Hepeng was so frightened by Yibo’s strong aura that he dared not look up. He was so weak that he had only his last strength left to keep him from falling.
He felt he had lost control of himself, so he shook his head and then nodded. In fact, he had no idea of what he was doing.
Yibo looked down at Hepeng, “Do you know it or don’t you?”
“I don’t know… Could you please tell me…?” Hepeng was so scared.
Yibo was standing there. The sunshine outside the French window was falling on him. The halo was so thick, but it could not soften his anger.
His eyes were sharp and cold.
He did not speak, narrowing his eyes.
The atmosphere was frighteningly still, making Hepeng feel at ill.
Hepeng gritted his teeth and finally gave in. “Mr. Yibo, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have set Mrs. Wang up… But I didn’t know it was him.”
“If I had known it, I wouldn’t have come close to him. Mr. Yibo, please forgive me. I don’t dare to do it in the future. No… I won’t do it again. Please.”
“Forgive you? If you are so ignorant, it would be fine. But you are arrogant How shall I forgive you?” Yibo’s eyes were getting fierce.
Yibo said in a light tone, but in Hepeng’s ears it sounded like the sound from the hell that made him tremble.
“Mr. Yibo, I really know I’m wrong.” Hepeng begged, “I will stay far away from Mrs. Wang, and with him here, I won’t show up; with me here, and won’t be him…”
“What?” Yibo asked in a skeptical tone.
“No, no, no, Where there is Mrs. Wang, there will be no me. I will get far away.” he explained.
“You should have gone away!” Yibo sat down on a single couch nearby.
“You’re not ignorant, you’re fearless.”
“Even if you didn’t know Zhan is Mrs. Wang, you knew he is my man! And, you spoke ill of him and ruined his reputation at a cocktail party!”
“I… I… I was drunken and lost my mind…” That was the only excuse Hepeng could find.
“You did it on purpose.” Yibo’s eyes were cold. “Did you send that Hukai to the Wang family?”
“No, not me!” Hepeng head repeatedly in denial.
“Who would it be if it was not you?” Yibo suddenly looked gloomy.
“It was really not me. I don’t even know him.” Hepeng denied.
Yibo just twitched his lips and glanced at Fanxing, who had been waiting by.
Fanxing had been with Yibo for years, and he knew exactly what the Boss meant.
Fanxing made a call, “Is that one there yet? Bring him in.”
As soon as he hung up the phone, a black-clad bodyguard took a man in and then left.
The man gave in and fell at Fanxing’s feet, “Mr. Yibo, I don’t know anything. It’s not me, not me.”
“See who is in front of you.” Fanxing backed away so that Cruz could have a better look at Yibo in the back.
Yibo bent his head slightly, looking at his long fingers, which were smooth and graceful. He sat there perfectly fine like a cold statue.
Hukai looked up carefully, glanced at Yibo, and then lowered his eyes, “Mr. Yibo…”
He was so stupid that he had mistaken the real Mr. Yibo.
“Since you didn’t do it, will you tell Mr. Yibo who did it?” Fanxing spoke in place of Yibo.
Hukai pointed to Hepeng without hesitation, “It was him. He asked me to do so.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Hepeng immediately denied it, saying, “I don’t even know you. How could I ask you to do something like this?”
“Mr. Hepeng, you gave me 200,000 to go to go the Wang family and accused Mrs. Wang of being Mr. Yibo’s mistress, and said that someone will cover up for me.” Hukai answered back at Hepeng and then looked at Yibo, “Mr. Yibo, if you don’t believe me, you can check my account. I received 200, 000 two days before I went to the Wang family.”
“I swear on my life that if I tell a lie, I shall die!”
In order to prove that he was telling the truth, Hukai was so ruthless that he risked his life.
Yibo was very impatient at listening to their argument.
“Enough.” Fanxing shouted. “Mr. Yibo will have his own decision. He has given you the chance to tell the truth and can spare the one who tells the truth, but don’t blame Mr. Yibo for being cruel to he who tells lies.”
