having been by President Fu’s side for the longest time, he understood him best.

President Fu was definitely not the type to be toyed with by women.

The whole notion of feigned indifference and ambiguity simply wouldn’t catch his eye!

Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Fu Sichan suddenly frowned and muttered, “Oh no, I forgot to remind that little girl to drink her milk this morning.”

Assistant Wang wore a proud look, as if to say, “I knew it.”

He had witnessed everything that transpired between President Fu and Mrs. Fu.

No matter how clever Bai Xuan tried to be, it was merely unrequited sentiment.

Only when a man holds feelings for you do your schemes become effective.

If a man has no feelings for you, your schemes will only make you look like a fool.

Assistant Xiao gave Assistant Wang a thumbs up, humbly saying, “Brother Wang, it seems I have much to learn from you.”

At least when it came to understanding the boss’s mindset, he was no match for Assistant Wang.

Assistant Wang shared a secret with him “Just remember, President Fu is a pure love warrior who only loves his wife, and many things will start to make sense.'”

Assistant Xiao suddenly understood.

…

A basketball game was being held at the school.

Lu Yunyao’s class was participating. Although she wasn’t particularly interested in the game, since it was about the honor of the entire class, she naturally came to cheer along with her classmates.

“Go, go!”

The whole basketball court was buzzing with excitement.

Just then, a discordant voice broke in.

“Lu Yunyao, bring over that water over there.” Yao Xuan’er crossed her arms and ordered.

She was pointing at a case of mineral water containing twelve bottles, weighing over ten kilograms.

Lu Yunyao protectively cradled her small belly. “I… I can’t lift heavy things, let someone else do it.”

She had trouble seeing and was pregnant, so she didn’t dare take any risks with her baby.

If she fell, it wouldn’t be a joke.

Yao Xuan’er sneered. “Miss Lu is really delicate, isn’t she? You caused your classmate to end up in jail over a little formaldehyde before. Now I ask you to carry some water, and you’re pushing back. Do you want everyone to treat you like a princess?”

Her friends joined in with mocking remarks.

“Lu Yunyao is so selfish. Everyone is busy, and she just sits there doing nothing.”

“She has no team spirit at all and no sense of collective honor!”

“If our class loses the game, it’ll all fall on her! Who told her to be so selfish and not help at all, just dragging everyone down!”

Lu Yunyao’s face was filled with distress.

At that moment, Fang Yanran stepped forward. “Enough, Yao Xuan’er! Is it really necessary to bully Yaoyao? Don’t you know her eyesight is poor?”

“You have good eyesight, you help her move it,” Yao Xuan’er shot back.

Fang Yanran replied resolutely, “It’s just a case of water. Just move it! With all the time you’re wasting talking, you could have moved it by now.”

She rolled her eyes at Yao Xuan’er, then walked under the sunshade and lifted a case of water.

“I’ll do it.”

A cheerful voice came from in front of her.

Fang Yanran looked up and was surprised to see Fu Qianxing.

He was wearing a basketball jersey, just finishing a game, with sweat-soaked strands of hair sticking to his forehead.

Fu Qianxing took the water from her hands with ease.

“You came to help Yaoyao, right? Thank you on her behalf,” Fang Yanran said.

Fu Qianxing’s expression changed immediately as he hurriedly denied it. “Ahem, I don’t have those kinds of feelings for Classmate Lu, so don’t get the wrong idea.”

If you looked closely, you would notice that Fu Qianxing’s face was not only tense but also a bit fearful!

What was he afraid of?
