Chapter 329 When the enemy doesn't move, we move.
That handsome face, that icy face... it's him.
"ah!"
She covered her eyes with her hands, her face instantly losing all color, then burning red in the next second, the heat rising straight to her ears.
Only when they were close enough did he see the girl's face clearly; it was the young girl who delivered takeout that night.
She has a delicate face, not the stunning beauty of Niannian, but she is pure and pretty, and it is no exaggeration to call her a girl from a modest family.
Sheng Tingxiao released her, casually put on the bathrobe by the bed, tying it with a neat and casual motion.
The air around him was frighteningly low, and he coldly uttered two words.
"Get out."
Lin Xiaoli was terrified. She ran downstairs in one breath, even rushing out of the Sheng family's front door, without daring to look back once.
This is absolutely the ultimate social death scene.
That's so embarrassing.
Twenty minutes later, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG drove out of the garage.
The car window rolled down, and Sheng Weiwei, dressed in a smart blue business suit, waved to her.
Lin Xiaoli quickly opened the car door and got in.
"Why is your face so red? It's like a monkey's bottom. Do you have a fever?" Sheng Weiwei reached out and touched her forehead with her cool fingertips.
Lin Xiaoli shrank back as if she had been electrocuted and quickly shook her head.
"No, no, it's just a bit hot coming here."
She fastened her seatbelt, her eyes darting around, and asked cautiously.
"Sister Weiwei, besides Chairman Sheng, do you have any other siblings in your family?"
Sheng Weiwei smiled, a slight curve to her lips.
"What? Are you interested in my family's household registration book?"
"My brother is single, a real catch. Shall I introduce you to him?"
Lin Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat, her face filled with astonishment, "Young Master Sheng?"
Wasn't it rumored that the eldest son of the Sheng family had already disappeared and died?
"Hmm." Sheng Weiwei started the car. "He'll be going back to the company to take over as president in a while, and he's hiring an assistant. How about I transfer you there so you can get familiar with things first?"
"Don't!"
Lin Xiaoli almost jumped up from her seat, waving her hands wildly.
"I'll only follow you, no one else. I'm yours in life and in death, I'll be your ghost, I'll be your leg accessory, I'll never go anywhere!"
She was practically swearing an oath to the heavens.
Sheng Weiwei was amused by her exaggerated reaction.
"Don't worry, he's a very nice person."
She changed the subject abruptly, giving Lin Xiaoli a mischievous once-over.
"However, you might need to eat more; he likes plump women."
"Cough cough!"
Lin Xiaoli choked on her own saliva with a tremendous force.
"Sister Weiwei, if you say that again, I'm going to jump out of the car!"
Sheng Weiwei finally stopped teasing her, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
...
Fu Group, top floor, president's office.
Fu Beichen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his aura was frighteningly low, and his handsome face was shrouded in gloom.
Last night, Gu Xingnian actually rejected him?
She said she was tired.
He wouldn't let it go, so she lost her temper and kicked him off the bed.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth all night. He went to the second bedroom and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
In the end, he shamelessly slipped back to the master bedroom and coaxed her for a long time before she finally relented and gave him half of the bed.
She was still asleep when he left in the morning.
He instructed the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her, but he didn't eat a bite himself and went straight to the company.
I feel so choked up.
He was certain that Sheng Tingxiao's return had changed her.
That heart, at least a quarter of it, was no longer entirely devoted to him.
Damn it!
Fu Beichen became increasingly agitated. What if something unexpected happened at this wedding again?
Lin Qi brought in a cup of hand-drip coffee and immediately saw his boss's face, which could freeze a person to death.
He carefully placed the coffee down.
"President Fu, Chen Sen has taken care of the branch office matters and will be back to report this afternoon."
"The wedding preparations are almost complete, except for the delivery of your wife's custom-made jewelry set. You don't need to worry too much."
Lin Qi assumed that he was suffering from pre-wedding anxiety syndrome.
Fu Beichen turned his head abruptly, his gaze so cold it could shatter ice crystals, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"My rival is back!"
Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat.
A love rival!
Who else could be such a formidable rival to President Fu, besides Lu Lie?
Fu Beichen briefly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi frowned and immediately said, "Please wait for me."
He turned and ran out quickly, grabbed his phone and dialed Chen Sen's number. The two of them quickly discussed a plan.
Ten minutes later, Lin Qi returned, his face beaming with the excitement of "getting something out of this."
"President Fu, this time, we must take the initiative!"