Yibo’s eyes were as sharp as arrows, shooting Hepeng in the chest.
Hepeng shuddered, and his knees gave way and he fell to the ground.
“Mr. Yibo, my brain wasn’t functioning at that time…” Hepeng finally admitted, “I didn’t mean to do this.”
“Then who made you? Why don’t you tell me who that is, and I’ll vent it for you?” Yibo smiled dangerously.
Hepeng gritted his teeth and didn’t know how to answer.
“What? Do you have to consider whether to scapegoat for that person?” Yibo gracefully crossed his legs, “Since you are so loyal, I hope that person will not betray you.”
“Hepeng, this is the last chance Mr. Yibo will give you, Be honest.” Fanxing warned him not to think he could walk away without saying anything.
“I… I could tell you, but I hope Mr. Yibo will agree to one condition.” Hepeng dared to make a request.
“Do you think you are qualified to bargain with Mr. Yibo?” Fanxing sneered.
“Well, tell me.” Yibo wanted to see what he wanted to do.
“Mr. Yibo, don’t tell that person I told you so, and spare me.” Hepeng still wanted to keep alive.
Yibo was ruthless and vicious… Everyone knew that.
He could not help remembering what had happened to those who had offended Yibo.
He didn’t want to ruin the rest of his happy life for a woman.
“You’re asking a lot.” Fanxing was ashamed of him. “Want to ask more?”
Fanxing smiled, pretending to be kind.
Hepeng shook his head and had no guts to bargain, “No, sir.”
“Well, you are not that greedy, are you?” Fanxing sneered.
Hepeng had no choice but to bear the humiliation. Now his top priority was to keep himself safe, “Mr. Yibo, so…what do you think?”
If it weren’t for the fact that he had told Yibo that Lingjiao was the one behind all these, he would be doomed.
“Well…” Yibo picked up the red rose in the vase and smoothed the petal, “That one must be Xiao Lingjiao!”
Hepeng was stunned with his eyes wide open. It seemed that he had never expected Yibo to know the truth in advance.
“Actually, Zhan has been my legitimate wife instead of a mistress. I have taken him back to my family to meet my parents. Even if you made Hukai Shui go to my family, it would never work. And that’s not why my father got mad.” Yibo opened his thin lips and said in a cold voice casually.
“I faked a break with Zhan just because only when he is on the weak side will those culprits appear. That was why you and Lingjiao exposed yourselves during the party.”
Yibo ripped the pedals off one by one and dropped them on the ground, “So I don’t need you to confess because I have been aware of the truth.”
“Actually, you two should be the ones to be blamed. You are so eager to take revenge on Zhan and that’s why you turn yourselves in.”
Upon hearing that, Hepeng swallowed nervously and said, “Mr. Yibo, that’s not the truth. Please listen to me!”
“Mr. Yibo has no time to waste on your words!” Fanxing interrupted.
Since everything was clear, Yibo didn’t want to hear any single word from him.
What was more, Yibo valued his time and he had to make it quick.
He buttoned up his suit and said elegantly, “Fanxing, it’s on you now.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Yibo. I will have it done perfectly.” Fanxing bowed to him with great respect.
Commonly speaking, Yibo didn’t have to present here in person for such a trifle. It was Fanxing’s honor to have his arrival today.
When Yibo was about to step forward, Hepeng hurried to kneel in front of him and was about to grab Yibo’s leg to beg for mercy. But Fanxing stopped him in advance by kicking him off.
“Don’t stain Mr. Yibo’s pants! Mr. Feng, I am afraid that you will have no arms to hug any pretty girls.” Fanxing said mercilessly.
“Mr. Yibo, please forgive me! I can do anything for you as long as you show me mercy!” Hepeng was totally overwhelmed with horror.
“What I need you to do is quite simple. But you have done everything overnight! That’s what you deserve.” Yibo stared at the love bite on Hepeng’s neck. He seemed to remind Hepeng of his orgy last night.
