Chapter 231 Afraid her husband will be eaten by someone?
Fu Beichen was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, which made his broad shoulders and long legs appear even more striking. He immediately attracted the attention of all the women in the room when he appeared.
Beside him was a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit, with a refined demeanor. Gu Xingnian recognized him as the calligrapher and painter from the banquet that day.
What's Fu Beichen doing here?
When did he become interested in such a boring banquet?
The man was tilting his head, listening to the calligrapher and painter beside him, his jawline taut, giving him a somewhat aloof air.
His gaze swept casually across the room before he strode towards her.
One step, two steps...
Getting closer and closer.
Gu Xingnian stopped breathing, feeling somewhat nervous.
However, the man walked past her without even glancing at her.
He didn't even spare her a glance.
Utterly indifferent.
The crisp, woody scent emanating from him brushed past her nose and quickly dissipated into the air.
It was as if they had never crossed paths at all.
Complete strangers.
Gu Xingnian was stunned for a moment. She wondered if she had seen wrong. Was that Fu Beichen who had just walked past?
After he walked over, Chen Sen muttered something under his breath beside him.
“Very good, Mr. Fu, you must keep it up.”
"It's about maintaining this distance; don't let your persona crumble."
Chen Sen glanced back discreetly, then immediately turned back.
"Miss Bai has been staring at your back. Don't turn around, whatever you do, don't turn around. If you turn around, you'll lose."
Soon, melodious music began, and the dance started.
A polite gentleman approached and extended his hand to Gu Xingnian. "Beautiful Miss Bai, may I have this dance?"
Madam Bai said softly, "Xixi, go play for a bit."
"Young Master Li just returned from Country S, he'll definitely have lots of interesting stories to tell you."
Madam Bai is a very insightful person.
How could she not have seen Fu Beichen, whose eyes were glued to her daughter?
On the dance floor, Young Master Li was indeed a very good dance partner.
He was knowledgeable and polite, talking about the customs and culture of S country, which occasionally made Gu Xingnian's lips curl into a smile.
At that moment, Fu Beichen's burning gaze was fixed intently on her.
Watching her dance with another man.
Watching her smile in front of another man.
His heart was about to explode.
Just then, Bai Luo walked over with a wine glass in hand, a sweet smile plastered on her face.
"Brother-in-law!"
Her shout was crisp and loud.
"Your sister must not have seen you, that's why she danced with someone else."
"How about you dance with me for a bit, and we can switch partners later?"
Fu Beichen's eyes were so cold they could shards of ice. He looked at Bai Luo and uttered only one word.
"roll."
Bai Luo's smile froze instantly, and she turned green with anger.
She stomped her foot and stormed off.
Chen Sen whispered from the side, "President Fu, please pretend you didn't see it, just pretend you didn't see it."
"No matter what your wife does, never get angry, and never embarrass her in public."
"You must stay calm. Men and women are jealous in the same way. You have to do something to stir up some waves in her heart."
Fu Beichen's jawline was taut. He paused for a moment, then gave a faint reply.
"knew."
Not long after, Bai Luo came over again, but this time she was wiser and didn't mention dancing again.
"Brother-in-law, shall we have a drink?"
"You're not familiar with the capital, so I'll take you to the most bustling 'Ci' Club later, so you can have some fun?"
This time, Fu Beichen didn't kick her out.
He raised his glass and clinked it against hers, then tilted his head back and drank it all.
One cup after another.
Soon, two more exquisitely made-up beauties surrounded him, like bees attracted to nectar, completely encircling Fu Beichen.
He was handsome, dazzling, and the richest man in the country, making him undoubtedly the target of all the socialites present.
Gu Xingnian watched him from afar, surrounded by admirers, and saw the smug look on his lips as he chatted and laughed. Her heart sank little by little.
She said to Young Master Li, "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, I'm not going to dance anymore."
She left the dance floor and returned to Mrs. Bai's side.
On the other side, more and more beautiful women were around Fu Beichen, and this man seemed to accept them all.
Oh.
This man is quite the ladies' man.
She sat there for a while, not even finishing half a glass of juice, when suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
Bai Luo was helping Fu Beichen walk upstairs to the lounge.
He was walking unsteadily, as if he had drunk too much.
Gu Xingnian's mind went blank for a moment. Before she could think any further, she stood up and followed.
She can't let anyone else touch him.
Absolutely not.
She quickly followed them up to the second floor and came to the corridor next to a room, where she heard a peculiar sound coming from under the door.
The woman's ambiguous breathing and somewhat seductive shouts suggested a fierce battle.
"Mmm... Ah..."
Gu Xingnian's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She leaned against the cold wall, her stomach churning, feeling nauseous.
Her eyes were frighteningly red.
Suddenly, a large, hot hand reached out from behind her and pulled her into a firm embrace.
A familiar scent enveloped her.
It's Fu Beichen.
His deep voice fell on her ear, with a mischievous glint in it, "Sad?"
"Afraid your husband will be eaten by someone else?"
Gu Xingnian froze, then pushed him away forcefully, "Who's worried about you!"
Fu Beichen didn't let go; instead, he gripped her even tighter, pulled her along, opened the door to another room next door, and dragged her inside.
The door slammed shut with a bang.
The room was dark; the lights were off.
Gu Xingnian's voice trembled, "Fu Beichen, why haven't you gone back to Haicheng yet? You said you wouldn't bother me."
Fu Beichen's gentle voice fell on her ear, and his warm breath sprayed on her skin.
"I'm not bothering you."
"You followed me here on your own, didn't you?"
Gu Xingnian lightly slapped him in anger, "Let go of me! I didn't come here to see you!"
Fu Beichen's warm breath tickled her neck, making her flinch.
