Chapter 7 The CEO's Professional Ethics #Hot! Industrial Saccharin VS Heaven...

Even while talking to his grandfather, Fu Yanli would extend a finger to Xu Wenci and wink at him.

To others, the two seemed to be whispering secrets to each other, so everyone just watched the drama unfold.

"President Fu is so good to her young boyfriend, she's worried he might not be comfortable in this kind of setting..."

"However, I've never heard of President Fu having anyone he likes before."

"How could they possibly let us know about something like this?"

I know, I know. I witnessed their relationship. [Raises hand][Raises hand][Raises hand]

I know that too. I can even tell you when they first met. [Proud][Proud][Proud]

I really want to see them kiss! [Looking forward to it][Looking forward to it][Looking forward to it]

[Upstairs, this episode is a bit sexually suggestive, isn't it? [shy][shy][shy]]

Xu Wenci was speechless and rubbed his forehead. Fu Yanli wasn't showing concern for him, his nominal partner, at all. He was just showing off how well he was doing and asking for a small cake.

Does Fu Yanli have nothing else on his mind but cakes and ice cream?

How many years has it been since I've eaten something like this? It's so rare!

And the comments section is constantly causing trouble...

"Grandpa, where's my dad?" Fu Yanli exchanged a few pleasantries with his grandfather before getting down to business.

"He'll be here in a bit."

"Um."

"And another thing," the old man seemed hesitant, his sharp eagle eyes narrowing, but he didn't dare to look Fu Yanli in the eye, "you've heard about your father's... what do you think about that?!"

Xu Wenci, who could be faintly heard, exclaimed: "Wow! How dare this family ask Fu Yanli for his opinion! If he were Fu Yanli, he would have smashed the whole house to pieces! Their biological father is practically half-buried, yet he can still stand up!!! And he even has a little son!!!"

Fu Yanli didn't seem to care much about it. "I've heard about it."

He took a sip of champagne, frowned, and admitted it didn't taste very good.

Looks like that little black flower guy has good taste! I'll give him that bottle of rose gold champagne I swiped from the old man later; it's a much prettier color than this.

Wow, they've finally gotten to the cleavage stage? I've been waiting forever! [Excited][Wink]

[The seme's younger brother probably won't make it into the story! He was just born...]

[Yes, but the top doesn't seem flustered at all, truly the professional demeanor of a domineering CEO [definitely][definitely][definitely]]

I'm even more gossipy than everyone else in the banquet hall! [Looking forward to it][Looking forward to it]

"So... does your mother know?" The old man always spoke of his mother with a strange attitude, as if he was somewhat afraid, yet also showed a contradictory disdain.

After all, Fu Yanli's mother, Ye Qingdai, was an extremely strong woman. She later remarried and had a daughter who took her mother's surname, but she always granted Fu Yanli's every request. If she knew that Fu Rongzhen was acting so recklessly, she would definitely chop him up herself.

[I heard the seme's mother is an exceptionally outstanding person; I wonder when she'll appear! According to this, the seme's father is terrified of his mother. [spinning][spinning][spinning]]

[Waaaa, if it weren't for the seme's mother, he might have been bullied to death when he was a child [waaaa][sad]]

My heart aches for you. [Sad]

Xu Wenci rolled his eyes.

Fu Yanli doesn't seem like the kind of person who would let himself be bullied.

"I don't know," Fu Yanli glanced at the old man's expression, couldn't help but smile, and stared down at the champagne in his hand. "He probably doesn't know."

"This is..."

"They might already know." He slightly raised his eyes, his deep purple eyes as calm and still as an ancient well, without a ripple. The cold light from the crystal chandelier shone on his profile, casting a shadow on his neck with his smooth jawline. He turned his head, his gaze sweeping lightly over Xu Wenci, but he took the opportunity to wink at Xu Wenci, signaling him to hide in a corner while he was about to unleash his killing spree.

"What..." The old man was so anxious he almost spun around on the spot.

Xu Wenci: He never realized that Fu Yanli was actually quite wicked, and that he was just fooling around with his grandfather.

But he still obediently hid in a more distant place.

Is the seme trying to scare his grandpa? [Rubbing eyes][Incredulous]

[What do you know, upstairs? This is strategy!!! [rolls eyes] All's fair in war [starry eyes]]

Fu Yanli finally felt relieved, took a step forward, and stood no more than an inch away from his grandfather. He said in a voice that was only for the two of them, "Grandpa, my mother already knows. Guess why my father hasn't come yet."

His voice was soft, yet it seemed to carry a knife, each word piercing the old man's heart. "My mother hates illegitimate children the most, but she hates men who can't control their lower bodies and end up having illegitimate children even more."

"Grandpa, you'd better keep your illegitimate child a secret, otherwise, even before my mother hears about it, my uncle will fight you to the death."

What is the seme whispering about? I wish I could be a waiter and eavesdrop! [Leaning against the wall][Ears perked up]

[They're definitely threatening someone, but they can't make it too public and look bad. [Shrug]]

Why hasn't the "white moonlight" character appeared yet? I remember she was supposed to appear in this part of the story. [Confused]

With the plot unfolding so far ahead of schedule, some plot holes are to be expected. After all, I feel like the author just wrote whatever came to mind in their dreams [facepalm][facepalm][facepalm]

Please, please, don't let the "white moonlight" (ideal love interest) reappear! This couple finally gets a sweet moment together! [Please][Please][Please]

[Upstairs, do you see any mutual affection in this industrial saccharin? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, okay? [choking][choking][choking]]

[Agreed, I'm still following it because I want to see how the author will manage to carve delicate patterns on the stench of their own creation. [Bored][Sleepy]]

The chaotic barrage of comments didn't affect Fu Yanli's tense standoff with his grandfather, nor did it stop Xu Wenci from watching the show.

