Chapter 25: The Vixen Loves to See Marshal Tianpeng
At night, the aunt cleaned up the kitchen and went into the room. Butler Li dragged Ning Che to the kitchen and forced him to promise not to quarrel with Fu Chengyun tonight.
When Ning Che peeled all the lychees on the plate and was about to be annoyed to death by the nagging, Butler Li finally let him go.
He watched the old man walk out of the kitchen, looking back every few steps, and his head began to buzz. "No quarreling, no quarreling—" echoed in his ears like tinnitus. He walked up the stairs slowly with his head drooping, and when he stood at the door, he slapped his forehead impatiently.
Even without Li Guanjia's reminder, he didn't intend to have another disagreement with Fu Chengyun. It wasn't that he had changed for the better, but that Fu Chengyun was indeed a little off today.
When I first saw him, he was standing at the elevator entrance, his back slightly hunched, looking dejected like a battered stray dog.
So much so that when the alpha hugged him, even though the alpha's strong and powerful arms made it difficult for him to breathe, he didn't have the heart to push the poor man away.
But this person seemed to be holding him, recharging himself. When he released him, he suddenly revived with full energy, staring at him with eyes full of smiles, his reflection in his pupils shimmering with a soft halo. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, revealing such... chuckles?!
"Tsk~" Ning Che snorted. If Butler Li's nagging was annoying, then at this moment he felt an inexplicable restlessness rising in his heart.
Why do you have to eat my lychees?
This guy is still so annoying!
The inexplicable restlessness in his heart was transformed into the strength to push the door open.
Ning Che was startled when the master bedroom door opened.
The broad figure on the bed was very eye-catching. Ning Che couldn't fool himself even if he tried to ignore it.
"What are you doing here?" Ning Che said unhappily, standing beside the bed.
Jia'er was held in Fu Chengyun's arms, her chubby little body clamped between his legs, unable to move. Her mouth was stuffed full of potato chips, and she couldn't speak.
Fu Chengyun half-lay on the bed, feigning anger: "This kid insisted that I sleep with you, saying that you are afraid of the dark."
"Look at this!" He even pressed Jia'er's chubby little hand against his lapel, "You're holding me tightly and won't let me go!"
Ning Che saw through this trick. He leaned leisurely on the bedside table with his hands in his pockets. His upturned eyebrows were filled with mockery.
"But didn't I make you angry? You called me a scumbag! Don't you hate me the most? I'm afraid of disgusting you, so I'd better not bother you."
Fu Chengyun was well prepared. He pulled Ning Che's fair hand out of his trouser pocket, held it in his, stroking it gently, and smiled in an extremely flattering manner.
"Didn't Grandpa Li say that couples should make up after quarreling at the head of the bed. I know I was wrong, baby!"
"We're just pretending to be a couple, but in reality, you're you and I'm me! Don't get too caught up in the act!" He pulled his hand away forcefully. Fu Chengyun had anticipated this and held on tightly.
Ning Che tried twice to pull it out but failed, so he just let him do it.
He is a person who responds to soft words and does not respond to harsh words. Besides, he really feels comfortable when Fu Chengyun is around.
Even though he is not in a susceptible period now, he still can't help but secretly miss his strong embrace.
This time, the small hand wrapped in the big hand did not pull away.
Ning Che glanced over and commanded very skillfully.
"Go get the quilt."
"Okay!" Fu Chengyun immediately jumped up from the bed and ran to the next room to grab the quilt.
The moon hung high in the sky, a cloudless sky. Stars twinkled in the dark blue sky. Birds had just returned from their nests in the sycamore trees, chirping non-stop.
Ning Che had already learned to tell time. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was still early, so he allowed Jiaer to watch cartoons for half an hour.
So the three of them squeezed into one bed, Fu Chengyun hurting his enemies while also hurting himself. He held Jia'er tightly in his arms to prevent him from getting into Ning Che's arms.
Jia'er didn't seem to notice and grabbed the remote, yelling excitedly, "Yeah! I want to watch Peppa Pig!"
Ning Che leaned against the headboard, poking at the tassels of the desk lamp, not even bothering to glance at the screen.
"If we talk about pig spirits, it has to be Marshal Tianpeng!"
Jiaer looked up at the sky speechlessly, snuggled in Fu Chengyun's arms and chewed potato chips with a crunching sound.
Fu Chengyun looked at his perfectly contoured profile.
My baby is so funny!
