So, Fu Shiqin, who had just said he was taking a break today, had no choice but to rush to the headquarters of the Fu Group.

"Brother, when you and your wife were dating, I worked overtime without hesitation. Now that I'm pursuing a girlfriend, is it appropriate for you to call me to work overtime like this?"

"I've given you so much time off, and you still haven't managed to win her over." Fu Hanzheng didn't even look up before instructing Xu Qian, "Let's have a meeting."

Fu Shiqin sat down for the meeting in a huff, and then took out his phone to complain to Gu Weiwei that his brother was getting in the way of his pursuit of his girlfriend.

However, his sister-in-law showed no sympathy for him. Instead, she replied: "You can't win Ling Jiao's heart. It's not my husband's fault. It's your own problem with flirting."

He was called to the company for two meetings and returned to Jinxiu Apartment exhausted. Instead of going back to his own place, he went to knock on Ling Jiao's door first.

"Shall we have dinner together?"

“I’m done.” Ling Jiao pointed inside the apartment.

Fu Shiqin tentatively asked, "Is there a share for me?"

"Yes, come in." Ling Jiao stepped aside and let him in.

Fu Shiqin was taken aback, feeling that Ling Jiao had been incredibly lenient with him lately, which made him feel inexplicably guilty.

However, they have already broken up, so they probably won't say anything about breaking up again.

Seeing him standing there blankly without coming in, Ling Jiao asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to eat?"

"Let me think about it." Fu Shiqin snapped out of his daze, went inside, and quickly went to wash his hands.

This feeling of finally having food to eat had a strange sweetness, like that of newlyweds, but he could only enjoy it secretly to himself.

He washed his hands and came out to find Ling Jiao had already set the table with the food and dishes.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days. This meal is a small token of my gratitude."

Fu Shiqin pursed his lips. He had indeed overthought things. It turned out she was just thanking him for giving her a place to stay temporarily.

"You're welcome."

"I'm thinking of moving in with my agent tomorrow. It's too much trouble for you to stay here all the time," Ling Jiao suggested.

She lives here, and it seems he doesn't have time to go home anymore.

“It’s no trouble at all.” Fu Shiqin frowned and kindly advised, “It would be very inconvenient for you to live with her, and she is also a woman. How can she protect you? Besides, she has a husband and children. It would be very inconvenient for you to live there.”

"I……"

“She’s your manager, but she also has her own private time and space. If you move in with her, won’t she find it troublesome? Won’t her husband and children find it troublesome?” Fu Shiqin analyzed logically and concluded, “You won’t bother anyone by living here, so why move around?”

Ling Jiao remained silent, pondering his words, which seemed to make some sense.

She discussed it with her agent in the afternoon, and the agent also told her that it wasn't particularly convenient.

"Besides, my sister-in-law will probably be coming over in a couple of days to discuss the start of filming with you. This place is close to the company, so she can go home with my brother after it's over. It'll be so inconvenient if you move out." Fu Shiqin racked his brains for an excuse, even bringing up Gu Weiwei.

Ling Jiao was completely convinced by him, "Then... okay."

Fu Shiqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had really gone to great lengths to keep her here.

"By the way, your company is preparing to terminate its contract with Yang Shasha."

After all, Ling Jiao is currently being heavily promoted by their company, and she's about to star in his sister-in-law's movie. The company has to give her some face and protect her. Anyway, Yang Shasha doesn't have much fame right now, so terminating her contract is fine.

Moreover, if they continue to promote Yang Shasha, Ling Jiao's fans will start cursing the company to death.
