She never expected Fu Lian to show up here suddenly.
The leisurely smile on Wen Baozhu's face froze, and her complexion paled slightly.
She had no idea how much of their conversation Fu Lian had heard, and she was afraid that he would misunderstand.
But as a guest outside, she had to observe the rules of social etiquette.
She forced a smile and tried to look calm: "Mr. Fu, why did you suddenly come here?"
"Can't I come?" He asked rhetorically with a smile. He pulled out another chair next to her and sat down casually.
He pointed out the window of the restaurant, "I just passed by and noticed you, so I came over to take a look."
Was it a coincidence, or did he know in advance?
Wen Baozhu could not figure it out. She could only make a far - fetched excuse: "What a coincidence."
Gu Xiujing was sitting opposite the two of them. The moment Fu Lian appeared, he could clearly sense that Wen Baozhu's expression was not right.
She was nervous, and even more... frightened?
He was originally unhappy because Wen Baozhu had rejected him. At this moment, the sudden appearance of Fu Lian made her tense up. He was even more displeased: "Mr. Fu, today I am meeting with Baozhu alone."
The implication was that his sudden appearance and sitting here was inappropriate.
"I am also here to meet Baozhu." Fu Lian's finger was placed on the table. The waiter was very observant and immediately served a glass of lemonade.
"Anyway, we are talking about work at Fu Corporation. It doesn't matter if I join." Fu Lian said lazily, "Just think of me as an inspector, here to supervise Baozhu's work."
He called her Baozhu again and again. The two of them seemed to be in a competition to win her over. Only the person concerned, Baozhu, was in a daze, as if floating.
"You!" Gu Xiujing was extremely angry. He wanted to curse, but he maintained his dignity: "You have so many people working for you. What's the point of keeping her?"
Fu Lian smiled, looking extremely nonchalant: "General Manager Gu is used to saving people. You must have gotten occupational disease. Do you think everyone needs you as their savior?"
"Opening a hospital and doing medical work should be for the purpose of saving people. Don't jump to conclusions. You might as well kill people, and you will be sued until you go bankrupt."
"Shamelessness should have a limit." Gu Xiujing said expressionlessly. In fact, his complexion was already extremely ugly: "Fu Lian, don't act so lawlessly!"
The provocation of calling him by his name did not affect Fu Lian at all. He still looked calm.
"In Hong Kong, I can act lawlessly. But General Manager Gu is different. It's not easy for you to have a connection with Old Master Zhou. You should still cherish your feathers."
His tone was very calm, but Wen Baozhu still got goosebumps on her back.
She looked up at Gu Xiujing. His complexion had already become stiff.
It seemed that she had a conclusion in her heart.
Gu Xiujing could not protect her.
A wise man would learn from his mistakes and not make the same mistake twice. Wen Baozhu did not want to make the same mistake again.
Fu Lian turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Are you done eating?"
He did not need to wait for her answer. Just by looking at the food on the table, which was hardly touched, he knew the answer.
"It seems that these dishes are not to your taste. I'll take you to eat something else." He looked at her and said gently: "Let's go eat what Baozhu likes. Is that okay?"
He was good at weaving sweet traps. His expression did not show a trace of impatience, making it easy for people to fall into his love net.
How affectionate.
Wen Baozhu took a deep breath. She knew that Fu Lian was giving her an ultimatum.
She pretended to be calm and put on her cashmere coat. When she got up, she did not forget to say goodbye to Gu Xiujing.
"General Manager Gu, if there are no problems with the plan, please remember to sign the contract later."
Her business - like attitude made Gu Xiujing's heart sink completely.
He said: "Baozhu, I'll put it on the line. In the future, as long as you need help, I will definitely—"
"Gu Xiujing."
Wen Baozhu suddenly called his name and looked at him calmly. Her eyes were cold, as if she was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Please don't be smart. I don't need it."
...
There were too many examples from the past. Wen Baozhu knew the true face of Fu Lian very well.
So the moment she sat in the car, she could not wait to explain: "Mr. Fu, please listen to my explanation!"
Fu Lian looked at her, and his eyes swept across her face.
She had put on light makeup today. The light pink blush gave her a good complexion. Due to her excessive nervousness, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her upturned nose.
"Relax, Baozhu. Relax."
The more he said that, the more uncertain Wen Baozhu felt. She knew that Fu Lian preferred softness to toughness. "Regardless of how much Mr. Fu heard just now, I have no intention of cooperating with Gu Xiujing."
"What else did you talk about?"
Wen Baozhu tightened her fingers, "He said that he was willing to send me away from Hong Kong and start a new life."
"What did you say?" He continued to guide her.
Wen Baozhu felt a chill on her back. She was not sure if Fu Lian would believe her, but she still said: "I told him that I don't need it. I have no intention of leaving Hong Kong."
After she said that, her heart was still pounding.
She was afraid that Fu Lian did not believe her, and she was also afraid that Fu Lian was pretending to trust her.
It was all because Fu Lian trusted her too little and suspected her too much.
"Mr. Fu, please believe me!"
Fu Lian bent his lips. There was a thick smile on his lips, "Yes, I believe you."
Wen Baozhu was about to open her mouth to explain again. She did not expect to hear an unexpected answer. She was still a little stunned.
"Mr. Fu... really believes me?"
The last time she had supper with Gu Xiujing, she was punished when she got back. She still remembered it clearly.
Compared to last time, this time was even worse. How could he so easily believe her and let her go?
She had many doubts in her heart, but the man's aura had always been gentle and calm.
The Maybach was driving very steadily. There was no noise at all. Only the sound of the wheels rolling could be heard.
Wen Baozhu relaxed her guard a little. She took the initiative to hug the man's waist, and her chin rested on his chest.
"Mr. Fu really believes me?"
Fu Lian was calm: "Why? Do you want me to suspect you and punish you before you are satisfied?"
"That's not it." Wen Baozhu quickly shook her head.
Fu Lian's voice was soft: "I told you before. The two of us are dating. We are equal."
"Since we are equal, I will naturally trust you." He took Wen Baozhu's hand and interlocked their fingers.
The man's throat moved slightly. He paused for a moment before saying: "It was my fault before. I'll admit my mistakes to you. In the future, whatever Baozhu says, I will not doubt her at all."
He was so sincere and had such a good temper. Wen Baozhu looked at the gentle Fu Lian, but she could not truly feel at ease and happy.
She could not describe the feeling. She watched as Fu Lian finally truly believed her, but she was still filled with uneasiness and fear.
This concern was finally confirmed after they returned to the villa.
Wild kisses fell like raindrops, making people wonder if he could not hold back for even a minute.
Wen Baozhu begged softly: "Let's go back to the room first..."
But the man did not plan to fulfill her wish.
When he pierced her from behind, she was sweating profusely. It was as if she had been pierced through. Her whole body trembled.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Her vision became blurred as she swayed.
Fortunately, the table in front of her gave her good support, so that she did not really fall down in a sorry state.
The man bit her earlobe from behind. His rough voice was low and hoarse: "Baozhu, don't misunderstand. I'm not blaming you."
"Blame me. It's my jealousy that is acting up."