"We need to make Sheng Tingxiao fully realize reality and dare not have any more improper thoughts."
"If the enemy doesn't move, we will!"
Fu Beichen raised an eyebrow, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
Not long after, the official Weibo account of the Fu Group suddenly released a set of stunning wedding photos.
The man in the photo is handsome and noble, and the woman is bright and beautiful; every frame is so sweet it's almost cloying.
The accompanying text was even more direct.
Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Fu a happy and prosperous wedding on the 25th of next month, and a long and happy life together.
The news caused the network to crash instantly.
The hashtag #Fu Beichen and Gu Xingnian's Wedding Date# immediately went viral and became the number one trending topic.
Those wedding photos quickly made it to the covers of top financial magazines both at home and abroad.
The internet exploded, with comments and reposts of well wishes exceeding ten million.
Holy crap! What an amazingly good-looking couple! They're so adorable, I'm totally shipping them!
[Wishing Mr. Fu and Mr. N a happy marriage, and may they have a second child soon! May every night be wonderful!]
[Ahhhh, only Fu Shoufu is worthy of my N God! These wedding photos are so beautiful I'm speechless, I love them so much!]
[If I could attend the wedding, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life! And in my next life, please let me be reborn into a wealthy family as a flower girl!]
Online praise poured in one wave after another, and blessings and compliments flooded in like a tide.
Fu Beichen held his phone, scrolling through the comments word by word, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, the pent-up frustration in his heart vanishing completely.
It was really awesome!
Seeing this, Lin Qi stepped forward and said, "President Fu, there's a second plan."
Fu Beichen was in a great mood and nodded, looking very confident.
He was already imagining the wonderful expression on Sheng Tingxiao's face when he saw these sweet wedding photos of him and Niannian.
At this moment, in a high-end restaurant in the city.
Sheng Tingxiao was having lunch with his mother when a trending topic popped up on his phone screen, causing his fingers, which were holding a knife and fork, to pause slightly.
He clicked on it, and the beautiful wedding photo on the screen made his eyes twitch, but his face remained expressionless.
On the other side, Gu Xingnian was a little confused as she looked at the overwhelming messages on her phone.
What's gotten into this guy lately?
He has never been such a high-profile person.
At the dining table, Sheng Tingxiao put down his phone, his handsome face turning completely somber.
He suddenly spoke up unintentionally.
"Mom, I haven't met Niannian's child yet."
Mrs. Sheng said with a smile, "It's in the Fu family's old house. Old Master Fu treasures it like the apple of his eye."
Sheng Tingxiao lowered his eyes. "I want to see."
“Okay,” Mrs. Sheng immediately agreed. “I’ll have Niannian bring the child over for dinner this weekend.”
She looked her son up and down, and asked with concern, "You haven't had a girlfriend all these years?"
"No."
"Then I'll arrange a few for you?"
“No rush,” he said calmly. “Let’s talk about it later.”
Sheng's mother didn't press him. "Okay. Your dad will take you to the company tomorrow. Get familiar with the environment and gradually integrate."
Sheng Tingxiao nodded, "Okay."
Mother Sheng smiled broadly and said, "I'll get you some new clothes later."
Sheng Tingxiao's eyes twitched, but he said something without saying a word.
“Niannian knows my preferences best. She used to help me pick out my clothes.”
It may seem like the speaker meant nothing by it, but the listener took it to heart.
Sheng's mother immediately called Gu Xingnian and invited her to come shopping.
Gu Xingnian agreed.
When she arrived at the mall, she saw Sheng's mother standing with the tall and handsome Sheng Tingxiao.
"mom."
"elder brother."
She called out, and Sheng Tingxiao nodded, his eyes glued to her, unable to look away.
Aunt Sheng held her hand and said something.
“I want to buy some clothes for your brother. He’s starting work at Sheng’s tomorrow. You know his preferences best, so I’d like you to take a look.”
Gu Xingnian smiled generously, "As long as you don't mind, I'll choose whatever you like."
"Then you can decide." Sheng Tingxiao looked at her, his eyes filled with endless tenderness.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind.
"Honey, I want to buy clothes too, and you have to put together a complete outfit from head to toe."
Fu Beichen appeared behind her at some point. He stood tall and elegant, his bespoke suit giving him an imposing presence. His gaze swept over Sheng Tingxiao before finally settling on Gu Xingnian.
He stepped forward, naturally put his arm around Gu Xingnian's waist, and kissed her on the cheek...
Sheng Tingxiao's face darkened.