“Mr. Yibo, I beg your pardon? I am not that clever to understand what you meant?” Hepeng was confused.
“Let me tell you,” Fanxing uttered, “You haven’t apologized to Mrs. Wang right after you offended him at the party last night. You did nothing during the whole night till now. And you even made Mr. Yibo come to you in person!”
“You didn’t apologize. What was worse, you even indulged yourself orgy in the hotel. Didn’t you have time to apologize to Mrs. Wang? How dare you! You are humiliating Mr. Yibo by doing so!”
That was the reason why Yibo showed no mercy.
“Mr. Yibo, I…I will get to apologize to Mrs. Wang right now!” Hepeng jumped up and was about to run to get dressed.
“It’s too late!”
“It’s never late as long as I am willing to apologize with my greatest sincerity!” Hepeng said nervously, “I am getting dressed. I don’t think I should go to apologize to Mrs. Wang like that.”
“It doesn’t work!”
“It works! I will keep apologizing till he pardons me!” Hepeng tried all means and insisted, “I am willing to kneel down in front of him. I won’t stand up till he forgives me!”
“Are you threatening him?” Yibo raised his brows, seemingly dangerous.
“No, no, no!” Hepeng shook his head.
“You have no chance!” Yibo took the bald stem from the table again.
He squinted and snapped the stem and dropped it on the ground. He said indifferently, “The doomsday of the Feng family is coming!”
The doomsday of the Feng family?! What a horrible retaliation!
Hepeng was rendered suffocated upon hearing that.
He gasped, “No! Mr. Yibo, please no!”
Yibo had no mood to stay. He strode forward to leave.
Fanxing stopped Hepeng, “Mr. Yibo will never take back his words! Don’t waste your time! You deserve it! No one can save you! Even your family has to be doomed because of you!”
Fanxing turned around and left. Only Hepeng was left behind, and slumped onto the ground with a bitter smile. Tears streamed down his face.
He could tell how miserable his life would be without the backup of his family. Undoubtedly, no one could afford to offend Yibo,
Hepeng looked at Hukai, who froze on spot as he was totally horrified.
Hepeng dragged him forward and punched him on his jaw, “Hukai! Let me warn you! Don’t try to run away even if my family has gone!”
Hukai also fought back as he had no way back, “Hepeng! You deserve it! It has nothing to do with me!”
“If it weren’t for your betrayal, I would not end up like that! I gotta kill you! I have nothing left now!” Hepeng went crazy.
He strangled Hukai hard with both hands with his blood-shot eyes.
Hukai was older and thinner than him. He couldn’t resist Hepeng, who was taller and stronger. His face was burning red and he was suffocated. His face turned pale as he was about to faint.
He tried to grab Hepeng’s hands to get rid of him, but he failed, “Just…let go….let me go…I have an idea to bail you out….”
Upon hearing that, Hepeng soon softened his grip, “Don’t lie to me! Or I will kill you!”
Hukai struggled to nod.
And then Hepeng let go of him, “Just say it!”
Hukai still gasped for air. He still couldn’t utter for a moment.
When he was just strangled, he was really scared because of death. But suddenly, he came up with an idea subconsciously to keep himself alive.
“Just say it! Come on!” Hepeng urged as he was quite anxious when seeing him still gasping.
“Just…just wait a minute!” Hukai was an old man in his fifties. He needed more time to breath smoothly again.
“Are you fucking lying to me?!” Hepeng grabbed his shoulder hard with a fierce expression.
He acted totally different from a moment ago when he faced Yibo, who trembled with fear.
The law of jungle always applied in the world with no exception.
“Of course I don’t dare to lie to you!” Hukai took a deep breath and then continued, “Just chill out and listen to me. I can’t guarantee that you can definitely bail yourself out. But it is still possible with 50%. And everything depends on you now.”
“What’s more, just pretend to be poor and abused. And drop your pride and self-esteem to get sympathy as much as you can!”
“No matter how the consequence will be, I hope you can just let me go.”
