Inside the car, Chu Fang's body swayed with the movement of the vehicle, and before he knew it, he fell into Zhong Tingyue's arms.
“I’m driving.” Zhong Tingyue slapped away the restless hands.
"I'm driving too!" Chu Fang said righteously.
"You're always causing me trouble." Zhong Tingyue's tone was full of disdain. "You made me cry but you don't have the ability to make me feel better."
“Hey, Zhong Tingyue, what you’re saying is slander, insult, and spreading rumors.” Upon hearing this, Chu Fang sat up straight immediately.
He wanted to repaint his image and couldn't let it be tarnished.
Zhong Tingyue smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, you're very capable, alright?"
"That's right!" Chu Fang's chin was held high.
Zhong Tingyue shrugged.
It's that simple to coax a man; it's not much different from coaxing a child.
Men are essentially children.
When the couple returned home, Chu Zhi was reading a book, while Chu Jin was staring intently at the TV, drooling. On the TV was a handsome young man, none other than her favorite boy band idol, 'Bai Gaolang'.
Upon seeing Bai Gaolang, Zhong Tingyue immediately sat down on the sofa and looked at the young man.
The mother and son were completely absorbed in watching.
"Mother, I love Bai Gaolang," Chu Jin said softly. "I want to marry him."
"no!"
"Why?"
"I like your mother too."
Chu Fang was speechless: "Am I not more handsome than Bai Gaolang?"
“Mr. Chu is handsome too,” Zhong Tingyue said, “but… ”
"No buts, I'm just more handsome than him!"
Just then, the TV screen flickered, and another handsome boy appeared on it. Chu Fang happened to recognize him; he was 'Qiao Zhenghong,' who had been involved in a scandal with Chu Yi a few days ago.
On television, Qiao Zhenghong said, "I really like Chu Yi. Her singing and music have deeply attracted me. If possible, I hope to have further contact with her."
Then Qiao Zhenghong's image disappeared.
Chu Fang frowned deeply.
Chu Jin said, "I don't like Qiao Zhenghong, and I don't want him to be my uncle."
Zhong Tingyue: "Is this a publicity stunt?"
Chu Zhi also withdrew his gaze; "Qiao Zhenghong has phoenix eyes with drooping corners, which in physiognomy is a sign of a deep mind. The distance between his eyebrows and eyes is narrow, which may indicate that he is petty and calculative."
Chu Fang looked at his son and asked, "When did you learn about physiognomy?"
Chu Zhi also held up his book, "The Divine Physiognomist in Hemp Robes," and said, "It's written very clearly here that Qiao Zhenghong is not a good person. Dad, you should persuade Aunt."
... ...
Late at night, in a top-tier bar in Shanghai, deafening music, colorful lights, and dancers swaying wildly...
Shao Bowen rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.
As a man in his fifties, he was really not comfortable in such a setting.
While Qin Jun went to the restroom, Shao Bowen said to the woman in the cheongsam, "Stop playing around, hurry up and get Qin Jun settled, then the company will sign the contract."
"Understood." The woman in the cheongsam nodded.
When Qin Jun returned from the restroom, the woman in the cheongsam suggested that the two companies sign a contract, which Qin Jun readily agreed to.
Hearing this, Shao Bowen breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Fang's youthful face involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Hmph! Kid, you're still too green to fight me."
Immediately, Shao Bowen and Qin Jun signed the contract on the spot. Just as they were about to put down their pen, Qin Jun received a phone call and immediately terminated the cooperation between the two companies.
"President Qin, what do you mean by this?" Shao Bowen asked, puzzled.
Qin Jun clasped his hands in apology: "I'm sorry, President Shao, our cooperation will be temporarily suspended."
After saying that, Qin Jun left. The woman in the cheongsam wanted to follow him, but he refused, got into a taxi, and left the bar.
I watched the car disappear into the night.
Shao Bowen's brows were furrowed so deeply they resembled a continuous mountain range.
What's going on?
"Why did the cooperation suddenly end? Could it be...?"
Shao Bowen immediately thought of Chu Fang's existence.
"Could it be that kid pulled some kind of trick?"
Shao Bowen asked, "Who has Mr. Qin been in contact with recently?"
"No, I've just been playing these past few days."
"Think about it again, especially the day I took you to meet President Qin. Did that handsome young man ever meet President Qin?"
The woman in the cheongsam thought carefully for a moment and said, "No."
Shao Bowen's thoughts gradually sank.
Chu Fang's radiant smile flashed through his mind, and he felt more and more that his chances of winning the bet were getting smaller and smaller.
... ...
In the early morning, when Zhong Tingyue saw her husband get up, she touched her own forehead, then touched Chu Fang's forehead, and murmured, "He doesn't have a fever."
"Zhong Tingyue, what do you mean?"
Why are you up so early?
"work."
Zhong Tingyue froze for a few seconds, then panicked: "Mr. Chu, is something on your mind? Please don't keep it to yourself, tell me, and I'll comfort you. Do you not like me looking at Bai Gaolang anymore? Actually, I don't like him that much, I'm just bored. He's not as good as Mr. Chu in any way."
"Mr. Chu, you're actually quite skilled. You often make me hurt quite a bit. I'm just putting you down because I want to get the better of you verbally, so please don't take it to heart..."
These past few days, Chu Fang has been getting up very early and going to work early.
This is completely inconsistent with Zhong Tingyue's perception of her husband.
She then wondered if her husband had some kind of mental problem.
"Could it be that Mr. Chu's psychological emptiness has returned?"
Chu Fang stood on the bed, his right foot on Zhong Tingyue's forehead, hands on his hips: "So, were you wrong?"
"I was wrong," Zhong Tingyue apologized.
"It's good that you made a mistake." Chu Fang put his foot down. "I went to the company these past few days not because I had a problem or felt empty, but because I felt that something good was going to happen."
Looking at her husband's radiant smile, Zhong Tingyue realized that she had been overthinking things.
Zhong Tingyue gritted her teeth: "You're playing me!"
"I didn't trick you, you're just imagining that I'm crazy."
"Chu Fang, you're playing me."
"I don't."
"Chu Fang, you tricked me!!!"
The whole house was in turmoil all morning.
Chu Jin's eyes gleamed with golden light: "Fight, fight, fight! Kill, kill, kill! Kill until rivers of blood flow, the heavens and earth are turned upside down, mountains are burned and seas are boiled."
Chu Zhi simply ate in silence.
