- Chapter 40 - The Little Wife is in Danger
Shen Yunxing had been worried for days about Old Master Tang’s drastic measures. A week later, without any sign of Old Master Tang, Mr. Fu was instead entangled with a woman.
“Brother Fu, I didn’t expect you to become even more handsome after all these years,” the woman said, smoothing the stray hair by her ear. Her exquisite makeup and impressive figure attracted quite a few onlookers.
“Xu Bingying?” Fu Tingzhou was a bit surprised. “You’re back from studying abroad?”
“Yes, I didn’t expect Brother Fu to still remember me,” Xu Bingying laughed, covering her mouth. “Brother Fu, you’ve grown more handsome. If I had known, I wouldn’t have given up on you so early.”
Then, she turned her gaze to Shen Yunxing beside him.
“Oh my, this little brother is so pretty. Brother Fu, aren’t you going to introduce us?” Xu Bingying said with a smile.
Under the woman’s scrutinizing gaze, Shen Yunxing silently straightened his posture.
“He’s a kid from my family. You can call him Yunxing.”
Upon hearing Fu Tingzhou’s introduction, Xu Bingying subtly raised her eyebrow.
So protective? This definitely wasn’t just an ordinary relationship. Could this little brother be the one Old Master Tang mentioned?
Thinking this, she pulled out a chair and sat across from Shen Yunxing.
“Oh dear, the dining hall has been so busy these past few years, there’s no place to sit. Brother Fu, Little Brother Yunxing, you don’t mind sharing a table, right?”
She asked Fu Tingzhou, but her eyes lingered on Shen Yunxing, making him feel inexplicably uneasy and a bit threatened.
“Go ahead,” Fu Tingzhou replied.
“Thank you, Brother Fu,” Xu Bingying said happily, using communal chopsticks to place a piece of food on Fu Tingzhou’s plate.
Shen Yunxing frowned deeply.
What is this woman trying to do? Doesn’t she know Mr. Fu is a married man?
“Why is Little Brother Yunxing staring at me?” Xu Bingying asked with a smile, propping her chin on her hand.
“Because you’re so beautiful,” Shen Yunxing said with a sweet smile, though he thought to himself: What good is being pretty? Mr. Fu and I are legally married!
“You have such a sweet mouth. I like that,” Xu Bingying said.
She wasn’t actually hungry, having already eaten, so she simply rested her chin on her hands and watched the two men across from her.
Tang Che said these two were married, but why did it feel off to her? Would normal couples avoid physical contact so deliberately?
She twirled a lock of hair around her finger, thinking she had made the right decision to come.
“Brother Fu, Xiao Yunxing, see you next time,” Xu Bingying said, waving goodbye after the meal.
On the way back to Hua Court, Shen Yunxing was distracted. Mr. Fu’s attitude toward Xu Bingying was different from others. He wanted to ask about their relationship but hesitated. In the end, the man noticed his thoughts and explained voluntarily.
“I went to the same high school as Tang Che and Xu Bingying, and she was one of the students Old Master Tang sponsored.”
“And what did she mean by giving up early?”
“She pursued me once,” Fu Tingzhou paused, then added, “That was a long time ago. I didn’t mention it to avoid making you worry.”
Hearing only the first part, Shen Yunxing frowned. This woman definitely had bad intentions.
The next day, as usual, he went to work with Fu Tingzhou, only to see Xu Bingying again at the office.
She wore a red dress today, with delicate makeup and a graceful figure that caught everyone’s eye.
“Is she a newly signed artist? She’s too beautiful! Now I understand what ‘gorgeous’ means. With the right promotion, she’ll be a huge star!”
“Yeah, we have all types in our company, but there aren’t many who can compete with her beauty. Do you know who signed her? Where did they find her? Amazing!”
“Stop praising her. She’s clearly a top-tier manipulator. Have you ever seen the boss be so kind to any other woman? I think our boss’s wife might be in for a tough time!”
“Damn, you might be right!”
As everyone whispered, they saw Xu Bingying walk toward Shen Yunxing and gasped.
Here it comes, the showdown!
“Xiao Yunxing, we meet again~” Xu Bingying said with a smile. “I just returned and haven’t settled down yet. I might need to trouble you and Brother Fu for a while.”
Eavesdropping Crowd: Good grief, could she be an old flame?!
Shen Yunxing didn’t know if she was an old flame, but he knew this woman definitely had bad intentions!
“Bingying Jie1,” he said with a forced smile, looking at the woman.
“Why are you here?” Fu Tingzhou asked her, holding the boy’s wrist.
“Old Master Tang sent me.” Xu Bingying shrugged. “You got married behind his back without even showing your face. Of course, he’s anxious.”
Fu Tingzhou shook his head helplessly.
Shen Yunxing watched them exchange glances without speaking for a while, feeling a surge of crisis.
