Chapter 4: Bedside Quarrel
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Li Zi clutched Fu Chengyun's arm tightly, tears welling in her eyes. Fu Ting walked up to her with a stern face, pulling her away, whispering something.
The superficial joy was about to burst, and the sound of whispers gradually became apparent. The crisp sound of shutter clicks echoed through the garden outside the door. The flash of light illuminated the slightly dim living room as if it were daylight.
Fu Chengyun looked at Fu Chen’s expression first.
Instead of the rage he had imagined, Fu Chen looked back expressionlessly. The moment their eyes met, Fu Chen smiled the kind smile of an old father.
Oh no! Alarm bells rang in Fu Chengyun's mind.
The old guy has a backup plan!
"Great, great! This is a big happy event for our Fu family!" Fu Chen walked in front of the media, "Cheng Yun is going to be a father, I am so happy."
The smile was kind, exactly the same as Fu Chengyun's fake smile.
"But Chengyun has to take care of the family and the company in the future. I'm afraid his body can't handle it." He patted Fu Chengyun's shoulder like a kind father.
"How about this, I'll let Lin Yu learn to handle the company's affairs. It can also help relieve some of my brother's worries!"
Fu Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief.
That idiot Lin Yu can't learn anything except following his mother and being sarcastic.
Expecting him to run the company is like expecting a sow to climb a tree.
He followed suit, pretending to be a filial son, and stared back at Fu Chen without dodging. "Thank you, Dad, for thinking of me. You have to come to our wedding in a few days."
The father and son smiled at each other in front of the media. Their eyes were very similar, but each had their own thoughts.
The power of the media cannot be underestimated. No matter what hidden meanings are hidden, once they are spread out, they are fixed and can never be changed.
Immediately, the media published an article titled "Fu's eldest son's fiancée outshines his childhood sweetheart, while Li's daughter mourns the loss of her beloved!"
Although it's a bit melodramatic, this is the effect Fu Chengyun wants.
His mother's short and bleak life was like a brand, imprinted on his heart. Every time he recalled it, he felt a burning pain in his heart.
Fu Chengyun is willing to take every step carefully and spend his entire life in exchange for his mother's dying wish.
Mom, did you see that? Today is my first battle to get rid of Fu Chen.
The situation was settled, and Fu Chen decided to call it a day. After greeting the guests, he left the mansion.
The guests dispersed, and Lizi was dragged into the car by Fu Ting. The curtains were drawn again by the servants, tightly shut. The large living room was completely dark.
Ning Che was still sitting at the dessert table, looking sideways at Fu Chengyun who was reclining on the sofa.
The gentle smile on that face was gone, and the jawline was sharp and distinct.
Fu Chengyun pressed his brows with his knuckles, closed his eyes slightly, pulled his tie loose, and looked depressed and anxious.
Ning Che was frightened by the long guns and cannons just now, sparks and lightning flew everywhere.
If Fu Chengyun hadn't comforted him silently, he would have rushed out and grabbed the thinnest one and beat him up.
Ning Che's sudden panic and prolonged lack of food worsened his discomfort. He had intended to ask for the antidote, but seeing Fu Chengyun's frosted expression, he abruptly changed his tone.
"Don't trust the straight-forward, but beware of the unkind."
Fu Chengyun was stunned for a few seconds, then looked up at him with some surprise. "Are you comforting me?"
Ning Che walked up to him and smiled contemptuously.
"You also see that Fu Chen wants to cultivate Lin Yu to suppress me?" Fu Chengyun followed Ning Che out like a fish on the hook.
Ning retreated and said nothing more.
The Demon Cult had been engaged in deceit and deception for over a decade, and this little trick wasn't enough to fill his gaps. It wasn't difficult to see through Fu Chen's thoughts, but asking a dignified master to condescend to teach a medicine man!
Or he was the one who poisoned himself!
The second time!
It’s harder than climbing to the sky!
I regret saying anything more now.
Ning Che walked straight forward and fell headfirst against the door as soon as he got into the car.
The alien race's territory is full of strange things. He doesn't recognize any place and doesn't understand anything. Everything is incompatible with him.
He has no relatives and is all alone, yet he is forced to help this villain who poisoned him!
A huge feeling of loneliness came over him, and the man who had been in high spirits just now, teasing the little girl and giving her some mysterious advice, suddenly became listless.
Dizziness, hunger, weakness, hunger, confusion, and a very hungry stomach...
Ning Che closed his eyes and allowed himself to sink into the deep pool of despair.
Suddenly, a sweet fragrance invaded my nose, not like the cedar scent on that person, nor like the faint rose scent.
A bony hand appeared before my eyes, and in its palm was a piece of strawberry cake.
Ning Che subconsciously reached out to take it, but his fingers moved slightly before he paused. He looked straight at Fu Chengyun.
Fu Chengyun forced a smile and said, "The matter is not over yet. I won't poison you."
Ning Che took the cake and spoon, took a big bite and put it into his mouth.