"But you're not good."
“You danced with another man, I have to punish you.”
"Niannian..." His hoarse voice carried a hint of barely suppressed desire.
"Fu Beichen, let me go!"
"It's too late."
Gu Xingnian fell silent, only the relentless advance and retreat in the darkness remained...
After an unknown amount of time, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Gu Xingnian was so frightened that her body stiffened, and she dared not move or even breathe.
"Don't be afraid, baby." Fu Beichen held her tightly, and the two of them listened attentively to the discussions outside.
"Have you heard? President Fu and Miss Bai are inside!"
"They drank a lot of alcohol just now, they probably got drunk and acted recklessly..."
"My God, isn't that Richest Man Fu Miss Bai's husband? This... this two women serving one husband, how is this possible!"
Immediately following was Madam Bai's authoritative and angry voice.
"Shut up, all of you!"
"Until the truth is revealed, let's see who dares to smear the son-in-law of the Bai family!"
Son-in-law! He likes that title.
"Open the door for me!"
The moment the door was opened, the scene before them shocked everyone.
Bai Luo was found tightly tied to a chair with rope, one of her own pink socks stuffed in her mouth, struggling desperately and making "uh, ugh" noises. The sound was truly embarrassing.
There was no sign of Fu Shoufu in the room.
Madam Bai trembled with rage and roared, "Disgraceful thing! Guards, take her back! She's not allowed to leave the house for a month!"
Two bodyguards immediately came in and dragged Bai Luo, who was still struggling, away without any expression.
That's right, this "catching adulterers" drama, along with the guests watching the spectacle downstairs, was all arranged in advance by Bai Luo.
She wanted to force the issue and cling to her brother-in-law, the richest man in the country, but she never expected to end up like this.
Your rank is too low!
Madam Bai suddenly cried out, "Where is our Xixi? Where did Xixi go? Someone, go find her quickly!"
Chen Sen's voice rang out at the right moment, "Mrs. Bai, don't worry, I just saw Miss Bai making a phone call in the garden."
Upon hearing this, Madam Bai quickly lifted her skirt and went downstairs to look for the person.
Just as everyone was in a panic, Gu Xingnian walked over from the direction of the garden.
"Mom," she called softly.
Madam Bai immediately rushed over and hugged her, checking her over from head to toe, "Are you alright? Were you frightened?"
Gu Xingnian shook her head.
Her lipstick had long since been eaten clean, and the red marks on her neck were completely covered by the high collar of her coat.
Mrs. Bai breathed a sigh of relief and put her arm around the man as they got into the car.
In the shadows of the second floor, Fu Beichen stood by the window, watching the headlights of the cars disappearing below, a satisfied smile on his face.
Chen Sen walked to his side.
Fu Beichen reached out and patted his chest, his tone full of approval.
"Well done."
"After the New Year, come and take up a position at the Fu family."
Chen Sen's eyes lit up. "Okay, thank you, President Fu."
From that moment on, the era of Lynch's exclusive favor officially came to an end.
......
Before they knew it, it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Since their chance encounter that day, Fu Beichen had disappeared for three whole days.
He really didn't bother her. Gu Xingnian thought that he might have gone back to Haicheng.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Fu Beichen was trapped in Master Zhuang's courtyard, learning to paint fish with utmost seriousness, stroke by stroke.
Cultivating one's character and temperament requires calligraphy and painting.
Gu Xingnian compared her waist to her own and felt that she had indulged too much during the New Year and had gained weight.
Her belly has also grown quite a bit.
She was thinking that it was time to go back to Haicheng.
But Bai Yu hasn't returned yet.
This guy, do you remember you have a younger sister?
The answer is, I can't remember at all.
At this moment, Bai Yu was holding a storybook, his voice low and gentle, uttering each word carefully.
"The little rabbit said the moon is sweet..."
That's right, he was giving his children prenatal education.
Sheng Weiwei's belly was already alarmingly large. She was nestled in the soft sofa, having just finished listening to a tire teach music, and now it was time for story time.
She was so soothed by that gentle voice that her eyelids began to droop.
She fell asleep shortly afterward.
"Ding-dong—"
The doorbell rang sharply and loudly, waking Sheng Weiwei up instantly.
Bai Yu put down his book, got up to open the door, assuming it was a delivery person bringing groceries.
The door opened.
Standing outside the door was an angry face.
It's Sheng's father.
Seeing her father's face, which was so dark it looked like it could drip water, Sheng Weiwei was startled and tried to stand up, clutching her waist.
Sheng's father pointed at her quickly, but his tone was very tense.
"Sit there and don't move!"
After yelling at his daughter, he suddenly turned his head, his gaze piercing Bai Yu like a knife.
"Tell me, when did it start?"
Bai Yu looked completely bewildered. "Start what?"
Mr. Sheng was furious; his finger almost poked Bai Yu's nose.
"You kidnapped my daughter! No wonder you've been away from home all the time, you've been running off to your place!"
"What do you want? Huh? Taking advantage of being in a good position?"
Bai Yu was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands and shook his head frantically.
"Uncle, you've misunderstood. I don't have that ability; I can't scoop up the moon."
Upon hearing this, Sheng's father became even angrier.
He gave a cold laugh.
"Ha, it's best if you know your place!"
"You? You're not even a pig, yet you dare to try and steal my cabbage?"
"Get back to the capital right now!"
Sheng's father's voice rose another eight octaves.
"Bring Niannian back to me! Niannian says she wants to eat her mother's cooking!"
Bai Yu's handsome face fell, while Sheng Weiwei quietly covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling as she struggled to suppress her laughter.
But on his trip back, he couldn't bring Niannian back; she had been taken away...
