Fu Corporation Building.
Fu Jingyao adjusted his cuffs, “You’ve done well; the meeting is adjourned; get off work.”
Well done? Get off work!!!
The department managers exchanged glances.
Boss Fu was unusually gentle today; in the past monthly reports, they would be skinned alive.
Every month, as a special case, they had to work overtime to redo reports and plans.
But today, Boss Fu actually said to get off work!
Everyone was shocked and quietly asked Assistant Chen, “What does Boss Fu mean? Is he testing us in a different way?”
Chen Zhao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with his finger, “Boss Fu’s meaning is very clear; those who want to get off work can get off work; those who don’t want to get off work can voluntarily stay and contribute to the company.”
After hearing Assistant Chen’s words, everyone was even more confused.
Get off work?
Or, don’t get off work?
Chen Zhao smiled cunningly.
This was certainly Boss Fu testing them.
Boss Fu, a man who had been single for over twenty years, didn’t play games or read novels; what would he do at home after work?
Chen Zhao followed him with a stack of documents, “Boss Fu, there are a few documents that need your signature.”
Fu Jingyao said calmly, “Leave them; I’ll look at them tomorrow.”
“Ah?”
Chen Zhao didn’t react for a moment.
Fu Jingyao said word by word, “Chen Zhao, it’s time to get off work.”
“Ah?”
Chen Zhao’s mouth dropped open.
So Boss Fu really meant to get off work.
That’s not right, what would the great CEO do after work?
Something’s up, definitely something’s up.
Chen Zhao’s curiosity was piqued; looking up, he saw Boss Fu get on the exclusive elevator and leave.
He put down the documents, feeling utterly lost.
There was nothing to do at home after work; it was better to stay at the company.
He was a mother-born single; what would he do at home?
Chen Zhao turned on his computer and sorted out Boss Fu’s schedule for tomorrow and the documents needed for his upcoming business trip.
A day without overtime was imperfect.
…
Lin Xi waited for a while before Fu Jingyao arrived.
She hesitated for a moment before opening the car door and getting into the passenger seat, fastening her seatbelt.
Fu Jingyao looked at her, “Not sitting in the back?”
Lin Xi joked, “How dare I let Boss Fu be my driver?”
Fu Jingyao raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Master Lin is in a good mood today; business is good?”
“Of course.”
Lin Xi slightly raised her chin, “People who came to me for fortune-telling lined up the whole street; if it weren’t for the damn heavens, I would have become a little rich woman.”
For some reason, Fu Jingyao’s mood unconsciously improved.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, “Master Lin, if I ask you for a fortune-telling, do I need to queue?”
Lin Xi nodded, “Of course.”
“Sect rules, business is business, private matters are private matters; during work hours, only money is discussed, not feelings.”
“However…” she stared at the man beside her, “If you let me bite you again, I’ll let you cut the queue.”
Fu Jingyao didn’t answer the question.
Instead, he asked, “Lin Xi, you like biting people.”
Lin Xi blurted out, “No, I only like biting you.”
Fu Jingyao’s lips unconsciously curled upwards.
Lin Xi patted her head.
That didn’t sound right.
She couldn’t say exactly what was wrong.
Forget it, never mind.
They sat in silence, the black Maybach slowly driving into Shanshui Villa.
As soon as Lin Xi got out of the car, she heard the familiar voice again.
“Welcome home, Master and Madam!”
“Welcome home, Master and Madam!!”
“Welcome home, Master and Madam!!!”
Liu, the butler, along with a group of servants, stood at the entrance, bowing deeply to the two who stepped onto the red carpet.
Second time’s the charm; this time, Lin Xi followed Fu Jingyao expressionlessly.
She felt no emotion; she even wanted to laugh.
The villa was completely renovated; there were two big red lanterns at the entrance, red carpets were laid on the ground, ribbons and balloons were hung on both sides, and even the tree branches were decorated with red ropes.
Everything was normal when she left this morning; in just a few hours, the villa had changed drastically.
Lin Xi couldn’t help but admire Liu, the butler; he was truly talented.
Entering the house, Zhang Wenxiu pulled her hand and sat her down, “Lin Xi, from now on, we are family; don’t keep things bottled up; tell Grandma, and I’ll help you.”
