Chapter 31 Catching Adulterers
After a moment of weightlessness, as if floating on clouds, Su Xi was gently placed on the bed, and Feng Jinchen lay down as well, gently embracing her.
"Honey, I've booked a restaurant for tonight. I'll take you out for dinner."
"I don't want to go."
"Why?"
"I don't want to be stood up. What if Wu Yaoyao has some other clients she needs to work with..."
Before she could finish speaking, the man's warm, dry hand covered her lips. "Such a nice atmosphere, let's not talk about those irrelevant people, okay?"
Su Xi stopped talking, and after a while, she heard the man's even breathing.
Su Xi closed her eyes only after seeing that Feng Jinchen had fallen asleep.
After her afternoon nap, Feng Jinchen escorted Su Xi to the company building and watched her go upstairs before leaving.
At the escalator, Wu Qingluan looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the luxurious cars in the distance and the aloof and elegant man next to them, her nose crooked with jealousy.
Seeing Wu Qingluan's ashen face, as if her man had been stolen, Ji Feifei followed her gaze and her pupils contracted slightly.
Although she only saw the man's profile as he got into the car and drove away smoothly, his profile was noble and elegant, as if he were a distant cloud. He was the kind of high-quality man she could only dream of.
"Sister Wu, is he your boyfriend?"
Seeing Ji Feifei's face full of envy, jealousy, admiration, and sincerity as she looked at her with burning eyes, Wu Qingluan nodded ambiguously, as if possessed.
Ji Feifei excitedly let out a groundhog scream.
Seeing Su Xi approach, Wu Qingluan crossed her arms and looked at her with her chin down. "Su Xi, you don't even forget to flirt with men during your lunch break. You really are a master of time management."
Ji Feifei suddenly realized something, and, arm in arm with Wu Qingluan, glared angrily at Su Xi, "Su Xi, that domineering man in the luxury car is Sister Wu's boyfriend. He's not someone you can even dream of. Stay away from him in the future."
Nonsense! They're talking nonsense! Su Xi ignored them and walked past them.

Wu Yaoyao was getting a spa treatment when an unknown number called.
When she heard He Ze's voice after the call connected, her expression instantly fell. "Didn't you tell me not to contact me?"
An exasperated voice came from the other end, "Wu Yaoyao, didn't you say you couldn't find anything on me? Now I've lost my job. Not only me, but my whole family has been fired. And Feng Jinchen's assistant even threatened to break my arm if I show up in Luocheng again. I can't see you, so I have to call you."
"How could this happen?" Wu Yaoyao's voice was filled with worry, but her face showed great joy. He Ze was a ticking time bomb; if Feng Jinchen discovered their relationship, she would be finished. It was better that he had been sent far away now.
Moreover, there was a knife that was more suitable for her than He Ze's, and it would never betray her.
"He Ze, don't panic. Find a place to hide first. Things will be fine once the storm passes."
"Anything else?"
"Anything else?" Wu Yaoyao's eyes darted around. This man wouldn't still want her, would he? Would he dare come to Luocheng?
"Wu Yaoyao, my whole family is starving because of you, and you think you can just brush me off with a few words? Do you think I'm an idiot? Give me 5 million, or you can expect to be kicked to the curb by Feng Jinchen."
“…He Ze!” Wu Yaoyao was so angry that her vision blurred. Her grip on her phone tightened, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, “Although I have money, it’s all in real estate. I only have 1 million on hand. The rest will be yours once I become Mrs. Feng. Otherwise, let’s fight to the death.”
"Okay, feel free to contact me anytime if there's anything I need. I'll be waiting for the day you become Mrs. Feng."
After hanging up the phone, a murderous glint flashed in Wu Yaoyao's eyes. Once she became the young mistress of the Feng family, with power and influence, plenty of people would be vying to silence He Ze for her.
"President Feng, He Ze has already been dealt with. As for whether it was Wu Yaoyao who instigated it, there is no conclusive evidence yet."
"I understand, you can go now." Feng Jinchen didn't take it to heart. As for Wu Yaoyao, he only wanted to keep the child and remove the mother; she was a substitute during his cold war with Su Xi, so naturally he wouldn't touch her now.
Stepping out of the office, Wang Dong let out a sigh of relief. Last time, Wu Yaoyao was forced to have an abortion by seven or eight bodyguards, yet she managed to escape. The man who saved her is still unidentified; all that's certain is that it wasn't He Ze.
The bodyguard captain dared to tell him about this man, but he dared not tell Feng Jinchen. He had been secretly investigating, but to no avail.
He always felt that this person was a huge ticking time bomb. He had to lock onto him as soon as possible.
After getting off work, Su Xi took a taxi directly to the hospital. After the bandages were changed, the file folder in her hand fell to the ground the moment she pressed the elevator button.
Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, an excessively beautiful large hand picked it up for her first.
Looking up, Su Xi saw Feng Jue and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Uncle."
Feng Jue's gaze lingered on the woman's face for a moment, then he looked at her hands. "What happened to your hands?"
"It got caught in the bag by accident, but it's fine now." Su Xi said, reaching out her hand, but the man didn't hand her the file bag.
"Let me hold it for you. The elevator's here." Feng Jue only went in after seeing Su Xi go in.
There were only the two of them in the elevator.
Su Xi could even clearly smell the strong sandalwood scent emanating from him, and felt uneasy all over. She unconsciously held her breath, her eyes fixed on the file bag, slightly lost in thought.
The elevator doors opened, and Su Xi stepped out first, only to find that it had started raining outside.
"Your hands shouldn't get wet in the rain. I'll go get the car." Feng Jue's voice was gentle yet cold, leaving no room for argument.
Watching the man stride away... Su Xi frowned, looking at the file folder in her hand. Why hadn't he given her the file yet? Could it be that he was afraid she would run away?
Soon, the Phantom stopped at the entrance of the hall. Feng Jue got out of the car and opened the door. Su Xi looked at Feng Jue with slight suspicion, feeling that he seemed a little different today.
"Go now!"
When the man saw Su Xi hesitating, he looked at her as if she were a human trafficker. His handsome features instantly fell, and his tone was no longer as friendly and warm as before.
"Mmm," it tasted familiar. Su Xi got into the car with peace of mind.
Wu Yaoyao saw this scene as she came out of the hospital. She quickly took out her phone and took a picture. Her hand holding the phone was trembling with excitement.
She certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to send the photos to Feng Jinchen herself; the photos eventually ended up in Feng Jinchen's hands.
The moment the car saw the photo, it screeched to a halt and swerved in an S-shape on the main road.
Feng Jinchen couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart; he only felt as if his heart was riddled with holes.
His gaze quickly shifted from unfocused to fierce.
He had originally driven to pick up Su Xi for dinner, but immediately turned around and headed to the hospital. He soon spotted the Phantom, crossed the double yellow lines, and made a U-turn to give chase.
I thought the two of them would go to a hotel, but they ended up going to Hongchen Ouyuan instead.
Feng Jinchen found a secluded spot to park his car and turned off the lights.
Staring ahead with eyes wide open in fury,
The phone in my hand shattered from being gripped so tightly.
