But I don't expect that madman to let me off easily.
He wouldn't let me have any more children, so I let Makino continue to focus on his concerts, and I also had to continue my own work.
All I want to do now is work hard and realize my self-worth.
After a few days of rest, the office is piled high with work.
I receive numerous variety show offers from various production teams, which I need to screen and arrange suitable variety show opportunities for the artists I have on hand.
There are also many brand endorsement collaborations, magazine covers, brand event promotions...
"Sister Qiao, why haven't you gone to the cafeteria yet? They're out of food. Do you want me to order takeout for you?" Mengmeng knocked on the door and came in.
I rolled my dry eyes. "I'm not hungry, Mengmeng. Could you get me a glass of water? Thank you."
I'm actually very hungry, but I don't want to eat anything unless I finish all the urgent work at hand.
Mengmeng poured me a glass of warm water, went out, and then knocked on the door and came back in a short while later.
"Sister Qiao, Mr. Fu asked me to bring you this lunch!"
The moment I heard "President Fu," my scalp tingled. I was afraid he would bother me again, and I really didn't have time to waste with him right now.
Mengmeng placed the tote bag on my table. I glanced at it and saw that it was a takeout bag from a private restaurant. This restaurant never does takeout business; it only has a fixed group of customers.
The aroma of chicken soup gradually filled the air, mixed with a hint of Chinese medicine, like the scent of motherwort.
"Let's leave it for now."
I said something casually and continued looking at the computer screen.
After being busy for a while, I took ten minutes to eat.
I was afraid that Fu Yanshen would suddenly come to check on me, and if I hadn't eaten, he would start bothering me again.
However, I didn't see him come over all afternoon, and he didn't call me either.
It was late at night, and the lobby outside was pitch black; I was the only one still working overtime.
I yawned wearily.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
So late, who's still here?
"Enter."
I responded and continued reading the documents.
I sensed someone entering through the doorway, accompanied by a cool, refreshing woody scent.
"It's so late, aren't you going home yet?" A deep, magnetic male voice came from behind.
I looked up.
It was the first time I had seen Fu Yanshen in several days.
He stood diagonally opposite my desk, dressed in a suit and tie, his handsome, pale face bearing a faint smile, his eyes gentle.
He appears to be a refined and cultured person.
I'm really afraid he'll go crazy in a second.
"There's another document to review," I said coldly, subtly testing the waters.
Fu Yanshen raised his hand and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist. "In three minutes, the entire building will lose power."
I checked the time too, it's 10:30 pm, how come the power went out?
He's lying to me, isn't he?
It seems like there's no reason for them to lie to me.
I closed the file, put it in my bag, and took it home to read.
He and I left my office one after the other. Before we even reached the elevator, the corridor suddenly went dark. I was startled and clenched my fists.
Fu Yanshen turned on his phone's flashlight, illuminating the dark environment.
“Much bolder,” he said casually.
I looked at him and saw a fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes.
Does he want me to be like before, so scared that I would run into his arms when the power goes out?
"Get in my car, I'll take you home."
In the underground parking lot, he spoke, his tone ambiguous, neither a command nor a threat.
He opened the passenger door of my G-Class for me.
An hour later, I arrived at the bottom of my apartment building.
After I got out of the car, Fu Yanshen quickly followed me.
I knew he wouldn't let me off easily.
He followed me into the elevator and upstairs.
I clenched my fists tightly, suppressing the urge to turn against him.
When I got to the door, I hesitated to open it.
Fu Yanshen looked at me and said, "Go inside and get some sleep."
Listening to his words, I looked at him in surprise.
He looked at me too, his eyes gentle, the corners of his lips slightly upturned, and he parted his thin lips slightly, saying, "Goodnight."
good evening?
I was slightly taken aback.
Was he real or fake? He even said "goodnight" to me.
How could such gentle and gentlemanly words possibly come from the mouth of a beast like Fu Yanshen, who only knows how to seize and plunder?
It was said to me.
Did he have his soul switched?
I nervously opened the door, went inside, and kept thinking as I closed the door that he might force his way in.
However, that didn't happen.
...
In the following days, whenever I was at the company, he would bring me lunch and dinner. He didn't make things difficult for me at the company, and whenever I worked overtime at night, he would drive me home.
Makino's second concert was held in the beautiful island city of Los Angeles.
Even after the concert ended, the enthusiasm of Makino's fans, the "Wild Grass" (a nickname for the band), remained high, and they lingered, shouting for an encore.
After I communicated with the organizers, Muye, who had already taken a shower and removed her makeup, went on stage again and sang five songs.
The boy wore the same white cultural T-shirt as his fans, paired with jeans and canvas shoes. During the five-hour performance, he was still full of energy, jumping and singing on stage.
Even after the concert ended, the fans refused to leave, blocking the exit for the performers and staff so that we couldn't get out.
Makino could only disguise himself as an ordinary person and leave through the audience exit.
Traffic in the vicinity was paralyzed, and our car was stuck in a traffic jam. We had no choice but to walk to a less congested area and then hail a taxi.
Makino, a creative person, loves adventure and taking the road less traveled. He guided me along all sorts of winding paths, avoiding straight main roads, following the navigation.
"ah!"
