Heavy rain fell from the sky, pelting Fu Chengze like a drowned dog.
It's terribly ugly.
Through the rain, he accurately determined Xu Zhaozhao's location, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Zhaozhao! I knew you'd come!"
As he spoke, he turned around towards Xu Zhaozhao, looking as if he was about to rush towards her.
"You stand still!!"
Xu Zhaozhao, quick-witted and outspoken, immediately shouted to stop his actions, freezing him in place.
The excitement in his eyes disappeared, and his face fell.
What a jerk! He's even more unpredictable than Gu Qingyan.
Xu Zhaozhao pouted and moved two steps closer to him with obvious disgust; those two steps were her bottom line.
"Spit it out if you have something to say, then get out of my way."
A hint of restlessness appeared in Xu Zhaozhao's eyes.
I hate rain the most, but I don't have time to do anything romantic in the rain with him.
Fu Chengze's face darkened further, even the gloomy night seemed to pale in comparison.
Despite the terrible weather, the man raised his chin and head as if he were about to drink the rainwater.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't understand.
"Gurgle..."
Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, rainwater rushed in and drowned out his voice.
After choking on a mouthful of rainwater and coughing for a while, Fu Chengze lowered his head in defeat, feeling even more irritated.
"Xu Zhaozhao, there are some problems with my company's accounts."
His face remained arrogant, showing no sign of begging. "Ask your dad for help. I'll marry you after I pass the test."
At least you can speak normally now, so why are you uttering such vile words?
Even the rain couldn't clean his mouth.
"hehe."
Xu Zhaozhao scoffed lightly, "You're so high and mighty. Shouldn't you kneel down when you need someone's help?"
"Xu Zhaozhao!"
Fu Chengze called her name with a stronger tone, his anger undisguised.
What's the dog barking about?
Xu Zhaozhao simply looked at him indifferently, pointed her index finger downwards at the wet floor, and curled her lips slightly.
"Kneel down and kowtow, bark like a dog three times, and I'll consider it."
"You...!" Fu Chengze was so angry that he couldn't speak. His mouth was so open that he was choked by the rain.
"Aren't you afraid I'll expose your secret?!"
What secret do I have?
Xu Zhaozhao looked at him jumping up and down, and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Does knowing that your true form is a dog count as a secret?"
"You and Gu Qingyan had a marriage of convenience, and you had a baby named Yuyu through IVF..."
Fu Chengze also held up his phone, raindrops constantly sliding down it, "I still have all the text messages you sent me during our marriage and during my pregnancy."
"Which one of these things, if exposed, wouldn't ruin your reputation?!"
Fu Chengze was so angry that he blurted out all the so-called secrets.
Xu Zhaozhao fell silent.
Those chat logs are incredibly explosive, even a fool could guess.
Seeing her darkening expression, Fu Chengze felt a strange sense of triumph.
But that pleasure lasted less than three seconds before it vanished, too fast for him to grasp.
"I can't help at all."
Xu Zhaozhao's clear voice came through the rain, tinged with indifference, "Go ahead and expose it if you want."
The problems with the accounts... are either tax evasion or embezzlement.
How can we let our own family get involved in this mess?
Exposing these things will at most tarnish her reputation.
What good is fame? It's her capital.
"Think about it, is this how you like me?"
Fu Chengze stared at her menacingly and muttered under his breath, "Bitch!"
Snap!
The sound of the rain couldn't drown out the loud slap.
Ignoring the splashing water that would dirty her skirt, Xu Zhaozhao took three steps at a time, so fast that only a blur remained when the water reached her palm.
Fu Chengze was slapped hard across the left cheek, and the rain made matters worse, leaving his face burning with pain.
My immediate instinct was to retaliate and teach her a lesson.
However, he didn't notice the foam under his feet. As soon as he started to build up his strength, the friction under his feet seemed to disappear.
She lost her balance and kept slipping, falling flat on her face.
The pointed toe of the leather shoe loosened the mud and sand on the ground, and with a splash, it landed precisely on Fu Chengze's face.
A true domineering CEO who eats dirt (meaning he's broke).
He braced himself on the ground with one hand and didn't get up for a long time, probably because he had fallen hard, but he forced himself not to show weakness in front of Xu Zhaozhao.
After all, he was already used to being assertive in front of Xu Zhaozhao.
"Sorry, I like Gu Qingyan now~"
Xu Zhaozhao lowered her eyes and looked down at him, her eyes filled with indifference.
She doesn't usually mock people, unless the person opposite her is Fu Chengze. "Know yourself, you little lapdog."
Buzz—
His ears suddenly started ringing, the world went dark, his arm stopped hurting, and the dull pain in his heart was magnified countless times.
How could that be...
She married Gu Qingyan for him; he was all she cared about.
How could I possibly refuse to help him?
How could I not like him?
How could I not like it?
...
These questions remained unanswered until Fu Chengze completely lost consciousness.
When Xu Zhaozhao returned from outside, she felt damp and sticky all over from the rain, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Madam, that person has fainted outside."
The butler followed behind her, explaining the situation.
The rain outside is getting heavier; I don't want this bad luck to die at the door.
"Deliver it to Qin Yueling's door."
Xu Zhaozhao's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "They have a deep relationship, so they definitely won't stand idly by."
The butler agreed and went out to do so.
Xu Zhaozhao took out her pajamas and went into the bathroom, took a hot shower, and had someone take away the clothes she was wearing.
She felt it was unlucky to wear the clothes she wore to see Fu Chengze.
After drying her hair, Xu Zhaozhao lay lazily on the bed.
I slept for a bit too long this afternoon and I'm not sleepy at all.
Boom...
The rumbling of thunder came from afar. Although it was far away and not very frightening, it still made Xu Zhaozhao tense up.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was starting to escalate into a thunderstorm.
I sent a message to the nanny to ask about Gu Yulin's condition, and was told that Gu Yulin had just fallen asleep.
I can't exactly wake my son up from his sleep and tell him he's afraid to sleep alone, can I?
He swallowed hard.
I took out my phone, opened the WeChat chat page, found the chat box for "Little Pig," and placed my finger on the voice call button, but didn't press it.
Gu Qingyan was already working overtime, and she disturbed him because of a rainstorm...
I took a deep breath, moved my fingers away, and placed the phone screen face down on the bed.
I won't look, I won't think, I won't be afraid...
Ding ding ding...
The phone beeped with a call invitation, and Xu Zhaozhao instinctively grabbed the phone and looked at the screen.
[“Little Pig” invites you to a video call]
