Chapter 27: Refusing Yet Welcoming Is No Fun

Fu Sijue: …

Is this question even worth doubting? If he were a man, Xie Zian wouldn't be able to keep talking here.

"Fu Er, I'm saying this is a plot straight out of a dream, right? Look across Haicheng, who doesn't know your messed‑up affairs? Is there even a woman daring to chase you now? Aren't you afraid Gu Qingmeng would threaten people?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Xie Zian became mostly sober.

Gu Qingmeng's combat power is notorious within the circle; any woman who dares to get close to Fu Sijue will, the next day, surely have scandalous dirt about her spread, and it will be the kind that erupts loudly for everyone to know.

Xie Zian truly despises this behavior; everyone is out to have fun, and moreover, Gu Qingmeng can't even be considered spotless.

"I'm serious."

"Then I think you've been working too long; it's now absolutely necessary to calm down. How about you take a cold shower first, or I can call a doctor over for you."

As Fu Sijue's friend, Xie Zian still cares a lot about Fu Sijue's health.

After all, if Fu Sijue were to suddenly die from overwork, the beneficiary would be Gu Qingmeng, and Xie Zian would never allow that to happen.

A beep‑beep‑beep busy tone came from the other end, and Fu Sijue abruptly hung up, giving Xie Zian no chance to continue speaking.

After that call from Fu Sijue, Xie Zian couldn't sleep either; his mind was filled with what Fu Sijue had just said.

Again, whose girl could be so incomprehensible as to fall for Uncle Fu's iron tree? It even sounds quite bold, they've already reached the step of sending flowers.

Xie Zian quickly discovered an even more important matter: Fu Sijue actually asked him specifically because of this trivial thing! He literally wore his interest on his face.

Thanks to the unreliable friend Fu Sijue's call, Xie Zian successfully got insomnia; the next morning he rose with two huge dark circles under his eyes, looking comparable to a national‑treasure giant panda.

"Uncle Wang, do you think a man would really call in the middle of the night to harass someone over a woman he doesn't even like?" Xie Zian, half‑heartedly, bit into the toast in his hand.

He truly wanted to know what kind of woman could make an iron tree like Fu Sijue blossom.

Just thinking of Fu Sijue makes Xie Zian's heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys ache with anger.

At that time, he clearly already had a wonderful wife like Lu Xiwán, so how did Gu Qingmeng manage to tempt his heart? The result became the present predicament, and there's no further tale between him and Gu Qingmeng.

It caused a bunch of onlookers to gossip about this behind the scenes.

"Whether he likes her or not, only he knows," Uncle Wang gave an ambiguous answer, which happened to spark the confused Xie Zian.

"You make sense; I'll go find him right now and ask!"

Xie Zian left so quickly that he didn't even hear the second half of Uncle Wang's sentence.

"Sometimes even he might not feel it himself."

Xie Zian, excited, rushed to the Fu Clan and headed straight for the top‑floor CEO office.

Fu Sijue stared at the panting Xie Zian like a fool.

"A wolf chasing you?" Fu Sijue's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, he glanced at Xie Zian and then continued looking at the documents.

Xie Zian, irritated, rolled his eyes, adjusted his clothes like a flamboyant peacock, and sat opposite Fu Sijue.

"I came especially to answer your questions; could you stop speaking like that? It's really hurtful, okay?" Xie Zian casually pulled out a cigarette; Fu Sijue shot him a killing glance, and Xie Zian obediently put it away.
