Chapter 126 You don’t have to explain this!
Half a month passed in a flash.
During the past half month, Zhou Wanrong's attitude towards Gu Xiangsi remained unchanged, and her face always looked unhappy.
What was even more deliberate was that she always found various excuses to drag Jiang Xinghe and Lu Wang around Fu Sinian.
Today, Jiang Xinghe was asked to deliver a bouquet of champagne roses that had just been airlifted in, and tomorrow Lu Wang was asked to bring a customized dessert along. He delivered flowers, handed over gifts, and started conversations. He used all kinds of tricks to make his presence felt, and he used them almost every time.
It's obvious that I disagree with both of them.
Fu Sinian did not show any emotion because of Zhou Wanrong's actions, but the atmosphere in the entire president's office was as if the mute button was pressed, and everyone was trembling with fear.
The gossip in the office had already spread quietly.
Everyone knows that the president has feelings for his assistant, but his mother doesn't agree.
Because of this, no one dared to enter the president's office easily, and all matters, whether important or not, were pushed to Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao sighed and complained about his miserable life, but he had no choice but to act as a mouthpiece.
Fu Sinian simply expressed his attitude towards Zhou Wanrong's small actions through his actions.
Whatever Jiang Xinghe and Lu Wang sent him, he would always pick out the better and more thoughtful ones and give them all to Gu Xiangsi.
After a while, the second floor of Gu Xiangsi's villa was filled with all kinds of rare things.
When Li Xiaoyao came in again, he was holding an old-fashioned engagement letter in his hand, with his fingertips slightly curled.
He paused for two seconds, then walked towards Fu Sinian's desk.
"What's wrong?" Fu Sinian raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the yellowed post.
"It was sent by Doctor Lu." Li Xiaoyao handed over the engagement letter.
When Fu Sinian opened it, his originally calm eyes instantly turned cold, and his knuckles unconsciously clenched the edge of the paper.
"So, what does he want to do?"
Zhou Wanrong on the opposite side had just heard the words "Geng Tie" and had already walked over quickly. She glanced at the words on the post and said softly.
"It turned out to be a child marriage."
As soon as Gu Xiangsi pushed open the door, the voice from inside floated into her ears. She paused and subconsciously stood there in a daze.
Looking up at the desk, the man's face was as gloomy as if covered with ink. It was obvious that something had happened again.
She walked forward and asked softly, "What's wrong, Mr. Fu?"
Fu Sinian did not answer directly. Instead, he looked up at her, with the engagement letter still between his fingertips, and his tone carried an indescribable meaning.
"My girlfriend..." He paused, emphasizing the last half of the sentence, "The person I was supposed to be engaged to as a child has come to my house. Assistant Gu, what do you think I should do?"
Zhou Wanrong stood aside with her arms folded, apparently thinking the matter was not big enough, and spoke slowly.
"Yes, Assistant Gu, you've been pregnant since childhood, and now you're dating your boss. If this gets out, it's a bit unreasonable, right?"
Before he could finish his words, Fu Sinian's gaze fell on her, his tone a little helpless.
"Mom, are you so happy now?"
Fu Sinian felt a little miserable.
"If your son remains single for the rest of his life because of this, you can forget about having grandchildren."
"How can you be so stubborn, kid!"
Zhou Wanrong was hit right in the heart, angry and anxious. She stomped her feet, walked to the sofa and sat down, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a big gulp, her chest still heaving.
Gu Xiangsi first glanced at the angry Zhou Wanrong, then turned her gaze back to Fu Sinian, looking straight into his eyes.
She herself didn't even know about this child marriage arrangement and just thought it was a joking agreement made by her elders.
The engagement letter was still on the table, but Fu Sinian was not in a hurry to deal with it. His eyes were only on Gu Xiangsi's face.
"How about I call Dr. Lu over and we return this engagement letter together?"
"I'll go with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Sinian stood up, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair, held the engagement letter in one hand, and grabbed Gu Xiangsi's wrist with the other hand and walked out.
When he reached the door, he turned back and added to Zhou Wanrong, "Mom, if you keep making such a fuss, your son will not only remain a bachelor for the rest of his life, but his illness will never be cured."
The door slammed shut, leaving Li Xiaoyao and Zhou Wanrong looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhou Wanrong felt a tightness in her chest after hearing these words, and she opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Spring Moon is a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant located in the Peninsula Hong Kong Hotel, offering a luxurious and private environment.
When Lu Wang pushed the door open, his eyes first fell on the two people sitting at the tea table. Fu Sinian was lowering his head slightly, gently stroking the back of Gu Xiangsi's hand with his fingertips. His movements were so intimate that even the cold and hard aura around him softened a little.
He paused for half a second, quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes, put on a perfectly appropriate smile on his face, and spoke softly.
"Ms. Gu, Mr. Fu."
Fu Sinian then slowly raised his eyes, glanced at him, and without saying much, just raised his chin slightly, motioning him to sit in the empty seat opposite.
Gu Xiangsi, who was standing by, naturally picked up the celadon teapot on the table, tilted his wrist slightly, and the warm tea slowly poured into the spout.
She gently pushed the filled glass of water in front of Lu Wang and said, "I'm so sorry, Doctor Lu, to trouble you to come here at this time."
Lu Wang smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's okay. I guess you're here for the Engagement Letter, right?"
Gu Xiangsi nodded slightly and reached into her bag to take out a birth certificate, which she had found in a box her father had left for her half an hour ago.
"Well, I really didn't know that we were engaged since childhood."
Hearing this, Lu Wang nodded again: "I understand."
He paused and turned his gaze to Fu Sinian, "Can I speak to Mr. Fu alone for a few words?"
Fu Sinian's gaze lingered briefly between Lu Wang and Gu Xiangsi, then he looked at Lu Wang, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
He patted Gu Xiangsi's hand gently and said, "Go to the balcony outside to enjoy the scenery. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him."
Gu Xiangsi looked at Fu Sinian hesitantly, then at Lu Wang, and finally stood up and walked towards the balcony.
Lu Wang glanced at Fu Sinian with amusement, said nothing, and just waited quietly for Gu Xiangsi to leave.
"Boss Fu, don't you have any confidence in yourself?"
After a moment's silence, it was Lu Wang who broke the deadlock first, with a tentative tone that was a hint of a smile.
Fu Sinian raised his eyes, eyebrows slightly raised, and said with an imperceptible coldness: "Do you think I am not confident because I came here today? I just..."
His eyes fell on the woman on the balcony, and his tone softened unconsciously.
"I just don't want to embarrass her. Ahri... is kind-hearted."
He averted his gaze, "If it were my method, I could have been more coercive, but I didn't want her to be caught in the middle and feel uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wang nodded slowly, his expression becoming a little more serious, and he stopped beating around the bush.
"I can return this invitation, but Mr. Fu, I hope you can treat her well."
"You don't need to explain this."
