Chapter 236 (Third Update) This kind of happiness is beyond words...
When Fu's mother returned from dropping her child off at school, she didn't see her husband and mother-in-law in the living room, guessing that her husband might have gone downstairs for a walk with his mother.
The daughter-in-law was already getting ready, wolfing down her food, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Tang Mingli had just stuffed a sesame ball into her mouth, making it so full that she couldn't speak clearly and could only gurgle and laugh.
Unable to hear clearly, Mrs. Fu continued, "We're old, so we can't sleep too late. You young people should sleep as much as you can."
Tang Mingli finally swallowed the sesame ball.
Now that I can speak freely, I can talk back to my mother-in-law.
"Mom, I could still bear to hear you say that when I was a young girl in my twenties, but now that I'm over thirty, I'm embarrassed to hear you say that. Even if I have a thick skin, I'll blush."
Upon hearing the number, Mrs. Fu was stunned.
In her heart, her daughter-in-law was still that pretty girl in her early twenties.
Fortunately, being in her thirties is still young, not to mention that Tang Mingli looks much younger than her actual age.
At this moment, Fu Ci, dressed neatly, also came out of the room.
Wearing a suit and tie, Fu's mother rarely saw her son so serious, and jokingly asked, "Dressed so formally, are you going to a meeting?"
Fu Ci explained gently, "There is a chamber of commerce banquet I need to attend."
Tang Mingli quickly wiped her mouth and said to her husband, "Give me ten minutes."
He was about to rush into the room when Fu Ci stopped him.
Fu Ci, fearing that she might panic in her haste, said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of time."
Tang Mingli gave an OK sign.
It's true that it only takes her ten minutes to put on light makeup.
Fu's mother understood; it turned out that her son and daughter-in-law were going out together.
She asked her son, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
Fu Ci shook his head. "That's exactly what I was thinking. We don't need to cook dinner tonight."
"Okay." Mother Fu didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, with her son around, she wouldn't let her daughter-in-law go hungry.
In less than ten minutes, Tang Mingli had completely tidied herself up.
With light makeup and her hair combed, the dress she was wearing, which was originally nothing special, suddenly became dazzling.
Fu Ci rarely saw his wife wearing makeup, and he was amazed by how stunning she looked.
After leaving home, he jokingly remarked, "It seems my wife is going to dazzle everyone."
Tang Mingli rolled her eyes at him; she wouldn't believe him.
A businessman has seen all kinds of beautiful women.
Sure enough, three hours later, when she arrived at the banquet, she saw many beautiful young ladies.
Everyone loves beauty, and Tang Mingli is no exception.
Looking around, one beautiful young lady after another dazzled the eye and put me in a great mood.
However, he was interrupted after only a short while of admiring it.
Someone came up and greeted Fu Ci.
"Mr. Fu, long time no see." After greeting him, he looked at Tang Mingli beside him, "Mr. Fu finally brought a female companion this year, and not just this beautiful lady..."
Tang Mingli immediately understood what he was worried about; he was afraid that she might not be Fu Ci's wife.
Tsk tsk, men.
However, she was also secretly pleased, as she learned from this statement that Fu Ci had always attended such banquets alone in previous years.
Young Master Fu is like a lotus rising from the mud, untainted by its filth.
Fu Ci proudly introduced the other person: "This is my wife."
After saying that, he introduced the other person to Tang Mingli: "This is Mr. Li, the general manager of Hesheng Electronics."
Tang Mingli didn't know about Hesheng Electronics, but that didn't matter.
She greeted him warmly: "Mr. Li, it's an honor to meet you."
Mr. Li quickly greeted her, saying, "It is my honor to meet Mrs. Fu today."
During the chat, quite a few people came over and greeted Fu Ci.
The process was basically unrelated to Mr. Li from Hesheng. After exchanging greetings, he became curious about who Tang Mingli was and offered to introduce her to both sides.
While dealing with the crowd, Tang Mingli muttered to herself that her husband was much more outstanding than she had thought, and had become the center of a small circle. Otherwise, why would these people be so enthusiastic and take the initiative to greet her?
After meeting a group of male bosses, a female boss finally came over just as they sat down.
Although she had just sat down and was about to stand up again, Tang Mingli didn't feel impatient at all when she saw such a heroic and capable female boss.
Although she's a laid-back person, she greatly admires women who are capable and daring.
"Fu Ci, why are you here so early today?"
As soon as the other person approached, she greeted Fu Ci with a smile.
Fu Ci politely replied with a nonsensical remark: "I came with my wife today."
It was obvious that the other person's smile faltered when they heard Fu Ci say that he had come with his wife.
But it was only for a moment; he quickly adjusted his expression again.
"Is this your wife?" After saying this, he pretended to look Tang Mingli up and down.
Fu Ci gave a faint "hmm" and turned to introduce Tang Mingli: "This is the general manager of Fulin Hotel, surnamed Fu."
"Although the pronunciation is the same, I am the Fu in 'When birds fly high, they also fly to the sky'."
