Master Fu, Madam Left You a Child

After marrying him, everyone in our circle constantly spread rumors that I, Song Xingyao, was just a replacement. Yet, I had never even heard the name of the person I was supposedly replacing.

Chapter 21 The obsession doesn't seem so strong anymore.

When Fu Siming returned to the company, Pei Jing was already waiting for him in the president's office, holding documents from the overseas branch and eager to report.

When he returned to the table, Pei Jing handed him an overseas document, signed by the branch manager, with the words "Spot check postponed" in large letters in the issue section.

Pei Jing: "President Fu, the head of the branch office said that the frequency of random inspections of goods arriving in S country has increased, so the port is blocked. But all our inspection qualifications are strictly controlled."

Pei Jing continued, "Anger has reported that the Sige family is making big moves, saying they plan to come to Jiangcheng during this overseas business recruitment event."

After a pause, Pei Jing seemed to be thinking about how to organize his words.

Fu Siming looked up at him and said, "Speak your mind."

“Ang said he found out that Miss Fu has connections with the Sige family... but he hasn’t found out the specifics yet. The Sige family is keeping their information very well hidden.”

Fu Siming pursed his lips, seemingly lost in thought, before finally speaking.

"Contact the overseas managers and ask them to cooperate in handling this as soon as possible. Their actions won't do much damage; they're just stalling for time."

Pei Jing was still standing aside waiting for Fu Siming to give his instructions, but to his surprise, Fu Siming didn't say anything. The latter looked up and said, "Go and do it."

Surprisingly, Fu Siming didn't mention Fu Yao's matter and quickly left the office.

Fu Siming leaned back in his leather armchair, pondering what Pei Jing had just said about the Sige family and Fu Yao. It was quite surprising that there was a connection between the two.

Long, slender fingers pressed the dial button, and a clear, pleasant voice came through. It was the voice of a sunny young man, which seemed somewhat incongruous with his professional identity.

Ang: "I've been waiting for quite a while. This time, the call back took longer than I expected."

Fu Siming: "Have you found anything out about this matter?"

Hearing the unusual weariness in his voice, Ang spoke with a hint of amusement: "Why do you sound so tired? Has your wife drained you dry?"

...

Seeing that he did not reply, he continued, "It's quite a coincidence. The maid of the Sige family said that the candidate for heir, Gumai, is hiding a woman. However, I heard that the woman is a bit crazy."

“I grabbed that little maid and gave her a fright. She didn’t know her exact identity either, but from her description, she seemed a bit like the little lover you’re looking for, Fu Yao.”

Hearing this, Fu Siming finally showed some interest: "Should? Don't you never release uncertain information?"

"I never said this was news for you; I just wanted to share some gossip with you."

Ang has done a lot of investigation for Fu Siming over the years, so he is not afraid of Fu Siming getting angry. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

He noticed that Fu Siming was acting differently. In the past, the first thing Fu Siming would ask about when he called would always be news of Fu Yao, but recently he had been asking less frequently. He was thinking of keeping Fu Siming in suspense, but the latter was not playing by the rules.

He then became serious: "Give me some more time. The Sige side is currently determining the successor, so the news is being kept very secret. But I expect there will be some big moves. I'll contact you when I have news."

"Hmm," Fu Siming hung up the phone before Ang could, and casually tossed it on the table.

Ang is a world-renowned top detective who appears and disappears without a trace. No one can find him, and his network of relationships is unfathomable. He never meets in person to exchange information, but only conducts transactions through technical means. Therefore, some people call him "The Dark Ghost".

But probably no one expected that "Dark Ghost's" voice was such a sunny and cheerful youthful voice. He rarely used his real voice to communicate with people during transactions, but Fu Siming was an exception.

When Fu Siming discovered that Fu Yao had appeared in S country, he went to look for her himself, but unexpectedly encountered Ang Zheng being surrounded and intercepted in the street.

That was one of his rare mishaps. Fu Siming saved him, and because of that incident, Ang never traded offline again. He learned the art of disguise and became the mysterious "Dark Ghost".

Over the years, he had been searching for news about Fu Yao for a long time. It was only recently, after Fu Siming announced his marriage, that Fu Yao went from being completely out of the public eye to occasionally releasing some news about him.

Ang felt that the news was somewhat unusual, but he did not mention it to Fu Siming. He simply took the news to Fu Siming for a transaction, as was his usual practice.

For Ang, Fu Siming was not only his savior but also a very generous buyer.

The information he provided was true, but it was also true that Fu Siming often returned empty-handed.

Just as Ang realized how to describe the strange source of the message and was about to warn him, the clue seemed to have been deliberately erased.

The news seemed to have been deliberately released, but it was released so carefully that it was difficult to find any flaws.

Ever since Fu Siming heard Yuan Zhao say those words, he had been wondering if he had been led by the nose by such news for too long.

Initially, he was determined to find her, but now he suddenly feels tired, and that obsession seems to have faded.

Every time news about Fu Yao comes out, the timing is very subtle. In the past, it was about the company preparing some project, but recently, it seems that every time it is related to Song Xingyao.

He seemed to have thought of something.

Fu Siming put down his long legs and strode out. He was now eager to see Song Xingyao.

Song Xingyao has been staying at the old house most of the time lately, but Jiang Man often forces her to stay because of wedding arrangements. In fact, Jiang Man seems even more excited than the people involved in the wedding.

Trying on wedding dresses was a rare occasion for them. Recently, the company's transactions had been frequently problematic, and Fu Siming was often tied up with work, so he didn't argue with his mother about trying to steal his wife.

When they arrived at the old house, Song Xingyao was already asleep on the sofa, her head resting on her palm, lying on her side on the outer side of the sofa, about to fall off if she turned over.

He stepped forward, ready to pick her up, but Song Xingyao was a light sleeper; as soon as she was lifted off the sofa, she opened her eyes.

Looking at the man's face so close to hers, Song Xingyao thought she was dreaming. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Have you finished with everything at the company?"

After saying that, she nuzzled his collar before waking up. This was the old house; how could she have fallen asleep while looking at it? Jiang Man was nowhere to be found.

"Put me down, Mom will be down in a bit."

Song Xingyao tried to break free from his embrace, but the man's hands remained firmly pressed against her back, showing no intention of letting go.

Seeing her like this, Fu Siming pretended to let go. The feeling of weightlessness made Song Xingyao naturally give up struggling and hug his neck.

"If you move again, you'll really fall." His eyes were teasing, but he still walked back to his room without stopping.

Jiang Man held the blanket she had just asked the maid to find in her hand. Seeing that it was no longer needed, and looking at the sweet scene between the two of them, she felt that it was time to prepare a baby blanket sooner.