“Mr. Fu, I’m hungry,” he said, shaking the man’s arm and lying without changing his expression. “What I ate this morning has already been digested.”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll have Secretary Yang order it for you.” Fu Tingzhou rubbed his head.
“Little cakes.”
“I think you’re not hungry, just craving sweets,” Fu Tingzhou said with a doting tone.
Shen Yunxing gave him an embarrassed smile, then turned to look at Xu Bingying with a slightly smug and provocative look in his eyes.
Xu Bingying raised her eyebrows and quickly took a candid photo of the boy’s smug expression under the guise of a selfie.
【Bingying】: [Picture] [Picture]
【Grandpa Tang】: Is this the kid Tingzhou is hiding?
【Bingying】: Grandpa, you got it wrong. Tingzhou isn’t hiding him; he’s very open about it.
Old Master Tang’s bad idea of having her come to provoke Fu Tingzhou backfired. In less than half a day, she had become the top “green tea” (manipulative woman) in the company’s eyes.
Xu Bingying shrugged, teasing herself, and then secretly aimed her phone at the boy across the couch who was devouring cake.
Meanwhile, the “Little Wife” group chat was buzzing.
【Did Little Wife Get Up Today?】: Sisters, the opponent is too strong; she has infiltrated directly!
【Little Wife in Danger】: What kind of background does this woman have to be allowed to stay in the office so long? Isn’t the boss afraid of making Little Wife jealous?
【Secretary Yang is Tired】: Xu Bingying is the boss’s high school classmate. She pursued him before. She said Old Master Tang sent her. I’m afraid our little cutie is in danger, sob sob [biting handkerchief].
【Boss’s Wife, Hold On】: You have to believe in the boss. He treats his wife so well; how could he abandon him for an old flame? He wouldn’t… right? Oh my god, I’m so worried [going crazy].
【Get Lost, Green Tea】: Where did this green tea come from? Needs a beating!
【Fragrant Tea】: I just delivered some files. The moment she spoke, she was a top green tea, but she’s so pretty. Even I, a girl, am tempted. If Master Xu announced she’s quitting the green tea game, I’d definitely become a fan [laying flat].
Having gained a new title of “Master of Tea Art,” Xu Bingying returned to the office with a cup of coffee.
“Brother Fu, I remember you like your coffee with three parts sugar. Did I remember correctly?” she said, pushing the coffee toward Fu Tingzhou with a smile.
“Thanks.” Fu Tingzhou thanked her, leaned back, and gave her a warning glance.
That’s enough. Old Master Tang sent you to check on the boy, not to ruin my relationship with him.
Xu Bingying smiled.
I’m helping you.
Seeing them exchange glances again, Shen Yunxing felt a surge of jealousy.
“Bingying Jie, you must be very busy just returning to the country, right?”
“Not busy for now, I can stay at Brother Fu’s place for a while,” Xu Bingying said, looking at the slight frown on the young boy’s face and deciding to drop a bigger bombshell.
“I just got back to the country, and I’m unfamiliar with Yun City. Plus, as a girl, it’s really not safe to stay in a hotel alone. I was wondering if Brother Fu has any spare rooms where I could stay?”
Shen Yunxing was shocked and quickly turned to look at Mr. Fu.
“Don’t you have a boyfr—”
“Brother Fu, I suddenly remembered something,” Xu Bingying interrupted Fu Tingzhou before he could finish his sentence. “Do you remember Ren Yue?”
If you dare to mention my boyfriend, I’ll spill the beans about you peeping on Ren Yue in the bath. She threatened him with her eyes.
Fu Tingzhou frowned.
The whole thing was a baseless rumor, a stunt pulled by Ren Yue herself. Even so, he didn’t want the boy to know about it.
“I don’t remember.”
Xu Bingying waved her hand. “Oh, never mind then. I just wanted to say she got married recently. Her husband seems to be in real estate.”
“Mm.” Fu Tingzhou responded indifferently.
“I thought about it and decided it wouldn’t be convenient for me to stay with a man like you,” Xu Bingying said, resting her chin on her hand.
Hearing this, Shen Yunxing breathed a sigh of relief, but the sense of crisis didn’t completely go away.
Watching the woman fawn over Mr. Fu, Shen Yunxing thought, I can’t wait until the 25th. I need to confess to Mr. Fu soon!
At noon, the three had lunch together again. After the meal, Xu Bingying received a phone call, briefly said goodbye, and left eagerly.
Seeing her excited departure, Shen Yunxing felt something was off, but he was glad to finally have Mr. Fu to himself and didn’t think much more about it.
Having not seen any sign of his “love rival” all afternoon, Shen Yunxing relaxed and sneaked into the break room to pull out the model he had two-thirds finished from under the bed.
“Is this part already done?”
He scratched his head, having no memory of when he had assembled it.
But no matter, at this rate, he’d be done in another hour!
