Chapter 315: Spicy! Everyone in the branch heard it

In the VIP channel of Country F International Airport, Fu Linghe pushed the suitcase with one hand and held the mobile phone firmly with the other.

On the screen, Yun Zheng had fallen asleep, her eyelashes casting a light shadow under the light, and her breathing was even and long.

He turned off the microphone, fearing that the noise of the airport would wake her up, but his eyes never left the screen.

"Mr. Fu, the car is ready." Zhou Jin quickly followed and reminded in a low voice.

Zhou Jin is the chief assistant of the branch, assisting Fu Linghe in handling branch affairs.

So this time Fu Linghe asked Special Assistant Qi to stay in the company in Beijing.

Fu Linghe nodded slightly, but still stared at the phone. Only after confirming that Yun Zheng was sleeping soundly did he adjust the phone to a more secure angle and put it into the inside pocket of his suit.

It's just enough to let the camera face him without being affected by the bumps.

Along the way, he looked down at the screen from time to time.

Yun Zheng turned over in her sleep and rubbed her cheek against the pillow like a lazy cat.

The corners of Fu Linghe's mouth rose unconsciously, and his fingertips lightly touched the screen, as if he could touch her face.

The car drove directly to Fu's branch building in Country F.

In the conference room, the directors had been waiting for a long time.

Fu Linghe strode in, his suit neatly pressed and his expression stern, completely different from the man who had just looked at Yun Zheng tenderly in the car.

He placed his phone on a stand on the table, with the camera still facing himself. On the other side of the screen was the sleeping Yun Zheng.

"Let's begin." He spoke lightly, his voice low and majestic.

The directors looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why the usually rigorous Mr. Fu would be distracted by looking at his phone during such an important meeting.

But no one dared to ask more questions, and the meeting quickly got down to business.

Fu Linghe listened to the report, tapping his slender fingers on the table, occasionally lowering his eyes to glance at the screen.

Yun Zheng was sleeping soundly, with her long hair scattered on the pillow, like a quiet painting.

Halfway through the meeting, Yun Zheng on the screen suddenly moved.

She opened her eyes drowsily, not yet fully awake. She subconsciously stretched and called out softly, "Hubby~, I miss you."

Yun Zheng's voice was sweet and sticky, with a nasal sound of just waking up.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

All the directors widened their eyes and looked at their CEO in disbelief.

Fu Linghe, who was a man of decisiveness and coldness in the business world, froze in place at this moment because of a coquettish word coming from his phone.

Fu Linghe's expression softened instantly. He raised his hand to signal a pause in the meeting. "Ten minutes' break."

After saying that, he picked up his phone and quickly walked out of the conference room. He waited until he was sure the door was closed tightly before turning on the microphone again. His voice was low and gentle, "Are you awake?"

On the screen, Yun Zheng rubbed her eyes and realized that she was still on a video call with Fu Linghe, and the background was obviously the company corridor.

She woke up instantly, her cheeks flushed red, "You... were in a meeting just now?!"

Fu Linghe chuckled, stroking the screen lightly with his fingertips, "Hmm."

Yun Zheng suddenly covered her face with her hands, the tips of her ears red as if they could drip blood. "Did they hear what I just said?!"

"I heard it." The smile in Fu Linghe's eyes deepened. "Mrs. Fu confessed her feelings in public. I am very satisfied."

"Fu Linghe!" Yun Zheng grabbed the pillow and threw it at the screen in embarrassment. Although she couldn't touch him at all, this action still made Fu Linghe laugh out loud.

"Don't hide, let me see you." His voice was slightly hoarse. "I miss you too, every minute and every second."

Yun Zheng then slowly put down the pillow, revealing a pair of wet eyes, "When will you come back?"

"As soon as possible." Fu Linghe glanced at the time. "Go wash up now, and then have breakfast, okay?"

"What about you?"

"I'll call you after the meeting."

Yun Zheng nodded and added softly, "You...you are not allowed to laugh at me."

Fu Linghe raised his eyebrows, "What's the joke?"

"It's just..." Her voice became increasingly quiet, "What I did just now..."

Fu Linghe's eyes darkened, and he suddenly leaned closer to the screen, lowering his voice, "I like it very much. You can talk more about it later."

Yun Zheng's ears burned. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Zhou Jin's cautious voice on the other end of the line, "Mr. Fu, the directors are waiting for you..."

Fu Linghe hummed, but still looked at Yun Zheng, "Go have breakfast, don't be hungry."

"I understand. Go ahead and get busy." Yun Zheng urged with a red face.

Only then did Fu Linghe hang up the phone reluctantly.

When he turned around, the gentleness on his face instantly disappeared and he returned to his cold look.

When I pushed the door open and returned to the meeting room, all the directors immediately sat up straight and pretended that they had not heard anything.

Fu Linghe sat down without changing his expression. "Continue."

In the second half of the meeting, Mr. Fu's aura was even more intimidating than usual, but if someone observed carefully, they would find that his eyes occasionally glanced at the black screen of his mobile phone, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

On the other side, Yun Zheng rolled around on the bed holding her phone, buried her face in the quilt and screamed silently. It was so embarrassing!

