Chapter 332 Starting with this Richest Man's Wife
He kissed her directly.
Lin Xiaoli's mind went blank for a moment, and he instantly became mostly clear-headed.
She pushed him desperately, "Mr. Sheng, it's not me! You've mistaken me for someone else..."
But it was all in vain.
This sleepless night caused Lin Xiaoli to lose everything.
The next morning.
Sheng Tingxiao woke up with a splitting headache, and there was no one beside him.
His gaze swept across the room and he saw a dried, dark red bloodstain on the snow-white sheets.
He patted his aching head, unable to remember anything.
I have a blackout.
I only vaguely remember drinking with Lin Xiaoli in a private room last night. That woman can really drink.
He quickly got up, went into the bathroom to take a shower, then dressed and left the room.
Lin Xiaoli arrived at the company to clock in, sporting two huge dark circles under her eyes and feeling sore all over.
"Hey, Xiaoli, those dark circles under your eyes, did you go out and compete with the national treasure for KPIs yesterday?" This time it was Sheng Weiwei's turn to tease her.
Lin Xiaoli shook her head, looking weak and listless.
"No... I just have insomnia."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the internal phone of the General Secretary's Office rang.
[Have Lin Xiaoli go to the president's office immediately.]
Lin Xiaoli's heart clenched, and she felt her hands and feet turn ice cold.
What is President Sheng planning? Is he going to settle scores with her?
Does he think she's the kind of woman who would do anything to climb the social ladder, and that he wants to crush her like an ant?
She left so early and even helped him get dressed; he probably didn't notice anything.
With a heart full of trepidation, she arrived at the door of the CEO's office and knocked.
In the office, Sheng Tingxiao, dressed in a sharp suit, looked radiant and showed no signs of the fatigue from a hangover.
He looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on her.
What happened last night?
Lin Xiaoli was stunned. Had he blacked out?
"What's with the blood on the bed?" he pressed.
Lin Xiaoli clenched her fists nervously, her mind racing, and blurted out.
"I...I got my period. I drank too much last night and just lay in bed for a while, and accidentally stained the sheets. I didn't do anything!"
This was the only excuse she could come up with.
Upon hearing this answer, Sheng Tingxiao breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
As long as what he imagined doesn't happen, that's fine.
"Get out." His voice regained its usual coldness.
Lin Xiaoli also breathed a heavy sigh of relief; her life was saved.
She turned and walked to the door, but then suddenly remembered something and mustered up her courage to turn back.
"Mr. Sheng, yesterday... I drank a total of thirteen glasses of wine, and the money..."
Sheng Tingxiao looked up at her.
"Give me your phone, scan me."
Lin Xiaoli hurriedly took out her phone and scanned his QR code in a flurry.
Sheng Tingxiao accepted her friend request and immediately transferred 150,000 yuan to her.
Lin Xiaoli's eyes widened as she looked at the extra numbers on her phone, and she quickly thanked him.
"President Sheng, thank you, thank you so much!"
He looked at her and said something seriously.
"Don't go to those places again."
"Okay, sure." Lin Xiaoli nodded vigorously, then turned and walked out of the office.
As soon as she stepped outside, she immediately hid in the stairwell and excitedly made a phone call to the hospital.
"Director He, it's me, Lin Xiaoli! I'll come over at noon to pay the fees. Please arrange my mother's surgery as soon as possible!"
"good."
A positive answer came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Xiaoli hung up the phone, smiled, but her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Consider this money as the money she earned from selling herself.
She felt it was worth it to save her mother's life.
...
The next day, Fu Beichen brought Gu Xingnian back to the Fu family's laboratory.
Bai Yu acted quickly, having already obtained all the gene samples and data previously seized on Fire Island.
I delivered it to her last night.
Looking at those precious materials, she couldn't wait to immerse herself in the research.
This experiment has the potential to stop cancer cells from growing.
The thought of this possibility filled her with enthusiasm.
Last night, Fu Beichen was overjoyed to learn that she was going back to the lab.
Being near the water gives you an advantage.
He was calculating in his mind: as long as she was under his watchful eye every day, what chance would Sheng Tingxiao have?
For this reason, he even went against his usual behavior and didn't bother her much at night, but just held her and slept quietly, which she found somewhat unbelievable.
Fu Beichen also attached great importance to her return, and specially assigned her two capable female assistants, and also had Lin Qi on standby at all times, taking care of her in every possible way.
At noon, Fu Beichen personally came downstairs to pick her up and take her to the president's office for lunch.
