Chapter 403 Sitting in Feng Jue's Arms
Ten minutes later, watching the pregnant woman cook for the big boss, Liu Cheng felt completely bewildered and it all seemed unreal.
If he were Feng Jue, he would be overjoyed to see Su Xi, a woman, take the initiative to yield and cook for him personally.
But the big boss is no ordinary person. His thought process cannot be deduced using common sense.
Therefore, he neither knew nor particularly wanted to know what kind of storm would rage between the two kings when they met.
After all, he is currently in an indefinite investment period. No matter how wise or correct his decisions are, all he gets in return is being abused. He himself is not sure when the return will come.
He never considered giving up. He wasn't entirely sure why.
Liu Cheng instructed a female secretary to secretly look after Su Xi, then dragged his heavy steps and left dejectedly.
Two hours later, the conference room door finally opened.
The shareholders and senior executives were clearly thoroughly reprimanded, and they all looked dejected, like scattered zombies.
Liu Cheng went against the flow of zombies and saw his boss's face as dark as water, as if a demon lord had descended and an evil cultivator had possessed him. Alarm bells immediately rang in Liu Cheng's heart.
Throughout the journey, he kept his head down, his eyes darting around, unsure how to bring up Su Xi to the big boss.
Although he firmly believed that letting Su Xi in was the right thing to do, his life was also at stake. One wrong move and he could face another beating.
Most of the day had passed, and Liu Cheng still hadn't found a suitable opportunity to speak.
Every time I mentally prepare myself to speak, the moment I look up and see the big boss's face, as black as ink, all the words I was about to say get stuck in my throat and I swallow them back down.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Instead of saying "Please come in," Liu Cheng, being cautious, walked straight over and opened the door to the president's office.
The moment Liu Cheng saw what was happening outside, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Su Xi had already prepared a variety of appetizing and easily digestible dishes, and was carrying a tray in her hand, about to enter the room.
This set off alarm bells in Liu Cheng's mind.
President Feng is usually unfazed by anything else, but he has a temper that explodes at the slightest provocation when it comes to Su Xi. If he just barges in like that, how can things possibly turn out well?
Furthermore, when Liu Cheng's gaze fell upon a bright red rose exquisitely arranged in the upper left corner of the tray, he felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and almost jumped up on the spot.
He pulled Su Xi to the corner and lowered his voice, "Miss Su, it's one thing for you to suddenly bring food, but why did you also put a rose on the table?"
Do you know that President Feng hates nothing more than other women looking at him with lustful eyes or doing anything that might make him jealous? If you send him a rose like that, won't the whole company just explode?
The moment you send her in, from the shareholders and executives down to the cleaning staff and security guards, there won't be another woman in the entire company. Not even a female mosquito will show its face. The company will be in turmoil.
Su Xi's composure made Liu Cheng seem overly excited and talkative.
Liu Cheng awkwardly shut his mouth.
Su Xi insisted, "Don't worry, absolutely not. If you're scared, I'll personally take you in."
Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll do it. I'll sound him out again, and if he's willing to see you, I'll let you know."
After all, he's tough and resilient.
Soon, Liu Cheng entered the president's office carrying a tray, his heart filled with trepidation.
Sure enough, when Feng Jue saw Liu Cheng bring food and forcibly feed him without permission, the entire office was instantly filled with a dark cloud, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on him.
Then, upon seeing that fiery red rose, the entire room erupted in a thunderous roar, as if struck by lightning.
Liu Cheng paused, hesitating whether to turn and run right then and there.
Just then, the delicate fragrance of roses wafted over and entered Feng Jue's nostrils.
The cold, ruthless expression on the man's face cracked slightly, and then all his negative emotions visibly vanished.
He once said that he liked Su Xi's pleasant body scent.
The fragrance of this rose comes not only from the calming and soothing scent of the rose itself, but also from Su Xi's own scent.
Su Xi once jokingly said that since he liked her scent, she would make a perfume for him.
I didn't expect her to take it to heart and actually do it.
Looking at the food on the tray, it was indeed undoubtedly Su Xi's doing.
So, this meal, this plating, this bouquet of roses, were all made by Su Xi herself?
She could have chosen chrysanthemums, mimosa, or gardenias, but she chose roses instead, showing her passion and initiative.
Feng Jue's gaze softened involuntarily.
The next second, seeing Liu Cheng turn to run away, he coughed, put his fist to his lips, and said expressionlessly,
"You can leave, but leave your things behind."
