Chapter 210 : The plot fails

Fu Sichan clenched his fists, struggling to suppress the anger surging from within.

It was that Bai Xuan again!

The girl was pregnant and in a vulnerable state of mind. What good intentions could Bai Xuan possibly have by showing up now?

His eyes turned bloodshot. “Did Bai Xuan say something to you?”

Lu Yunyao sniffled and nodded pitifully.

“She told me everything.”

Fu Sichan was so angry he almost laughed. “Then why don’t you tell me exactly what ‘everything’ means?”

The way she spoke seemed to imply she had already assumed he was hiding something from her.

But he absolutely detested Bai Xuan; he wouldn’t even want to be near her, let alone have an affair!

Lu Yunyao’s small shoulders trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

“Mr, is what Bai Xuan said true?”

“You didn’t tell me what she said, how can I respond to you?”

Lu Yunyao opened her mouth, but before she could speak, tears began to fall.

“Bai Xuan said she’s working at your company now.”

Fu Sichan replied with a brief “Mm-hmm,” and Lu Yunyao’s tears flowed even more.

“She also said that you two…”

Lu Yunyao was sobbing so hard she could barely get the words out.

She couldn’t do it; just thinking about that scene made her heart ache.

Fu Sichan might not know what exactly she wanted to say, but from her fragments of speech, he could guess a bit.

Bai Xuan had definitely said something to deliberately mislead the girl.

He pulled her petite body into his embrace, tenderly kissing away her tears.

“Little girl, do you trust me or her?”

Lu Yunyao blinked through her tears, hiccupping as she cried.

Her helpless appearance stirred Fu Sichan’s deepest protective instincts.

“Mr, I… I trust you.”

Fu Sichan tightened his arms around her. “First of all, Bai Xuan joining the company was Grandma’s decision, not mine.”

“The old man from the Bai family was a comrade-in-arms with my late grandfather, the kind of bond that’s life-and-death. When he called wanting Bai Xuan to gain experience at the company, Grandma had no choice but to agree.”

“So, that’s why Bai Xuan joined the company.”

Lu Yunyao sat in her Mr’s embrace, listening intently to his explanation.

“Bai Xuan originally wanted to be my secretary, but I refused. Later, Grandma fell ill over this matter, and I had to agree to let her into the company. However, she can’t be my secretary, she’s just working in the office area next to the president’s office.”

Lu Yunyao blinked her watery almond eyes and grabbed Fu Sichan’s arm.

“Mr, she said you often help her solve problems and that you’ve helped her a lot. Is that true?”

Fu Sichan scoffed disdainfully. “If she dares to say that to you again, tell her, since she can’t even solve problems at work, she shouldn’t come to the company anymore.”

The Fu Group doesn’t keep idle people.

If someone can’t even do their own job well, they might as well go home early.

Lu Yunyao asked again, “She also said that when you get busy, you often forget to eat lunch, and she would bring you food. What about that?”

Fu Sichan playfully pinched her nose.

“Little girl, what do you think my assistants and secretaries are for? Why would it be her job to bring me lunch?”

Besides, the president’s office isn’t a place just anyone can enter.

Lu Yunyao stubbornly pressed on, “But what if she really does bring you lunch? Would you eat it?”

“I wouldn’t eat it. I’m afraid she’d poison me,” Fu Sichan replied candidly.

Hearing this, Lu Yunyao’s mood shifted from cloudy to sunny.

Her eyes curved into pretty crescent moons as she let out a laugh.

Someone as cautious as her Mr. wouldn’t randomly eat food someone else brought!

Fu Sichan leaned closer, his lips near her ear, and teased softly, “If Mrs. Fu were willing to bring me lunch, I’d be more than happy.”

His warm breath sent a shiver down her spine, making her cheeks flush.

Feeling shy, she squirmed a bit but didn’t pull away from his embrace.

She whispered, “You… you wish! I wouldn’t bring you anything.”

Fu Sichan smiled, “I wouldn’t want you to bring it anyway.”

If she really wanted to bring him lunch, he wouldn’t feel at ease, not because of the food, but because of her.

Just like that, the couple’s misunderstandings were completely resolved.

All the gloom in Lu Yunyao’s heart was blown away, replaced by bright sunshine.

She asked with concern, “But Mr, do you really forget to eat lunch when you get busy?”

Fu Sichan didn’t want her to worry, so he said, “I occasionally forget, but it’s not often. It’s not a big deal.”

Lu Yunyao furrowed her brows again.

She shook his arm, clearly disapproving.

“Mr, that’s not okay. Your stomach isn’t great as it is. If you don’t eat on time, you’ll definitely get sick.”

Being cared for by his beloved made Fu Sichan’s smile deepen.

“You were just complaining about your stomach after drinking too much. Have you forgotten that already? Isn’t that just healing scars and forgetting the pain?”

Lu Yunyao scolded him like a little adult, her face stern.

Usually, Fu Sichan was the one looking after her, but now their roles had switched, and she was scolding her husband.

Fu Sichan didn’t mind her reprimands at all.

He smiled softly, “I accept Mrs. Fu’s teachings.”

“As long as you know you’re in the wrong! You need to eat on time from now on! Don’t skip any meals! Otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

Lu Yunyao’s eyes darted, and she puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be fierce.

“Otherwise, I’ll use the family rules on you!”

Fu Sichan quickly asked, “If I eat on time, will there be a reward?”

Lu Yunyao laughed at him, “You’re all grown up! Why do you still act like a child asking for a reward?”

“Mrs. Fu, just tell me, is there a reward or not?”

Lu Yunyao puffed up her cheeks, her face turning red as she replied, “Yes, yes, yes.”

“What kind of reward?”

Fu Sichan leaned closer, his deep, dark eyes fixated on her soft lips.

The implication in his words was clear, and Lu Yunyao understood perfectly.

Her ears turned bright red as she summoned her courage and lightly pecked his lips.

“This is the reward… mmm…”

Just as she kissed him, before she could pull away, a large hand pressed the back of her head.

Fu Sichan certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity to deepen the kiss.

He held her head in place, deepening the kiss.

His warm breath brushed against her cheek, and Lu Yunyao’s long lashes fluttered as her hands gently pressed against his chest.

Before long, she was lost in the sweet and tender kiss.