She was still focused on the experiment and didn't eat much.
He sat down beside her, holding chopsticks, gently coaxing her while constantly feeding her food.
"Just one more bite, just one more bite."
His voice was deep and patient.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated on the table.
Gu Xingnian picked up the message and glanced at it. Her previously calm eyes instantly lit up, and she couldn't help but smile brightly.
Fu Beichen's chopsticks paused in mid-air as he looked up at her.
What's making you so happy?
She quickly put away her phone and shook her head. "It's nothing."
Just now, Sheng Tingxiao sent me a photo.
A fluffy Samoyed followed by eight tiny puppies.
A line of text appeared below the photo.
[Back then, the little white cloud you picked up on the road, Aunt Zhang raised it into a family of nine, three generations living together.]
Look, it's turned into an old white cloud now.
She felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Unexpectedly, he still remembered this incident and even went out of his way to take a picture of the little white cloud.
Seeing her barely concealed smile, Fu Beichen's alarm bells went off instantly.
There's definitely something wrong!
There's a secret!
Something's up!
He craned his neck, trying to peek at her phone screen.
As a result, everything went completely black.
Damn, a privacy screen protector!
He remembered that the three sisters had put this on when they came back from their last shopping trip together.
Gu Xingnian put down her chopsticks and stood up before Fu Beichen could say anything more tender.
"I'm going downstairs to rest for a while, don't disturb me."
She gave him a warning, then quickly kissed him on the handsome cheek and ran away.
Fu Beichen touched his cheek that had been kissed, but he felt extremely frustrated.
He immediately grabbed his phone and sent a message to his friends' group chat.
Do Weiwei and Qingning also use privacy screen protectors on their phones? @BaiYu @HuoShenyuan
Bai Yu replied instantly: 【My Weiwei's screen is white, I don't use those stickers.】
Huo Shenyuan chimed in: [My Qingning doesn't have a screen protector, I'll buy her a new one when it breaks.]
Fu Beichen's handsome face darkened completely.
Frustrated, he pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a drag, got up, went downstairs, and headed straight for Gu Xingnian's office.
The office was quiet. She was taking a nap on her desk, her phone lying to the side.
Fu Beichen tiptoed inside.
He bent down, his long, slender fingers just touching her phone.
At the slightest sound, Gu Xingnian suddenly opened her eyes.
"Why are you here?" Her voice was still hoarse from just waking up.
Fu Beichen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly withdrew his hand, casually put down his phone, and then reached out as if to hug her.
"I'm worried you might not be sleeping comfortably, so I'd like to take you to the rest room."
She nudged him and sat up straight.
"No need, I'm rested, I'm going to the lab."
After saying that, she got up and walked out.
He pulled her into his arms from behind and held her tightly.
"Honey, let's go to the mountain for dinner tonight."
"Aren't we going back to the old house to see Yu Yu tonight?" she asked in his arms.
“We haven’t been romantic in a long time. Let’s go on a date tonight.” He rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice muffled.
Gu Xingnian was amused by his clingy attitude.
"Aren't you tired of being together all the time?"
Fu Beichen froze instantly, his heart pounding with alarm. He abruptly turned her around so she was facing him, and nervously asked her a question.
"Gu Xingnian, are you tired of me?"
Seeing his expression as if the sky were about to fall, Gu Xingnian couldn't help but laugh.
"It's just an analogy."
She patted his face reassuringly.
"Okay, I'll go on a date with you tonight."
"Don't overthink it, I'm going to work."
That evening, Fu Beichen really did take her to the vegetarian restaurant on the mountain they had visited before.
At that time, she hadn't had children yet. He remembered that she really liked the food here, so he brought her here again.
After the meal, the car didn't go down the mountain, but instead drove to an even higher place.
Finally, we stopped at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea.
A beautiful tent had already been set up there.
The sea breeze was a bit chilly, so transparent windproof panels were specially installed around the tent.
Fu Beichen took Gu Xingnian's hand and got out of the car.
The moment she stepped onto the grass, fireflies suddenly appeared in the surrounding darkness, filling the sky and the earth.
Countless points of light surrounded her and rose up, just like the firefly cave in Maduri.
Her eyes flickered, and her face was filled with surprise.
Fu Beichen embraced her and planted a deep kiss on her lips, with fireflies dancing in the sky as a backdrop.
Afterwards, he held her in his arms, his voice low and earnest.
