Chapter 26 This is her good fortune
Su Xi bumped into the man's firm pectoral muscles. It didn't hurt, but it was very embarrassing.
As she swayed, her hand accidentally grabbed the man's lean waist. The hem of his white shirt fluttered in the wind.
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
Feng Jue's long eyebrows furrowed, and his thin lips pressed into a straight line. "Woman, do you never look where you're going when you walk?"
Seeing the woman looking at him timidly, he felt inexplicably irritated, and his voice grew even colder.
"Or do you just enjoy bumping into men?"
The moment the words left her mouth, Su Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and her face flushed red. "No, Uncle, I really just didn't mean to."
Su Xi's bright eyes were like those of a startled rabbit, clear yet foolish, as if there was no place for darkness here.
Seemingly realizing that his tone had been a bit harsh, Feng Jue softened his voice, tossing out, "I've never seen such a stupid woman," before turning and walking past her.
Su Xi clenched her fist and walked towards the crowd.

"Qianqian, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for so long."
Hearing Gong Shaofan's caring and gentle voice, Ye Qingqian quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and shrugged, "What do you want from me?"
"You're my fiancée, of course I want to protect you at all times. Where did you go just now?"
Meeting the man's scrutinizing gaze, Ye Qingqian pouted and turned her back. "Of course I'll go thank Mr. Feng. Without him, I might have choked to death."
The man's suspicion vanished, and he coaxed softly, "It was my fault. If this happens again, I'll definitely kick that person away first, whether it's your cousin or my parents. Are you satisfied now?"
As he spoke, Gong Shaofan wrapped his arms around Ye Qingqian's slender waist from behind, pressed his hot body against hers, and leaned down to bite her fair earlobe.
"Hiss, stop messing around, this is a banquet." Ye Qingqian pushed him away, but he wouldn't budge. Instead, he hugged her even tighter.
His low, warm breath brushed against her ear, "If you say you forgive me, I'll let go. Or how about I come to your place tonight and kneel on durians all night, okay?"
As he spoke, his large hand climbed up from her waist and gently but restrainedly squeezed the woman's breasts before quickly withdrawing it. This did not appear frivolous; rather, it showed that he was deeply moved and unable to control himself.
His cheek was pressed tightly against Ye Qingqian's face, and the strong pounding of his heart became clearer and clearer.
The breathing became increasingly heavy and uncontrollable.
In the past, Ye Qingqian would have been moved by a man's passion, but now there was only a deathly stillness in her eyes.
Seeing that the woman in his arms was not cooperating with him at all, like a soulless rag doll, Gong Shaofan asked breathlessly, "Qianqian, are you really angry? You don't really suspect that Xia Wanqing and I have something going on, do you? I'm really innocent."
"I know you're innocent, but I almost drowned just now, and my chest still hurts a bit. You need to let go of me first."
"Oh, oh." Gong Shaofan quickly released his arms from the woman's chest, apologized repeatedly, turned around and sat down, gently pulling the woman onto his lap.
"Qianqian, should we go to the hospital to get her checked out?"
Ye Qingqian shook her head.
"By the way, your birthday is coming up soon. What gift do you want?" Gong Shaofan asked casually.
Ye Qingqian's eyes grew even darker, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
Before today, she would have thought that Gong Shaofan was all about wishing her a happy birthday, but now, all he cared about was the cooperation project between the Gong and Ye families, and also his lust for her cousin.
For that project worth tens of billions, the Ye family, out of consideration for their kinship, made concessions to cooperate with the Gong family, and the contract will be officially signed at her birthday banquet.
If he truly betrayed her, he shouldn't blame her for causing him to lose everything and ruin his reputation at the height of his success.
Seeing that Ye Qingqian didn't reply for a long time, the man bit her earlobe. "Say something? Do you want me to pack myself up and send myself to you?"
Previously, she would only feel sweet and shy about these tooth-rottingly sweet situations, but now she only feels waves of nausea.
She laughed and said, "Birthday gifts are all about surprises. You can prepare it yourself; you don't need to tell me. Just don't be too stingy, it should be at least 8 million or more."
Gong Shaofan's smile twitched slightly; this was far too ambitious. However, thinking of the Huayue project, he suppressed his urge and said softly, "Alright, I guarantee my wife will be satisfied."
After the birthday banquet, Feng Jinchen drove Su Xi back to Hongchen Ouyuan. He dropped her off at the door, but was stopped.
"Tomorrow is my first day at the new company, so I need to get some rest. You should go home now."
Feng Jinchen opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he could only sigh softly, "Alright."
He had visited Wu Yaoyao's villa once. The pregnant woman treated him like royalty, completely relaxing his tired body after a long day. Her smile also put him at ease.
He felt comfortable with her, but with Su Xi, he only felt depressed, tired, and wronged.
Perhaps we should give her some time to think things through.
The woman he most wanted to see after work, the woman he most wanted to hold in his arms at night, was only Su Xi. She was his blessing. Hopefully, she'll come to this realization soon.
As he turned around, Feng Jinchen still gently reminded her, "Xixi, you should keep your distance from your uncle in the future. His personality is unpredictable. He may be nice to you now, but he might turn on you one day."
"Okay, I understand."
Sensing the woman's dismissive tone and the fact that she didn't take his concern to heart at all, Feng Jinchen's heart sank further, and he went downstairs immediately.
This run-down neighborhood still has staircases. Why would someone choose an apartment building instead of a proper villa? Feng Jinchen really couldn't understand this little wildcat's thought process.
After smoking a cigarette in the car, Feng Jinchen's eyes flickered with a mixture of light and shadow. Halfway there, the luxury car finally changed direction and headed towards Wu Yaoyao's villa.
The next day, Su Xi walked to Guangyao Technology.
The administrator processed Su Xi's onboarding, showed her around the company, introduced her to the different departments and colleagues, and finally took her to her own department, pointing to the woman in the red dress at the head of the department and introducing her, "This is Wu Qingluan, the team leader of the overseas dispatch department."
Su Xi narrowed her eyes.
"We meet again. Welcome to Guangyao." Wu Qingluan's smile was generous and polite, but Su Xi did not miss the scheming look that flashed in her eyes.
"Our company doesn't accept employees who are all talk and no action, or who have a princess complex. Ms. Su looks like she's hardworking and down-to-earth. Isn't that right?"
Su Xi nodded.
Wu Qingluan's smile widened, a glint of triumph flashing in her eyes. "Well then, Aunt Zhang, the cleaning lady, is on leave. The toilet is a bit dirty, so I'll have to trouble you to clean it."
Su Xi pursed her lips, raised her head, and stared straight at Wu Qingluan.
"What? You're not going to refuse? When I first joined a Fortune 500 company, I started by cleaning toilets. The toilets were so clean you could drink the water from them. There's no such thing as a lowly job, and that's always been the case in the workplace. If you can't handle it, you might as well find a man and get married sooner rather than later."