Lin Xi didn’t know what to say; she nodded.
“You got the marriage license rather quickly; when will you hold the wedding?” Zhang Wenxiu took out an album, “Lin Xi, see if you like any styles?”
Lin Xi refused, “Grandma, I don’t want to hold a wedding for now.”
With her unlucky constitution, if a thunderbolt struck during the wedding… the scene was unimaginable.
It was fine if she embarrassed herself alone; it wouldn’t be good to implicate the Fu family.
Zhang Wenxiu was a little disappointed, “Okay, do as you wish; when you want to hold a wedding, tell Grandma.”
Lin Xi continued to nod.
Fu Jianhua asked with a smile, “Lin Xi, how about living here in the future?”
Lin Xi shook her head inwardly; she couldn’t live here.
Although Grandpa and Grandma were kind, some things were inconvenient.
The five little paper figures needed to bathe in essence; they hadn’t been out for fresh air for several days; Xiao Tu was constantly complaining.
Fu Jingyao also didn’t want to.
He refused, “We’ll leave tomorrow; it’s not convenient to live here.”
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu exchanged glances and smiled meaningfully.
“Haha, Grandpa and Grandma are experienced; we understand~ we understand~~”
Fu Jingyao and Lin Xi both fell silent.
The more they explained, the more confused it became; they simply shut up.
Fu Jianhua pinched the person next to him, “Jingyao, before, it was fine when you lived alone in that small apartment, but now that Lin Xi has married you, you can’t live in that dilapidated house anymore; you must buy a wedding house.”
Lin Xi waved her hand, “No, no, I just need a place to sleep; if there’s a piece of land to grow vegetables, that would be even better.”
“That won’t do.” Fu Jianhua glared at Fu Jingyao, “Marriage is a big deal; there must be a wedding house.”
Fu Jingyao calmly pushed his hand away, “Grandpa, I understand what you mean; the house has already been prepared.”
“Oh, you finally got it.” Fu Jianhua glared at him again, “Alright, let’s eat, let’s all eat.”
After dinner, Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu coaxed and tricked Lin Xi and Fu Jingyao into a room.
Zhang Wenxiu shouted outside the door, “Jingyao, Lin Xi, good night, get some rest early.”
Inside the room, Lin Xi and Fu Jingyao looked at each other, extremely awkward.
Grandma said her health wasn’t good, but she closed the door faster than anyone else and her legs and feet were more agile than anyone else.
Fu Jingyao spoke first, “Grandpa and Grandma won’t easily let us go; I’ll sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed; we’ll endure tonight, and we’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”
He searched around and found that the entire room only had one blanket and one pillow.
There wasn’t even an extra piece of cloth; it was unbelievably clean.
He never knew Grandpa and Grandma were so shrewd.
Outside the door, Liu, the butler, smiled mysteriously, concealing his merits and fame.
To ease the awkwardness, Fu Jingyao took out his phone and pretended to be busy.
“Lin Xi, you should sleep first; I still have some company matters to deal with.”
Lin Xi sighed, covering her face; how could she sleep?
She had lived on the mountain for many years; besides cultivation, she only caught ghosts and told fortunes; her master left her alone and ran away; he rarely taught her anything.
Metaphysics and the Five Arts, she basically self-taught.
Her master said she was very talented; it wasn’t like she was newly learning; it was like she hadn’t forgotten it from a past life.
Lin Xi understood that contact with Fu Jingyao could gain purple energy from him.
However, she knew nothing about relationships; at most, she could accept a touch.
Deeper contact, she dared not think about it, let alone do it.
She and Fu Jingyao were just strangers who had known each other for a few days.
Asking Lin Xi to sleep in the same bed with a stranger; she might kick him off the bed while sleeping and then beat him up.
That would be even more awkward.
Lin Xi sighed, “Fu Jingyao, you sleep; I’ll go outside to cultivate. It’s quiet at night; there’s more spiritual energy in the air; I often cultivated at night; I’m used to it.”
She opened the window and was about to jump down.
Liu, the butler, stood below; his eight white teeth were particularly bright under the light.
“Madam, where are you going?”
Lin Xi: …