“My dear, it was at the Firefly Cave in Maduri that we first opened our hearts to each other. Today, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you again.”
"I want to spend my whole life with you, without any regrets."
Gu Xingnian turned around and looked intently into his eyes.
"Fu Beichen, I also want to spend my whole life with you, without any regrets."
Fu Beichen stared at her, his eyes swirling with complex emotions.
“Niannian, I missed your growth process, and that is my lifelong regret.”
"But I hope to grow old with you and love only you in this lifetime."
Gu Xingnian smiled and reached out to stroke his cheek.
"What's wrong? Tell me, what happened?"
Fu Beichen smiled, "I've realized that I'm already in love with you, hopelessly in love."
Gu Xingnian was amused by him.
He led her into the tent.
The tents were covered with soft carpets and lit with a few warm ambient lights.
He gently placed her on the cushion, supporting himself on either side of her body with his hands, enveloping her in his shadow.
He looked down at her and said something with utmost seriousness.
“Honey, let’s have a little brother or sister for Yuyu.”
Gu Xingnian was stunned for a moment.
"Yu Yu is still so young, let's talk about it in a couple of years."
"Don't you think that raising a child together is a kind of happiness?" Fu Beichen looked at her intently, with a hint of unyielding obsession.
"What's wrong with you? You've been acting a bit strange lately?" Gu Xingnian stared at him, trying to see through the secret in his heart.
He smiled, but there was something in his smile that she couldn't understand.
"Honey, I'm perfectly normal, I just love you even more now."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her, a deep and urgent kiss.
When her breathing became unsteady and her cheeks flushed, she still pushed him away slightly and asked a question.
Where's the box?
"I brought it." He looked at her flushed face, which was breathtakingly beautiful, and then asked again, "Are you sure you don't want a second child?"
"The wedding is off?" she asked him in return.
"Even if the sky falls, we won't change the date." Fu Beichen said seriously, then added, "Then we'll make plans after the wedding."
He gave her no chance to speak, kissed her, and leaned down on her.
On the mountain, the lamplight inside the tent flickered gently.
Down the mountain, the waves surged, tirelessly crashing against the rocks...
Before long, the online platform exploded again.
A photo of Fu Beichen and Gu Xingnian kissing amidst a sky full of fireflies topped the trending searches.
The photos are absolutely beautiful, capturing the perfect atmosphere.
#The Richest Couple's Romantic Firefly Rendezvous#
The entry was followed by a bright red "爆" (explosive) character.
Sheng Tingxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a cigarette between his fingers, smoke swirling around him.
The light from the phone screen illuminated his gloomy face.
In the photo, Fu Beichen is embracing Gu Xingnian, kissing her passionately; their deep affection can be felt even through the screen.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray with tremendous force.
Sheng Weiwei was eating fruit when a trending topic suddenly popped up, making her eyes light up.
Bai Yu noticed her expression was somewhat somber and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look at how romantic other people are," she rolled her eyes at him and spat out, "You're just a womanizer!"
Bai Yu smiled, then suddenly picked her up and headed for the door.
What are you doing?
"Let's be romantic," Bai Yu said. "Let's create surprises."
"Other people's romance is carefully planned, not something you can just do on a whim?"
Sheng Weiwei glared at him and jumped off his arms.
Bai Yu picked her up again and placed her directly on the entryway cabinet.
"Let's have a serious discussion now: is being adventurous more important, or being carefree?"
He lowered his head and kissed her neck, making her dart around as it tickled.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have made so many demands. I'm going upstairs to take a shower now."
"Too late!" Bai Yu was not about to let her off so easily.
He wanted to make her cry until dawn...
At the same time, on the rooftop of a high-rise building on the other side of the city.
Venom and his two henchmen, a man and a woman, stood against the wind.
They have arrived.
Venom squinted, scrutinizing the woman in the photo repeatedly—Mrs. Fu, named Gu Xingnian.
"Hurricane Island..."
He murmured the place name.
“I remember that couple.”
He handed his phone to his female assistant.
"Their relationship is so good, Fu Beichen loves his wife to the core, why would he go to a place like that to buy a maid?"
A cold, stern smile curved Venom's lips.
“There’s something fishy going on here.” He turned around and gave the order to his two subordinates.
"Go check."
"Let's start with the wife of this richest man."
"Turn everyone around her upside down and see if there's any trace of Helis."
"yes."
The two assistants respectfully agreed.
A bolt of lightning cleaved the night sky.
Boom!
The wind picked up, and a torrential downpour was about to begin...