——
In the early morning light, Fu Chengyun woke up before the alarm clock rang.
Afraid that the sudden noise would disturb the adult and child, he set his phone to vibrate and held it in his hand all night. He tiptoed out of the bedroom and went into the guest room to wash and change clothes.
The phone vibrated twice on the sink. Fu Chengyun turned on the screen and saw that it was Assistant Lin who sent him today's schedule.
The first task is to return to the company for a meeting and report to the board of directors on the progress of the French project.
Fu Chengyun knew clearly that this was not a report at all, but a complete public humiliation.
Fu Chen wanted all shareholders to witness with their own eyes how dire the consequences of disobeying him would be.
How smooth the results of obeying him are.
Taking the West City project away from him is like giving Fu Linyu a sweet treat, while giving him an impossible task is like giving him a slap in the face.
Killing people and destroying their hearts! The old man knows that a slap in the face with pearls and jade is loud enough, and that biased things are enough to make people angry.
But despite trying his best, he still lost to Fu Chen, and ended up with nothing. Such an ending is shocking enough.
At least it was enough to scare him.
The knuckles of his hands gripping the phone were turning blue from the force he exerted.
The confrontation with Fu Chen had exhausted him, and now there was Fu Linyu. It was even worse. But what was coming would come, and he couldn't avoid it.
Fu Chenyun pressed his brows with his knuckles, his eyelids drooping, covering the deep gloom in his eyes. He didn't notice a pink Porsche passing by his car.
Inside the Porsche, Lizzie was holding her cell phone and calling the same number over and over again.
None of the calls were answered.
"It must be that guy's doing!" She threw her cell phone on the seat, staring at the white building outside the window, her sharp voice sounding like it was on fire.
Ever since that international call, Lizi hadn't been able to get through to Fu Chengyun again. When she called Assistant Lin, the expressionless female voice kept repeating the same sentence mechanically.
"Sorry, Miss Li. Mr. Fu is in a meeting. I will inform him of your call later."
Waiting is a very exhausting thing. Especially waiting for a call from your loved one is the most torturous thing.
At first, she was very considerate and wondered if she had said something careless and used some foul language that made Cheng Yun dislike her.
Later, she wondered if that rude and brusque omega didn't allow Brother Cheng Yun to answer my call?
The phone hasn't rang for two whole days.
Finally, she even had a fantasy. Was it because that bitch was beaten stupid by Brother Cheng Yun after a disagreement?
It's not that stupid.
Even concussion is not okay!
Lizzie finally went crazy after a long period of not being able to eat or sleep, having wild thoughts, and being accused of all kinds of crimes.
It’s that damn omega. He must have stolen Cheng Yun’s phone and blocked me while he was sleeping!
His hands trembled violently, then clenched into fists. His long nails dug into his palms. In the dimly lit carriage, the aurora cat eyes on his nails glowed a faint blue, looking eerie and terrifying.
She felt a dull pain in her palm and suddenly remembered: last time he had abused Cheng Yun's brother!
The phone drew an arc in the air and hit the front seat with a dull sound.
The driver shuddered. He quickly observed her expression through the rearview mirror and advised, "Miss, don't worry. We have so many bodyguards with us. Are we really afraid of not being able to control a weak omega?"
"Humph! That's right!"
Seeing that his flattery had somewhat calmed Lizi's anger, the driver immediately continued. "You are backed by the Li family, one of the three major companies in S City. Who the hell is he? It's a blessing for him to have you come here in person."
"That's right!" Feeling that she had won, Lizzie sat up straight, adjusted her skirt with both hands, and stared out the window, almost staring a hole in it.
"This time, let's settle all the old and new scores together!"
The car stopped at the gate of a villa, and the driver ran out to open the door for Liz.
"Miss, stay away when they are beating people, and don't let the blood stain your skirt."
"Yeah." Lizzie got out of the car quickly in two steps.
She couldn't wait even a second.
From childhood to adulthood, she had been the darling of both the Fu and Li families. For over twenty years, her brother Cheng Yun had treated her with even greater tenderness and doted on her. He had never ignored her like this.
It’s all because of this vixen!
Lizi rushed into the Fu family villa with several strong bodyguards.
Fu Chengyun's bodyguard knew the eldest daughter of the Li family. Seeing her angry look, he tactfully stepped aside, fearing that he would be implicated in the disaster.
With a "bang", the door on the first floor was kicked open.
"Ning Che! Get out here!"