Tang Mingli smiled and naturally said, "How can one know the heart of another? Hello, Manager Fu."
The other person was taken aback when Tang Mingli said the next sentence.
It's worth noting that this poem is rarely heard, and she had only memorized a few lines containing the character "Fu" to appear more cultured when introducing herself. She never expected the other person to know it.
"Hello. Just call me Hongxue." Fu Hongxue's smile was somewhat forced.
However, Tang Mingli misheard it as Hongxue, and now it was her turn to be stunned.
Fu Hongxue is a character in a famous wuxia novel. However, it probably wasn't available for sale in mainland China at that time.
Fu Hongxue, a seasoned veteran of the business world, quickly recovered from his disappointment and returned to the fray.
“I had heard Fu Ci mention his wife back in his hometown before, but seeing her in person is truly a different story.”
Hometown.
Tang Mingli muttered to herself.
That's the provincial capital.
It's as if she's some kind of old-fashioned country lady who's not presentable to others.
What disappointed her even more was that such a beautiful and capable woman would lose her charm because of a man.
The thought that the other party might be spying on her stock price increase made her lose all interest.
She's beautiful and capable; she could have any man she wanted. Why would she fall for a married man?
Tang Mingli just smiled and didn't respond to Fu Hongxue's words.
Fu Ci was also unhappy when he heard her say that, and he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
No one responded to her for a moment, which made Fu Hongxue feel a little embarrassed.
After awkwardly exchanging a few words, I returned to my seat.
Tang Mingli sat down again, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
No wonder Fu Ci has remained untainted by scandals despite navigating the business world for several years; it's all thanks to his ruthlessness.
See? From now on, men shouldn't blame their mistakes on "she insisted on coming up to him."
If you are resolute, even Daji herself won't come near you.
Actually, she was a little excited just now. After so many years of marriage, it had been uneventful. Finally, she met someone who coveted her talents, and she was hoping to make a difference. But it seems that she still won't have a chance to use her abilities.
Thinking of this, Tang Mingli sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Fu Ci heard her sigh and looked over, only to see her looking 'so regretful'.
Although he had never been involved in any sex scandals over the years, he wasn't stupid. Considering the recent passing of Fu Hongxue, he could easily understand what was going on.
He was both funny and helpless.
How could a wife feel regret about such a thing?
He must have spoiled her too much. I have to teach her a lesson when we get home tonight.
-
The banquet ended a little after 1 a.m.
As she left the villa, Tang Mingli finally couldn't help but let out a burp.
This meal was so satisfying.
She thought today's meeting would be about discussing important matters in the business world, at least making plans, painting a rosy picture, and boosting morale.
But it turned out that the chamber of commerce president gave a speech before the banquet started, and then it was just eating and drinking.
Wealthy people know how to eat. Although this place is remote and transportation is inconvenient, those who can come here are all prominent people from all walks of life, and owning their own car is a basic requirement.
Whether the transportation is convenient or not is not their concern; what they care about is whether the environment is elegant and whether the food is delicious.
A satisfied Tang Mingli said to her husband, "I can accompany you to these kinds of banquets in the future."
Fu Ci understood her little scheme perfectly well and laughed at her, calling her a "glutton."
However, she agreed anyway, and was even quite happy about it.
After getting into the car, Tang Mingli asked Fu Ci, "Where to next?"
Although I told my family I wouldn't be home for dinner, I got back around 3 p.m., so it wouldn't affect my cooking at all.
However, if he resigns but wants to return to the company, that's a different story.
Fu Ci smiled and said, "Shall we go for a walk?"
They haven't taken a leisurely stroll together in a very long time.
Tang Mingli certainly wouldn't say it was bad. It was perfect; she could take a nap on the way back so she'd be refreshed and ready to go shopping.
The two of them hadn't gone on a date in a really, really long time.
The thought of going on a date made Tang Mingli smile even in her sleep.
Fu Ci caught a glimpse of his sleeping wife's smile out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but smile as well, thinking she was having a sweet dream.
She's already a mother, yet she still dreams sweet dreams; perhaps only she can maintain this innocence.
To make his wife more comfortable, Fu Ci drove very slowly and steadily, so steadily that Tang Mingli was completely unaware.
Even after the car had stopped, Fu Ci looked at her, who was still fast asleep, glanced at the time, and still couldn't bear to wake her up immediately.
So I sat in the car and quietly watched my wife's sleeping face for nearly half an hour until she woke up.
Tang Mingli opened her eyes and was in a daze for a few seconds before realizing that she was in the car.
I glanced at the time; it was already past four o'clock. They had obviously been there for quite some time.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Fu Ci said softly, "You're sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to wake you."
"You know I sleep soundly."
"That's really true," Fu Ci smiled, pursing his lips.
Tang Mingli laughed along with her.
Besides her, there is probably no other wife in the world who can so confidently say in front of her husband that she can sleep with anyone.
This feeling is truly blissful.
This kind of happiness is indescribable; it cannot be understood without experiencing it firsthand.
