Chapter 178 (Big Brother x Fu) Only fools take it seriously.
The balcony is long and connects to the banquet hall, with casual sofas placed in the aisle.
Li Xiao sat down and gestured to the sofa opposite her.
Fu Yingshi slowly sat down, her heart filled with trepidation.
She didn't speak, she just sat quietly.
Li Xiao glanced at her downcast eyes, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lit it.
The slowly exhaled smoke subtly obscured his narrow eyes, making them appear even more profound.
He looked at her.
"Do you remember what happened last time?"
Fu Yingshi's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks gradually flushed.
It's embarrassing, it's regretful, I don't want to face the version of myself that took the initiative that night.
But thinking of the question he asked on the island, his face turned somewhat pale.
"What is it that Young Master Li is asking about?" she asked, feigning ignorance.
The wind blew in from his direction, and smoke billowed in his face. "Cough, cough."
She raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose.
Li Xiao's gaze fell on her slightly furrowed brows. He leaned forward and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
He sat back down and looked at her, saying, "Aside from what happened in bed, there hasn't been much else going on between us."
Fu Yingshi's fingernails dug into her palm. "What is Young Master Li trying to say?"
"You like me a lot, am I remembering correctly?"
"And then?" she asked softly, her gaze lowered, avoiding eye contact.
Li Xiao's gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes as domineering as his words, "I'll let you do what you like."
Fu Yingshi realized once again that she and Li Xiao were really too different; she couldn't even understand what he was saying.
"Why are you bringing this up?" Just thinking about that night makes it hard for her to let go. She wishes none of it had ever happened and doesn't want to become a laughingstock.
Her expression was cold, and her words revealed an unwillingness to discuss the matter.
It seems that that night was just that night, and the words spoken that night remained only in that night.
Only a fool would take it seriously.
Li Xiao gave her a deep look, then stood up and left, decisively and cleanly.
Fu Yingshi sat there watching his departing figure, feeling a strange sense of unease.
He made her very confused.
What exactly did he want to say when he called me here?
And why did they leave without a word?
Feeling inexplicably wronged, her nose tingled with tears. She looked up at the distant night sky and blinked frantically.
When they returned to the banquet hall, they never saw that figure again.
She lowered her eyes, ignoring the sense of loss in her heart.
People only forget about random thoughts when they are busy with work.
She threw herself into her work, living a rhythmic commuting life, being driven around, and living in the old house.
Richard remained a thorn in her side, regardless of whether he had left or not.
Xing Jun invited her to dinner, using their elementary school friendship as a pretext to hint at getting to know each other better.
She readily made it clear that she had no romantic feelings for him.
Xing Jun generously replied: "We're both heirs to our families, and as young people, it's good to have more friends and support each other's growth. Besides, we get along well. The chances of an adult finding friendship are even slimmer than finding love."
Fu Yingshi smiled, perhaps.
After get off work, Xing Jun picked her up at the company entrance.
They teased her about traveling incognito.
It's always easy to relax when chatting with him. Even though she knows he has that kind of interest, she doesn't feel pressured because she can easily control the situation.
As I took the elevator upstairs, the elevator doors slowly opened.
Her gaze froze, her steps stiffened, and she walked out with her head down.
"Young Master Li is eating here too? Please." Xing Jun greeted the two with a smile, reached out to press the door open button, and stepped aside to let them pass.
Li Xiao glanced at the two of them briefly before looking away and entering the elevator.
He Xinbai raised an eyebrow and smiled, following behind.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, he immediately looked at Li Xiao. "What's going on? Doesn't that girl like you? Last time I saw her get so nervous and flustered when she got close to you, she didn't seem to be faking it."
Li Xiao ignored him, put his hands in his pockets, and stood at an angle.
“Last time I took Zhixian and Zhiyun back to rest, and you saw them off, but you didn’t come back all night. What were you doing?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Li Xiao looked at him, but still didn't say anything.
He Xinbai grinned wickedly, "Could it be that your skills were so bad that others immediately gave in?"
Li Xiao's lips curled slightly, and he looked at him domineeringly, but said, "Impossible."
A person may lie, but the body's reactions do not lie.
He Xinbai laughed heartily, "You fledgling, you're quite confident, who gave you the courage?"
Li Xiao stared at him intently, "Don't believe me? Try it."
He Xinbai took a step back, his smile vanishing instantly. "Damn, are you sick in the head? You're not bisexual, are you?"
Li Xiao ignored him and stepped out of the elevator.
He Xinbai chased after him, "Otherwise, I can't figure it out. Apart from this reason, where did you lose to that hothead just now?"
Li Xiao's narrow eyes were somewhat cold. "Just a one-night stand, never done it before?"
He Xinbai was stunned for a moment, "Holy crap, bro, you're so cool."
Fu Yingshi finished her meal absentmindedly. When she came out, she subconsciously looked to the side, but saw nothing.
The next day at work, I was restless and kept checking the calendar, only to find that I was already a week overdue.
Feeling anxious and uneasy, I couldn't concentrate on work at all.
I took a day off and went to the hospital.
Holding the medical report in her hand, her hand trembled uncontrollably.
How could that be? She clearly took her medicine.
How could she possibly get pregnant again?
What to do, what to do?
He walked along dejectedly, when the order slip was snatched from his hand.
She looked up abruptly, her eyes widening. "You... why haven't you left yet!"
Although Richard's Chinese is not very good, he can understand the images on the form and recognize the words 'early pregnancy'.
“Shi, tell me, it’s fake.” He looked at Fu Yingshi in disbelief, his blue eyes filled with sorrow and anger. He stepped forward and grabbed her arm tightly. “How could you be pregnant? You’re mine! How could you have sex with someone else? How could you be carrying someone else’s child?”
Fu Yingshi struggled to break free from his grasp, shouting, "Let me go, you madman!"
Richard shook his head, muttering painfully and regretfully, his voice growing louder and louder, "I will never let you go again. The price of letting you go is losing you. Come back to China with me, get rid of this bastard, and I will forgive you."
He was quite strong; he grabbed her arm and pulled her away, his eyes obsessive and cold.
The hospital was bustling with people, and the commotion caused by the two attracted many onlookers.
Fu Yingshi felt a chill run down her spine, and she desperately tried to control her body.
However, she was no match for the strength of an adult man and was dragged along, so she could only try to save herself.
She bit down hard on the hand that was holding her, using all her strength.
"Slap." Richard instinctively pulled his hand away and slapped her across the face.
The force on Fu Yingshi loosened, and she was slapped again. She lost control and fell to the ground.
Richard rushed forward, looking at her pitifully and apologizing, wanting to see her slapped face. "Poem, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Let's go back."
The crowd gasped in surprise, but seeing the man's earnest apology, no one stepped forward to help.
Fu Yingshi desperately pushed his hand away, "Get away!"
Despite her resistance, Richard restrained her hands.
Suddenly, someone grabbed the back of his shirt and lifted him up. Before he could even see who it was, a heavy punch landed on his face.
