Chu Mengyao looked up and saw that Fu Yi was still holding a video conference with Zhou Sichen. It seemed that there was a problem that was hard to resolve, and the two of them had been discussing it since the beginning. She looked at the bookcase in her study and tried to find a book to pass the time.
There was a set of photos in the bookshelf, all of them belonging to Fu Yi when he was young. Chu Mengyao looked at it with interest, she never thought that Fu Yi would be so handsome when he was young, it was just a piece of fresh meat!
She saw a group photo of a few boys around the age of ten. Judging from the way he was sweating, she guessed that he had just finished the match. The little boys were all wearing football uniforms, while Fu Yi stood in the middle with his feet on the soccer ball, looking very energetic.
”What are you looking at?” After finishing the video conference, Fu Yi walked to Chu Mengyao's side.
Chu Mengyao pointed to the picture in his hand, ”I'm looking at the picture of you when you were young!”
Fu Yi embraced her waist from behind and placed his chin on her shoulder.
Chu Mengyao pointed to one of the people in the picture, ”He is?” For some reason, she felt that this person looked very familiar.
”It wasn't me.” Fu Yi did not directly answer her question.
She glanced back at him. ”Of course I know it's not you. Who is he?”
Fu Yi raised his eyebrows, and intentionally teased, ”Do you think it's appropriate to ask another man's name in front of your own husband, Chu Mengyao?”
When he said the word 'husband', her face immediately turned red. She coquettishly said, ”If you don't want to say it, then forget it.” After a pause, she said, ”I just feel that he looks very familiar, as if he is someone I know.”
”Familiar? Know him? ”Who is that person?” Fu Yi asked.
”It's Xiaoyiran from the Hundred Group, his company is cooperating with us.” Chu Mengyao said.
Fu Yi said indifferently, ”He is not only someone who looks like Xiaoyiran,” as he wrapped his arm around her waist, ”he is indeed Xiaoyiran.”
Chu Mengyao was shocked, ”You two know each other?”
”Not only do we know each other, our relationship is not bad.” Fu Yi chuckled.
Thinking about the matter between Ai Ting and him, Chu Mengyao curiously asked, ”What kind of person is he?” Then, thinking back to what happened in front of the roast duck restaurant, she asked hesitantly, ”Is his relationship with his wife good?”
Fu Yi frowned, looked at her, and unhappily asked: ”Why do you pay so much attention to him, and fancy him?”
Seeing that he was obviously jealous, Chu Mengyao immediately laughed.
”You're still laughing?” He hugged her waist tightly and leaned on her ear with his lips. ”Xiaoyiran won't like someone like you …”
”Am I that ugly?” Chu Mengyao intentionally swiped her hand across her face and followed what he said.
Fu Yi seriously sized him up and intentionally pretended to be fierce, ”You are asking for a lesson now.”
Hearing the word 'clean' in his words, she couldn't help but think back to last night. He had beaten her to the point where she didn't even have the strength to lift her arms.
He gently caressed her belly and teased, ”Now that you have my child, how dare you think about other men? You've been getting bolder and bolder lately, Chu Mengyao. ”
He kissed her on the lips. She was fascinated by the faint smell of tobacco, and it was only after the two of them had kissed that he moved away from her lips.
Seeing her slightly red and swollen lips and her blurry eyes, the corner of his lips curled up into a faint smile, ”But, even if you have any thoughts, does that mean Xiaoyiran doesn't dare to do anything?”
”What do you mean?” Chu Mengyao's brain was still in its initial stage and she did not manage to react.
”He knows your relationship with me. He doesn't dare to take my woman.”
Hearing his words, Chu Mengyao many things finally came to her senses. Back then in City H, when they were sitting in an elevator, Xiaoyiran pretended not to know him.
She seemed to have thought of something and probed, ”Could it be that when Xiaoyiran agreed to cooperate with us, it was because of you?” Previously, she had always thought that it was because of the relationship between Ai Ting and Xiaoyiran, but now, it didn't seem that simple. Furthermore, Xiaoyiran had specified that she should be the one in charge of this project. From the looks of it now, it seemed that...
Fu Yi did not deny her, and only stroked her hair.
”How did you remember to help me?” Back then, when Chu's and Xiaoyiran were discussing cooperation, and when Chu's was at its most difficult moment, to be able to reach an agreement with Xiaoyiran's Hundred Great Group at that time, made her feel even more confident. And at that time, she and Fu Yi only had a good impression of each other.
Fu Yi lifted his head and looked at her, but didn't say a word. At that time, Zhou Sichen had discussed with him about whether or not to invest in Chu's, so he was initially very hesitant. However, when he saw her in the hotel for the sake of the contract, hugging him after he got drunk and crying, his mood became especially bad. At that time, he wanted to help her.
His initial thought was very simple. He just didn't want her to work so hard and get nothing to invest in. He didn't want her to compromise with the unwritten rules.
”I wonder if I know how you persuaded Xiaoyiran, how could he listen to you so easily, and cooperate with me?” Chu Mengyao was puzzled. The investment for this project was hundreds of millions of dollars, and that land was very close to the cemetery. If it was developed, it would face a lot of problems.