Hukai was really threatened as he was almost strangled to death by this mad man. He couldn’t afford to perish along with him.
“Okay, I will let you go as long as I think it works. Besides, if it really works, you will have my award!”
Hepeng deemed it quite fortune enough even if it was just 50% of success, “Then just tell me!”
Hukai told him everything that he just came up with.
Upon hearing, Hepeng’s eyes seemed to glow with hope again.
“Okay, that’s all I could do. And now everything depends on you, sir.” Hukai robbed against his aching neck with lingering fear.
“Okay!” Hepeng nodded, “Okay, you can leave now.”
Hukai was overjoyed upon hearing that. He immediately hurried out of the room.
Hepeng sat on the sofa to relax himself a bit. He then went into the bathroom to spruce himself.
Soon, he dressed up and returned to be a gentleman, He left the hotel and then drove to the Branch Company of Liu Group.
Hepeng parked the car and walked into the hall of the building.
He then came towards the front desk, “Excuse me, I am Feng Yubin. Is Mr Xiao Zhan free now? I would like to have an appointment with him.”
Hepeng chose to tell the name of Yubin in case Zhan refused to meet him.
“Okay, a moment please.” The front desk lady called Zhan, “Mr Zhan, a gentleman named Feng Yubin want to have an appointment with you. May I have your schedule?”
Zhan, who was working on his draft in the office, was quite surprised to hear the name of Yubin.
Though his grandma once asked him to have a blind date with Yubin, they hadn’t even met each other actually.
Perhaps his grandma forgot to inform Yubin that the date was cancelled. And he drove to meet him today?
Zhan raised his arm to take a look at his watch, It was 10:10 AM now.
“Mr Zhan, are you there?” The front desk asked as Zhan still remained silent.
“Yes. Just let him wait here. I will be right downstairs five minutes later.”
Zhan thought for a while. He still deemed it necessary to explain to him in case there would be any misunderstanding. He didn’t want Yubin wrong his grandma for breaking the appointment. Nor did he want Yibo to be jealous of it.
At the thought of the aggrieved and jealous look of Yibo, Zhan couldn’t help laughing.
Zhan put down the phone. He took a deep breath and stoop up.
***
When Zhan got out of the elevator, he walked towards the front desk, “Where is Feng Yubin?”
The front desk lady pointed at the one standing outside the door, “There he is.”
Zhan looked at his figure, feeling quite familiar. He then stepped forward. And the man slowly turned around.
When Zhan met him face to face, he saw him clearly it was Hepeng, not Yubin. He immediately turned around to walk away with a cold face.
Though he hadn’t met Yubin before, he knew his face from a photo shown by grandma.
“Mr Zhan, wait!” Hepeng strode forward to stop him when seeing him leave.
“What are you doing, Hepeng!” Zhan took two steps back to stay away from him, “Here is my workplace! Don’t mess around!”
“Mr Zhan, I have no evil intention and I am here to apologize to you.” Hepeng bowed to her with respect, “I am so sorry for what I have done to you. Please forgive me!”
“…”
Zhan was rendered speechless and stunned by his move, “What… what are you doing? Mr. Hepeng, I need to work. And I don’t have time to play with you.”
Zhan carefully bypassed him and was about to leave. But Hepeng stopped him and still bowed to apologize.
The front desk lady and other staffs all looked at them curiously. Some of them even started to gossip.
Zhan had no choice but to ask the security guards for help, “Sir, could you please get Mr. Hepeng out of here?”
The guards knew Zhan. So they walked to Hepeng and said, “Mr. Hepeng, please leave here. Or I am afraid we need to get you out with force.”
“I am just here to apologize. Believe me, I have no bad intention.” Hepeng deemed it unnecessary to be driven out as he didn’t mean to harass Zhan.
The guards had to drag him out. Hepeng still struggled, “Mr Zhan, I won’t leave until you forgive me today!”
Hepeng was driven out and he couldn’t come in as the guards still stood in front of the door. He could only stay outside the building.
“Just stay if you want!” Zhan turned around coldly, leaving him alone with other’s gossip.
