"Darling..."
Shen Yaoyao sat on the ground, her face full of disbelief. However, Young Master Ye was thoroughly disgusted with her and didn't even want to look at her again. He turned and went upstairs, ordering her not to follow. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
She was so angry she almost bit her teeth to pieces!
Shen Qingqing!
She was so furious that she didn't sleep all night. As soon as dawn broke the next day, she immediately went to Ruisi Group. However, she was still mindful of her appearance and wore a mask.
When she reached the front desk, she was naturally stopped. She asked the receptionist to inform Fu Jingshu, but she didn't hold out much hope. She had even prepared herself.
If he refused to see her, she would cause a scene at the company entrance!
To her surprise, after the receptionist hung up the phone, she told Shen Yaoyao that Master Fu wanted her to go up.
Shen Yaoyao, filled with anger, rushed upstairs to Fu Jingshu's office. As soon as she entered, before she could say anything, tears began to fall.
"Jingshu..."
This single word was uttered with a thousand turns and gentle tenderness.
Fu Jingshu's gaze fell upon her without any emotion, as if he were looking at a stranger. "Is there something?"
Shen Yaoyao's heart turned cold. "Jingshu, yesterday Shen Qingqing suddenly found me and beat me up. Look at my face, you'll know how ruthless this woman is!"
She took off her mask, revealing a face so bruised and swollen it was unrecognizable.
Fu Jingshu was silent for a moment, then slowly averted his eyes. Her face was truly difficult to look at.
"See? Don't you believe me now?" Shen Yaoyao's eyes were swollen from crying, and her vision was almost blurred, yet the tears wouldn't stop. "I'm her sister, and she treated me like this. Jingshu, she's a heartless and cruel woman! She's using you to get ahead, you need to open your eyes!"
"You misunderstood."
"...What?" Her crying paused.
"Yesterday, she was with me the whole time," Fu Jingshu casually dropped a bombshell. "How could she have gone to beat you?"
"With you, all the time?"
In an instant, Shen Yaoyao's face contorted.
She was certain that the person was Shen Qingqing. Besides her, no one else hated her so much.
But Fu Jingshu, who always detested lies, was actually lying for Shen Qingqing?!
Fu Jingshu turned his eyes away, finding her face even more unbearable to look at. "You should investigate clearly who beat you. Without evidence, don't come here and make a scene."
"Why, why is this happening..." Shen Yaoyao couldn't understand, nor was she willing to accept that after accompanying him for so long, he was completely unmoved. "Why are you so good to her?"
Even willing to lie for her!
A terrible suspicion surfaced in her mind: could he have already... fallen in love with her?
She questioned him hysterically, but Fu Jingshu's expression remained unchanged. "What does it have to do with you?"
This single sentence shattered Shen Yaoyao's heart. She couldn't ask anything more and was engulfed by shame. She finally realized that coming here today was simply seeking humiliation.
When she finally left, her steps were unsteady.
Even if she knew they weren't together last night, what about other times?
That bitch Shen Qingqing would do anything to get ahead. Maybe, maybe they... The thought drove her mad!
Her mind was filled with images of Fu Jingshu and Shen Qingqing together, intimate, tender, and ambiguous.
Her expression was terrifying, like a madwoman. Passersby saw her and quickly moved away.
...
Shen Qingqing was drawing in her studio when the landline on her desk rang. It was an office call from Fu Jingshu. She had to put down her pen and go to him.
As soon as she entered the office, she was met with Fu Jingshu's sharp gaze. She paused and nonchalantly asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Jingshu slowly said, "Don't do such reckless things in the future."
"What did I do?"
Shen Qingqing looked confused.
Fu Jingshu narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending not to hear. "I will handle anything that comes up."
Shen Qingqing blinked her eyes, propped her hands on the desk, and shamelessly displayed her décolletage. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
The expanse of white involuntarily drew Fu Jingshu's gaze away. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not blaming you."
So, there was no need to deny it.
Shen Qingqing's eyes flickered. She deliberately asked, "Master Fu, why are you speaking so cryptically? If you have something to say, just say it directly. I don't understand this roundabout way of speaking."
Fu Jingshu looked at her intently. "You really don't understand?"
She shook her head.
Fu Jingshu lowered his gaze. "In short, just remember what I said. I know you're not happy, and it's normal to want to vent your anger."
Shen Qingqing pouted. "So?"
"Nothing," Fu Jingshu suddenly changed the subject. "In a couple of days, it's Grandma's birthday banquet. Prepare yourself."
He wanted her to go with him?
Shen Qingqing pretended not to know. "Your grandmother's birthday banquet, what should I prepare?"
Fu Jingshu looked at her without speaking.
Whether it was an illusion or not, there was a hint of helplessness and a trace of indulgence in his eyes. Shen Qingqing suspected she had misread and looked again, but found nothing.
"Accompany me."
This time, he spoke more directly.
Shen Qingqing blinked her eyes, pulled over a chair, and slowly sat down, looking at him inquisitively. "Why do you want me to go? After all, this is your Fu family's banquet. It might not be appropriate for me to go."
"If I say you can go, then you can."
With him there, no one would dare question her identity.
Shen Qingqing was not satisfied with this answer. "But what identity should I use to attend?"
The depths of Fu Jingshu's gaze subtly shifted, the deepness disappearing and instead revealing a hint of genuine emotion. "I thought with your intelligence, you would have guessed."
"I can't guess," Shen Qingqing shook her head decisively.
"I want you to stand by my side legitimately." Fu Jingshu was still reserved and couldn't speak too directly, but his words carried an undeniable dominance.
Shen Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. She turned her face away as if to hide it. "What if I don't agree?"
"Then you'll be a guest at the banquet." For a fleeting moment, Fu Jingshu seemed like a caged beast, someone who had never been defied.
But looking at her charming face, he suppressed it.
Shen Qingqing's lips curved upwards. She feigned distress. "But I don't have a suitable evening gown."
Fu Jingshu's lips curved upwards, and he immediately said, "I'll go shopping with you."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Fu."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. However, the bright smile on her face never faded. Her mood was exceptionally good for the entire afternoon.
When it was time to get off work, Fu Jingshu didn't work overtime. He left on time, which was unusual, making Lin Mo exclaim in wonder. Only when he saw him leave with Shen Qingqing did he reveal a knowing, gossipy smile.
So, they were going on a date!