The moment he heard the big boss speak, Liu Cheng instinctively quickened his pace, but he had barely taken half a step when he heard what Feng Jue had said. His steps came to an abrupt halt, and he froze on the spot.
After a brief pause, Liu Cheng quickly turned around, picked up the tray, and swiftly placed it steadily on the desk in front of Feng Jue.
Just as he turned to leave, Feng Jue spoke again, "Let her in."
Liu Cheng paused, genuinely surprised that things had progressed so smoothly, so smoothly that he suspected there might be some secret code on the plate that only the two of them could understand.
Well, he thought that rose was the most suspicious.
Sure enough, other people's dating strategies are completely beyond her reach as a single woman who has been single for over 20 years; she can't learn them at all.
Liu Cheng left heartbroken. He then shared the good news with Su Xi.
He was certainly happy for Su Xi. But Su Xi's calm, even indifferent expression made him look like a silly, grinning husky.
"Assistant Liu, you've worked hard." Su Xi smiled, but the moment she turned to leave, her expression turned completely cold.
She had guessed Feng Jue's wicked intentions correctly.
He wants to toy with her, but he doesn't want her to know he's toying with her. If she finds out, he'll break down and even target her and everyone around her without any limits or compassion.
As expected of Master Feng, even his unusual hobbies are done with a high level of sophistication.
So she cooperated by getting close to him through a romantic relationship, letting him play with her, and pretending she was unaware of it.
Only in this way can she obtain the benefits she wants from him; otherwise, she will only be the one who gets hurt and abused.
Shen Congxuan serves as a cautionary tale.
Su Xi calmly knocked on the door and went in, walking straight to her desk.
Feng Jue was leisurely and elegantly savoring the food she had prepared.
He only glanced up when he saw her coming, then continued eating with his head down.
The man's eyes were like a still, deep well, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
Su Xi's fingers unconsciously clenched at her side. She thought she had it all figured out, but now she was a little unsure.
She stood quietly to the side, waiting for the man to finish eating.
The man ate slowly and methodically, but quickly. He finished eating before Su Xi had to wait long, and seemed to have a very good appetite.
After rinsing his mouth and wiping his lips, Feng Jue raised his eyes.
The moment Su Xi looked over, she was met with the man's deep, obsidian-black eyes.
The man's voice was clear and pleasant, "Well done."
Su Xi was taken aback. The sentence had a double meaning. It could mean her cooking was good, or it could mean her overall planning was good.
Su Xi wasn't sure which one it was.
The man added, "The food suits my taste perfectly."
Upon hearing these words, Su Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense back relaxed, and her clenched fingers quietly loosened.
But in the instant she relaxed completely, her hand was suddenly grasped by the man's warm, hot palm.
Before she could react, the man gently pulled her, and after a dizzying spin,
She was already sitting in the man's lap.
The first thing that wafted into my nose was the pleasant, crisp scent of the pool water emanating from the man, followed by his incredibly handsome, flawless face coming into view.
The two were so close they could almost hear each other breathing.
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, which was out of control.
The moment Su Xi saw Feng Jue reach out, she instinctively crossed her arms to protect her chest.
As a result, he watched helplessly as the man's long, slender, bamboo-like hand reached out to the table and picked up the rose.
What a beautiful and touching scene of a young man picking flowers.
Su Xi was initially embarrassed by her misunderstanding of Feng Jue, and awkwardly loosened her crossed hands. Then, seeing the man holding a flower, her large eyes were filled with great confusion.
The next second, Feng Jue answered her questions with his actions.
She watched helplessly as the man placed the rose in the top of her hair.
The delicate and elegant fragrance of roses also filled the air.
The man adorned his hair with flowers, and his slender fingertips traced down Su Xi's hair, then down her cheek to her chin.
The moment her chin was gently pinched and lifted, Su Xi obediently closed her eyes.
The fingers hidden behind her back were bruised and purple from pinching.
Afterwards, Su Xi saw that Feng Jue was in a good mood and his eyes were bright, which immediately brought her thoughts back to their sweet and loving time together.
Although that moment was very brief, every frame is deeply imprinted in my mind.
Feng Jue's expression now is exactly the same as it was back then.
She succeeded.
Therefore, seeing that the time was ripe, Su Xi immediately considered her words and wanted to bring up her purpose.
After all, Feng Jue's heart is the most unpredictable, otherwise their blissful period wouldn't have been so short-lived.
Finally, seeing the man's lips curve into a slight smile, Su Xi spoke.
