Chapter 370 The protective and devoted woman VS The soft-hearted man who harbors grievances 28
Jiang Zhiyi visibly panicked, wondering how to gloss over the situation.
She just thought it was funny, so she changed all the nicknames for him in her contacts to "godfather," never expecting that he would accidentally see them now.
"This...this him..."
Seeing her like this, Fu Chengyan knew at a glance that she was hiding something from him.
His expression turned cold. He ignored her ramblings and picked up her phone to dial the number saved as "godfather".
Soon, his cell phone rang in the car.
The atmosphere in the car froze for a moment. No one spoke, only his phone kept ringing.
Jiang Zhiyi pouted, leaning against him with a look of utter despair, burying her face in his clothes, trying to hide her embarrassment in this quail-like manner.
Fu Chengyan frowned, then clicked to check the contact information, and it was indeed his phone number.
"Godfather? You'd better explain yourself." He pulled the person who was clinging to him and acting like a spoiled child off him. "What do you mean by 'godfather'? When did I get a daughter your age?"
Jiang Zhiyi's voice sounded muffled, "It's just a funny nickname, it doesn't mean anything else, don't overthink it..."
She looked up at him again, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.
Fu Chengyan looked at her for a while, then sighed helplessly, reached out and pinched her face hard. His tone wasn't harsh, but it wasn't very kind either, "Don't do it again. Change it right now."
"Oh, I understand." Jiang Zhiyi took the phone and immediately changed the contact name back to her real name.
Actually, she felt that "godfather" sounded much more approachable; changing it to his name now felt cold and impersonal.
"Are you satisfied now?" She held the phone up to his face and waved it, then hummed a few times in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, let's go home. Get some rest early tonight." He reached out and touched her face.
Before leaving, Jiang Zhiyi kissed him again, "Then I'm going back."
"Um."
The black car parked there didn't slowly start and leave until she went upstairs.
...
For the next few days, Jiang Zhiyi slept at her own home every night.
She had some family matters to attend to these past few days and couldn't leave, so she simply stayed home; she was too lazy to travel back and forth.
Although Fu Chengyan didn't urge her to go over, he would come to see her every night.
The two would stay in the car for a while, chatting, gossiping, hugging or kissing...
Jiang Zhiyi inexplicably felt that they were just like a young couple afraid of being discovered by their parents, or a cheating couple who were having affairs behind their partner's back.
"Don't you think it's a bit strange that we're having an affair right now?" She tugged at his tie, which had a faint lipstick mark on it—the mark she had deliberately kissed earlier.
What she just said was actually a hint to him: don't come looking for her these next few days. She's tired of having to find an excuse to sneak out every night.
Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow, then shook his head.
Jiang Zhiyi was deflated when she saw that he was unyielding and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep for a while, wake me up in half an hour." She simply lay down on him and went to sleep, not intending to pay any more attention to him.
Since he refused to leave, she had another option: she would simply ignore him.
Fu Chengyan thought she was really sleepy, so he didn't say anything and just took his suit jacket and covered her with it.
An affair?
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
The two met secretly, without any official relationship or proper acquaintance, behind her family's back; it could indeed be considered a clandestine affair.
How can it not count? He could give her a legitimate identity, or have her change herself into another man approved by her family.
After thinking about it, Fu Chengyan realized that the former was the more acceptable option for him compared to the latter.
He seemed to have jumped out of the wire cage that had been trapping him, and suddenly everything became clear.
Perhaps he really should consider this matter carefully.
Remembering something, he called his secretary.
"Those gift agreements... well, we don't need to process them for now... go find the person in charge again..."
He continued giving instructions.
Jiang Zhiyi, who was sleeping on him, suddenly became alert. She had indeed fallen asleep for a while, but only for a few minutes.
She was already awake when he picked up his phone to make a call, but then pretended to be asleep and didn't make a sound.
What does Fu Chengyan mean by this?
Why would you suddenly call your secretary and say that you don't need the gift agreement anymore?
Is he planning to give her no compensation at all and just kick her to the curb?
Jiang Zhiyi was both angry and anxious.
