For every sentence Wu Ma spoke, she took ten steps back.
After saying his last words, he dashed downstairs and quickly disappeared.
Fu Jingyao sighed helplessly.
Aunt Wu is a great cook and a very kind person.
However, when she has free time, she loves to read all kinds of novels, especially romance novels featuring domineering CEOs, and she always has some strange ideas in her mind.
It can be seen from that love picture book that Wu Ma has an active mind and is well-read.
The person on the bed was sleeping soundly. Fu Jingyao closed his eyes briefly, then turned around and went back to the room to change her clothes.
They are a married couple, so changing clothes is perfectly normal.
Fu Jingyao found a loose set of pajamas, helped Lin Xi change her clothes without looking at her, and quietly closed the door before leaving.
The next day, Lin Xi rubbed her eyes.
It feels so good, like every pore on my body has opened up.
She always slept very soundly next to Fu Jingyao, and couldn't even hear the thunder outside.
I woke up feeling completely refreshed.
Lin Xi got out of bed to wash up and was surprised to find that the purple aura on her body was extremely thick, equivalent to having bitten Fu Jingyao three times.
This means that she and Fu Jingyao had been in close contact for a long time.
Holy crap! What did she do last night?
Huh? Why did she change her clothes?
Lin Xi finished her shower feeling dizzy and went out to find people and food.
The man sat on the sofa drinking tea, and she waved to him, saying, "Good morning."
Fu Jingyao looked up. "It's four o'clock in the afternoon."
"Huh?" Lin Xi chuckled dryly. "Who helped me change my clothes last night?"
Fu Jingyao stared at the teacup in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly. "Wu Ma changed it."
Lin Xi looked around and asked, "Where is Aunt Wu?"
Like Butler Liu, Aunt Wu is incredibly mysterious; she appears out of nowhere at crucial moments, but is rarely seen otherwise.
Fu Jingyao said in a calm tone, "Aunt Wu hurt her back and is recuperating at the old house. She won't be coming over to cook for the next few days."
Lin Xi was stunned. "How did Aunt Wu hurt her back? Is it serious?"
Fu Jingyao readily agreed, saying, "Old people have many ailments, but they'll be fine after a few days of rest. You don't need to worry about Aunt Wu."
Lin Xi asked in confusion, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"I finished up some work at the company and left early." Fu Jingyao glanced at his watch. "Want to eat?"
"Let's eat," Lin Xi suggested excitedly. "Let's go out to eat, it's on me."
Okay, what would you like to eat?
"I'm fine with anything," Lin Xi emphasized. "It's my treat, you choose."
Fu Jingyao's lips curled slightly. "There's a restaurant here that has pretty good food. Let's go."
The two got into the car together and arrived quickly.
The Maybach pulled up in front of the restaurant, and a waiter immediately approached, "Do you two have a reservation?"
Fu Jingyao took out a black card with gold lettering, and the waiter became even more respectful, leading them directly to a private room.
Linxi looked around and saw a cluster of tall buildings below.
Fu Jingyao pushed the menu towards her, "Let's order."
Lin Xi picked it up and exclaimed, "Hot pot!"
She had been craving hot pot for a long time, and she never expected that Fu Jingyao would bring her here to eat hot pot.
Looking at the decor here, I thought it was a high-end Western restaurant, the kind where you get a tiny bit of food on a plate.
However, the hot pot here isn't cheap either.
Lin Xi glanced at it and was stunned.
Soup base 5888, five slices of beef 1888, ten shrimp 2888, one serving of fried rice 399, one plate of tripe 1988, one bottle of regular Coke 68!
No need to look at king crab, black abalone, etc., the price is followed by a string of "8".
Linxi was numb.
This isn't hotpot; it's the fragrance of money.
Fu Jingyao noticed her expression change and said, "Order whatever you like, I'll pay."
"No," Lin Xi refused.
She's been running her stall for so long, she must have some savings. She can afford a meal, right?
Lin Xi put down the menu, took a deep breath, and said, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. I promised to treat you to dinner, so naturally I should pay."
Fu Jingyao stared at her intently and said, word by word, "We are not brothers, but husband and wife. There's no need to be so precise."
Lin Xi pouted, "I've already said it."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Fu Jingyao called over a waiter to order food.
As dishes were served, Lin Xi tried her best not to think about the prices and focused on eating.
I have to admit, 5888's soup base is just different; it's incredibly delicious.
After finishing the last shrimp, Lin Xi slumped in her chair, rubbing her stomach.
Fu Jingyao chuckled, "Are you full?"
"I'm full, let's go."
Lin Xi picked up her phone and glanced at it.
Yunyan asked to add her as a friend, and she accepted his request. They then went out to pay the bill.
A slightly overweight man rushed over and said, "President Fu, you're coming to dinner. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Please forgive me if we haven't been able to entertain you properly."
He asked curiously, "Mr. Fu, who is this?"
Fu Jingyao spoke slowly and deliberately, "My wife."
"Oh, oh, huh?!"
Manager Ma's eyes widened as he tried his best to suppress his excitement. "Mrs. Fu, hello. I apologize for not recognizing you earlier."
"Hello." Lin Xi said, holding her phone. "This is my first time here. Where do I pay?"
Manager Ma's eyes widened again. He stood there for several seconds, secretly glancing at President Fu's expression.
He cleared his throat. "President Fu and our boss are friends. The boss said that no matter when President Fu comes to eat, he doesn't need to pay the bill."
"Mrs. Fu, this is our boss's idea."
Lin Xi was taken aback. "But..."
Fu Jingyao grasped her wrist. "Don't worry about it, let's go home."
Lin Xi was pulled forward by him, "Your friend is a really good person."