"Feng Jue, Ye Qingqian misunderstood us, that's why she said those irrelevant things. She's always been that kind of carefree person, don't take it to heart, don't argue with her, don't stoop to the level of the Ye family, okay?"
“Okay.” The man agreed without hesitation, but before he could say anything, Su Xi spoke up again, “Swear it.”
Feng Jue was taken aback, but without thinking much of it, he said indulgently, "I swear, no matter what happens in the future, I will not target Ye Qingqian or the Ye family."
After secretly recording those words on her phone, Su Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Jue was about to explain that he had no intention of targeting the Ye family or Ye Qingqian when he caught a glimpse of Su Xi quietly pressing a button on her phone.
It appears to be a record button.
His gaze suddenly darkened.
The hand that was holding the woman's slender waist grew increasingly stiff.
Noticing that Feng Jue's expression seemed to have turned slightly colder, Su Xi didn't care.
When two people are deeply in love, it's a world that belongs only to them, and it's taboo to talk about other people. It's normal for Feng Jue's expression to change.
Moreover, she wouldn't care even if Feng Jue completely changed his attitude, since she had the recording in hand.
The most important thing for a businessman is integrity. If Feng Jue wants to go back on his word, the release of the recording would be a huge blow to Tian Jue's reputation.
Feng Jue is a shrewd businessman and would never do something so foolish.
Of course, there was another reason for her certainty—Feng Jue and Ye Qingqian's past grievances were ultimately just a small matter, and Feng Jue would not risk breaking his promise and going back on his word.
Conversely, if there were truly irreconcilable feuds, let alone a recording, even if it meant making enemies of the entire world, nothing could stop Feng Jue from retaliating.
As Su Xi was lost in thought, the man gently lifted her off his lap and helped her sit on a grand chair beside him.
"By the way, let me see your phone." The man's tone was as gentle as ever.
Without thinking much, Su Xi handed over her phone.
The man's long, slender fingers traced a few lines, then he tapped it once, and suddenly Feng Jue's recording started playing.
"I swear, no matter what happens in the future, I, Feng Jue, will never target the Ye family or Ye Qingqian."
The moment the recording played, Su Xi's expression changed drastically, and she instinctively lunged forward to snatch the phone.
If Feng Jue deletes this recording, then all her acting today will have been for nothing, and she'll have gained all the benefits for nothing.
Su Xi was extremely flustered. Snatching something from Feng Jue's hands was like taking food from a tiger's mouth. She had been so careless.
However, things went much more smoothly than she had imagined, and she snatched the phone back in one go.
To be precise, Feng Jue didn't try to take it from her at all; he simply opened his palm and let her take it.
With her phone in hand and the recording still playing, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. But when she looked up and met the man's half-smiling eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
She was exposed.
But so what? She has already achieved her goal.
Thinking that she might need the seal again later, Su Xi didn't want to use it and then throw it away, turning her back on it. So she said tactfully...
"If Mr. Feng likes my cooking, I can come and cook anytime."
"We'll see," Feng Jue smiled, his attitude relatively friendly. "It's getting late, you can go back now."
"good."
Su Xi got up to leave, and just as her hand grasped the doorknob, Feng Jue spoke again.
"Oh, right."
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't... she couldn't possibly stay and spend the night with him back at the villa, could she?
She can play the role of a lover well with Feng Jue, but only on a television drama level.
Going home to spend the night is a matter of principle; Feng Jue wouldn't be so shameless, would he?
She pricked up her ears, and the man's voice from behind reached her, word by word.
"There's something I need to tell you. You're right, it's true that I, Feng, have a special fetish, and it's true that this fetish isn't just directed at you. However, I'm already tired of you."
Su Xi's face suddenly stiffened.
She understood that Feng Jue was warning her not to repeat the same tactics of throwing herself at him as he had tonight; it wouldn't work anymore.
Because he's already tired of her.
She's already started looking for a new love.
Su Xi's hands, gripping the doorknob, turned white as she managed to squeeze out a few words, "Okay, I understand."
"Hmm." The man only gave a perfunctory word, his distance reaching its extreme, clearly telling her that what had just happened was nothing more than a transaction.
"Don't worry, Mr. Feng. Without your permission, I will never appear in front of you again." After saying this, Su Xi opened the door and fled.
No one came after them.
Su Xi was filled with mixed feelings, and her steps began to falter.
On the other side, the Feng family's old house.
The housekeeper walked in with a paternity test report. "Madam, the paternity test results for Feng Jinchen and Feng Hanhai are in."