The sweetness and smoothness instantly filled his taste buds, and the unprecedented delicious experience made him forget his superiority for a moment.
Squinting his eyes, he smiled contentedly, "Delicious!"
Fu Chengyun sneered and said helplessly: "Isn't this speaking human language? The costume game is over."
Ning Che was immersed in the brand new taste experience, like a stray animal that finally had a meal. He just focused on eating and didn't listen at all.
Fu Chengyun didn't care. His move today was really dangerous. He pretended to be confident on the surface, but he was a little confused inside and urgently needed to give himself a reassurance.
Fu Chengyun began to recount everything that happened today.
"The old man's attitude clearly shows that he has guessed that everything that happened today was arranged by me."
"He must be trying to split my power. First, to suppress me for being disobedient, and second, to cultivate new puppets. If I become useless, there will be someone who can immediately replace me."
"Marriage is inevitable. As long as I make my marriage partner public, Fu Chen won't dare to place anyone else around me, and I'll be able to break free from the biggest part of his control."
"The shares I hold must also be transferred as soon as possible."
…
The car parked in the garage while Fu Chengyun was worried. Ning Che got out of the car with a small cake, got into the elevator, went upstairs, and walked into the door with ease.
Fu Chengyun clearly hadn't calmed down yet, and continued chattering behind him. "By the way, what's your name? Which company do you work for? I need someone to get a fake ID."
Ning Che paused, glanced at him with a haughty attitude. "You think you can even know my name?"
Fu Chengyun: ...
He looked displeased, and suppressed his anger as he said in a deep voice, "Once is fun, twice is joy, and three times is boring! From now on, stop this game!"
The bright eyes are dotted with ink, and the eyes are filled with an indelible darkness.
Ning Che stared at the person behind him, his face expressionless, but his voice was chilling. "Since you served me well yesterday, I'll only spare you this once."
After saying that, he went straight upstairs and slammed the door with a bang.
"Isn't that my room?"
Fu Chengyun was a man of measure and always kept his word. This was his first time being challenged, and he felt a little short of breath.
How dare he, a young model climbing into bed!
Fu Chengyun wanted to ask the security to throw him out, but if something happened now, it would definitely give Fu Chen an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In fact, this omega is not weak, and he can be a great help if he stays by your side.
He found a way out for himself and quickly left. He said calmly, "Auntie, please clean up another guest room."
Omegas in their susceptible period don’t have my pheromones, so they still have to come to me obediently.
snort!
Fu Chengyun took off his coat while trying to save face in his heart.
The sudden loud noise made everyone in the room silent. The aunt went into the kitchen tactfully, fearing that the host's anger would affect her.
The old butler was the only one left in the kitchen. He looked into the living room following the sound, and when he saw who was coming, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.
Fu Chengyun took off his coat and walked to the dining table. He saw the housekeeper holding a rag in a daze. He walked over, took the rag, threw it back into the sink, and said angrily:
"Grandpa Li, didn't I tell you not to do this kind of rough work anymore? Just take care of the accounts."
Pulling the chair in front of the old man away, Fu Chengyun sat down. This obedient look was hundreds of times more real than the fake smile in front of Fu Chen.
Butler Li chuckled dryly, sat at the dining table, and chatted with Fu Chengyun. "Why are you angry with the guests right after you got back?"
Fu Chengyun didn't want him to worry about it, so he responded, "It's a small matter."
Butler Li asked again, "I haven't seen you bring anyone home before. Who is this child?"
"If we're going to have a fake marriage, the person next to me can't also be Fu Chen's person." Fu Chengyun was completely defenseless.
"Oh, then treat her well. I think this child is good. She is beautiful and capable, and she will definitely not be bullied by your father in the future." The old housekeeper even curled up the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
Fu Chengyun felt a little strange.
The old housekeeper had taken care of herself since she was young and worked diligently, but she disliked the crowds and usually retreated to her room after work, not wanting to interact with others. Only Fu Chengyun would accompany her and chat with her when he came home. Why did he keep that hairy prickly guy in his every move today?
"How do you know he's okay?"
The old butler had accompanied him through the darkest years of his life. Fu Chengyun completely trusted him and asked directly, "Do you know him?"
"He looks kind." The old housekeeper quickly denied it. He stood up and said, "I asked him to come down for dinner."
"No need." Fu Chengyun pulled the housekeeper down and said angrily, "Just let him starve."
The housekeeper patted Fu Chengyun's shoulder and smiled kindly. "Don't say that. A couple fights at the beginning and makes up at the end of the day. How can they really be angry?"
"Who wants to be with him and his wife!" Fu Chengyun almost choked on his saliva.
The housekeeper quickly brought him a bowl of soup, patted him on the back twice in a very perfunctory manner, and went upstairs to call for help.
After Butler Li left, Fu Chengyun's brows furrowed again.
Grandpa Li is not right today.
How could my grandfather, who is always cold to others, be so warm to a stranger whose face he couldn't even see clearly?
You say good things about others without even saying a word, and you praise their kindness without even seeing their face.
Just because he's my fake marriage partner?
