Other groups had no chance of getting a share of the pie, secretly resenting Fu Yunqi for successfully getting into bed with them. Fu Family had actually used a handsome man to seduce them, calling it despicable.

Fu Huaiyan didn't care what their relationship was. As long as Fu Yunqi didn't commit any crimes and the cooperation was completed in principle, he wouldn't interfere.

The current development is still acceptable.

He thought the Fu Family might have another happy event soon.

As Fu Yunqi and Lin Shihua's relationship grew closer, Gu Yubai, as per the original plot, arrived late.

Although he arrived a little late, his entrance was very deliberate, and having already heard that President Lin was fond of "male beauty," he made sure to showcase his physique to the fullest in both his clothing and appearance.

While Fu Yunqi and Lin Shihua were having dinner, he went into the restaurant and pretended to be a waiter, playing the piano.

The piece she played was "Marriage d'Amour," a piano piece that can be easily found on Baidu.

This infuriated Fu Yunqi.

If murder were not illegal, Gu Yubai would have been killed hundreds of times over.

This man is truly immoral; he clearly has a girlfriend but still tries to seduce Lin Shihua.

Unfortunately Gu Yubai's piano playing was very beautiful, and Lin Shihua showed a look of appreciation.

Fu Yunqi instantly felt terrible, as if he had eaten several pounds of lemons, and his whole being felt sour.

Unfortunately, I can't play the piano, and while I'm not an expert in activities like skiing or golf, I can at least participate in those if I only know a little bit.

However, the character's ability to play the piano wasn't even part of the storyline's premise.

Such a great setup should naturally be given to the male lead; otherwise, how would he have the right to philander?

Fu Yunqi was very angry and also very scared, afraid that Lin Shihua would fall in love with Gu Yubai because of the plot and not under his control.

He had experienced firsthand how terrifying the power of a plot could be, because whenever he encountered the female lead, he would become lax in his daily work and do things that were completely illogical.

What's even more frightening is that Lin Shihua doesn't know anything about the plot, nor does she know anything about Gu Yubai. Fu Yunqi is even more afraid that she will be influenced by the male lead's halo.

Therefore, enduring this meal was extremely painful.

After Lin Shihua and Fu Yunqi finished their meal, she said something that broke his heart even more.

"Yunqi, that person plays the piano so beautifully, let's go say hello."

Fu Yunqi's heart was shattered into pieces.

I finally understand what it feels like to love someone you can't have.

Yes, he's fallen in love with Lin Shihua and can't see that she's attracted to Gu Yubai. His heart is really aching.

Lin Shihua didn't know what was going on, nor did she think much of it. She just thought that the waiter played quite well and she enjoyed listening to him, so she decided to give him a tip, as she had a habit of tipping back in Hong Kong.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Fu Yunqi suddenly clutching his chest in agony.

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore, Shihua, please take me to the hospital!"

"What's wrong? Don't scare me."

Amidst the chaos, Lin Shihua quickly instructed her bodyguards to take Fu Yunqi to the nearest hospital.

After a thorough full-body examination.

They found that he had no problems whatsoever.

"..."

However, the matter at the restaurant was considered over. Lin Shihua didn't blame him, but she felt that he was genuinely uncomfortable. After all, he was in so much pain that his face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat, which didn't seem like he was faking it.

Fu Yunqi felt that his acting skills were quite reliable, and he completely portrayed the intense pain, making the suffering very realistic.

He wasn't faking illness on purpose, but he saw that the male lead's aura was just too powerful. Without using some tricks, he really could get Gu Yubai and Lin Shihua to communicate.

At that point, it will be beyond your control.

When Fu Yunqi finally had some free time to leave Lin Shihua's place and returned to the Fu Family, the first thing he did was to ask Su Wanqiao for help.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm in dire need of help! Gu Yubai, I beg you! That bastard Gu Yubai is trying to steal Lin Shihua from me again. I thought he wouldn't show up because of the West Suburb Woods project, but it seems that even though his meeting with Lin Shihua has been delayed, they'll still run into each other sooner or later. At that point, I really won't be able to control the plot anymore. But I know you know the whole story, so you must have a way to stop that bastard from showing up in front of Shihua. If all else fails, I'll have someone tie him up and release him after the plot ends..."

"..."

[If you do that, your older brother will be the first to send you to jail.]

"..."

Fu Yunqi's face paled slightly, clearly he had almost been blinded by love.

Su Wanqiao thought that Fu Yunqi's love-obsessed persona hadn't collapsed, although he hadn't used it on the female lead, but rather on Lin Shihua.

It's amazing how toxic love can be! It can turn perfectly good, ambitious young people into lawbreakers.

"Don't rush. No matter what happens, it's not worth doing this for Gu Yubai. Sometimes you need to use strategy. Let me ask you a question."

"Do you think Gu Yubai likes Jiang Ruoning more, or does Jiang Ruoning like Gu Yubai more? Although they are the official couple, it seems that their emotional investment is not commensurate."

"Jiang Ruoning definitely likes Gu Yubai more. That scumbag Gu Yubai probably doesn't have any real feelings at all. I feel that if he really liked his girlfriend, why would he continue to seduce other women?"

Anyway, the men of the Fu Family would never do such a thing.

Su Wanqiao smiled.

[As expected of someone who's lost their virginity, their attitude is completely different now. No wonder they have a wife...]

"..."

Fu Yunqi was still somewhat embarrassed by the teasing.

But isn't what he said wrong? That's exactly how it is.
