Chapter 24 His Farewell to Her
Yes!
Unfortunately... it's gone!
Gu Xingnian felt a lump in her throat!
But she ultimately didn't say it out loud. What difference would it make if she did?
Could he possibly avenge his child?
But judging from his behavior, it seems that the drugging incident had nothing to do with him!
Even if he were the most despicable person in the world, as the president of the Fu Group, he wouldn't stoop so low as to plot against her pregnancy!
Gu Xingnian's eyes reddened, but she forced a casual remark and said:
"Fu Beichen, what makes you think I'd have your child? Do you think all the good men in the world are dead?"
He sneered, "Since everyone agrees on this, there's no need to argue about it."
I know Grandpa can't accept Kexin in a short time. I don't need you to do anything, just don't...
Add insult to injury!
It turns out he came to plead for the beauty!
"President Fu, you overestimate me. I don't have the habit of competing with a woman for attention. As long as she behaves herself, no one will want to mess with her."
Gu Xingnian looked at him coldly, her tone firm.
"It's good that you think that way!"
Fu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he feel...uncomfortable facing her at this moment?
"Mr. Fu, it's late, you should leave!" Gu Xingnian once again gave him the order to leave.
However, Fu Beichen had no intention of leaving!
Frustrated, he reached out and loosened his tie, revealing a small patch of his muscular chest.
He said in a commanding tone, "I'm hungry! Make me something to eat."
This was the first time in three years that he had made such a request to her.
Gu Xingnian was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She immediately resumed her indifferent demeanor.
"There aren't many ingredients here. If you don't mind, I can cook you a bowl of noodles."
"Can."
He was very sparing with his words.
Gu Xingnian didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Fu Beichen walked to the balcony.
The night breeze, carrying the city's hustle and bustle, caressed him.
In the distance, the neon lights of the Fu Building flickered in the night, like a sharp sword piercing straight into the heart of the city.
His gaze was fixed on a certain spot in the building.
From this angle, you can see exactly where his office is located.
Unfortunately, she will probably never know which floor or which location it was.
She never went to his company, not even once.
In these three years, it seems she has never truly entered his world.
Yet it felt as if he had never opened the door to her.
His eyes became very complex, showing a mixture of irritation, inquiry, and a hint of...loss that he himself didn't even realize.
About ten minutes later.
Gu Xingnian came out carrying a white porcelain bowl.
The bowl contained a bowl of plain vegetable noodles in clear broth, topped with a golden fried egg and garnished with a few strands of shredded chicken.
It looks simple, but it's surprisingly... tempting.
"It looks good."
Fu Beichen gave a brief comment and sat down at the dining table.
He picked up his chopsticks, took a small pinch of noodles, and put them in his mouth.
The taste was surprisingly just right, neither too salty nor too bland.
The noodles are chewy and the broth is clear and refreshing.
Perhaps he was truly hungry, for he ate quickly, yet his movements remained impeccably polite, exuding an innate elegance.
Gu Xingnian stood not far away, quietly watching him.
Watching him eat his noodles with his head down, my vision suddenly became a little blurry.
She suddenly remembered that when she was studying in France, she often did the same thing, hiding in a corner of the library or secretly watching him eat through the glass window of a coffee shop.
At that time, he was two grades ahead of her and was the pride of heaven, always surrounded by all kinds of beautiful girls.
She was just the most inconspicuous one in the crowd.
My eyes welled up with tears.
He quickly finished the small bowl of noodles, leaving hardly any soup behind.
Fu Beichen put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
This was the only dinner she ever made for him as his wife.
He's tasted it!
He looked up at her, his face expressionless.
"Come to the company at 10 a.m. tomorrow to sign the agreement."
"In addition, I will give you three hundred million."
"Consider this my compensation for these past three years! I will also transfer the ownership of the villa you used to live in to your name, so you won't have to live in this small place anymore."
His tone was as calm as if he were discussing a business deal.
Although she had stated beforehand that she didn't want anything after the divorce.
But he... didn't want to owe her anything!
Gu Xingnian's fingers, hanging by her side, curled up slightly, her nails almost digging into her palms.
She raised her chin, her face still bearing that cold expression.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu!"
Finally, he opened the door and left.
Apart from the faint scent of cologne, the air was as if he had never been there.
The moment the door closed, Gu Xingnian seemed to lose all her strength, and she slowly slid down to the ground.
Under the light, her eyes were red-rimmed.
She finally understood why he had come tonight.
But it was... goodbye!
Three years.
Three hundred million! Compensation?
Actually, he doesn't need to give anything!
It's been twelve years, and now she's stopping!
She has now completely repaid his kindness to her!
The next day, at 9:50 AM.
As Gu Xingnian stepped through the revolving glass doors of the Fu Group building, the sunlight pierced through the clouds, but it brought her no warmth whatsoever.
Lin Qi was already waiting in the lobby, dressed in the standard attire of an elite special assistant, with an impeccable professional smile on his face.
"Madam, this way please!"
There was no dramatic scene of questioning her at the front desk as she had expected, and no unnecessary scrutiny. Lin Qi led her directly to an elevator that looked quite different from others.
The elevator's operating sound is deep and pleasant.
The interior space is spacious, and after pressing the top floor button, the elevator ascends rapidly and silently.
The 79th floor.
When the numbers stop ticking, the elevator doors slide open.
What comes into view is an excessively spacious area. Passing by the president's office, a quick glance reveals that he has six secretaries, five men and one woman.
Upon arriving at the president's office, Lin Qi used his name tag to open the door.
Stepping inside, the interior design is minimalist yet exudes elegance. A refreshing, light fragrance permeates the air; it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, but it brings a sense of peace, or perhaps a sense of detachment.
“Madam, Mr. Fu is still in a meeting, which will end in about ten minutes.” Lin Qi’s voice was steady. “Please have a seat. This is the agreement; you can take a look at it first.”
Gu Xingnian nodded and took the not-too-thick document.
She walked to the sofa, placed the document on the coffee table, opened it, and went straight to the last page where she needed to sign.
The pen tip glides across the paper, leaving her name.
Swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
She didn't even look at the terms; the result was the same anyway, wasn't it?
Holding the signed agreement in her hand, she did not hand it back to Lin Qi.
A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in Lin Qi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Madam, I'll go prepare a cup of coffee for you. The president will be here soon to see if he has any further instructions."
"Thank you," she said softly.
Lin Qi turned and left, leaving her alone in the office.
