Chapter 1 (2/2)

I couldn’t help but laugh. I looked at him and said, “President Fu, are you planning to bestow upon me a passionate night to thank me for bailing Miss Su out?”

He pursed his lips, clearly displeased. “Jiang Ran, we’re husband and wife!”

I nodded and didn’t deny his claim. I merely looked at him and asked, “Are we considered husband and wife even though we are spouses on paper but not in love?”

He narrowed his eyes, clearly losing his patience. “Tell me, what do you want?”

That line of thought was pretty quick.

“Money!”

I thought about it seriously. Besides money, I couldn’t think of a better solution at that moment.

Moreover, Su Li was just drunk driving. I only went to the police station in the middle of the night. It was just a simple matter, so I couldn’t bring it up.

He shook me off disgustedly, his voice low and clear. “How much?”

“Up to President Fu!”

I opened my mouth and looked around for a car. I was in such a hurry when I came that I forgot where I parked the car.

A black card appeared in front of me. I froze for a moment and pretended to look at him in surprise.

“President Fu, did you take the wrong card?” He only had one black card, right?

If Su Li found out that I took his black card, she would tear me into pieces.

He frowned and hissed coldly, “Take it!”

His tone was filled with impatience.

I didn’t take it. I only avoided his hand and said calmly, “President Fu, if you seriously want to give me money, why don’t you transfer some money to me with your phone? I don’t want this card. My life is more important!”

Seeing the white Cadillac parked in the corner, I took out my keys and was about to leave when the man grabbed me. Before I could react, the bank card was already in my hand.

I was really confused. I narrowed my eyes and stared at him. “President Fu, you should just tell me your motive. I’ll panic if you keep acting like this!”

He suddenly gave the black card to me forcefully and said that it was fine. I didn’t believe him.

There was a hint of impatience in his dark eyes. He seemed slightly irritable. “Go with me to the Mu family’s banquet tomorrow. Make yourself presentable!”

When I heard that, I quickly kept the black card in my bag. I saw him smile with his eyes narrowed. “Alright, I promise I won’t disappoint President Fu!”

My money-grubbing attitude probably disgusted him. He got into his Bentley and left without even throwing a glance at me, leaving only dust behind.

Fu Zechen and I had a business marriage. He had his lover while I had my true-love. Although we were married, we didn’t have any feelings for each other. Of course, we would help each other occasionally.

For example, on that night, he didn’t have time for me to go to the police station in the middle of the night to bail out his lover.
