Chapter 92 Fulfilling Marital Obligations
"What is it? Let me see." Su Xi disregarded the difference between men and women and leaned over to look, but the man quickly put the documents back into the box and put them back in their original place.
"We can't stay here long, it will arouse suspicion." The man pulled Su Xi away from the study without giving her a chance to object.
"Xixi, where did you go?"
When Feng Jinchen saw Su Xi, he subconsciously glanced behind her, subtly checking whether the woman's clothes had been touched.
He had just discovered that his uncle was also missing; it was yet another case of two people disappearing at the same time.
Seeing the suspicion and distrust in the man's eyes, Su Xi sneered, "You've already brought your mistress into our home, and now you're using a microscope to be suspicious of your wife without any reason. Don't you think your behavior is ridiculous?"
Feng Jinchen's expression stiffened for a moment. "I'm just concerned about you. What are you thinking?"
During the meal, Feng Jue was somewhat lost in thought. Occasionally, his eyes would meet Su Xi's, but he would immediately look away.
Su Xi saw a hint of... apprehension in the man's eyes; she must have been seeing things.
"Xixi, the amber winter melon is light and refreshing, you should try it." Feng Jinchen placed the dish on Su Xi's plate.
"Mr. Feng, I can't reach that dish. Could you please get me some? I've been having severe morning sickness lately, and I can't eat much meat or fish."
Feng Jinchen paused in his chopsticks, pretending not to hear.
Wu Yaoyao's face paled, but she still managed a brave smile for those around her, indicating that she was alright.
Liu Yufeng couldn't stand it anymore, "Son, serve Yao Yao some food, it won't tire you out!"
"Yeah, bro, is this how you treat your guests?"
Feng Jinchen gave the mother and daughter a warning look.
Seeing that Wu Yaoyao was about to cry, Liu Yufeng slammed down her chopsticks and lost her appetite. "Su Xi, you can have some."
"Mom, don't go too far." Feng Jinchen frowned.
"Alright, it's no big deal. Jinchen, get some food for my grandson!"
Feng Hanhai's authority was still there, so Feng Jinchen simply placed the entire plate of amber winter melon in front of Wu Yaoyao and said in a deep voice, "Want to eat it? Eat it all."
"Okay." As if oblivious to the sarcasm in the man's words, the woman burst into laughter through her tears. From an angle unseen by others, she glanced defiantly at Su Xi out of the corner of her eye.
Su Xi's mind was solely focused on Feng Jue; the man hadn't yet told her what the information in the small box was.
Feng Jue clearly hadn't listened to the farce that had just happened and seemed to be lost in thought.
Feng Hanhai looked at him, "What's wrong with you? You seem distracted?"
"fine."
After dinner, Su Xi wanted to find an opportunity to ask about that matter, but Feng Jue put down his chopsticks and left.
"Son, Yao Yao is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to go home. Please take her home."
Seeing that Su Xi seemed indifferent and absent-minded, Feng Jinchen felt a surge of annoyance but still said, "I'll take her, but who will take Xi Xi?"
"Give it to whoever you want."
"Mom, this is a villa area on a hillside, it's hard to get a taxi here."
"Oh, why don't you take her to see Yao Yao off first, and then you can go home? Or you can just stay and keep Yao Yao company. It's pointless for that woman to keep you company; she can't have children anyway."
"Mom, you're not allowed to talk to my wife like that."
"You're not allowed to talk to your mother like that either," Feng Hanhai said as he walked over.
Seeing Su Xi's completely indifferent attitude, Feng Jinchen immediately lost his fighting spirit, and a wave of exhaustion and powerlessness washed over him.
He was racking his brains trying to reason with his parents, but Su Xi acted as if nothing was wrong. Did he even consider her his wife?
"Su Xi, what do you think?" His tone wasn't very friendly.
Su Xi glanced at Feng Jinchen. "Do I have any right to speak here?"
"Fine, Wu Yaoyao, get in the car!" The man was clearly sulking.
"Thank you, Mr. Feng."
"Silly child, why call me President Feng? Call me husband."
Wu Yaoyao happily sat in the passenger seat.
Under Feng Jinchen's glare, Su Xi opened the car door and got in, finding it amusing. It was clearly the man who wanted to enjoy the best of both worlds, yet he took his anger out on her.
As soon as the car entered Qiushui Villa, Su Xi's smile vanished.
This is a well-known wealthy area, worth at least 1 billion. She, the legal wife, spent tens of millions of dollars on a man who made her pay back the money and bankrupted her uncle's company, yet now she's willing to spend lavishly on real estate for her mistress.
She had always believed that this man loved her, but that he was blinded by other women and seduced by lust. Only now has she truly come to her senses.
The money she's reluctant to spend is money that many women are willing to spend. The money a man is unwilling to spend on her is also willing to use to woo other women.
She had a winning hand, but she turned it into a joke.
As soon as the man got into the car, he sensed the oppressive atmosphere inside and saw the woman's extremely cold expression. His eyes flickered.
“Xixi, this villa isn’t for that woman, it’s for the child. That’s our child too.”
When a man can't reason with a woman, he has no choice but to start the car.
After getting out of the car at the villa, the woman's expression remained cold. Feng Jinchen let out a long breath, still smiling as he stepped forward to put his arm around her.
"Get out, don't touch me."
The woman ruthlessly shook off his hand.
Several servants happened to be passing by, their eyes flashing with shock, before they lowered their heads and quickly slipped away.
Feng Jinchen found it extremely unsightly, grabbed the woman's clothes, and pulled her over.
"I already told you, that villa was bought for the child, what are you still making a fuss about? Do you know what Wu Yaoyao did just now? She massaged my shoulders and back, brought me hot water to wash my feet, but I still left her to come find you. Can't you be a little more considerate?"
"Do you know that she might be..."
The man's words trailed off. It wasn't convenient to discuss this matter yet. He thought of Wu Yaoyao, who might be of such high status yet willingly humbled herself before him, and Su Xi...?
Even if he only bought Wu Yaoyao a small bag, the woman would be extremely grateful and would do everything she could to please him at night, providing him with plenty of emotional support.
And Su Xi? He takes all his efforts for granted, and he's had enough of being treated coldly for spending money.
He likes Su Xi, but he doesn't necessarily need a marriage certificate. If she loses the protection of being the CEO's wife and learns about the hardships of life, what's wrong with him buying her a 2 billion yuan villa and supporting her then?
Perhaps they can also enjoy the same treatment as Wu Yaoyao.
Once he understood this, the man's expression turned cold.
"Su Xi, if you want your brother to have surgery, fine, but you'll have to go on a marital obligation trip."
Su Xi suddenly looked at Feng Jinchen. The man's eyes were icy and cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
If Wu Yaoyao had done him such a great favor, she might have brought her sisters to serve him as well. But here he had to watch Su Xi's face. This time, he would never compromise.
"Feng Jinchen, what exactly do you take me for?"
"When I like a woman, and I don't want to sleep with her, that's impotence."
“Su Xi, if you think this is more important than your brother’s life, then go ahead and give it a try.”
The man shook off the woman and left, his back view cold-blooded.
Su Xi stood there, her feelings indescribable. She felt that everything in her eyes was black and white, devoid of color.
The boy she once devoted herself to and loved passionately is no more; he has become a heartless man she hates but is powerless to change.
After a long while, Su Xi finally managed to dial a number with trembling hands. This was her last hope.
