Chapter 24 Tickling Palm
"Need not."
Seeing the resistance and a hint of panic in the woman's eyes, Feng Jinchen looked at her with suspicion. "What's wrong?"
If Su Xi cannot have children, then he can understand keeping the child in Wu Yaoyao's belly, and he will not feel guilty for owing her anything.
If he could have a child, he would get Su Xi pregnant as soon as possible, by any means necessary. Coaxing women is too much of a headache; only a child can truly hold a woman's heart.
He was eager to know the answer.
"It's nothing. Since you're in such a hurry, I'll go this weekend. I'll go by myself."
"No, I just didn't want you to go to a cold place like a hospital alone, I just..."
Receiving Su Xi's gaze, which seemed to see right through his disguise and even his soul, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
The meal ended unhappily. Feng Jinchen clumsily tidied up the kitchen and dining table, then looked at Su Xi with pitiful dog-like eyes, "Wife, can't I really stay?"
Su Xi didn't say anything, but just gave him a look, letting him understand on his own.
Feng Jinchen was deeply hurt, a wave of helplessness washing over him. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.
The man's eyes flashed as he looked down at his phone.
"Xixi, since that's the case, then you should rest well. I'll come to see you again." Feng Jinchen quickly put on the trench coat from the entrance, making a whooshing sound as it went.
"Xixi, tomorrow is your last day at the company. Let's have lunch together." Feng Jinchen hugged Su Xi before leaving.
This hug was so perfunctory that they couldn't even feel each other's body heat.
Su Xi forced herself not to think too much, gave a mocking laugh, and went back to get her beauty sleep.
The next day, when she arrived at the Feng family's office, Feng Jinchen still called her to his office and told her to rest well, but Su Xi refused.
Around noon, she received another call from the man. Feng Jinchen's apologetic voice came through, "Xixi, I'm sorry, I have to accompany a client at noon and can't have lunch with you. I'll definitely make it up to you another day."
Just after hanging up the phone, Chen Yan walked over mysteriously, "Su Xi, a new super popular and expensive internet-famous restaurant has opened near the company. Let's go try it together. Someone's treating."
Who is it?
Chen Yan grabbed Su Xi's arm and rushed outside, saying, "You'll see when we get there."
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Chen Yan looked around for a moment, then waved to a certain spot and pulled Su Xi over there.
Su Xi looked over and saw a clean-cut, handsome man stand up to greet her. The moment their eyes met, the man's gaze flickered, and his earlobes turned red.
Su Xi recognized the man as Gu Chong, a senior executive at the branch office.
Gu Chong pulled out a chair like a gentleman, and Chen Yan smiled and pressed her down into the chair, while she was still a little confused.
"Miss Su...it was a bit abrupt to invite you to dinner today, please don't mind."
The man, usually so decisive and efficient at work, was now stammering. Su Xi blinked, a sudden inspiration striking her.
Is this a blind date?
The company has a rule against dating within the same company, and she has already resigned.
Su Xi glared fiercely at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan felt a little guilty, but quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, he won't eat you up."
With that one sentence, Gu Chong's handsome face turned almost red to the roots of his neck. Receiving the prompt from Chen Yan, he quickly picked up the menu and handed it to her with both hands, "Miss Su, what would you like to eat?"
Su Xi bit her lip, wanting to explain that she was already married, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Wu Yaoyao walking in, intimately linked arm in arm with a man.
The man was none other than Feng Jinchen.
Wu Yaoyao had clearly dressed up carefully, and standing next to Feng Jinchen, they looked like a couple.
He stood up his wife to have dinner with his mistress. I've never seen such a despicable man.
Su Xi felt a wave of nausea and decisively looked away. She took the menu and chose a few dishes she liked.
While they were eating, a dark shadow loomed over them. Su Xi looked up and met Feng Jinchen's eyes, which were practically spitting fire.
Seeing the man beside him diligently peeling shrimp for Su Xi, his eyes filled with thoughts of her, Feng Jinchen's aura suddenly flared up, and the temperature dropped several degrees.
"Su Xi, who is he?"
Feng Jinchen's voice was cold and harsh, as if a storm was brewing.
Su Xi glanced at Wu Yaoyao behind the man, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and continued cutting her steak.
"President Feng, this is Gu Xuan. Su Xi has resigned, and we are just colleagues treating each other to a farewell dinner."
Gu Chong quickly stood up and spoke to Feng Jinchen with enthusiasm and respect, but subtly blocked the unfriendly gaze that Feng Jinchen was casting at Su Xi.
Chen Yan also stood up, looking at Feng Jinchen with an excited and shy expression, like a crazy fan meeting a saint.
Feng Jinchen then recognized that the two were indeed company employees, but he couldn't recall their names.
He and Su Xi were secretly married, and making a scene would have a bad impact. He gave a cold snort and turned to leave.
Wu Yaoyao hurriedly chased after him in her high heels, giving Su Xi a defiant glance before leaving.
In the afternoon, after all the work was handed over, Su Xi officially resigned.
"Chen Yan, please tell Mr. Gu that I'm married and that I'll invite him to dinner another day." After saying goodbye to her colleagues, Su Xi received a message from Feng Jinchen as soon as she got on the elevator.
"Come to the underground parking lot, I'll pick you up and take you to the old house."
Su Xi's numb heart still ached a little. He could flaunt his relationship with his mistress in public, but he kept it a secret, making every meeting seem like a clandestine rendezvous.
Once they reached the basement level, she opened the car door and got in. Feng Jinchen turned to look at her and said, "Xixi, you need to keep your distance from other men from now on. That Gu Chong is practically watching your clothes until they're worn out. What kind of scheme is he plotting? Can't you tell?"
Su Xi smiled enigmatically, and instead of answering, asked, "When did Wu Yaoyao become your client?"
“There’s a project she’s been in charge of, and she needs to follow up on it,” Feng Jinchen replied smoothly, clearly having already prepared his excuse.
Su Xi stared at him intently, a thousand words stuck in her throat, but in the end she only chuckled softly, "As long as you're happy."
Feng Jinchen's heart skipped a beat, as if something important had slipped away from him.
He turned around and looked at the woman in the rearview mirror. "Today is the old man's birthday banquet. Do you want me to take you to buy an evening dress?"
Su Xi was about to refuse, but remembering her brother's words that he wouldn't acknowledge her as his sister until he got 5 billion, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Old house.
Old Master Feng's birthday banquet invited almost all the figures in Los Angeles' high society. The older generation was in the main hall, while the younger generation was at the pool party.
Ye Qingqian was talking with Gong Shaofan and Xia Wanqing when she saw Su Xi. She exclaimed in surprise and flew over like a little bird, circling her once and clicking her tongue in delight.
"Xixi, this dress is one of a kind, I didn't expect you to buy it. It cost more than 2 million, Feng Jinchen is getting better and better at dealing with people."
This dress is very figure-demanding, but you look stunning in it. You're naturally beautiful, so enviable. It's a shame someone else is blind to its beauty; they'll regret it later.
Feng Jinchen, who was walking next, paused, and his polite smile almost crumbled.
Su Xi, in an expensive, form-fitting evening gown, attracted everyone's attention.
When no one was paying attention, Gong Shaofan secretly tickled Xia Wanqing's palm.
