Fu Yanli had been observing the interaction between Si Lijue and Su Niannian. When he saw Si Lijue take the initiative to pull Su Niannian into his arms, he was so surprised that his eyes widened.

Has Si Lijue's misogyny been cured?

What is his relationship with the woman in front of him?

Judging from their intimate behavior and natural interaction, could it be that this Su Niannian is his woman?

Wow! This is getting more and more interesting!

Fu Yanli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile as he looked at Si Lijue with a half-smile.

"Mr. Si, please don't scare Niannian. She's easily frightened and will be scared by you."

If your company doesn't plan to hire her, I'd like to offer her a position as the general manager's secretary at the Fu Group.

Niannian? Are they close?

Why does this CEO Fu call her so mushy?

He must have deliberately provoked Si Lijue, wanting Si Lijue to realize that he was jealous.

Su Niannian secretly rolled her eyes, her stomach churning, and she almost vomited on the spot.

She corrected him irritably, "Mr. Fu, we're not familiar with each other, please be normal and call me by my full name."

Fu Yanli smiled obsequiously and said, "Don't be like that! Niannian, although we weren't very familiar with each other before, what does it matter?"

As the saying goes, meeting is fate! From now on, we're friends!

Furthermore, if you're willing to be my secretary, our relationship will definitely become closer and more intimate.

After saying that, he deliberately winked at Su Niannian, seemingly trying to get her attention and win her favor in this way.

Su Niannian was speechless, thinking that Fu Yanli was a typical shameless person.

Si Lijue, who was standing next to Su Niannian, had just managed to calm down, but his expression quickly darkened again, and his voice turned several degrees colder.

"President Fu, a mere secretary to the general manager thinks she can poach my people? I advise you not to daydream. She won't go, and I won't allow it."

I couldn't bear to see Fu Yanli seducing Su Niannian. I wished I could punch him in the face and teach him a lesson about propriety and shame, and stop seducing married women.

"Your person? Haha, she hasn't even been interviewed yet! How can she be considered your person?"

With a hint of mockery and provocation on his face, Fu Yanli was completely unafraid of the authority of the CEO in front of him and continued to recklessly add fuel to the fire.

"President Si, I must give you a piece of advice: you should quickly face reality!"

Don't try to possess every beautiful woman you see, and don't keep saying that she's your woman.

We all need to have some self-respect, right? Otherwise, it'll sound really bad if word gets out!

As he spoke, he deliberately shook his head, seemingly disdainful of President Si's behavior.

Si Lijue's face was as black as ink. He parted his thin lips slightly and said in a cold voice, "President Fu, isn't it you who should be facing the truth?"

"You're lusting after someone else's wife, dreaming of becoming a third party and interfering in their marriage—how dare you lecture me with these high principles?"

"What? She's your wife? Si Lijue, when did you get married? How come I didn't know?"

Fu Yanli stared wide-eyed at Si Lijue in disbelief, his face full of astonishment.

In the entire upper class of Kyoto, everyone knows that Si Lijue, the head of the Si family, is indifferent to women and has no interest in them whatsoever.

Some people even said he was cold-blooded and heartless, and extremely indifferent in that area, and simply not good enough.

How could someone like Si Lijue possibly have a wife?

The more he thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. He shook his head and said firmly, "This is absolutely impossible!... You must be lying to me, right?"

"Why do you need to know I'm getting married? The person I'm marrying isn't you." Si Lijue's lips curled into a sneer, his tone icy and chilling. "Besides, would I lie to you? Is there any need for that? You're not the most precious person in my heart."

“But the rumors say that you…” Fu Yanli saw that Si Lijue’s expression didn’t seem to be lying, and his heart tightened. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Si Lijue’s voice: “Fu Yanli, are you stupid? You said it was just a rumor, and rumors shouldn’t be taken seriously.”

When Fu Yanli heard Si Lijue call him stupid, he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. He shouted at the man in front of him, "Si Lijue, don't go too far! Just say what you want to say, why are you slandering me?"

“Did I slander you? I’m just stating the facts.” Si Lijue stared at him with a mocking smile.

These words are not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

Fu Yanli took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said through gritted teeth, "Fine! You've got guts."

He really wanted to just walk away and not cooperate with Si Lijue, but he couldn't bear to give up this great opportunity to make money.

He knew perfectly well that if Si Lijue's research and development project succeeded, the Fu and Si families would make a fortune!

He was a businessman by nature, so of course he valued profit the most.

Is their relationship a love-hate one?

Su Niannian stared with her big, round eyes, looking at this person and that person, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "What does your flirting and jealousy have to do with me? Can't you just leave me out of it?"

All I wanted to do was work diligently at the company and protect the family business for my son for a year, that's all.

Si Lijue was unaware of Su Niannian's inner thoughts and, not wanting to continue arguing with Fu Yanli, gave Lin Fei a look.

Lin Fei, having been by his side for over a decade, instantly understood and stepped in to smooth things over.

"President Fu, please calm down. You must be exhausted from standing for so long! Come on, let me accompany you to the reception room." Without waiting for a reply, she pulled Fu Yanli away.

Fu Yanli was furious and kept complaining to Lin Fei along the way: "Your CEO Si really lies without thinking. How could Miss Su possibly be his wife?"

Seeing that Fu Yanli didn't believe him, Lin Fei thought about how President Si and President Fu were about to sign a contract, and worried that if their misunderstanding wasn't cleared up soon, the talks would fall apart.

He immediately explained, "President Fu, actually, what our President Si said is correct. Su Niannian really is our President Si's wife. Moreover, their son is almost five years old."

"What did you say? Si Lijue has a son who's almost five years old?"

Fu Yanli felt that he had eaten too much gossip today, and it was too much for him to digest, leaving him feeling suffocated and uncomfortable.

Lin Fei replied confidently, "Yes, President Fu, our President Si's son is old enough to run errands. Moreover, the young master looks a lot like our President Si, having completely inherited his excellent genes."

Fu Yanli saw that Lin Fei's expression didn't seem to be lying, and considering that Su Niannian, as the person involved, didn't object at all when Si Lijue said she was his wife, he had already realized that this matter was true.

He seemed deeply shocked, muttering to himself, "How could this happen? Si Lijue even resorted to underhanded tactics, how despicable!"
