Chapter 12 Giving Fu Jinzhi a Green Hat
The couple had a heart-to-heart talk, and then it was time for dinner.
This time, Fu Yan finally had the chance to have dinner at the same table as Wen Yao, and was stunned by her appetite.
How could someone with such a small frame eat a whole braised pork knuckle, at least seven or eight cola chicken wings on a small plate, three bowls of rice, and a bowl of fruit salad?
"Wen Yao, is it really okay for you to eat like this?"
As an artist (although she is no different from an ordinary person), Fu Yan eats very little every day in order to maintain her figure, and only has one indulgent meal a week where she can eat a little of what she likes.
Now, she was stuffing her vegetable salad with a bitter taste, watching Wen Yao, who was eating heartily but still had a slim waist, and she felt the unevenness of the world.
"What's the problem?" Wen Yao reluctantly pulled her face out of her rice bowl, looking at Fu Yan with a guilty expression.
"It's alright, your brother can afford the meal. He even said today that he has enough money to support me for three lifetimes."
"Who said that?" Fu Yan rolled her eyes in a very unladylike manner. How much did that meal cost? One of her bags could feed Wen Yao for months.
"I mean, the stuff you're eating is thicker than your waist! How did you even manage to stuff it all in your stomach? That's just not scientifically possible!"
"Huh?" Wen Yao looked down at her stomach, which was still flat despite eating so much. She belatedly realized that something was wrong.
[That host, I've never actually had a chance to tell you.]
[I am a newly appointed system. There is an adjustment period during initial activation, requiring the host to supply a large amount of energy, which can only be replenished through eating or sleeping. That is why you can eat so much.]
"Why didn't you mention this before?" Wen Yao didn't think it was a big deal; in fact, she thought it was a good thing.
How many people can eat whatever they want like her without getting full or gaining weight? People would be so envious if they knew!
"You didn't even ask!" 8848 replied matter-of-factly.
"..." Wen Yao was speechless. Seeing that Fu Yan was still looking at her, she smiled awkwardly, "You know, I faked my pregnancy before."
"Maybe I was so good at pretending that I fooled my body, making it think that there were still two people draining it, haha..."
That's not wrong, a system's son is still a son.
Does she think she's a three-year-old? Fu Yan pouted, "Then your appetite is at least that of triplets."
"Speaking of which, what are you going to do about your fake pregnancy? I didn't tell anyone."
"I'll just find an opportunity to confess." Wen Yao was resigned to her fate. Things were alright now, but if her belly didn't show after a while, she wouldn't be able to hide it anymore.
It's better to lay our cards on the table; at worst, Wen's father will break one of our legs.
...
You can put other worries aside.
Remembering the cuckolding quest she had triggered, Wen Yao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"8848, you will trigger the mission." I just wanted you to be my son, but you always want me to die.
[Host, don't be so cynical. We're in this together now; if you die, I'll have to go back to headquarters to be punished.]
[I've done my best. The mission from the world's consciousness is for you to cheat on your partner.]
I've broadened the meaning of "green hat" (cuckoldry), you should be happier.
Whether it's a cuckolding emotionally or physically, it would surely anger Fu Jinzhi.
In the sweltering summer heat, simply giving someone a green hat (a symbol of infidelity) is bound to make people overthink things.
Lying in bed at night, Wen Yao was filled with worry.
"8848, I'm so nervous I can't even eat properly..."
After thinking about her appetite, Wen Yao lowered her voice and changed her words, "I'm so nervous I can't sleep."
8848 felt that his own lack of skill was also a reason for this task, and he patiently comforted Wen Yao.
Relax, it's a matter of knowing when to stick your neck out and when to back down.
I've requested the mission assistance tools from headquarters, and they should be ready in the next couple of days.
By then, you'll know everyone Wen Yao knew, making missions much easier...
"Huff~ Huff~"
8848 had only spoken half a sentence when a faint snoring sound was heard.
Wen Yao, who had just said she was too nervous to sleep, fell asleep instantly, in less than two minutes.
8848: [...]
Damn it! If you still believe Wen Yao's nonsense, you're no better than a human being!
The next day, Wen Yao woke up early, feeling refreshed, and went to the mall to buy a green hat.
So you can't judge a book by its cover. Wen Yao may seem unreliable, but she's actually a woman of action.
"You have great taste! This hat is a popular style online, the cut is great and it makes your skin look fairer. It was sold out before."
The salesperson was beaming, practically praising Wen Yao to the skies; God knows how long this green hat had been sitting unsold.
Aside from the initial sales driven by online influencers, none of the products sold out after the hype died down.
Now we finally have a buyer!
Amid the salesperson's praise, Wen Yao went home with the packaged hat.
She was surprised to find that Fu Jinzhi was still at home. She glanced down at her phone; it was ten o'clock.
"Mr. Fu, why didn't you go to work?"
"Don't worry, I won't go bankrupt even if I don't go to work." Fu Jinzhi rubbed his temples, his face a little pale. He had insomnia again last night and only managed to fall asleep at 5 o'clock.
Insomnia and stomach problems are common ailments in CEO romance novels, and usually only the female lead can alleviate them for the CEO.
Looking at Fu Jinzhi's handsome face, as white as plum blossoms covered in snow, Wen Yao felt a little worried. If she didn't let him date the female lead, who would cure his "CEO syndrome"? More importantly—
Fu Jinzhi doesn't go to work, so how did she secretly deliver the green hat to his room?
Wen Yao was overthinking it. Fu Jinzhi was a dedicated and hardworking CEO. He ate a little something and went to the company.
Fearing that things might get complicated, Wen Yao slipped into Fu Jin's room as soon as he left.
Fu Jinzhi's room is very modern, with a simple black, white, and gray color scheme. The light is excellent, giving the room a clean and open feel.
But Wen Yao had no time to appreciate it. She nervously searched around, trying to find a secluded place where she could hide the green hat.
"Let's hide it under the bed. Fu Jinzhi definitely wouldn't do something like crawling under the bed." Wen Yao's eyes gradually hardened.
Anyway, the Fu family has someone cleaning every day. By the time the maid finds it tomorrow, Fu Jinzhi will definitely be at work. She can then take it from the maid and destroy the evidence.
She bent over and lay face down on the cold floor, her knees aching from the hard surface.
Fu Jinzhi's bed board was too low; only his head could barely fit in, and his body couldn't squeeze in at all.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Fu Jinzhi entered the room, he saw Wen Yao kneeling in front of his bed with her head bowed low.
To be honest, this pose makes her waist look slim and her hips look great.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, a playful glint in his handsome peach blossom eyes. What was he up to now?
"Thump!"
Startled by the sudden noise, Wen Yao looked up sharply and hit her head on the bed, feeling a sharp pain that made her dizzy and disoriented.
The 8848 that had taken up residence in her mind was also hit hard, emitting crackling electrical sounds.
"You, how did you get back, honey?" Wen Yao was still holding the packaging box in her hand, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
Fu Jinzhi's smile was cool. Wen Yao probably didn't notice that she usually called him President Fu or Fu Jinzhi, and only called him husband when she got into trouble or needed his help.
It's as if they were born knowing how to seek advantage and avoid harm, and how to please others.
"Is this a surprise for me? Let me see it." Fu Jinzhi's gaze shifted to the box in Wen Yao's hand.
ah? !
Wen Yao felt that the green hat in her hand was hotter than burning charcoal.