“Mr Zhan, don’t leave, please! You can’t just see me dying!” Hepeng kneeled on one knee.
He had no choice but to kneel in front of the building, trying to win more sympathy. He wanted to pressure on Zhan by those onlookers. That was the only way for him to gain pardon.
He only had mere hope as long as Zhan forgave him.
After all, Yibo valued Zhan so much. Only Zhan could spare him the chance of survival.
Hepeng was totally frightened by Yibo. He didn’t want his family to be destroyed. He still had to rely on his family for the wealth and support. He had to drop his pride and kneeled for a man even if he was mocked. Every cost mattered as long as he had a chance to survive.
Zhan was really confused when seeing him kneeling down outside the door.
He just mocked me sharply at the party last night. How could it be possible that he was willing to kneel down to beg for pardon today.
Every passer-by saw the weird scene. They were all guessing what happened between Zhan and this man.
“Do you think if Mr Zhan abandoned this man…”
“No! Mr Zhan has married, so this man might be his husband. See, he keeps begging for pardon. Perhaps he cheated on him and Mr Zhan was aware of that.”
“No! He addresses him as Mr Zhan, not honey or babe! So he is not his husband!”
“Perhaps Mr Zhan ruined his plan or he had something on him. That’s why a gentleman like him even kneels down for pardon.”
“I wouldn’t do that if I weren’t him. If I have to, I would do it at home when no one is around.”
“So what makes him kneel for him!”
“Stop guessing! We will know soon if we keep watching.”
Zhan frowned when noticing those gossipers. Then he looked at Hepeng.
Zhan thought he’d better leave him alone. He then turned around and left everyone keep gossiping, leaving Hepeng playing his own trick, He thought those onlookers would also leave if they lost interest after he left.
Hepeng was quite flustered when seeing Zhan leave. He then shouted, “Mr Zhan, I will keep kneeling here till you nod to forgive me!”
How dared he threaten me!
Zhan smiled coldly and said indifferently, “Mr. Hepeng, you can just kneel here for all day long if you insist.”
“I have much work to deal with. I am afraid I have no time to waste on you.” Zhan then said to the guards, “Watch him! Don’t let him in to disturb me!”
Zhan spared him no choice. He then turned to walk towards the elevator without looking back.
Hepeng saw Zhan walk into the elevator and press the button. He wanted to rush in anxiously. But the guards stopped him as required.
“Mr. Hepeng, I am sorry. You are not allowed to come in.”
Hepeng was anxious and mad when seeing Zhan go upstairs.
Some onlookers still stood and watched. If Hepeng left, all his efforts would be gone. What was more, he had just promised. So he had to keep kneeling on one knee in front of the building.
He just hoped Zhan could show him sympathy for his persistence.
Hepeng kept kneeling. However, as a man living in affluence, he felt both his waist and back pain after kneeling for a while. His knee hurt as well because of the hard ground.
His face turned pale and his shirt was drenched by sweat, which stuck to his body, making him quite uncomfortable.
When it was at noon, Hepeng slumped onto the ground, He stripped off his suit jacket and also his tie.
His hairs were drenched by sweat as if he ran couple of miles to get here.
When people passed by to have lunch, Hepeng said to them, “Please tell Mr Zhan I need to meet him, If he still refuses, I will be dead…”
Hepeng felt himself almost dying if Zhan still refused to meet him.
***
One of the gossipers did go to deliver a message for Hepeng in front of Zhan.
Zhan just stared coldly at the one who were once close to Zhouxuan, “If you are free now, just take those files for copy. The total of these files is 100,”
That person looked quite discontented when seeing the files, “Mr Zhan, you should make those junior girls to these odds and ends. That’s not my job.”
“So you deem delivering a message for Mr. Hepeng as your job?” Zhan stopped his work and stared at that person, “Since your job is to meddle with trifles, why not let you handle the copies?”
“I am just here to deliver a message.”
