Chapter 23
As he thought about it, he subconsciously rubbed his temples which were throbbing.
Looking out the window, a violent storm was sweeping in.
People always say that he is heartless and seems to have no compassion, and is a ruthless and dictatorial CEO, but they don’t know that he watched his father with his own eyes since he was a child, leading a team alone with bare hands, without an office, and carrying a bag to fight his way out in the business war.
No matter how glamorous the surface is, he can see how much sadness there is behind the scenes.
He now owns shares in the empire that he had built with his father's bare hands, and has everything he deserves. However, human greed is insatiable, and as his life gets better and better, his greed becomes even greater.
So, he decided to let the fire burn a little more vigorously and then he could wipe it out completely.
When I came back to my senses, Ke Xin had already come out of the bathroom. She was wearing his white shirt, which just covered her thighs. She exuded the scent of gentian after a shower. The messy makeup she had applied was gone, and her eyelashes were misty and she looked like a lotus emerging from water!
Fu Xuan's eyes flickered, and he pinched her jaw, saying in a commanding tone, "Don't wear makeup anymore!"
"Well, I spent three hours researching this makeup just for you!" There was still moisture on Ke Xin's eyelashes. When she spoke, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. Fu Xuan looked less tired.
He didn't respond, but threw her onto the bed and pressed his whole body against her.
Ke Xin groaned, perhaps because there had been no affection for a few days. At this moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she seemed to be more cooperative, with a hint of anticipation.
He leaned over and pressed Ke Xin, who was sitting on her lap, under him. The trees outside were shaking in the wind. Fu Xuan saw that Ke Xin's waist was only slightly bigger than his fist, so he slowed down his movements, fearing that her slender waist would be hurt.
"Are you hungry?" Afterwards, Fu Xuan gently stroked Ke Xin's hand, his face calm as if he was staring at a work of art.
Ke Xin loosened her grip on the bed sheet, her face flushed, her hair on her forehead wet with sweat. After taking a breath, she murmured softly, "A little bit!"
She wasn't hungry originally, but every time after exercising with him, her stomach felt like it was hollowed out. She was already thin, and since following Fu Xuan, she had lost another three pounds.
Hearing this, Fu Xuan wrapped himself in a towel and walked towards the bathroom. Before closing the door, he tilted his head and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it!"
Ke Xin was stunned, still curled up in the quilt and asked, "Can you cook?"
Fu Xuan raised his eyes and nodded.
Ke Xin huddled up slightly and asked tentatively, "What can you do?"
Fu Xuan shrugged, gave her a mysterious smile, and said, "Your toiletries are ready on the sink. After you take a shower, just wait for the food to come!"
It was indeed overbearing, but she liked it, especially when she didn't know what she wanted to eat, and she could still open the blind box with a little expectation. Ke Xin thought to herself, and forced herself to get up and wash up.
There were indeed many more women's products on the washbasin, even Helena's black bandages.
Ke Xin liked the smell of Fu Xuan, so she didn't open the bottle of shower gel with an English name on it, but used Fu Xuan's men's shower gel. After showering, she just wiped her face with a black bandage.
Her face was originally delicate and fair, and after the black bandage was applied, her entire skin looked like it had been resurfaced.
After taking a shower, she put on Fu Xuan's white shirt and went barefoot to see how Fu Xuan cooked.
I saw Fu Xuan wearing a scarf and frying steak seriously.
"How do you want it done?" Fu Xuan said with his face tilted to the side.
Ke Xin was stunned. She didn't realize that Fu Xuan had already noticed her presence. Then, she couldn't have been seen staring at him with a crazy look on her face just now.
Thinking of this, Ke Xin touched her face and said, "Well done!"
The steak looked very appetizing. The meat was air-shipped from France. It was tender and juicy. Ke Xin had never eaten such delicious meat before.
She remembered watching variety shows in the past and seeing that the food in the refrigerators of wealthy families alone cost more than one million yuan.
I didn't expect that now it would become a reality. When I eat with Fu Xuan, I either go to his private restaurant or eat at home. Even if I eat at home, the ingredients are either air-shipped or organic vegetables grown by them personally.
Ke Xin remembered that she had eaten blueberries bought from Sam's Club at Jiaqi's house. They had a sweet taste, which was very different from the sour blueberries in ordinary supermarkets. The blueberries from Fu Xuan's house tasted even purer than those bought from Sam's Club.
She suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so many women wanted to throw themselves at Fu Xuan when they saw him. Just by living with him, they could experience and see a different world. How could this not make people confused?
Fu Xuan always eats quietly, and seems to be very literary when doing anything, except when he is in bed.
After dinner, Ke Xin imitated her role as the heroine in the skit and stood on tiptoe to tie Fu Xuan's tie.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan watched Ke Xin tying her tie with interest.
He looked serious but clumsy, and her delicate skin occasionally touched his Adam's apple. In an instant, Ke Xin felt Fu Xuan's cold breath suddenly become hot.
Just as she was surprised, his palm touched her hand, and his gentle tone was faintly smiling: "It's tied crooked!"
