Xu Chen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "What... happened between you and President Fu yesterday?"
How could one night have passed and one of the artists she had just signed be having an affair with her boss?
To be honest, if I hadn't already witnessed Xia Zhiyi's fighting prowess and had some understanding of my superior, it would have been very easy to misunderstand the relationship between the two of them upon hearing this news.
Xia Zhiyi was about to say something.
Xu Chen quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Forget it, you'd better not tell me. I'm not really interested in the big boss's love life."
Then Xia Zhiyi said four words: "Lust at first sight."
Xu Chen: "...?"
Xu Chen was silent for a few seconds, looked Xia Zhiyi up and down, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lust at first sight?"
She thought again about Fu Chi's prestige...
Of course, Xu Chen didn't mean that Xia Zhiyi wasn't good-looking. Xia Zhiyi is good-looking. As a celebrity, her face is at least much better than many male artists in the industry who rely on makeup to appear on screen these days.
But Fu Chi's face was simply overwhelmingly attractive. It wouldn't be strange for others to be attracted to someone's looks, but it felt a bit awkward when it happened to Fu Chi.
At least in Xu Chen's opinion, Fu Chi is more beautiful than Xia Zhiyi.
Fu Yunyi is no match for Fu Chi.
That's really strange.
Xia Zhiyi nodded. "Yes."
Xu Chen: "... Oh."
She paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, " Fu Chi develop feelings for you at first sight?"
Xia Zhiyi: "No, it's that I was attracted to Fu Chi at first sight."
Xu Chen: "... Who?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and replied, "Me."
Xu Chen: "..."
Xu Chen was in a daze.
Xu Chen pinched himself.
After a few seconds, she nodded earnestly. "That's normal then."
Xia Zhiyi: Hmm?
Xia Wanyi: "..."
Xia Wanyi began to feel melancholy again.
My brother... he actually fell for her?
Not to mention Xu Chen was dazed when he heard Xia Zhiyi's words, the other party involved was also a little dazed after waking up.
When Fu Chi came downstairs, his brows were slightly furrowed, as he was still pondering something.
When he got up, he didn't see Xia Zhiyi, which made him wonder if what happened yesterday was just a bizarre dream.
Fu Chi walked into the restaurant, Old Master Fu was glaring at him.
Fu Chi: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Old Master Fu glared at him, then gestured to the dining table, "Eat first."
Fu Chi: "..."
What can't be said directly?
But Fu Chi rarely fell ill, and he was indeed feeling unwell. At this moment, he didn't really want to bother his own father, so he nodded and sat down.
While drinking his porridge, Fu Chi's thoughts drifted, still lingering on what happened last night.
Old Master Fu said, "You're daydreaming even while drinking porridge. What are you thinking about? Can't you eat properly?"
Fu Chi: "..."
Why does it feel like the old man's attitude towards me today is... a bit harsh?
Why?
He didn't go to the company because he was sick?
No, it wouldn't be that bad. The old man would only get angry if he actually went to work at the company.
Fu Chi put down his bowl, and just as he was about to say something, the old man scolded him again, "Just eat, what are you chatting about?"
Fu Chi: "..."
It's confirmed.
The old man really didn't like him today.
Fu Chi remained silent for a few seconds, then Jingjing finished his porridge.
Fu Chi: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Old Master Fu slammed his hand on the table. "You!"
Fu Chi's phone rang.
Old Master Fu: "..."
Fu Chi glanced at it and said, "The company must need to contact me."
Old Master Fu: "... Take it."
Fu Chi accepted it.
After Fu Chi hung up the phone, Old Master Fu's imposing manner had vanished. He glared at his son with annoyance and finally uttered, "You're so much older than Xiao Xia, how could you do that?"
Fu Chi: "..."
Fu Chi was momentarily dazed, but he wasn't really stupid enough to say at this point that he suspected he was not thinking clearly yesterday and was dreaming.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I... I will take responsibility."
Even so, something still feels off about the current situation.
Old Master Fu slammed his hand on the table and said, "Of course you have to take responsibility! Xiao Xia is so young, and he's willing to talk to you, so you should treat him well."
"Young people might have a bad temper, so you need to be more tolerant."
"I thought you were going to be single forever. You're so old and you haven't dated anyone. Did you use up all your luck in the past 28 years by meeting Xiao Xia?"
"Now that you're officially a couple, when Xiao Xia has time, have him come over to our house more often. It's not easy for her to have a boyfriend, so it's good to introduce him to my old friends. Who knows, if we run into each other at some event, he can help Xiao Xia out."
Old Master Fu muttered a few words, basically telling Fu Chi to Xia Zhiyi better. He said that at his age, he should cherish someone who didn't mind his age and poor communication skills.
Old Master Fu also said, "It's a good thing Xiao Xia is an adult now, otherwise I would have broken your legs today."
Fu Chi: "..."
Well, how should I put it?
I was a little dazed.
After the old man's long-winded rambling, the feeling of realism really came through.
It's like I'm not the old man's biological son, but Xia Zhiyi is.
Suddenly, Old Master Fu remembered something and frowned as he looked at Fu Chi: "By the way, have you told Xiao Xia about your eye problem?"
Fu Chi: "... I already said that."
Old Master Fu nodded in satisfaction. "You're sensible. Although your eye problem doesn't affect your life, and you and Xiao Xia don't need to worry about genetics in your future children if you get married, people still have the right to know about this."
"Alright, you should rest well today. Missing one day from the company won't cause any major problems." The old man said this, stood up, paused for two seconds, and said, "I haven't been to the company for a while either, I'll go check it out today."
Fu Chi: "... Okay."
After Old Master Fu left, Fu Chi called the butler and asked, "When... did he leave?"
The butler, whether from some good fortune or something else, had a smile more radiant than any flower. Hearing this, he said with a beaming smile, "You mean Madam? Madam, he..."
Fu Chi raised his hand to stop him. "Wait, what's with that way of addressing me?"
Butler: "Ah, my apologies. What should I address Young Master Xia?"
Fu Chi silent.
The butler asked nervously, "Sir?"
Fu Chi rubbed his temples. "Ask him next time he comes over."
He paused, then looked at the butler and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
The butler blinked. "You finally have company. I couldn't resist."
Fu Chi was speechless.
The butler had watched him grow up and was considered Fu Chi's elder, so Fu Chi couldn't tell the butler to stop laughing at this moment.
The butler asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Why?
Could it be that you and Young Master Xia weren't together willingly?