The old man slammed his cane down and glared at Fu Yanli, "Don't forget, you're also a member of the Fu family."

Fu Yanli remained silent.

What a joke! Domineering CEOs are always lonely! I don't care about that kind of family!

On the road to becoming a powerful, aloof, and domineering CEO, one's family will eventually drift away.

However, Xu Wenci said that his mother was still alive in the finale, and the entire script would not contain any plot that would harm his mother.

As long as Mom is alive, I don't care about the rest of my family.

"Dad, you're here too..." Fu Yanli's father, Fu Rongzhen, chuckled awkwardly, intending to fool his father for now.

"Stop!" the old man shouted sternly. Then, realizing he might be disturbing others, he pulled his troublesome son out of the banquet hall, tossing his cane to the good-for-nothing son as well. "Come out with me."

【Huh~ Why is the male lead's father here too? [frowning][angry] I remember he's the one who brought the white moonlight into this world. [sharpening][sharpening]】

【I'll also make a cut [raise hand][raise knife]】

I remember his youngest son was still very young at that time. Didn't the youngest son only start causing trouble for the seme when he turned one year old? [Stunned][Recall]

Who cares! Although the plot is a bit hard to follow right now, I'm honestly more curious about how the rest of the story will turn out. [Looking forward to it][Looking forward to it]

[Ugh! [Disgusted][Disgusted][Disgusted] The person upstairs is a pervert! [Back away][Back away][Back away]]

Fu Yanli tugged at the edge of his sleeve and lowered his head in thought.

Xu Wenci strode over, nudged Fu Yanli lightly with his elbow, rested one hand on the table, and tapped the corner of the table rhythmically with his fingers. "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"Xixianglou has introduced new dim sum."

Xu Wenci: "Don't even think about it."

Fu Yanli: If I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it! I'm just a pitiful apple.

What did you say to your grandfather? He looked so scared.

Fu Yanli didn't answer, but suddenly moved closer to him and changed the subject: "It's raining."

Xu Wenci raised his head and looked at Fu Yanli blankly. His breath seemed to be filled with the dampness of rain and the faint scent of newly sprouted grass, but without any heavy smell of soil.

It really rained! [Surprised] I thought the guy was just trying to change the subject. [Surprised]

Don't forget, domineering CEOs never lie. [Definitely][Definitely][Definitely]

The shimmering light from the crystal chandelier fell on Xu Wenci's eyes as he looked up. Fu Yanli lowered his head slightly and turned his eyes away.

"What exactly did you say? Why are you bringing up whether it's raining or not?!" Xu Wenci asked anxiously.

“I said,” Fu Yanli waved slightly at Xu Wenci, and when Xu Wenci came closer, he whispered, “I said I’m going to tell my mother.”

Xu Wenci exclaimed in surprise, "How old are you? All you do is tattle."

The interaction between the young couple is so heartwarming [wiping away tears][wiping away tears]

[Agree +1]

"You actually tattled on us!" Xu Wenci frowned speechlessly, moved even closer to him, tugged at his sleeve, and his tone suddenly became somewhat excited, "It seems like someone is watching us."

Fu Yanli looked down at him and nodded slightly, seemingly thinking about something. But a second later, Fu Yanli's fingertips moved slightly and touched Xu Wenci's cheek.

Xu Wenci smiled, suppressing the urge to jump up and punch Fu Yanli twice. He gritted his teeth, but his voice was only audible to the two of them: "Are you looking for death?!"

"I'm innocent! Isn't this just a show that needs to be performed properly?" Fu Yanli shrugged innocently. "The auction later might be even more outrageous than this."

Xu Wenci sighed, "I really regret it."

Waaaaah.

The grumpy dinosaur regretted it.

Oh my god! Aren't I the main character? Why is my destined one leaving me?!

Ahhh, even though some people say this is industrial saccharin, these little gestures are so natural! [Chin resting on hand][Chin resting on hand][Chin resting on hand]

[Upstairs [dislike][dislike][dislike]]

No, did I get in your way? [Angry]

[You know how to criticize an author when you're disgusted by their plot, but I find you disgusting, and I'm not even allowed to say anything? [glaring]]

I pay for a meal, and if it's not good, I'll definitely complain [angry]. But what you and I have is a moral issue, and you're trying to argue by comparing two different types of problems [eye roll][eye roll][eye roll]

[Stop arguing, there are too many comments, I can't read them all [push]]

"Why are you looking so long-faced? You'll give yourself away soon." This was the first time Xu Wenci had ever met someone like Fu Yanli, who was unpredictable but always prone to outbursts of anger.

“I’m very sad,” Fu Yanli sighed heavily, his eyes drooping, “because I’m not a domineering person, and I don’t know if I can act well.”

"You drama queen, you've been acting for so many years, are you sure you don't have it all figured out?" Xu Wenci wrinkled his nose, really not understanding Fu Yanli's sudden desire to perform.

[Speaking of which, the attacker's grandfather definitely won't let this go easily; he'll surely try to sabotage things behind the scenes...]

[And the top's uncle...]

[The seme has way too many enemies...]

Finally, someone got down to business.

Xu Wenci blinked.

A note from the author:

Fu Yanli: Don't disturb my performance yet. [Entering the role]