She actually acted like a spoiled child while Fu Linghe was in a meeting!

Yun Zheng wailed and grabbed Fu Linghe's pillow to cover her burning face.

Maybe because she had just talked to Fu Linghe on the phone, Yun Zheng was in a good mood when she got up.

She straightened her messy hair in front of the mirror, patted her still hot cheeks, then pushed the door open and went downstairs.

As soon as I reached the corner of the stairs, I heard the laughter of my mother-in-law Shen Lanshu and Mrs. Fu coming from the living room.

"Mom, please try this newly arrived Biluochun tea that Linghe brought back last time." Shen Lanshu's voice was gentle and smiling.

"That boy is filial, but he's just too busy." Mrs. Fu's voice was filled with a hint of anger. "He's almost engaged, and he's still running around."

Yun Zheng paused, then quickened her pace and went downstairs. "Mom, Grandma, good morning."

The two elders turned their heads at the same time, their faces immediately filled with smiles.

"Zheng Zheng, are you awake?" Chen Lanshu put down her teacup and stood up to greet her. "I asked the kitchen to stew some bird's nest. It's just right to eat it while it's hot."

Mrs. Fu also patted the armrest of the sofa next to her. "Come on, come on, sit here, grandma. How was your rest last night?"

Yun Zheng walked over and sat down obediently, taking the bird's nest handed to her by her mother-in-law. "Thank you, Mom."

She took a sip and found it was just the right temperature. "Sleep well, Grandma."

Mrs. Fu narrowed her eyes and suddenly reached out to lift Yun Zheng's chin. "You have dark circles almost falling to your lips, and you still say you slept well?"

The old man's fingers gently stroked the dark circles under her eyes. "Are you not used to living in the old house? If it really doesn't work out, let your mother accompany you back to Tanxiyuan."

Shen Lanshu immediately put down the teapot and came over, "Yes, Zhengzheng, if you are used to your bed..."

"No!" Yun Zheng quickly shook her head, her ears slightly red. "I...I was waiting for Ling He's call, so I slept a little late."

As soon as the words fell, the two elders showed expressions of understanding at the same time.

Mrs. Fu patted the back of her hand, her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. "Oh, it's a good thing that the young couple has a good relationship, but they can't ignore their health."

Chen Lanshu also sat down and stuffed a piece of lotus cake into Yun Zheng's hand. "Ling He is already in his twenties and has a family. He can take care of himself. The most important thing for you now is to eat well, sleep well, and wait for him to come back."

"That's right," Mrs. Fu took over the conversation, "that kid has always been independent since he was young. He has never been a worry to anyone when he's away from home. But you..."

She touched Yun Zheng's cheek and said, "Look at how thin her face is. Ling He must be heartbroken when he comes back."

Yun Zheng felt embarrassed and lowered her head to stir the bird's nest in the bowl. "I know, Grandma."

"I'm glad you really know." Mrs. Fu suddenly leaned closer, looking mysterious. "Don't worry about Ling He. He's not willing to treat himself badly. When he went abroad alone for the first time as a child, the whole family was so worried that they couldn't sleep. Guess what happened?"

Yun Zheng looked up curiously, "What's going on?"

"As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he sent us a selfie. The background was the most expensive restaurant in the area, with lobster and red wine on the table!"

The old lady laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh. "At only eight years old, he knows how to enjoy himself. His father is really mad!"

Shen Lanshu couldn't help laughing, "That's right, he brought gifts to each of us when he came back, saying that he bought them with his own money."

Yun Zheng imagined the young Fu Linghe solemnly treating her to a feast, and couldn't help but curl her eyes. "Has he always been this...special?"

"Special? That's just bullshit!" Mrs. Fu snorted, but her eyes were full of pride. "But this kid is really capable. He has never been a worry to anyone since he was a child. So, "

She looked at Yun Zheng meaningfully and said, "Just relax, eat and sleep, and wait for him to come back."

Yun Zheng felt warm inside and nodded obediently, "Yes, I'll listen to Grandma."

As he was speaking, the housekeeper came over and announced, "Old Madam, Madam, Young Madam, Miss Cen is here."

As soon as the voice fell, Cen Li'an rushed in, "Hello, Auntie! Hello, Grandma!"

As soon as she saw Yun Zheng, she rushed over and said, "Zheng Zheng! Look what I brought you!"

She pulled out an exquisite gift box from her bag. "I asked someone to bring back the necklace you liked last time from Country A!"

A rare glint of strangeness flashed across Yun Zheng's eyes. She opened the necklace, took a look, and closed the gift box with one hand. "Who should I ask for help?"

Cen Lian was stunned at first, then his face flushed red. It was obvious who he was asking for help.

Shen Lanshu smiled and stood up. "You young people chat, I'll go to the kitchen to see how lunch is prepared."

Mrs. Fu also stood up with the help of a cane. "It's time for my old bones to get some sunshine. You two can chat slowly."

Yun Zheng placed the gift box on her lap and looked at Cen Lian with a half-smile, "Did you ask Dr. Jiang to bring it to you?"
