Chapter 70 Stealing in the Dark
Ye Qingqian was speaking excitedly when the half-closed door was pushed open, revealing Feng Jinchen's face as black as if he had just crawled out of ink.
"Miss Ye, isn't it really unkind to talk behind someone's back?"
Ye Qingqian blinked in confusion, "Did I insult someone? When did this happen?"
Feng Jinchen was taken aback at first, then realized that the other party did not treat him like a human being. His eyes suddenly turned extremely cold, and the veins on his fists bulged.
"Jinchen, help me take these things downstairs." Su Xi pointed to a basket of clothes neatly arranged on the sofa.
“…Okay.” The man’s eyes softened as he looked at Su Xi.
After putting his things in the car, he made a phone call and said, "Make an appointment for my work these next few days and schedule a time for my medical check-up."
Anyone who dares to mock him for being unable to have children will have his medical examination report smashed across Ye Qingqian's face.
Back at the villa, Feng Jinchen took a shower and came out to find Su Xi lying on the wedding bed, not waiting for his affection.
The door to the side bedroom was tightly closed. He pushed it, but couldn't open it.
The woman had clearly moved back, but she had no intention of sharing a bed with him, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
Forget it, let's take it slow.
For several days in a row, Su Xi occasionally encountered Feng Jue, but the man was always cold and indifferent, never speaking to her again. He treated her as if she didn't know him, not even as a stranger, as if she were a poisonous snake.
Su Xi suppressed the inexplicable bitterness in her heart and pretended to be indifferent.
On the way back to the villa, Feng Jinchen's phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was Wu Yaoyao, the man's face darkened. He glanced guiltily at Su Xi before answering the call.
A woman's gentle, caring voice came through the phone, "Mr. Feng, the baby seems to have kicked me. Is he feeling unwell? Could you take me to get him checked out?"
"Idiot, you think I can kick you in less than two months? Are you pregnant with something deformed? If you have something to say, go find the housekeeper. If you bother me again, you won't be able to have the baby. Get out."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Jinchen saw in the rearview mirror that the woman's face was expressionless. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a wave of sadness welled up in his heart.
Even though Su Xi was right beside him, he felt like the distance between them was growing.
Is Su Xi...? Before Feng Jinchen could think further, the old man called. The man put it on speakerphone.
The old man's voice was strong and commanding, "Jinchen, Su Xi can't have children, and she lets that bastard's mistress ride roughshod over her. She's not worthy of being the mistress of the Feng family."
Moreover, her family's business became even more dire after Su Zi'an took over, and it couldn't offer you any help at all. Why keep such a woman around if you're not going to divorce her?
I finally managed to introduce you to Bai Luwei, the only daughter of the Bai family. You're going on a blind date at Twilight Studio tonight at 8 PM. I'm warning you, don't be late, and make a good impression.
"Grandpa, this might not be a good idea..."
“Listen to me, Grandpa isn’t heartless. Look at her father, he died young, and her brother has an incurable disease. I don’t think she’ll live a long life either. It’s a good thing she can’t have children, otherwise, if she had a great-grandchild, she might also be plagued by illness.”
The Feng family had already been more than kind to her by not breaking off the engagement back then; now it's her own fault for being useless, failing to seize the opportunity given to her.
In short, I've already spoken to the Bai family. If you don't go, the Bai family and the Feng family will definitely be at odds. You'd better think about what to do."
Feng Jinchen tried to say something, but all he got in response was a beeping sound.
The man pulled over and scratched his head in frustration. "Wife, I really don't know anything about Miss White or Miss Black. The old man is just making things up."
Su Xi lowered her eyes. The old man's words about a short life and a terminal illness were like tearing her heart open and rubbing salt into it.
"I'm fine. Just drop me off at the villa and go. Consider it a way to cheer up the old man..."
She was only halfway through her sentence when the man grabbed her chin.
A fire blazed in the man's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, each word distinct and forceful, "Su Xi! What do you mean by this? I'm your man, and you're letting him go on blind dates with other women? What are you thinking?"
Su Xi remained calm. "It wasn't me who asked you to go; it was Grandpa who asked you to go. If you can disobey your grandfather, then disregard what I said."
The man's expression cracked for a moment, but his eyes remained icy. "You deliberately pushed me to another woman, and you won't admit it?"
If it were the old Su Xi, she would definitely have gone to great lengths to beg the old lady.
Even knowing that things cannot be changed, she would still feel heartbroken and prepare clothes for their date while shedding tears.
And now, does Su Xi... does she really not love him anymore? He simply couldn't bear to think about it.
He must have spoiled her too much, that's why she didn't cherish him.
"Get out of the car! This is such an important date, I need to prepare carefully. Go back by yourself."
He thought the woman would back down, but the moment he finished speaking, she opened the car door and got out.
Feng Jinchen slammed his hand on the steering wheel and floored the accelerator, the engine roaring to life.
As dusk fell, the man sat down and said in a deep voice, "Miss Bai, you know I'm married, so why did you agree to come on this blind date?"
If the Bai family hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation by the old man.
Unwittingly questioned, Bai Luwei looked up from the documents in her hand, her pretty face full of mockery.
The moment Feng Jinchen saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes flickered slightly, and his icy, indifferent aura unconsciously subsided.
The woman sneered repeatedly, "A divorced man? You don't think I was eager to come, do you? I don't know what agreement the two families' fathers reached that made me come. I'm just here on official business. You don't really believe me, do you?"
Feng Jinchen was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh. There were too many women eager to pursue him, but Bai Luwei had unexpectedly caught his attention.
The man's expression softened completely, and he deliberately lowered his tone, handing over the menu in a gentlemanly manner. "In that case, we can cooperate and deal with the arrangements made by our elders at home. Miss Bai, I apologize for being abrupt earlier. Please order first."
The woman's complexion improved, and she took the menu with her slender, fair fingers.
...
On Saturday, Feng's held a grand company anniversary celebration, inviting all employees and some business partners to attend.
Bai Luwei, dressed in a black swan velvet fitted gown, was seen with Feng Jinchen.
Ye Qingqian narrowed her eyes, "Who is the woman next to that scumbag? She doesn't look like a secretary."
Su Xi spoke casually, as if it were none of her business, "Feng Jinchen's blind date."
"What did you say?" Ye Qingqian was so shocked that she almost stumbled and fell off the high chair.
"Stay calm, it's just to fool both sets of parents."
You actually believe that?
"Why don't you believe me? As long as I'm not divorced, any woman will be caught in the act, unable to see the light of day. Wouldn't that just add another charge against him?"
Ye Qingqian said no more. She had brought Xiaobai with her today, and Su Xi held and played with it, her star-like eyes quickly filling with smiles, attracting the attention of many male guests.
Behind the carved stone pillar, the happier Su Xi laughed, the deeper the gloom in Lai Mengqi's eyes grew.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Sister Xia, it's that woman. She got President Feng to come to her rescue on her very first day at the company. She's just a mistress, what's she so smug about?"
Xia Wanqing's eyes flickered; it seemed Meng Qi still didn't know Su Xi was the president's wife. She naturally didn't bother to explain.
Xia Wanqing almost bit her lower lip as her gaze fell on Ye Qingqian.
That day, her affair with Shao Fan was publicly broadcast on the big screen by this woman, causing her to lose face completely. She was constantly thinking about getting revenge.