Ke Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the bow tie in her hand. It was indeed crooked, and she couldn't help but blush.
Fu Xuan ruffled her hair and leaned over to give her a kiss: "I'm going on a business trip to Korea soon. If you need anything, just swipe my card!"
"Are you like this to your previous women too?" Ke Xin didn't know where her stubborn temper came from. She felt inexplicably disgusted when she heard this and asked involuntarily.
Fu Xuan's expression rippled slightly, and then he said with gentle eyes: "No, I only do this to you!"
Ke Xin inexplicably became serious: "Why?"
This question is very delicate. A good answer means you love her, but a slight mistake can lead to misunderstanding. Her current status is special, so it is easy to frame the issue as an excuse for keeping a mistress or pitying her for being a single mother.
In short, this question is not easy to answer.
Fu Xuan pondered for a moment: "Why so many whys!"
After saying that, he changed the subject: "Aunt Fang is bringing Baobao back, you can bring Baobao to live here!"
It was obvious that Fu Xuan's answer was perfunctory. Ke Xin didn't want to ask any more questions and restored her usual friendly smile: "I'll take Bao Bao back later. Be safe on your business trip!"
Seeing this, Fu Xuan didn't say much, and the two hugged each other and said goodbye.
Fu Xuan was still thinking about that question. He was not a man who was keen on keeping a mistress, nor did he have the habit of spending lavishly on women. When Ke Xin suddenly asked him this question just now, he suddenly thought of his mother, and felt a strange feeling surge in his heart.
At first, he was attracted by Ke Xin's long seaweed-like hair, just like her mother. After getting to know her better, he found that their experiences were surprisingly similar. They were both divorced and rented a house alone with their children. Even though they looked broken on the surface, there was still unquestionable tenacity in their eyes. This spirit was something he inherited from her mother Lai Guo, and the second was Ke Xin.
Then, he was shocked by her different side, even the scene where she shot someone in the head with a wine bottle. He had witnessed this feat with his own eyes when he was a child with his mother. Sometimes Fu Xuan couldn't help but think that if his mother Lai Guo were still alive, these two women might be sisters and could sit together to drink and chat.
Because of this, he, a man who never brings women home, would never ask a woman to stay overnight, and he would not even live under a woman's roof, let alone a house with stairs.
But when he thought about it carefully, he had indeed made exceptions for her several times for some unknown reason.
On the other side, Ke Xin yawned, and despite Aunt Fang's strong persuasion, she still took Bao Bao back to the rental house.
Bao Bao looked at Fu Xuan reluctantly as he saw that he had prepared many children's toys for her. He even had a small and exquisite playground installed for her in the huge living room.
This is too tempting for children.
For a moment, Ke Xin thought, how nice it would be if Bao Bao was her and Fu Xuan’s biological child, then she could enjoy his efforts with peace of mind.
But she is not like that. Ke Xin always has a ruler in her heart. After experiencing Weijie's backstabbing, even when she faces Fu Xuan, who is cold but warm-hearted, she still unconsciously builds a wall in her heart.
"Mom, Uncle Fu Xuan is so good to you, why don't you listen to him and stay in his villa!"
On the way back, when Ke Xin heard Bao Bao say this, she became more determined in her inner thoughts and couldn't help but take the opportunity to discipline him: "Bao Bao, those are Uncle Fu Xuan's assets, not ours. We women should be like men. If we want something, we must fight for it with our own hands instead of waiting for it to come to us. Do you understand?"
Bao Bao nodded naively: "I know, Mom!"
Ke Xin rubbed her belly and told stories while pointing at the starry sky along the way.
There are occasional stories interspersed in the story, which are nothing more than that women should be self-reliant. She hopes that when Baobao grows up, she can earn what she wants with her own hands, instead of being a bird in a cage for others.
Many times, she always felt that the world she lived in was a huge and bizarre set of rules.
One of the strange stories about the rules: Why would a daughter who had been raised for twenty years be driven to her husband's house? The reason was that she would have a home in the future, but in reality, the daughter who had been raised for twenty years gave birth to a child for her husband's family and called an old man and woman who had only met a few times dad and mom!
The second strange story of the rule: If the daughter’s parents cannot give 100% to their daughter, how can they think that the daughter can have a good life in her husband’s family!
The third strange story of the rules: There are so many scumbags in this society, why do they think their daughters can be happy just by getting married!
Therefore, the safest way is that she hopes that if Baobao is a good student in the future, he will be admitted to a good university and join a good company or a good career in the future.
If she is not good at studying, then she can learn a skill. In short, the path she wants to take is definitely not the one that relies on men.
There are so many scumbags nowadays, even Fu Xuan, she can't guarantee how long she can stay with him. When she comes back from a business trip, her situation may be completely different.
So she must let her daughter know that it is better to rely on herself than to rely on others.
On the way back, Ke Xin bought some vegetables while passing through the bustling streets.
Suddenly, Bao Bao pointed at the little boy standing in the corner and said, "Mom, isn't this the neighbor's son?"
Ke Xin looked in the direction of Bao Bao's finger and saw the boy standing there timidly, holding a bag of empty bottles and jars in his hand!