“And I just ask you to have some copies.” Zhan then continued seriously, “If you feel like being aggrieved, let’s go to Mr. Lixian’s office and let him decide on this matter.”
Upon hearing that, that person was flustered, “Mr Zhan, I don’t think we should bother Mr. Lixian just because of such a trifle.”
She also afraid of being fired just like Ximena if Lixian knew it.
Though that person was quite annoyed by the fact that Zhan could threaten her with his relationship with Lixian and Yuchen, she had no choice but to hold back her grievance and take the files for copy.
Zhan really disdained a gossiper like her.
What a weird and disgusting person!
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Yibo.
He picked up the phone, though quite annoyed, “Why do you call me?”
“The news that Hepeng kneels in front of your workplace has been a heated topic on the Internet.” Yibo still paid attention to the next move of Hepeng.
“And you just focus on your work. Leave him alone.”
“I am quite curious. Why did he come to my place for me? He offended you, right?” Zhan seemed to find out the reason when hearing his words.
“Hukai told my father in the Intercontinental Garden Hotel that it has something to do with Hepeng when you are slandered as a mistress. But the culprit was actually Lingjiao.” Yibo explained and then continued, “Plus what happened last night at the party… Though they hurt you, they actually offended me since then.”
Yibo wouldn’t just stand by and watch when Zhan was involved. He had to make them pay the price.
And he just started his plan to retaliate against Lingjiao while starting from Hepeng.
Upon hearing that, Zhan smiled. He felt warm in his heart and tears wet his eyes.
Zhan remained silent for a while but still failed to utter as he felt quite warm in his heart.
“What? Are you moved?” Yibo seemed to read Zhan’s mind.
“Thank you, honey.” Zhan called him as honey intimately again.
“Don’t mention it, Darling.” Yibo was quite overjoyed to hear that, “Let me handle all these. And you just need to focus on your work only.”
“Okay. But I didn’t expect Hepeng would ally himself with Lingjiao.” Zhan felt relaxed while speaking. For Yibo, that would be the best backup.
“I can still smash them easily even they team up.” Yibo sneered.
Even if the Xiao family allied themselves with the Feng family, it wouldn’t take Yibo any struggle to deal with it. After all, he was much more powerful.
“Just don’t softhearted.” Yibo seemed to notice him, “I know Lingjiao is your sister.”
“Sister? So what? Our siblinghood has gone five years ago. We are so incompatible! She had plotted against me again and again! Why should I be softhearted!” Zhan gritted with hatred.
If it weren’t because of Lingjiao’s plot five years ago, he wouldn’t have run away miserably and he wouldn’t have returned for revenge.
He still remembered the day when both his sister and lover betrayed him. It hurt so much.
Zhan clenched his fists. His palms hurt as the fingernail pressed hard on them.
“I am happy to know that you are finally aware of it.” Yibo raised his brows and looked at his watch, “Did you have lunch?”
“Oh, I almost forget.” Zhan was so focused on his work that he forgot to have lunch.
“You have to have lunch no matter how busy you are. You have to take care of yourself.” Yibo reminded, though he knew that Zhan was a workaholic.
Yibo supported him and spared him enough space for his work. He knew Zhan well. Zhan would never just want to be a housewife.
He still allowed Zhan to work after marriage. He knew the best way to love him was to free him with enough space instead of restraining him at home.
“I don’t want my boy to be sick because of heavy work. Or I have to lock you at home.” Yibo tried to remind Zhan of taking care of himself by giving a mere threat.
“I will take care. But today is just an exception.” Zhan could tell how serious Yibo was. He then continued, “Now I am going to have lunch,”
“Okay.” Yibo nodded.
***
After the call, Yibo fixed his eyes on the laptop to continue with his projects.
Fanxing came over and said with respect, “Mr. Yibo, we have liquidated all assets of the Feng family. And here is the list of the key partners of the Feng Group. I have noticed them and they are all willing to end the cooperation with the Feng Group. They will soon fall into productivity crisis.”
“Okay.” Yibo held the delicate coffee cup beside him elegantly.
He took a sip and smiled for victory. Everything went on as expected including the clear cut from all the Feng Group’s key partners. No one dared to offend Yibo.
Fanxing deemed his boss almost a wife-centered freak, who was willing to destroy a promising enterprise like the Feng Group just for his wife.
What a dangerous beauty!
Of course, Fanxing could only bury his words in his mind.
“Order some desserts for him. And treat all members of his workplace a nice high tea with refreshments.” Yibo then continued to order, “Besides, deliver him a set of lunch produced by Scent Pearl Restaurant every single day from tomorrow on.”
He wanted Zhan to have lunch on time and also enjoy desserts when he was hungry.
“Yes, sir!” Fanxing nodded but still stood still.
Yibo raised his brows, “What else do you want to say?”
“Mr. Yibo, we haven’t had any food yet…” Fanxing had been working for Yibo’s order with other staffs from morning till 2:00 PM. They all starved badly.
“But I am not hungry at all even if it’s about 2:00 PM.” Yibo said.
“That’s because you are fed with affection…” Fanxing murmured, “But we are all single and have no affection to feed us with…”
“What did you just say?” Yibo squinted.
“No…nothing.” Fanxing lowered his head upon seeing his gaze, “I said I would be right ordering desserts for Mrs. Wang. But, can we order some food by the way?”
“My wife is still starving.” Yibo said casually. But he seemed to warn Fanxing to feed Zhan first.
“I will prioritize the order of Mrs. Wang.” Fanxing turned around and left, trying not to bother Yibo.
“You will have your year-end bonus doubled this year.” Soon, the deep voice of Yibo came from behind.
Fanxing’s eyes were glowing with joy. It seemed that he was not longer aggrieved as a moment ago. He turned around in surprise, “Thank you so much, Mr. Yibo!”
As his special assistant, Fanxing had enjoyed a big sum of year-end bonus. If he had the bonus doubled, he would be even willing to starve for a whole day!
***
Half an hour later, Zhan received two big packets filled with desserts plus with high tea, which took five men to deliver them.
“Oh my gosh! You have so many desserts?” Mianmian exclaimed while seeing the big packets and also the special set for Zhan specifically. She then continued, “Mr Zhan, who is your husband? That richest man in the world?”
Zhan signed the receipt while shaking his head, “I didn’t expect that either. He must want to make me put on tons of weight.”
Mianmian took a cup of coffee from the packet and said, ” Zhan, your husband must want to feed you up with love in case you may seek for love from someone else.”
Then Mianmian took a bar of chocolate produced by a world-famous brand. She snapped it and put it into her mouth. She raised her brows and smiled at Zhan ambiguously while her mouth was overwhelmed with sweetness.
Zhan poked her forehead with finger gently, “I know what’s on your mind.”
“Zhan, I am really jealous of you for your loving husband!” Mianmian truly felt the love from that unknown man, “I will love a guy like him really deep if I had one.”
“Really? Are you sure my husband is a loving one? You don’t even see him before. A packet of desserts will be enough to conquer you?” Zhan deemed her too simple and innocent.
“Though money is not the only standard to value love, it still accounts as a significant one. I can tell from how much he is willing to pay for you. You still remember the food of Scent Pearl Restaurant you received last time, right? This time comes all kinds of famous coffee, drinks, chocolate, cakes, chicken wings and tart. He prepared a set for everyone here.”
After thinking for a while, Mianmian continued, “I could tell it must be quite expensive as all packets here contain all desserts and drinks for every staff in the company. Only few men will be willing to pay the bill.”
Zhan didn’t reply but just smiled.
“Zhan, is your husband an attractive guy?” Mianmian asked curiously while cupping her cheek.
“He is an old man in his fifties. He isn’t tall. Nor is he attractive. He is just so rich.” Zhan said as the opposite of Yibo.
“I don’t believe it.” Mianmian shook her head.
“Why not?” Zhan smiled even more, “Perhaps I am that kind of gold digger who would value money more than marriage itself.”
